Decided to stop by during such a cold day. Needed a piping hot pho. The location has plenty of parking. They have a robot that brings your food. As it arrives, the waitress kindly places your food at your table. A great way to bring multiple plates at once. I ordered summer rolls and there was nothing to rave about. They actually felt grainy. For my pho, the house special was the way to go. The broth was flavorful. Generous pieces of meat and tendon. I needed abut more onion but really enjoyed it.

Given that Pho Nom Nom had positive reviews, I decided to try it out. I live in LA where there is an extensive Vietnamese community and consequently some great Vietnamese restaurants. Was pleased to see that they serve Bun Bo Hue style soups and ordered the large S1D. Was quite disappointed. The backbone of any soup is the broth. It has to be slow cooked overnight with tons of bones to extract the full flavor. Sadly this broth was insipid and tasted little better than beef broth out of a can. The vegetables were fresh and the noodles were good. Lastly, there was hardly any meat in my soup. What should have given me pause on entering the restaurant and walked away was that all the waiters were Hispanic and the manager(?) looked like he was not Vietnamese. Not to mention that the waiters were inattentive as they were busy on their cell phones most of the time I was there. That should have been a warning sign. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the Vietnamese restaurant in LA employ Vietnamese cooks, waiters, managers as they know their food! Ambience was fine. Restaurant was clean. Lastly, not sure why they employ robotic carts to bring the food to the table. Are the waiters not to be trusted to bring food to your table?

I only have good things to say about this place! Let's start with the pho - absolutely fantastic. The broth was rich and aromatic, clearly simmered for hours to develop that deep, satisfying flavor. Adding a squeeze of fresh lime, a few sprigs of basil, and a touch of their garlic chili sauce really elevated it to another level. I appreciated the different size options. The spring rolls were another winner. Perfectly crispy and light, with a filling of fresh, vibrant vegetables. You could taste the quality of the ingredients. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and inviting. The layout has a good mix of seating options to accommodate different groups. There's a cute robot server that brings the dishes to the table, and we had a laugh over it saying that something was blocking its way, and that it would lose its job if the food wasn't brought to the table soon. The (human) service overall was prompt and efficient, just what I want at a pho restaurant. Overall, this restaurant is a gem. The food is top-notch, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is on point. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and comforting bowl of pho. Free parking lot.

This review is based on a to go order. When I called this place the cashier on the phone was extremely nice! Excited to take my order. That was a great first impression for my first time coming here. I use to come to the pho spot that was here before so when I heard about Pho Nom Nom being here I thought I try it. And the reviews are great! The restaurant is clean and vibrant. If I had time I would have loved to eat in. The pho was good! I did the eye round steak. They portion was pretty decent for the price. I didn't extra meat on one bowl and it was $19 for the bowl. Not too bad. Flavor in the broth was good but I felt like it could have a little more flavorful. I felt like there could have been more onions and cilantro but they didn't put enough in the bowl. Next time I will ask. But it was good and I would definitely come here again! Thanks for the best customer service I had at a Pho spot!

We came on a weekday for lunch and it was busy. We ordered the S1 bun bo hue dac biet, S2a hu tieu tom thit, B6 chanh muoi and B13 sinh to bo (avocado smoothie). The food was good, and the large is quite large. My partner got the SL bun bo hue however it was more broth and a decent amount of noodles and protein. The blood cubes were fresh and good, but the other protein weren't and even seemed old like it was from yesterday's batch. Service was good, however a slight wait on food and drinks. Prices are similar to their Rockville location, so slightly overpriced in my opinion. It's located in a plaza so plenty of parking space compared to the other location.

Pho bowl with a fly

I want to love this place ..... but I went there for dinner with boyfriend. It's not my first choice but I decided why not. Big mistake. I order the P4 and some food and drink to go. However when I dressed it up, I noticed a fruit fly in my bowl. Confused where it came I did some investigating and it came from the vinegar. I know this bc there was another dead fruit fly on the nozzle! Thankfully they got me another bowl, fine. But then we received our drink to go it was completely the wrong order. We ordered a small smoothie w no bubbles - they gave us a large w bubbles. While we were checking out we said "we got the wrong order but we don't want you to remake it all over can you just charge us for what we wanted", and yet they STILL overcharged us . At this point we were over it. He apologized but we were done going back and forth Notes for the owners- check/clean your condiments Make sure your workers are attentive

This place lives up to its name! Delicious, large portions of pho with excellent broth. Vietnamese coffee was excellent. Plenty of tables and it was easy to get a seat during lunch. The server we had didn't speak English very well so occasionally it was difficult to communicate. Service was efficient though, except there were a lot of people paying at the same time so it took ages to get the check.

please be careful ordering at the place. They are very unsanitary. It's so disgusting having to eat and yank a hair out of my throat after taking a bite. Service is bad.

Food: Delicious fried wonton, fried shrimp. Savory pho noodles . Tasty spicy beef noodles. Cleanliness: table was dirty, crumbs allover the seats, had to waved the waitress down to come over clean them. Surprised they didn't feel the need to clean it after the previous customer Service: foods came out fast. Not much communications otherwise. Atmosphere: standard, nothing stood out Value: even though the food were pretty tasty, but $17.99 for a small size noodle is kinda pricey. And to be clear, their small is really small. Overall, not bad, but there are better ones.

We ordered takeout and chose the super large bowl, but it only came with about eight pieces of meat, which was really disappointing.

I liked the small dining area. Simple in decor. The staff was very friendly. Even allowed us to stay at our table after we finished eating. Didn't feel rushed. Took our orderly promptly and refilled our water glasses (sometimes this doesn't happen at Asian establishments or you have refill your own) We ordered some pho dishes. Didn't expect the food to come out so quick. I ordered a smaller bowl. Need to get the bigger one next time. Glad the extra noodles weren't too expensive. The broth was very soothing. Finished it. The meats and free add ons were fresh and savory. The price was good (it wasn't like the irvine up charge im used to have back in SoCal). Worth it to check out. And don't forget to travel 2-3 stores over to the left and get lost in Japanese toy heaven.

I also really like their Thai tea. Food comes out pretty quickly too. However, this place can get really busy and seating is somewhat limited since it is a smaller space. The tables are also close to one another but I don't mind it. During my recent visits though, I've noticed the portion sizes have gone down?? I usually order a small because I tend to get full fast lol and I felt like the bowl was smaller than before and there didn't seem to be much noodles or beef.

This place open until 1AM!!…read more I went around 10PM on a rainy day. The pho soup quality was still super good even though it's almost closing time. The texture of the noodle itself is really soft and a little sticky. That's how I like my noodles. I have not come across this noodle type at other pho. The quality of the beef brisket was so tender and fresh. The soup base is so good you could probably finish drinking all of it. You order at one of the three touchscreen kiosks or with a staff. The waiters are friendly and work fast. Note, you have to clean up on your own. The tables aren't the best tbh but I like the lighting. It's not fancy but it was working for me. The food taste great but you're definitely paying Tyson prices at $20 pho. The smallest, tinest drinks are $5 At night, the parking outside has plenty of spots. I imagine they'd be full during the day. No sweat though. There's a parking garage to the left of the restaurant. Oh and I built my own pho with beef brisket because I didn't like all the ingredients that are in the signature ones.
