This is the best Vietnamese resteraunt I've ever had! Growing up, I was always tired of Vietnamese food because I was raised in a Vietnamese household, but the food here made me crave it! The food here reminded me a lot of my mother's home cooking and the service was great. I recommend to everyone! read more

Wonderful family owned small business! Great food at a fair price. The portions are good and after all these years it's like family.

Not happy with soup, taste like they added to much MSG, For a medium bowl I paid $17.40 And they didn't have Thai Basil How do you serve soup with one of the most important condiments Don't think I will go again read more

Delicious!!!!! The Thai tea was amazing. I could literally drink 10 of them! The egg rolls were also perfectly crunchy and golden they're served with lettuce and cilantro and a dipping sauce idk what it is tbh but the guy said to wrap it in the greens and dip it and it was fire! Try it with a lil hot sauce the service was very kind and even though it was a busy lunch the service was fast. the Pho was good too I got the brisket of course and my man got the combo pho. They were very clear broth and very tasty it was slightly sweet though so don't add hoisin! Thai tea was so good I forgot to take pictures of the rest of our order read more

1/9/24 - We came in during the late afternoon/early evening and there was only one other party there. I ordered a large bowl of the Combination Pho which I shared with my partner as well as a serving of their fried egg rolls. The combination pho comes with an assortment of meats that you can submerge into the broth upon receiving it to further cook it to your liking. It comes with a side plate of limes, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and other greens. The pho is authentic and the broth is warm and comforting. The meats all taste good too. The fried egg rolls were split into 9 pieces. It came with lettuce to wrap them in as well as a container with fish sauce to dip into. The fried eggs rolls were good on their own, but the sauce elevated the taste. The owner is nice and friendly and takes good care of his customers. The food is also very affordable and you get a large portion for what you're paying for. The other pho places in Whittier are Pho Whittier and Pho n' Roll. If you're willing to drive out towards the Santa Fe Springs area, I believe this place tastes more authentic and better and has better value for its food at its price point. read more

Wow we are new in the town and we stop to eat something and we found this place, after try the food we falling in love, the flavor is tasty, the service was fast fully familiar place. Me and my wife we full recommend you. read more

It's a great price for what you get . I would give it a 7 out of 10 . Checks hours before you go

This the 1st time in over 5 years coming here. The broth is good, but I saw that they kept the pho noodles in an open bucket that rolls. Doesn't seem sanitary. The noodles were dry and stuck together. I ordered egg rolls and the sound was alarming while waiting. It sounded like the type of sizzle when you put frozen food in the fryer. And I think that's what happened because the egg rolls were burnt and tasted as such. The nuoc cham sauce was basically water. Thankfully I made some so it made the burnt egg rolls more edible. Maybe in another 5 years, I'll try again. read more

I really like the fact that they have hu tieu...a glass noodle made with tapioca that retains a toothsome chew that I grew up loving. It can be served with soup or dry with a fresh meaty tomato sauce and soup on the side. It's not as good as the homemade version I grew up with, but it's close enough. They also have pho and rice and noodle bowls. There's also a small smattering of Cantonese dishes, too. I've only ever had the soup dishes and they all have been really good. I've only ordered to-go so I've never eaten in-house. Everything has been properly packed to-go and is great when I get home. The folks here are very nice. Very friendly and helpful. I've been happy to come back. read more

Great bbq beef spring rolls, great price ($7 for 2 before tax). Wish the peanut sauce was more peanutty, but maybe that was just a me thing. Guy working was very nice and attentive, and the place was getting busy for lunch. Loved the vibe and the decor. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Really not that good. Our egg rolls were burnt. Our spring rolls were watery and flavorless. The sauces were abysmal, watery, flavorless. The veggies were old and wilted. The cilantro was black on all the edges. I would say overall this was a really poor experience. read more

We called in our order and it was ready within 15 mins. We got two different types of pho and it was really good. You might want to use your own bowl so it's easier to mixed everything. We boiled our broth and microwaved the noodles so everything was piping hot! Don't sleep in this step! It's crucial for takeout! read more

Best Little Pho House in South Whittier. Love this place. A family favorite. Good food and reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Small but nice. read more

I have eaten here before Covid and I thought food was good. Before leaving a review, I wanted to try take out to see if food was still delicious especially the pho. Came today during noon and ordered pho (#3), vermicelli, and spring rolls. When I got home, broth was still piping hot. The broth had good flavor and the steak was soft. My fiancé liked his lemongrass chicken vermicelli (#51). We also ordered the shrimp & pork rolls (#103) and we both did not care for it. It needed more noodles and less lettuce, and the pork pieces inside were very small. Overall, the food was cooked good and we would come back again. They are only doing take out right now due to Covid and they're open 10am-5pm. read more

This place is a local hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese food. Run by a husband and wife. Some of the best pho you'll ever taste! Much much better than the other more famous restaurants in the area. read more

The owner was a sweet man with great service. The food was just not good. Vermicelli noodles were over cooked the egg roll were burned and tasted weird. Maybe I'll try again and actually have the pho. read more

My wife and I come to this place almost once every week at least for decent bowl of pho. It's always cooked well and never disappoints. If you want to be pleasantly surprised try the orange chicken as well. I ordered it as a side and it's been apart of my order ever since. The restaurant is simple and clean inside. Very tranquil. Wonderful place. read more

Always get my food to-go from here! The prices of their pho are unbeatable!! The rice dishes are slightly more pricey than other viet restaurants I feel like. As such, I think I've never tried their rice dishes before. Owner is always nice, and the containers that the pho come in are good, you can take it back to your office and eat it without any problem. I appreciate that they use the wider bowls that way the meat won't be at the bottom of a very tall container. Also not sure why the other person said "cash only." I think my last time here was maybe a few months ago, and unless they implemented new policy or something, they do take credit cards! read more

Super good and affordable. Owners are very kind. They also have fast service and a clean restaurant read more

I waited almost 20 minutes for my bowl if pho... Usually pho is a very easy prepared item, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes... Well as it took so long I hope it's at least good quality or even surprises... No... The beef is way over cook, noodles are broken... I can sense the owner is working very hard to keep up with everything but service is just too slow read more

Prices on Togo menu is 6 year old and now willing to honor them. Food quality is on par for fast food joint.

Great place to eat! A family owned business and the owner is always so caring with his clients. Is like eating at home.

Pho Mai, baby, where you been all my SoCal life? LOCATION Not sure how many times I have driven by here in the past few years, but I'll admit it's easy to miss. It's in a strip mall with free parking, but some spots are "30 minutes" only. Crowded during the (typical) work week. ATMOSPHERE Casual. Rather small dining area. No fees for using debit/credit card. Didn't see a restroom, however, I ordered to go. SERVICE On their game! Very nice employees. Not chit chatty - they're simply very busy! If it seems a little slow - it's because everybody and their mamas and papas is ordering takeout from this place - seriously! FOOD + shrimp and pork spring rolls ($4.95) - delicious, generous serving + pho tai ("sliced beef rice noodles soup" - $5.75 for a medium bowl) - comes with all of the add-ins (that savory broth, jalapeños, lime wedges, sliced scallions, cilantro, some white onion, Sriracha & Hoisin sauce packets, is that Thai basil? - uh, I'll ask next time, and an ungodly amount of bean sprouts) all this even on to-go orders packed in a mindful manner KID/BABY-FRIENDLINESS I bet I could make it work with my two mostly well-behaved toddlers, but they eat quite a wide variety of food so it might be harder with pickier kids. I didn't see any high chairs, slings or booster seats, though, much less a restroom... I would order takeout mainly for the latter reason. TIPS - closed on Sunday (as of 1/20/17) - open M-F 9:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. & Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. - if you order takeout in person it might be a 15-minute wait or so OVERALL Pho Mai is a gem. Don't ruin for the rest of us by being their number one customer! :) Kidding, kind of. | Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Environment: 3 | Price: 5 | 2017 Yelp 100 Challenge 7/100 read more

After my coworker mentioned last week that there was a good pho restaurant nearby my eyes lit up and I couldn't stop thinking about having a delicious piping hot bowl of Pho during my lunch time. I finally ventured on my journey during lunch today for a delicious bowl of pho. Pho Mai was only a couple miles from my office and it sure didn't disappoint! Who knew there would be such a great Vietnamese restaurant close by? When I arrived, the parking lot was packed and there was already a line of people waiting outside. Luckily, the wait wasn't too bad and I was seated within 10-15 minutes. I ordered #2 which was the beef slices with cooked brisket. My order took longer than I expected to arrive but I can't blame them since it was during the lunch rush. I am also very picky about the veggies when I eat pho and I am happy to report that the veggies they serve are washed nicely and there were no nasty insect bites in the mint leaves. I will definitely be coming back again! read more

Food is ok but this is primarily a takeout place. Yes they will seat you but it's very small and it gets crowded at lunchtime and service is super slow. And don't even ask about the restroom. Order ahead, pick it up when they say when and you will have a nice meal at home. read more
