Very simple unassuming pleasant restaurant with open space good food great service and a large menu food selection. Reasonable price as well. If someone has a cold this place is perfect for a hot Pho. Delicious, light savory hot food. Parking is easy the place is large enough that you can have a conversation and not cramped.
Yum! I had a great time dining here with family, and even though we came closer to closing time, we were warmly welcomed and provided with wonderful service. The portions are pretty big and the broth had great flavor. I actually had the Shrimp and Beef Vermicelli Bowl which was super fresh and filling. The Shrimp Spring Rolls were not my favorite, but they were still good; I thought the peanut sauce was a little bitter for my taste. The real star of the show, however, were the Chicken Wings. Super crispy and juicy and they had a great sweet and spicy flavor that everyone loved. The decor was pretty minimalistic and overall, I enjoyed my food and time.
Don't let the exterior fool you -- with its fun lights, clean seats and pops of color, this pho shop in Porter Ranch is quite inviting and aesthetically pleasing on the inside. This restaurant has been here for two years, but we only recently noticed it and decided to venture in for lunch. We're glad we did! The menu features noodle soups, noodle bowls, rice dishes, hot pots, handheld appetizers like spring rolls and egg rolls, banh mi sandwiches, boba, smoothies and more. Great selection of veggie-friendly options for those who may appreciate it. We had the shrimp and pork spring rolls -- good, but very small portion of pork. We also had a couple of pho bowls. Mine came with short rib still on the bone, which I found to be a bit intimidating. Decent portions, several options to add spice, and overall delicious taste. Attentive and personable staff. Plenty of free parking available in the lot. Lastly, their website says they are closed on Tuesdays, but that seems to be outdated. They are open every day from 10am to 9pm.
Came here during a rainy day with the wife Wife got grilled pork spring roll for $6 (came with two) and create your own pho with beef broth, flat rice noodles and double brisket and flank (you get to choose 3 proteins). She really liked the broth flavor and tenderness of the meat. I got two Bahn mi sandwiches - one grilled pork and one grilled beef. Each was $9. Total after a small tip for takeout was about $44. Should cover two meals for each of us, so an acceptable amount. Next time we'll probably eat there though so the food is hotter and fresher. Might have sat too long as we ordered takeout, shopped at Amazon fresh and took our sweet time and then took the food home. Service was pleasant. Inside was bright, clean and had ample seating. Also had a tv showing sports. I also like the dessert options. If not for the rain, I'd have considered the taro smoothie $6.
Shout out to Candice for waiting on my party of 12. Thank you! You were awesome! Great place! Food is consistent. Everything I get here has been tasty, fresh and delicious! Looking forward to having more group gatherings here.
What an amazing find! Great friendly customer service. I was looking for Vietnamese servers, seems they're all in the kitchen cooking. OK by me, cuz the food was delicious and the customer service better than other Vietnamese places. Maybe a business strategy to be considered by others? The portions are generous. Enough to eat half at the restaurant and the other half for later. Loved that there is a long booth on both sides of the restaurant that can accommodate a large party. I plan on bringing more of my family here.
Friendly staff with a clean and inviting atmosphere and can hold large groups. Pho was decent but did lack the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Good clean broth though. Meat was a bit too overcooked for me personally before getting to me. Banhmi was decent. Chicken lemon grass... but not much lemon grass. Chicken had relatively no seasoning of flavor and slightly overcooked. Baguette could use an upgrade. Overall not a bad spot to get your vietnamese food fix.
Popped in for dinner before heading over to the movie theaters down the road and it was perfect. We got seated right away, service was prompt, food was fresh, they split the bill for us and we were on our way! Decor had a lot going on but the restaurant is spacious enough for it. I had the vermicelli with beef, shrimp, and egg roll... minus the noodles and double up on the greens... it was really good. The hint of lemon grass (which I believe was on the beef) was really delightful. Will likely return when in the area.
A local hidden gem in a Porter Ranch strip mall, serving high quality Pho in a very clean and updated environment complete with a tv if you want to know what's going on in the playoffs. Dine in and take out have both provided excellent experiences for my little girls and I. Their pho comes out almost immediately steaming with vibrant greens on top. Crispy cooked to order egg rolls. Thai tea with boba so delicious. The bbq beef and rice plate or the marinated chicken (a whole Cornish hen flattened and super yummy. Hard to go wrong! Also our favorite waitress is Soraya hands down so attentive even when they are crowded. The staff cares about your culinary experience.
Savory Pho, is a small but elegantly appointed Vietnamese restaurant at Tampa and Rinaldi, in Northridge. I have eaten here several times and the food has never disappointed me. One of their signature dishes is the Beef Luc Lac, which is also called Shaking Beef. It is touted as a French fusion of sweet & savory cubed filet mignon, stir fried with onion, garlic, butter, & oyster sauce....Served with steamed rice & soy sauce. This time, I got to the restaurant and then ordered it to go. They asked for payment (and tip) immediately and the take out bag came out in less than 3 minutes. I was floored. Because I was still in the process of trying to check in on Yelp :) So I asked the server bluntly, whether it was an already prepared, microwave job. Never have I got a carry out so fast. She replied by saying that they just cooked it. That was not accurate. When I got home, it was clear that the dish was not stir fried, there was no char, no wok fragrance on the dish or the cubed beef pieces. Half of the meat pieces were tender, the other half chewy. It also lacked freshness, flavor and spice with lackluster taste and definitely was not as I had experienced it before. More of a kind of boiled and reheat affair. Disappointing, to say the least (see my pictures of this dish from before). Furthermore, I recently got back from a trip to Vietnam, where I had this entree, perfectly prepared, in all its composition and splendor. But this story does not end here. After learning of my dissatisfaction, Michael, the owner communicated with me to apologize, offering to prepare the dish one more time or fully refund my check. You do not see this level of immediate, caring customer service often, if any. Mistakes can happen. And, it is only fair to give a hard working establishment the chance. So i did. They prepared the dish again, at the level it should be, succulent, seared and enticing. Customer service during this encounter was, also high class. Thank you, Candace, for making me feel extremely comfortable. Also, high marks to Michael. Every restaurant should take note, in how this should be done. Thank you very much.... and see you soon.
Still our favorite place to diner in Porter Ranch because the Vietnamese food is nostalgic. The service is generally good but our favorite server is Carmen. She's friendly, quick, and always available as soon as we need anything. She must be very intuitive! I love the decor for lunar new year, but any time of year the restaurant is bright and clean. Now that we've tried more dishes, our current favorites are the Catfish soup, crispy pan fried noodle, and house special pho. The Catfish soup is sweet and sour with lots of fresh veggies. It's bright and comforting. The crispy pan fried noodle is a deep fried noodle that is super crunchy and is smothered in a sauce and topped with veggies and meat. It's very filling and we love it with the pickled chillies. The house special pho is a great way to have pho with a little bit of everything in a savory broth. I love it when I'm not feeling well or when the weather is cold or rainy.
Food is good! My pho had a lot of meat, which I was surprised, a good surprise! Service was great and place looks nice, sharp and clean. Lots of tables and parking lot is big.
A colleague had the hankering for pho, so we made our way down here for a quick lunch. We had a party of 14 and were seated quickly since the restaurant wasn't too full. The interior was brightly lit with LEDs all around, and American pop music from the aughts was playing. Although I would usually go for something like a bun thit nuong, I went for their pho dac biet to try their soup (the Savory House Special with Flat Rice noodles). Order was completed just as fast, which was surprising considering how large our group was and the variety of selections which included sides of chicken wings and spring rolls as well as iced coffee. The soup was delicious and included a decent amount of the beef steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and beef balls. I felt the flat rice noodles were slightly overdone and broke easily. With that said, it was a satisfying bowl of pho overall, and the waitstaff was on top of things.

We came here as a family of six and had an incredibly disappointing experience. We ordered 3 phos: 2 P1s (the house special) and a P6 (short rib pho), along with two pork chop dishes. Unfortunately, almost nothing hit the mark! The pork chop was completely dry! My son took one bit and wouldn't touch it again, and my mother had to force herself to eat half hers. Even the pickled radish, my daughter's favorite, and carrots were off! They were watery with zero vinegar flavor. My daughter spit them out! Every single bowl of broth tasted sour and awful. The noodles also tasted old and stale. The only salvageable part was the meat, so we just ate the protein because we were starving. Though, the meat was flavorful, the texture was tough and a little chewy. When my mom paid for the check, my husband politely mentioned to our server that the broth tasted sour, just as a heads up in case other customers complained. The server spoke with the kitchen and kindly refunded a portion of the phos back to my mom's cc, which was appreciated. If you looked at our table when we left, it looked as though we barely touched our meal. In our haste, we should have just returned the porkchop, too. After posting about our disappointment on IG, four other people chimed in agreeing that it was the worst pho they've had, too (all four are Asian decent, two being Viet themselves). We definitely won't be back. read more

Today my little family and I went to Savory Pho and were so pleased with the experience. The service was great. The waiter was very attentive and personable, he served us water and took our order a few minutes after being seated. I ordered a chicken fried rice, combination plate. It was delicious and they were very generous with their meat portions. I will likely add this one to my favorites. Thank you, Savory Pho! read more

PHOntastic place :))) I have to say, I'm no expert in Pho, but I really enjoyed my food. The service was very nice and friendly. The wait was .... Wait what wait? Exactly! We were served food really quick! We tried house Pho and filet mignon pho. Both were super fresh, broth is amazingly balanced, meats are good quality. We also got fried calamari and wings. Those were good too. Place had a good vibe. I liked the bottles they brought water and it tasted good. So yes, I recommend this place and I will be back! read more
First time coming here and it was honestly not bad. Very clean interior with plenty of seating, quick service as well. I liked how you can change the pho noodles out for flat rice noodles. Portions were really good, with clean tasting broth. I would come back! read more

As an appetizer, spring rolls (pork & shrimp) come with 2 rolls and peanut sauce to dip in. The combination of the pork and shrimp is light and delicious paired with the sauce. If you or someone that has an allergy of nuts, I recommend asking them to replace the sauce since it does come with actual peanut. Bún Bò Tôm Chà Giờ is a rice noodle with pork, shrimp, and egg roll dish that comes with a sauce to pour over. I most definitely recommend giving it a try since the dish is always my go-to dish whenever I go to a Vietnamese restaurant. It's like one of my comfort foods to eat at restaurants. The service was relevantly good and quick for a Thursday afternoon since the one server had a few other tables to attend. The atmosphere was calm, mellow, and had Vietnamese music playing. There is a free parking lot that's shared with other businesses like UPS and Amazon Fresh. read more
I always enjoy a great pho spot and this fits the bill. They are adding 14 additional items to their menu in 2024. My favorite item on their current menu is their short rib pho. The broth is delicious and flavorful. The other items are just as good and fresh and are worth a try. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is in the lot. read more

New spot in Porter Ranch and wanted to try it since I love Pho. Came this past Friday and it was pretty cool. Once you enter they sit you down and you can order from the cashier or from the table when they take your order. The service was really good and attentive they kept checkin to see if I needed anything the entire time. Food: I ordered the chicken pho with no onions and it was decent. I like how they put it in larger bowl, which made it easier to eat and out all the side toppings inside, like the Sprouts, jalapeños, and sauces. The ambiance is nice very clean and Modern decor. It's pretty spacious inside with lots of seating. Very comfortable setting with tvs inside to enjoy eating. Overall, I may me back to try other items on the menu. It's easy parking but a very busy lot it's located in. read more

Was in the area and saw a new Viet restaurant. This place is a little too convenient so I just had to check them out. Originally I thought Savory Pho was going to be a new restaurant bringing their take on Vietnamese food so I had a certain mindset before I arrived. But as I approached the door, I saw something that changed my mindset again. It read Savory Pho by PHO999. I know the Pho 999 chain and love them. Looking at the menu online I see some dishes that would really hit the spot. Anyways, I'm already set we're good, lets go. As I reached the front door I see the by PHO999. It totally took me by surprise. The interior is very nicely decorated. They use a lot of light neutral colors with lighting all around giving a comforting feel. I noticed this place uses many different type of tables and chairs. Chairs being the example, in the center of the restaurant I saw some 4 legged with back chairs, then low stool seats then bench style seating. The perimeter had different types of chairs which was interesting to see. I ordered the Bánh xèo which is a dish that I don't see as often on Viet menus within the SFV and also ordered the Bún bò Huế. Both items hit their marks. I think it was too much food for one person but it was so delicious that I took on the feat without any hesitation. There were so many items I would like to try on the menu like their Bánh mì, some rices dishes and of course the pho. I normally get a Cà Phê Sữa Đá but I already knew it would be too much. Next visit I shall and I did see a 3 bean jelly drink that I used to enjoy back in the days. Hopefully they are all good! Parking: medium size private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Wayne, thanks for dropping by and glad you enjoyed your experience…
The pho here was so delicious and authentic like it was made from a family kitchen. Service was average and the diner like ambiance was casual and calm. I went for the special Pho on the menu. The meat was abundant and delicious. Noodles were not scarce at all! I was super happy with this choice. read more
