“Lees is killing Subway and Jersey Mike's with their amazing french baguette bread!However, this is the best Lees spot because of Vandy. Every other Lees says NO WE DO NOT DO THAT when I ask for mayo, mustard, onions and pickles inside. Vandy said YES to everything. She said I will make it the way you like itLakewood Lees sandwiches is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!“
“This is truly a gem of a hole in the wall!! Almost literally, and I say that with respect and appreciation. This cute little eatery is easy to miss, being tucked in a very small strip mall (if it even qualifies as that!) between a small pharmacy and a laundromat, just south of the Arco on the corner of PCH and Pacific. But once you have eaten here, boy oh boy is it hard to forget!I come here about once every other week when I'm on a regular work schedule. Became hooked immediately with their unique bahn mi sandwiches and their pate chaud. Now I'm completely obsessed with their plant-based shrimp spring rolls and their grilled pork bun bowl. That bowl is the perfect balance of light and filling, flavorful and refreshing. It is one of my lunch go-to options. And the plant-based shrimp rolls are AMAZING. Obviously I'm not vegan, but this is an item that I enjoy so much despite it all.I have yet to try their pho. Maybe one of these days. They do have seating inside, but no restroom. Also, parking lot is small and shared, so I avoid coming during peak lunch hours, usually after 1 to pick up my food, and I've had no issues.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, flavorful too!Parking: Parking lot is pretty small and shared with a pharmacy, laundromat and discount store.“
“Fantastic banh mi, I've tried their classic number 1, Dac Biet, and also the pork belly bath mi. Both good, but the Dac Biet is always my favorite. Lee's Sandwhich was my go-to but this is the first banh mi place I've had that tops Lee's I'm quality at the arpund the same price.“
“Wow!!!! Hands down my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Their beef pho is delicious? and out of this world. I’ve been a big fan of pho ? and have been eating this dish for years just about everywhere I travel to when I’m out of state or in the mood for it here in the city. This is my new favorite spot for pho. Wish I can give them 10 stars because they deserve it.“
“Second visit in a week.Hands down the best pho I have ever had. I believe that they use real bone broth (not the powder), so I can tase the umami, didn’t even have to put any garnish in the pho.Also, the fish sauce fry is a must try, can’t find it elsewhere.“
“Pho 101 offers an exceptional dining experience for lovers of Vietnamese cuisine. From the moment you step in, the ambiance is inviting, with its cozy yet modern decor.Their pho – a delightful blend of savory broth, tender noodles, and fresh herbs, served piping hot with a generous portion of your choice of protein.Accompanying the pho are their delectable egg rolls, crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. Each bite is a symphony of taste and texture, leaving you craving for more.The service is prompt and friendly, adding to the overall pleasurable dining experience. Whether you're a pho aficionado or just craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Pho 101 is a must-visit destination.“
“I have mixed feelings about this place. While it has been my go to spot on rainy days this past season, it's been a hit or miss. Sometimes it's like the best pho ever and other times the meat is really undercooked and the broth wasn't hot enough to cook it further which resulted in a rather rubbery experience. All in all, I think I will continue to come back as everything else was enjoyable.“
“Very impressive!Great broth, great beef. We had the Pho combo and the Wagyu fried rice, both were fantastic! Kids got free noodle with clear broth.Even the Thai tea was so tasty with intense flavor but not too sweet!The service was ? on the cake.Definitely recommend!“
“Came in on a Monday and the young girl that helped us was very friendly and welcoming, she let us try a sample of a few different things and we loved all of them! She gave us suggestions to visit as we were from out of town. We will definitely come back when we’re in Long Beach.“
“One of the best Bah Mi I have ever had! Came a few months ago and have been dying to come back. The taste and flavor is so good I think about it all the time. The service is amazing, too. The man who runs the store is very kind and gave us extra goodies like waffles, little bananas and free Jasmine ice tea. Absolute bang for your buck. Only downside is it is not a sit down restaurant.“
“Been here a few times and honestly, for the price, it's a great place to go to when you're craving pho. We usually get the beef steak for $8.89 or the chicken bowl for $7.87, which is honestly a steal in this economy! Bowl upgrades are only $3 more, which I say is totally worth it. The pho tastes so clean and with a deep flavor. Personally, I think the pho is very worth it for it's price; I can't get enough of it. In addition, the service is phenomenal. The guy in the front is always so welcoming and talkative when we come visit - we really enjoy it. Definitely visit this hidden gem when you're in the Cypress area - you won't regret it (:“
“Love this place! The best egg rolls I've ever had, and such a great deal. I will be back here many many times to come. Don't forget to ask for the sauce, yum!! Thank you! ?❤️Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian egg rollsParking: Parking is in back of the building“
“This place has the best pho in the area handsThe customer service is dopeThe owner is always very welcoming and his recommendations always hit the spotThere’s endless veggies for your phoI love this place always but best for rainy daysI definitely recommend this spotParking: There’s street parking and public parking lots in the behind areas of pacific , how everI’ve always found street parking right up front of the spot or within a couple of feetKid-friendliness: Yes it’s kid friendlyThe owner is very friendly and accommodating“
“It’s Anaheim and this place is a hidden gem. Food is authentic. Portion is huge for nowadays. So far, we tried Pho, chicken fish sauce, bún chả Hanoi, shaken Salmon with garlic noodle, bun thit nuong, spring rolls. I like the fish sauce chicken so much I have to it every time I come here. Wells, it’s my second time :) but this place will be my home place when I am craving for Vietnamese food.Kid-friendliness: The owner is so nice offered my son a little bowl of pho soup no charge :)“
“First time here and I got to say it was amazing! I got the brisket and steak Pho. You make your order and then they give you a number and you go find a spot to sit. Right away someone brought out the soup garnishes chopsticks and even sauce. They brought out my soup very quickly I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. The bowl was huge! And very generous with the meat. I devoured the whole thing. Some of the best Pho in Orange County! I'm definitely coming back here and bringing my husband with me next time. The prices are very reasonable as well.“
“Casual dining for pho and crawfish, I only had time for lunch so pho it is. It was bland, no flavor yet the meat is great with their customer service on point, ask and you shall receive, it was an good foe the location and the price is a little high but now a days, it's like that everywhere.“
“This place is great. Love their eggrolls. And when I walk in, they start getting my order ready without me saying a word. And they even know that I like the fresh soy sauce instead of the pre-packaged one. They are super friendly, and the food Egg Roll are always fresh and delicious. And it is always busy but you never have to wait too long. Ambiance is good for a takeout spot, but they have a few chairs in case you need to sit down.“
“I got the level 7 K#1 soup, which wasn't too spicy. For a spicy meal I would ask for a higher number. I also got a Thai tea that was very refreshing and not too sweet, and a vietnamese coffee with coconut milk that was very rich in coffee flavor and sweet. My father ordered the level 7 ramen stir fried and said it was very good, not very spicy. We shared a level 7 and a level 10 BBQ wing. The 7 was barely spicy but very good, 10 had an oil on it that coats your mouth and was quite spicy, but the heat went away within 15mins. All the food was delicious!“
“For some odd reason every time I’m in Long Beach, I tend to search for a Cambodian spot. 1. Its very uncommon anywhere else in L.A 2. Always down to try new food from different cultures! Cambodian cuisine offers a melting pot of Thai, Lao, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian spices clearly, through the agricultural and spice trade.This is probably the fourth Cambodian restaurant I’ve visited in Long Beach. The vibe and décor are very cultural and cute. It’s a small restaurant with 3 booths, 8 top in the middle and 12 top on the other side. The service was very friendly, the walk to the restroom was interesting because I got to see the kitchen which was filled with aunties and uncles, seemed like a family business for sure!Come during lunch because the specials are worth it!Ordered#17 Khmer BBQ Pork with rice 5/5 – BBQ had a nice glaze to it, paired well with pickled veggies and spicy sauce#24 Mint Leaf Chicken with rice 5/5 – Similar to Thai basil chicken but instead they used mint and even topped it with an egg!#27 Student Noodle 5/5 -Enjoyed how these were served with thin noodles, the flavor was delish (similar to pad thai)The parking lot is small, I was lucky to have found a spot! Give them a try!“
“Yummy soup! Perfect place to go on a cold day.My girlfriend and I stopped here yesterday for some lunch. As busy and full as the parking lot was, this restaurant was nearly empty with only 3 parties in there around lunch time! It seems like most of the people that were parked there went to get dim sum, AYCE sushi, or Korean BBQ.We knew what we wanted to order (we normally order the same thing everywhere). We ordered A2. Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls, I got P2. Rare Steak, and she got P1. Flavor Pho Combination.The results:- A2. Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls: They come in a pair with each cut in half. Accompanied by the usual sauce with peanuts in it. It tasted refreshing and was pretty good.- P2. Rare Steak: I feel like most people order this as it's simple and good. The soup was delicious. I ordered an extra side of rare steak for more protein :). Good soup!- P1. Flavor Pho Combination: My girlfriend said it was really good and she finished a large bowl plus the spring rolls! That says a lot.Service was good. The man who greeted us and helped us out was always smiling and cheerful. We sat ourselves and was helped immediately.Parking was a little bit of a pain since it was packed due to the other restaurants in the plaza. There's only a few spots in the front of the restaurant, and unfortunately two of the spots in front are for curbside pickup for AT&T (what the heck!).I recommend this pho place if you're in the area!“
“First time and decided for takeout, as there's not much room for eating. The menu was pretty big with sandwiches "Banhmi", Pho, BBQ with rice and Chowmien, so worried that the food was going to be mediocre - BUT surprise that the 3 different dishes we ordered and egg rolls was just yum. We'll be ordering again.“
“Delicious food wow! we finished everything !!! The Seafood is great quality here! The Cajun sauce is nice and fresh you can tell it's made with love... The prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is very clean I recommend the half sampler it was nice and filling for 2! Great for couples This place is definitely a Family friendly restaurant! (: we took our 1 year old and Lanny our server even went as far as giving our baby fruit snacks and oranges so he can also have a meal! Lanny helped us out she was so nice and attentive she refilled our drinks without having to flag her down as well and kept checking on us if we needed anything We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant when we are in the area! Don't miss out ! Check them out“
“If you are looking for excellent Vietnamese food you can find it at Benley. My wife and I have been here a few times. We came here with another couple a week or two ago. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The other couple does not eat Gluten because one of them has Chron's disease. The very friendly waitress at Benley was able to provide safely handled, gluten-free, and reportedly great tasting food to both of them, while not limiting the options of those of us who do eat gluten. I highly recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy safe, just let them know you need special considerations right when they seat you. Even better, call ahead to let them know.“
“great food. we ordered phở for a cool late morning & sat outside so it was perfect. this is northern vnese style phở (which is just a little salty for my taste) but I appreciate the clear & not overly spiced broth. it's a straight forward & authentically honest bowl of phở. there are fresh spices, good quality beef & super tender meat fall-of-the-bone pork ribs. so good & so satisfying. vnse coffee (café sữa đá) is also right on the money! btw, for those who need it, you can load the soup up with siracchia & have a perfect hangover-buster ? you're welcome ? service is prompt & friendly - price is decent but not cheap. all in all, a winner for local norwalk & neighboring city. we'll definitely be back & highly recommend pho anvi. we need to keep good businesses around for fellow foodies.“
“Place doesn’t look like much but the food is amazing.They DO NOT have any vegetarian or vegan pho for which I considered to give 4 stars but the rice bowl with crispy tofu was really good.My son confirmed that beef pho is also great.Price was also very reasonable.“
“This review has to be pure FIRE!!! That honor goes to Fusion Corner, which is one of the OC's (kinda) newest hot spots. Trust me when I say you do NOT want to miss out on this place!I went in with a bunch of foodie friends to try out some of their Asian fusion cuisine, and every single dish was off the hook! Everything they post on their social media is exactly what you get. This place has a casual vibe, and it's a great place for family and friends to gather.We started off with the Fried Roe Fish Balls and Popcorn Chicken. The fish balls came out hot and fresh, and they were slightly crispy on the outside with the soft texture you'd expect on the inside. The chicken was really good, crispy, and not greasy at all. I liked the dipping sauces they both came with, too. Next up was their famous Lomo Saltado Fries. O M G!!! This had me salivating when I saw it from afar before they even set it down on the table. The shaken beef on top of those perfectly fried, crisp fries was a party in my mouth all by itself!The final dish was the Back-Rib Pho, which has got to be the sexiest, beefiest bowl of pho to have ever hit my palate! I mean.. do you see those humongous beef ribs?! We had so much food left over AFTER we tasted everything. We each got to pack a doggy bag when we couldn't finish it all. You already know my motto: "Don't waste!!" LOL!To wash it all down, we had Thai Milk Tea (comes caffeinated or not, your choice), and the Lychee Rose Tea. I had the latter, and I loved every last drop of it. They even garnish the top to make it pretty, and I love pretty drinks!Parking was not the greatest, as it is extremely limited next to an apartment complex. I parked in the Wendy's lot next door (oopsie, lol). Prices here are very reasonable!! The employees are super friendly and answered any questions we had.I highly recommend Fusion Corner if you have an insatiable appetite but also want to keep your wallet happy. The best part is these guys are open late late, like 1 am late! Don't waste another minute. Make your way to Fusion Corner NOW!!! ;)“
“It was our first time here and I have to say THE BROTH WAS SO SAVORY. We got the pho tai with the Mor special for an extra $4 which was a very good deal. They only have thin pho noodle here but the noodle was perfectly done. One of the thing about this place is that the portion was super huge compare to other pho places in OC. Service was great and fast during their rush hours. The restaurant has a very artsy and hipster vibe. We would definitely come back again when we are in the area for Knotts berry farm.“
“This is a small little place. I tried the chicken feet and egg rolls and both were pretty good. The owners took great care to give me instructions on the chicken feet so that it wouldn't lose its crispiness as I got it to go. I thought that was pretty cool. I told my mother about this place and told her we need to try some catering from them.“
“This is the best noodle place in Long Beach. They have the best spring rolls I’ve ever ate(they are HUGE) and are extremely delicious. The sauce is the cherry on top. My go to dish is the #24 new ka tang. The juicy chicken paired with the savory noodles is just so yummy?? I love iced tea so with the drink I choose the Thai iced tea. It’s a classic. There is also a choice of combodian noodles and viatnamese pho. If you were to get that, I would recommend the seaphood or the beef steak.“
“I bring my friends a lot. And people mostly know this place. Can feel pretty decent traditional pho. I'm a regular. My favorite Vietnamese rice noodle restaurant. When I was having a hard time after going camping, I went and ate to cheer myself up and finished packing up my belongings from the camping trip that day... It gets me full energy ♥️ ?“
“LOVE the house coffee, one of the best I’ve tasted! Service is always amazing and fast!My only issue is that this place is not open every day, I’ve gone 3-4 times during normal business hours and they were closed. Overall recommend this hidden gem to everyone!!“
“I was in the area viewing apartments, so I decided to locate a new pho place. This place is spacious, pretty quiet so I enjoyed that. I ordered the steak and brisket pho, I have to start by saying this was the BEST brisket I’ve had in a pho. It was not fatty at all, and super tender but not dry!If you follow me on here, you know the type of pho I like. This one was clean and packed a little flavor. I wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve had, but the brisket was unmatched. The noodles were fresh and intact too. — On the downside, I ordered the salt & pepper shrimp, but I didn’t like it. I ate one, and they still charged me for it. Not the best customer service I’d prefer, and they asked me about it. So I just thought they’d take care of me. Anyway, I’d go back for the pho if I’m in the area. Also, I want to try the fried rice based off the pics.“
“We started coming because it was halal. We skipped out on pho tasty to try it and to our surprise we liked the food here. Egg roll is a must. Pho is delicious. It's not as crowded. It's a chill atmosphere. They may need more servers in the evenings.“
“Yummy food! The rice is perfect. I usually get grilled pork (not the pork chop) and shredded pork or a fried egg. The service is quick and the owner is very friendly. There are several TV's and music for entertainment. The bathroom is clean.“
“I love the food here and come about once per week. The place isn't fancy and the service can be super good one day and not so good the next. Sometimes they leave the front doors open when it is cold outside.My favorites are the vermicelli with bbq pork or the BBQ pork banh mi sandwich. My wife likes the stir fried Ramen and their rice dishes. Not a fan of their egg rolls.“
“Been wanting to try this place out. I got a to-go order and ordered the combo number 1, spring rolls and Thai tea. The soup is really good! I love the broth and it's probably one of the best I've ever tasted so far. The spring rolls were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the peanut sauce, but it wasn't terrible. And the Thai tea tasted pretty good! It was a little pricey, more than i had hoped to spend, but mostly worth it when im dying from a cold and want pho lol. I'd recommend this place to people wanting pho and I'd definitely come again. When ordering, the guy on the phone was very nice and when paying as well. All in all, I had a great experience.“
“??? THE FIRST TIME I TRY PHO WASH.E.R.....E. AT THIS PLACEABOUT 8 YEARS AGO.SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN COMING TO THIS PLACE. I ALWAYS HAVE THE NUMBER 9 IN THE MENU WITH MY MUNSTER ENERGY DRINK.. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EAT A VERY GOOD PHO VIETNAMESE SOUP.⏳️?????8?????⌛️“
“Our first time trying this fusion place. We're visiting from Seattle and this was suggested by friends.The golden bao was delicious. Enough Yelpers agree.The garlic noodles were flavorful but a little on salty side.My beef rib pho was tasty but meat was tough. I'm used to fall off the bone but more on chewy side.Service was great. Very attentive staff.Might want to try rice dish next time.“
“Came here this morning with my family and wow the food was so good! I think what I really like about it was all the food we got tasted homemade and the price point is pretty great too compared to the prices in the Bolsa area. Needless to say, I will definitely be back. I look forward to trying the other dishes on the menu.“
“I absolutely enjoyed eating at this place. The pho base is one of the best I've had in years and the service and atmosphere absolutely rock. If you have the time go check out this place.I got the rare pho and it successfully joined the clean plate club.“
“Very kind people, delicious food! We ordered 2 large pho with raw steak & brisket. The large bowls of pho were only $ 12 - something each. Most places that serve pho start their prices at $13, so we were very pleased with this pricing. I also ordered spring rolls that were about $8 for 3. They brought us the pho first, and about 10 minutes later, we were served our spring rolls with the peanut sauce. The pho was amazing. The spring rolls were very good as well. All of that including 2 Pepsi's came out to about $42. It was very worth it! I also love that parking was not an issue here. I will be returning for more “
“I ordered takeout so I can't speak to their dine-in experience which appears to be most people's complaints. My takeout order was ready quickly after I had placed the order. I got the beef stew pho and it was good but also overly salty! I couldn't finish the carrots in it because it was so salty. I still enjoyed the whole bowl but didn't drink the broth, I would order a regular pho next time or dilute the beef stew broth. I also ordered the egg rolls and the fish sauce was extremely salty too, the egg rolls itself were okay, they weren't amazing but enough to satisfy a craving.“
“In my 40 years of living in the long beach area, many pho places have come and gone. When I really want pho I would usually go to little Saigon to the source. Pho 881 is definitely in my opinion the best pho in long Beach. I used to go to pho hong phat/long before but it just isn't as good when it was pho hong long. After trying pho 881 for the first time today, I highly recommend this place if you don't want to drive to little Saigon. I ordered the pho dac biet and was delicious.Broth was nice and clean. Very flavorful and a generous amount of noodles. Only issue I have is with the noodles being a bit mushy.“
“My mom saw this restaurant advertised on the SBTV channel for their famous broken rice dish.I had very little expectation because anything that’s been recommended through this channel that we have tried, has been a bust.Well, I was very impressed at the quality, price and portion! We will be coming back here again.Most items are $14. The standard broken rice dish comes with bbq pork, shredded pork and slice of egg loaf. You can add other items for extra charge. The bbq pork had the grilled char aroma, very flavorful, and moist. The shredded pork had more meat tendon. The egg loaf was moist not dry. This entire dish was a winner.I wanted a soup dish and got bun bo hue. I got no spice so that my mom could try but it still came out spicy. I liked it. It has so much meat!We got a pandan mung bean drink. That was too much mung bean and it was thick. Had to wait for the ice to melt to loosen up. Also got durian smoothie. That was delicious and they used real durian fruit.They have great desserts but we were too full. There’s also a hot deli take out section.“
“Many vegetarian options. I opted for the Mushroom Garlic Bun noodles with vegetarian sauce. Added on a side of peanut sauce. Mushrooms had a meaty texture and lots of umami flavor. Crispy onions add texture and the veggie sauce has a sweet hot vibe.Nice to have a veggie eggroll,,, I was craving one but didn't want a whole order. It was the perfect accompaniment to the noodle dish.Super delicious and staff is chill.“
“Finally got to try this place, I really only used to have time at night to go, and the plaza was a bit too dark for me but I braved the darkness and was not disappointed. Upon entering I felt like I was entering one of those karaoke bars since they had a little drum set set up in the corner and a huge speaker. I ordered the special pho in a large and it came with TONS of meat. I usually love brisket (gau) and they have one of the softest briskets I've had in So Cal! Top 3. I absolutely love the brisket at pho 101 and this is like a dead ringer for the softness and butteriness. Yes, I still have braces and am picky about my meats!The soup was very good, I came towards the end of the night and so I got at the best of the soup, it was so satisfying. Nice light, perfect saltiness and wonderful layers of flavors. The woman helping me was really nice but I did come in right before closing so I didn't really expect much, or even if I would be sat down. I'm happy I got to the special pho here. Will definitely be back. 8/10 over broth, noodles, and meat.“
“This place is quite popular. It seems like a lot of people order catering here. I was craving an banh mi and Vietnamese food and this place hits the spot. I got the grilled pork banh mi, pork patty spring rolls, the leaf wrap rice cake thing with meat filling. The pricing for the food is pretty decent. I would definitely come back here for my cravings.“
“If you're looking for delicious sushi and pho in Whittier, Pho & Roll is the place to go! The Crunch Roll is a must try but their other sushi rolls are just as tasty. If you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, the beef pho is a great choice. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!“
“Food: 99% My friend and I happened to come upon this small and cute restaurant as we were craving for spring rolls. The price here is very cheap and affordable. And let me tell you, when the spring roll came out I GASPED. It was small but was PACKED. Love that. The pho broth was so smooth, savory, and it wasn't the usual pho as it had plenty of assorted vegetables which I'm not use to but other than that it was delicious. Service: 100%The service was great and the lady the served us was very sweet and kind. Overall, the food was delicious and the restaurant is very tidy and neat.“
“This is my third time at this place and me and my family loves it! The owner and his wife are so friendly and chatty. The pho bowls were rich in broth; very flavorful and authentic vietnamese. We’ll definitely be coming back here whenever we’re in this area “
