    Accidentally ended up in this strip mall and decided to get a bowl of Pho in this place. I was impressed by friendliness and professionalism of the staff. I absolutely LOVED how the pho was packaged to go. It was a multi-tiered soup bowl with separate compartment for noodles and meats. But.... The mot important thing in Pho is broth and this one just wasn't rich enough for my taste. But the soup was still good and if I didn't have other options I'd eat here again.

    What a nice place, very relaxing and laid back vibe, exactly what ai needed on a rainy day. The people were super friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and fresh. The place is clean and comfortable. I will absolutely be coming back to try different food, they deserve the business and the good reviews.

    #5 - Chicken Breast Pho , Lychee Slushies & Thai Tea

    This is the best Pho ever . I'm pregnant and this has been my pregnancy craving ever since I've tried it. Everything taste fresh and flavorful. The customer service is amazing, feels like family. They have happy hour where you dine in and get a free Thai tea which is 10/10. Everything about this place is a 10/10. My favorite thing to get is the chicken Pho and a lychee slushie. I've been here multiple times and have never been disturbed. The place is small and welcoming, quite with nice soothing music.

    This is one of those Viet spots that have a smaller focused menu that highlights classics like pho and stirfry dishes but we keep coming back to this neighborhood restaurant because they always kept to its amazing taste. I love the plants in the inside! It really changes the ambience to your aunties home with a bunch of plants. Made the same order as I did when I was in high school as a college student and I still feel it's the same. How comforting! Please stay in this plaza forever!! The world must know what a home cooked meal is like!

    Came here for lunch today for pho. Parking here was easy as they had a lot. I got the special combination pho and it wasn't good. The bean sprouts were not fresh and smelled like it was fermenting. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. The broth also tasted bland. I think their Cambodian dishes might be better though.

    Apparently the number on yelp is the wrong one. They took my order and everything but it wasn't the correct place

    The foods always fresh and it's great service. There was a time when I was coming here 2x a week

    I've always passed by this place, I think what attracted my attention was the name. Reviews seem pretty solid. AMBIANCE: Parking: Plaza parking, room for about 20 cars. I didn't have any issues. Seating: Inside seating. Great for groups, room for about 20 people. Feels: It's off of Pacific Coast Highway. Closest landmark was probably Long Beach City College. Other than that it's not the touristy side but moreover just your grit and grind area. The spot itself is pretty nice. Nothing too flashy. I dig the classic Cambodian (I think) music. The chandeliers are pretty nice and the huge pond of fish painting is quite majestic. Great for families or comfort eating. FOOD: Beef Stew (Recommend) Delicious. A fulfilling dish that's well seasoned. I'm generally used to thicker broth but this was pretty good and comforting. I appreciated the chunks of carrots and the mixing hints of onions and lemongrass. Noodles were well cooked and the beef was tender. Add the wonderful elements of mint, lime, and peppers for a superb kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The order was relatively quick and follow-up was great. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. This place is great! Simple comforting spot with great selections, delicious food, and reasonable spots. There are plenty of Cambodian/Vietnamese places here in Long Beach but this is another promising spot. They don't have Chinese donuts but can't blame them if they don't have it (just an FYI heads up). Aside from that this place is great! TIPS: * They got boba too!

    Pork Egg Rolls

    Good place for Pho and stir-fried dishes in Long Beach. We haven't been back in a while, and I really wanted a warm bowl of Pho mid-morning, so stopped in for dine-in after an appointment. LIke other noodle shops, they open early (9am) and serve the entire menu. I've really come to appreciate being able to have noodle soup for breakfast, usually in a less crowded atmosphere. We were seated promptly, with glasses of water being brought. The menu has boba tea, smoothies, and slushies along with rice porridge, various stir-fry dishes, and of course, pho. - pork egg rolls ($6.49). Very good. Five spring roll pieces, with dipping sauce...served immediately after it came from a deep fryer. Loved it. - Stir fried broccoli with chicken ($10.99) - served with white rice, the brown sauce was exactly how we liked it, and would appeal to ones who like brown sauce (no corn starch) from a typical Chinese restaurant (i.e. no fish sauce added). It's a good value, and the ingredients were good. - Combination Pho ($12.49 for L): I like the pho here (had it many times). The broth is very clean, not oily, but also lacks a strong beef flavor. One should wait a bit to let the rice noodles soak in the broth (since it can be a bit hard in the beginning). The combo comes with a lot of different meats, but I could only identify rare steak, tendon (one large piece), tripe (very small pieces), and a lot of quartered meatballs (which I love)...no brisket or flank.. It came with a side of fresh, uncooked bean sprouts, one snip of Thai Basil, and sliced jalapeno. It did take a bit of time to get the pho bowl out, so most likely there is not a simmering pot of beef broth ready to go, like there would be in a high traffic pho restaurant. Like most Asian restaurants, the food came as it was finished cooking individually, so we ended up getting the broccoli chicken first, then waited a bit for the pho, then waited some more for the appetizer. The service was good, keeping our water filled and delivering our food hot. You pay upfront, and they have a digital system where you can go touchless. It's nice that to have a restaurant this close, where they serve good pho but also Chinese dishes for those in your party who don't care for the lemongrass/fish sauce/peanut flavor that is prevalent in Southeast Asian cooking.

    It's been months since I've visited this place, but if I'm ever in the area again, I'll come back. Came here during the end of the shut down...well like late 2020. There weren't any curfews but we couldn't eat indoors. Anyway, I ordered com bo luc lac because that's my favorite and it was yummy. The meat was flavorful and tender. I also ordered pho but I didn't taste it so I can't speak to it. I do know it was finished so it couldn't have been horrible. The customer service was friendly as well.

    You're probably wondering why I took a picture of an empty plate ... It was that good I forgot to take a picture , presentation was amazing . Small hole in the wall but this place is a GEM . #16 & 14 bomb.

    Combination Pho. Super tasty

    Amazing service and great food. Pho and otherwise. They do not skimp out on the pho noodles or the meat. Lots of places tend to. The pho like everyone says is very savory. This is my favorite spot

    We kind of found this place on accident. We intended to dine at sophy's down a few blocks but they were closed . So we backtracked to Wok and Pho . We were greeted by a friendly smiling lady behind the counter. The patient lady left us to look over the menu . Of course we were undecided on what we want to eat . She did make some suggestions and of course we all went with what she recommended for us to eat lol! The restaurant most popular stir fried noodles cambodian mee kah tang ( similar to chow fun or lad Nah but better ) Mee kah tang were delicious and in the middle of us eating , we ordered another plate. Hubby had baw baw Kreung , cambodian pork blood and pork innards rice porridge. It was ok for us. Missing that savory taste as we were accustomed to at other establishments. The lady also recommends their special pork sliced over rice with some delicious sauce. Yup! It's different and it was a winner for sure. I had their kuy teav Phnom Penh, cambodian pork broth rice noodle soup. It's lacking flavors for me . It's not bad , but it could be better. The broth is bland and missing that umami aroma . Overall we had an excellent service and food were delicious.

My friend and I shared a variety of dishes: -Student Noodle: If chow mein and pad thai had a baby, this would be that dish. Without the fish sauce, the noodles tasted like chow mein. This dish overall was good! While I would still opt for pad thai, the noodle texture was good and I enjoyed the flavors. We got this with crispy pork and it was tasty, but I wish it was crispier. I liked how it wasn't too fatty. -Fish Amok: It did not look like the picture, but the dish was still good. It was a sweet fish curry which was sweet from the coconut milk. This was tasty and the fish was soft. It wasn't fishy at all. This paired well with the rice. I would still opt for a savory curry though. -Beef Skewers: These were yummy and I enjoyed the charred flavor of these! The flavor was very similar to Filipino skewers. I liked how even the fatty parts were enjoyable. Steamed Rice: Fluffy and not mushy which I liked. It came served in this cute rice bucket which preserved the heat of it. The restaurant was decorated nicely and was pretty clean. Bathrooms available which were also clean. The service was good and attentive. There's lots of free parking in the lot in front. Overall, a solid Cambodian restaurant that's worth checking out in the Long Beach area!

The iced coffee was solid. The bad: The women who work here were a lot less friendly. The tables were so close to one another that we couldn't sit across from one another. Food also took an incredibly long time to come out even though we only ordered two dishes--student noodles and beef skewers. We also had to wave down a server just to follow up on the iced coffee that I ordered, especially since this was already after the food had finally arrived. Lastly, while it was good that they had their own parking lot, exiting through the almost too narrow alley was incredibly challenging in either direction. All in all, still remain torn about returning.

The service was EXCELLENT, the decor was beautiful, there were lots of flowers and lavender lighting throughout the venue. With such an elaborate menu and a large group to feed, there was no delay in keeping the flow of dishes in and pick-up of finished dishes. This was a 8-course dinner, served family style. Large platters of food were brought to our table of 8 guests, which was better than a buffet with hundreds of people waiting in line. Course #1 - Khmer Cold Plate with cured meats, shrimp, and pickled veggies. Good combination of protein and veggies. Course #2 - Grilled Beef with Prahok dipping sauce. Good smokey and rich flavor. Course #3 - Crispy Quail - with Khmer seasoning. Very crunchy and different way to eat Quail. Course #4 - Fish soup in a savory broth. I think this should have been Course #2 before the beef entree. Course #5 - Whole fish with pineapple garnish on a bed of noodles. My personal favorite. Course #6 - Lobster claws with Chow Mein, Veggies and Garlic sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed this one! Course #7 - Pork Fried Rice with diced veggies. Rice was definitely a welcome addition to the meal. Course #8 - Taro dessert with Coconut Milk topping. Not overly sweet, a nice way to round out and end the fabulous meal. I am still in awe of the wonderful time we all had. There was a stage and dance floor on the north side of the dining room. Entertainment by a DJ who played a variety of traditional music and popular tunes as well. They do have a small parking lot with valet service.

The event started at 6 pm, and we expected the seven course dinner to begin around 7 pm, but they didn't start serving until almost 8 pm. By then, everyone was getting hungry. The servers also didn't check on any of the tables throughout the dinner. They simply brought out each course and left. They even started cleaning up about 30 minutes before the event ended. That would've been fine if the tables had been empty, but they actually asked us to get out of our seats so they could remove the table and chair linens. As for the food, some dishes were good while others were just average: Traditional cold plate: 4/5 - I liked the century eggs, and the pickled vegetables were refreshing. Beef steak with anchovy sauce: 3/5 - The beef was well seasoned and nicely charred, but it didn't come with the anchovy sauce that was listed on the menu. House special lobster with egg noodles: 4/5 - The lobster was good, and the noodles were flavorful, but they could've been cooked a little longer since they were a bit too al dente for my taste. Crab meat soup: 3/5 - The soup was thick and flavorful, but it barely had any crab. I'm not sure what else was in it, but it had white square pieces that reminded me of chicharrones with a seafood flavor. House special fried rice: 4/5 - It was flavorful and had plenty of Chinese sausage, but I wish it had more shrimp. Sweet and sour fish and shrimp soup: 3/5 - There was an ingredient I wasn't a fan of. I think they added mint, which gave the soup an unusual flavor. It just wasn't for me. Taro dessert: 4/5 - This was pretty good and was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, I don't see myself coming back to dine here. The food was decent, but there are just too many better restaurants to choose from.

    3/29/2025 This will be my first time dining here in the AM…read more I've had in the past only dined in the evenings or special occasional events held here. The restaurant interior seems to be under construction/ renovation. Elated to see they updated their menu with some written descriptions and photos of the each food items. This really helps with deciding factors for some customers who might not be familiar with Cambodian food. Service provided by a young gentleman was great , He was friendly , attentive and apologetic . What a disappointment uuggghhh!!!!! Cha qua ( fry breads/ fry donuts) At first glance myself and my mom already knew the Cha qua was not cooked properly , it has some weight to it, ( should be light and fluffy) the dough was raw inside. I sent it back. The waiter was apologetic and a few minutes later came out with a new batch of Cha qua . I kid you not, I just chuckled and shook my head . I explained to the waiter, clearly the cha qua is not cooked properly, has a strong odor smell of yeast and the flour is not cooked through and as an experienced home cooks between my mom & myself the dough did not have time to rise and the flour ratio was not properly measured. The young waiter apologized once more and came back from the kitchen explaining what my mom and I had speculated . We asked that he not charge us for the cha qua. So , I didn't think this could get any worse right? LOL!! Cha mee khatang ( similar to chow fun / pad see ew ) I opted for seafood as protein of choice, with shrimps, imitation crabs & squids . The Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly. Except this dish didn't have much flavor. I rate it 2/5 BBQ roasted duck $25 for a half order. I been anticipating to try their duck for a few years now. To my dismay it was awful , damn! I expected so much more and it didn't meet my expectations. The skin was not crispy, had a funky gamy scent & tasteless flavor and came out cold at that. Rate 2/5 Baw Baw Kreung ( Cambodian innards / pork blood rice porridge. ) Deep sighs ... another disappointment dish . The rice porridge lacks savory taste, it was a tad under salt , by adding the fermented soybeans helps uplift the flavor. I find it gross! the minuscule fragments innards pieces has a bowel odor taste in our mouths. 1/5 Boat Noodle soup , was okay but needed some improvement. The noodles were too overcooked , texture was mushy, the flavor didn't have the savory beefy aroma, appreciate the fresh ong choy vegetables Rate3/5 Beef Stew w/ bread , crunchy crispy hot bread always hit the spot, dunk in hot beefy stew warms the heart. Unfortunately this dish stop short of a perfect meal. Although the meat was tender , the broth lacks the familiarity aroma of spices and lemongrass scent associated with this dish.. Rate 3/5

    I can only speak for the takeout because it was a busy night and parking was hard to find…read more What's cool is they open so late! Not many places in Long Beach do. We ordered the som law ma chew kreung - green sour soup with crunchy veggies, my fave and it was so tasty! They gave a side of fish sauce but you didn't need it. It was good already Beef sticks were a little chewy for me but I put it back in my air fryer to make it more crispy. That might be more of a personal preference than the way it was cooked. The marinate was flavorful as well I liked the bee We also ordered the rice spring rolls. They were packed so full by the time I got home they basically exploded. So I probably wouldn't order those to go again.

    Had high hopes for a good Cambodian place in Long Beach but unfortunately, this place ain't it. The…read morebeef salad is okay, not good, just okay. It's well seasoned but it doesn't have that funk and herbaceousness. It actually had barely any herbs, just a few pieces of Thai basil and what I think is fish mint leaf, romaine lettuce. Jalapenos and bell pepper. As usual, if you're in the Stockton area in NorCal, go to Mitapheap restaurant and try their version. It's the best one yet. Their smoothie is not smoothie-ing. Ice is CHONKY. Amok is really good though. Order this one. I probably didn't order the best dishes they're known for but I don't see myself within the area for late night eats. A Cambodian family in the next table was criticizing their order too. Anyway, they do get a lot of ordered food to-go. A few men were playing dominoes in the middle of the restaurant and the guy in the next table had his feet up on a chair. Restroom was clean.

    This little gem in Long Beach is a great spot to grab some great food!…read more It's a very small building and there are a few seats outside or you may need to eat in your car but it's worth it! Items to order - the giant fried squid , egg rolls , salt and pepper wings and the seafood chowder!

    We order from A&J's often--almost every week at this point--which is why this experience was so…read moredisappointing. Unfortunately, one employee, Marisol, consistently provides poor customer service. She comes across as combative, takes no accountability for mistakes, and makes resolving simple issues unnecessarily difficult. My daughter called in our usual order for pickup. When she arrived, she immediately noticed something was wrong because the total was much lower than expected. When she politely brought it to Marisol's attention, instead of acknowledging that there may have been a mistake, Marisol insisted the order had never been placed that way. She then asked my daughter if she wanted to order the missing item while she was already there to pick up her food, which would require waiting another 15 minutes. Since the delay was the result of an incorrect order, my daughter asked if she could at least receive fresh fries while waiting. Marisol told her she would have to pay extra for fresh fries. Marisol also claimed that she had repeated the order back over the phone when it was originally placed. That simply isn't true. She rushed my daughter off the phone, saying she'd see her in 15 minutes, without reviewing the order. We've continued to support A&J's because the food is consistently excellent, but experiences like this make it harder to keep coming back. Great food can only go so far when customers are made to feel dismissed instead of valued. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and provides additional customer service training so loyal customers receive the experience they deserve.
