“For this hole in the wall, out of the way place, it had to be good, and it delivered! I got beef pho with a side of rice and the brown sugar boba. The broth was definitely the best part! Didn’t skimp on the flavors. And the brown sugar boba is really good
Parking: Very limited parking, bring a small car if you can“

“Really tasty food and big portions!! We definitely ordered more than we could finish between 2 people.
The beef spring rolls were like a burrito size! Also ordered street corn, chicken sando and rice noodle bowl. All large portions for what you pay! Hard to pick a fave but I’d say chicken sando“

“Bae and I had a music industry function in the hills behind this stretch of street. I saw this place was newish and had amazing reviews. The spot is a little hard to find which is OK but unusual for this relatively dowdy stretch of neighborhood where the raining cuisine is still, in 2024, red sauce italian(!) I love going to the Capri with friends during the holiday season but this was a wednesday night in July.
It was literally empty when we walked in and it made Bae nervous but I'd read the reviews so I reassured her. Like the name indicates it's a Vietnamese restaurant that serves food tapas style. So Bae loved it, I'm not a huge fan of tapas period, not even in the basque country or Spain, but this is still a great restaurant and deserves support! I would go back for sure if I was back here in the area, maybe before a vidiots movie.
Vegetarian options: Some
Dietary restrictions: There's no dairy on the menu

“A very clean pho restaurant with simple decoration. It also offers special pho, bone-in beef ribs, which are as soft as your mouth. Lemons are generously provided. The soup is hot enough. You may need to wait a while for the meal. The dining experience is very good.“

“I randomly discovered the place for Ban Xeo. Quite an interesting dish. It is very crispy. You wrap each bite with the lettuce.
I am new to it, so my table was a bit of a mess.
The owner, a guy, spoke english. That’s good.
There was a sign that says they’ll take credit card, but charge a $1 fee. I think that’s a bit steep.
There’s ample parking at the back.“

“I came by with my boyfriend to check out this place after watching a movie, the food was great hit the spot and their Thai tea was bomb.com. I was so quick to stuffing my face that I forgot to take pictures! But overall a great experience and good atmosphere :)“

“It's easily the best Banh Mi joint in all of SoCal. This place tops them all. The attention to detail is superb. They come individually packaged in a box, sauce, and veggies on the side to keep the sandwich crisp. Bread made in house, probably, based on the way the bread has irregular edges and the overall quality. Bread is soft and light in the middle and extra crispy on the outside. The best sandwich here is the Roasted Pork. Listen, there's the usual dry roasted pork you get from those roasted duck houses, and then there's this. All you foodies know what im talking about. This roast is simply done right. It's crispy and light skin around soft juicy meat and fat. No hard glass shards breaking off a over done wet roasted pork belly here. It's roasted to perfection. You know it's cooked at a perfect 165 to retain the juices. The chef really really knows what he/she is doing. Don't expect all meat and no fat. It's not a bourgeois place. And dont expect a 12 dollar rip off. It's not that either. It's a wholesome mom and pop join that service fair priced $7.50 specialty sandwiches that you can't even compare to quality in Vietnam's best joint. Come here with confidence, it's simply the best Banh Mi in all of Southern California. I'm willing to bet the best for its price in all of the US and Vietnam combined. Go try it and you will definitely agree. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.“

“I've been on a banh mi quest to find the best banh mi in San Gabriel valley.
I usually buy one item at all the places and it's the BBQ pork sandwich.
This is the best place so far. The sandwich is delicious. Old school delicious.
I call this banh mi, THE ULTIMATE. ?
Place is cash only.“

““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.“

“Solid pho tai for $13, lots of noodles, meat, and broth. The meat is a little too lean and I wish I could get a larger side of hoisin and chili sauce when dining in. All the side addons came in a little baggie, and the mung bean sprouts seemed to be cut in half. Overall, rather go here than drive into LA for Pho 87.“

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“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.“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“This place is nice and spacious, service was good. The Pho has good flavor. The wonton noodle soup was okay, but not sure what was in the wonton. ? …not a fan. Watch out for the tip calculations at the bottom of your receipt , it is done after tax is added on, which is wrong, should be calculated BEFORE TAX is added. Do your own calculation. Park in the parking structure in the back.“

“The food is excellent but they have an 18% dine in fee on top of their already expensive menu. So yes, a bowl of pho is 30 dollars which is insane since there’s not a ton of service and the restaurant looks a bit run down / not aesthetically good. I asked him to remove the mandatory service charge and he said if he did, he would have to pay it out of his own pocket which is wild. Idk it’s kinda strange, but the soup was really delicious.“

“My mother in law wanted a good Pho place. So we tried this place for lunch. We were skeptical. Guess what, she told me to order 1 extra bowl (number 12) for to go because their Pho is so good! They speak Korean with other guest but their Vietnamese foods are authentic and tasty!
So sánh ngang với Phoholic dưới OC, quán phở bà người Hàn Quốc nhưng rất ngon!“

“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!

“It’s a simple pho restaurant with neat interior.The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn’t anything special… the server wasn’t mean but not nice either.I don’t know, it was good but nothing special…Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it’s close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.
Parking: $3 in 2023“

“Hand down the best banh cuon and bun rieu in the area. Banh cuon was handmade freshly in the restaurant - it’s so soft but tender at the same time, not as soggy like other banh cuon places. The only minus is that parking is limited and the restaurant is very tiny.“

“Just absolutely the best pho in the area. Worth the drive. Overall 8.9/10. I order the large bowl with charbroiled meat. The condiments are always fresh. Today was a clean 9.2/10. Taste was fantastic. The broth was full of flavor. Just enough noodles and onions. Service is fast, location is mostly clean 8.9/10. Staff is friendly enough lol. Been going for 10 years.“

“First time trying Mr. Baguette. I noticed on the menu that they have authentic Vietnamese and American Vietnamese Bánh mì. For me, I always select authentic cuisine special #1. The baguette was perfectly baked and the right amount of ingredients. I thought the vegetables were perfectly pickled. I will definitely return to try another sandwich.“

“**A Hidden Gem of Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine**
We came on a Saturday to enjoy some of our favorite dishes at the original Summer Roll location in Rosemead. This place has been around forever, and it's like coming home for a meal with family. We know the family that owns the restaurant, and they are always so friendly and welcoming.
We had their *nam*, *bun bo hue* (pig foot noodle soup), *banh beo* (steamed rice cakes), and *banh xeo* (Vietnamese crepe with bean sprouts and seafood). The food is from the Hue region of Vietnam, and they do it so well—everything was flavorful, authentic, and delicious.
While the decor here may not be as modern as their newer location in Temple City, this spot has that charm and authenticity that reminds you of a true family-run restaurant. We've admittedly neglected this location, but after this visit, we plan to come back more often. The food is excellent, and the warm, homey atmosphere makes the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for a taste of genuine Vietnamese.“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! We've ordered a couple times from Postmates and we have never been disappointed. I love the spicy lemongrass chicken and my husband loves the pork belly and the shaken beef. The shrimp and pork egg rolls are unlike any egg roll over ever had and so delicious. And don't get me started on the sparkling limeade. This place is such a gem. We'll be ordering from them forver.

Clean, luminous, good service but especially fresh and delicious food.
Pho is made with love, and you can taste its heartiness. Special Banh Mi is delicious, fresh baguette bread, freshly pickled vegetables and deliciously marinated meats.
Even the teas are a delight!
A true diamond in the rough. I recommend to anyone that enjoys good Vietnamese food. Cheers“

“Amazing little spot that my wife and I visit consistently at least once a week. The pho is always on point & they never seem to have an off day. Ann is always extremely friendly and service oriented & always makes sure our experience is very pleasant. Like most have mentioned, the egg rolls are also on point. Go & support this hole in the wall spot!“

“It was fantastic to find a Lee's sammy shop in this area. The BIG downside is that in the middle of the afternoon there were 3 jacked up sketchy bums in the parking lot. I hesitated to get out of my car because of their movements. I can fight off 2 but not 3. It was very disturbing. But anyways my gluttony got the best of me so i braved it. Good service from the lady working hard making the tasty sammies. I do feel your cutting too far back on the meat. Stop being cheap.“
