I'm so excited that a Vietnamese Duck pho (noodle soup) place called "Pho Vit 115" opened in El Monte last year. This is my first time trying their duck pho! It's in a small plaza on Valley Blvd. and Gibson Road (close to Baldwin Ave.) The plaza is small so parking can be difficult. They open at 10 a.m. and I got there early around 10:30 a.m. so I found a parking space. The ambiance looks modern with cute decor inside. I like that they are decorated with flowers close to the entrance. I also like the purple interior lighting because I like purple color and it looks elegant. I ordered #5A Pho Vit (Duck rice noodles) for to-go. You can also choose between duck vermicelli or duck glass noodles. The regular size is $14.99 and the large is $15.99 so I ordered the large size. They handed me a cup of hot tea while I was waiting for my to-go order. I was so surprised by such a great service! The tea was good quality indeed. They packaged the to-go order so nicely and secured it. They separated the noodle soup, noodles, and duck into different containers and boxes. The temperature was still hot enough so I put the noodles into the duck noodle soup immediately. The soup broth was a bit salty but it was a perfect match with the noodle. The noodles tasted great. They gave us a good amount of duck meat with a duck leg. I personally like roast duck more than marinated duck, but their duck meat was juicy and flavorful and I also liked the dipping sauce. I also like that they put fried red onion and some shredded veggies inside. If you like bamboo shoots, they also have duck vermicelli bamboo shoots or rice noodles, or glass noodles to choose from. However, I don't like the taste and smell of bamboo shoots. I want to try their duck salad and duck curry when I dine in next time. Overall it was a good experience! I recommend it. read more

My first time to try a marinated crispy duck with pho in Pho Vit for specialty restaurant!! The best value of half crispy duck plus pho for 2 people!!! It's free for ice or hot regular tea!! Good place for lunch!! The crispy duck was cut in a month pieces and it's very tasty and delicious... just you have to chew with some duck bones.... If there's a boneless, it would be the best!!! Services were so great n nice attitude!! Environment is designed very elegant for a small specialty shop restaurant... read more

Pho Vit 115 - Are it all! - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

I came here with my family for lunch on Saturday to try duck pho. The restaurant is located in a corner plaza and the parking lot is pretty small. It was busy but we waited about 10 minutes for a table. There were only 2 workers manning everything. Plain pho (5/5): You have a choice between vermicelli, pho, and glass noodles. I chose the pho noodles and they were so good. It was cooked perfectly. I don't know what the difference was from other restaurants but it was probably the best noodle texture I have had. Duck salad (5/5): The duck was so tender and succulent! It was meaty. It paired well with the plain pho. The fish sauce had a nice little kick to it. The cabbage salad underneath was nice and fresh as well. I will definitely be coming back. It was a great experience. The interior was nice and clean as well. They currently have a promotion for June read more

Would recommend checking out this place! The duck salad is really good - tender and delicious with the sweet sauce. The pho and soup is amazing and noodles are perfect consistency. Curry was good as well - a little more soupy than Japanese or Chinese curry but good flavor! read more

Food: The noodle soup and the duck salad were all delicious! The soups were clean and rich, with an earthy umami taste from the bamboo shoots. The salad was fresh and they gave a lot of duck. Felt like more than half a duck Service: Much better than a typical Asian restaurant. We went for an early lunch so it wasn't packed. When we ordered, the server actually gave us a recommendation to save us some money and get us the same amount of food we would've gotten. read more

We came here on a Saturday for lunch. Ambiance: 5/5 The place is very homey and the decor is very cute. Parking is not the best because the parking lot is small, but good thing is that most other business in this plaza were not open on this Saturday. Food: 5/5 This place is well known for their duck salad and they did not disappoint. Their duck is not gamey at all and pairs perfectly with their noodles and cabbage salad. The dressing for the salad strong, but not overpowering. The only thing is that the duck was roughly chopped, so some of the bones are harder to pick out. Drinks: 5/5 We got Vietnamese iced coffee, lemon ice tea, and pandan green tea. The iced coffee is strong and rich. The lemon ice tea was light and not too sweet. Lastly, I ordered a hot tea and to my surprise it had an aromatic pandan scent to it. It smelled amazing but did not impact the taste of the tea. Service: 5/5 The service was great. I'm sure the food was pre-prepped in the kitchen, but it all came out nice and hot like 5 minutes after we ordered. The servers were attentive and came to refill our drinks without even asking. read more

Found out this restaurant was new in the area and still in their soft opening stage so wanted to give it a try. First time ever trying duck pho. Didn't even know there was such a thing. After trying it, I still prefer chicken pho though if I really have to compare. Location of the restaurant is situated in a small plaza. Parking can be difficult. We went past 1:00 pm which wasn't during lunch hour but the restaurant was still full. We ordered a regular bowl of duck pho with rice noodles. You can choose what type of noodles you want. There were 3 choices. Also ordered duck curry. Their monthly promotion is for every entree you purchase, you get a free drink. The free drink is lemon iced tea and it's available for the whole month of May. Our food orders came out within 5 min of waiting. The restaurant was busy with parties of people constantly coming in and several others waiting to be seated. There is only 2 people running the restaurant so they were falling behind on taking orders and also preparing to go orders. We waited for like 5-10 min to see if our lemon iced teas would be served. No sign. There was like 2-3 other tables that were seated before us that got their lemon iced teas. Tables after us didn't receive any so we decided to just ask if it was available. Worst answer is no right? After all, there was a sign posted at the entrance of the restaurant about the monthly promotional drink. We did ask and one of the servers responded with a 2-3 second pause "yes" and said we will work on it. Waited for like another 2-3 min and our drinks arrived. Did appreciate the fact that we weren't forgotten however when it came time to pay , we asked for the check and after 10 min of waiting we were still sitting there. It's not until one of the servers walked past our table that we asked again. While we were waiting for the check, we saw one of the servers making iced tea in the kitchen. He was pouring a pitcher of ice and tea into a cup and he used his FINGERS to stop the ice cube from falling into the cup really fast. HIS FINGERS! That is unsanitary. Even using spoon to block it would have been nice. Anyways, by this time our check still hasn't arrived so we politely asked for the check and it came promptly. There is an option to scan the QR code on the check and pay through the phone on the clover website. I just ended up doing that because I didn't want to wait for the server to come pick up the check and wait for my credit card to be returned to me. Food is delicious but they really should take into consideration to hire another employee to help out in the front. With the size of the restaurant, three people should be enough. The waiting time was a bit annoying, I wouldn't say frustrating given the fact that both were trying to do as much as they can taking orders, wiping tables, making drinks, serving food all at the same time. But it did feel like we had to get their attention a couple times. As you can expect, there was as no follow up after we got our orders. No questions being asked like how is everything? Do you need anything ? Because they just didn't have the time at all. Please hire more staff to improve the customer service. read more

o4.28.24 Super late lunch at 3 pm... it was quite empty, as expected. I've heard of this place a few months ago and have been wanting to try it. We got the bamboo pho with duck and duck curry with banh mi. Both are pretty good. We didn't finish and took the rest to go, mainly the curry. It was too good not to take out. It was good with rice, too. read more

I love the porridge and salad here. Love the free tea they give. My go to when I'm in the area.

First time trying duck pho and it was delicious! I was a bit skeptical about it because I'm honestly not a huge fan of duck, but it exceeded my expectations. The duck is super juicy and the salad is so good. The dipping sauce that it comes, I think it's like a ginger fish sauce mixture pairs so well with the duck meat. The soup is a bit bland but it balances out with the dipping sauce and salad sauce. read more

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Worth it for the duck salad! If you come after 4pm, they have a promo where you get free 2 bowls of pho or porridge (get the pho, you're welcome). Duck salad is perfectly seasoned with the fish sauce, and for only $24.99 (with 2 bowls of pho), you can definitely feed 3 people. Reasonable price, great service, and wonderful tasty food. The ambiance is so cute inside, decorated and very well lit. Would definitely come back and recommend to everyone! read more

We came in at 7pm and the server said they ran out of duck, so we returned the next day at 10am. I'm glad we did, because we had one of the most unique pho dishes out there. Duck pho, where instead of beansprouts and thai basil, the soup is served with a duck salad with shredded cabbage, fried shallots, and a ginger fish sauce dressing. In lieu of hoisin and sriracha, chili sauce and chopped raw chilies accompany the table as condiments for a more intense heat. The noodles in the salty broth was savory comfort. The duck with the ginger sauce was succulent. But the best flavor happens when you take a bite of both as both flavors complement each other. As the more unique alternative to the chicken or even beef pho, I recommend giving this dish a try. read more

Pho Vit 115 - Duck pho - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

We went for the duck noodles and salad. We really liked it. It is small place but clean. Services are great. We will return.

Let me start this review off by saying that I have been thinking about this duck pho since I have left CA. I live in Nevada and do not have this type of duck pho anywhere near me so when I was in town, my family said that I had to try it. My aunt has been requesting this once a week so I knew I had to try. There was a bit of a wait so our group of 8 waited outside for about 15 minutes. When we walked in they were very accommodating (we had a baby with us and they offered us a high chair). We ordered a whole duck split onto two plates for the table and we all got the plain rice noodle soup. They have other noodle options like vermicelli, glass noodle, and porridge but we all got the plain rice noodle(pho noodles) and it was simply amazing. The duck was cooked perfectly paired with a ginger sauce sitting on top of a refreshing salad. Everything about this meal was perfect. The noodles were nice and chewy, the broth was flavorful and piping hot, just the way I like my noodle soups! I am sitting here writing this while salivating in Nevada planning my next trip to LA just so I could eat this again. Simply amazing. read more

Service was quick and friendly, ambiance comparable to most pho places. The value is great considering it's duck but overall I still prefer my #1 pho specials (dac biet). The soup had so much pepper in it that it no longer tasted like pho to me, it just tasted like hot water with pepper. The duck was tasty but there's SO many bone fragments and you cannot just take it out in one piece, it's the gritty broken kind thats in every bite almost. The bed of salad with fish sauce dressing was good. I'll give it another chance one day but didn't wow me. read more

Was really impressed with this family run shop. The food is pretty simple and straight forward, very clean and done really well. Just know this isn't your standard, familiar pho restaurant. It's a duck restaurant. It's really a duck broth restaurant that also serves the boiled duck meat and traditional Asian carbs/starch accompaniments with some additional dishes. If I haven't made it clear yet, the broth is the star of the show. It is pure, it's balanced, it's clean, it's so simple it might take you a bit to really appreciate it. But most won't just come for the broth so you can choose pho noodles (really good quality with nice chew), vermicelli, glass noodles, egg noodles, congee or rice to go with the broth as well as the boiled duck meat over a slaw salad with ginger sauce. You can also get a variation of any of the aforementioned with a duck and bamboo/menma broth that's a little earthier. For non duck eaters there's chicken curry as well as a spiced pork belly with sticky rice or banh mi. The restaurant itself is very clean, bright and staff was friendly and patient. If you aren't familiar with these type of Vietnamese/Chinese dishes it might be a bit of a leap of faith, but I highly recommend them and hope they stick around for a while even if it means it'll have to wait for a table. read more

Ahh. A great alternative when you're tired of the classic noodle soups but still want something soothing, delicious, clean and healthy. Duck noodle soup here is great. I've had a few others around the area but here it's their specialty and it shows. For about $15 you get a generous serving of duck on a bed of shredded cabbage salad style and a bowl of clear soup and high quality rice noodles. And I want to emphasize that these noodles are excellent. Often times we don't acknowledge the noodles but the soup and the meats and that's a mistake. We highly enjoyed both the duck noodle soup and the duck noodle with bamboo shoots (the soup is actually different tasting) and both were outstanding. They also offered a free hot or cold tea which is again, very high quality tea that you can taste and has a lingering aroma in the back of the throat. Don't forget to also get the ICED COFFEE. It was one of the best ones I've had in the SGV. Rich, chocolatey beans, perfectly light sweetness. Free parking in the small lot. Service very friendly and attentive yet not overwhelmingly so. read more

If you're craving for all things duck then this is the place. They have various duck entrees from duck noodle soup to duck curry to duck salad. I ordered the large duck noodle soup with bamboo ($17). The entree comes with a huge bowl of noodles with bamboo and a plate of chopped duck on a bed of cabbage and herbs. They serve the salad with a yummy ginger fish sauce. So delicious!! Soup is clear and tastes very light, just what I was craving for. Husband had the duck curry which comes with noodles, bread or rice. Curry is rich in flavor and balanced with spices and just the right level of sweetness. The restaurant is not huge but it is clean and modern. Bathroom is clean, too. I would definitely come back to try other dishes that are offered. read more

If you love duck or are curious to try it in Vietnamese cuisine, Pho Vit 115 is a must. I came here for the duck pho, and it did not disappoint. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the duck is tender with no gamey taste. I also tried the bun mang vit (duck with bamboo shoots) and the duck salad (goi vit)--both were fresh, well-balanced, and super satisfying. The portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. The space is clean with a casual vibe. They have QR code menus and some outdoor seating that's pet-friendly, which is a plus. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are fair, and they offer lunch specials too--great value for the quality. Definitely one of the better spots in the SGV for duck pho. I'll be back! read more

The duck combo was delicious and they had pretty good portion sizes. The ambiance was quiet and nondisruptive. The service, however, was not very good. They charged us an extra $10 for bamboo shoots which should have been included in the pho bowl. There were 4 waiters walking around but we still had to ask for the check 3 times before they finally brought it over. I also found it very odd that to get a free drink you have to check in on yelp AND write a review. Normally, it's just check in and the first time I went here, I only had to check in. How do I write a review before even getting my food? Fortunately, I've been here one other time, but the service has gone down by a landslide on this second visit. read more

Duck duck goose Located on Valley Blvd in El Monte. You can find parking either on the streets or inside their small, shared parking lot. The interior is clean and tidy. I like the fact that the table was not sticky and there were no trash on the floor. Love their sliding barn door to get to the restrooms. It wasn't that busy when we got there so we got a table right away. We placed our food and drinks and everything came out very quick. We ordered the following: Thai iced tea ($3.99) and Pennywort w/mung beans ($4.99): I was expecting the Thai iced tea to be a little sweet, but I tasted more of the tea. I was not a fan of the Pennywort w/mung beans. Duck vermicelli bamboo shoot noodle soup ($15.99): this dish came with a small plate of duck salad on the side. This dish is on point in terms of flavor, portion, and everything that came with it. Quarter duck thigh with salad ($14.99): this salad is so good. Love the ginger fish sauce. I wish the portion is a little bit bigger especially for the price I'm paying for. Duck curry with baguette ($14.99): portion is decent and it comes with one baguette. Flavor is also on point. Overall, everything was delicious and I don't mind coming back again. read more

Originally, I gave this place 3 stars. I decided to lower it since the owner, Vincent, didn't know how to reply professionally. To you Vincent... First off, I am not sure if you read everything. I did say that I ate here about 2 months ago, so of course, the photos were about 2 months ago lol 2nd, you admitted that the food wasn't that great. It has now improved a lot... from what you stated. 3rd, yesh I will go explore other places. Why would I go back to your place to pay more for lower quality and lesser portion. No one needs to deal with your stinky attitude. BTW, you're right. A greedy owner like you doesn't need to follow other places. You do you lol just giving my advice that you could have made things better for yourself and your customers. That way, you can gain more instead of losing customers. You have a great day as well. GL! _________________________________________ I am not a fan. My mom loves rice noodle soup with bamboo shoots & ducks. When I found out about this place, I took her right away. Sadly, we didn't like it. Pls note: we ate here about 2 months ago when it just opened. The rice noodle bamboo shoots w/duck soup was pretty bland that day. What suck was for the price of $13.99, the portion was small, and salad was not included. Every restaurant that we have been to that served this ALWAYS included salad (goi). Not sure why this place decided to be stingy about it. It was not a big big deal tho if the food was good. Sadly, it wasn't. Even the sauce was not that great. Maybe it is better now? Let's hope so. As for the curry. It was watery, but the taste wasn't that bad, IMO. My mom didn't enjoy it. The bread was fresh. The drink was not filled. There was also no refill. I admit my mom did drank some prior to me taking the picture. She only took a sip tho.... I have been searching for another place. This place popped up again. I noticed they up the price to 15.99. I honestly feel that this place is pricey since they decided to count the salad as a side order or appetizer and charge for it. Should only be charged if customers would like extra. I found a new place recently opened for 14.99 that included the salad. So why would I wanna return to this place...lol Service was whatever. When my mom questioned the owner, he was like, "You should have ordered it." He also mentioned that the menu didn't say it will include the salad. Yesh, it was our fault that we didn't notice it since we thought all the restaurants that offered this noodle would include it. Since he decided to do things differently, it would be great to mention to customers that the order will not include the salad. He could have asked if we would like to order it during the ordering process. My mom would have gladly placed the order for the salad. Anyways, none of that really matters since the foods weren't that great. We will be exploring other places. read more

Came here on a Sunday and it was pretty packed during lunchtime but there were still some tables available. We got: 1. Duck with glass noodles: The broth was great and there was a good amount of serving size. The dish is served with some duck on the side and it came with a ginger dipping sauce. The duck itself was kind of bland but some parts of it was covered with the same dipping sauce to give it some flavor, which it definitely needed. 2. Chicken curry with baguette: The broth was very watered down but it was fragrant. There was hardly any meat, and it was basically a soup dish rather than a curry. Overall, not bad but there could be improvements made to be better. read more
