I haven't been here for a long time and I m glad I gave them another chance. During this visit I was very satisfied with the amount of meat they put in my combination pho. Service was ok. Inside was clean. I will repeat.

Called in a Friday afternoon pickup...plenty of parking and no hassle. Got the pho combination and fresh spring rolls. Took it home, poured the pho into a bowl, and the broth was STILL hot... Loaded with herbs, veggies, and that good stuff. One slurp and boom...hit the spot! Then I dipped that spring roll straight into the peanut sauce... GAME OVER.. Add some hoisin and Sriracha to the pho. Definitely one of the better-known spots for a reason. Gets packed when the weather turns cold, and I totally get why. Solid, satisfying pho!

So glad my husband found this place! We were greeted once we walked in. We waited maybe 5 minutes until a table was free. Very comfy and homey restaurant. Kind of felt like a family just eating all together. I ordered the brisket, steak and tendon Phô and an order of shrimp spring rolls. Wow!! The broth was so delicious and flavorful. Spring rolls were delicious! We will be back for sure.

My favorite pho spot in the valley. I get the #12. It's always busy and for good reason! The 99 ranch being next door makes it a perfect after groceries treat.

All the pho so 1 are alittle different I like the amount of parking and how easy it is to get a table Food came out lighting fast and piping hot Broth was lighter Tons of meat Perfectly cooked noodles Solid pho spot Can't say it's the best in the valley but definitely a contender

Egg Roll
Sally N.

This place is so yummy. They open up at 10:00am. The servers are very prompt and food was absolutely delicious. Cashier was very kind as well. If it wasn't 101° this week, I may have gone back today.

Bun with beef
Tim T.

I come here often and forget to update my review. When I walk in, I know what number and how to order. The numbers haven't changed. The staff has but they are all professional. Food is always consistent and although a day had passed I cannot say that my mouth doesn't water thinking about it. The #51 bowl with beef hits the spot. The Phö with tendon is phÖnamenal. The best is the pork eggrolls and although I'm not a huge fan of pork, you have to get these. It's always clean. Always fun and well worth the drive to come sit here for a satisfying meal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Egg Rolls
Sarah S.

Best egg rolls in the area. Super crispy in all the right ways, light, airy, and comes with the correct veggies to wrap them in. I highly recommend getting this for the table as it comes with 6 rolls. The pickled carrots/radishes, cucumbers, mints, lettuce and the sweet fish sauce. I'd come back just for that. Service is ridiculously quick. My appetizer came before I even ordered my main course and I love it! The pho was nicely portioned and they were generous with meat. Can't go wrong with any of rice and meat dishes--I got grilled pork which had all the veggies included on the side. Menu has a picture of few of the dishes including this one. The restaurant itself was clean and you could tell from the tables and sauces on each table. They have tv playing in the background and it's a relaxed environment. Service was attentive. This place can get pretty packed during lunch/dinner rush. But it's right next to ding tea and 99 ranch market which is convenient. Lots of parking in the huge plaza. Highly recommend!

Still my favorite pho shop in all of the valley! The service is always spot on. The food always tastes amazing. The inside is always the same, the layout works.

Spring rolls with shrimp and pork
Jennifer O.

Great food and very kid-friendly! This was our first time here and we mostly chose it for convenience after shopping at 99 Ranch next door. It ended up being a really pleasant surprise. They were incredibly considerate toward our son - wiping down the high chair before bringing it over and setting him up with his own bowl, utensils, and water cup. Those small details really stood out. It was busy, but our server Phu was attentive and thoughtful throughout. We ordered the spring rolls, a bowl of pho, and a bun bowl with egg rolls and marinated pork. Portions were huge and the food was good. The marinated pork was slightly dry, but everything else was solid. Easy payment at the register when you're ready. Very pleased with both the food and the service - we'll be back!

Forever a classic. Been coming here since I was a little girl and will come here when I have my own little girl. This time I came here after the rainy week we had, usually get a pho tai these days but today was feeling my old favorite (pho ga). The broth was so flavorful yet delicate I opted not to put anything except thai basil and bean sprouts in today (and a little bit of nuoc beo! IYKYK.) Service is fast and food comes out piping hot by a man who likely has no nerve endings in his fingers. It's cool to see how they've changed over the years, but also to see the things that have stayed the same. I hope they're around for at least another 20 years of my lifetime.

Went to Pho So 1 on a rainy day -- perfect pho weather -- and the place was packed, so we waited a little before being seated. The service was pretty good, especially considering how busy it was. I ordered the pho, which was solid overall, though not my favorite. There were plenty of noodles, but I would've liked a bit more meat. Both the meat and noodle quality were decent. The broth, while comforting, fell a little flat and was a bit too salty for my taste. I'd rate it a solid 6.5/7 out of 10. Their menu is huge, though, so I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying something different next time.

Arev L.

Walking in at 12:15. I got the last table. Phew. People starting to form a line. The place is packed ans its clean. No BGM. Service is fast and food served pretty fast too. However, my grilled pork is a little different. Some pork were crisp abd dried like a jerky not crispy ( looking different ) the other part of the pork is soft and juice. Egg rolls is good but not the same with other locations and sweeter. Love that this location came with this kind of bowl. Love the bowl.

Are there Vegan options?

Sorry, no

Does the bun Bo hue have pork in the broth?

It's made with pork and beef bones , & it has pork meat in the soup

Can we place an online order for takeout?

I don't believe they have an online ordering system. It's best to call your order in if you don't want to wait

Are they now allowing indoor dinning?

Yes, open for dine in.

Are they open for dine in?

Yes, we dined in on Saturday. It is with limited seating though.

Are they open during "safer at home"? I tried calling them but no answer so I'm guessing no?

Hi Catherine, We're currently closed for the time being but we'll most likely be open soon.. maybe early or mid April.… 

Do they make Subs?

I believe they do make Vietnamese sandwiches. I don't go to Pho restaurants to eat sandwiches though. I would go to a Sandwich place for that

Do they sell only the bone broth?

Yes, I'm keto and I order the brith only alot

Are there any noodle substitutes? Like veggies or konjac shirataki noodles?

Not that I know of. But you can definitely get some blanched veggie.

Is there a vegetarian based pho?

Yes! Ask for veggie broth!

Does the pho contain MSG?

MSG is naturally contained in a large variety of foods including tomatoes and mushrooms. The answer is almost always yes. Monosodium glutamate is not any dangerous or worse than salt and is a good example of not believing everything you're told. The…

5/5 stars! This place is the definition of a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese…read morefood without the high prices, this is it. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pho had a rich, flavorful broth, the bún bò Huế packed the perfect amount of spice and depth, the spring rolls were fresh, the nem nướng was grilled perfectly, and the bánh bèo was one of the best I've had. The portions are generous, the prices are incredibly affordable, and the food tastes like it was made with care. It's definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall spots that deserves way more attention. I'll absolutely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

This is a small Vietnamese spot out in the Northridge/Reseda area that my girlfriend likes and has…read morebeen going to for a while. She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either. That said, I'd still come back because my girlfriend enjoys it, the family is sweet, and there aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots I've tried out in the Valley yet. It's one of those neighborhood places that's nice to have around, even if it's not something I'd personally go out of my way for.

My partner and I were craving banh mi, scoured Yelp for the place people rave about, and Vui Ve…read moreearned every bit of that hype. The pork banh mi was so good. The pork was deeply flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the pickled veggies were crisp and bright. But the cup of pork broth for dipping is what took it over the edge. It was incredible, and I now expect it with every banh mi for the rest of my life. Vui Ve has ruined other sandwiches for me and I regret nothing. The space is cute, simple, and communal, with decor that feels thoughtful without trying too hard. Our server, whose name I wish I had caught, was a hero. She was seating guests, handling pickup orders, prepping food, serving, and clearing tables, basically a one woman show. She still made time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. Kind, sweet, and hustling like crazy. Loved every minute of it. If you see a pork broth cup on the menu, say yes.

I was excited when they brought the bowl with a generous portion of oxtail. I started with the broth, which was super flavorful...a good start. Then I tried a piece of the oxtail. Hmmmm... did I mentioned they were generous with the pieces? I think it had promise, but they needed to be cooked for quite a bit longer. The meat was not only still bland but it was also still tough and unyielding, which is interesting giving the broth was so tasty. What a let down. I went in for a late lunch (around 2p) and quite a few people were still coming in. I also noticed a lot of to go orders coming through. Clearly this place has a following. Servers were kept busy, so no time for chit chatting. Not super friendly but polite. I don't know if it was just an off day for them or not, but I'm willing to give them another try.
