I used to be a regular here years ago but tonights meal showed how this place has degraded in all aspects: food quality, taste, service, overall cleanliness. There is a serious lack of pride and care in how this establishment is run now. Avoid this place if youre looking for a quality Vietnamese meal.

I was sick and craving pho last week. We have a large Vietnamese community here, so maybe my standards are high—but this restaurant was unfortunately underwhelming.
The food wasn’t bad, but I brought my family hoping to introduce them to Vietnamese cuisine, and it left much to be desired. Everything was made with the right ingredients, yet most dishes lacked flavor and seasoning.
Spring Rolls: The rolls themselves were fine, but the peanut sauce was watery and bland. It barely tasted of peanuts, which was disappointing since the dipping sauce usually carries the dish.
Bánh Mì/ banh mi: Easily the best thing we ordered. The meat was flavorful, though the heavy gravy soaked through the bun. The bread had a great crunch and soft interior. 8/10.
Chicken Wings: The wings were heavily battered but nicely crispy. Unfortunately, like most of the food, they were under-seasoned and relied only on the frying for flavor. The sweet sauce on the side was dull and didn’t help much.
Pho: After a few disappointing appetizers, I hoped the pho would redeem the meal. It was average—about a 5/10. The broth tasted clean and fresh but lacked depth and seasoning. I usually expect a more aromatic, richly flavored broth.
On the plus side, the service was kind and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-kept. If you’re nearby and need a quick pho fix, it’s worth a try. But if you’re looking for a deep, rich, and flavorful broth, you may want to look elsewhere.

Try this place. Food came out fast. They have a parking lot. I was feeling a little sick so I came here for the broth! The broth was flavorful I got chicken Pho Ga. It was peaceful in here (quiet, and nice view from the window.) The chicken could’ve been more tender! I will be back! Prices are okay… it’s LA right? I Paid $18 without tip! I remember when I used to pay $8 back in 2016 but then again… that was almost 10 years ago 😂😂😂 Check this place out!

This spot has some of the most consistent pho in the area. Portions are generous, and the broth isn’t too salty. Service is fast even during busy hours. Parking can be tricky since it’s on a busy street. A reliable go-to for Vietnamese food

This is the second time I ordered well-done beef and they gave me raw meat. I cannot eat raw meat for health reasons, and this mistake is not just careless — it’s dangerous. I even returned the food, and the manager wasn’t even there to take responsibility. Two times in a row is unacceptable. This place clearly does not care about customers’ safety or their own quality standards. If you value your health and expect basic respect for your order, avoid this place.

Pho was very bland, no flavor at all. Zero spices as real pho broth typically has in it. It was not good. Iwouldn't call this real Vietnamese, its terrible. Didnt eat but a few bites and left. I think it was just water not bone broth. The steak was like chewed up something, not sure it was beef. Spring rolls were ok but the peanut sauce was watery and again zero flavor. Staff is ok, a bit rude. For $32 I'd expect it be good but it wasnt even average. Good reviews are either fake or they dont know what good authentic Vietnamese actually is. This is not it. Overpriced for junk food that truly isn't got but not authentic at all.

Great customer sirve Fabio he is the best I will come back. Thank you for your great service.
One of my go-to spots in Glendale when I’m craving pho. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. It really hits the spot every time!
Only downside is parking — street parking can be tough to find sometimes, and the lot right next to the restaurant is private (not for customers). Best tip? Go on Sundays! Street parking is free then, so it’s way easier

Glendale Pho Co is a good choice for Vietnamese food in the area. Their soup broth is done well. The flavors are fresh and rich. The aromatics are subtle with fragrance. The noodles are fresh and not overly cooked, unlike many other places. Their meats are also good, with a variety of beef for your Pho, including Brisket, Rare Brisket, and Flank. Of course, you can always choose the standards from a Dac Biet variation and get Tripe. The only item I have not seen on their menu is the availability of tendon. Chicken and Vegetarian options are also available and delivered with equal quality. Vermicelli and Rice dishes are represented, but the star of the show is the Pho. Their Fried Egg Rolls are anemic. Their size resembles Lumpia, but the flavors are good. Spring rolls include the creative addition of Jicama, which I find non-traditional. The service is excellent. Takeaway packaging is done with detail, and the staff is very friendly. The only big concern is the value for what you get. Their pricing is on par with other nearby Vietnamese places, but the protein portions seem to be on a diet.
