I love coming here. The rice plates are dope too. Try the coriander beef rice plate. The chicken pho is my go to when I'm sick. Anahi is one of my favorite people read more

Thank you anahi for your amazing service. I have a nut and shellfish allergy and anahi was so caring helpful, and reassuring with showing me the menu. She helped make the experience. The banh mi bread is so fluffy yet crispy on the outside. If you're thinking about getting the birria ramen i'd reccomend just getting the wagyu or other ramen. Its yummy but a little lackluster. I'd rather just savor the un-adultered pho broth they use. read more

My girlfriend loves Vietnamese food and Pho and wanted to come here. I am not very familiar with Pho or Vietnamese food. We had come here before years ago when I was really hungry and my meal didn't fill me up back then but, I agreed to give it another try. We started off with the fresh shrimp + pork spring rolls ($12) with rice noodle, lettuce, mint & peanut sauce. They were fresh, delicious and a nice start. Since I was pretty hungry, I was recommended the Spicy Lemongrass Pork + Beef / Bún Bò Huế ($20): Brisket + pork + Vietnamese ham + vermicelli in that spicy lemongrass broth. Probably the most substantial soup on the menu, and much more interesting than standard phở. I am kind of used to Thai food which, to me, is more flavorful. I added some of the sauces they had on the table to liven up the taste. The flavor I was getting was lemongrass & coriander which was good but not as exciting as I was hoping for. It was okay, just different than what I'm used to. My girlfriend got one of her go-to favorites the Jidori chicken vermicelli + veggie roll with fish sauce vinegarette, green onion oil & peanut and she loved it as usual. Again, I am not used to Vietnamese food and it may take me some time for it grow on me but it is definitely healthy and I like that - 4 stars. read more

As somebody who is usually a hater of modern takes of asian cuisine, I was pleasantly surprise by this spot. I stumbled across it on a Sunday morning craving some warm pho and stumbled across this location. I ordered the oxtail pho, and the meat was incredibly tender. There was surprisingly a LOT of oxtail for the price, $24 which I thought was a pretty good value. The broth tasted complex and flavorful, and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. The bowl was huge and the broth piping hot, portion was so large I ended up taking almost half home! If you're looking for creative, modern Vietnamese dishes that put a clever spin on classics rather than strictly traditional flavors, this is your spot. If you're specifically looking for a more authentic Vietnamese experience, this may not be your pick, but they have plenty of other dishes I'm excited to come back and try like the wagyu pho and the birria pho. Parking on-site is a huge plus, and the restaurant was impressively clean, (including the condiments) and my server was also so sweet and not disruptively attentive as somebody who was dining alone. read more

I don't like to give restaurants bad reviews but eating at Photage was uniquely disappointing. It's usually disappointing to eat Vietnamese food in Los Angeles, so my expectations are typically low but this experience was worse because how poorly the pho was made and how forgetful the servers were. I'll start with the bright side: parking. There is a small but free parking lot in front of the restaurant in a shared plaza. Now for the food: I ordered the oxtail pho. The bowl of pho was $21(typical LA price) but there was very little oxtail meat. It was mostly fat and bone that was in the bowl. The broth tasted like water and it seemed like they never simmer the bones or spices in the broth. It tasted like hot water and nothing else. For the service, the waiters forgot to give me the sauce plate, even though I asked multiple times. They also did not know what hanh dam was so I had to show them on google what it was. It also took a surprising amount of time to get the bowl of pho. They didn't have vinegar so just gave me raw onions. Not sure if they make it fresh, but that might be why the broth is missing flavor. This is definitely not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant if you're looking for one. The ambience is decent and clean, but there are better places to go for pho. read more

Decent fusion Vietnamese spot in west la. Tried it since there aren't many Vietnamese options around this part of town. Ordered a variety of dishes to see how they measure up. Wanted to like it but I still prefer traditional pho, banh mi and pork chop rice. The ingredients were fresh and of quality and the portion was decent. But the fusion flavor and presentation just didn't work for me. I still prefer traditional pho broth with lemon grass flavor, a real pork chop rice with omelet and banh mi sandwich made with Vietnamese baguette with a crunch. The fish sauce wings were very good though. Service was friendly and the vibe is for hipsters. read more

When I was at UCLA hospital for treatment, my coordinator ordered me the Wagyu Pho because I wanted something soupy. The broth was decent and they did give you plenty of meat to noodle ratio. Although the price is a little high, $22...but it's not bad for this area. read more

Pho Ga is out of this world! My go to spot. Also love their Imperal spring rolls. So crispy and delicious with nice pairings.

Loved my jidori chicken as per usual! So perfect for summer. That fish sauce I can drink all day every day! So fresh and delicious. I love the generous portion of rice noodles, fresh veggies, lettuce, chicken, fish sauce and it comes with a fried imperial roll on top. Sooo Yummy!!! My boyfriend got the Bun Bo hue soup (spicy lemongrass and pork and beef). He thought it was okay, as he always orders soup here even tho I try to steer him otherwise as I know he's not going to be happy with it (sigh). This time I got the pork and shrimp roll as an appetizer and it was not my favorite roll. The pork tasted kind of dry. Would try other rolls next time. Still obsessed with that chicken!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Nice pho store around the neighborhood. Anahi is very friendly and helpful. They also sell pho kits here.

This spot is the "chefy" take on the Vietnamese cuisine. For those of you who had the privilege of eating at Jordan Kahn's Red Medicine, this would be "around the neighborhood" of an elevated and modernized bowl of Pho. Tucked away in the former Chego space, this was the right fit to fill a once beloved and legendary restaurant. Phorage has cemented its spot for a decade and rightfully so. The flavorful broth hits, the imperial rolls are fried to an airy and crisp texture, and the fusion Pho Birria breathes new life into a cuisine I didn't know needed an alternate flavor profile. There's a reason why this mainstay survived COVID as it has become a neighborhood staple. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

I live in the area and I've visited since their open but I've always ordered take out pho. It's always been good option when you're sick and can't cook. I love all the pho flavors but usually stick to the Wagyu beef. I went there recently with my daughter for dine in. The waitstaff was really nice and quick despite it being full in the restaurant with having to balance it with a ton of to gos. We ordered the imperial rolls for an appetizer and they were crispy and tasty. My daughter ordered the lemongrass shrimp pho that was spicy and garlicky as usual and her favorite. I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad with chicken. It was fresh and full of veggies! Soo good! It's cute inside with clean bathrooms. Parking is limited in their lot. read more

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. read more

Really good banh mi sandwiches! The bread was perfect. Lots of meat as well. We also had imperial rolls. I wish there were more (just two rolls with lettuce wraps and noodles), but they're so good. The Philly cheesesteaks style banh mi is obviously unconventional but the flavors are on point. I'd order it again. The portion is larger than other places I've been to. There's a small shared parking lot. Prices are fair compared to other casual places like this. read more

If you're craving viet food but not willing to make the drive to OC or even SGV, Phorage is a reasonable option for you! Big portions make up for the big price. I got the wagyu beef pho and added meatballs. The broth comes up nice and hot. It wasn't as flavorful as some of the OC pho spots nothing some basil, Hoisin sauce, and Sriracha can't fix. We also got the imperial rolls and were surprised they came with lettuce and vermicelli to turn into a roll or salad bowl! Nice and crispy, super flavorful, my only regret was not ordering a second portion. read more

Overall this restaurant is a 3 out of 5. Service was good but food is just okay. We got - Wagu beef Pho with beef balls: the broth is not flavorful (trust me when I say it is not flavorful). The good thing here is the beef ball and the Wagu beef. They do give you a good amount of meat - vermicelli noodles with pork: meat isn't tender or flavorful. The egg roll was better than the meat. The fish sauce just okay. - clay pot chicken: a bit too salty. We had to add lime juice to make it more eatable. Rice was good. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more
