Pho So 1 - #4 and #12 mmm - Vietnamese Near Me - Reseda, California

Horrible service just like what everybody else said. service is terrible. The jerk who wears glasses he's the worst. Try to scam 1$ outta me for some extra meat and he didn't even give me extra meat and TELL me "what you have is already extra, this is how we works here" such bullshit. This is not my first time come to eat at this place. The first time was bad too we Ask him for more onions and he got an attitude. Wtf?!!! Well I decide to give them another chance and this time it's even worse. Same guy same bullshit cheap as hell and terrible service. Luckily he's coworker handled it the right way did not charge for the extra so I let this shit go. I was so ready to fight him for my rights That I refuse being fooled by this jerk. Will not go back there again. Next door Pho999 service is much better to me. read more

Best bowl of Pho. Has good broth, great tasting cuts of meats, good noodles. Among the places where I'v enjoyed Pho(Bay area, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and Many many in Los Angeles). These guys do it the best. I prefer this one over Van nuys, this one gets the taste bit more to my liking. read more

I'm originally from Long Beach and have my fair share of different types of pho so it's not easy impressing me but I must say I absolutely love the pho here! The broth is savory, a lot of thought, love, and work was put into it. The cuts of meat were of quality and they have a broad menu of drinks and rice dishes. The rice dishes caught my eye so I will be revisiting this place to try them out if the pho doesn't win me over first. The service here is horrible but the pho is well worth the tolerance. read more

I made my husband come here once a week when I was pregnant, and we're still not sick of it! Best broth recipe I have ever tried. OH, and the Thai iced tea is the best I have ever had! HANDS DOWN! Eat pho, be happy =) read more

Absolutely the best Pho in the San Fernando Valley. Not only that, but it's super cheap!!! My friend and I go almost every week. read more

They have good shrimp noodle and shrimp rolls Ok service pretty decent Tasty boba smoothies read more

I believe they have the best soup base of all the Pho places around SFV. great prices too. The only thing negative is the parking lot that could be a zoo when it gets busy. read more

Service has gone down. We don't expect much from a pho joint besides speed and some attention of which both are lacking here. This USED to be the best pho in the valley. Pho came out lukewarm and noodles were very hard. read more

This is by far my favorite Pho restaurant only because their Pho is actually super good. But, their service is not good at all. They can be rude and at times it can take a good while to get their attention. My bf doesn't like coming here at all cause to him their customer service sucks. read more

Great service... fast and tasty Vietnamese foods! The beef pho broth here is legit pho! The vermicelli noodles with egg rolls are amazing too. I'm a foodie and I like #1 pho. It has everything in it (tendons, tripe,etc). Must admit, I haven't been to a bad Pho So 1. They're all very good! read more

Order two pho plates with beef ball and they forgot about my beef balls! Man how you going to forget that!!

Been going here since I was a kid so obligatory 5 star and the food is consistently well-made that makes me surprised Pho 999 hasn't closed yet. I generally get pho, sometimes a rice-dish, maybe an appetizer if I'm feeling promiscuous. Only complaint I have is that a couple of the waiters get the order wrong or many times don't bring the side that come with the Pho Bowl. Have had to remind them multiple times, which is tedious. read more

Pho-gettable!! We and a group go to several restaurants of choice around the valley and have eaten here several times. The Rare steak Pho is reasonable and flavorful, the spring rolls (number 91) are awesome. The service is terrible which is why 2stars today and last time. Ordered Spring Rolls they never came... we asked where they were after 30 minutes "oh, we ran out"! I guess they ran out of coke as I didn't get that either. Then it was all still included in the bill at the end. There are plenty of choices for Vietnamese, don't let your bad service kill your business as the food is pretty good! read more

I'm here at least once a week! They have the most friendly workers, the pho broth is the best I've had in the valley! I've introduced this place to many friends and they all agree is delicious! You won't regret eating here read more

The best. Alswaya get chicken pho and egg rolls and shrimp fried rice and yea they're the bomb! Fast service.

Ordered a veggie soup. And it ended up having strips of chicken in there. Worst place ever. I would not recommend anyone going. People are rude. Service is pretty decent. But I wouldn't go here if you was a specific order. read more

Ordered three #6s to go. Got three #5s. Broth was ice cold. Had to nuke for 5 minutes each to get the broth hot enough to cook the meat. Did not taste nearly as good as I've tried when I've eaten inside. Live less than a mile away but would rather drive to Sepulveda to eat pho. Disappointed. read more

This is THE Vietnamese restaurant for your pho, no doubt. I am a little indifferent on the rice plates though. I've definitely tasted better rice plates but hey, no one can like everything on a menu right? I absolutely love their beef broth and vegetable/ chicken broth for noodle soup. I will always be helping after filling myself on an extremely affordable bowl of MSG, salt, and Vietnamese love. The service, like mostly all Vietnamese restaurants, is pretty dang horrible but its ok, its a Vietnamese restaurant. The place seems dirty at times, especially their restroom. I come here for the food, not the environment. Nice fish though. read more

I decided to have some Pho tonight for dinner since the bf wasn't home... I felt like some comfort food to ease me through my allergies & end my lazy day on a high note. Since I've moved into Northridge and live much closer to this Pho So 1 now, I called in my order -- probably didn't need to as their service has always been very quick. The phone process was just a bit disappointing -- it was so noisy in the background that I could barely hear the person taking my order! Plus, his phone manners weren't exactly stellar. Driving the 1 1/4 mile to the restaurant, sure enough, half my order was ready, but I had to wait a few minutes for the other half that was lost in translation over the phone. The place was bustling with business as usual, but they still managed to get the food out quick. Mr. Cashier wasn't very friendly but nut rude either. I like the cashier guy over at the Sepulveda/victory branch better though. In fact, the food in general, though same owner, just taste a bit better at the Sepulveda/Victory branch too. If only I still lived near that one.... Either way, this Pho So1 still has good food. At home I broke into my yummy soup -- w/c was missing a lil something in its spice, but otherwise 'oh-so-delicious'! I'm always grateful that the accompaniments -- the sprigs of basil and other veggies -- are given in big quantities! I also ordered 3 pcs. of their egg rolls -- w/c is remarkably yummy too! I just wish I would have ordered the palm seed & coconut jelly drink too! Overall, it was a satisfying meal! Can't go wrong with this Pho, and I definitely recommend it! read more

This is my kid's favorite restaurant, and my wife and I love it as well. Many years ago, the first time we went, it had a C rating in cleanliness, but we kept coming back anyway because the broth was so flavorful and the noodles so good. I think it's a B now. I actually get the Lemon Grass (#57) chicken over rice almost every time I come and would highly recommend it. They also do a great Vietnamese coffee. The service isn't especially friendly or anything, but it's efficient. And once when I brought the boys there only to discover I'd forgotten my wallet, they told me to go ahead and order anyway and just pay the next time I came in. Which we did the very next week. One trick: we get there before 6 so we never have to wait. It fills up fast and people are perfectly willing to wait for a table. Which tells you something. read more

I've been coming here with my family ever since I was little, so it's definitely my go-to place for Pho in the valley. I always get the same thing, rare steak. Their rice dishes (com tam) and egg rolls are also tasty as well! Occasionally I get their desserts (che), but they aren't exactly the best out there. My parents are really picky with Vietnamese food, so if they like this place it must mean its pretty good. They do have their off days with the broth and such, but this is probably one of the best Pho places in the valley. My parents like to order it to-go, buy extra noodles at the market, and cook it at home. Somehow we're able to feed 6 people with just 4 orders of Pho. read more

I've reviewed many pho restaurants and I'm pretty tough on them. If you have the word "pho" in the name of the restaurant, your pho better be legit and authentic. I came here on a Thurs am and ordered a small bowl with rare beef, tendon and tripe (my usual). It came out super fast. The broth was super hot which I appreciate. Unfortunately, the broth was super super salty. I tried to balance it out with the bean sprouts, veggies and two lime wedges. I couldn't fix the flavor. Maybe the chef was a bit excited so I will give it another try and update my review. For this visit, I give it three stars. read more

The pho here is the best I have had in the valley this far. I stumbled upon this place when I was going to get shaved ice and smoothies at the other shop located in the same building (also fantastic). After seeing some of the food other customers had ordered I decided I would be returning for dinner! I ordered takeout for my family and was not disappointed. The customer service was great, food was fresh, delicious, and huge portions!!!! The restaurant was also clean and I appreciated the bowls in which they pack the Togo noodles. I always hate having to combine everything in the styrofoam large cup thing when I'm out of town and don't have any dishes, so the big bowls were a niceWe ordered 3 kinds of pho and the lemongrass chicken with rice. Everything was amazing and we had a ton left over! Only thing you should know is the menu posted on here is not the same as the current one, as it has recently been updated. So if you call asking for the #63 make sure it is the right #63. We will be returning to Pho So 1. read more

Great Pho joint. Went here with my wife and a friend on a recommendation. The Pho left me full and satisfied and the egg rolls were super crispy. I will definitely be back. read more

The pho is delicious and I keep coming back. However their customer service is very terrible. I always go with that in mind because I really enjoy the pho. read more

Best pho in town but also the worst customer service in town. The workers literally turn their heads away from me as they do not want to serve me my extra onions, lime, and extra noodles. Advice: Order a large bowl and ask for extra bowl and extra noodles. Proceed to pour some of the large pho broth into the extra bowl and add extra noodles. Fills up two people and comes out to $9.70!!! No wonder they hate us... :) read more

Bomb my go to spot for pho every time, great price for what you get and always fills me up

the food was good don't get me wrong, but the main guy who wears an airpod completely ignored us while we were ordering & came back with small sizes when we said large & then charged us for 3 large bowls of pho instead of the 2 small. read more

So good! I love the pho đac biet here so much- it's my comfort food. I basically live and breathe pho haha! Kudos to the restaurant!! It reminds me of home lol read more

Food is great. Service is minimal at best. Cash is better, but they take credit cards. Park in the back. Sometimes parking will be difficult, but it's worth it. There's a great boba drink place right next door. Love them too! read more

Looking for pho on a rainy day and this place was awesome! There's plenty of parking in the back so no need to worry about that

The pho was ordinary, the noodles were too soft for me yet the soup tastes fine. However I am not satisfied with the service. Trying to get their attention was a challenge and they weren't so delightful. read more

I think this is the BEST pho and pho so 1 restaurants in the valley. They extended to included a bolba area a few years back. Parking can be difficult at times during business hours but not so bad later on. Wish they had late hours, would be great to come here after a late gig or movie. Always get a cafe su da. The pho with everything and vermicelli noodles is the best here in my honest opinion. I'm Vietnamese, trust me. read more

Really fast service. Food was on the table within 3 minutes of ordering. Prices are very reasonable. Food is great, best pho place in the valley by far. read more

This place is great, my favorite is the beef brisquette Pho. I have several vietnamese freinds and they all say this is as authentic as you get. It is clean! The place isn't fancy and they have no idea about customer service but it all evens out with the really low prices. Oh also the beef is very authentic in that they leave the connective tissue on the beef, taste great but if your not used to it it may turn you off BUT don't let it, its healthy and taste amazing! A must try if you like Pho! read more

Eat It OR Beat It? **EAT IT!!** Living in OC... you know where to get the best Pho... and without a doubt, that's in Westminster/Bolsa. However, there are other options just as good as the Pho restaurants in W/B which happens to be, Pho So 1! The broth here is savory and does not lack in flavor. You can tell they don't water the broth as the night goes on! Another way you can tell this is the best Pho in town... there are always lines! So for all you 818'ers... come to Pho So 1! This is as close as you will get to W/B! CONCLUSION: Lots of parking in the back. Order whatever you would normally get at a Pho restaurant... Rare steak with tendon or without... andor their vermicelli with grilled beef/pork. Everything is delicious here!... for the 818 that is. I say, EAT IT!!! read more

One of my valley gems! I love it here, was introduced by my boyfriend and now it is my favorite! I get the shrimp pho with extra lemon and cilantro. They're fast and affordable. I love going in rainy weather and don't mind at all that it gets packed they have good boba too read more

Pho So 1, you are oh, SO beaucoup and me love you long, LONG time! First of all, I'm a white guy, so I've never eaten cold rice and a few lumps of rat meat on the Ho Chi Minh trail, the way some of the many old-school Vietnamese people eating here probably have, but I HAVE eaten enough pho to float a battleship. One of the good ones, too, like The USS New Jersey--not the crappy ones named for "right to work" states. This place has THE BEST pho I've had anywhere in Southern California and yes, that does include quite a few of them in places like Westminster, Chinatown, Rosemead and San Gabriel. For years my favorite pho in the entire USA was Pho 79 in Philadelphia's Chinatown, but I think Pho So 1 has eclipsed them now. Caution, though: there are several Pho So 1 stores in SoCal and I have tried them but they do NOT rank up here in the stratosphere like the one on Reseda Blvd. I don't know if it's the original store or not but I quickly point out to you that it is unequaled, even by its sister stores. Not only is the entire menu outstanding but the value is downright amazing. I've tried the pho, the bun (noodle dishes), the rice dishes, the porridges, the curry dishes and even some of the fancy "cook your own" table-top bbq dishes and they're uniformly off-the-hook excellent, authentic and fresh. And did I mention CHEAP?!!! Consider this: I once brought six friends here for dinner, each of them big, strong, young and athletic. We had appetizers, soups, bun, rice dishes and several of them had smoothies, too. We left feeling stuffed, satisfied and oh, so good. The entire tab came to less than $75, WITH tax and a 20% tip, because the service that day was quite good. Service is spotty, as it is in many immigrant ethnic dining establishments. This is Reseda, not Beverly Hills, though, and I've come to think of the sometimes SEEMINGLY rude, inattentive and sometimes just weird service experience at such restaurants to be part of "the show," part of the entire gestalt of the place. Often, there is a cultural relativism at play--or a language barrier--that can account for 95% of such misunderstandings, though sometimes a lazy jerk is just a lazy jerk--in any language or culture. A few suggestions: do NOT come to eat dinner here without ordering the egg rolls. Sure, the spring rolls are also excellent. But the EGGROLLS, dear yelper, are one of the singular reasons we live in Los Angeles. They are FABULOUS, served with a heaping mound of lettuce leaves, fresh basil, fresh mint, a few other unidentifiable fresh herbs, spears of carrot and cucumber. You wrap one of the piping hot eggrolls inside one of the lettuce leaves, insert various herbs, cukes, carrots and dip into the bowl of very pungent fish sauce that is served with it. Like heaven. An order of those is less than $5 (as of this writing) and is a meal unto itself, but it'll always be best shared with friends so you can have room for some pho or other foods. For the record, fish sauce isn't made of fish, it's made FOR fish and depending on how it's made and how long it's been fermented, can be anywhere from sweet and mild (like theirs) to knock your socks off ODORIFIC. I'm a Pho Special Combo #1 guy--some of every kind of beef, including tripe, tendon, well-done flank, rare flank, brisket, meatballs. Just heaven, though I don't like ANY kind of pho if the weather is hot and sunny. It's October 4th as I write this--the very same day old General Vo Nguyen Giap, bane of the French and US forces who fought wars in Vietnam, died at the age of 102--and it's the first night in six months here in L.A. that is cool and windy enough for me to actually WANT pho. Feel free to differ with me on that peculiarity but a big, HOT bowl of broth and other goodies isn't every day fare here in Southern California unless the weather is playing ball. One more pho-related thing: pho is always served with fresh basil leaves, onions, lime wedges, and raw bean sprouts, which you put into the soup where they cook in the hot broth while cooling it. This place stopped serving onions for some reason (very thinly sliced raw onions), so ask for some onions because they do make a difference. Avocado smoothies seem to be the flavor of choice, especially among the many younger Asian people dining here but I just can't seem to wrap my head around that and haven't taken the plunge just yet. One last thing: they've opened up a shaved ice/boba/coffee shop next door and it was very good, especially for those who think most shaved ices are too sweet. I LOVE Vietnamese sweetened hot coffee and theirs is excellent. I don't quite understand why but restaurants this good and this inexpensive tend to disappear or get bought out by some heartless corporation then morph into something lame (though this one is busy most hours of the day), so EAT HERE NOW before it becomes Charlie's VC Olive Garden, Sizzrer of Saigon, or worse yet--another El Phollo Loco. read more

Great accidentally walked in for soup thought it was from this place ... but was really good glad I stumbled into this place...
