There are probably 10 Pho restaurants in the few miles between my home and #9Pho. I literally will not go to a single one of them, because it's just not worth it in comparison to #Pho. The food is so tasty, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and they even carry coconuts for extra hydration. If you want Pho in Long Beach, please do yourself a favor and visit!

The food here is fresh and delicious. I had the Bún noodles with mushrooms and the vegan spring rolls and it was very tasty. My husband had the beef pho and he finished it all. Great service and great area. Will definitely be back.

We came here on a Tuesday night on a whim because we were craving some pho. Saw that this place had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We ordered two bowls of pho: one with just beef and the other with everything (tripe, tendon, all of the good stuff). When the food came out, I was a little thrown back because it looks like they put black pepper in the pho? I've never seen that before but let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS. Noodles were the right amount of chewiness. Meat was tender and everything else was great. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about black pepper being in my pho but it added a nice peppery taste that complimented the broth's flavor. To top it off, the workers there were all very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for some pho and happen to be nearby, come check them out.

This place has great banh mis. The beef pho and roll was good as well. The thai tea was not good. It was bitter and not very creamy. The restaurant has a lot of seating but it does has a weird smell. It might be best to get takeout. The staff was very attentive and helpful.

Finally a good pho place close to home! The beef broth is a little different from most other viet places, but in a good way! There was black pepper added, which was a nice touch. The rare steak is probably the best I've had and my bf really liked the tender brisket. Soup came piping hot just the way it should be and portions were good considering the prices in Long Beach. Staff is also super friendly! Parking is probably the worst part as it's only street parking and at dinnertime, a lot of the locals who live around have claimed their spots for the night. But we got lucky and parked 1 block away. You order and pay at the front so I'd classify this as a fast casual spot. Interior is clean and service is fast!

WOW really enjoyed my visit here ! I was doing laundry next door was starving & decided to check it out . Super clean and very nice looking inside , aesthetic on point ! The fellas in here were super nice ! Definitely enjoyed the service here . I went with the veggies egg rolls , the beef bowl , & the fellas were nice to mix some Thai tea & Vietnamese coffee for my drink . YUM , loved that they explained how to eat the egg rolls , have always enjoyed this style of egg rolls for the extras making a little egg roll taco. OMG the beef bowl was amazing ! Super tasty & ugh i loved the onions ! I think this a moat check out spot ! Will forsure be back . Regarding the parking I'm pretty super it's a bit scarce as it's on 4th street , I had parking in the laundry since I was there.

$15 for a Lemongrass Beef Bahn Mi made out of Cheesesteak chipped beef and $1 supermarket roll. Restaurant storefront is nice and has good parking, very clean and quick service. But can't really get over the sad Bahn Mi. Salad Rolls were ok, Chicken Rice Bowl was best value and taste for $10

This is the best vegan pho I've ever had this place ended my search for my favorite pho the broth was sooooo flavorful. The portions were just as much as usual pho meaning I got like a pound of noodles and a a tub of broth. Plus the service was great! The person who rung me up was very friendly and kind. I'm exited for the next cold or rainy day so I can get my fill again.
I highly recommend #9Pho. This is some of the absolute best Pho I’ve ever had. The broth is so different from what I’m used to but is so full of flavor in the best way possible. Wonderful atmosphere and the staff is so friendly!
Many vegetarian options. I opted for the Mushroom Garlic Bun noodles with vegetarian sauce. Added on a side of peanut sauce. Mushrooms had a meaty texture and lots of umami flavor. Crispy onions add texture and the veggie sauce has a sweet hot vibe.Nice to have a veggie eggroll,,, I was craving one but didn't want a whole order. It was the perfect accompaniment to the noodle dish.Super delicious and staff is chill.

Super chill staff, lightning-fast service for a bowl of pho and some grilled chicken bún on a Sunday night. Don't try this pho unless you want a religious experience.

Some of the best Pho in Long Beach, and definitely the best vegan pho. This is the only Pho that my wife will save the broth and heat it up the next day with more noodles and veggies. Every other place she is happy to toss it, so hats off to amazing veggie broth. The spring rolls here are awesome as well, they have both regular with shrimp and vegan spring rolls. I normally get the rare brisket Pho but I recently tried the curry pho option and that one was quite good as well. The banh mi sandwiches were just ok. I wish the bread was better and crispier on the edges rather than soft, so I stick to the pho. Also, I really wish they used ceramic bowls instead of the paper ones. It must make sense financially, but it just seems wasteful and I prefer the feeling of eating out of real dishes. Other than those things, it is really solid and the best vegetarian Pho broth in Long Beach imo.
