    Thai tea had a good flavor, only thing I didn't like is that it was 80% ice which I finish in two sips, I as the cashier and she said that was normal, that is the way the owners want it OK!!!! OTHER THAN THAT, IT IS DECENT PLACE

    New Pho place!! Highly recommend! I tried the pho salad. So delicious I'm looking forward to trying the soup next time! Ambiance is so relaxing and enjoyable; next visit will be with my coworkers. Service is quick, excellent and noticeably patient. She did not hesitate to invite me inside to take a closer look at their menu options... I wasn't expecting to have Pho for lunch, but her friendly demeanor was super inviting. I figured why not try it...She made sure I was happy with my order! I'll be back soon to try the soup even if it's 110 degrees outside... so worth it!! Wishing them much good fortune at this location!

    This new restaurant has very good pho salad. I've never tried their pho but the salad was great if you like more veggie feeling and not-too-hot dish for summer. The vibe is very Asian. I can even smell the plants and it's very relaxing! The tray is self service so be sure to store them away when you're done.

    Vernon is a very industrial area with warehouses and not many options for food at all. so when this spot opened up, we had to try it. One of the employees explained that this is a new concept of building your own pho, you can choose between thick or thin noodles, choose any and add as many meat options as you want. So that's the pho. Now the pho salad, basically pho but without the soup, they give you three things on the side to go with it, fish sauce, soup, and spicy garlic crisp sauce. The soup was flavorful but not heavy, it is a bit on the oiler side if you're looking for clear broth. Fish sauce is fish sauce, self explanatory. The spicy garlic sauce though, you have to mix your salad with this for even more flavors. 10/10 You can upgrade your main items to a combo with spring roll and a drink of your choice. We got the pass fruit and Thai tea which were both amazing. Thai tea isn't overly sweet which was perfect for my tastebud, and the passion fruit was refreshing. Service was top notch, when the employee explained and checked up on us, we thought he was the owner!!!! Interior was also very well done, love the aesthetic. Apparently all the tables, chairs, light shades, etc. were all customized in Vietnam. The flower light shade above the cashier counter I is extreme cute Overall, this restaurant did an awesome job at keeping it simple because everything was simply, so good.

    Wowwww! The homestyle broth was life changing! Probably the best I've ever had! Delicious!! I did the traditional thin noodles with shrimp. Everything is pretty much self serve. You go up to order, get your utensils, and if not busy they'll bring your food to your table. After you're done you return the tray to the station. So happy there's a great new pho addition to the plaza!

    I am a big fan of Pho... I tried the Pho with ribeye and a Thai iced tea. Food was delicious, hot and authentic. I secretly have been waiting for them to open for a few months. So glad to have this fresh option near my work! Beautiful decor and friendly welcoming staff!

When you walk in, you can already tell that this place is authentic. They have a koi pond and at least, when we went, it was a packed house during lunch time on a Wednesday! Prices for the pho were higher than average but the flavors were all there and we got our food minutes after ordering. My group ordered the #3 pho with rare beef the #4 pho with rare and well-cooked beef and a rice dish. We did not expect the rice dish to have such generous portions. The spring rolls and the crunchy spring rolls for appetizers come in sets of 3 and had the freshest of ingredients. Apparently, there is a private parking lot in the back but we did not find it when we were there. Fortunately, we did find street parking. Allot extra time to find parking since this is Chinatown, LA and you'll be fine.

The egg rolls were so fresh and crispy and way better than expected. Spring rolls and pho were also solid with lots of meat. My minor complaint is that the white onions were sliced a bit thicker, which is not my preference. Very fast service and there was no wait when we went for dinner on a Tuesday.

I got the garlic noodles - and it was more than I could eat (no surprise) so hubby got the leftovers when I got home. Even warmed up he agreed it was very good The fact LS has been here as long as it has, coupled with the fact they are often busy/full up, tells you the quality is consistent.
