“ this place is pretty tasty, i would say it's one of the better pho places in west LA. good portions for the price, they don't skimp on the meat and the banh mis are huge! the bread is soft and not crispy like the other banh MIs I've had but definitely will still come back because it makes up for the non crispy bread from the quantity and quality of the filling! ”
“ So far this is the only Vietnamese restaurant I like in West LA. They don't have any seating and it's mainly a take out, order to-go place. I've had a rice plate here and it was pretty good and authentic. Nothing like the SGV, but I would take this. Service is quick. I only had to wait about 10 minutes for my meal. ”
“ One of Best Vietnamese food by far! Been going to this place for many years (old location on Wilshire and Barrington) and food and service have consistently been great. I placed a large order yesterday through a third party app and spoke to Eddie on the phone to confirm everything was correct and enough food and he was so helpful, pleasant to speak to and professional. Food was excellent as always! Thanks again Eddie! ”
“ I stopped by on a Friday evening and ordered the spicy garlic chicken rice bowl. It took around 10-15 minutes for my order to be ready, so I walked around the block during the wait. The portions were much larger than I expected! It felt like a very good portion and taste for the price. I would gladly come back here again! The restaurant is only take out, which I was surprised to notice when I arrived. There was a small crowd of people outside the restaurant waiting for orders as well. In hindsight, I would definitely order ahead of time and stop by to pick it up. Though the parking lot is very small and crowded, so I would maybe parked on the street next time around. ”
“ The food is amazing. The manager Lucio that helps the customers is so nice and patient and very professional. I come here because of the service the the chefs amazing flavored food and fast prepping. Thank you. Dish below is Araceli ”
“ Good but not great. After Covid they closed down the WLA restaurant and made it into a Togo kitchen. Burbank restaurant is still open. PHO - the noodles are slightly too thick and not as authentic as true Viet pho noodles. Broth was hot but just ok in flavor. Steak was boiled and slightly dry as they were pre cooked even before you add the broth. Wouldn't get this pho again as my first choice. Bahn Mi - tasty in flavor but the spicy garlic chicken came out soggy and made the bun soggy. Overall a yummy sandwich but not a traditional bahn mi. Would get again but not a traditional bahn mi. Side was medium/large. Garlic noodles with spicy garlic chicken and tofu - alright. Noodle flavor was ok, not very strong and didn't have a direction in flavor but just rather lightly soy sauced with some average medium dry protein placed on time. Would not get this again next time. Parking - free convenient parking lot in front of the kitchen Overall: I'd come back here if I was in a pinch to get Viet food in close proximity but wouldn't be my first choice and I wouldn't rush back. ”
