Friendly service, attentive, kinda small inside, and clean. Food was amazing, tasted delicious. Some patrons seemed like they were regulars which was cool. I'd totally come back and try other things. Not pictured are a Vietnamese coffee my bestie got, a strawberry lemonade my son got, and I got the special lychee drink (YUM)! read more

Very good food, but the prices here are astronomical. I ordered by phone because I was driving and didn't have the ability to do it online. I was shocked when I went in to pick up that my order (a grilled pork banh mi, an order of egg rolls, and an iced coffee) was freaking $32!! I didn't get an itemized receipt, so once I got back to my car, I went to their website to look up prices. 4 egg rolls are $12.50. That's $3 per egg roll! The sandwich is $11 and the coffee is $6. The kicker is that there's a combo--sandwich and coffee--for $15. They could've saved me some money, but they chose to not to in order to make a few extra bucks. Their prerogative, but in this economy, not cool to not help out. The result: a customer who's not coming back and who's posting about it to warn others. I normally don't do this because I'm aware that mom and pops are struggling. It's also possible that the menu prices on their website are out of date and they did give me the combo price, but THIRTY-TWO DOLLARS (!!) for a sandwich (great bread and tasty but sweet pork, a little underwhelming on the fillings overall), some egg rolls (with enough lettuce for each one, as well as sauce and do chua, but also a little underfilled), and a 16 oz cup of coffee with ice and condensed milk is pretty crazy. I can get the same meal nearby for at least $5 less or find other types of food that'll feed more people for the same price. read more

While the food is good and tasty, the grilled pork lacks the char that other Vietnamese places have. It's coated in more of a wet marinade. The fish sauce is just clear, lacking any garlic, carrots/daikon. Overall, while the food is good, it does not really stand out amongst other Vietnamese restaurants. This review is based on the dry vermicelli dish, the pho might be better. read more

Parking: The place is located in a plaza. You won't have trouble finding a space to park. Inside: It's a small and cozy mom and pop shop that gives at home vibes. The inside has a few booth and table seatings. I would say no more than 15 tables total. Phở Tái Sách/ Pho w/ Rare Steak and Tripe (regular): The pho bowl came with a huge size portion of noodles, soup, rare steak and tripe. On top they garnished it with green onions, cilantro and thinly sliced white onions. The meat they used is very thinly sliced and tender. The tripe was also cooked well. If you have never had tripe before I would describe it as having a super mild taste and it's mostly there to adds texture. It tastes really great too because t soaks up the broth flavor. If you like chewy noodles or mushrooms with a bit of bite, you might like tripe. The pho noodles they used are the ones I love the most. It's a thin pho noodle and they cooked them perfectly. The broth is clear, has a good depth of flavor, not overly greasy and the salt amount they added is perfect. On the side they give you a plate of other garnishes, beansprouts, chili peppers, lime, and basil which you can add to your hearts content. Spring rolls: I loved these a lot. They were very fresh and stuffed. Inside the spring roll is shrimp, sliced pork, lettuce, basil, and vermicelli. This is served with a side of peanut sauce. Loved that the sauce had chunks of peanuts for crunch. Overall: All the staff are very friendly, and the pho tastes homemade and authentic. Definitely a solid go-to when you're craving something warm and comforting. I'm so glad I found this lovely gem! I can't wait to come back again. PSA - They offer vegan pho bowls and vegetarian spring rolls and egg rolls. read more

Very unassuming restaurant in the plaza with walgreens and del taco. The food does not taste like authentic Vietnamese. I ordered the grilled pork chop with rice and what I received was a smothered pork chop that is not grilled. The pork has a strange taste to it. If you are in the area and really need a Vietnamese food fix, I guess you can go here... read more

Pho Vietnam Kitchen - Does not seem like a grilled pork chop... - Vietnamese Near Me - West Covina, California

I got their combo #1 and a side of grilled pork, portions were a bit small based off what they were charging- especially the pho itself. The grilled pork was good, full of flavor. Pho was good as well but nothing out of the ordinary. They barely give you any meat in there though, and the bowl was pretty small. Maybe im just used to the big pho bowls. Probably wont return, as i can get a better bang for my buck at other places. read more

Whenever I come into my hometown I still hit up old pho spots whenever I can, and this is one of them. Family owned for over 10 years, I miss my lady owner friend who would smile at me and mom already knowing what we usually order. Today I found out that nice lady is now retired, and left the business to her other family. spending her days cooking and caring for her grandkids. Good for her! The food is still as good as I remember and this time they added banh mi to the menu! read more

This spot is always poppin! It's a small, hole in the wall, in the best way possible. I always enjoy the food - I usually like to get their vermicelli bowls with beef, egg roll and I add shrimp. The spring rolls and lemongrass wings are favorites also. I love fish sauce and they give a nice portion for the bowl. They get busy during lunch rush and I've seen long wait times during the dinner. read more

7/10 Got the pho tai and crispy egg rolls. Pho was good and the broth had good flavor. Slightly different notes from what I'm used to, but better than most standard pho places. Portion size was a little small for a regular, but that's just me. Egg rolls were crispy and hot which was nice. Great local pho spot and I was gonna give this place a 7.5, but I got a stale fortune cookie read more

My wife and I love Pho Vietnam. We are regulars. We love the Pho of course, but their Vietnamese egg rolls are really delicious.

I was drawn into Pho Vietnam Kitchen because of the poster of their drinks on the window. We had already eaten, so we just ordered 3 drinks to go. The full menu looked delicious though! Unfortunately, I will have to rate this experience with a 1 star. My family and I had to wait over 20 minutes for them... I was tempted to just cancel my order and get a refund. The wait left a bitter taste in my mouth. Finally sipping on my drink wasn't even satisfying. My lychee drink was alright. A bit tart but balanced by the mixed jellies. read more

Small joint tucked away in a plaza, plenty of parking with shared stores. We walked in for lunch and it wasn't exactly too busy, so we were seated right away. It seemed like this may be a family owned business, so they are limited in their employees. It did take awhile for us to order our food, and once we did order, it took even a longer while for our food to arrive at the table. While we were waiting for our food, we even noticed that the kitchen behind us had many Cantonese speakers. So that already made me think that this maybe Chinese owned? Once we got our pho, I had the regular rare beef pho and my bf got their pho special. Trying the broth first, it felt like it was missing something. It didn't really taste like authentic pho broth, but tasted more like soup. The beef was also really thin and the noodles were okay. Although, the overall flavor and taste didn't feel like authentic pho broth. We also ordered these spring rolls with pork instead of shrimp. Those were pretty good! Although the peanut sauce didn't really taste like peanut, but it was rather dark and... not the same lol. Overall, this joint is probably something that could suffice your cravings, but there are better options to have in the SGV area. read more

Pho Vietnam Kitchen has been reliable for good Vietnamese food. The food's tasty and service is quick. We ordered takeout tonight, and food was still good. The large pho seemed more like a regular portion, but was still tasty. Banh mi could use some work, and chicken wings were kinda small, but flavors were good. Whenever we've dined in person, it's been good. Plenty of parking & reasonable prices. read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming to this spot for years! It is by far one the best, cleanest, and tastiest places in west Covina. Obviously their pho and bahnmi is top tier. But if you're looking for something else their French style diced beef or vermicelli with a Thai tea, vietnamese iced coffee or any one of their hand made drinks are perfect for a hot day. The service is always very attentive and kind. I couldnt recomend this place enough, honestly a hidden gem. read more

Looking for a good pho in the West Covina area has proven to be a challenge, especially with all of the other great Asian food in the area. So when I found Pho Vietnam Kitchen with a handful of positive reviews, I was optimistic that I had found a good place. I came by with a +1 on a Sunday evening to this restaurant located on the intersection of Amar and Azusa. And driving into the shopping center, there were plenty of parking spaces available. With this, I initially believed the restaurant would be empty. But to my surprise, the entire restaurant was almost full. Taking a look at the menu, the items offered were exactly what you'd expect: a variety of pho options, vermicelli bowls, rice plates, and a selection of Asian-inspired drinks. But what surprised me was the price for the food given. For this experience, I chose to try a Large Combo Pho which was $14.50 at the time of this review. And after receiving the bowl, I was happy to see a large variety. Ingredients-wise, the noodles made up about 60% of the food, the meat made up 30%, and the extra garnishes made up the last 10%. Although I would have liked just a tad more meat to balance out the amount of noodles, the portion of meat was fair. I was able to identify the steak, tripe, tendon, and beef tendon balls. But with the portion of meat given, I only received one beef ball, a small strip of tendon, and a small strip of tripe. Unfortunately, there did not appear to be any flank in the soup. These being said, $14.50 for a bowl of this size in the West Covina area is well below the average. And with the almost balanced ratio of ingredients, the price to portion ratio was good. Not only was the pho good from a price perspective, but it was also delicious from the quality of the ingredients to taste of the items combined. Starting with the broth, the soup definitely leans more towards the sweet side. I found this to be delightful only because the soup had some density to it. The noodles were thin and moist, but stayed together instead of breaking apart. This texture was soft and allowed the noodles to complement the other ingredients in the bowl. Of anything I had in the large combo pho, all of the meat was by far the best part. The beef ball was full of rich juices despite the small size, the steak was soft and tender, and the tripe introduced a ribbed texture that helped bring diversity in consistency. For last, the cilantro, onions, and beansprouts given were all fresh and helped balance out the carbohydrate-heavy dish. Pho Vietnam Kitchen's Large Combination Pho is no joke when comparing to many of the other pho places in the nearby vicinity. From the lower than average price to the amount of food you're getting, the price-to-portion ratio was pretty good all things considered. All of the food was fresh and had a unique taste, so much so that most Vietnamese places I've tried in the area do not have. However, with the less balanced portion of meat and some items being absent or lacking in the bowl, I argue Pho Vietnam Kitchen tops out at a high 4 out of 5 star rating. If you're looking for a delicious pho in the San Gabriel Valley that won't break the bank, Pho Vietnam Kitchen is a great choice. read more

The Vietnamese paintings throughout the restaurant were very nice and each holds a deep significance to all the employees. The food prices were very affordable for the portion sizes. Now to the reason I was here, the food. I ordered Banh mi, Pho and spring rolls. Oh my goodness!! Every item was DELICIOUS and fresh!! When I was done, I definitely had a craving for a second serving of everything I had just eaten. It was that good. This is definitely a restaurant worth a visit or two read more

My always go to when craved for Vietnamese food near my place. My mom always smile when I ask her if she wants something from Pho Vietnam Kitchen. Most often I buy their numbers 12, 27, 39 and Bahn Mi. Very friendly people, they let me know if they do close for days read more

First off plates are dirty and the chicken in the chicken pho is horrible, it is uncooked. Do not recommend this place if you are looking for a warm soup when you are sick. The service is horrible. My dad ordered egg rolls and when the waiter gave them to him they took them back and gave them to another table. Even the other person was disgusted. I don't want anybody else coming here if looking for some good dinner or lunch. If I could I would give this place no stars. read more

Good portion of food and quick service definitely will come back. Thank you :) highly recommended

This is the best pho place !!!!!!! Their pho is sooo good and the owner Cami is the sweetest I would give them 10 stars if I could

Love, love, LOVE this place! I've been living in the area for all my life, and I just recently discovered this gem. Compared to all other Pho places I've had, this is my fave! Eggrolls are always lightly crisp and so full of goodness. My fave pho is #15, rare steak & well done flank. The broth is the beessttt. So flavorful and amount of meats and veggies are more than enough. Even in your to-go order. We usually order Saigon tea or Thai tea. Cannot go wrong w either! Highly recommend. read more

I went to this restaurant due to near my home and 4 start on yelp. It's is small restaurant but lots of people and the service was very good seems lien a family restaurant. My wife and I was here for first time and she really likes how clean the restaurant is makes her feel comfortable in eating. I ordered my normal combination pho large and pork chop spring rolls. My wife ordered #55 pork chop rice with shrimp paste wrapped in bean curd. Overall the dishes was good you cannot go wrong in a Vietnamese restaurant when it comes to pork chops most really know how to marinate. The shrimp paste was tasty and the pork spring rolls tasted freshly wrapped and the pork is warm. Combination pho was ok soup base seem light but this my coworker says possibly due to more healthier less msg as the heavy tasting pho soups which taste good may have lots of msg. I rather be healthy so light is ok with me. The reason for the 4 star is the pho and rice dish portions were small to me. That is likely due to the lower price but I don't mind paying more for bigger portions. Hope this review helps. Great service and very clean the owner deserves his/her props. read more

Pho Vietnam Kitchen is a solid choice if you're craving some decent Vietnamese food! I live closeby and decided to try this place. It is situated in a mid size plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself isn't too large but can accommodate a good amount of people. I eat vegetarian sometimes so I wanted to try their Veggie Pho. It's a solid bowl of pho but I have had better ones from other establishments. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other dishes though. read more

Lots of free plaza parking. Food took a very long time to come out. Unusual for a pho spot. The owner was friendly but the female server seemed like she dreaded being there. Never smiled and looked irritated. Made me uncomfortable to ask for stuff such as extra plates so we just made due. Pho and bun were very delicious. The pho noodles were cooked perfectly, the soup not too oily. The nuoc mam was perfect for the bun, which was spectacular. Food overall is delicious. Unfortunately I immediately had cramps as soon as I got to my car, which is unusual for this type of food. So not sure if it was unsanitary or what the cause was. Prices are extremely reasonable, especially with inflation. read more
