I've been living a couple blocks from this place for YEARS and I can't belive I've never been here. This is my new go to spot for Pho. Service was amazing and food was delicious! A must try in Hawthorne (South Bay Area).

Cash only. Busy lunch location for the area. Standard menu items that cover rice to noodles, a big menu for a small mom and pop shop. Small parking lot can get hard to get out of during rush hour. Maybe easier to park on the street instead.

They don’t know what spring rolls are. I was handed egg rolls and some lettuce to wrap the rolls in. 2/5 they only get a point for the food being fresh and piping hot. No real shrimp in it, pork is ground pork.The pho was mid. 3/5, would only return if I REALLY wanted pho but Pho Daisy was closed. But more likely I’d just go to Boiling Point instead and have hot pot.Thai tea was perfect. Strong-ish but not too sweet. My only regret is that I didn’t order a larger size of that.Cash only, great service, owner brought the food to my vehicle. They just need to make better food.

My pick for the best Vietnamese restaurant anywhere near the South Bay. One of the only places you can get banh xeo crepes, and they are excellent, served with a variety of fresh Viet herbs (not just mint like other places do)! Pho is very good, a bit on the sweeter side (which I enjoy) and with plenty of the different meat cuts in the dac biet. Other dishes like spring rolls, egg rolls, vermicelli bowls, rich dishes are all excellent. My only sorrow is that they don't deliver and they close every day at 6pm, otherwise I would eat this food twice a week. Love.Parking: Small lot available, always plenty of free street parking out front

My all time favorite Vietnamese food restaurant. I used to work in El Segundo and came here for lunch often. I am still coming here with my wife in the weekend. We like their beef pho, seafood egg noodle, shrimp/pork rolls and BBQ rice plate. Store owner is very friendly (actually just like a friend) to us. It is sort of those kind of "comfort food" feel for us although we are not Vietnamese.

I finally experience an authentic Thai food. The food was great completely different from Americanized Thai. The flavor in the food is amazing ? I originally came to try their pho ? but I ended up getting their combination fried rice and their wontons and I fell in love ? They offer parking aswell! Service was excellent.
