the closest banh xeo outside of OC and it was so good, so filled with protein that it can be an entree on its own. the service was good and they were very informative to how to eat our meals, with attention to detail and calm environment which me and my partner enjoyed. read more

This is the third time that we've ordered Pho Cafe through Uber Eats that we've received about 1.5 oz of meat for our pho. A bowl of pho costs almost $20. The below picture speaks for itself. Not sure if they're mad that customers use uber eats over their own app, but something isn't adding up here. read more

Pho Café - Small amount of beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We spent over $100 on this order (via DoorDash) only to receive 3 orders of pho with no fresh sides (basil, green sprouts, cilantro or hoysin) this experience is so disappointing becasue we were looking to enjoy some good Pho this evening. Let me not even mention the spring rolls- I'll let the pics do the talking. read more

We ended up trying this pho restaurant in Silver Lake because the wait at Silverlake Ramen was too long and we weren't in the mood to wait. The pho tasted okay, but the meat portion was very small and didn't really justify the $19 price. It felt a bit skimpy for what you're paying. Also, the straw they provided was very flimsy. It cracked the moment I put it in my mouth and a piece broke off into my drink, which was pretty unpleasant. read more

Best pho ever! The flavor is subtle but in the best way. I do think they overcharge for extra protein for the small portion they give you. My coworkers and I order at least 6 times a month read more

Ordered form Uber Eats after landing at the airport and didn't know what else could come late at night. The takeout was nicely packaged and organized. The portion was slightly less than what I'm used to, but I don't quite have another pho place in DTLA to compare it to. The Uber Eats fees definitely made it more expensive, but convenient to get something before it closed. read more

I have to say I've only had delivery from this place and I enjoyed everything I've ordered so far. My latest delivery was the chicken pho and it totally hit the spot. There was a ton of chicken and noodles and I got all the veggies and sauces. They are really fast. Sometimes I feel like 20 mins barely passed and my food is already here. Hot, fresh and tasty. Considering I'm usually ordering lunch for myself I feel like the delivery fees and price of food is reasonable. I look forward to eating in their restaurant one day but until then, I'll definitely continue to order lunch here. read more

The food is amazing!!! The service and the ambience was great!!! I definitely recommend this place to get your food!!!

to start off, i'm not from silverlake, im from oc and i often get pho in little saigon. the pho from where im from is known for being good, so this definitely biases my review. i came in on a tuesday at noon and there was no wait with fast service. these prices are outrageous. 19 dollars for a bowl of pho... to make things worse, my noodles were undercooked and had just a tougher texture than usual. they give you a few pieces of meat, nothing to justify the 19 dollar price range. there were barely any pieces of tripe or tendon as well. on tops of that, the vegetables that came with my pho were very obviously not fresh. they had brown spots and i had to pick out quite a few bean sprouts that looked questionable. some of the meat in my bowl was also impossibly tough to chew thif you can make the drive i would definitely recommend going to get pho in chinatown la, much much better i gave this place 2 stars instead of one because the service i got was decent read more

10/10 food was made perfect. The noodles did not stick together like other restaurants. The spring roll was amazing made with lemon grass which not a lot of restaurants do. The lemonade is home made you can taste it. And the chilli has so much flavor we added it to our spring rolls and our pho. The service is so respectful, refilling our waters, serving the food with such elegance. The ambiance is homie with a touch of cafe. I will be coming back read more

We haven't been here in about 4 years since they stopped in person dining during the pandemic. I guess to-go orders were enough to sustain my all time favorite Pho spot. I'm not a fan of assembling Pho to go at home as I just want to add my jalapeños, sprouts and herbs and get down. (!) It was good to be back and not much seems to have changed. Different staff and same food thankfully. We started with the Banh Xeo which is named for the frying sound of the omelette-like dish with beef, shrimp, mushrooms, sprouts etc. Then, you briefly soak your rice paper in hot water to soften it then race to fill it before it sticks to your plate. I like to add a layer of lettuce, pickled carrot and then the omelette with some peanut sauce and Sriracha. There's also some fish sauce for a funky salty bite and some sambal. Next up is my all time favorite Pho Ga which is chicken noodle soup Vietnamese style. Pile in your sprouts, jalapeño and Thai basil and add the garlicky sauce and give it a mix. So very good. My wife got the beef Pho for a change since she was feeling a bit under the weather. All in all, we were very happy to be back. We will be back soon and we're glad to be dining inside here again!! read more

Place was terrible! The customer services was horrid, the food was horrid, and the tables and seats were all sticky. When we first arrived we only got a couple min to decide what to eat and the waiter came over and started snapping in front of my face to get my attention when I was literally asking the others if they were ready or not. Never go to this place and avoid at all cost. read more

I was here with my friends and the experience was horrible. There were hair and eyelashes in our food. They also served us frozen meatballs and everything tasted bad overall. They forced a 22 percent tip on us despite bad food and service. When we tried to click custom percentage the waiter turned the tablet around and clicked it for us. read more

The service here was horrible, they were trying to make us order faster when we were still deciding. When we got the food there were hairs in them and we found an eyelash in the drink. The server also gave me the wrong order and we overheard them saying they ran out of meat and they didn't even notify us. We were also charged for the other item which was a dollar more. Additionally, the place made us tip 22% even though their service and food were horrible. read more

We came here at 9:30pm but its fucking close when it says 11 or 11:30 pm there was someone inside a middle age man driving a stpid toyota car he looks like a manager or whatever. He was inside in front of me I was trying to get his attention just to ask if theyre close cuz it clearly says they close at 11pm. He just ignored me like wtf. We drove 30mins for that sht. It would be nice just to talk to me and say we close early sorry for the inconvenience ,but no he fking ignore me prolly didnt know how to speak english. So guys if youre planning to come here at night, don't come. read more

This place was terrible and disappointing. When I was paying, the tip option felt very pushy. I tried to select a custom tip amount, but the waiter changed it back to a larger tip which was absurd. Additionally I found hair in my food which was disgusting and made me question the hygiene and cleanliness of this restaurant. Overall the experience was atrocious and I would absolutely not encourage anybody to visit this place. read more

REVIEW BASED ON UBEREATS! As mentioned this is solely based on me ordering from here off of Ubereats. I have NO complaints whatsoever. The portions 10/10, flavor 9/10 and the extra care?! 10/10 I always make a note if i may please have extra limes and they never let me down. I love the broth of the Pho and only wish they offered cilantro and onion like other pho spots do. But anyways the meat protons are really where it's at! They don't skimp you. Also I've gotten the spring rolls and that peanut sauce?! Bomb! The eggrolls are so good too i can do without the dip it comes with it's too fishy for my taste. But the chicken and mushroom with all those leafy greens it comes with?! More please. I'll continue ordering from here because again i haven't had one bad experience yet and I've ordered from here 5 times already! read more

They give so little meat and herbs. Ordered for two and it felt like it was just one order split into two

Honestly was very disappointed with the quality of the food. We've ordered a few times through Uber Eats and it tasted great when delivered. Me and my girlfriend decided to dine in and the quality was horrendous. The eggrolls were soggy, the fish sauce for the eggrolls tasted like vinegar instead of being sweet. The broth on the pho had no flavor. And the noodles were completely hard I couldn't even chew. The guy was very nice tho. Can't knock his great service and personality. But the food was no good. Sorry to say. He didn't even give a discount on the food we didn't eat. He did look disappointed that we didn't touch our food. read more

Fantastic restaurant. Have been coming here for 15+ years. Extremely consistent, fresh , flavorful food. I'm Vegan now, #19 is my go to bowl, cold noodles with tofu, spring roll, mushrooms, veggies. So good. Atmosphere is clean and simple, friendly service. read more

We ordered through Uber Eats since our to go spot was closed, safe to say never ordering or eating from here again. It felt like the broth was mostly just water with a hint of seasoning. On top of that my girl and I got food poisoning from it the next day. read more

After ordering from Uber Eats, I had to make the drive to come in-person. There is parking and indoor dining available. I knew what I wanted without seeing the menu- Pho Tai . I ordered it extra hot with extra green onion. It was served to me in a large bowl with the veggies on the side (bean sprouts, mint leaves, etc) The flavors in the broth are there! Unfortunately, I wish I had more green onion and they were more attentive to dine-in guests. There is opportunity there. The space is very clean and condiments are already on the table. The ambience is very quiet. I wish there could have been some soft music playing. Also, the lights above the tables were off, which could have made the space more inviting. Overall 4/5 stars! The food is better in person! Made very quickly! Thank you read more

Went to pickup delivery order and they didn't let me use the bathroom claiming it's for "customers only." Disappointed

The food here is very tasty, I had the shrimp pho and it included plenty of big and fresh shrimp . The service was nice and friendly and fast and our meal also came out super fast out of the kitchen . I will come back here and soon as it was a pleasant experience all the way around . read more

Pho Café - Shrimp Pho with chicken broth - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Uber eats delivery. 10/10 wouldn't order again. My sweet sweet fiancé ordered a bundle of food for me while he was at work because what do I typically crave for right when I wake up? Vietnamese food. 1/10 banh xeo. Super oily. You'll find the usual bean sprouts and shrimp but instead of pork, it's paired with this super gamey heavily seasoned steak. Not a fan. It took away from the flavors and simplicity of the traditional banh xeo flavor. It didn't even come with fish sauce. I didn't even eat half of it. 1/10 spring rolls. Had that same super gamey heavy steak. I always devour my spring rolls but I couldn't even finish this either. Do yourself a favor and just go to an authentic viet restaurant. You'll be disappointed after consuming from here. Waste of belly space for something way better. read more

Pho Café - The two orders of foul shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Okay I tried their Banh Xeo....okay it's not traditionally made like my Ba's and my auntie's BUT it's still delicious and they had mint with this one! I've never had it served with rice paper, only lettuce and herbs so that was a new way to have it, I suppose maybe a region thing? I prefer traditional method but I didn't mind this one since the crepe was nicely fried -- there's a different restaurant in El Segundo that has absolute trash banh xeo (their batter is the consistency of American cheese and it's inedible). I get re-using the lemon grass steak for this one instead of using pork belly and shrimp. I will say my biggest regret of the banh Xeo is the sauce -- why you not give me nuoc mam? IYKYK that "peanut" sauce isn't the right sauce either...if you want to give me peanut sauce because of the rice paper, then it had better be made right and this was not it. The right way to make that sauce is with sweet rice and hoisin sauce and it's blended until smooth then sprinkled with peanuts. Anything else is just an abomination, sorry not sorry. It's labor intensive but then again most Vietnamese dishes are so... Again I still find this place to be an affordable gem and their herbs NEVER disappoint. And non traditional be damned bc that steak is delicious! Not a bad banh xeo, just not a traditional one and for the love of god serve it with fish sauce and not that imposter peanut sauce lol. Also, thank you for not stuffing it full with bean sprouts to make it appear fuller. Most places definitely overdo it on the bean sprouts read more

Lemongrass tariffs? Ordered Veggie Pho, no flavor. The heck? Been going here for over 20 years and it's thee best veggie broth. Not todayyy. So bland. Could have used a huge dose of flava. Gonna give em one more try in few weeks. Damn. read more

Place sucks. Broth has no flavor or depth and they skimp on meat. Their broth was literally slightly flavored water with bone broth. They gave me one packet of hoisin and siracha for my to go order. The owners also think they're so good because there aren't many pho spots in silver lake. I eat pho in little Saigon when I get a chance and this place is an embarrassment. The owners should be ashamed of their service and product. Their servers are also kind of rude. Avoid this spot if u want good pho I also saw that they don't let delivery drivers use thier bathroom. That's horrible! They provide a vital service for them and they deny them access. Will not order from this place again. Go to Ktown Pho or Pgo Gyu. Way better product, and super nice staff. read more

Really excellent Pho. We had the vegetarian pho and it was surprisingly packed with flavor! My friends call this their favorite pho spot. They are typically pretty busy but since the food is served so quickly people are in and out fast. The egg rolls were also very good. read more

Overall: 3.3/5 (Ubereats delivery) The food delivered pretty quickly but this isn't authentic Vietnamese food. Cha Ca LA Vong ($15.50) + egg roll ($3): This was okay. Thought the eggroll was better than the fish I grew up in the Bay Area so I have high expectations. It just sucks that we can't find any really good/authentic Vietnamese food in LA. Banh Xeo ($12.75): This was a different take on banh xeo where they put lemongrass steak and mushroom. I'm sorry to say, but this didn't fly with my husband and I. The steak just didn't go with the banh xeo. The shrimp wasn't cooked correctly either. We didn't use the rice paper which is also not typical for this dish; you usually use the lettuce leaf to wrap the banh xeo in. I don't think they gave nuoc mam either and provided a different sauce. Hard pass for us. read more

Been getting recommended this spot by some folks and was glad I got to try it. Broth is definitely not the most flavorful I've had in southern california, but it really hit my cravings for some home cooked food. The crew was really quick and accommodating, and our food came out so quick. Will definitely be returning if I don't wanna drive all the way down to OC read more

Before the pandemic, this was a sit-down restaurant and a genuine community hub. And delicious. And reasonably priced. After the pandemic, they never returned to table service. Takeout only, and the prices are thru the roof, thanks to restaurant and Doordash fees. Forget drinks and appetizers. You can't get out of here without paying $50 (including tip) for just two dishes. That is just ridiculous. And when you go to pick up your order, they still act like there's a plague in our midst. It's all urgent and impersonal. Sad to say, but I'm finally done with Pho Cafe. read more
