Birria pho + Thai iced tea
Adam W.

Great service! Anahi was amazing. Got the birria pho and it was delicious. I do wish there was just a little more meat but it was very filling as is. The Thai iced Thai hit the spot!

Natural Oxtail Pho Gluten Free
Scarlett H.

Can't believe I haven't written a review about this place! I've come here for close to 10 years on and off. And over the years, I think they've improved and added more items to their menu. I don't know if they can count as a cheap eat, but it is really affordable and the quality is quite good. My favorite item is your natural oxtail pho! Only a few Vietnamese places offer this dish and I think there's is one of the best! If you're a meat eater, or if you like fall off the bone, short ribs, then this is the dish for you. We've also tried their Wagyu beef pho and liked it too. Very tentative service, though they are always busy with lots of takeout orders, they remember to take care of the dine in customers. A very small and casual place, the ambience is relaxed and day-to-day bistro. It's a great restaurant for this neighborhood (Palms, Cheviott Hills ) and I hope they keep doing good business here.

Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Lemongrass Noodle Soup with Beef, Pork and Cha Lua)
Anthony T.

I appreciated the quick service and being able to support a vietnamese restaurant out on the Westside. The Bun Bo Hue was solid- good amount of spice and beef bone flavor, with plenty of meat. The only thing I might change is to slice the meat a bit thinner and add more noodles. I also liked the pork vermicelli bowl - light and the meat was perfectly marinated and cooked! Wish that the fish sauce had more oomph to it, but it helped to add lime and sambal. Definitely recommend if you need something to satisfy a craving for viet food, although it doesnt really compare to food found in Little Saigon.

Vegan Pho Gluten Free
Gwen D.

Tasty broth and fun promotion on DoorDash. I loved the depth for a vegan broth. The tofu that comes with the vegan pho is fried. I didn't see any unfried options on the menu. Sometimes it's too heavy and the crunchy texture isn't always needed. I'd order again and not get tofu.

Oxtail Pho
John C.

Was craving pho in the morning so decided to give a local shop a try since it was within 10 mins of walking distance. I'll say it was one of the most disappointing Pho I've tried in a very long time and I expected better. Pho's most important part - broth. It had a slight funky sourness to it with no in-depth flavor. Nothing screamed of broth boiling over night nor did it taste traditional. Not even close to even a modern Pho restaurants. The shop is rather small and its most definitely not a traditional pho, but an interesting twist to it. Imo not to its benefit. Also, it took about 25 mins for it to come out where usually it takes 5 MAYBE 10. Positives: Oxtail fell off the bone and tendons great giving it 3 stars.

One of the worst pho broths I ever had .... Tastes like dishwater .
Daniel B.

No salt on 3! 3-2-1 , salt tha pho! Salt the pho! Never have I ever had pho broth that was so absolutely tasteless. It was like slurping mildly acidic water. The broth carries the pho-- without it , it's DOA. Okay the Wagyu beef brisket is fine and all, but when it basks in the broth it's gonna absorb more flavor. No addition there either so subtract a couple stars. I mean you can tell the line cook didnt give a tittle if he's gonna give me old and expired crusty sriracha sauce. Wonder how I know? The paste was like a sickening brown hue instead of vibrant blood red. Must have been like over a year old bottle. No excuse me while I go forage for an actual decent meal as whatever it is it won't be here .

Chicken Clay Pot
Andy C.

Visited on a Saturday night. The restaurant is tucked inside a small business plaza with a few parking spots and some street parking nearby. The vibe inside was pleasant and we were greeted by a friendly waiter. He recommended three dishes: the Imperial Rolls, Chicken Clay Pot, and Wagyu Beef Pho. They all sounded great, so we went with his suggestions. Food arrived fairly quickly. The Imperial Rolls were delicious and crispy, but the portion was surprisingly small, just two rolls. The Chicken Clay Pot was also on the small side, with a single chopped chicken breast served alongside a bowl of rice. Unfortunately, it was too heavily on salty-sweet sauce, overcooked chicken, it's just ok. The biggest disappointment was the Wagyu Pho. It came with only two slices of Wagyu and two slices of regular beef, and the broth was watery. It completely lacks the rich depth you expect from a good pho. On the bright side, the service was friendly, so maybe I just caught the kitchen on an off night.

Portion of meat that was a waste.
Stan S.

My wife and I have ordered the Natural Pork Vermicelli with Imperial Roll from Phorage over five times, always through Uber Eats since we prefer enjoying our meals at home. While we truly enjoy the flavors and concept of their dishes, the consistent quality control issues have become impossible to overlook. Out of those five orders, four had major problems -- wilted or old lettuce, burnt meat, or some other sign that the food wasn't prepared with care. The final straw was our most recent order, where more than half the meal was just fat. Absolutely gross and inedible. It's disappointing because the food could be great if they maintained consistent freshness and quality. Unfortunately, after giving them multiple chances, we're done. We're now on the search for a better alternative that respects customers enough to deliver what they promise.

Chicken Mary s Free Range Pho Gluten Free
Bianca W.

This has to be the worst pho in town. The taste of the chicken pho has drastically gone down hill and has an overly salty and fish sauce taste. It's so bad no amount of water to dilute the taste helps. Overall I was only able to have a few bites and the rest was wasted. Service is good and the team is attentive. Just the food has gone drastically down hill over the years.

How sure are you that the French Baguette for the Banh Mi is vegan? I called before you answered my question and one of the employees said it was not.

Sorry just saw this ... but that employee was Misinformed ... the bread contains water flour yeast salt.

Can the Banh Mi be made vegan if you don't add the mayo? I wasn't sure about the French Baguette, since I know that some places have ones that contain milk in them.

Yea it is vegan if you remove the mayo ... the bread is a true french baguette and does not contain milk :)

Sleek cocktail bar located smack dab in the center of the high foot traffic area of Little Tokyo…read more A great selection of whiskey and a solid cocktail menu with good happy hour specials. It's not surprising given the neighborhood and decor, but I think they lean towards more Japanese spirits and beers. For someone like me who's never been to Japan I feel like there's a traditional Japanese theme going on inside with lots of wood. A few friends and I came here on a holiday before dinner. Happy hour specials were still going on. I'm not sure if they thought they were gonna get that much business on a holiday but I think there's only maybe one or two people behind the bar. Since it was early when we got there, it was still not that crowded. I got the special which was a shot of Japanese whisky and a beer. Great price! Haha. I've walked by before where this place is really crowded so I assume there's a lot more people working behind the bar during the regular busy hours. Just a great place to grab drink drinks.

No exceptions, as I witnessed a family who really wanted to come in but had an 18 yr old so they weren't allowed in and because they had a minor with them they couldn't even sit outside in their seating area. Always good to know. Inside the bar got super busy. The inside was a bit dark but again it is a bar. I like the decor and the bar seating was packed. The drinks were good if you like whiskey they have it along with lists of beer options. Nice spot to try out.

The place has a really cool, laid-back vibe spacious, industrial style, and super inviting. It got busy, but the staff handled it well and were friendly the whole time. I don't drink, but my friends all grabbed beers and kept saying how good they were (they're definitely known for their craft beers). Everyone was happy, which says a lot! I just enjoyed the atmosphere and the energy of the crowd. There's plenty of seating, clean bathrooms (always important), and even a separate room with a stage, so it looks like they host live music and events too. Big plus: it feels like a great spot to hang out after a run or meet up with friends. I've also heard they often have food trucks, which makes it even better. Overall, great vibes, good service, and a fun place to unwind. Would definitely come back with the group!

Great Vibes, Games, Karaoke & Churros -- We'll Be Back…read more Came to check out Boomtown Brewery with my boyfriend and had such an awesome time. Even on a soggy, rainy day, this place delivered great vibes. We arrived a bit early and got to explore both rooms, which was a fun experience in itself. The first room had karaoke, long tables and benches, cozy sofas, dart machines, a photo booth, games, and restrooms. It's also very pet-friendly--as long as your dog is leashed. They even have water bowls for pets, which we loved. The second room to the right has board games, two pool tables, high tops, more seating, sofas, and the main bar. The whole space has a rustic, industrial feel with lots of cool hanging plants, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Everyone was friendly and kind. There was a food truck on site, and we also got lucky with a mobile churro vendor called Hippie Churro--we ordered two churros (one strawberry-filled and one plain), and they were delicious. $7 well spent. We enjoyed a michelada and an IPA, played Jenga, listened to music, and caught some karaoke performances. Overall, an amazing night with great energy and a solid setup for hanging out, playing games, and just enjoying the moment. We'll definitely be back soon.
