    Garnish with eggrolls
    Peter M.

    When I came to Pho Chala, there was some hesitation on my part because, not only was the parking empty, but also the restaurant. With past experience, this has never transpired to what can suggest. That is, a bad choice for food. I walked in to a warm welcome. The plan was to have a relaxed lunch. Ordered the fried egg rolls to start. Came out hot, crisp, crunchy and with taste. After eating the whole order, I seemed to have had my fill. So I asked for the check, complemented the excellent service and bid goodbye. Funny thing is that once got into my car, my appetite fired up and guess what. I drove into the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant across the street.

    Cute family owned restaurant Lots of parking Love the decor Inside is very nice and clean Pho was good slightly sweet Fried rice has alittle curry mixed loved the Chinese sausage Vietnamese iced coffee was filled to the brim and was very strong! Server was a little girl who had the whole restaurant locked down! Definitely worth trying if nearby!

    Very good Pho in the area! Good service and clean inside! The Pho broth was really good and enjoyed it very much! The Sesame Wings were alright, nothing special! Would've gave 5 Stars but the wings didn't "WOW" me so 4 Stars! But still very good!

    Ordered on DoorDash and it was ready in 10 min! I appreciated how quick and easy it was to order and pick up especially since I'm not too far down the street. I walked in to pick up and the tables and floor were pristine which I really appreciated. There was also ample parking. We got the pork banh mi, filet mignon pho, and cream cheese rangoons. The rangoons were easily my favorite - great price for the amount and I love a good crunch. The soup broth and filet mignon tasted a little off to me even when adding in hoisin sauce and other toppings. Open to trying the other menu items though!

    great quick service! i got the pho beef combo and it had a good amount of meat. the flavor was great and wasn't overly flavorful like other pho broths ive tried at other restaurants. i also tried their vietnamese coffee and wow-- it was good and really got me caffeinated lol. definitely has the traditional strong coffee flavor. the restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of parking outside. will come back soon!

    Bun Thịt Nướng (with pork)

    Solid, fresh tasting Vietnamese food located in a strip mall. Bright, airy inside. Clean tables. Unassuming, friendly, fast service. - Pho beef combo (5/5): Flavorful soup base, meat to noodle ratio was good. - Spring rolls with shrimp (5/5): fresh ingredients in spring roll. Perfectly poached tender shrimp. - Bun Thịt Nướng (with pork) (5/5): tender, perfectly grilled pork (with some fatty pieces on it), (1) crispy egg roll and (3) grilled nicely seasoned shrimp on top of cold noodles, shredded green leaf lettuce, sliced cucumbers and crushed peanuts. Fish sauce on the side. Good flavors. All ingredients tasted fresh. I asked for more slices of jalapeños but I don't think they understood my request as it never came. No big deal. We will come back to try their other dishes!

    Pho filet mignon
    Jasmine N.

    I stopped coming here after receiving horrible services twice. The young lady, I think is the owner's daughter or related to them, is the cashier and waiter. From the moment we entered, she looks annoyed that we dared to interrupt her from playing on her phone, then throws down the menu, and doesn't check up on us for water refills until we asked for the check. At the end the most we got is a forced smile. When their a/c broke last year, the owner asked her if we wanted the fan on, she answered no on our behalf after closing the door. I understand having bad days and second chances but it's been consistently bad with this girl and I feel bad for the owners who are humble and trying to make it work. The food quality is good on most days but still not consistent, and I don't recommend getting their chicken entrees.

    How is this place a 4.9?? The great filet mignon is chewy; and they gave me only 4 slices of it! The vermicelli disintegrated when you pick it up with chopsticks. The soup flavor is lightweight meaning you can't even smell the fish sauce stink which is STANDARD. Specially if you added their lime and sprouts which is the option, the soup becomes a sad sour failure. Service is... well she is trying. I literally paid and left to go to another PHO place! Other points: Basil not fresh, no homemade charred chili.

    This is how iced coffee came. Not even filled up to the top.
    Helen C.

    The place was practically empty which was no biggie.. but was sooo quiet. They needed music or some kind of noise background We ordered: ICED COFFEE- they didn't even fill it up to the top MIXED BEEF PHO- not sure which type of meat it was, but it was the only one that was tender. The tendon was super hard... The meatball was also hard. I do have to say the broth was really good, which is the reason why they got three stars FILET MIGNON PHO- my husband like this. It's just a standard pho. I was not a fan of them, not having small dishes where you could put the hoisin sauce on the Sriracha. But they give us a tiny bowl to put it in so that was fine. The service was OK no biggie when we needed something she came. Would I come back? Most likely not.

Their pho is another reason I keep coming back--the broth is clean and light with zero oiliness, yet still full of flavor without that overpowering umami punch. You can really taste how well it's made. The pickled chili is a hidden gem--bright, spicy, and clearly house-prepared--and the prices are refreshingly affordable for the quality and portions. Don't skip the boba in coconut milk for dessert; it's creamy, refreshing, and the perfect sweet ending. Consistently delicious and always satisfying. Also the service is amazing too!

They have a parking lot out front , and we were greeted warmly by our friendly server immediately upon walking in. I didn't catch her name, but she's from Da Nang and so welcoming! A more diverse menu than some of our other faves... and I kept seeing that they are famous for their "#53 House Special Deep Fried Cornish Game Hen Marinated in Oyster Sauce" (CƠM GÀ NƯỚNG DẦU HÀO). This golden beauty has a crispy exterior, and is plated on a generous bed of rice. Not "broken", but still delicious! Drizzle some of their nuoc cham over the rice and chicken for a little extra magic! Order first because it needs a new extra minutes to prepare. We also ordered the House Special Imperial Egg Rolls (CHẢ GIÒ). True confessions, I'm usually judgy when I see egg rolls with the smooth wonton style wrappers rather than the bubbly, blistery rice paper wraps.. but these noble egg rolls won me over regardless! The shrimp and pork filling was well seasoned and delicious! I couldn't decide between trying their pho or the Vietnamese udon noodles.. since we were feeling adventurous, I went with the BÁNH CANH TÔM, CUA, GIÒ HEO at our server's recommendation. It was tasty, had decent shrimps and even a real crab claw! The broth was a little mild until I added some of the juice from the fresh lime wedges and that awakened the flavor! The udon noodles were perfectly bouncy and we devoured the bowl! For a little something sweet; we ordered a Che 3 Mau to go. Our thoughtful server offered to pack the crushed ice on the side so the dessert wouldn't get too diluted. It was refreshing and hit the spot! Our decision to come here was a spontaneous pivot, and we're so happy to have found this little gem! We will be back!

    I actually had high hopes for this place. After seeing the good reviews from fellow yelpers and a…read morerecommendation from someone, I had to try it out for myself. Just like a lot of pho places, they're in a strip mall of some sort. This one was part of a mini corner lot with parking available. A small lot but decent. We were meeting some friends for dinner which we arrived before they did. Friday night thinking it would be mobbed but there were actually loads of tables available. Everyone that was already seated were utilizing the booths that surround the restaurant. In the middle are tables which weren't utilized. We got seated along the tables where the windows are off the street side. At the beginning, service was great. Menus were brought out which they practically had everything on it. Your traditional Vietnamese dishes, hot pot as well as well as seafood boil. It was quite impressive which was also a good thing and something we wanted to check out. It did take us a while to order as there was so much to go through as they all looked quite interesting. I tend to know what I want but still, everything looked quite good. Started off with some beers while still going through the menu. From there we ordered some starter of the shrimp spring rolls and banh xeo (Vietnamese pancakes). Springs roll, 2 per order but cut in half's to 4 pieces. Nothing special about them. Banh xeo on the other hand was quite tasty with just the right amount of crispy ness and stuffed with shrimp and accompanied by the greens. That was a tasty dish and i do recommend it. The sauces that come with the roll and pancakes were quite nice too. As for entrees, it was a mixture of everything. I love me some oxtail pho. Which they had the X-Large oxtail pho. First impressions, there was nothing X-Large about it. The size was pretty much basic. But they did give a good option of the oxtail which was nice. Broth was ok, and the condiments that came with it minus the green pepper (jalapeño) which wasn't there is alway good added. It's wasn't what I expected. There was also two order of the banh mi, one with shrimp and the other with beef. Out of the two, the shrimp was way better. I do like it with a lot of the pickle veggies and jalapeño which would have been great. The beef on the other hand, it was a major miss. I expected grilled beef chunks of some sort but when it was brought out, it was basically thin slices. A major fail. Also an order of the fries which had a nice dipping sauce both ketchup and aioli. Lastly, an order of the fried shrimp. That was quite nice with big size shrimp and batter and fried to a nice golden crisp. Served with both ketchup and aioli sauce too. The food was ok, nothing major to rave about with what we ordered. Banh xeo and the fried shrimp was a hit. The other, oxtail pho and banh mi were a dud. But after the starters came out, we had emptied bottle and the emptied plates that needed to be taken away for room. When one of the servers came out with the pho, we asked if they could clear the table a bit so there would be room for the entrees, he just brushed it off as it wasn't his job. Ok, understandable but he then just pointed to someone else and just walked away. Another entree came out which, we literally had to explain to him that there were no room for the plates. Even with us gathering them and to show him and with the bottles. We actually had to flag one of the host guys down to actually help clear the table. Mind you, only the booths were utilized and it was still hard trying to get someone's attention. Even with the bill which we also couldn't get anyone's attentions. I had to walk up to get someone's to acknowledge us. Overall, I expected to much from all the great reviews from fellow yelpers. Could just be the night we went with the service. The place wasn't crowded which it was still a little ordeal. Overall, they'll have a good clientele and regulars. I expected too much from this place with high hopes but I don't think I'll be back. The menu is quite impressive which is a plus. But our visit, it was lacking.

Nonetheless, service was good and the wait was worth the quality. They've got some other viet staples like banh beo and banh xeo which I have to try at a later time. We ended up getting the fried calamari as an appetizer and it was surprisingly good like Italian restaurant quality, and of course eggrolls. The eggrolls were fresh and crispy and I appreciated that they actually give you a lot of lettuce and herbs to wrap with them. For the mains we got the bun cha Hanoi and bun thit nuong.

Go check them out, grab a lotto ticket if your into that, get some great food, support a local woman & minority owned business, not enough of them out there. Enjoy!

    Very friendly cashier. 3.95% fee for credit card…read more Banh mi bread was yummy but filling needed more butter, more pate. Pickled vegetables not so pickled. Food is alright. Asked for banh cuon special and there was two fried cha goi added. Had banh tet for $32, square and cylindrical shape. Bought their peanut brittle to try.
