I came in for a weekday lunch and there was no line to sit down, but it was still quite popular!! There is exclusively indoor seating w/ a nice AC going that is very pleasant in this heat. There's free parking adjacent to the restaurant as well as free street parking nearby. Pho Tai Nam 5/5, omg I will have daydreams about this broth!! Umani and tangy and soooo smooth and perfect w my beef + noodles!! I normally immediately go for sriracha + mint + bean sprouts + lime and I hesitated to change anything about this!!

Though right on La Brea, there was plenty of street metered spots right out front when we came by on a Sunday afternoon. The crispy egg rolls were delicious, and both of our soups were pretty good. The bon rieu was definitely better than the dac biet, which was a bit boring and nothing to write home about. I would come back for the bon rieu, but as we are on the hunt for a good pho spot, may need to keep looking. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which is cute, however the service dining in left something to be desired.

Apparently, the owners are also Vietnamese so that helps with how the food is prepared and cooked. I ordered the that pho dac biet and enjoyed how flavorful the broth was. You could tell that it took days to make and was not made on the spot. The service was very nice and friendly. There is a takeout outside and a dine inside. They do not have a parking lot so you will have to find street parking, but it's much easier at night time.

I've never once been here without ordering the Octopus - even back when it was in the secret menu. I've brought many meat eaters here who absolutely loved it as well. Come here and come here often! I recommend the octopus, the curry rice, the sushi roll and the ravioli. Also the juices are so good!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cute atmosphere, with great lunch specials…read more The hubby and I were looking for a good lunch spot in the area and Vietnamese sounded really good. The space was very cute, with great light from the windows and fun personal photos and memorabilia. We were pleasantly surprised by their $20 lunch specials and decided to take advantage. You get three items, one from each category: starters, half size pho, and beverage. I got the spring rolls, veg pho and iced coffee; the hubby got the half veg banh mi, veg pho, and a coke. The food was good and the portions were more than enough. We actually ended up taking some of the starters home. A very good value and friendly service. Lastly, gotta give it up for their shirt with the OutKast reference. Peace out.

I used to regularly pick up the Iced Thai Coffee during my breaks at work and the street style fried rice when I left work late but today I wanted to go slow with some Beef Meatball Pho. I haven't sat down here in a while so the menu's seen some changes. A few of the drinks I used to get don't appear anymore but the popular Iced Thai Coffee and Thai Tea were still there. Though coming in, the guy behind the counter asked me not to sit on my regular spot, almost got my order wrong and asked how the food was before I started eating. It really harshed my vibe of the place. The bowls of pho now use red onions instead of white. They taste a bit more biting than before with a lingering aftertaste. Staff say the changes were made a few months ago and it definitely gave the soup more impact. Though the Strawberry Limeade wasn't a very good pairing. The meatballs are cut and portioned differently as well. Though not too different as to how they were before, the ingredient looks ready to be had in other dishes like a Bahn Mi. Overall different to how I used to have it. I'd had considered a dessert but the same wait staff presented me with my bill before I could consider. Overall an odd dining experience where I felt rushed and a little unwelcome. Though it's always good to see familiar faces among the staff.

I've tried a lot of food here, but the items I keep coming back for are their grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls and bun bo hue.

Their bun bo hue always hits the spot when I'm craving it without having to drive further out.

For around $18, the meal came with two eggs and what I can only describe as rubbery pork. While the eggs were decent, the meat was a huge letdown. It had an off-putting texture that made me question whether it was an older or inferior cut. The taste was overwhelmingly salty--more like salted pork than the sweet, rich flavor I was expecting from caramelized pork. To top it off, I spent over $40 something dollars for my meal and for Postmates delivery to the South Bay, which makes this disappointment even harder to swallow. I'm not sure I'd order from Be U again unless someone else is footing the bill. I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. If you're craving Vietnamese food, you might want to explore other options.

The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They take the time to offer recommendations and help you decide if you're unsure what to order, which is something I really appreciate when dining out. Some of my favorites are the shrimp salad rolls with their delicious peanut sauce, the spicy edamame, the spicy chicken wings, the shrimp fried rice, and my absolute favorite is the sizzling spicy barbecue pork hot pan. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their Thai tea is always refreshing, and from time to time I stop by just to grab one of their Vietnamese coffees, which never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food with amazing flavors, generous portions, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend giving The Sister's Café a try!
