    The pho was fine, nothing special. But $30 for a regular size bowl of noodles, broth, and maybe a quarter lb of beef and a small iced coffee feels insulting. Also the usual counter service and self-bus with expectation of a tip. The owner also parked his cybertruck in the no parking zone between two handicap spots--effectively blocking both for anyone who needs them--WHILE someone with a handicap sticker was parked there. I saw the driver of the handicap vehicle struggle to get into his vehicle while clearly in pain and yeah I'll never come back here again. I guess if you like asian pop music and a sterile eating environment it's chill.

    It was a nice restaurant. They have kind of a bar where you can grab what pho things you want so there isn't anything wasted its really nice. I will say the sprouts looked really sad but everything else looks good. The pho was good. They have lots of options. It was a little spendy imo, but maybe I'm just feeling inflation and missing the good ol days of 9.99 pho. The chicken wings we got were delicious.

    Regular Pho - Brisket and Flank Steak
    Keilyn K.

    I ordered a regular brisket and flank steak pho to go. It was nicely packaged and comes with a bowl you can use to eat out of, no chopsticks or spoon though. The broth was great and I appreciate getting the sides (sauce, basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and bean sprouts). The "regular" portion was perfect. The only downfall is that most of the flank steak had lots of connective tissue making it extremely chewy and some parts were inedible. Brisket was good though! Noodles were good too (I had to heat up my broth and let them sit for a bit to become softer). Overall 3/5. I would return again but I would probably just get brisket.

    I liked that they had a serve yourself area for the toppings for the pho which leads to less waste. The portion was decent. The broth for the chicken pho was lacking the pho flavor, it tasted more like a chicken soup based stock.

    Came here for a post workout meal and left pretty satisfied. I got the chicken breast katsu, which came with A LOT of katsu, some salad and rice, and katsu sauce. I was super impressed by the portion size here as they really loaded up on the protein! Taste wise, it was definitely more on the "fast food" side. I feel like Pho Box is more of a jack of all trades kind of restaurant, as they have a really extensive menu of different things including pho, Korean food, rice bowls, etc. You order at the front when entering the restaurant, and then choose a place to sit. The staff will bring out your food to you when it's ready. Service is pretty minimal outside of that, water and utensils are pretty self serve. Inside is decently large, with a good mix of small/large tables.

    We visited Pho Box with a big group on a Friday evening. It's a small, no-frills spot, so don't go in expecting much in terms of ambience. It's all about the food here! We ordered the chicken pho, chicken banh mi, and taro boba tea. The chicken pho had a flavorful broth, but it was a bit too mild for my liking. After adding chili oil and the hot sauces they provided, it really came to life and tasted great. The banh mi sandwich was a hit with my kid--she loved it! The standout for me, though, was the taro boba tea. It was so good--creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're looking for solid food and don't mind the lack of atmosphere, Pho Box is worth a visit. I'd definitely go back just for the boba tea!

    Honey garlic wing plate

    Today was my fourth time going to pho box, I ordered my usual plate "crispy garlic wings". They brought me "honey garlic wings" ? No worries. Could have been a misinterpretation...So I let the server know and while doing so I also order me a side of rice. Server took the wings and said he was going to change them, I said thank you and waited; he comes back and tells me that there's nothing they can do about it because wings are expensive?? (The wings and rice I paid for.) he puts the plate back on the table and just walks away. I am very upset I paid $22.60 for 6 wings I didn't even eat. They brought me wings smothered in honey when the wings I get are crispy I'm not dramatic but these two very different things. I am very upset do as you please with the review

    I came here after my daughter's birthday party with the kids and my own family which was probably about 6 kids and two adults. They all ordered pho except me I just had a vermicelli bowl. Food was great and service per usual

    Went here as i was craving pho before flying Pho was okay. It was not as spice heavy as i would like, and wasn't topped as heavily. Cilantro could be added via the sauce bar however. The meatballs was delicious, as it has a heavy garlic flavor. I would recommend that topping if you were to go get pho. The meat in the bowl was not as seared compared to other places I've been, so it also wasn't as flavorful as I'd like. Service was good, the owners seem nice and was able to accommodate takeout requests. It was a casual place so it fit the vibe and atmosphere. The bahn mi looks to be value, so I'm curious about it. Would want to try it out whenever I get the next opportunity.

    We were really excited to try this place for the first time! We were excited about all the options they had available. We finally settled for the crab Rangoon, honey garlic wings, sundubu, and pho. Everything tasted really good! I've had better sundubu tofu soup elsewhere but it still tasted good. We'd love to come back and try other items on the menu. The cashier was friendly and explained where to grab sides and utensils. Nice little place on the inside. Also, the Thai tea was delicious! I forgot to take a picture but highly recommend everyone to give it a try!

    Very clean and fully stocked. A very nice touch.

    Went and had dinner here last night with my partner. The woman at the counter was very friendly, helpful and gracious. I ordered chicken pho and he ordered the pork banh-mi and spring rolls. The spring rolls are what I believe a spring roll should be. Simple and tasty with a crunch. The bread on the sandwich was fresh and the pho was nice to have. This establishment is clean, friendly, modern and spacious. They have a unique set up that I really enjoyed. We will definitely be back to enjoy other items on their menu.

    Located in a strip mall with lots of parking. You can either dine in or take out. I did take out. My order didn't take long, maybe 10 min. I ordered the shrimp vermicelli and spring rolls. Both were yummy. The spring roll could've used fresh basil and the vermicelli could've came with more vegetables and vermicelli considering the price. The taste was definitely there, just my preference for an abundance of fresh veggies. I would come back and try their bahn mi.

    Service and ambiance was top tier! Staff were attentive but not over bearing. Upon entering you are greeted and prompted to order at the counter. Once you've paid you can then claim a table, get your beverage from the soda machine, grab utensils, and all the condiments/add-ons you'd like they offer at their open bar. The furniture and decor was very modern and clean. Service was so fast! Never felt like I was waiting too long, we did come during the day on a Friday so not sure what it's like on weekends/evenings. My friend and I ordered their combination pho and honey garlic wings. I personally thought their pho was a bit too sweet, at least for my taste. Their honey garlic wings were the highlight of our meal, so crispy and tasty! Their pho was not my cup of tea, but maybe it's yours if you prefer pho on the sweeter side! I would definitely come back to get wings and try their vermicelli bowls (saw other people order & looked delicious).

The bench was higher from the table, so sitting was somewhat uncomfortable if you were on the bench side. Ask for the other side of the tables if possible. I enjoyed that the grills had the fan all around the grills so that it pulls the smoke automatically. I liked how you didn't have to worry about smelling like bbq after you left the restaurant so that is a plus! Our group ordered the premium butcher feast ($155) and ordered a couple of appetizers and sides on the HH menu. All of that and it was plenty of food to feed all of us. We got the Wagyu chuck roll steak, marinated Wagyu rib finger, marinated prime zabuton and pork Jowl for the table. I really enjoyed the pork jowl. It was very soft and buttery. Overall, quality of the food was really good and would recommend.

That was some chews fatty meat, honestly all four meats that came with our meal were chewy and a ton of fat. Wagyu should melt in your mouth. All the little side dishes were very good. And we had a Korean rice cake in a cheesy sauce that was good as well. But the bottom line is for $100 that meat is a poor quality. My feeling is sometimes people open up restaurants, advertising Wagyu, and then realize how expensive it is and start making cutbacks.

I was honestly surprised because I remember waiting for a couple hours at the SF location a few years ago. Between the nine of us, we ordered a few kalbijjims and naengmyeons to share. DAEHO KALBIJJIM - 88.95 + mild +5.95 for mozzarella cheese Lots and lots of cheese, so if you're not a cheese person, I'd definitely skip the add-on. The portion was generous, but there wasn't as much kalbi as I expected. Instead, it was loaded with onions, carrots, and only about four rice cakes. That said, the kalbijjim itself was incredibly saucy and flavorful. Every bite became more addictive than the last, and I couldn't stop going back for more. MOOL NAENG MYUN - 21.95 A bit pricy for what it is, but we split it between four people as a refreshing side. It was gone within a few bites. The broth was tangy, icy cold, and refreshing, which contrasted perfectly to the rich kalbijjim. You really can't go wrong with this combination. Overall, delicious and satisfying food, but pretty expensive. It's one of the better kalbijjims I've had!

    Visited the restaurant for the first time on a Saturday evening. Joined the waitlist at around 6pm,…read morebut didn't get seated until 7:30pm for a party of 7. Parking: Around the restaurant has ample spots, however when my party visited, all 3 cars could not find a spots as all of them were taken. When I arrived, there were already a few cars just circling to try to get a spot if any patrons were leaving. Most other reviews didn't have issues with parking as I assumed they arrived earlier? Customer service: + friendly service and decent once you were able to flag them down - you have to almost flag them down for all/any services such as refilling water, checks, to-go boxes etc Food: 1) Spicy Squid Noodle * cold noodle dish with squid, white noodles and vegetables mixed with gochujang based sauce. Not particularly spicy or not. - imo the amount of squid for a near $20 noodle should have a little more.. 2) Daeho kabijjim + mild was good for the party as it's slightly sweet and not spicy with gochujang based sauce. Short rib was nice and tender with potatoes, onions and carrots. We chose to add noodles and cheese which they torch at the table to melt it on top. 3) Combination Suyuk + great umami and saltiness to the soup, very creamy and rich. + combination of tendon, brisket, short rib and (forget the 4th) as well as mushroom and spring onion makes it rich creamy and umami. Banchan was great, kimchi and radish are very likely homemade along with the other 3 banchans. But imo, their radish is old (overly fermented) while kimchi has a nice balance of spiciness, sweetness and tartness at first but a little sweet aftertaste. Lastly, if I'm not mistaken, I did not see any sign or note in the premise or on the menu indicating mandatory 20% tips for big party (even though I'm well aware it's normal but I believe businesses should be transparent). However when we were paying the bill, the server clearly indicated they included the 20% tips to our bill so that patrons do not "double tip" unless they wish to. So bottom line is they are quite honest on that but wished they are more transparent

We found a spot right out front, and it's nice that you can also walk around the mall before or after your meal since there are lots of other shops and restaurants nearby. This was my first time trying JEN Korean BBQ with my family, and I was excited since I'd heard they have several locations across the U.S. We came for dinner, which is about $35 per person for the all-you-can-eat menu, while weekday lunch is around $25 per person, making it a great value if you're looking for AYCE Korean BBQ. They have a great selection of meats, plus plenty of appetizers. The corn cheese was definitely one of my favorites and is always a must-order for me. Everything came out fresh, and there were lots of options to choose from. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to bring out refills. I also really liked the ambiance the darker interior gives the restaurant a cozy, modern feel that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. If you enjoy Korean BBQ, this is a fun spot where you can cook your own food, try a variety of meats and sides, and eat as much as you want.

As visitors from the Bay Area where there are a bunch of Korean restaurants, I can confidently say the food here is far better than your average Bay Area Korean restaurant. Between the four of us, we ordered a 12 half-and-half piece wing set, a seafood pancake, a tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. Although food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen, the food is worth the wait! The seafood pancake was some of the best seafood pancake that I've had. The pancake had generous amounts of seafood in it and the crispiness could not be beat. Although the bibimbap comes in a large stone pot and is sizzling hot coming out of the kitchen, you unfortunately aren't able to extract any burnt rice from the bottom. Perhaps a little bit more oil is needed to achieve this? Despite this, it's still a really nicely constructed bibimbap bowl with a solid variety of vegetables. The chicken wings are crispy on the exterior and juicy on the interior. The wings are on the larger size, so once you get past the thin layer of crispy skin on the outside, I recommend dipping the wing back into the leftover sauce on the plate for more flavor. Last but not least, the tofu soup had a deep kimchi flavor, and was very mild in terms of spiciness. I thought the rice cakes included in the bowl were cooked perfectly and had a nice bounce to them. Overall, if you're looking for Korean food in this part of town, I don't think Danji Korean Cuisine can be beat.
