Pho Gà (Pho Bắc Ninh) is located in the corner of a very old plaza and has that classic hole-in-the-wall feel. It's simple, low-key spot with newspaper clippings and wallpaper pasted to the wall so nothing fancy about this place. The owners are nice and cordial. It was a quiet late afternoon with not many people around, and the owner kindly left me alone to sit, eat, and read for a while. I ordered in for a plate of appetizers and some egg rolls -- everything was tasty and satisfying. The egg rolls are good but I had better Banh Cuon -- the rice rolls was very simple and okay. read more

This is great comfort food if you're coming in for chicken pho or Hainan chicken rice. The broth is very refreshing and you can season it with any of the condiments like fish sauce or their blanched veggies. It comes with a mixed of boneless dark and white meat. Their Hainan chicken rice is a great introduction to chicken rice but the sauces is what makes the dish. They have a generous jar of ginger oil scallion and a bottle of chili oil. To be honest, it's room temperature so it's not as delicious if the oil wasn't sizzling hot. The complimentary soup tastes a little saltier than the pho ga broth but that's what I typically experienced with other Vietnamese places. The service was very fast. They also speak Vietnamese, English, Cantonese and Mandarin. They got me practicing! Cash seems to be their preferred way of payment, so that might be an inconvenience for you. Cảm ơn nhiều! Thank you very much, I would recommend this again. read more

I NEVER order chicken pho ever... but had to since I knew it was their specialty... and couldn't believe how incredible the broth was. I've never had such a complex, aromatic broth. The chicken itself was a bit chewy.. but turned out to be a great meal. read more

*4.5* One of my top places for pho Ga. Quick and fast service, even if you come 30 minutes before closing. Friendly. Reasonable price as well for a large bowl. Fresh good chicken quality. Good light broth. Plenty of sauces on the side to use for the chicken. They also steam the bean sprouts Quantity for the large enough to make you full but just right. Banh cuon - also bomb here. Consistent and well wrapped with the right texture. Highly recommend Easy parking outside. Large seating amount inside. May or may not have lying or waitlis depending on when you come read more

I came in around 1:30pm on a weekday and the restaurant was still about 50% full. The parking lot is absolutely atrocious and would suggest parking on the street if you can so you don't get stuck like I did. It took a while to get someone's attention when I first walked in, but after they were speedy with coming to take my order and bringing everything out. I ordered a small pho ga and was surprised how quickly everything came out. Extra point for the COOKED bean sprouts so they don't cool down my soup. They were generous with the noodle portions and chicken portions were just ok. I was surprised to see chicken came boneless (bones make it so much better!) and unfortunately the meat was too dry and tough. I thought everything was ok and got the craving for pho ga satisfied... until I was about 70% done and found two hairs floating in my bowl. I was a little grossed out, but already finished majority of it so nothing I could've done then. You pay up at the register and it's cash only. read more

Probably the best bowl of chicken pho (pho ga) that you will have in your time of living in LA. I drive from Ktown which is about 15 miles away during lunch hour commuting rushes when I'm WFH just to eat here. The noodles, the soup, the garnish, the sauces for the chicken, everything about this place. Cash is recommended but they do take Venmo and Zelle I believe. Parking lot is pretty big but it can fill up, if you're coming at an odd hour it should be empty though. read more

Simple yet delicious! Fresh noodle with poach chicken just hits the spot when you want something good!

Visited first time due to yelp says open at 9am which was convenient for me to go have breakfast and run an errand. Overall, the chicken pho ga was not be bad chicken really tender with all you can eat ginger sauce. I chose the bone one not shredded chicken. The soup was OK nothing to brag about and then the banh cuon was ok I still like bmc better. The iced coffee was very good even though cup is small just the way I like it a bit black and bitter not too sweet. Price is decent large soup under $15 for both dish same price for the large beef pho which I purchased for my dad. Both dishes had a normal portion, but I think it's only a dollar or less difference so no reason to pay for the small. Overall, good service will come again if I need a quick chicken pho 9am which not a lot of places are open. read more

We ordered two large bowls of rice noodles and a whole chicken Togo , and everything was really satisfying. The chicken soup was rich, fragrant, and naturally sweet -- you can really taste the depth in the broth. The rice noodles were perfectly chewy and springy, easily one of the best I've had. The chicken itself had a beautiful golden skin with that nice "chicken oil" aroma, though I found the seasoning a little on the light side and the breast meat a bit tough. Still, the flavors were spot on and it's the kind of meal that makes you want to come back. I normally don't eat pho-style noodles often, but here it's definitely a must-try. I'll be returning for sure! read more

Good and very friendly service. The Banh Cuon was good and so was the mung bean & Pandan drink. The bun cha Hanoi was average since they probably did not have a charcoal grill and the meat was probably pre-cooked abd a bit tough. Overall a nice place that I will return to so that other dishes can be tasted. read more

Looking for a solid chicken pho is easy in SGV... for a group of 8 we got seated right away and we had great service. We chose this place was because of the reviews on the softness of the rice noodle and chicken reviews. They have several options for noodle type and I thought that was cool! The broth is feels like home, chicken had a good amount of meat on it and not just bones, we also ordered the braised beef and half a chicken to share which were both great portions. We will be back on another trip to SGV. read more

Pho Ga Bac Ninh - Small Pho Ga with fresh rice noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I'm usually here to order take out to bring to my elderly mom. Service is quick and easy. They are cash only. They open early so that's also a plus. Aside from their specialized chicken pho, I have tried their bun cha ca soup. That's pretty good. Ordered their che ba mau, was not a fan of that. On occasion there would be yummy fresh mochi dessert for sale by the cash register. read more

I had better so I will not come back. For some reason, I like the bean sprout raw but here it is cooked.

Ordered for pick up today. This is my go to Banh Cuon and Pho Ga (chicken pho) place! I Iike how they have different sizes for the banh cuon. It's a great lunch/ dinner meal. They have online ordering : UberEATs and Yelp, or call in. They were super fast with preparing the order. Everything always tasted good and consistent. They have a good amount of seats, around 12-20 tables. It's right off the freeway, they have a parking lot or street parking. read more

I looked up Pho places in the area near me to try somewhere different than my usual favorite Pho spot. This one popped up. I chose this one in particular because they use real fresh chicken meat. I liked the fact that it had many people already eating there early in the morning. Prices are fairly reasonable. It's an a center, so easy to get to, was able to get a parking space right away. It's actually bigger inside than I thought. It is cash only. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The Pho was good. The broth wasn't as favorable as I like but very healthy tasting and they didn't give basil in my order to go. So next time I know to ask. I did like the egg rolls. And want to try their rare beef next time. I did like trying here for something new. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite places to get Pho Ga or their hainan chicken rice! I've been coming here since I was a kid so this place is definitely nostalgic for me. Can't go wrong with pho ga, their ginger sauce pairs perfectly with the chicken, sometimes I like to add it to my broth as well. The hainan chicken rice is also delicious, the rice has that chicken flavor to it and it comes with the classic scallion sauce for dipping your chicken but I like to use the ginger sauce as well for my chicken. The soup that comes on the side is tasty. service is decently good! The restaurant has that old 2010s charm to me and I love that. Would definitely recommend getting their chicken pho or hainan chicken rice. read more

Really delicious and authentic chicken pho. The broth is clean and flavorful and it tastes close to homemade. I also enjoy their mien (glass noodles) that comes with woodear mushrooms. I also enjoy the hai Nam chicken that comes with a very fragrant ginger rice. I wish they had a white meat option or that their dark meat has more meat on it. It's a lot of bones and skin for the portion. While chicken is the focus here, they also have other dishes like bun rieu, banh cuon and bun cha Hanoi. Service is quick at first but fairly inattentive once food is brought to you. They are located in a strip mall with abundant and easy parking. Overall a solid old school spot. read more

Man this place is still terrible! I keep coming back cause my mother in law likes their banh cuon! I came to do a pick up, and your person in the front was gathering the to-go orders. Tell me, while I standing there trying to be respectful and not up your face, you go help someone else who wasn't standing in line. Then you proceed to look at me like I was a bother. Help find a better banh cuon beside Hay Ho. read more

This is a great spot to get chicken pho. Their soup tastes very authentic. Also their hainam chicken rice is a favorite of mine. Paired with their ginger sauce= delicious. You cant enjoy it without their sauce. Their banh cuon is fire! The noodles is soft and comes with a lot of filling. Must get their penny worth drink! So refreshing. It is a cash only place but they accept zelle. Decent parking. Service was very good. read more

When I say this, don't come for me. I already know everyone is going to have a heart attack buuuuuuut I don't really like pho. It's not my favorite. My friends wanted to come after work and I didn't feel like arguing so I went. I ordered the Woodear mushroom and chicken pho and it was delicious. The broth was really tasty. My favorite thing about this place is that they have all these little condiments on the side to add to your broth. Even though you don't need them I really enjoyed the different flavors. The service was great and the food came out quick. Overall great experience and I would definitely be back. read more

I will never come back. The chicken was undercooked, still bloody, and even had feathers -- both white and black ones. The flavor was mediocre at best. When we got the bill, they overcharged us by $23 for an extra noodle bowl and a drink we never ordered. Instead of apologizing, the lady (probably the owner) simply wrote a total number on a piece of paper -- no receipt, no explanation -- and still reminded us twice to leave a tip. No, there will be no tip for this kind of service. The attitude was condescending and greedy. I truly hope she realizes how many customers she'll lose treating people like this. read more

I was craving for Vietnamese food so I ordered some food for to go at Pho Ga Bac-Ninh. It's located on New Ave in Monterey Park. I've been to this place many times but their quality seems to be going down. We got the bun cha ca (fish cake noodle soup - small size $12.25) and bun cha gio thit nuong $13.25 (grilled pork, fried egg rolls, fresh herbs & veggies tossed with vermecelli). However, I'm disappointed by their grilled pork quality, they were very thin slices and so dry, it tasted like pork jerky but they were lack of flavor to me and even the color did not seem right. The fried egg rolls were not crispy as well. For the fish cake noodle soup, I didn't taste much tomato flavor as well. Price is reasonable and portion size are good but they need to improve the quality of the food. read more

After our hike, we were looking for a light meal and decided to try the pho ga at this Vietnamese restaurant. We arrived just in time to avoid the lunch rush and ordered the large bowl of pho ga. As we ate, the restaurant quickly filled up with people. The soup was clean-tasting and the chicken was flavorful, thanks to the delicious sauce. I usually enjoy chicken noodle soup, but this bowl of pho ga was something special. It was simple and comforting, just what we needed after the hike. This place is a lot more modern than their other location but I been to both and they food at both places tastes just as good! read more

Great place for pho ga. Broth is so deliciously chicken-y and clean. The large comes with so much noodles. Chicken is great with their fish and ginger scallion sauce. I believe all their chickens are free range. Got to also try their chicken and the broken rice plate that is soooo good. Service is super quick. They only take cash! The line gets pretty long on the weekends :D read more

Came here on Mother's Day lunch and it was reasonably crowded. They definitely specialize in Pho Ga (Chicken) and I'd say it's one of the better Pho Ga in the area. The broth has a really strong chicken flavor but also tasted pretty clean. This is what I tried. Pho Ga - This is the goto here hence by the name of the restaurant with tasty noodles and a flavorful broth. I think they use fresh chicken too since the meat is a bit more chewy than the ones from the grocery store. Solid (5/5). Bun Cha Hanoi - This was pretty good here but I've had better at other places. Overall still very flavorful and the meatballs were pretty good. (4/5) I would be back here for the Pho Ga and will be my goto since it's pretty local! read more

For a chicken pho place their broth was so tasteless and the chicken was very overcooked (hard, rubbery). I got the mien ga which is just replacing the classic pho noodles with glass noodles instead and it came all balled up. The banh cuon was more flavorful but the rice roll had too much filling and the viet ham given was very skimmy. At least they had a parking lot with decent spots read more

I was feeling a little under the weather and my girlfriend wanted to have some pho so we stopped by. I had the chicken soup, which I would not recommend. I've never in my life have eaten rubbery chicken. But if I ever get my jaw broken, I'm more than glad to order it next time. My girl's pho, on the other hand, was amazingly good! That totally made me regret not having it. I'll definitely try it next time if I go back. The waitresses were cool, but the language barrier totally complicates things. The French style Vietnamese coffee was not as sweet as I like it. I added water to it, and it was still strong. At least the prices were decent. read more

What happened to your chicken!!! I used to LOVE this place and I still do for their chicken broth but their pho ha chicken is so tough now. I liked this place so much that I keep coming back hoping they fixed their chicken :(. The last 4 times the chicken is so tough in the pho ga that there's no way to even swallow it. Please please please find out why and fix it. I loved this place read more

Sunday lunch time. Very busy. Line around the block but it moved relatively quickly. 10 tables in front of me and took about 20 minutes to get in. Service is prompt and friendly for a restaurant in the area. Parking lot is small and filled up quick and was able to find a spot right in the front. They had strong AC was a warm summer day. Took my order very quickly as I already knew what I wanted. Food came quickly within 5 min. The chicken wow heavenly. Everything here is fresh and high quality. The rice noodles so fresh prob made in the morning the chicken so juicy and flavorful. The soup I was actually ok on I would prefer more chicken taste esp that good chicken fat. Ordered large chicken pho and they are very generous with the chicken. This place is awesome. Looks like they've raised their price several times in the last year. Seems normal and a deal compared to other spots. Those who are giving less than 4 stars not sure what they are thinking. Come here and get your belly fill read more

Pho is life. When I crave phở gà, this is where I go. The bowl is full of fresh noodles, a fragrant broth and the temperature is ALWAYS on point. I like my chicken bone-in and on the side but you can get shredded if you prefer. Don't forget to dip or drizzle every bite with the sweet and tangy ginger fish sauce. (Not pictured but def try rice rolls as an app or even your main, they're yummy) read more

First time ordering from Pho Ga Ninh and I was extremely satisfied with my order. I was recovering from a stomach flu, I ordered the Pho Ga (with chicken) and this bowl really hot the spot for me. The chicken broth was just what I needed, it was perfect. The chicken was a tad bit dry to my liking so next time, I'll just order the soup + noodle option. This spot is definitely worth trying. read more

I was hoping to get some delicious Pho Ga to bring home to my daughter and husband getting over a nasty stomach bug. Sadly the chicken was rubbery and the broth wasn't too appealing. The egg rolls were just "ok" and not crispy at all. All the raving reviews made all of us excited for some local Pho Ga, but sadly this place did not hit the spot. Maybe it was a bad batch? Idk. If I ever decide to come back I may update my review, but right now I am throwing away $40.00 worth of food. read more
