Upon entering, there was a big wait but it went by quick! This is the kind of establishment that you kinda gotta know what you want by the time you are seated. They don't play around lol. The pho was amazing I got the flank steak and brisket and it was super delicious. I've stopped about 3 or 4 times since my first time coming. It is loud and crowded so if this isn't ur vibe I don't rec. however my experience here was a solid 10/10 read more

Very big bowls of soup - the pho was very good. Spring rolls were not good unfortunately the peanut sauce wasn't either. Some of the other plates looked good but most were there for the pho. Fast, casual and clean. read more

I had their pho number one with Egroll It was o big for one person and can be good for two Their customer service was fast and polite. For sure I willl come back read more

It was conveniently located next to 99 Ranch so we gave this pho place a try. Service was quick. I ordered the pho dac diet and I was pretty satisfied. My son ordered the fried rice yang chow and the portion was nice but he said he preferred my pho noodles! I like how there's ample parking and it didn't feel stressful to find a spot. However, the restroom may need a bit more attention, at least for the women's. However, most people don't go to a pho restaurant to go to the restroom! read more

Pho So 1 - Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The parking lot is big, but this is a busy center, so parking can be difficult. Walking in, it was busy! I saw 2-3 tables open and I was told to choose any open table. They had music on. I sat down and a few minutes later a server came over with some menus. Wowow! I will come back and order their pork spring roll. It is such a good price for three! The meat was well cooked with good flavors. The tofu was alright. I wouldn't order the tofu spring roll, it lacked flavor and crunch. The peanut sauce had the right amount of nutty flavor. read more

Food is amazing...Service not so much. ( at this location ) I would recommend going to the Devonshire location for the service. Fried egg rolls, chicken pho, Pork Chops, Spring Rolls are good! read more

Love this place. The service is good. Orders generally come out in minutes. And the best part...the pho broth, either beef or chicken is clear and delicious. Smells of cinnamon and spices are evident. Portion size is good, meat to noodle ratio is spot on. read more

I can't believe this place has such high ratings. We ordered the pho and eggrolls. The eggrolls were soaked in oil and tasted old. Must have been old oil that has not been changed or fried once too many times to warm it up. Back to Pho 21 for my viet food in the valley. read more

Pho Sol 1 is hands-down my favorite pho place of all time. I've tried so many dishes here--the rice plates, vermicelli bowls, and of course, the pho--and every single thing has been incredible. I haven't had a single bad meal yet! The broth is rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I even brought my picky Vietnamese friend here, and she loved it too--and she *hates* everything! That's how you know this place is legit. I've probably been here at least 20 times, and I'll keep coming back. The prices are great, the service is solid, and the food always comes out fast. Pho Sol 1 has my loyalty forever--I'm never betraying them! read more

Would've been 5 stars if more of the combination meats were fresh. Only the steak was raw and cooking in the broth. But excellent broth and nice chewy bouncy noodles. Being originally from LA, this spot is definitely my go to whenever I'm visiting ! Usually fast service and great prices for their servings. read more

Pho So 1 - 50. Combination pho: dac biet young coconut drink Vietnamese coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

We came on a Tuesday night for a double date, and it was quick and easy and delicious! The pho dac biet (house special) was delicious and the bun bo hue was just okay. The portions were reasonable but OH I wish we would have gotten a larger order of the #97 egg rolls which were so amazing! Would love to explore the menu a bit more, but I have this place down as a solid reliable pho place in the area. read more

Great portions, very quick with food, good food and reasonable pricing. Does get busy quick and once they take your order that's about how far the service goes. They do have everything you need at the tables which is convenient. I don't like how the open spoons are there for anyone to cough on or infect in a way, I did grab one that had a hair on it. Other than that I do recommend. read more

During our recent holiday trip to Los Angeles, it often rained, and the daytime temperatures hovered in the mid 50°F to low 60°F. The colder temperatures and wet weather made our hot noodle soup-loving appetites roar, but we were wary about driving further than within a 10-mile radius. My brother-in-law mentioned he wanted to do some marketing at Costco - Van Nuys, and we soon found ourselves at the Signature Plaza on Sepulveda Boulevard. Both my husband and brother-in-law were leaning towards Sam Woo BBQ, but I balked because we had just eaten Chinese food two days before. Although my brother-in-law resides in Los Angeles, he hadn't tried this local Vietnamese chain before, so they gave in to my "whining." The bright and open restaurant wasn't crowded when we entered, so we were seated with menus immediately. Within a few minutes, a server came by to take our order, but since this was our first visit, we needed more time to review the menu. We liked the well-organized menu and helpful colorful pictures. Also, we appreciated the warmer indoor temperatures because we had gotten soaked by the downpour going on outside. FOOD: -Chả Giò: Fried egg rolls filled with ground pork and served with lettuce, cucumber, mint leaves, and fish sauce. The exterior wrappers were crisp, bubbly, and chewy since they used rice paper and not wheat-based wrappers. These rolls were served hot from the kitchen, and we had to wait a few seconds to allow them to cool before chomping into them. $10.60 -Đặc Biệt Xe Lửa (trans: "train-size" or code for a massive bowl of connoisseurs' luxe combination): My brother-in-law and I chose this menu item since we couldn't decide on phở toppings. Phở Số 1's bowl contained a unique combination of rare steak, well-done flank steak, fatty brisket, soft tendon, and tripe. This massive bowl of steaming hot, flavorful broth with chewy and slurpable linguine-shaped rice noodles topped various beef cuts, warmed our bodies, and comforted our appetites. The portion size for its price was well worth it since I compared it to what we'd get in my hometown. $13.75 -Cơm Bì Chả Sườn: My porkaholic husband selected this rice plate as we recognized it as "a celebration of pork." The platter featured a warm bed of rice accented with a thin slice of grilled pork chop marinated in fish sauce and sugar, a wedge of steamed pork-egg meatloaf, and thinly shredded pork skin (rind). My husband was a bit disappointed that the pork chop was so thin that it was dry even though it had good flavor. The steamed pork-egg meatloaf was served at room temperature and had its characteristic medium-firm spongy texture. Another disappointment with this dish that my husband voiced was the dry and hard texture of the rice. $14.25 As we continued eating our lunches, the restaurant filled, and a short line of other hungry customers formed. It was great to see how popular this restaurant was, judging by its flavors, portions, value, and service. We'd gladly return for more. read more

I wish this place was closer to me!!!! Honestly such a classic spot to go to. Service is super quick and efficient. Once you are able to get a seat, your order is taken within 5 minutes and your food comes out less than 10 minutes after. I've only gone on weekends and definitely have had to wait, especially on a Saturday night. But they run a very efficient operation so the wait is never too long. Pho So 1 has the best pho broth ever!!!! None of the pho spots in LA come close. The egg rolls are also super tasty. I wouldn't say the ambiance is amazing or anything but this place is well worth trying! read more

May favorite pho place in SoCal. They have a few locations and they're all consistently good. I feel the stir fry dishes leave a little bit to be desired, but we go for the pho and the egg rolls and spring rolls. Highly recommend the egg rolls. They're sooo good! Service is super fast and the dining room is large. There is also a big, free parking lot as it is in a strip mall. read more

Pho So 1 is definitely my go to Pho restaurant in LA. After trying many pho shops in LA, I gotta say that this restaurant has s the most authentic flavor in their food. The pho broth is very aromatic and tasty. The bbqed pork over a rice is soooo good. Their porridge is great as well. The food comes out very quickly and the service is very efficient and friendly. The mall where Pho So 1 is located also houses 99 Ranch and Samwoo. This makes any visit to Pho So 1 to be very convenient. read more

The food here is ALWAYS CONSISTENT AND GOOD!! Service is quick. Someone is at your table seconds after you sit down.

Great job! read more

Confused why the #51 is not in a bowl. How am I supposed to mix everything without making a mess. It was a bit inconvenient.. I give this place a 3/10. Very difficult finding good Asian food in SFV. read more

Unacceptable and unhealthy takeout practice. When ordering pho to go, this restaurant gives you broth that has been sitting in plastic containers all day, rather than ladling fresh hot broth directly from the pot. I specifically asked for fresh broth at pickup, but was still given cold broth that had clearly been pre-packed in plastic. When I called to complain, the employee admitted they put the hot broth into plastic containers to "let it cool" which is not only misleading but also unsafe. Hot liquid in plastic can release harmful chemicals, and it defeats the purpose of ordering fresh food. read more

This restaurant is absolutely shameless. My husband and I eat at this place every week and always order the #74 meatball + beef. We always buy 4 portions each time. On August 30th, he drove an hour, like usual, from Santa Clarita to get the food. But when we got home and opened it, we found it was pork. I immediately called the restaurant (because I don't eat pork, and the meatballs are always for my husband). The person who claimed to be the manager was extremely shameless and kept shirking responsibility. First, he said we had ordered pork, then he said we could drive back to exchange it. I told him we live very far away, but he insisted it was my husband's mistake and tried to weasel out of it. His attitude was utterly shameless and disgusting. I started to get angry, but he kept talking nonsense, even saying, "I'm the manager here, what can you do about it?" At that point I got so mad that I dropped the F-word and hung up. Shockingly, he called back 4 times to tell me I shouldn't talk like that. The entire time, he never once apologized or admitted fault. This restaurant is beyond saving--so disgusting. With an attitude like yours, going out of business is only a matter of time. Remember this: if you had admitted your mistake from the beginning instead of denying it, no one would have treated you badly. But if this is how you behave as a person and in business, then fine--fuck you! read more
