What a great little Pho house in Alhambra! It’s cash only so be ready for that. The woman serving me was very kind and the pho and egg rolls were awesome. Possibly the best Pho broth I’ve ever had. I highly recommend

Pho has a cleaner broth than other places I’ve been to. Cha gio is nice and meaty with pork. All the vegetables are cut nicely. You can tell they take their time to prepare the food. Will be back for the bun bo hue.

We ate here last weekend and were so glad we did. The Pork Vermicelli bowls were delish! I want to post a photo if I figure out how? The server was very friendly and the food came out very fast.

Nice local Vietnamese restaurant that I've come to a few times. Staff is a friendly and the food was quite delicious! I had some beef spring rolls and a vermicelli dish with meatballs. Both were very good and I had to bring one of the spring rolls home as it was a lot of food. Would recommend trying it out if you're craving some Vietnamese cuisine.

The service here is amazing! The staff were super attentive to our table. It's a smaller cozy restaurant, feels like going to grandma's house for dinner, we felt so comfortable and welcomed! We also ordered pho and bun bo hue as well which did hit the spot, but the nem nuong was definitely the star of dinner. The staff were so sweet and made sure to bring out the rest of our food when we were ready to eat it so it wouldn't go cold! CASH ONLY! Don't forget to get cash beforehand, it's worth it.
First time here. The pho was good but they aren't too generous with the extras like bean sprouts. They do not take credit cards as advertised. When we were ready to pay they said cash only. It caught me off guard. Good thing I had just enough to pay for my meal.The cash only sign is very small hidden behind a huge plant on the counter.

There is something about comfort food that speaks to my soul. Nem Nuong Khanh Hoa can sing lullabies to me everyday. This tiny, family feel Vietnamese restaurant boasts an extensive menu that will satisfy any palate and any hunger level. They have appetizers, soup dishes, rice dishes, and desserts. There is so much to choose from for any appetite. I really came for the banh beo Chen Tom chay. I've been craving it for months and not many restaurants in the area offer it on their menus. It definitely satisfied the craving. It's a popular dish with most customers. The nem nuong rolls were delicious too but it was missing a flavor. I felt the meat needed a little more salt. Otherwise, still a go-to for me at any Vietnamese restaurant. Eggs rolls are always a chef's kiss for me. Pho dac biet is always a popular dish and this one did not disappoint. Broth was flavorful, noodles were cooked perfectly and just the right amount of meat and garnish. The employees were so sweet and attentive. It's very apparent that they take pride in their food and service. They were very hard working and made sure we had a great dining experience. The restaurant is small. I recommend going during non-peak hours or you may have to wait for a table. It's not ideal for big groups- they only have one large table for 8 people. The rest were two or four tops. They are located in a small strip mall with limited parking. But you drive around for street/ neighborhood parking. This establishment is cash only.

We went here for brunch on Thanksgiving and there were a few parties there and a lot of people getting spring rolls in catering trays for their family gatherings. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was pleasant to be in. The food was not super fast but not too slow. The spring roll tray was so good! Would definitely go back to have again. We got Banh Beo and a broken rice dish - all super good too. Oh and this place is cash only!

Really tiny Vietnamese restaurant located in a tiny strip mall. Also cash only (I had to go next door to the liquor store to get cash). This place has neighborhood gem energy all over it. The menu is pretty extensive relative to the size of the place and has some items that is personally hard for me to find without travelling to OC and the prices were super reasonable as well. The service and folks here are super friendly. It almost feels like I'm at a family member's house and they're trying to feed me. Or at the very least, family friends. I probably could've left the restaurant full or satisfied ordering one of these items, but since I was so excited to see them available here, I ordered both the bun bo hue (pretty spicy) and the banh beo. Both were so delicious and fresh. The bun bo hue came with super fresh greens and lime. The sauce for banh beo was very tasty and peppers were on the side to add to your liking. Since the bun bo hue/ noodle soup was already spicy enough, I limited my sweating by not using the peppers on the other dish, haha. I ended up eating all the banh beo since that might be near impossible to take to go after, but had to get a container for most of my bun bo hue since I ordered way too much food for one person.It was a small restaurant, but I was still surprised how busy it was during a weekday. Great for them! It was just that I have been eating at a lot of places in the area during the week at night and places don't feel as busy as they should. There was parking in the lot of the location, but there also seemed to be a lot of street parking close by.
