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

    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 // 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. 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. The store is clean and the service is good and there is always a place to sit down, even on busy days.

    Two lime ‍

    If you we want yo have a bad experience go to this restaurant We visited a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Hut in Glendale, California, hoping to find an authentic local Vietnamese spot, especially since my husband and I love Vietnamese soups. We ordered the largest soups for ourselves and a friend and everything was ordered politely and respectfully.When the soups arrived, we were given only two very small slices of lime and part of another small piece, which was clearly not enough for three large bowls of soup. So we calmly asked for some extra lime. Instead of a normal response, the waiter, a man who always wears fake luxury brand clothing, brought two large plates filled with cut limes, far more than what we asked for or needed. What shocked us was not the amount, but his behavior. He aggressively pushed the plates toward the table, almost slamming them down, in a very rude and hostile way.We were all stunned. We looked at each other, confused, wondering what just happened and why he reacted like that. It was extremely uncomfortable and honestly a behavior I have never experienced anywhere else in my life. Neither my husband nor our friends had ever seen anything like it. We had done nothing disrespectful, said nothing rude, and simply made a normal request.I later asked another staff member, a female waitress, if everything was okay with him. She replied, "Don't mind him," which made it clear that this behavior is known there. That made the situation even more upsetting. We live in the United States, and basic customer service and respect should not be optional. We did not go there expecting free food. We went as paying customers, treated the staff politely, and even left a full tip despite the way we were treated, simply because we believe in proper manners and respect.Unfortunately, this was not a one time experience. When we went there again, the same waiter behaved in a similarly rude and disrespectful way. I believe he is an employee, but I truly do not know who hired him, what qualifications they saw in him, or whether he is a family member or even the owner. I honestly hope he is not the owner, because the way he treated us was unacceptable.There are many Vietnamese restaurants out there, and we have had wonderful experiences at other places where we were treated with kindness and respect. Poor service like this only hurts the restaurant in the long run. I hope that if the manager or owner reads this, they take this seriously and make sure no other customers have to go through such an unpleasant experience. We will not be returning, but I genuinely hope others are spared from having the same experience. If I could, I would give this place a zero star sadly we don't have that option

    Great pho spot on Brand in Glendale. The ambiance itself is a typical pho place, no frills. The crispy egg rolls were fresh and delicious. I had the seafood pho and my friend had brisket and steak pho. The regular portions were a good size. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I usually prefer, but with some Sricha sauce, it was nice and flavorful. Service was super quick and friendly.

    We've been here a couple of times since my daughter loves pho. We usually get the Pho Hut special, egg rolls, and spring rolls plus milk tea. Food is flavorful even the condiments (peanut sauce and vinegar for the rolls). Service is fast too. We really like it when the soup is served hot! Price is reasonable and portioning is just right.

    Ordered the Salad Rolls and Steak Bahn Mi on the cashiers suggestion for about $20. The spring rolls were big and packed full of tofu, but it was almost entirely shredded lettuce which was disappointing. Bahn Mi had a good flavor and had a lot of gristle. I ordered to go and it took a while for it to come out, but the restaurant was quiet and had the original Sonic Cartoon playing so it was a nice wait.

    Didn't know they opened a second location! And in Glendale no less! We came here after the zoo. We were all feeling sick and pho always hits the spot. This new location is on a busy street where even on Sundays you have to pay. We got there around 11:30ish and it wasn't too busy but there were a few patrons there. It took a little bit to get our waters and order taken. My hubby got the special and I got the rare steak pho and extra noodles for my daughter. We have been ordering pho to go so I was pleasantly surprised when they brought out a small bowl of noodles and soup for her. All was delicious and this was as good as the other location!

    i wanted to find a new pho spot for myself and after reading the positive reviews i am so glad I decided to come and give this place a try! the ambiance is chill and comforting. i was able to sit at any seat i wanted, the music was calming.. not so loud, & the service was efficient. the gentleman who took my order was very nice. i ordered myself the pho chicken with vegetables. they also give you garnishes you can add in your pho as well. the pho was absolutely delicious and fulfilling. the chicken broth had some flavor before i added my own sauces. the chicken was good and their vegetables were fresh veggies. i like that the broccoli weren't in giant sizes but cut up into bite sizes. as for my drink, i tried their Thai tea and it was really good and creamy! i really liked this place and I'll most definitely be coming back the next time im craving pho!

    Beyond words of how amazing this place is. Best Pho and a weekly must go spot for my family and I. Staff is friendly, doesn't speak English but always smiling to you. Food quality, portions and taste are beyond amazing!

As soon as we were seated, I asked if I could place our order while we waited for the rest of our party, since I already knew what we wanted. The server said no--we had to wait until everyone arrived. Fair enough. Our friends arrived about five minutes later, but it still took about 15 minutes before anyone came over to take our order. The restaurant is small, and there were only about three other tables with customers, all of which were already eating. Thirty minutes after ordering, we still hadn't received a single item. My friend suspected they were fulfilling online orders first, so I went up to ask how much longer it would be. The response: another 30 minutes. At that point, after already waiting 45 minutes, we decided to leave. If the kitchen was that backed up, why not let us know? Why refuse to take the order when I first asked? Or at least warn us that the wait would be over 45 minutes? The food is good, but not worth that level of disregard for customers who are physically sitting in the restaurant. My friend later told me she's had issues with their customer service in the past as well. This was very disappointing, and we'll be choosing other ramen places from now on. It really seems like they're understaffed for the amount of dine-in and online orders they're trying to handle. Another person in the kitchen might make a huge difference.

My boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to Korean food for dinner and typically we would go to Jincook, but I wanted to try something different. I found K-Street on Yelp and wanted to give it a try. There's plenty of parking in a safe parking garage which is nice! We arrived to the restaurant at around 8pm? Upon walking in we saw that they have a B rating so my boyfriend was a bit weary of eating there. Upon walking in, it was completely empty-- understandable because it was a Wednesday night. The server was a super nice woman who gave us recommendations and explained things I needed clarification for. The restaurant was cute, had street signs for streets in Korea and a huge projector that screened music videos on the wall. I'm sure the place is usually poppin' on nights when it's busy! It was really quiet because we were the only ones there but the music was a nice addition to break the silence. My boyfriend ordered the Bulgogi Dolsot, which is bulgogi with rice in a hot stone. He said the bulgogi had great flavors and the crispy rice was his favorite! The bulgogi wasn't fatty or too tough, he loved that they didn't skimp on the meat. I ordered the Hot Pot Bulgogi, it was a soup with bulgogi, some rice cakes, and some noodles. It was served with rice, but I skipped on eating the rice. The soup to me was a bit too salty! It had great umami flavor and depth to the rich flavor but I needed lemon or vinegar to break up the saltiness. The bulgogi in the soup was nice and tender, I ate basically all of the bulgogi. The rice cakes were nice and chewy, and the noodles made it feel like a complete meal. Was it worth $22? Not to me, for what it was I think it should've been around $15. The also gave us complementary banchan, but it wasn't the best. I understand we were only two people and they were bottomless, but 4 small pieces of pickled radish and 2 bites of kimchi? I could've easily eaten 5 plates of each but I didn't want the server constantly coming back to bring us more. Again, we were the only ones there so I didn't want to feel like a burden. Would I come back here again? Unfortunately not. My first impression at K-Street wasn't the best and there are plenty Korean restaurants that I personally like!
