    I'm Vietnamese so my review might be biased on their pho tai. The broth tasted good although the color was a little dark rather than clear. The clear / golden broth takes a little mastery (parboiling the beef bones to remove impurities and slow simmer rather than boiling) but it could be that they char the onions and ginger which darkens the broth color. Or it could be the fish sauce and toasted spices. The other thing that I immediately noticed was the beef slices didn't come rare, so it was chewy rather than tender. They probably precooked the beef slices, which is the opposite of how Pho Tai should be prepared. Otherwise, flavor profile was not bad but perhaps it's due to this place being Thai/Viet fusion so there's less importance on authenticity. The service was good and the overall decor was cute/ place looked clean. Parking might be tough as there are other businesses in the same plaza.

    This is our 4th time here, and this place never disappoint. They have Thai food and Vietnamese food. Food Selections are quite good & food is very tasty. My favorites by far are m: Vietnamese pork chop, chicken sate, tofu bun and thai tea so good Their food is not ordinary - you will be happy you tried this place and will keep coming back for other dishes to try. The servers are very warm and attentive. Great to call in and order food to go, but the experience of dinning in is still the best. A/C is fantastic, but I like the mural on their wall the most.

    Sausage fried rice

    I liked it. Was craving some pho in this cold rainy weather and this place hit the spot. Inside is simply decored, with a few tables for seating. A good place for small groups. I got the rare steak pho and it was good! Exactly what I needed. Their fried rices are pretty good too. They also have a few Thai dishes, rice and noodles, and even some banh mi on the menu. So I'll definitely be coming back to get more. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's a small lot in front but it fills up fast. Otherwise there's street parking within a block or two.

    presentation was cool i guess.

    I usually hate leaving low ratings, but Pho District Cafe in Eagle Rock was... underwhelming. I went in hoping for a comforting, authentic bowl of pho, but the broth was bland and lacked real flavor not what pho should taste like. It didn't have that rich, aromatic depth you expect from traditional pho broth, and honestly felt more like flavored hot water. Several folks on Yelp have echoed similar thoughts, saying the pho didn't live up to expectations and that the broth was nothing special or memorable. On top of that, other reviewers mentioned things like inconsistent quality big portions of noodles but barely any meat in some bowls which just adds to the disappointment when the star of a pho meal should be that bold, beefy broth. There are some positive reviews where people enjoyed the vibe and some of the other dishes, but if you're coming here specifically for pho that tastes like pho, be prepared to be let down. This place has potential, but the broth needs WAY more flavor and authenticity to compete with the great pho spots around town. (I'd honestly recommend trying elsewhere for real pho that hits.)

    Sausage fried rice , the combination noodles , and the chile sauce was bomb!

    Sausage fried rice, combination noodles, and the chile sauce are bomb! Late dinner cravings satisfied.

    Beef Bahn Mi
    Ellie R.

    Came in and was seated immediately in a beautiful and clean restaurant. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, and the food came out fast. I was recommended the Beef Bahn Mi, but wasn't particularly impressed. While the sandwich looks impressive, the bread and beef were both dry and bland, being propped up by mayonnaise. The flavor was also lacking, as the sandwich didn't include a lot of the iconic pickled veggies, just a bit of shredded carrot. For $18 after tax and tip, I left disappointed.

    I tried the Pho Dac Biet here and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. I'm pretty particular about where I go, so I was initially hesitant because I noticed they also feature Thai-inspired dishes and I wondered if the pho would taste different. But I'm happy to report that the broth was consistent and satisfying. It wasn't as hearty or beefy as some other places, but it was flavorful enough to satisfy my pho cravings and definitely hit the spot! It's served with a nice platter of beansprouts, basil, and jalapenos, along with the usual array of sauces at the table. The portion of meat wasn't as generous as I would have hoped for but still filling after I had finished the bowl. The service was friendly and attentive. The staff checked in to see if I needed anything and made sure to refill my water, which was much appreciated. The prices were a little on the higher side, but considering I wasn't in the mood to drive all the way to Chinatown or the SGV for pho, this place was more than adequate. It was fairly busy for a Sunday afternoon, but I think there's plenty of parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. Although this place has a Thai influence, the Pho Dac Biet was legit and definitely good enough to make me want to come back. Thank you, Pho District Cafe. I can't wait to return to have more of that delicious Pho.

    Pho was piping hot! The portion is huge and could easily be shared with 2 people. Meat was tender and the broth was flavorful.

    Ice and ice Thai coffee
    Bill A.

    I finally got a chance to try this place and ordered a variety of items: pho, papaya salad, sausage fried rice, spring rolls, chai tea, and Thai iced coffee. Starting with the pho -- the broth was a bit bland on its own, but once I added the condiments and herbs, it came together nicely. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. Next was the sausage fried rice. The sausage itself was sweet and flavorful, but the rice lacked a bit of seasoning. Decent, but nothing standout -- 6/10. The pot su was good, but nothing particularly memorable. Solid, just not special -- 7/10. The spring rolls were large and filling. Paired with the peanut sauce, they were enjoyable, though still fairly standard. I'd rate them an 8/10. The papaya salad was my least favorite. I've had papaya salad many times before, and this one was a bit too hard and crunchy for my taste. The acidity was there, which I liked, but the spice level was very mild -- I could barely taste any heat. Overall, 5/10. On a positive note, the interior aesthetics were really nice. I loved the artwork and drawings on the walls -- very inviting atmosphere. The customer service was excellent as well. We were greeted right away and taken good care of throughout our visit. Even though some dishes were hit or miss, I would definitely come back and give this place another chance.

    Rare steak, beef, tendon, tripe and meatball pho noodle soup
    Anna M.

    Food: 8/10 - the portions are 10/10 though. We ordered the rare steak, beef, tendon, tripe and meatball pho noodle soup. It was really good. Our go-to is all the way on Broadway near Chinatown so this was a pleasant surprise and just around the corner from home. We also ordered the chicken fried egg rolls and also delicious. Service: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 - the restaurant is clean, roomy and modern. Great addition to our wonderful community. Can't wait to work through the entire menu!

    Delicious Beef Khao Soi
    Sophia A.

    Wow, we were seriously impressed, 10/10. Ever since our trip to Thailand last fall we've been on the hunt for the best Khao Soi, going as far as OC. We've tried a hand full of well known, highly reviewed, popular spots, but Pho District Café blew them out of the water. We came in for lunch on a Wednesday and the place was quiet, which was surprising considering how good everything was. The pork jerky was tasty (especially with the chili sauce), and the fried wontons were insanely crunchy, the perfect texture. We got a side of rice too, and it was a big sharing portion. My husband got the coconut palm drink and it honestly tasted like Southeast Asia in a bottle; sweet, nostalgic, and sooo refreshing over ice. I ordered the Vietnamese drip iced coffee and it was super strong but creamy! Now for the main event: the Khao Soi. It was perfecttttt. Broth was spot on with flavor, not too peanutty or too thick like some versions, and not too overly tangy or thin either. It had a solid level of spice already, but we added a bit more heat and it took it to the next level. The noodles were thick and al dente, just like what we had in Chiang Mai at our favorite Michelin guide spot, and all the toppings were also right. I got the beef, comes with sliced brisket thinner cut, but still super flavorful and honestly better than some "fancier" versions I've tried. I'd just ask for the crispy noodles on the side next time to keep them crunchy longer. Service was great! Super friendly and checked in with us a few times asking if we were happy, full, they went out their way to make sure we were satisfied. Interior is so cute with the spray painted lanterns art and signage, I would come in just for nice coffee and book tbh. I've seen a couple reviews about wait times, but honestly, they're still relatively new, so I say give them a little grace! Good food is worth the wait in my opinion! Our food came out fast but I'd still wait, people need to chill out? Haha Already planning to come back and bring the fam and try other dishes. If you're craving Khao Soi or just want solid Vietnamese/Thai comfort food, this spot is a gem.

    One of our favorite neighborhood spots! The staff is so friendly and the food is fresh and tasty. Especially recommend the Thai tea, sweet and sour chicken, and mango sticky rice! They also have the tv on with good music playing so the vibes are always excellent.

    I was excited to eat here because of the stars and great reviews. Uggh. Had lunch today with my daughter. I ordered pho with just tendon, tripe, brisket. She ordered rare steak and tendon pho. So disappointed. The soup. Normally pho soup is slowed cooked and you can taste it. Flavor was a 1. They put alot of noodles but i had 1 piece of brisket! I had to ask them what happened?! So they gave me 5 small pieces. Then barely any tendon! Upsetting since its $18. They packed it with tripe. My 16 yr old daughter felt the exact same. She had barely any meeeeeat and tendon!!! She said it was ok, but Not good. The veggie rolls were only ok nothing special. I had the iced Vietnamese coffee it was good. She had water. For her and i for lunch with a tip it was $74. :-/ Wont be back. Cute place, nice lady (staff), clean, but won't be back unfortunately. 4 thumbs down.

    Highly recommended! Going to try
