Took a chance to try this place for take out dinner as we are no familiar with the area and needed a quick nourishing meal and pho for a sick kiddo. Finding the location was a bit tricky because it's in a wonky shopping center corner with very few spots in front of restaurant to hop out and grab our order. I started regretting order form here as I had a sick kid in the car I couldn't leave alone in a far away parking spot. But i did what I had to do and ran inside to grab our food. The place was packed and I knew right away this would be worth it. And it sure was! The most delicious brisket pho.. perked my kid right up! Husband ordered the veggie lover dish with rice and he loved it. He's quite picky so this fact impressed me! Thanks We Love Pho 2. We will be back! read more

First revisit , 2026 Review. Entered this location and was told to sit there or here. Pho is good, no complaints about that at all. Food is actually pretty good! My biggest complaint for this year is customer service. The people (servers / Host) inside this establishment forgot their customer service etiquette! We ordered one time and food was delivered, nobody came back to check up on us. Never came back to ask us how we were doing or do we need a refill of water. Something of that nature. They are so busy taking their online orders, they actually forgot about the people sitting in the restaurant. Disappointing. This place is a hit and miss with me. I experience the good and the bad. This time the bad was noticeable. They need to change their focus and commit to what is important, which is the peope dining. Also they had a corrective sign which states, food temperature correction. I was shocked to see that. I still would come here. They need improvement on their customer service manners. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 4pm got seated right away. Rainy day quickly got full. Small space. Service was good. Two tvs and bathrooms. Ordered the brisket small size. Enough meat in it and good amount of noodles. The broth was good but on the sweeter side I prefer savory. Condiments were fresh. All in all good for a one time try. read more

This is my go to spot for pho! The broth has great flavor. I usually go around 1, but the last time went right at 12 for lunch and it was a bit busy. Just waited a few mins. Pho was delicious as usual and I love that they have lunch combos. I'm a noodle soup lover, so for me to return, it's worth it. read more

Great hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The pho is super tasty and service is fair. Menus are QR codes so you will need a smart phone (yes, not everyone has one). They have great lunch specials of pho with a spring roll and soda. Comes in small or large portions. I had the rare beef and my daughter had the chicken. They are generous with the meat. You must try this place if you haven't! read more

We Love Pho 2 - Pho Sliced Rare Beef & Beef Meatballs - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

You Love Pho? We Love Pho 2. I Love Pho 3! Set! Actually, I'm not totally sure that would be considered a proper set in that card game, but either way, if you love pho, you'll almost certainly love the pho at We Love Pho 2! I went out for lunch with a co-worker who had been to this pho spot before a couple of times, but I hadn't been. I hadn't had pho in over two years, and that was at an airport in a different state lol. What better way to break my fast of pho than at We Love Pho...2! But no We Love Pho 1? Well, I don't know if there ever was one (or 1), so I can't really comment on that lol. We Love Pho 2 is located on the northeast corner of Carson and Norse. There's a pretty big menu board on the sidewalk where passersby could stop by and check out what offerings are available at this Vietnamese eatery just east of Lakewood Blvd. It's also right next to a sculpture of a tennis racket and ball that you'd normally see at parks signifying that they have tennis courts. In this case, the tennis courts are on the other side of Carson St at Long Beach Community College (LBCC). As soon as we walked in, a server in the back pointed towards an empty table where we could sit. They don't have any laminated or paper menus; instead, they just have a QR code that you scan with your phone so you can see their menu. My co-worker ordered the #30 Shaken Beef with Rice. When I read the description of that on the menu, it almost sounded like there'd be no vegetables, but it turns out there was a good amount of vegetables on there. When I saw my co-worker's dish, it almost looked like a deconstructed hamburger with some steak fajitas piled into the mix. It looked pretty good, but seeing that it was my first time at a place that specializes in pho, I felt it would have been remiss to choose a non-pho dish. There are a dozen choices for pho - rice noodle soup, but keep in mind some only come in Large size. I didn't see any empty bowl sizes, like boba shops would have empty cups at the register to inform the customer how much drink they'd be getting. Luckily, we saw a few bowls on other tables, and my co-worker immediately knew they were the Large size. Having empty bowls available for the customer to see up front would be very helpful here. I was torn between the #9 Pho Special Combo and the #11 House Special Egg Noodle, the latter of which comes with quail eggs. I wasn't sure how I'd like quail eggs in pho, so I went with the #9 Pho Special Combo, which comes with sliced rare beef, brisket, tendon & beef meatballs in a beef broth. It took about 5 minutes for the server to come and take our orders, and it took even less time than that for my order to come out! That's how fast it was! It's like they already had the soup prepared in a large pot and just poured it out onto a large bowl for me to consume. Alongside my bowl was a small plate that held basil leaves, bean sprouts, and a lime wedge. It took about a couple more minutes for my co-worker's Shaken Beef to come out, but we also got some spring rolls to share. The spring rolls came at the same time as my #9 Pho Special Combo, so we could commence eating at the same time. One order of spring rolls consist of three rolls supplemented by a peanut sauce of some sort. Each roll, wrapped in rice paper, has some sliced pork and shrimp alongside a small medley of vegetables. I had one and enjoyed it with the peanut sauce, but didn't like how the rice paper got pretty sticky on my fingers. They also have shrimp rolls, which are the same minus the sliced pork; it's pretty much the pescatarian version of spring rolls. My co-worker enjoyed his shaken beef with rice and various vegetables, which also included lettuce and tomato, hence the aforementioned deconstructed burger. I enjoyed my pho as well! After dumping the contents from the small plate into my bowl, I poured some sriracha sauce on the plate to dip the beef into, and that was pretty good I must say! I also added some hoisin sauce in my soup since the beef broth, while delish and flavorful on its own for the sodium-conscious, could have used more flavor in my opinion. The noodles did get quite clumpy at the bottom of the bowl, however, but it wasn't too much of a drawback for me, though I understand it might be for others. We also got a couple of fortune cookies alongside our receipt, but the fortunes inside were more akin to proverbs. For parking, there are a handful of spots on Norse Way, but if all the spots closer to Carson are taken, there's also parking in rear. The food itself was worth 5 stars, but I later realized that we could have gotten egg rolls and soda for free since we came during the lunch special hours, which are weekdays from 10 AM to 3 PM. The server didn't mention anything about that. Also, for the Large #9 Pho Special Combo I ordered, the menu outside states that it's $15.50, but the online menu says $16.50. Our server also seemed kind of dull and vapid during our visit. read more

A friend took me here. Wonderful spot. Everything was delicious and taste tasted fresh and the portion for the lunch special was quite good. The one way to blow my socks off when it comes to Pho is the broth. I found this broth to be good but not as rich as I would've liked it. read more

My husband and I finally got to try this place out after years of driving past it. I ordered the number 14, slow cooked brisket large size. Flavor was great, it wasn't salty at all and I loved the portions of meat and noodles. The soup came out piping hot so I had to wait a while before I dived in. This will probably be our new go to pho place when we are looking for a nice hot bowl of soup. read more

We Love Pho 2 - Number 14 large slow cooked brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

The best tasting and the most flavorful Pho I've tasted. Perfectly cook. Service crew is attentive. Ambiance is casual.

The food is great and the ambience is okay. The only issue I'd say, being in the food service industry myself, is that FOH isn't that attentive to the patrons. Not once did one of the two servers check on me after bringing out my order during a very slow lunch rush. The only time I was approached again was when they wanted me to pay. However, I wanted to add something else to my order. So they took back the check they initially brought, and had to make a new check to charge me for lettuce. All in all, it was an average experience, despite having to wait so long for the attention of the servers for extra lettuce. read more

Always hits the spot never fails, the broth always good Best egg rolls that's for sure, and service always quick and polite

We had take out from here recently. Ordered the crispy noodle dish and the vermicelli with egg rolls. We both liked the crispy noodles. The noodles stayed crisp for a while and the sauce was not salty. The shrimp and veggies on top were good. The vermicelli on the other hand was not that good. There was a lot of mint that was rotten, the noodles were way over cooked and spicy, breaking when we tried to pick them up. We would not order that again. If you want more seasoned food, I would not recommend this location. Everything was a bit bland which I don't mind as I hate salty food. Just add a sprinkle of extra seasoning and you should be fine read more

My family loves pho--it's our go-to meal whenever we eat out. We've been coming to We Love Pho 2 since we moved to Long Beach four years ago, and in our opinion, they serve some of the best pho we've ever had--even compared to places in Little Saigon! The broth is rich and well-balanced, and I especially love that it's always served piping hot. Their egg rolls are also a standout--crispy, flavorful, and just perfect. Even my kids, who are extremely picky eaters, absolutely love the pho here. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

A lovely pho restaurant right across the street from Long Beach city college! My party of 2 was seated right away and our food came out within 10 minutes. I highly recommend trying their vermicelli dishes if you're looking for something light with lots of protein! And if you're in the cozy mood or it's raining outside, their pho broth is phenomenal! read more

Food I got some food to go as it was a rainy day and wanted something warm and soothing. I got the filet mignon pho and spring rolls. The spring rolls were okay, they had a pork and shrimp filling which were a bit bland and had to be lifted up with the peanut sauce it came with. The actual pho itself tho was pretty nice. Being a to go order, the broth was still pretty hot and managed to cook the raw meat it came with. The meat was very soft and tender and the broth was very flavorful Service/Ambiance Since it was a to go order, i got my order pretty quick read more

Pho here was really tasty. I was on a liquid fast so could only eat broth but what I loved is they had the roasted garlic at the table -- so good! My only issue is the broth tasted slightly sweet like it had sugar in it. I'm not sure if authentic pho recipes has sugar so I didn't knock off any stars for it. Hubby loved his and scarfed down the whole bowl. I will admit I got a small reaction. Allergies maybe due to some additive. Again, I didn't knock off any stars because I didn't really get to see a list of ingredients in their broth, but I will next time. The place is small but clean. Service was a little slow. I will definitely be back once I off my fast! read more
