Been going here for years. The pho has a lot of flavor and the food comes really fast.
Reviews are mixed, but my experience was alright and Id give 3.8/5. The pho broth is on the sweeter side and had a lot of flavor, which I liked. The egg rolls were probably precooked or sitting under a heat lamp since it came out literally a minute after ordering. The noodles in the pho were pre-cooked and one big clump, but I was able to give it a few stirs, and it was good to go.
Overall atmosphere is dated. It's old style mom and pop. There was a worker in there playing a game or watching a drama on his phone with the speaker at max volume, so it was so distracting and annoying. Very rude to customers trying to dine.
Service was good. Orders taken promptly, and the grandma came over to check up and refill waters.

Taste was okayish.
Not so good customer service, especially the boy there.
And I feel the place could be cleaner.
Nasty. Don’t waste your time coming here! Expensive, small portions. The pho is too sweet and not authentic. When I ordered the rice plate, it was a small portion. Pork chop was so tough, thin, and so expensive! The springs rolls were decent but it was so expensive. Owner stares at you while you eat, makes the eating experience awkward. Save your money elsewhere!

I was looking for a good quality pho restaurant for my family of 4. The pho was very sweet, oily not up to par. The pork chop had little to no food on it. Little meat, little rice barely any sides. It was also very expensive to. They also messed up our order by giving us the wrong meal and adding garnishes in the pho when it was not requested. Overall do not recommend poor experience, low quality, tasteless food.

Gordon Ramsay come save me from this Kitchen Nightmare.
You had me at phò, and lost me at my server smoking a cigarette right outside the front door while the door was propped open. Where you think all that smoke is going?
This place has seen better days, and so has this phò. The broth was super oily. Barely emulsified. Needed to de-grease after every bite.
Must think because they're on Main in El Segundo near the school in a trendy (probably since before it was trendy) business area that maximum effort isn't necessary anymore.
The entire staff looks jaded and about ready to retire. They have an A grade from the health department in the window but it's D quality on the furniture, upkeep, and everything else.
Let this place wither, so that something better can rise from its ashes

The service was great. The food though, it was all delicious, filling, and well portioned. I added the chili oil and that was HOTTT. Worth it though.

Came for an early lunch because the schedule says the restaurant opens at 10am...the place is still dark by 10:20am...no reason to waste time coming back if I can't trust the posted schedule.

Pho and curry soups and summer rolls were flavorless, cheapy made and underwhelming. Service is bad and music is too loud.
The pho was ok, on the sweet side for my taste. Our server was fun, with a dry sarcastic humor that had all the place laughing and enjoying our time eating. Overall, it was a good experience.

First time having pho here, and this place is AMAZING! Broth is some of the best I’ve had in years. Noodles are perfectly soft, brisket and rare steak are delicious and there was a lot in it. If it’s your first time having pho, I really recommend this place.

Love this place! Pho is really good, noodles are perfect, been back here twice in a span of a couple days. The rare steak is also better than most pho spots! If you're looking for an authentic pho experience with real viets, this is your
