    *this review is just about the viet coffee* My guy wanted some viet coffee so we made a stop here. I'm super picky with my viet coffee, but I enjoyed the one from here. Not the best I've had, but I ended up drinking more of it than I had planned. I'm definitely not normally a coffee drinker. Would like to come back here to try the food sometime.

    Pho Hut is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Glendale. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Their pho is outstanding--the broth is rich, comforting, and easily some of the best I've had. The nem (Vietnamese spring rolls) are also delicious and a must-try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What makes this place even more special is the owner, who always makes us feel at home with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is friendly and genuine, which keeps us coming back. Their rice combo plates are fantastic, especially the pork chop, which is perfectly seasoned and cooked. I also highly recommend the vermicelli dishes--they are flavorful, generous, and satisfying. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Glendale, Pho Hut is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

    Genuinely the best pho place I've been to. I've been to so many in different states and countries and I still come back to this one every time. The people there are soooo sweet and the pho is to die for. I've probably been here at least once a week for a couple months now. :)

    A quiet, wood-paneled dining room featuring simple tables and a striking floral wall cutout with vibrant yellow flowers.

    The Original: Why Pho Hut is the Only Heart You Need in Glendale ------ A good bowl of pho will always make me happy, take me to that special place where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts." Anthony Bourdain was right, of course. It's a special kind of magic. But you don't find that special place in a sterile, centrally-kitchened, corporate-optimized noodle factory. You find it in places with grit. Places with heart. You find it behind an unassuming glass storefront on the boulevard, under a simple green sign. In Glendale, that place is, without question, Pho Hut. The First and the Few // They aren't newcomers riding a trend. Pho Hut is the O.G.--the original pho spot in Glendale, holding it down since 2007. They are specialized practitioners, not generalists trying to please everyone. When you speak to the owner, you immediately understand the philosophy that drives the place: "There is no bad food--only food made with or without heart." His mission is beautiful and simple: use this food to educate the community on what real Vietnamese cuisine is supposed to taste like. The Vibe and the Fuel // [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is exactly what it needs to be: clean, simple, and functional. Wood-paneled wainscoting, hanging industrial-style lamps, and a few canvases of fishermen casting nets at sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a dining room built for eating, not for Instagram. Before the main event, you get your mind right with a deeply roasted, unforgivingly strong, and beautifully sweet Vietnamese iced coffee. It's a pulse-quickening caffeine hit that wakes up the palate and sets the stage for the heavy lifting to come. The Daily Labor of Love // While the big chains are busy maximizing efficiency with pre-made, industrialized broths shipped in plastic bags from a central facility, Pho Hut is engaged in a daily labor of love. They make everything from scratch. Every broth is created daily, simmering and developing over 20 hours. It is a painstaking, exhausting process, but you cannot fake that depth. It isn't optimized for profit; it's optimized for taste. The Specialist's Table // If you want the titans of texture and flavor, this is your table. We're talking pho with melt-in-your-mouth Filet Mignon and massive, rich Beef Ribs that make standard cuts look pale in comparison. The tripe and tendons are masters of their craft--tender, yielding, yet still retaining that necessary, authentic bite. But the absolute hidden gem of Glendale? The Oxtail. If you know, you know. It is rich, cartilaginous, and deep--a treasure buried at the heart of the original spot. The Ritual // There is a beautiful, necessary ritual when the steaming bowl finally hits the table. The tabletop battle station is already prepped: Sriracha, Lee Kum Kee Hoisin, and chili paste standing at attention. The process is critical. You take that side plate of vibrant, fresh herbs and plunge every single basil leaf and crisp bean sprout deep into the hot broth. You aggressively squeeze the citrus and drop the spent hull right in for that sharp, acidic punch. The jalapeños? Those are eaten separately on the side--a necessary, raw heat that accompanies every complex bite of meat and noodle. The Verdict // The service here completes the experience. It has a personal touch that you rarely find anymore--it feels less like a transaction and more like a relative bringing you a bowl at a family gathering. If you are seeking a bowl that will truly take you to that special place Bourdain spoke of, skip the chains. Go to the original. Go to Pho Hut, watch them work, and eat a bowl made with a damn heart.

    I usually do build your own. I like both chicken and beef broth so it doesn't really matter which one. I order it with broccoli, tendon, and flank. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is clean and the service is good and there is always a place to sit down, even on busy days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I drove for a few seconds around the corner and parked on the street and walked over to the Verdugo Dairy lot which is where the Nickos Sandwich Truck is located. The truck is so cute and small and fits perfectly in the lot without taking up too much space. I looked at the menu and honestly all the sandwiches looked so good that it was hard to just choose one, but I wanted breakfast so I went with the Plain Breakfast Sandwich. I was asked how I want my egg cooked and I chose sunny side up. Options for cheese were swiss or provolone and I couldn't decide and I was able to get a slice of both on my sandwich! I also ordered a bread pudding on the side. After ordering I was given a little buzzer that would go off when my food is ready. I hung out and didn't wait too long until my buzzer went off and it was a nice loud beeping that would be easy to hear if I had left it in my pocket. After the food is ready then you pay. When I went back to my car and I couldn't help myself I ripped open the bag and I was in awe of my sandwich. Look at my photos, do you see that melty stretch of cheese that is so perfect??????????? The brioche bun is soft and fluffy, the egg seasoned with salt and pepper perfectly and cooked to perfection, and the cheese is stretchy and gooey and so delicious. Was I licking the wrapper when I was done? Maybe! If I could give more than 5 stars for my sandwich I would! I love me a banana pudding and I thought I was going to wait to eat it at home, however I could not control myself I popped it open and I gobbled it down. So creamy and delicious with just the right amount of crumbled nilla wafers. I am not in Glendale too often, but you can bet that when I am, I'll be stopping by again!

The parking lot is small but serviceable because customers don't tend to remain in the store for long, so turnover is fairly regular.
