Vui Ve - Pho dac biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very happy with my combination pho delivery. Pho can be tricky for delivery with the noodles which can be gummy if overcooked, and with items like tripe or tendon that aren't great if not hot. But Vui Ve has figured this out to a T. First off, the pho comes in a safe, wide paper bowl with a little plastic tray on top so the soup arrives hot in the bottom portion, and the noodles and meat are on top and can be added in to reheat. The noodles and meat turned out perfectly, which I've almost never experienced with takeout. The broth itself was complex, anise-heavy, and friendly. The meat was quite good quality, especially the wide pieces of chewy, fresh tripe. The meatballs and beef eye round were also great. This takeout was a treat! read more

Vui Ve is one of our go-to choices for quick, fresh, take-out Vietnamese food. We usually door dash and everything is packed well and separated. The BBH is delicious here. The broth is spicy and full of flavor, and the noodle texture is perfect. The soup is separated from the noodles and toppings for the best at-home experience. My only complaint is the toppings are basic - would love a pork hock and blood cubes. The spring rolls are always VERY fresh and the dipping sauce made in house is perfect. I wish the sauce container was much bigger. We usually get the shrimp! We recently ordered and there was a buy 1 get one deal for these, so great value overall. We recently tried the spicy pho tai and it was so good!! Pho broth can sometimes be on the delicate side but this broth was very robust and flavorful. No additions were needed and we were very satisfied. I might prefer this to regular pho broth. I'd love to visit in person one day! I highly recommend Vui Ve - please come by and support! read more

Sometimes, I have lazy days where I want to order delivery. And it's been cold these days so I wanted some pho! Even though I don't really enjoy Vietnamese food in LA compared to OC, I had to cave in because I was missing Vietnamese food too much. Vui Ve does a great job at organizing their takeout bowls, thus made it look so clean compared to other pho takeouts I've done! Tastes ok overall - just your typical southern style pho with thin noodles and strongly aromatic. Definitely prefer this over pho in Koreatown! I would order again whenever I'm lazy and I crave for this! read more

Vui Ve - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am usually skeptical about trying new pho places because they are a hit or miss. I am particularly picky with the bone broth flavor. But this one was a hit! Finished everything down to the juice!! What caught my attention was how aesthetically pleasing and cozy the shop looked. Dinned in around 5:30pm and there were definitely regular's trickling around 6pm along with plenty of to go orders. The waitress was very welcoming and gave us some good suggestions for our first time there. I had my Mind set on the pho brisket and shrimp spring rolls! Which was a great choice cause they did not disappoint. Parking: parking is about $15-20 and they do not provide validation. If you want parking validation I would suggest you park in the little Tokyo parking structure and you can get your ticket. Validated at the cafe or at the Nijiya market. If you park in J parking you can't get validation. read more

The pho was not I expected as the location was in Little Tokyo and it really gave me a surprise. The broth was good and having the combination bowl gave me the meats I was looking for in a bowl of Pho. The ambiance was perfect for having a pho at the time, though the blank wall across the window was making me wish I can have some paint a beach side mural so that the place would have a better personality, but that's just my perception. What threw me off in my first visit is the check-in monitor ordering process, and didn't even notice that there was a counter where I can do my order. Definitely next time I'll order via person, the monitor was just not for me. And since I was mainly there for pho, I'm definitely going to try the bahn mi next time, along with some appetizers. read more

Food... Five stars. Literally best banh mi I've ever had. The bread was perfect. Our other diners had the noodle soup and loved it. It looked very fresh. The creative lemonade type drinks were also good. Service... I guess I give it a four, as for what it was. It was fine. There was a young woman attending to the tables, but you have to order on your way in at a kiosk which annoys me and I think it's totally unnecessary. Ambience... It seems like it should be cuter in there than it is. There's something off about the way the tables are set up and spaced, and the sun in the late afternoon beats down on you through the window and it's brutal if you're sitting in one of those seats. With just a little bit of adjustment, it could be really nice in there. But it's a little past its prime. If you think of this is a really delicious semi-fast food sort of experience, you're going to love it. If you're going there for a date expecting fine dining you're going to be disappointed. read more

Service was amicable, vast array of food in the menu, and the place was humming with clientele. The atmosphere is adorable and welcoming. I ordered some spring rolls which were great but I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their Pho! read more

I haven't had a chance to dine in yet, but the tofu banh mi that I've had a couple of times now is just *chef's kiss* delicious. Full of flavor, heat, and my favorite part - the bread is soft and doesn't scratch up your mouth as traditional French baguette bread does. Also, a great value given the size of the sandwich. Finally - this is a small detail, but I think it's important: I walked in yesterday and ordered take out, and the young woman who took my order greeted me with a smile and was personable. Not a given these days, and much appreciated! Looking forward to actually sitting inside and dining in soon. read more

Vui Ve - Ph Rare Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3.5 stars overall 4 stars for the pho 3 stars for the rolls 2.5 stars for the banana iced coffee As a Vietnamese person who usually heads to SGV or OC for authentic pho (since LA doesn't have many solid options), I was pleasantly surprised that Vui Ve's pho was pretty good. The broth and noodles hit the spot. I've had both the combo beef pho (sans tripe) and spicy chicken, and both were solid. However, I wasn't a big fan of the peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls. It just didn't do it for me. I was also really looking forward to their unique banana iced coffee, but unfortunately, the banana flavor tasted a bit artificial and didn't live up to the hype. Regardless, I'd definitely come back for their pho if I didn't want to make a further trek. read more

24 hour bone broth is offered at this pho spot. Ironically, I had known this until after I eaten at this place and drank all the broth, which was very unusual for me, as I usually eat the ingredients and leave the broth behind when I go to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. Upon breaking my usual trend, I left the restaurant and when I looked behind me, I happened to see their banner about soft opening with the special bone broth. Although I hadn't known it in the moment, my stomach and my tongue definitely had. If you're looking for a classic pho in the area, the broth at Vui ve make it an easy recommendation in my opinion. They could add more meat and more noodle to make it a larger portion size for the price, but otherwise this place will hit the spot just fine. Parking is tough as is usual for Little Tokyo, unless you're willing to pay. read more

Vui Ve is such a gem! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, but what really stands out is the value especially when ordering through UberEats. The portions are generous, prices are super fair, and you still get that homemade quality and authentic flavor that feels like such a win. I've tried the pho and bahn mi and would recommend both! It's quickly become one of my go-tos when I want something delicious without breaking the bank. Vui Ve proves that great food doesn't have to come with a huge price tag. Highly recommend! read more

Went here for lunch several weeks ago with my husband, and we generally enjoyed our dining experience. First off, we didn't even know that there was a pho restaurant in Little Tokyo. The restaurant is actually tucked away on the second floor upstairs near the Gashapon store, which could explain why it was pretty concealed. Before waiting to get seated, you have to select what you want from their menu and pay first. With the recent surge of customers dining and dashing, it's understandable why the staff would implement this payment method. We were promptly seated and ordered an appetizer of eggrolls, two bowls of pho, and drinks. Overall, the food and service were pretty good. We'll probably come back again if we're in the area. read more

Vui Ve - Quality time with the hubby! - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered from this location through Uber Eats and was surprised how much I enjoyed the pho! I've had a hard time finding decent pho spots near Ktown area. I was extremely hungover and in the past I've noticed my hangovers affect my tastebuds and make food taste more bland, so I've had pho many times hungover where it just didn't hit the same way. But this broth actually tasted amazing - now that I'm not hungover and trying the broth again I'm realizing the broth is a bit saltier than I'm used to, but it's absolutely what I needed in the moment. After adding just a tiny bit of water it's perfect. Most times when I get rare steak at pho places, the quality isn't great and it's kind of tough. I was pleasantly surprised that their rare steak was so pillowy and easy to chew! I actually regret getting the brisket add-on because I really didn't need it and the steak was much better. They had very thoughtful packaging for the pho, and even though $10 for a smoothie (probably upcharged due to delivery app pricing) was kind of crazy, I don't regret getting it because it was really good. It had little chunks of mango in it that were really nice. I'm glad I tried a new place out, and thank you for saving me from my horrendous hangover. read more

I really like this place. I love the quality of the food, their bahn mi are delightful. The pho is great, I never have to add anything to it. Their sesame balls!!! Amazing! Their drinks are really tasty as well. I've never been in person and usually just order for delivery since I don't drive. My grievance is with their staff always forgetting to add their delicious mayo butter! I wish there was a way to add it online. I will usually call them when I would like it but sometimes they'll say it's out of stock or that the chef says they can't ): Sucks cause it is sooo good and pairs so well with all of their Bahn Mi! But none the less, really great food!!! read more

I am so glad that little Tokyo has a Vietnamese restaurant in the little Tokyo Village! I have been wanting to try this spot for a while, particularly their lunch special, which is a $17 meal which includes an entreé, appetizer, and a drink! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it for lunch hour, but I did make it for dinner. We ordered the spring roll, sampler, the beef brisket pho, and the pho with beef bone. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed the spring sampler which had delicious fresh veggies inside pork, chicken, and shrimp spring rolls with a side of peanut sauce. The pho soup had a generous portion of meat and a flavorful broth. The broth was a touch salty so I would ask next time for the broth to be less salted. The only other reason this place didn't get that 5th star is because the restaurant smelled very strongly of cleaning chemicals and less like the delicious food they were serving. All in all, I will be back and next time for their lunch special! read more

This review is for take-out orders only. We were craving for a hot bowl of Vietnamese soups, either pho or bun bo hue (spicy beef soup)... and all Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown have closed after 7 pm... so found this place on Yelp and Ubereat app! We placed ordered for brisket beef pho, spicy beef soup (bun bo hue), spring roll samplers and braised beef banh mi. We were skeptical at first... hmmmm Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo?! Well, to our surprise, everything is very tasty. Well-done Brisket pho, $15.95: generous size, tons of thin slide brisket beef. The broth is savory, anise and cinnamon fragrant with plenty of mints, bean sprouts. If you have stuffy nose, this soup will definitely clear your sinus! Bun bo Hue, $15.95: not too bad. It does have good flavor and spicy... do need more shrimp paste though. Served with round vermicelli. I'm impressed! Many restaurants make mistake to use the same noodles as used in pho. Generous amount of thin slide beef, thin slide Vietnamese sausage, and served with mints, thin slices cabbage, jalapenos and lime. Roll samplers, 3 rolls for $15: Shrimp. Chicken and pork, dipped in peanut sauces. The rolls are pretty big. Braised beef banh mi, $9.95: braised brisket beef with pho flavor, diakon, pickled carrots, cilantro, and jalapenos, dipped with pho broth. I had this the next day at work and heated the banh mi and the broth in our office microwave.Everyone in my office wanted a piece of it. It is a nice twist of vietnamese banh mi and french dip. The baguette is still crispy the next day after being microwaved! This place has became one of our favorite take-out in DTLA, Chinatown, and Little Tokyo areas! We definitely will come by and dine in! read more

Ordered Food to go. My first time ordering here. Not sure if I'd order from here again because the food was only okay. Not special. The pho was good. Nice broth. The Summer rolls were bitter tasting and they used iceberg lettuce which is cheap. The lettuce didn't mix well with the flavors. The peanut sauce was overly sweet. The chicken spring rolls were décent but the lettuce they used for wrapping was bitter. Maybe it's just me préférant Green leaf lettuce. The fish sauce was décent. I live near really great viet places so probably wouldn't order here again. read more

I have been ordering Spring rolls from this place for years. Today, I received what could only be described as anemic spring rolls as they were about a quarter wide. Not an acceptable portion by any means. Won't be ordering from here again as they have stopped caring about the quality of the food they sell. Shame. read more

Needed a quick dinner before a dodger game and Vui Ve served! The dining room is on the smaller side but staff were helpful to rearrange to accommodate our party of 5. We had the chicken salad, spring roll sampler, bahn mi in chicken and pork, and brisket pho. The spring roll sampler includes one of each: chicken, shrimp, and pork. The pork sausage was surprisingly my favorite because I'm not a huge fan of pork. It was crispy and flavorful. The peanut sauce was delicious. The spring roll are cut in half so it's shareable. Also filling on its own. I wonder if dipping in pho broth would amplify the taste much like the broth they offer with bahn mi for dipping. I keep forgetting to use my Yelp check in offer but next time! read more

Vui Ve - Spring Rolls - Sampler - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a Vietnamese restaurant located in the Little Akihabara shopping center area of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. I stopped by for a solo lunch after a job interview nearby, craving a warm bowl of pho on a cold day. I ordered the beef brisket pho, and a side of their sesame seed mochi balls. The pho was mid. The soup was pretty plain, noodles were good, the beef brisket was average. It was a hefty portion for the price. The sesame balls were so good! Mini sized, I would come back for these snacks, not so much the pho. The ambiance is very peaceful and relaxing. They played great music the time I was there, the decor is vibey. There is also a bar area. read more

I've been to Vui Ve few times now specifically for the rolls. Spring rolls and egg rolls are what I've picked up here. If you're not really hungry great place to pick up spring rolls to keep it light. I would say call in your order. In case you're short on time and don't want to wait. Great lunch specials during the week from 11:00 am to 3:00pm for $13.95. One of these days I'll give it a try. read more

Evening of 11/20/25. If you're the owner reading this check the schedule to see who was working. Staff and service was rude and terrible. I wanted to sit at the window side table to enjoy the courtyard view which happened to be uncleaned from the prior party. This apparently didn't make the staff too happy because now they actually had to clean the table. There were other tables left un bussed and restaurant was filthy. The restaurant was not busy (only 2 other parties which have already been served) Rows of empty drinks and glasses left on bar countertop. Girl behind the bar/prep area was especially rude. If you're the owner, get your staff straight. Hate to see a small business fail. Reading the other reviews this seems to be a pattern. I think it's time to take a hint. read more

This was my initial visit and we opted for the ox tail pho, however the noodles were slightly overcooked. The broth was better than I expected. We also ordered the vermicelli, which was not as flavorful which included a vegetable eggroll, that I typically don't favor. The standout was the spring rolls, which were exceptionally good. read more

I've ordered from here on Uber Eats and thought we'd give the restaurant a try. So we walk in and you order first before being seated. I shouldn't have ordered in Vietnamese though, they have a diverse staff. The pho was flavorful and came with two types of chili and basil but the pho noodles were a little overcooked. The stars were the pork sausage rolls that come with a great chunky thick peanut sauce, and the lychee green tea! Nice ambience inside since the place looks recently renovated. read more

This is for strictly for the delivery and food quality i usually get from this place. I can't speak to ambience or service inside. I love pho, and first couple of times i have ordered, it was perfect! But unfortunately I can no longer order from here. I am one of those unfortunate people that cilantro tastes like soap to me. ( its not a diva behavior, its actually genetic) and just a small amount ruins the whole meal!! So I appreciated the fact that you can choose NO CILANTRO option on delivery apps. But last 3 times i have ordered and selected NO CILANTRO , food came in with full cilantro in them. I am not asking impossible things, i just wanted them not to put it in the pho. Anyways, they do not follow instructions. Bummer read more

Love love LOVE this place! This pho restaurant is hands-down one of my favorites! No other place makes their pho as perfectly spicy as they do. If you're someone who loves intense heat that'll make you tear up (in the best way), this is the spot for you. My go-to when I'm feeling under the weather is the oxtail pho, extra spicy--it's so comforting and flavorful. I also love that they're generous with the shrimp in the shrimp pho. Another must-try is their brisket sandwich, which is absolutely delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything here is incredible, and I can't recommend it enough! And I love how quiet and clean the place is . Getting here is a bit tricky. It's inside the Japanese Village Plaza in the far back. read more

Had high hopes and left underwhelmed and disappointed. Walking in you're forced to order and pay for everything before you get it and now, I can see why. I'm pissed I wasted money. We were the only ones in there and it took forever to get the 3 things we ordered. Once we did, my broth came out lukewarm, I had to send it back to be "reheated". They didn't even offer a new bowl plus the noodles tasted prepackaged. The fried rice my bf ordered tasted solely of fish sauce. The egg rolls were oily and bland. To top it off the waitress didn't check on us the entire time we were seated nor did she offer a single refill. Vibe was not it and I 0/10 recommend. No pics as I was focused on how subpar everything was! read more

The Pho Ga (add spicy for 75cents) is SOOOOO FLAVORFUL and spicy! Love their chicken soup so much that I didn't need to add sriracha or lime. Eventually, I did add lime just to see how it would taste and it was still yummy and flavorful. Gave it a fresh citrus taste! They were pet friendly and allowed my service pup in as well! Chicken was dry but the broth was good so it evened out lol Banana coffee OMG DO NOT DOUBT YOURSELF and do IT!! Its such a unique and great pair (: Checking in also give you 10% off your purchase (until they decide to change the policy) which is a great way of encourage people to give this place a shot! Service wise, very thoughtful Even tho I had ordered a Nana Coffee already they still brought me a water without me asking. Tiny gestures guys, they count. It's the thought in it (: The vibe is chill great, mom and pop tasting food with modern hip music. (The kids really said mom & dad, y'all do the cooking and we are in charge of the ambiance LOL!!) Crystal Castles, The Strokes, Weezer, etc are all playing while you dine in! What a nice nostalgic throwback ^_^ read more

Ordered off Uber Eats for the first time, and was very pleasantly surprised! Definitely the best pho I've had in the DTLA area so far. I ordered the pho rare steak and the shrimp spring rolls. Everything was packaged very well, and they were generous with the noodles and toppings/garnish for the pho. The broth was amazing - I usually add sriracha and hoisin for taste, but the flavor was so rich that I didn't feel the need to at all. The amount of steak given for the pho was average, but you can add additional protein for a few extra dollars. The spring rolls were also delicious and refreshing. Overall, would highly recommended as a to-go pho spot, and looking forward to visiting in person sometime! read more
