    My go to place for chicken pho and chicken rice. I usually get boneless chicken with dark meat.

    #9 Pho Ga (L) $13.99
    Erik G.

    What We Ordered: -#9 Pho Ga (L) $13.99 -#12 Pho Nam (L) $13.99 My wife wanted pho, so we decided to try Pho Ga District since it was close by and my friend Cindy S. gave it a good review. Parking was a bit tough in the strip mall, but we found a spot on the side street. The restaurant was busy for a weekday lunch, but we were seated right away. I ordered the Pho Ga, but I wasn't impressed with the bone-in chicken; it was soft and rubbery, almost undercooked. The staff was friendly and helpful though. My wife ordered the #12 Pho Nam, and she loved the tender and flavorful beef. While we didn't enjoy the Pho Ga, we would definitely return for the Pho Nam. I'm still on the hunt for the best pho in the SGV! Hit me up with recommendations!

    Was craving some pho, so ate here with my wife recently. I prefer beef pho so I didn't get the Pho Ga (but my wife did). Overall, the Pho was great, and so was the service. Great Broth. The ambiance is no thrills, but totally fine for a pho place in the SGV. Note: Smaller parking lot in a shared plaza. We had to park a little outside the plaza

    Steamed Rice Rolls

    We came to Pho Ga District on a Friday evening and found parking easily in the plaza. The restaurant wasn't too busy, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We tried the Gai Du Du Cho Bo (green papaya & beef salad) and the Banh Cuon (steamed rice rolls with shrimp). The salad had a slightly sweet dressing but overall a nice balance of flavors. The rice rolls were a bit watery and fell apart easily, but still enjoyable. A great spot to explore some lesser-known Vietnamese dishes -- worth checking out if you're looking for something different.

    This place has the most pure, clean, clear chicken broth soup base I know of in a noodle restaurant, simple but flavorful. Clear broth, chicken on the bone (or boneless breast cuts, your choice) and rice noodles. No frills homestyle flavor. They have a small menu centered mostly around their chicken, you can order it whole or half with noodles on the side, or a standard bowl of chicken pho ga. Hainan style chicken rice and some Vietnamese mainstays such as egg rolls, beef pho, and bun cuon round out their menu. The staff is attentive and always refilling drinks, adding condiments, and cleaning. They don't do dinner service so check their hours before going and parking is tight as it is a small shared lot with other businesses but worth the visit.

    One of the best chicken pho in the SGV! The broth was very rich, almost tasted like drinking a clean rotisserie chicken. It was hearty without making you feel too heavy. They were very generous with bean sports... that were boiled! Can always appreciate when the bean sprouts are cooked. It's a casual mom and pop shop with quick service for a nice and affordable lunch. Came for lunch on Saturday at 11:30 and got seated right away. By 12pm, the restaurant was packed and there was a waitlist starting.

    Hainan chicken
    Nina W.

    Five stars for the chicken! It's a really small place, very friendly service and food was quick to come out. I got the chicken broth soup and my dad got the Hainan chicken rice. Both were delicious, highly recommend it. Please note the Hainan chicken is cold tho. Prices are average but parking is horrible. You can try to park on the street if the lot is full but it is a dead end narrow street. Not the best place for a meet up with friends due to limited space but amazing for a quick and comforting bite.

    Bahn cuon
    Eileen F.

    A little hole in the wall place that gets quite busy on the weekends. I came for the bahn cuon surprisingly, and it did not disappoint! My husband ordered a hai nan chicken that came with a delicious chicken broth, and I see why their main star here is the chicken. The chicken was juicy, tender, and that side broth had so much natural chicken flavor it was insane! I will definitely return to try their namesake dish.

    Pho Ga

    Came here right at 10am when they opened on a Wednesday, and I was surprised that there was a good bit of people in here. It's not a large restaurant at all, and as people have mentioned parking is very limited. I ordered the Pho Ga as well as the Banh Cuon, The Pho came out very quickly and it wasn't the biggest bowl I thought it was fair. I normally don't eat pho ga but beef pho or pho tai (which they also have). However, instantly very impressed as it was super clean broth with a great chicken flavor. They allow you to get boneless or bone in chicken I opted for boneless. Banh cuon was pretty good. My mom gave it a 8.5/10. Overall, great experience the servers were really nice could speak English and Cantonese.

    Pho ga boneless with fresh (wider) noodles, really fantastic broth!
    Jonathan W.

    This is certainly the best pho ga option in the SGV: very friendly staff (that can speak Cantonese and Mandarin in addition to English and Vietnamese), the broth is very comforting, and the sauces to dip the chicken are the perfect accompaniment. I only wish there was a congee option on the menu!

    I've passed by this restaurant a few times before but never dined here until last night. Service: We were seated right away and given some cups of water. I also noticed the waiters all stand by the cashier area so it's very easy to get their attention. Food: We ordered a half chicken, a large plain noodle soup, a banh cuon, and egg rolls. The chicken and noodle soup came out so fast. I like how they have sauces on the table so you can help yourself. I was not a fan of how they chopped the chicken because some pieces of bones were so tiny that I almost accidentally swallowed. The noodle soup was so good though. I can see myself finishing a whole bowl in the winter. I wasn't a fan of the banh cuon but my fiancé really liked it. The egg rolls were so hot and crispy. It actually came out last so we were busy eating everything else before we started eating them but they were still very very hot. Parking: They share a small parking lot with the other stores in the strip mall. A lot of the parking spaces are reserved for other stores. Also the parking spots are tight. Overall a very decent pho ga restaurant. I will definitely be back.

    Decent chicken pho. My family loves their steamed whole chicken that we like to get to-go. The steamed chicken's meat is a tougher texture and it reminds my family of the chicken back in Cambodia because the chickens here in America are more plump but have a softer texture.

    Large pho ga, boneless chicken, medium wide rice noodles
    Vivian L.

    Best pho ga near me so far. Service is quick and friendly. Pho ga was perfectly done. I really enjoy the medium wide rice noodles. It's soft and slurpy. I like their sauces on the side to dip my chicken or to spruce up my broth. My favorite was ginger with the spicy soy. Simple and comforting of a meal. Pho ga is not as heavy as beef pho, but in a good way~ much lighter and clean tasting Lastly, my Thai tea was just filled with ice to the brim (like some places...) and not too sweet. It was perfect :) A pretty busy lunch spot, but tables move quickly. Support this small shop if you're a fan of chicken pho!

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

    I wasn't expecting a single beef rib to be this impressive. The first thing that caught my…read moreattention was the size. It looked like something straight out of a food show. Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food. Definitely the most memorable thing I ordered at Good Alley, and I would come back just for this beef rib.

It's the kind of spot where even simple dishes feel satisfying and consistent, and nothing felt like a miss. Love their XLBs! The restaurant was also noticeably clean, including the bathroom, which was well maintained and better than expected. There is however a long wait, me and my friend ended up waiting an hour one time, and 1.5 hour another time. Parking can be a bit limited during peak meal hours since the plaza has a lot of other popular eateries, so it might take a little patience to find a spot if you come during rush time. Outside of that, it's manageable. Service was friendly and efficient even when it was busy, and the overall vibe was welcoming.

The Peking duck lived up to the hype. I liked that they use pancakes instead of the buns, and building each bite with hoisin, green onion, cucumber, duck meat, and crispy skin gave a great mix of textures and flavors. The other dishes were solid too. The pea sprouts were fresh and loaded with garlicky flavor without being overpowering. The shrimp fried rice was probably one of the best value dishes we ordered at around $13 -- lots of shrimp mixed throughout and a great filler for the table. The honey walnut shrimp was unique because it came with melon, which added a refreshing touch. The shrimp itself was super crispy and I appreciated that it wasn't drowning in sauce or overly sweet. The French style beef was another standout -- packed with fresh peppers and the meat was incredibly tender. Overall, you really can't go wrong ordering here.

The sweet and sour pork was unfortunately a disaster. The pork was sliced paper-thin--so thin that it felt like I was mostly eating batter with barely any meat. I was also disappointed they took the sweet and sour fish off the menu because that dish was amazing a few months ago. The five-color noodles were light, clean, and refreshing. The pork elbow was delicious with a fun, tender texture. The fish maw soup was very good and comforting, though it could have used a little more seasoning. Other than that, it was delicious. The steamed sea bass with soy sauce was incredibly soft and fragrant--a definite must-order. The scallops with vermicelli noodles were another hit: fresh, clean flavors and perfectly cooked scallops. My only suggestion would be to cut the noodles, as they came in one big clump and were difficult to serve. We ordered the beef fried rice but were given lamb instead. It was a bit gamier than expected, but still tasty. The black fungus with tofu was also excellent--well seasoned and full of flavor. Overall, there were a few misses, but the Peking duck, sea bass, scallops, pork elbow, and black fungus with tofu made the meal worth coming back for.

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!
