    Seafood Combo #2 with chicken broth
    Hayden L.

    Came here again after a trip to IKEA and it was great again! It was the first time I tried any pho with chicken broth. It was good, yet definitely lighter and less bold than beef broth. I wish that there was a bit more seafood in the bowl though. The service was very friendly and fast. The ambiance is typical for a Vietnamese place. It's simple, clean and in a strip mall. It's a better choice than the chain restaurants on the other side of IKEA.

    I've never had heartburn before. 2 hours later and I'm still in pain, already took Alka Seltzer and Tums. The protein portions are in the small side. It was tasty but something in the mixed vermicelli gave me a severe case of heartburn and I've eaten and love very spicy food before, this meal in particular had zero spice so not sure what is causing it.

    The service was exceptional, and they were really on top of it. I don't know if it's a family or own business but if it isn't, there were way too many employees present and not enough customers. I was suspicious feeling that they have some kind of a deal with some advertising that was blasting so loudly that we couldn't hear ourselves. They have some kind of a radio station or something consistently speaking louder than their TV sets that is advertising for some stupid program and it's on a loop and so loud and obnoxious that we wanted to leave in the middle of our meal. Our Pho was not impressive. The broth was very watery and not rich. The windows were dirty, and the place did not look clean. We won't be returning.

    Flavor Budz What's Good! So why am I just finding out about Pho Crystal?! (Lol) NGL, I'm from Carson, like from Carson, who has been here since I was a kid. Mind you, I drive past this restaurant literally every other day and never really noticed it, I know, shame, lol But we'll circle back to that story later, lol. My husband and I wanted something warm and confronting to eat so we came here. First impressions are lasting impressions and the staff were welcoming and friendly. We were seated promptly and was able to place our order within 10 minutes of being seated. We ordered the Brisket Pho and it was flavorful, the Brisket was tender and plentiful. The portion size was a reasonable price this was hospitable experience. If you're looking for a family friendly restaurant to eat, laugh and enjoy time with the people you care about I would recommend dinning here.

    Came here randomly as I saw someone recommend it on social media. I got the surf n turf garlic noodles for take out and was impressed! I do wish it wasn't as "saucy" as it was but overall flavor was good! The price was very reasonable in comparison to other Vietnamese spots. And the gentleman gave me a refresher drink for the road! Will be coming back to try their other items!

    This is my favorite pho place so far in the area. The broth is really good quality and balanced. For the small size there's also a good amount of meat and noodles. Food came out fast and fresh. We also ordered the pork chop rice plate. Nuoc mam is also well made. Service was great! Also love the tapioca dessert they give at the end.

    This was my first time coming to this restaurant and the service was great. The server was attentive of my guest and I. She asked us if we needed anything every so often. The ambiance was spacious and we went before dinner time so not a lot of people. I enjoyed it and the food was so delicious. We didn't know what to choose, we wanted to get everything. We started with the Crystal appetizer platter, and the shrimp puffs were our favorite. We wanted more! My guest ordered the meat with egg rice platter and I ordered the seafood combination #2 with chicken broth! So amazing helped me with my sinuses! I can't wait to come back and try the surf and turf!

    Morning brunch was fantastic. Semi busy with plenty of seating available. Atmosphere was great with good choice of music. Upon entering, the server greeted and politely directed to my table. Very courteous, gave me enough time to order and especially answer any questions I may have especially about their selection of Pho choices. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, DRINKS: 1. Lemon water 2. Vietnamese Ice Coffee (only one size) APPETIZER: 1. Shrimp Puffs (6 Pcs) Seasoned shrimp wrapped in wonton shells and fried to golden perfection and served witha side of sauce. MAIN: 1. The Traditional Combo (Pho) Sliced steak, brisket, flank, tendon and tripe in a clear, aromatic broth. 2. Side of Shrimp (3pcs) and Beef Ball (2 pcs but cut in half to look like 4) Overall experience was amazing. The broth flavor and temperature was perfect. For a large size felt medium with a large bowl and especially the side items for $4 each, I expected more. I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    Ordered the Brisket Pho, spring rolls and Thai read through DD. The soup base was too salty. The meat wasn't dry but it wasn't soft like I prefer. The spring rolls have meat and personally I only want shrimp in it. The Thai tea was the only thing I really enjoyed. Overall it was okay.

    rare steak pho!

    Amazing and quick service! Food is always delicious and consistent and the workers are very courteous and kind. Reasonable pricing which is why I'm here every week!

    Garlic Noodles with shrimp and beef
    Maribel O.

    We were seated right away. And as the waiter brought water with lemon, we got the menu. We ordered the seafood pho with shrimp spring rolls and garlic noodles with shrimp and beef. The spring rolls were smaller than I've seen before but the peanut sauce went so good with them. It wasn't watered down , had good flavor & consistency. The pho soup tasted really good. It did not disappoint. Noodles were soft enough to cook in the broth, there was enough seafood for the amount of broth, noodles served. The noodles, shrimp and beef had good flavor. Only noticeable thing was there was more than enough oil on the plate, which was not appealing. We enjoyed the complimentary tapioca as a small dessert before paying! The environment was ok. The service was good. I would recommend this place as quick bite to eat or to go.

    Way too much oil!!!!!!
    Andres M.

    Was in the mood for some pho yesterday and decided to give this place a try since it's close to my house, and honesty I kinda regret it. I ordered the beef broth with shrimp pho and it just wasn't it. Not the usual tasty pho that I've had pretty much at every other viet restaurant. Needs a lot more flavor. Solid 2 out of 5 for the soup. I also got the surf and turf with the garlic noodles. It was pretty fair, nothing crazy! Beef was pretty tender at least, shrimp was tasty. But couldn't really finish cuz it was pretty greasy. Way too much grease. So that needs some fixing. Now let's talk about service. Some lady took my order and that was the last I saw of her. Never came back to see if I needed anything, or if everything was ohkay. Nope. There were literally 4 other guys walking around bussing tables and not a single one checked on the guests(not that there were too many). And last but not least, the only time some guy came around was to give me the check, halfway through my meal that is Gonna stick to my usual pho place after this

We arrived around 8 p.m. and were the only customers at the time, which worked out perfectly since we were able to enjoy the patio with our dog. The concept is similar to California Fish Grill but better. I ordered the House Combo fish and chips with shrimp and scallops, which came with cocktail sauce, ketchup, and tartar sauce. We also started with a bowl of clam chowder to share. My husband was extra hungry and ordered both the salmon salad and a rockfish plate. Each dish came with soft yet nicely toasted garlic bread. Between the two, I preferred the rockfish over the salmon. We also upgraded our side to grilled zucchini and it was delicious! Overall, it was a really enjoyable dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try their sandwiches and tacos next time.

Fried fish taco, barely any fish inside, mostly batter, no flavor The rest of the grilled fish tacos had no flavor. Salsa was so basic and tortillas were all Cold and stale.

They were just fried hollow greasy batter and it gives unpleasant lingering old oil in your mouth ugh They charge 15% fee just to eat inside. But you stand up and place order and fet drinks yourself...like whaat Definitely avoid this place

We waited for 30 minutes to be seated even though plenty of tables were open, waited another 30 minutes to place an order, waited another 40 minutes until the food came out. At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.

It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol
