PHO 99 - Filet Mignon with Garlic - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

Went here cir breakfast on Sunday. Service is quick & friendly. I ordered Pho Tai Lang, lovevit.

This place is good. But not good enough for me to return. Let me clafify... My daughter wanted pho last week for dinner, we come in... service was quick and friendly. But, they literally dont have anything else on the menu besides pho. No appetizers, nothing. Not even drinks. Maybe im not normal... but i love having a side of egg rolls or spring rolls with my pho. Like i said, this place was good... but theres so many other places around thatll hit all the other marks. read more

Tim is an excellent server! His had wonderful customer service skills. The pho broth has lots of flavor, is not too salty, and not too oily. It's so delicious. It's my first time having pho here and I'll definitely return! Thanks for the good experience, Tim! read more

By far the best pho place here in El Monte. Might be even better than golden deli. There broth was on point. Definitely should try the rib bone! read more

As other reviews have already noted, this is the best pho in the 626 area. I was craving noodle soup today and saw that Pho 99 was new so I decided to come check it out. We were greeted instantly, brought menus and water. Ordered our food and it came out quickly. The broth is light but flavorful and their house chili sauce is delicious. My only complaint is that the meat could have been more tender. This will definitely be a regular rotation for me in the Fall and Winter. Loved that the restaurant was clean and had ample seating.

PHO 99 - P3: Filet mignon and beef balls, with regular noodles - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

I do not recommend this place AT ALL!! 1. The food isn't that good it tastes watered down and they gave only few pieces of meat. When I say few I mean 4. 2. I believe it was the owner I'm not sure but the waitress charged me the incorrect price and I told them the price on the menu and they said no and didn't even apologize or change it so I said it was ok it's only a couple more dollars more it's not a big deal. She just stood there and stared at me. this is not how you run a business by trying to scam your customers and change the amount of the meal. You charge what is on the menu If you come to this place make sure to double check your check because they may try this on you. read more

Turned away at 7:28 even though they close at 8 on a friday night? Been here before and food is solid, but being turned away offering only takeout is crazy. read more

I came back to pick up a special Pho. It looks like regular pho, small size of other restaurants. The quality is going down. It was not included beef ball, just a little beef. The soup is too sweet . I'm so upset. read more

This place is good taste and good service my family always love this Pho ! Thank you

On most visits, I've enjoyed a delicious bowl of pho with rich, savory flavors. I'm am not a fan of the plastic utensils. The staff is nice but you may not always get everything you ask for. If you go knowing these things then the experience can be more enjoyable. read more

We went to try pho99 during their grand opening. There is a good amount of parking and we were seated right away. I understand that when restaurants first open, there are things that could be improved on and there is a learning curve. As a restaurant that serves only pho, the plate of beansprouts/mint/lime was not brought out with the pho and also no spoons or saucers were provided. We asked for it about halfway through our bowl and the server brought out 2 saucers that were dirty with food on it. At that point we just went on with our meal and squirted the sauce on the vegetable plate. It was not too busy and there were a lot of servers so I think that with time and good training, these issues can be resolved. I had the pho #1 combination. The noodles and meat were great. However, the broth was more on the oilier/fatty side and a little bit cloudy. This may just be their style of broth but I prefer a broth that is skimmed regularly and is more clarified. I will try again in a few months to see if things improve but for now I will stick with my usual spot in San Gabriel. read more

Went in on a Saturday before their grand opening around 11am and it was pretty busy! The inside looks like the previous restaurant but we got seated quickly. There were a lot of families and pho all costs 12.99. In this economy, that's really not bad at all! Only one size for pho. Saw they had Chao long, which I'd only had when my mom makes it at home so I had to try it! Chao long was more like plain Chao and then they added the pork offal plainly, topped with ginger and onions. It was my friend's first time having it and they enjoyed the light flavor contrasting with the organ flavor of the offal. I'm used to a much stronger flavor and the Chao being brown from infusing with the offal so it was a pass for me... Great entry to the dish for someone who hasn't eaten organ meats before though! Pho was good as well - a little salty for my taste but not bad at all! Good amount of meat and a perfect portion in my opinion for the price. Overall, I'm super happy there's a good pho option so close to home in El Monte! read more

I just found out about this new pho place and decided to try it out on opening day. To be honest I believe the restaurant has potential, but there are some improvements that need to be made. The pho came out very fast and wasn't hot enough. I felt it was lukewarm and also the bean sprout and veggies that goes along with the noodle wasn't brought out in advance and had to ask for it. I also ordered ice tea, but got water instead and was charged for it. I was also charged for items that didn't match the price on the menu. I've been to several pho places and I'm used to the broth being clear. When the pho was brought out it was very oily and difficult to eat. This is something that need to be changed because I'm sure customers would like to see clear broth instead of it being surrounded by oil. read more

I had P8: Pho with filet mignon, fatty flank, and tendon. The tendon was delicious, quite flavorful and tender. Copious noodles too! Vietnamese coffee was strong and rich, with a slight smoky finish. Best of all: soft ice! Great place for lunch. read more

For pho regulars you know what you're looking for. To any one not in the know, pho is about delicious food in generous portions for a reasonable price with a few nice customization options on top. Pho 99 checks all those boxes with no compromises. The staff work hard and are attentive. The shop is kept clean and food runs from the kitchen with speed and efficiency even when the place is packed. The noodles are flavorful and they're not skimpy on the meats either. If you want some good honest pho this is the place to go. read more

Without exaggeration I've been to Pho 99 about 2 times a week for the past month. This pho is amazing even before any of the garnishes are added. Once it is fixed to your liking and you have that first sip of broth you'll never want to eat another bowl of pho anywhere else. I usually order P3 (filet mignon and meatballs) and add tendon to it. Aside from the food being phenomenal, the service is also exceptional. The pho always comes out within 2 minutes of ordering. Tim is the best :) I tell everyone about this place. This Pho has literally cured my depression and anxiety. Truly life's medicine. read more

Service is a 2.5 out of 5 Came here for their grand opening later in the day since they were super busy in the morning. There was 1 family seated when we got in and the cashier informed us we could seat ourselves anywhere. After being seated a waiter came over to provide the menu however he did not speak English which was fine, since a different waiter served us when we placed our order. After placing our order they came back with 1 dish of bean sprout (not blanch which was fine) 2 quarter cut of lime and 2 basil stems. We had to ask separately for the vinegar onion since we saw another party received it. For the food I would rate 3/5 We ordered 2 dishes, #1 (beef on the side), #13, and a side of beef tendon. We waited about 15 mins for our food to come and notice that the bowl was smaller than expected compared to others. They gave plenty of noodles, respective amount of protein, but it felt like there was not enough broth. The broth had good flavor but wished they provided a bigger bowl with more broth and if it was much hotter. We realized upon receiving my dish, they did not have my beef on the side and it was added into the dish instead. I was going to tell them but the broth was not hot enough to cook the beef anyways. (I actually saw another customer asked for more broth since he had his beef on the side and it wasn't hot enough either). After we finished our pho (20 mins after receiving our pho, the beef tendon came out, it was pretty fatty which was fine but man that broth was piping hot which is what I expected for the pho. Not sure why we received it really late, It was either they forgot about it or it took that long to cook but they should have informed us). For being the grand opening, it was strange that not all table were ready in terms of their condiments, utensils, sauce, and sauce dishes. Even when we asked a waiter for sauce dishes he took from another table and then a couple sat at that table and now they didn't have any dishes either and asked the waiter. It wasn't as busy when we got there but did pick up after we left. The ambiance was nice but during that early evening the door was open and it attracted alot of flies so we had to eat and swat any flies that came by. Overall I would rate this 3/5 and probably would not come back due to the price of the dishes. There are others near sgv that are similar taste but better priced based on portion. One thing I will mention, the prices on the menu did not match what was charged, menu showed 3.99 for meat with tendons but was actually charged 4.99. Description on receipt was correct but the price did not match their menu. read more

The restaurant is clean! Very modern and open area unlike many pho places. The tables are roomy and definitely can stretch without bumping into others. The waiters are polite and quick. We were seated almost immediately upon entry and had waters ready. The pho itself is decent compared to what we get nowadays. The price is decent not too cheap not too expensive. Overall ill be back for more when im in the area. read more

This place is clean, the food is excellent, and they have official Sriracha. The meat is tender, the broth is beefy and light, and the noodle's texture is handmade. This business is new and they are figuring out the kinks but the potential is huge. With the 20% off, this is the best pho for the price anywhere in the 626. I would definitely give it a try and will definitely be back. read more

This is a new pho restaurant near our neighborhood. The ambiance is casual, and the noodle house is very clean. Service is fast and friendly. I ordered pho combination, which include slices of Filet Mignon, well-done brisket, soft tendon, tripe, and meatball. I can taste baked onions in the clear beef broth, which has a sweet and refreshing aftertaste. It's not as salty or oily as other pho shops' soup base, so it is a delightful choice for a hot summer's dinner. You can chose flat rice noodle, which is what I ordered, or vermicelli. The flat noodles is slightly softer and carries more broth when you slurp them down your throat. Halfway through eating I was surprised by a whole stack of beef brisket and tendon hiding at the bottom of the bowl. I didn't expect to have so much meat for the price. Very satisfying indeed. I will come back to try other items. read more
