“Had to get food in a hurry before work. Thought I would give this place a try. I was surprisingly impressed with how good the food is. I tried the orange chicken and BBQ pork. The orange chicken actually tasted better than most other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to. The noodles were fantastic as well. Got a small order of their spicy wings and they were legit…. Sticky, sweet, and spicy. I’ll definitely be back.“

“So far the Tier 1 pho, if not the best I have ever had in the US.
Their soup is just right, not too salty, not too plain, not heavily seasoned. Always come hot and fresh.
Always order their “No. 1” on the menu, tbh the meat ball is skimpy, so don’t do it. Their egg roll is good too.“

“I saw the review from Lan Hoàng, and I have to speak up—because I was there that day, having lunch with my mom. And frankly, her version of the story is completely misleading.
She made a scene over the rice paper—complaining that 8 pieces for $2 was “too expensive” and demanding 12 pieces for $3. The prices were clearly printed on the menu. Then she loudly announced she could buy rice paper cheaper at the supermarket and bring it in herself. Seriously? That’s not how restaurants work.
Her voice was so loud that everyone nearby could hear her ranting, ruining the dining experience for others. The manager, to his credit, remained calm, professional, and stood his ground. He told her—rightfully so—that the price is $2 for 8 pieces, no exceptions.
Then she goes online and has the nerve to say the manager “lacks manners”? That’s laughable. If anyone was disrespectful, it was her. She should take a long, hard look in the mirror before she dares to judge someone else.
If I were the manager, I wouldn’t serve her again. Period. People like that come in with entitlement, create drama over one dollar, and then try to trash hardworking staff online when they don’t get their way. It’s not okay.
I will say this—the Bánh xèo was absolutely delicious. And that’s the only thing she got right.“

“I've been to many Pho restaurants and this one stands out because, they offer unlimited noodles for free!!! They have different types of noodles but the traditional noodles you typically get with Pho, you can ask for an unlimited amount. Just the noodles so no proteins but how cool is that? One portion was good enough for me, but I saw plenty of other customers asking for extra noodles. What a way to stand out. What adds to the appeal is that the food was good. I ordered the Pho Tai with meatballs and the food tasted clean wasn't greasy or heavy. The service was good and brisk as most Asian restaurants are. The prices were reasonable as well and would definitely come back.“

“Arrived at this Vietnamese restaurant at noon on Sunday, surprisingly found that there were not too many customers, the decoration inside the store was simple but clean. Tasted their Vietnamese beef noodles, I felt that the soup was very rich and sweet, and the bowl was very large, which was probably worthy of the price. Although the serving process was a bit problematic, for example, I ordered two bowls of the same beef noodles, but they were served separately after a period of time, which was not ideal, but the waiter's attitude was quite thoughtful, which can add some points.“

““The bomb.com” Pico Rivera has needed a good Pho restaurant for a long time now. I tried this place the other day for the first time and it was just right. Had a sore throat due to this shitty December weather and it was very delicious and soothing. Little pricey but the quality is worth the price.“

“Great food! I've been here twice and have tried the fresh shrimp and tofu spring rolls with terrific accompanying sauce, flavorful chicken fried rice, shrimp pho with delicious broth, and the lovely Lychee fruit tea! Yum! Totally coming here again... and bringing more friends. Mangosteen has a clean, modern atmosphere, primarily indoors with a couple of outdoor tables. Friendly and helpful customer service.“

“15. Com Tam King Special is good but not so good as expectation when it looks like the best one which this restaurant recommended.
79. House special with beef combo is really nice. Highly recommend. We would come again because of this beef noodle. The soup and beef is delicious.
The service is good. People here are very friendly and serve efficiently.“

“Very enjoyable Pho restaurant. I got their House Combo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wasn’t the most flavorful broth I’ve had, but it genuinely hit the spot. Reasonably priced, large portions, and free noodle refills. Easily two meals which makes it very cost effective.“

“This family-owned business usually never disappoints. We love the veggie pho because the broth is vegetable based, not chicken stock. The vegetables are always cooked to perfection and the portions are decent. On our last dining experience, we ordered the vegetable dumplings which came out very quickly. At first bite, I realized they were not vegetable but some kind of meat. While the place was busy, we couldn't find anyone to flag down fast enough before they delivered the correct order because the first one was chicken dumplings. Other than that, it's a good place for yummy food at good prices.“

“They have really good vegetarian banh mi’s! It’s a bit far from where I live but I’m so glad to have tried it! Will be back again!
Also their Vietnamese iced coffee is really strong and good. My husband gave it the seal of approval. Thank goodness for this shop!“

“You really can't make a bad choice with any dish you select here. We tried the House Special, and the spring rolls are absolutely essential. My son is a big fan of the Ban Mi with grilled pork, and we also enjoyed the charbroiled pork vermicelli with egg rolls. Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back for more. Plus, the best part is that they offer a discount when you pay in cash!“

“Picked this restaurant somewhat at random, not being familiar with the area, but very glad we did! Great food, one of our party had beef pho with ribeye and fish balls, and commented that it was super flavorful, my husband devoured the combo rice plate and raved about the beef sausage, and my shrimp fried rice was excellent, with big, perfectly cooked shrimp. And the best bit..... We have leftovers because the portions were HUGE! (Oh, and the passion fruit lemonade... So good!)
Really glad we stopped here, and definitely recommend!“

“Food here is REALLY GOOD. Owners are really hands-on in making and delivering you the best version of their offerings. I had Pho Dac Biet and the Broken Rice. I haven’t had something this good in a while and i eat out all the time. Anyone reading this should not hesitate to come and try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Visiting a friend and he was under the weather and was craving Pho. He recommended Pho Hai in El Monte.
The broth is rich, flavorful and authentic. Portions are generous—perfect for a hearty meal. Walked away feeling much better. Family-owned and operated. Service was warm and attentive. Please support small business.“

“Came on someone’s recommendation. My first impression was that they were understaffed and looked overwhelmed. There’s only a handful of full of tables in this modest restaurant. The wait was 30-45 minutes even though there weren’t that many customers. But we were invested after 15 minutes, so figured we’d rough it out. So glad we did because the food was sooooooo good. The portions are generous and everything tastes so fresh. The prices are also low compared to other places with less good food. They could easily raise their prices by $5 and I would still think it was worth it because it was so good. So come but be prepared to wait even when it’s not busy. Cash only. There’s street parking or if you can find the hidden side street that leads to their parking lot in the rear.“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“Recently opened its door in the Temple City, Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is the new culinary destination for Vietnamese cuisine lovers. Having moved to Temple City, it stands proudly across from Summer Roll, inviting diners to embark on a gastronomic journey to Vietnam’s former imperial capital.
The restaurant’s specialty, Bun Bo Hue, is a testament to the authentic flavors of Huế. This Vietnamese beef noodle soup, known for its spicy and robust taste, is served in a generous portion brimming with succulent meat. The rich and aromatic broth leaves a lingering warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.
For those eager to explore the breadth of Huế’s culinary landscape, the Hue Combo is a must-try. This dish is a culinary mosaic, showcasing the region’s famous noodle-based delights. It’s an ideal choice for newcomers and connoisseurs alike, offering a sample platter of Huế’s pride.
While the Bun didn’t quite meet expectations, it holds promise. A tweak in noodle texture to achieve that coveted al dente bite, paired with a more traditional Vietnamese egg roll, could elevate this dish to new heights.
The Pho presents a soulful broth that sings with depth and clarity. However, the noodles yearn for a bit more finesse to match the soup’s excellence.
Service at Kim Hoa Hue is attentive and earnest, although a broader grasp of English would enhance the overall experience. For now, Google Translate bridges the communication gap, adding a touch of modernity to the dining experience.
The ambiance is as fresh as the flavors, with a bright and contemporary setting that promises growth and refinement. Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a slice of Huế’s regal cuisine with every dish. With a few culinary tweaks, this establishment is poised to become a cornerstone of the local food scene.“
“We enjoy hanging out. Yesterday we visited this excellent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful experience there with very good meal and a well-trained stuff and an impressive chief cook. We put this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will certainly go again very soon. We deeply recommend.“

“One does not simply order Pho from any regular reataurant. During the chill of the winter months, one's pho must not only be hot enough to warm ones stomach, but the flavor must be equally satiating. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have been tired of subpar pho with equally poor service, I am glad to announce yo you all that your search for the best pho you've ever had is over.Not only is the broth steamy hot, but the specific flavoring this family restaurant utilizes is spectacular. You can tell that it is freshly made and that much effort has been expended to curate the best flavored broth I've EVER HAD. As a pho enjoyer, I can't believe I've never been here before.And if that is not enough, the lovely hostess/waitress, who is also part of the family that owns this business is the kindest and warmest soul I've ever had tend me at a Pho restaurant. The service is prompt, warm, and delivered with care. She's also very humorous and will engage with you in a little small talk!God bless this place. Do yourself a favor and warm yourself up with the most spectacular pho you've ever had.“

We did the combo platter appetizer which is a great way to test out two different springs roll (bbq pork and shrimp) and their egg rolls. The shaking beef and the house special fried rice. The bbq pork is a shining star, great char and delicious flavors. No complaints and we will be returning!“

“Ordered number 30 and the meat was sweet and flavorful. Bean curd was pretty good. Egg with crab was actually very yummy but i didn't like the salted egg.
Pickled vegetables were DELISH in combo with everything else on the plate and it came with soup which was light and flavorful.
Also tried the passion fruit soda which was a unique kind of carbonation that was less bubble and more fizzy stingy? The passion fruit flavor was strong though which I enjoyed“

“This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area! It is a bit pricier than other places in the area, but I don't mind since the quality of food is worth it in my opinion.
We ordered a variety of items for our small group, and everything I tried definitely hit all the right notes. The nem nuong summer rolls as appetizer has the thick nem nuong and added crispy textures. The variety of meats on com tam/broken rice or bun/rice vermicelli are all very well seasoned. My vietnamese relative approves the flavors of bun bo hue, although the portion is a bit smaller compared to other places. The item that impressed me was the banh mi. It is pricier than your average banh mi, but packed with tasty meats and 2 whole fried eggs. Great amount of yummy sauce and vegetables to balance it all out. They used a different kind of bread instead of traditional baguette, but works really well in my opinion.
Restaurant is full on Sunday but not hectic, so atmosphere is relaxing for a nice dinner out. The decor and ambiance has nice touches to them.
Also I found out they have 2 locations. This location has more space and better for groups. The other is a bit more trendy/poppy from what I heard. Still very similar menu.“

“We’re regulars and love their curry chicken dish and pho.
We recently bought one of their products, “Don Chili Oil Crunch”to try at home and it’s phenomenal! I’ve made fried rice with it and also dip all my steamed vegetables in it. Not too spicy, subtly sweet, and the perfect amount of crunch. Will definitely return for more!“
