Super fun, relaxed vibe with happy hour specials, a diverse menu, really yummy dishes each were a hit & great wines by the glass! Staff was on point & treated us like superstars! Ps we ate it all & would come back Pho Mo!
July 2025
Love this place. I work nearby and Pho Saigon has been a mainstay for me for years. Since I started going here it's only gotten better. Their pho is about as good as one can hope for; great tasting broth, quality meats, heaps of garnishes, and don't forget to ask for the *free* bone marrow, if you're into that ; ) Janet, one of the best servers around. Quality, comfy, good folks, delicious. Awkward location on Fairfax for sure but definitely worth the repeated visit....

I really love eating here and bringing friends who haven't yet been. The staff is always cheery and helpful, and the food is delicious. It's a bright spot on an unassuming area of Fairfax that's super close to LACMA, The Academy Museum, The Peterson, and the Tar Pits. I love the murals and the quirky little throwbacks that they've included like the tiny TV/VHS player combo complete with a selection of VHS tapes and the way the bill comes in a classic cassette...
