    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    This place is so good ! First time here with my niece . She has Pho where she lives and she said this place is so good! Food was amazing I had surf and turf pho and niece had rare beef pho. Service was always with a smile Lisa is such a pleasure so sweet! Great seating and comfy. A must try! Oh yeah and the Thai tea yummy!

    10/10 always. Not only is the pho amazing, but so is everything else. The pad see ew is some of the best around it's so flavorful. All of the apps are amazing too. The woman who runs the place (maybe the owner) is really sweet. Also love the vibes inside. Frequent customer and will continue to be!

    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.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- especially for an indecisive person like me -- pointing out what's popular, what they personally like, and what they recommend. I chose to go the "build your own" route and landed on: 1. Base: Chili Garlic 2. Noodles: Yakisoba 3. Protein: Fire-grilled chicken 4. Toppings: Carrots, cabbage, red peppers, sesame seeds, crunchy chili garlic The portions are solid -- I easily got two meals out of one bowl. Since I like spice, they gave me a side of their spicy sauce, which added both sweetness and heat. With all the sauce, it was definitely a bit messy, but the flavor was bold and the kick was real. The noodles and chicken were cooked well, though next time I might choose something a little less intense so I can better appreciate all the ingredients. With that much heat and garlic, some of the other flavors got lost. All in all, lunch for about $25 on Abbot Kinney is a great deal, and I'll definitely be back to try more combinations!

The food was made fresh so served hot and the taste was delicious. HOWEVER. I did takeout and didn't look at the container until I opened it to eat. Major disappointment and concern as their thin plastic containers are most likely not heat resistant, which means chemicals leach into food. Cool concept as a store offering only noodle dishes but PLEASE change your serving and takeout containers!!

Parking can be easy on the weekdays if you park in the adjacent neighborhood residential streets (watch for parking restriction signs to avoid getting any tickets). The downside to this place in my opinion is the automated "APP" ordering system using a QR reader menu and online ordering. I'd say it would be more personal to have a human being take orders and engage with customers who may have questions and create a friendly vibe. The staff were helpful and friendly, so that wasn't the problem, it's the lack of opportunity for engagement that I think would make this place a bit more warm and fuzzy feeling in atmosphere.

This was a great deal because the beef noodle soup combo came with a snack in which we opted for the Wood Ear Mushroom and a drink in which we opted for the Arctic Orange Soda. The food was prepared quickly. The beef noodle soup combo came out first, and the dumplings came later on. It was quick AND TASTY. Wow! We try a lot of beef noodle soup but this beef is soft flavorful and tender. The portion of the wood ear mushroom was generous. The juicy pork dumplings had a thick skin compared to other xiao long bao places we've been to but the inside is tasty and balanced. A pleasant discovery that exceeded our expectations.
