New spot that opened up in the former Marie Callendar space alongside other restaurants. Good flavored Vietnamese food in a simple designed interior. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon. The Banh Mi had the right crisp on the bread, though could've used more meat for the price paid (something of a pattern). The Pho had a nice rich broth but certainly lacking in size and meat portions for the price paid and compared to other places around SoCal. I got the large and I'd hate to see how small the regular would be. The cubed filet was cooked tender, right amount of sauce, and had a good flavor profile. But again, needed more meat to justify the price. Service was prompt though basic, nothing special and polite enough. Could be worth another visit but some deals or a price cut/portion increase would be needed.
Really love that there's finally a good Vietnamese restaurant in the Torrance area!! I've tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Torrance and none of them are good and authentic like this. The restaurant is very new, very clean and beautiful! The food is so delicious so fresh! They have a location in Orange County that also tastes so amazing! I ordered B6 vermicelli noodles with extra veggies and less noodles, it did not disappoint. The veggies were extra fresh. If you love egg rolls, I would definitely recommend ordering the appetizer size because their egg rolls are really good! This is a good location as they are right next to other really good restaurants. If you're craving a treat after dinner, you can walk across to yogurtland!
We came here for Vietnamese food. My bf got the Bun Bo Hue and I got the garlic noodles with shaken beef. The Bun Bo Hue came with the blood sausage, so that felt more authentic. Overall, it's an okay BBH dish. Doesn't have as strong of a flavor as I would have liked, such as that lemon grass flavor. But this BBH is probably better than some of the other BBH we had in South Bay. The garlic noodles with shaken beef was quite greasy and the beef was chewy. Although these two dishes were just okay, I would probably come back to try their other dishes. Service was quick. Staff was friendly. The restaurant had a simple modern decor.
All of the food was great! The only complaint is I wish there was more meat in the pho considering the price. Compared to other places I've been, this was the least amount of meat. Otherwise, great flavors and would go back.
I went to Pho Hue Oi on a random Wednesday. It was busy, with a steady stream of customers. I really liked the noodles and spring rolls and crispy egg rolls that we got. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portion sizes were pretty good. My mom actually likes that noodle place better than other recent spots we've been to that are more highly rated on Yelp (#iykyk) if you know, you know. There are many parking spots around there. And afterwards, there are dessert places and other shops that you can go to for after eats. Enjoy.
I've been here close to a dozen times (I don't keep exact count), and true to form, I usually order the same thing: pho #1 plus an appetizer (either the fresh rolls or the pork egg rolls.) Across all those visits, my experience consistently lands at a solid four stars, and I'm happy to recommend this spot. The food is reliably good, and the service is friendly and responsive, which makes it easy to overlook occasional wait times or how close the tables are to each other. Parking has always worked out for me. I've never had trouble finding a spot. Sometimes this is the only place I'll go on a weekend, making the trip just to get pho. Definitely recommend.
I went to their newest location in Torrance! I love this place. Probably my favorite pho place. I used to go to the one on redondo beach, but this location is way closer to me. They have a booth where you can eat solo, and a bunch of tables inside. They have this special appetizer called the Banh Beo Chen. It's like mochi rice, topped with ground shrimp, crispy pork rinds and green onion. It's super tasty. I never had it any where else! They also have Bun Bo Hue which is a noodle with beef tender shank, pork hock, meat balls, and cooked blood pudding. All of these dishes I never really find in other pho shops. Their regular pho is amazing, but I do love the options of authentic vietnamese dishes offered here. I didn't get it this time but they have a lot of delicious flavored drinks as well. Totally worth trying!
I tried Pho Hue Oi in Torrance and left feeling pretty neutral overall. I ordered the chicken pho and paid the extra $1.50 to upgrade to the "fresh" noodles, plus a pork banh mi to go. Coming from the 626, where pho standards are high, the food itself felt mediocre--flavor was fine but nothing memorable, portions were on the smaller side, and prices felt high for what you get. By the way, I wouldn't upgrade to the fresh noodles again. That said, the ordering counter was efficient. I waited at the counter bar for about 15 minutes and everything came out without issue. The biggest positive here is the space itself: clean, new, modern, and comfortable--definitely one of the nicer-looking pho spots. If I were judging purely on food, I probably wouldn't come back unless there were no other options nearby. The experience was fine, just not compelling enough to stand out given the price and portion size.
Celebrating a birthday tonight. Should have checked Yelp before driving here because you can join the waitlist before getting there. Oh well. I hope this helps others. Nice selection of food and drink. It was delicious as well. The place is very popular. Ok, bye.
It's pretty decent and affordable at Pho Hue Oi in Torrance, CA. The area is walkable to many other restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and more. Busy vibes inside. It appears to be packed with customers, especially at lunchtime even on weekdays. $13.95-$16.50 for a rice plate here. $5.50 can get you a good beverage too. We had the special combination rice plate and the regular grilled chicken rice plates. Both were actually huge in portion sizes, so they are generous here. Tasted good. Milk tea was in a tall cup. Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk was strong in a smaller cup at the same price. Server was definitely busy with hands full. Menu wasn't huge. You can pretty much decide what you want to eat by glancing once or twice. Everything looks very affordable here. You can't get these prices in the San Francisco Bay Area for Vietnamese local foods. Pho Hue Oi is your average and casual local spot, but they did decorate for the holidays. Good location with plenty of free parking nearby. This is a good spot if you are visiting Torrance or making a quick in town stop. Nothing fancy here. It's just a very simple restaurant business.
Ordered a pork banh mi and a side of pho broth To Go. Sandwich rating Taste 4/5 - Pork meat was well marinated Portion - Bread was a little smaller than expected. Pho broth 3/5 - Was pretty light and did the job. Cleanliness - 4/5 Did see some specks of soy sauce on the counter where I was sitting at. Output time - About 10 minutes Place has a versatile menu, but gets the job done when you don't want to drive all the way to OC or 626.
I think the food was good, they ran out of an ingredient in their spicy Pho, so went with a classic pho. For price and portion ratio didn't seem to add up.., I will be honest, i had a higher expectation since someone review this place so highly... Just another over priced Pho place, not special. Service was pretty good when they were pretty slammed due to the rain. Ambiance was nice, newer location.
I popped in on Saturday afternoon for lunch and quickly joined the Yelp waitlist. It seemed like everyone was getting seated quickly, so I waited inside. Seemed a little disorganized though because a random couple walked in while I was waiting and they got seated right away.. even though a server knew I was on the list for a table..? Eventually got seated and I ordered a bun bo hue. They ask to make sure you want the pork blood and hock, which I quickly said yes! I wish they gave more than one tiny block of pork blood, but at least the hock was meaty. The soup was not spicy and could've used a little more lemongrass flavor. It was just ok, got the job and craving done. Service was very slow even though they were very well staffed. Food took almost 20 minutes to come out and waters weren't brought out until food was. Looked like they were really prioritizing take out orders. Might come back if the bun bo hue craving strikes again, but might be worth it to just drive to OC..
One of my go-to spots for comfort food! I order post mates from here at least once or twice a week, for lunch or dinner.. and it has definitely become one of my favorites! One thing I especially love is that they offer egg noodles with their pho rather than just rice noodles. I'm a ramen girl, so I've always preferred egg noodles, and honestly, they are the perfect combination with pho! A few of my favorites here are the chicken wings and crispy egg rolls, both are so good and make the perfect additions to my order. Another thing I really appreciate is that the broth isn't overly oily compared to some other pho spots. As I get older, I've become much more mindful of what I'm putting into my body, so I really appreciate a flavorful broth that doesn't leave you feeling like you just had a bowl of oil. Lol! If you're a pho lover who prefers egg noodles over rice noodles, definitely give this place a try. It's become one of my regular go-to spots, and I always look forward to my next bowl! read more

A great place if you're in the area! Good parking, okay seating, it does get busy but they do have yelp waitlist so check before coming! This is a new location so its still very clean and well decorated! Service was fine, nothing extraordinary but not bad either. We did order a crispy pork belly banh mi but unfortunately they did come back to tell us they were out of crispy pork belly, so if you want that I suggest going earlier in the day! Food was good! The regular size is a bit small but I've been told that the large is a good portion. Broth was very flavorful and meat was also flavorful. Noodles were a bit soggy for my personal taste but it was still overall very good. read more

First time trying them out since they opened. The Nuoc Cham sauce (The mixed, ready-to-eat fish sauce dipping sauce) is so WEAK and has no flavor, which made the bun thit nuong- $15.50 (cold vermicelli salad) un desirable. The eggroll was not crunchy and they added a lot of black pepper in the seasoning. The lettuce was fresh but yet one tiny cup of the bland fish sauce could not even enhance any flavor on this dish. Just imagine having a salad with a little of olive oil and lemon wedge. BLAND AF! We also ordered the fillet mignon garlic noodles $20. Luckily I asked to cook with extra garlic or this dish would of been super bland. I didn't mind it because lots of garlic makes everything tastes good. The noodles were soggy. Hopefully it was just an off day.. I do appreciate the clean and trendy style of the restaurant. read more

Sunday around 1pm: nice clean, spacious seating observed at this restaurant. I like the paintings/artwork for an immersive experience even before ordering the food! I ordered B1. Bun Bo Hue Dac Biet. (See picture) I am not Vietnamese but the fact that it has "blood pudding" convinced me it's authentic or at least worth paying since it's uncommon to find that ingredient in the South Bay! The dish isn't too salty for me and I like the variety of meats served with a generous helping of cilantro . There are white round style noodles underneath. Portion was almost worth 2 meals to me! Staff was attentive - we had 2 kids so extra bowls and utensils were provided. I would definitely like to return and try their other items! read more

We had zero wait on a Monday evening at 6pm. I ordered the pho dac biet and it was delicious! The broth was so flavorful and rich, I didn't even have to add oyster sauce or sriracha. The employees also took our order as soon as we sat down. The spring rolls were also delicious. Highly recommend! read more

got the pho with filet mignon, grilled pork banh mi, and the rocket shrimp egg rolls. the banh mi was the best thing we ordered. the marinated pork was super flavorful and there was a good amount of it too. perfect amount of cilantro too. the radish and carrot were not very good though since they weren't pickled at all.. pho was MID, the broth was clean but lacked a lot of depth and flavor compared to most pho places. definitely will not be getting it again, especially since the small size is ~$16 the rocket shrimp was alright. the shrimp were not deveined, and they put a large chunk of green onion in it that makes it difficult to bite the egg roll in half. sauce it came with was good. read more
A solid experience at Pho Hue Oi in Torrance, CA. I ordered the eggrolls and pho dac biet (combination pho) which came with several different types of beef including meatball and brisket. The broth of the pho was quite clear yet flavorful. The noodles had a good texture but unfortunately had a bit of a synthetic taste to them which could happen occasionally when quickly blanched. Overall, service was fast and friendly. Would certainly recommend this place, especially considering the dearth of Viet restaurants in Torrance! read more
We are fans of the Redondo location closer to Lawndale. This new larger location has more of a restaurant feel whereas the other location is more of a casual cafe. Service has been helpful both times we've been here with great recommendations. The menu has a few new additions since it's opened so ask your server. There are a few less common dishes at Vietnamese restaurants like the Banh Beo Chen, mini rice cakes which I love. Parking in the lot and ADA accessible with the wheelchair ramp at the corner location. read more
Came here for quick company lunch and we all liked this place. Egg rolls were flavorful and crispy. I ordered filet mignon pho and i really liked how tender the beef were. Flavorful soup broth, not greasy at all. Phone noodles were perfectly cooked. We all enjoyed the modern and clean designed inside the restaurant and quick service by those friendly staffs. Will be back again later tonight read more

Pretty solid place for Viet food. I've had the pho and banh mi and thought they were good. The banh mi has a lot of filling which is nice. The broth for the pho was nice and savory. I had the com dac biet which was also good. It had the usual meats with pork chops, shredded pork, and egg quiche. It was a decent portion. The staff was nice and attentive. The decor is very inviting. It wasn't too busy for lunch so the noise level was surprisingly quiet. read more

The pho was interesting... it didn't match my taste very well. The broth isn't very rich and was quite oily. The meat quality was average for a pho place and the vegetable toppings were a little lacking. The grilled pork banmi is good. Nothing to complain about but also nothing to write home about. The seating is modern and sleek. There is plenty of seating and it's a great place to share a meal. The service is fast and receptive. The main caveat is the fact that the food is not great but this is a great restaurant. read more
Ordered it through Yelp. Order was ready. I would not say it's the best pho out there. There's something missing on the soup. The restaurant inside is very nice. my order was. to go. It served its purpose, got lunch , ate it and that's about it. The taste of food was underwhelming. read more
New location! My friend recommended me this place. Although she recommended this restaurant, it was at the different location in Torrance, not this specific location. I live across the street and I recall a Taiko drum celebration on the grand opening of this restaurant. (I think it was for this restaurant, I was at a distance). This place serves pho, banh mi, noodles, lots of sides, vietnamese coffee, and boba. I got the large Pho Tai Filet Mignon ($16.95). The bowl was good size and it was very delicious. It was very flavorful and I don't think it can get any better. Server was good. She came to our table once to offer refill on water and asked if everything was good. Not all restaurant comes around asking for refill on water but this place does. This restaurant shares parking space with other good restaurants. Might have to park in the back. I'm definitely excited to try out their banh mi. read more
Quick service. Seems popular. Spendy but it is Cali. Crunchy egg rolls. Good size bowl of pho. Plenty of meat to noodles ratio. Actual broth was good. Have had better in the area. Soo much Asian /Viet restaurants to choose from in this area. This was recommended so we tried it. Ambiance is cute, more modern, larger group would be hard to accommodate. Happy eating! read more

As a first timer, I was very impressed with the food I had. I ordered the crispy pork belly bahn mi, spring rolls, and my husband got the P1 and an iced coffee. The pork belly was very crispy and the bread was soft and fresh. The spring rolls were light and flavorful as an appetizer. I tried my husband's pho and it definitely hit the spot for a rainy day. Service was quick and ambiance was casual. We joined the waitlist and was 10th in line but waited only about 10 mins. The line moved pretty fast. I highly recommend trying this spot out if you're in the Torrance area. There's plenty of parking in this plaza. read more
Torrance does not have many Vietnamese restaurants. I'm not expecting to be mind blow by Vietnamese restaurants in South Bay. This restaurant is new so wait or pick up your order is a wait. If the pick up order time it 20 minutes, please expect 40 minutes. I tell you this as a warning if it's a cold raining night, you have hungry kids or hangry husband. I did take home filet mignon and my husband actually was impressed how tender the meat was. The banh mi was perfect with soft fresh bread. My kids enjoyed the plain pho. So overall I will actually go back for take out! It is pretty popular so looks like the wait in restaurant will be difficult for my kids, so I'll wait a few months. read more

I tried a new dish because I always order bun I love the vegetables with the cold noodles. This time I ordered the rib eye rice plate and hubby ordered the fried shrimp rolls. The rib eye were thinly sliced marinated strips. Flavor was good but I would have preferred plain grilled meat so I wish that would have been mentioned on the menu. Shrimp was okay. Service was good. Attentive staff. read more
