Had a craving for Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Pho Chala was close by. Called in my order and it was ready within 10 mins. The young lady that took the order and greeted me when I walked in was nice. The restaurant itself, for the brief moment I was in to collect my order, was large and clean. I ordered both Shrimp Spring Rolls and Chicken Sticks, which are described as 'Grilled chicken leg satay, topped with peanuts and served with peanut sauce.' The Spring Rolls were a nice size and freshly made, but lacking in traditional mint, which wasn't listed in the description and sure makes a difference. The peanut sauce was okay, but again, lacking in flavor. The Chicken Sticks were a surprise. When I opened the container, it looked like thins "sheets" of chicken squares, folded and skewered, and glazed with sauce. I was expecting more of chunks of chicken, like a Thai satay stick. A Yelp pic from Dianna H a few months ago shows the folded pieces, but thicker and not as glazed. I should've read her review and skipped the skewers. Neither mine nor hers was topped with peanuts and I didn't receive a side of peanut sauce with the chicken sticks. What really surprised me is the chicken was cold. Not, "your order has been waiting and is no longer hot," but out of the refrigerator cold, which made the thin sheets tough to chew. My craving wasn't satisfied, but I was no longer hungry. Cheers!

The banh mi here was decent, but don't get anything chicken here. We were very underwhelmed by their chicken options. Came with a friend for dinner Thursday evening around 7:30, and we were the only ones in the restaurant for a while. Eventually another group came, but it wasn't busy at all. It's located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. The first thing I noticed after perusing the menu is that prices were very affordable. Everything on the menu was $16.50 or less. A bowl of pho costs $15, which isn't bad in this economy. We split #2 chicken sticks ($6.95). Usually chicken skewers are cut up in chunks, but they do sliced chicken skewers here which was super odd to me. It wasn't particularly flavorful either. Hard pass on this. For my main, I got #28 pork banh mi ($8.50). This was the star of the meal. The bread was crispy and the pork very flavorful. They don't skimp on the pickled veggies either. One minor complaint - I asked for my banh mi with no jalapenos and cilantro, and I'm not sure where that got lost, but my banh mi was served with everything. Luckily it was easy to remove before eating. My friend got #14 chicken vermicelli ($14.50). I'm pretty sure the chicken they use is the same as the chicken in the chicken skewers, so needless to say it wasn't good. The shrimp was delicious though! My friend was pretty disappointed by this bowl as 1) the chicken was underwhelming and 2) there was too much noodles and not enough protein. read more

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. read more

Pho Chala was a mixed experience for me. The pho broth was okay, but nothing especially memorable. I was hoping for something richer and more flavorful. The meat in the pho was disappointing -- it was chewy and had a slight unusual taste that threw off the dish. The herbs didn't help much either, as the mint leaves didn't seem very fresh and had some visible browning/rotting at the tips. That said, there were some positives. The egg rolls were tasty and came with a nice dipping sauce, and the pork chop dish was flavorful and enjoyable. Parking was also abundant, which is always helpful, though the spaces were a bit tight. Overall, I'd say Pho Chala has some good dishes, but the pho itself didn't quite hit the mark for me. read more

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! read more

Sorry but I just can't. Idk what the recipe is for their broth but it doesn't taste right. If I had to guess, there must be a lot of msg in it. The sandwiches here are good tastes great. I appreciate that this is a real Vietnamese owned and operated restaurant. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The food is good, but they have gotten my orders wrong every single time I've placed an order, no matter how many times I repeat the order to make sure they get it right. Their customer service is also not good. I've tried to made them aware of getting my orders wrong and all they say it's "oh" without even trying to fix the issue. read more

Delicious food! I ordered a #16 and it was so good! I enjoyed every taste about it! Thank you!

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. read more

I love Pho Chala! I usually order it through Postmates, and honestly, it tastes just like a warm, homemade meal, especially on a cold, rainy day. Their Thai tea is an absolute must every time.

Pho Chala - Chicken lemon grass with rice AND I added shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I see a lotta mix reviews for this place. But as most ppl mentioned Service at best is a joke . So here's the run down. Walk in at 1:00pm full restaurant empty.... So given if you're only getting one customer , there should be a sense of service or least act like you're trying . Ordered Shrimp/Chicken spring roll. The Server (prolly the owner's daughter) as all three of them were just sitting there. So she brings me shrimp and one pork , "saying we don't have chicken" so you just assume I'd eat the pork... The shaken Beef was probably the only best thing that came out of this experience. She brings my food and the rolls at the same time this time brought me two shrimp spring rolls. Once food served she never comes to even check if the food was good or if I needed anything. I just hear them chit chat in the back . No sense of the ONE customer they have . It must be that hard to have good customer service. Once finished waited another 10 min , Finally flagged down to ask for my bill. While they were playing with their Kangen water machine in the back. Food maybe good based what other ppls reviews are but the downfall of this place will be the lack of customer service/attention they give. Ambiance is w.e ... read more

You know it's a good song when you walk into a Vietnamese restaurant and everyone eating there, and everyone in the kitchen is Vietnamese. This place does not disappoint! The curry was really flavorful and full of chicken and veggies. Most times places overcook the chicken and it comes out rubbery... not this place. It was expertly prepared and made me feel like I was back in Vietnam. Very authentic. Very delicious. Put this place on your list! read more
