Love this place been coming here since I was attending high school in 2015 Love the family and they remember us! The inside is very clean and love the music that plays I love how big the menu is and how it's caters towards a lot of different dietary restrictions. I usually get number 15 but felt like trying the oxtail pho because of a review. TBH not my favorite but loved the broth so much! Definitely one of Chatsworth favorites especially on a rainy day! read more

I actually had high hopes for this place. After seeing the good reviews from fellow yelpers and a recommendation from someone, I had to try it out for myself. Just like a lot of pho places, they're in a strip mall of some sort. This one was part of a mini corner lot with parking available. A small lot but decent. We were meeting some friends for dinner which we arrived before they did. Friday night thinking it would be mobbed but there were actually loads of tables available. Everyone that was already seated were utilizing the booths that surround the restaurant. In the middle are tables which weren't utilized. We got seated along the tables where the windows are off the street side. At the beginning, service was great. Menus were brought out which they practically had everything on it. Your traditional Vietnamese dishes, hot pot as well as well as seafood boil. It was quite impressive which was also a good thing and something we wanted to check out. It did take us a while to order as there was so much to go through as they all looked quite interesting. I tend to know what I want but still, everything looked quite good. Started off with some beers while still going through the menu. From there we ordered some starter of the shrimp spring rolls and banh xeo (Vietnamese pancakes). Springs roll, 2 per order but cut in half's to 4 pieces. Nothing special about them. Banh xeo on the other hand was quite tasty with just the right amount of crispy ness and stuffed with shrimp and accompanied by the greens. That was a tasty dish and i do recommend it. The sauces that come with the roll and pancakes were quite nice too. As for entrees, it was a mixture of everything. I love me some oxtail pho. Which they had the X-Large oxtail pho. First impressions, there was nothing X-Large about it. The size was pretty much basic. But they did give a good option of the oxtail which was nice. Broth was ok, and the condiments that came with it minus the green pepper (jalapeño) which wasn't there is alway good added. It's wasn't what I expected. There was also two order of the banh mi, one with shrimp and the other with beef. Out of the two, the shrimp was way better. I do like it with a lot of the pickle veggies and jalapeño which would have been great. The beef on the other hand, it was a major miss. I expected grilled beef chunks of some sort but when it was brought out, it was basically thin slices. A major fail. Also an order of the fries which had a nice dipping sauce both ketchup and aioli. Lastly, an order of the fried shrimp. That was quite nice with big size shrimp and batter and fried to a nice golden crisp. Served with both ketchup and aioli sauce too. The food was ok, nothing major to rave about with what we ordered. Banh xeo and the fried shrimp was a hit. The other, oxtail pho and banh mi were a dud. But after the starters came out, we had emptied bottle and the emptied plates that needed to be taken away for room. When one of the servers came out with the pho, we asked if they could clear the table a bit so there would be room for the entrees, he just brushed it off as it wasn't his job. Ok, understandable but he then just pointed to someone else and just walked away. Another entree came out which, we literally had to explain to him that there were no room for the plates. Even with us gathering them and to show him and with the bottles. We actually had to flag one of the host guys down to actually help clear the table. Mind you, only the booths were utilized and it was still hard trying to get someone's attention. Even with the bill which we also couldn't get anyone's attentions. I had to walk up to get someone's to acknowledge us. Overall, I expected to much from all the great reviews from fellow yelpers. Could just be the night we went with the service. The place wasn't crowded which it was still a little ordeal. Overall, they'll have a good clientele and regulars. I expected too much from this place with high hopes but I don't think I'll be back. The menu is quite impressive which is a plus. But our visit, it was lacking. read more

Ordered pick up through their website and everything was pretty easy. Ordered 4 different types of pho and 2 large orders of Vietnamese egg rolls The pho was tasty and they loaded us up with the accessories aka Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, lime. For an extra $1.50 u can go from regular to XL for ur bowl. The Vietnamese egg rolls rolls were DELICIOUS. They were large and loaded with pork/veggies and crispy fried. The fish sauce to dip was heaven and they also provided a good amount of Romain lettuce and mint to wrap our egg rolls. BOMB. Solid spot for some comfort food. read more

I give this place 5/5. The food here is consistent good. They really do their best to ensure they provide a good quality whatever it is you order. The pho that I ordered was flavorful and it was a good portion and mild spicy as I wanted it. 5/5. Fried chicken was cooked well and juicy inside. They seasoned it well. I'm impressed. 5/5. Inside is clean, the service was good and they always check on you incase you need anything else. This place never fails as a me of my plan B place to go to. Although parking it a little tight. Street and parking is an option. read more

Very generous portions of pho! The oxtail pho is the one we always get and the meat is so tender. Tendon melts in your mouth too. Service is good, although a lot of communication will be with pointing if you don't speak viet. It's a big restaurant with lots of booth seating so a big party would be comfortable here. read more

All I have to say is that the food is horrible. Had the chicken pho and very bland. No flavor at all. Was recommended this place as it's in the neighborhood. Never again. read more

Phonomenal oxtail pho. I come here at least once a week and the consistency is there, along with the quality. The oxtail meat literally falls off the bone-tender, juicy, delicious. The broth tastes very clean and the noodles are yummy as well. I like to kick it up with a bunch of Thai basil, jalapeños as well as the hoisin and sriracha sauces. Very delicious! The spot is pretty big with 20 some tables and the service is great and ran by this very nice Vietnamese family. Will definitely come back! read more

I've been here a few times with my family and we enjoy the food and service here! The ambiance is casual, cultural, and homey, nothing modern or hip which is fine by me. I've had their noodle soups and pho so far and all have been delicious! I must say their prices are higher than what I'm used to paying at Pho So 1, but their wonton noodle soup and other hard-to-find soups are special and it's Chatsworth so maybe that's why? I've had their: Bun Bo Hue (BBH), Vegetarian BBH, Wonton and BBQ pork Egg Noodle Soup, and Dry Egg Noodle with Soup on the Side. I appreciate that their staff checks in on you which is hard to find at other Viet restaurants haha. Parking can be right given they're in a small plaza, but we've always found parking. read more

My mom said, she was gonna treat us all to dinner at 8pm on a weekday. We called first and they said they can accommodate us but will be closing at 9pm. We got there and looked at the menu. My brother-in-law said omg we been here before but didn't eat here. I opened the menu and was blown away but their prices. We both started lol because now I know why he left. (Overpriced) As I looked at the menu I liked how they have hot stone pho soup, pho with short ribs, banh xeo, seafood boil, and etc. I can't tell they are trying to keep up with what's trending. I told my family let's just give it a try. I'm glad we stayed. The food was excellent. The pho broth was a little on the dark side but packed with flavor. It was so rich, silky and perfectly seasoned with all the spices in pho. The meat on the short rib was falling off the bone tender. The bo nen was fire. I wish they added cheese tho. The butter on top did make the dish better. The suace and butter melted together so well. I wish I ordered bread to dip into that beautiful sauce but my son asked me if we can share rice instead of bread. Overall everything my family ordered was on point. Everyone enjoyed their food. This restaurant is definitely expensive then most pho restaurants in the valley but it's a cute family owned restaurant with a great cook. My son and nephew kept asking us to get them fries. I said nope after dinner we can go down the street to get fries. I'm not spending 11 bucks on fries. So I asked the owner if their fries homemade or big portion? Why is it so expensive. She said it a big portion but not too big. So, I said does it come in half size because the kids wants fries but polly won't eat a big portion. She said no sorry. Then towards the end of our meal she said since it's your birthday we decided to give you guys free fries. In all honesty thank you so much for making the kids happy and filling their tummy with fries. Their fries were nothing special so I'm glad we didn't order it. However the dipping sauce that's homemade was delicious. My son is not into sauces. He doesn't dip his chicken nuggets or fries into any kind of sauces. But yesterday he tried their sauce and loved it. read more

I'm very picky about Pho and this is our go to place since moving to Chatsworth 3 years ago. Love love love!

A friend recommended this place and it is a keeper. When I pulled up the place was super busy. It took about 15 minutes to be seated, which is not bad and the service was great from the start. They have an extensive menu with lots of items. I usually eat the same thing whenever I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, I love bun. I ordered the bun with grilled pork and egg roll. The food came out very quickly and it was fresh and cooked to perfection. The pork had a beautiful texture. The egg rolls were super tasty and the vermicelli and salad mix was exceptional. A friend had the beef PHO with baguette and told me it was excellent as well. The ambience was great. There was a lot of energy in the room which holds a few dozen people. The prices were super fair and the quality was exceptional. I will be back for sure! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night with my pregnant wife. The restaurant is well decorated and clean. However , given its high rating the food is straight awful. The brisket had mostly fat in it and the steak didn't taste good. There were only 2 tables but the waiter was too occupied with another table or socializing in the back. Wanted to find a new place in the valley but this is not it. read more

Voted BEST of the Southland for San Fernando Valley and Ventura by the LA Times for 2023! Great family owned and authentic Vietnamese food with a diverse menu. They're known for having some of the best pho in the valley. Their broth is top-notch! A great place for Pho in the Chatsworth area. BBQ Pork Fresh Spring Rolls with a fantastic peanut sauce Bún Bò Hué (Spicy Hue's Beef) had a very flavorful broth that wasn't too spicy (Got medium spice level) It came with large rice vermicelli noodles. Cơm chiên sài gòn was a combination Saigon fried rice with shrimp, pork, Vietnamese sausage and mixed veggies. My absolute favorite!! It's a simple dish with complex flavors!! Attentive customer service. They have a large dining area. read more

I've beein wanting to try this place due to its good reviews and finally came to have dinner on a Friday night around 7:30ish with my fam. The place is big but I thought it was kind of dark on the inside but I think it is part of their ambience - like romantic, semi formal theme. The entire restaurant is neat and clean. The servers which I think are the ownere were nice and attentive. I was surprise to see thwir menu, they have so mich to offer at this place. They even have cajun seafood though we didn't tried that and went with the traditional Vietnames food instead. I loved their Pho, the broth is really good and very flavorful compared to other Pho place I've been in the valley. I also tried their rice dish beef fillet, it was good too, its on the sweet side, nit the typical shaken beef I've tried from other place. We tried their Taro and WOW, the best taro smoothie I've ever had. My husband also ordered this Thai fruit sheelt Gruel for our dessert, usually I am not a fan of coconut milk and ot anything sweet but then again this dessert was really delicious. I am so glad that we finally git to eat here and we will for sure come back! read more

I ordered this time the jackfruit salad and Combo Pho. Last time I stumbled upon this gem and they seated us just moment after they were closing at 9PM. (God bless their souls for feeding the hungry!) I ordered the mighty Oxtail and my friend ordered the beef stew with french baguettes. (No photos but take my word for it, those are their flagship.) I'd have to say I am blown away by their food every single time I come here. As soon as the order comes in, I can already smell the fish sauce stink/aroma. I knew this was gonna be good. The soup has a slight sweetness to it which is typical Southern pho flavor. (Hence the name Pho Saigon 1). They don't play games. The pho is packed with noodles to the point the onion garnish is not floating around in the pond of mouthwatering richness. They served the freshest basil and homemade charred chili oil crunch. The jackfruit salad is a surprising large order enough for 3 hungry people. Jackfruit tasted like piece of meat and the pork is sweet. Everything is fresh and the setting has the ambiance like you are in the old war lounge back in the '70s in Saigon/Ho Chi Min City. They play the 80s Vietnamese/Hong Kong instrumental music all day. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The service is faster than any fastfood restaurant and excellent. They don't have a small remekin/saucer for sauce dipping but who cares. The place is f'ing great! It is very relaxing. If you are a short person, sit at the table because the couch is low, you will sink. Bathroom is clean and place is big enough for parties and they have a small stage and reception area. Just let you know if you come at dinner, this place is freaking packed! read more

Came here because I had a sewing class across the street. So glad I did! The food was delicious. I got the charbroiled pork vermicelli and it was the one of the best I ever had. The pork was juicy and sweet, not dry at all. The egg rolls were crispy and yummy too! Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was pretty big, I went at 5pm so it wasn't busy at all. The ambiance is casual. There's free parking as well which is great too! Will definitely come back! read more

This place is our go to when we are in the valley! Anything you get here is amazing! First off it's a family owned place. Their menu is huge! Unlike some places that do a lot and do it ok this place no matter what you order it tastes fresh and delicious. Their phô broth is our favorite of any pho around. They also have crab boil too. The service is always great and friendly. The prices are great and not overpriced. Portions are always huge. Have never had anything bad from here. It is in a small strip mall on Devonshire but the place is huge. read more

First time coming here, service was quick and attentive. This place is pretty spacious and clean. The decorations and karaoke corner makes the place seem more lively. Aswell as their massive photo display of pho spices. I tried their pho bo vien. Broth was nice and hot. Very flavorful didnt need to add too much hoisin or sriracha. Like that they had disposable chopsticks vs the reusable slippery ones. Only con was their small bowl portion is too small for the price. Will come back if in the area to try their other dishes and smoothies. read more

Shrinkflation has hit! For the price of these entrees, you should definitively be getting more than 3-4 Oz of tofu, 2 mushrooms, and half an onion as the entirety of the entree. Same with the lemongrass imitation beef - 3-4 Oz of seitan plus some onions. LOL. That's all I have to say. If you look at the photo, you can see the size of the "entree" and that bit of lettuce and tomato above it... that's the complimentary salad that comes with it. It's nearly the same size. I mean... totally not worth the money, even if it is tasty. Also, a few times we got real beef instead of imitation beef, which was really annoying as we don't eat meat anymore. Funnily enough, the serving size was just as tiny. I think the only thing worth getting might be the pho, but even that has gotten smaller. Barely got any noodles on our last order and the cilantro was brown. read more

Truly the rudest people work here. Terrible service. And they don't even know what's in their food when you ask them. I received something completely different than what they said. There are much better pho restaurants read more

First off, let me just say that parking here sucks. There some street parking spots close by, but I can't imagine there being many options when the evening rolls around with people coming home from work. Walking in, the restaurant is pretty big. Probably the biggest Vietnamese restaurant in the Valley next to Asian Sisters on De Soto. The restaurant is a bit outdated with what looks to be a karaoke set up in one of the corners. This is a family owned business as it looks like the whole family was there when I visited. I walked in and immediately was hit with the Pho aroma. That's already a great thing. It was probably 1/4 full when I walked in around 1ish. Sat in one of the booths and placed my order for Pho Xe Lua and Bun Bo Hue to go. Waited about 5 minutes and the food came out. I can't really tell between a regular and large bowl anymore. Either way, I tasted the broth and it was delicious. This is before I added anything in to it. It was the classic pho taste with a slight sweetness to it. The noodles here seem to be a little bit thinner than other places I've been to. It was still fresh and chewy, so it didn't bother me. The meat however was hard. It wasn't tender and I'm thinking they are using a cheaper cut as I didn't taste much fat on it. The brisket had more flavor and was tender, but they cut it with the grain, so it was stringy and a little tough to chew. I wish they would cut against the grain to make the dish more enjoyable. There's pieces of tendon, trip and meatballs. Now, I haven't to every Pho place in the Valley, but I think it's safe to say that this is probably the best Pho in the Valley and competes with the SGV for sure. I'll update this review after I have the BBH for dinner. The service was attentive and I like that they came by and checked on me. read more

Was in the area, and based on Yelp reviews, I gave them a try. Got a ton of stuff to go: Oxtail Pho: I've had oxtail hundred's of times, just never in pho. The broth was pretty good. The meat needed to cooked a little longer, because if it's not fully cooked, the meat will stick to the bones and becomes difficult to get off. Filet Mignon Pho: Meat was very good. Egg rolls: Good, nothing special. Grilled pork: VERY good, I'd highly recommend. Beef banh mi: Not good. Not enough meat, not worth the price. read more
