Lemonade
Victoria H.

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

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!!

Solid lunch spot! Food was flavorful, portions were just right, and service was quick. Definitely satisfying--would come back.

7. Pho Tai
Brittney S.

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

The two orders of foul shrimp

What a huge red flag that a restaurant would send out shrimp Pho - while knowing the shrimp was spoiled! It smelled like ammonia and we could immediately smell tue funky odor as soon as the delivery bag arrived. We avoided a dangerous situation, but seriously...shame on Pho Cafe.

Shrimp Pho with chicken broth
Betancourt E.

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 .

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.

I really love how flavorful the broth is here, it really stands out compared to other pho shops. The meat is so tender, and they also offer free noodle refills which is an incredible deal so you can enjoy more of the fresh chewy noodles if your heart desires. We also think the toppings bar is a genius idea. I hate wasting the toppings at pho places where they just give you a huge plate of it, so it's perfect to just get the desired amount you want to reduce overall food waste. Absolutely no complaints and will be coming back again and again.

The VALUE is OUTSTANDING and almost hard to believe. I recommend arriving before noon, as there's usually a wait between the busy lunch hours. After a couple of visits, my go-to is the Chicken Pho where it's light, clean, and refreshing, much like a comforting chicken noodle soup. For the second item, I'd choose the egg rolls over the wontons where it's crispy, flavorful, and highly satisfying. Great food, great service, and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

There were allegedly no tables available so we were told to put our names down. We waited about 7-10 mins and were sat. We each ordered the House Pho since it seemed to be the most popular dish, as well as an order of Spring Rolls. The waiter who was attending to us repeated our order which was (2) bowls of House Pho, Spring Rolls, and (2) beverages. When the food came out we only received one of the Pho dishes and one beverage. We asked to follow up on our additional soup and beverage only to the waited to tell us that we had only ordered one soup dish and one drink. We were very confused since he had repeated the order to us before sending it to the kitchen. The soup itself was lukewarm and flavor of the broth wasn't necessarily extraordinary. Similar to what others have written, it lacked flavor and tasted watered down. Pho should be packed with flavor and hot. The quality of meat was okay, but don't think I'll be going back. I wish I had nicer things to say about this place, but everything was disappointing. TLDR; overhyped, lacks flavor, and overpriced.

Each time I've come the waitstaff has been super friendly, and the food amazing. So, when planning a little birthday lunch for my mom's 81st birthday, this was one of the first places I thought of. My mom lives in south LA and we live in the valley, so after picking her up, we wouldn't have to travel far to eat. Although we planned to arrive to the restaurant at 2, traffic was horrible and we arrived at 230pm. After looking for parking, I dropped the fam off at 2:40 so they could sit and look at the menu while I found parking. I get a text from my husband saying they closed at 3 so hurry. This was news to me, as I thought they closed at 5. I found parking and rushed in at 2:48, to see my family outside the restaurant. Perplexed, I went in to ask if we could still eat, as it wasn't yet 3pm. No wait staff came to the front to greet me, so I walked in a bit and asked the waiter if it was okay to eat. The waiter said we close in ten. I said I thought the website said you closed at 5. I must have read it wrong. I understand, but it's not 3 and we came a bit of a distance and it's my mom's 81st birthday. The waiter, whose name is Jack, offered to ask the kitchen if they would still make food. I said yes please would you ask? While Jack was asking, another waiter asked me if I had been helped. I told him yes, that Jack was asking the kitchen if we could still have lunch. This waiter says, we're closing in 10. I'd like to have lunch too. And walks away. Yes, with shade. Jack returns and says it's fine as long as we can order within a few minutes of getting the menu. I say great and we all come in. The 2nd waiter takes our order with the least amount of personality he possibly can, and the whole lunch is slightly awkward and we're not able to truly enjoy ourselves with the feeling of "we better hurry up and eat" lingering. By the time we ordered and received our food (which was delicious as usual) , there were still 4 other groups of customers there, and we actually left the restaurant within a minute or two after the last customers before us. Also, no one came around to ask how our food was and if we needed anything. I'm giving 3 stars because this experience didn't quite sit right with me. Yes, it was near closing, but your doors weren't closed and there was no sign saying last call/order at 2:45 or anything like that. I feel like once the kitchen approved making our lunch, customer service should have been at its peak for paying customers, who gave no attitude and tried to be as polite with the ask as possible. It was not. I still tipped 25%, because Jack (waiter 1) was polite and my 81 old mama who I was celebrating raised me that way, but I'm not sure I'll patronize them again.

It comes with chilies and fish sauce for you to pour on top. The rice cakes are served warm and are super smooth and soft. The thai chilies it comes with are spicy so don't use too much. The vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls comes with a slab of meat and a whole egg roll. The bottom are the noodles and mix of veggie and herbs. The nem nuong is sweetened charbroiled pork that is grilled. Think of a sweet meat ball. The egg rolls are super crispy and filled with meat. The noodles go well with the fish sauce and there are a lot of veggies inside. The nem nuong coun is a spring roll that's wrapped in rice paper. It has the meat and lettuce wrapped inside and comes with a dipping sauce. I believe the sauce is made with ground shrimp. For $8 for 3 rolls it is a steal compared to other restaurants. If you are craving Brodards in OC this place can satisfy your craving. Their che ba mau which is a 3 bean dessert has a lot of beans inside topped with coconut milk and shaved ice.
