The pho combo was excellent--generous portions with a good variety of meats, all cooked perfectly. The broth really stood out: rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. Definitely helps after a night out. Since it was morning, the staff greeted us immediately and sat us down. Typical fixings available on the table. And normal decor you see at most pho places. Recommend when you're in a pinch in the South Bay for pho. Helps that it's open at 8am! read more

Pho So 1 is one of my go-to spots for Vietnamese food. The pho is consistently excellent -- rich, flavorful broth, generous portions of meat, and perfectly cooked noodles.

Pho So 1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Gardena, California

First impression was just okay. Wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either. They got my order wrong (substituted egg noodles) but they did fix it which was much appreciated. I requested a seat away from the door especially since it wasn't very busy which wasn't met with the warmest response but they did accommodate. Overall not sure if I got a friendly vibe so I would say customer service and ambiance are just okay. Taste-wise it was good enough and it did satisfy the pho craving. On food alone I would probably give four stars and then remove a star for how service was. Would be open to trying it again to see if any of these are better the second time. read more

Pho So 1 - #6 small pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Gardena, California

Sour food and bad service. Don't recommend coming here. I ordered #52 Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong, and the entire dish (beef, noodles, etc) had a sour taste. I was skeptical but kept eating until I had a veggie that definitely was rotten. My friends agreed that their pho and bun were sour too. I was worried about getting food poisoning so I told the waitress about my bun, and she went on to saying that this is how their food tastes and that it was just my mouth... Finally after some back and forth she let me order something else. She later came back and explained that the chef goes gambling often and when he loses a lot of money, he ruins the seasoning of the food.... I've never been to a place where the workers tell their customers that it's their taste and not the food going bad that's the issue! And it's not right for the chef to ruin the food just because he had a bad day. read more

Pho So 1 - 52. Bún Chả Giò Thịt Nướng (Heo hoặc Bò) - weird sour taste :( - Vietnamese Near Me - Gardena, California

They sat us right away and they gave us a little time to chat until they asked us what our order was. I got the number one and my brother got the number 16 and they gave us a ton of veggies and it was sooooooooo good. I had no idea there was a pho so one so close to home! Next time my family want to go out I'm DRAGGING THEM here. They have a ton of sauces to compliment the food and the meat tasted sooo fresh and flavorful. Cannot wait to come back. The staff was also super friendly and efficient. Please don't skip this Cali gem. read more

April 4, 2025. Our first visit to this Pho So 1 location in Gardena. I've looked at it SO many times when in the area shopping at Japanese markets and never thought to stop here thinking I've got locations closer to home but noticed in Yelp postings that their menu was different and more extensive! We will definitely come back again to try their Cha Gio and other menu items, but at 9:30pm on a Friday night we were just there for dessert before heading home. It was 30 minutes before their closing time, and there were still a few tables with later night diners enjoying their meals. The place is very clean, open dining area with a room to the side if you have a larger party and want a section to yourselves. Nice! We were greeted and seated without any mention of when they were closing, which was cool. When we received the menus, we let our server know we were just stopping by to check out desserts and asked for her best recommendations. She provided 2, one of which I had already been eyeballing. Hubby ordered #109, SƯƠNG SA HẠT LỰU: Jelly & tropical coconut milk. A pink drink of sorts that was refreshing and flavorful! The jelly slices were a vibrant color and there were pieces of something in it, tasty but we aren't sure what they were. Maybe apple pieces soaked in something or an unfamiliar tropical fruit? It was good! I had the #112, CHE BA MAU: Special three-color dessert.not much else in the description but based on the pics, I wanted to give it a try! To my delight it had sweet red beans in it, possibly a mung bean based layer, coconut milk sauce and strips of green jelly slices flavored with pandan. Wow! This was delicious and I'd definitely order it again! For Americans who haven't had beans in their desserts, don't shy away. My husband was leery of it years ago until he learned. It's delicious! The entire dessert was refreshing - I can only imagine how much better it would be on a sunny afternoon! Why, oh why don't the Granada Hills, Van Nuys or my original Reseda locations have dessert items on their menus? I'll be going in with photos to show and ask them. I would love to have access to all of these additional options on a regular basis! And the owner/manager was a friendly guy, said he's the brother of the manager of Granada Hills? Super engaging and seems to love what he does. If you haven't been before, I highly recommend that you give them a try! You won't be sorry. April 4, 2025.
