Pho MDR is a convenient option and the closest pho restaurant to where I live, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit. I ordered the seafood pho and spring rolls. The pho was fresh, but it contained an unusually large amount of ginger strips, which overpowered the broth more than I prefer. The spring rolls were decent, though the dipping sauce tasted off. Parking can also be a bit tricky depending on when you visit. Overall, it's an okay neighborhood option when you're craving pho, but there are stronger choices if you're willing to drive a little farther. read more

Cute pho place right off Washington (near 26 Beach). Parking can be tough but if you turn on Abbot Kinney, you can park in residential. The service was good and fast at taking order and checking on you. The tofu spring roll was tasty, loved the peanut dipping sauce and the broth for pho rare steak was clear and flavorful read more

I want to start off by saying I really enjoyed my visit here. We were a group of 7 and the staff put 2 tables together so we could all sit together. We were encouraged by a friend to try the tofu fries and they were so delicious. I was impressed/happy/thankful that my chicken pho had so much chicken in it! I cannot tell you how dissapointed I am when there's only a little bit of chicken/meat in my pho! I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. I recomend 10/10 read more

Doordashed the Rare Beef Steak Pho - I live near Westwood and it was right after work so it took about 45 minutes. Quickly reheated up the broth in a pot since it had cooled down a bit after travel. Overall delicious and the broth was great! A little salty but the noodles, veggies, and noodles helped balance it out. Kept a little for leftovers and those help up well too! Doordash itself was great and came a lot sooner than anticipated. The store packaged it really well with a sticker/staple to keep everything secure - nothing spilled on the way over. read more

Pho MDR - Pho Rare Beef Loin NY - To Go - Vietnamese Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

Waited almost an hour for subpar pho. We were charged an 18% service fee for 2 people. We are not from here but I found this ridiculous, tipping should be optional, not mandatory. read more

I loved the decor and vibe of this place. Very Venice beach but it's technically in Marina Del Rey. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating although I didn't need much. I went in about 7 pm and it wasn't busy. Just a few people there. The food was tasty. Not out of this world but average for a pho spot. Would I go back? Probably yes, if I couldn't find another spot. Pricey for a pho spot. read more

I ordered this for delivery via Grubhub, please take into consideration for my review. I got: - Pho Rare Beef Loin New York - Coconut Shrimp Overall, the pho was solid. It didn't blow me away but it was packaged well and tasted good. The amount was a little underwhelming considering the list price of $18.50 (Before delivery fees etc). But I enjoyed it and finished it all the same. The coconut shrimp weren't that great though. The flavor was a little iffy, it felt like they perhaps put a bunch of spices or lemon flavor that overpowered the shrimp. I still finished them but it was a little underwhelming. Overall, it's decent Pho on the west side but a bit pricey. read more

Expensive for small portions of food and little amount of meat , I ordered the combination pho which is cost me more than 28$ and there was 18% service added already not including the tips!! And i still feels hungry! like I wasted my money to leave unhappy and end up ordering something else from another place!! read more

Pho MDR - Vietnamese Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

I have a simple test for pho. Once I try it somewhere, I observe my reaction every time I drive by. If i'm salivating, or suddenly craving it, then it's a hit, and a must try. If I'm not dripping saliva like a French Mastiff, then it's a pass. Pho MDR? Yeah... I crave it almost every time. The only thing stopping me from pulling over constantly is the parking situation--if there's not a spot out front, I keep going. (L.A. problems.) In the last month, I've been here six times. That should tell you everything. My go-to? The pho with rare beef loin. Simple, consistent, absolutely delicious. The broth is the star--rich and savory without being oily or heavy. Unlike a lot of pho joints where your bowl looks like it's been dunked in a fryer, this one's clean, comforting, and just hits the spot. It's reliable, dependable, and unlike my dating life... predictable. My other staple here? The Pad See Ew. It's a family favorite, and while not every pho spot nails it, this one does. It has that nostalgic street vendor flavor from the motherland. One bite, and I'm in Southeast Asia. Dessert? Mango sticky rice. Yes, yes--I know it's more Thai than Vietnamese. But do I care? No. Why? Because it's food porn, plain and simple. read more

Pho MDR - Pad See Ew - Vietnamese Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

Service 4.6/5 Food 4.1/5 Value 4.25/5 A cute little spot right on Washington boulevard, which makes it really hard to park. I would suggest the neighborhoods for parking but pay attention to street signs! The food was pretty good. The most important thing for me in pho are the broth and meat. The broth was nice and flavorful, and I could definitely see myself drinking every bit of the soup. In my opinion however, there was not much meat, especially since they give you a huge bowl (and charge accordingly as well). At $18, I would expect just a bit more meat to where I didn't run out within the first couple bites. Otherwise, I love the vibe of the restaurant; it's definitely a cute date spot! read more

This place is great!! It's hard to find better Pho on the west side specifically in MDR. Service is great and accommodating. I usually always get brisket, or steak. I will say a few times I've gotten my pho on the colder side but they have been more than happy to fix it. The ladies are always so sweet! read more

might b the best pho on the west side! Staff is super nice too! Beers qre only $4. The aesthetic is T

Love their MDR crispy wings. I don't like "soggy" wings and they are crispy and hot just right! Also nice bowl portion of PHO! The indoor vibe is kinda funky like with the red lighting and the art, the club music, street vibes etc. They also have mango rice that's good. Parking is on the street or on the side if you have it. Limited spots. About 8 tables inside so it's not big. 6 (four tops) and 2 (2 tops). There is a handicap ramp on the side entrance which helps if you have mobility challenges. The main front entrance has a high step (one step) and is narrow to get in. Definitely a "neighborhood". Mostly locals here. Also tried their Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Garlic Beef. One thing to note, no outside food or drink and no public restrooms. They also automatically add the tip to the bill at 18% and for parties 6+ is 20%. None of it is retained by the owner, 100% service charge goes to the staff working. read more

Pho MDR - Pho MDR - Vietnamese Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

My friend and I decided to find a Vietnamese place to enjoy on a chilly day when I came across Pho MDR. I loved how cute it was from the outside, so we decided to give it a try. My first impressions were based off of how cute and fun the interior was. Definitely a warm and cozy vibe that my friend and I very much enjoyed. The dining area was a bit small, but we went later in the evening so we had no problem finding a table to dine at. For my beverage, I decided to order a Vietnamese Coffee as it's one of my all time favorite drinks to order at Vietnamese restaurants. Unfortunately, this was probably the worst one I've had. The coffee came with a hugeee amount of condensed milk on the clustered bottom so I made sure to shake it vigorously. Even mixed, it was way too sweet with almost no coffee flavor at all. I asked for more coffee on the side so I can balance it out but that didn't help, it was undrinkable. I didn't want to make a fuss so I just left it on the table and paid for it when it was time to leave. When it came to the dishes themselves, they were actually really flavorful and delicious. My friend ordered pho and she did enjoy it. I loved my noodles as well as they were well cooked and had nice flavor depth to it. In terms of service, this is where it fell quite short for me. My friend and I weren't too pleased that our appetizer came out the same time as our food, otherwise, we wouldn't have ordered it. It was very delicious nonetheless, but kind of a waste in this scenario. They also were out of mangos so we couldn't order dessert. Furthermore, the employee who picked up our check with our cards, took a significant amount of time to run them. She also ran the cards multiple times to the point where my card wouldn't work and my friend got multiple charges on her card. These extra charges were eventually canceled, but I have no idea what the cause of this was. We must've waited 10-15 minutes just to get our cards back. Additionally, a 18% service charge got added to our bill. Could be the reason why our service wasn't quite good, considering they get automatic 18% onto every bill. My friend and I weren't too pleased with this either. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and the quality of the food but everything else was quite disappointing. I don't believe my friend and I will return. read more

Phi MDR is a very cute and unassuming hole in the wall pho place. There are only street spaces so parking might be a bit of a challenge at certain times of the day. The inside of the place is small and has some themed pho & Vietnamese food art painted on the wall, which is a nice touch. The service was swift and the portions were ample. We ordered the beef loin pho & chicken pho as well as the egg rolls with pork. All the great flavors were there- the beef was tender, and the broth was nice and hot. We thought the pork spring rolls were pretty great too. We left very full and satiated, it definitely hit the spot! read more

Love this Pho spot!!! The service is amazing never a time where you look up and they don't come over. The ambiance is perfect small and cozy! Now let's get to their pho. The soup base is delicious I've had both the beef broth and chicken broth. Both are excellent I usually do the rare beef and it is fantastic. The fri d rice here is also phenomenal which is weird for a pho spot yes but also excellent. My favorite thing on the menu is the tofu fries! It is so good and the sweet chili sauce you dip it in is the perfect balance! Definitely try this place out, you won't regret it!!! read more

Solid spot for pho and Vietnamese comfort food in the Marina. The broth is flavorful and not too salty, which is a win, and the portions are generous. I had the filet mignon pho -- meat was tender and came out perfectly rare before warming up in the broth. Also tried the crispy spring rolls and garlic noodles, which were both solid. The space is casual and clean, service is friendly but no-frills. Tip for first-timers: if you like your pho spicy, ask for extra chili oil on the side -- they don't overdo it by default. Great for a quick lunch or casual dinner when you're craving something warm and satisfying. read more

I placed a to go order when I walked in, and it took about 20 minutes to get my order. I got the Mdr veggie rolls and pho cooked beef loin. The server was friendly and my food was still warm when I got home. The flavor was not hitting for me. This was probably the most bland pho I've ever had. If you are into bland, this is for you. The jalapeños did add a nice kick, but it was pretty boring. However the broth is plentiful and I can doctor it up with Hoison sauce and sriracha, both of which come with the soup. read more

Super sweet staff and might go to pho spot on the west side. If you want a good home-cooked meal, this is the place to go.

Pleasantly surprised with this spot and honestly didn't even know it existed until tonight. It was a cold and misty evening and they were definitely short handed, but they hustled hard and the wait for food wasn't bad at all, although we did have to ask for our drinks a couple times. The veggie spring rolls with garlic beef were delicious. The pho portion was massive and all the flavors were there. Tender beef, super fresh toppings and a nice clean broth really hit the spot. Interior is kind of strange as they made it feel like an exterior. It's also a bit tight inside with a lot of Doordash pickup traffic so it felt a little crammed at times. Overall, solid food with a couple rough edges. Definitely a nice spot when you're in the area and want some decent Pho in a pinch. read more

This little hole-in-the-wall, Pho MDR Noodle Culture, is a hidden gem right in my neighborhood! I must have passed this place a million times without ever stopping in. Yesterday, I met a Pho-loving friend for lunch and I'm glad I did. The Vietnamese & Thai fusion restaurant offers a myriad of choices and all of them were delicious. We started with the house-made veggie rolls, fried and stuffed with a blend of veggies and spices and a side of nuoc cham. (Fish sauce). We followed this with the Fried Chicken and Veggie Dumplings with a side of soy sauce vinaigrette. We also tried the Satay-grilled chicken skewers marinated in turmeric seasoning peanut dipping sauce, and pickled veggies. What we really came for though was the Pho Rare Beef Loin NY-rice noodle soup topped with sliced rare New York strip loin, green onions, slide onion, and cilantro served in a beef broth with a side of bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno, hoison, sriacha sauce, and lime. This was definitely the star of the show. Service is quick and efficient and we'll definitely be back. read more

Horrible service. I ordered only one Tom Yum Shrimp Boodle Soup, but I was charged for two. When I pointed out the mistake and asked for a refund for the extra charge, they refused to refund me. On top of that, they also refused to give me the food I had already paid for because I wanted my money back for the incorrect charge. This was a very disappointing experience, and I won't be returning. read more

It's a busy night here, but service is great. this place always hits the spot, highly recommend. Yui is the best!!

You were rude. We don't want business from rude asshole people.

Good for west side LA. Beef pho came with a lot of meat which was nice, but not nearly enough noodles to justify $18 in my opinion. Broth was tasty but too salty.

Not the biggest fan of how they charge for all the extra sides you'd typically get for free when ordering pho at any other restaurant, but still enjoyed my meal. They serve large bowls, although it's a bit extra broth for its contents. The beef rolls are a yummy appetizer and the brisket is tasty. Service is fine, they do automatically add 18% minimum service charge to small parties and more for larger parties. read more

Chilly December evening. Out with friends who also hadn't eaten. Don't remember who suggested Pho MDR, but whatever the case, it's where we ended up. Was really dreading parking. It's right on Washington. Just past Lincoln. If you know the area, you know. But somehow, made one lap (turned into the neighborhood) and found a spot right in front. Don't recall what time parking enforcement (time restrictions) end. Read the signs. Walked in. Seated immediately. No wait. Noticed a lot of take out business. Service was the usual I've become accustomed to at Pho restaurants. Just wave the staff down if/when you need something. Friendly is what I will say about the person who was our server and cashier. For the food. See pics. Ordered Pho, Chicken Skewers and a Noodle Dish. Wasn't the most memorable meal I've ever had but it definitely hit the spot. Pho broth was nice and hot. There was an adequate amount of ingredients but wouldn't had minded more. Didn't really have the other dishes - so, won't comment on them. On a previous visit, I had the Tom Yum Soup and Dumplings. The food is good enough for me to have now went twice. I'm sure I'll be back again - not many Pho restaurants close to me. At least that I like. read more
