Pho is flavorful. A legitimate pho place and a place to return to when in the area.
Portion to menu pricing is reasonable. Here, an order of small Special Pho is $12.00 compared to Monterey Park or Alhambra area at $15.
Service and atmosphere is atypical of a small business pho restaurant. Not a lot of frills. Just a reasonably clean place for dining. Overall a good meal and service.

The pho was tasteful along with the garden rolls. Although the outside may have been a bit tainted by old graffiti, dont let that stop you from the quality of the meal and cost of the bowls. The serving was a smaller size bowl than expected for a large, and the flavor wasn't bold that would make it stand out from what I can compare to. The host was very nice. The peanut sauce was a little too liquidy. The pho with noodles only, would be the only one I would not recommend, because no taste, and extremely bland. The decor is a bit shabby, but again not what you come for, but the bowls of pho. Id recommend changing the menu to look better and add a little flair with some viet soft music. Other than that we may come back if were ever in the area.

Best kept secret in Long Beach. Feels like going to a friend's house. There's alot of pho places in Long Beach, but this is by far my favorite. I followed them from their old location to their new one, and when it comes to pho, a bowl of their hot bone broth, noodles and toppings will literally resurrect you from the grave. I didn't want to write this review because I didn't a bunch of would be influencers burning the spot, but some secrets are best shared before your deathbed.

Great little spot. The pho is excellent because the broth is delicious with very flavorful, traditional Vietnamese seasoning.

This is my first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. Located off the busy Anaheim Street. Parking is available, but it's shared with others.

Mom and Pops operated. Nothing fancy, just a simple dining area with minimal decor. Even the menu is just a simple printed paper menu.

I ordered the Oxtail Pho. The bowl came out piping hot! Decent size bowl. The broth is clear, loaded with cilantro, white onions, and green onions. You can definitely smell the fresh herbs and all the spices. Great balance, nothing overpowering. First slurp, I was in heaven. The broth is rich but complex. You can definitely taste the star anise and cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. Not too sweet, with a hint of fattiness from the oxtail. The noodles are perfectly cooked. They only give you two decent size oxtails, and I wish that they cooked it a little bit longer. Minus 1 STAR 🌟. The fresh herb condiments are fresh and generous. I wish it's limes intead of lemons. Also, they don't have Sriracha but they have chili oil.

Overall, it's a great quality pho, authentic tasting. I didn't have to add anything besides the squeeze lemon and the fresh herbs. Will be coming back for sure.

Price: $15 + tip.

Loved this pho place! Such excellent food, service and they’re open early which is nice to avoid lunch rush times. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering eating around 10am.

Ordered the small tendon pho and was pleasantly impressed of how many pieces of tendons were included! Spring rolls were fresh and went well with the warm peanut sauce. Thai milk tea was delicious!!

Thanks for the excellent experience, will be back!

Pho was just ok but the portions are decent, though not large even for the large bowl. There's an extra 2% charge for using credit cards.

It is a small dining restaurant with a limited menu. Easy pick, nothing special, but suitable for a quick lunch. Food came out quickly. Overall, satisfied our stomach.

Our new go to place. You walk in and immediately know this place is authentic. A little slice of Vietnam. Family-owned, grandpa was the one who served us our soups with a smile and also gave us some great tips on the best way to eat the Pho (black and red sauce on the side for dipping). Everyone who walked in seemed like family to the owners. Very good atmosphere.
