After trying the beef noodle here, I see why other Yelpers rave about it…read more It has a deep flavor that's more Taiwanese than a lot of beef noodle soups we find in the SGV area. There's a kick from the spicy oil, but it's not really spicy. It has plenty of flavor. The noodles are on the thick side and fairly springy. Beware of splash damage! I don't use chopsticks properly, so I decided to go improper all the way and just twirled the noodles around the chopsticks as I ate to avoid splashing. Delish! I also added an order of the rice cakes with brown sugar. Those were good, but there was a bit of a weird burnt flavor, I think from the sauce. I'd get it again to see if I can still taste it next time because I just love that dish. I came on a weekday around 1:30 pm, and the restaurant was only partially filled. Service was quick and friendly. I'd come back when I happen to be back in the area.

The combo comes with a choice of dry noodle, a 12+ pieces of the mini pan fried buns and a lemon tea. I got the sesame dry noodle which comes with plenty of sesame sauce, cucumber, carrots and bean sprouts. I feel the sauce was lacking a bit of flavor.. but you can def taste the sesame. The mini pan fried buns was good! It was more like a mini pan fried xiao long bao, but without the juice. I would ordered the mini buns again but maybe try other types of noodles.

The noodles were light and delicious - I finished everything. The chicken was great too but I was so focused on the noodles I had no room for more than 1 bite of chicken! The tea was hydrating and refreshingn. They only have like 3 tables as they're focused on takeout, as evidenced by the tupperware cutlery. But service is good, and they have freshly made dumplings for you to take home if you like to have dinner sorted after a reasonably priced lunch set (:

My go to is the beef stew with egg noodles. Only thing changed is the price. I'm sure it's to keep up with inflation. Still a bargain for what you get. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not coming here. Boss lady is straight to the point, English might not be the best, but you'll get what you came for. Order by picture usually works if the communication is hard. Or order by number. If you're craving something comfy, can go wrong here.

You can mix and match it with both egg noodles and rice noodles of varying thickness. I prefer thin rice noodles because they don't splash when you slurp. You can even order it dry, and the soup will be provided in a separate bowl. The broth is clear and seasoned from all the meat. There are slices of pork and chicken, shrimp, kidney, and fish balls. When you're done, just head over to the cashier to pay.

Even though we had to put our name down and line up outside, the line moved fast. Food came out quickly and decently priced, just look at portion size! I like they have kidney meat available, slightly overcooked on the day we went but had mild flavor with onions and bean sprouts. The soup noodles you get to pick what kind of noodle you want for a customized bowl of deliciousness. Made a Togo order of congee for a sick friend and the included pickled vinegary peppers! I'm the future Togo order is probably the way to do it, saving the limited time you have for lunch. Parking to the side and back of building.

While some dishes passed the taste check, others dishes didn't do the original any justice. Mi/Hu Tieu Thap Cam Dry was light in flavor, but absolutely satisfying. The noodles were bouncy that made every bite enjoyable from start to finish. Hu Tieu Xao was fragrance with that irresistible wok hei flavor. Generously loaded with meat and vegetables, the large portion could easily feed 3 people. So so dishes was Mi Bo Kho was way too gloopy, rather than the rich, fulled bodied. It was lukewarm and many pieces were just fat. Bot Chien arrived last to our table and ended up being a greasy mess. It's safe to say I'll be returning to our OG location where every dish is consistently good.

I always order the no.1 at new pho places as it's always the same combination and it was really good. Northern style pho broth which is a mild broth but not in a bland way, very tasty, clean and didn't have any taste of msg or bouillon/dashi. the typical cheat code a lot of places seem to use to pack some flavor. im not saying it was void of any but I couldn't make it out being asian. hidden gem that could rival any Westminster pho. nice ladies and clean bathroom. definitely will be back.

Yelp profile hasn't been made to reflect any changes, so I'll stick to using this. Came by to order pho dac biet to-go with peach tea. The staff knows Eng, but sticking with Viet was easier. Cantonese is spoken here too. Food came out fast and went home to enjoy my lunch. Nice staff is a plus. The pho was great! The broth was balanced, so I didn't make any adjustments to it. The portion size and price is pretty good, esp the amount of protein they give you. Could use more herbs though, but I like my food more vegetal. Definitely returning. Thanks yall

Not sure why I haven't left a review for this spot yet I've been here a bunch of times already…read more They open pretty early, so it's a solid place to grab pho or other Vietnamese eats in the morning. I usually go for the pho dac biet, but I've also tried the hu tieu and the banh mi xiu mai, which were both pretty decent. Lately, I've been especially into their pho the broth tastes lighter and cleaner (less oily), which I really like. They also do a great job with their takeout game everything is packed well. Prices are reasonable too, which is probably why I keep coming back. Whenever I'm around El Monte these days, this is my go-to lunch spot.

Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to. But honestly, most food that's made like your Mama made it is obviously gonna be better than any restaurant you ever go to. This is like they just happened to have a restaurant in their home. The food came out almost immediately, that broth had been cooking to perfection for who knows how long. Every bite of every dish was PER-FEC-TION. Just WOW. Thank you Auntie!!
