Stop by here for lunch before heading over to the bowling place next door. Lots of parking here. This is a small restaurant with a few tables. Ambiance was ok, nothing to brag about. Ordered the Chicken Curry with Rice and the Steam Rolls with Pork and Mushroom. Loved the Steam Rolls. It was very satisfying. Didn't like the Chicken Curry too much. It was alright. Saw they have Bun Bo Hue on their menu. Will have to try that next time as well as their Pho. read more

Free plaza parking. I noticed that when I was paying, the prices did not reflect the prices listed on the menu so when I asked about the discrepancy, I was told they did not have a chance to update their menu. So just fyi the prices on menu are incorrect. Not a big deal but I like to know before I order. This place is a literal hole in the wall. The food is good and comes out quickly, but the restaurant itself is very old and not updated. They still use Styrofoam boxes for to go orders. In fact, my food was hot and melted through the Styrofoam and leaked onto my pants while I was eating. Not ideal since the food involved fish sauce. I ordered banh cuon, it was delicious but hot and burned the the styrofoam. Be prepared to pay cash or an extra 4% fee with credit card transactions. Overall prices are still decent and food tastes delicious. read more

Their chicken Pho is very good and reasonably priced. Service was good and staff was very friendly.

I ordered Bun to-go and they 86'd on the egg rolls so, they just gave me a bunch of beef. Honestly, it wasn't that great. I've definitely had better. I ordered my food close to closing, so maybe that's why I didn't get what I expected? read more

Pho LTK - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

A pretty decent pho/Vietnamese restaurant. It was empty when we arrived on a weekday for dinner. The service was very friendly, and the staff spoke both Vietnamese and English. The menu is quite large, offering a little bit of everything. Here are the two items I tried: Bun Rieu - This was pretty decent. I liked the ground meatballs that came with it, and the flavors were good. There were tons of noodles--I couldn't finish a large portion. Reasonably priced. (4/5) Hainan Chicken Rice - This was also pretty decent. The chicken was fresh, and the rice was flavorful. The soup that came with it was tasty. Overall, a solid dish. (4/5) Overall, this is a good spot if you're looking for Vietnamese food. Prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. It also comes with iced tea! Note - They charge 4% extra for credit card payments, so bring cash. Parking - Large parking lot, so it's very easy to find a spot. read more

I was craving chicken pho since it was a chilly morning so I stopped by for early lunch. The restaurant is pretty small. They also had a large family dining when we arrived so most of the tables in the restaurant were used for that family. The staff quickly cleaned a small side table for us but unfortunately it was right by the door so every time the door opened, chilly wind would blow in. Service: The staff working were pretty friendly and accommodating. For some odd reason, they said they were out of stock for many menu items. We ordered half a chicken, a plain noodle, and some steamed rolls. Food took a LONG time to come out. It was also pretty strange that our noodles came out last. We were halfway done with the chicken before the noodles came out. Food: I really enjoyed the noodles and the chicken. The broth from the noodles was very rich in flavor. But I think the highlight was the chicken. The chicken was so tender! It was a little on the bland side but nothing a little sauce can't fix. Overall not a bad first time dining here. I think I will definitely be back to try them again and hopefully not catch them during their busy time. read more

I used to order Pho ga from this place because it was pretty decent. Small mom and pop place. This time I came by with a couple friends and just wanted to drink a plum soda or soda ximuoi. The server or owner denied me my order not because he didn't have it but because he didn't want to give it to me. Instead he limited my options to just water or tea. Not even the canned soda in the fridge. He also criticized my order for just an appetizer. I'm sorry I wasn't hungry. And then when we paid out he had the audacity to ask for tip. What kind of world am I living in? Where I'm pressured to tip for not even giving me the basic service of a restaurant. I didn't tip. read more

One of the best place for pho ga! They're using "yellow feathered" chicken which is more savory and better chew than the standard white chicken you get at an American grocery store. Owners and service was top notch read more

This place is a low-key mom and pop shop in El Monte, located in the same plaza as Action Lanes. It's run by middle age-elderly folks who speak Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin! This place is a small place, and folks who come here usually are in parties of 1-4 or order takeout. It's pretty busy during lunch hours on weekdays but there are tables because people go on and out! Usually there are tables on weekend evenings as well. They don't have an extensive menu, so people really come here for mainly variations of chicken pho/ pho ga or rice dishes. Food comes out quick, and everyone's slurping their noodles down. I appreciate that they serve clean chicken broth with the authentic ginger fish sauce which is what should be served with Pho Ga. All that being said, service can be a miss because they don't really check in on you, so Ive had to walk up to the counter. You don't come here for the service though. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a good chicken pho place! It's simple, warms your soul, and can cure any illness/hangovers :) read more

Chicken was filling and good. The soup was good but needed some touch ups. Service was friendly and attentive, love that. Very casual ambiance and small. I was hoping it was the chewy glass noodles, but they gave me regular thin mung bean noodles, maybe they don't have the glass noodles anymore? But other than that, it's a nice spot. Very generous on the meat! read more

Ordered some dishes to go. Showed up on the quoted time but had to wait for awhile. Order was packed neatly. I liked the flavor of the curry chicken, but there were lots of tiny broken bones in there so I had to eat very carefully. Chicken gizzard was dry and hard. Chicken pho was decent. Meat was tender but soup was light. Beef pho was my favorite. Deep flavor. read more

Had the small chicken pho and the banh cuon, to go. The chicken was nice and silky, good portion as well. Really had a nice broth and it hit the spot on a rainy day. The rice flour noodle around the banh cuon was thick. I like mine with the thin layer of rice flour as possible. But filling was decent. Would prob skip next time and try something else. read more

Pho LTK - Bun Bo Hue and Tea - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

I've been yearning for the Ly Thuong Kiet experience I remember from the original Monterey Park location--the one we lost when the complex burned down. Unfortunately, today's visit was subpar and didn't live up to the legacy. The soul of LTK was always in the depth of the broth, but today the soup was bland and lacked that rich, collagen-heavy finish it used to have. Most disappointing was the poultry; it certainly didn't seem to be the traditional yellow feather chicken they were known for. The texture was off, and it lacked that distinct, flavorful fat that defines a truly great bowl of chicken noodle soup. It's sad to see a local icon lose its edge. I hope they return to their roots, but for now, it's just not the same even at a different location. read more

Came here for lunch after bowling in the same plaza. Thanks to Yelp for sending me here. Really is like home cooking! I thoroughly enjoyed my bun thit nuong with egg rolls.

I saw this pho restaurant had good reviews so gave it a try for lunch. There was plenty of parking when I came around 12pm and no wait for a table either. We were seated fast and beat the rush because the tables filled up fast a while later. It is very casual here since it's not a large chain restaurant but their tables still got filled when it was lunch hour. We ordered the shrimp and crab paste soup w/ vermicili (11.50) and my friend got the beef tripe, tendon soup pho (11.99). We ordered the small bowl size. The food was ready in about 5 minutes which was fast. The shrimp and crab paste soup was pretty good but the noodle portion was a bit small even for a small size. The soup was nicely seasoned though and the meatballs were good too. My friend said the beef pho was pretty good too. It looked like it had a good portion of meat and noodles too. Overall, I think this is a decent pho place to eat out but there are better ones. The food is not bad and good parking. However, note that they do charge a credit card fee. I don't know what the minimum is because they didn't say until I already gave them my credit card. So that part was bad or I would have paid with cash or ordered more. read more

We love pho and are always looking for a new place to try. We happened upon Pho LTK after bowling in the same plaza (Midway). This pho place is different in that in doesn't focus so much on beef but has lots of chicken pho options. The taste of the broth was good, as were the noodles. The Chicken Leg with Noodle was yummy-- the whole chicken leg was included and cut in manageable pieces! The Hai-nan Style Chicken Rice was also good with a generous portion of rice. Inside dining.

The chicken pho and the combination pho was absolutely horrendous. Took one bite, paid and left. The chicken was extremely chewy and all the different types of meat tasted off, like they went bad. The combination pho broth had the taste of the meat that has gone bad. They also served steamed mung bean sprouts but that too was super yellow, not white. Service was good though. She was friendly and welcoming. There is a language barrier so it was difficult to communicate. I wouldn't recommend this place based off the food though. read more

A local family owned hole in the wall. We decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Although the shop is small and doesn't look like much, their pho is solid. There is a slight communication barrier at times, but their food is authentic. I ordered the Pho Tai with rare beef on the side. Their broth is flavorful and not oily. The noodles are well cooked and comes with all the usuals accompaniments - bean sprouts, basil, limes, jalapeños. We also ordered the egg rolls - so crispy and came burning hot so definitely were fresh! Took a while after our pho was already out so forgot to take a picture. One order comes with 4 egg rolls. Loved wrapping these in the lettuce and dipping into the fish sauce. read more

This place is a must visit every time I'm in the area. The pho broth is delicious and very flavorful, you can tell it's made with top quality ingredients. The noodles are the perfect texture, soft but chewy. Each bowl comes with a good amount of meat and noodles and fills me up easily. The workers are quick to refill water and are very friendly. The shop is nice and cozy, and is one of my favorite restaurants. read more

So good. The best pho I've had in a while. Ordered a large and it was the perfect amount of food. Pho came out really fast and was so good for a cold day.

I've always seen posts for this place on instagram, but it's not cold enough for pho yet so I decided to get dessert. I saw a post of a che ba mau and was curious to try it as I've always seen it on menus, but never had it. The appearance was slightly different from other variants. It had cubed jelly instead of the usual Jelly strips I've seen. The red beans were whole and not as sweet as the kind one would get from a boba shop as a topping, but the light sweetness made me feel good cause I wasn't overdoing it on the sugar. All and all it was great. It inspired me to try ones from other places! read more

My brother wanted to try to new takeout place for pho. I ordered my usual Pho Dac Biet. The broth tasted more watered down and bland than other pho restaurants, but I read other reviews it was because they don't use MSG but instead natural ingredients. The soup did taste more healthy and less conscious of what I was putting into my body. The tendon pieces were slightly more tough and had more collagen than other places. Overall for the portion, price, and taste, I'll give it a 8.5/10 rating. read more

Ordered to-go orders here a few times. Haven't had the pho (yet) but always returned for their rice dishes and banh cuon. Food feels and tastes very home-y and comforting. Prices are great because portions are big enough to share (especially a large banh cuon). Restaurant is quite small and decor is what you'd expect from a typical Viet restaurant. Staff are nice. Personal fav are the the beef cubes with red rice (com bo luc lac) and their Hainan chicken. Another solid local spot to support read more

Came for the first time for dinner last night. At first I was apprehensive about it due to it being a hole in the wall in a rundown center with very few customers. But then I read some more Yelp reviews and gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. I went in and grabbed a menu off the counter before taking a seat. Soon after, the server came and I asked what was most popular since it was my first time. She recommended the dac biet, so I went with that. I asked for the small size and also a glass of water with no ice. After a while, the food came. Everything looked fine except I noted a lemon slice in place of the usual lime. I grabbed a tray for some sriracha and hoisin sauce, dropped in the veggies, and dug in. Overall the broth is not bad, but I was really surprised by the serving size. This small size was more than enough food with lots of noodles and plenty of meat. Maybe it's missing some of the usual veggies and herbs, but it made up for it with the size. When I was done, I went up to the counter and paid with a credit card. I was very full and satisfied. I would probably come back if I were in the area and wanted a low cost, high value, large pho meal. Pros: nice people, ample parking, large serving, high value, low cost Cons: old crappy center, old hole in the wall store, not the highest quality broth or ingredients read more

One of the better hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese places in the SGV. This place became my de facto "too lazy to cook" lunch and dinner pickup spot! Come here for the Hainan-style Chicken rice, served bone-in with broth and the usual ginger scallion dipping sauces. The pho here is pretty average so I wouldn't particularly recommend it- but the other dishes I like eating here are the French style cubed beef and Charboiled Pork with vermicelli. Portions are generous and the staff are friendly, though they do struggle a bit with English ordering. Also, make sure to check opening hours before you come or order on Doordash as the schedule does change from week to week. read more

Passed by this place a few times and finally stopped by to try. This is a small mom-and-pop Vietnamese noodle house. The staff were friendly and nice. The price is cheaper compared to elsewhere and the portion is huge. We ordered the Pho Dac Biet (special pho with everything), chicken curry bun (round rice noodle), and Banh cuon nhat thit (rice rolls with ground pork stuffing). The flavors were traditional Vietnamese style and and everything came out steaming hot, which was perfect! I like the pho broth and the Banh cuon was full of meat per roll. The chicken in the curry was a tad soft but that's because it's been stewing for a while. Also ordered a che ba mau (3 color dessert), which was good. You'll get your money's worth with the portion size here. Recommend! read more

During the Pandemic, we have definitely ordered-in more than ever before. A couple of years ago, I tried Pho LTK for the first time, and it was a solid 3.5 stars then.... ... and I'm happy to share that they have not only improved their overall game, but that they go above and beyond to make their customers happy. I have successfully converted all three of my kids into Super-Phans of Pho, and what kid doesn't like fried "spring rolls"? I always order the Goi Cuon here, which are huge, delicious, fresh, and served with LTK's unique peanut sauce... a little darker than other places-- maybe a touch more hoisin? The kids and the Mrs. always get the Tai Chin, and I'm a Dac Biet guy with all the trimmings, tripe, tendons... all the nam gan sach bo vien stuff :) Ordering through Yelp/Grubhub is convenient, and since we're so close, it's like a $0.49 delivery fee (along with all the other fees and tips, but totally worth it that I don't have to put my shoes back on and drive somewhere once I'm home in front of a fireplace on a cool evening. Once or twice we did drop in for take out, and the owners are sweet to my kids, and generous to put extra sauces and condiments into little containers for our Picante-preferences. Good people. I am glad that this local business has "made it" through the pandemic, and I hope that they stay in our neighborhood for a long time. The next time you're in the mood for a tasty and low-stress Vietnamese food night, give them a call! read more
