Excellent serving, Sitting was outstanding. Food was unmatched in taste. Will definitely visit again.

In my opinion, this is the best bowl of pho I've had in LA and I've tried them all. I think the reason I'm giving this business four stars has to do with both the ambience and the selections on the menu. For starters, they do not offer other traditional Vietnamese dishes, like spring rolls, or bun. It seems that it is very limited to Pho and some fried options. The ambience was very bright, and the music was a bit loud for my taste. I like something a little bit more subdued, but I understand that I'm being a bit picky. But the actual Pho itself? Unbelievably flavorful. Another complaint, they do not offer the nuc bro which is traditionally available at every pho place I've ever been to. On the plus side, they have what it is almost a salad bar type, set up where you can grab the sides for the Pho that you want: lime slices, basil, bean, sprouts, jalapeño slices, and onions. This is perfect for me because I like to have a little more basil and onion, but I don't care for the jalapeño and that way none gets wasted on me. If you're only interested in getting a bowl of pho, you are in the right place. I will be back here again for sure.

Too "Koreanized", not that it is a bad thing.... For sure for all the Korean brothers and sisters! However, how does a Vietnamese place doesn't have spring rolls? And, the broth is too deep, which is expected in Korean soups but not for pho. Clear and light is best for pho broth... Of course before adding oyster sauce and Sriracha. I visited many pho spots in LA and they are no where near in distance and taste like OC. We all have to settle for less in LA. BTW, don't give me bones in my soup! That just reduces the amount of soup. Save that for kalbi-tang.

The restaurant was really clean. The bathrooms were really clean as well. And the pho was excellent! I had only tendon pho, and it was delicious. Not every pho place can do tendons this well. I think this is my new favorite pho spot in Los Angeles! The waitress was also very polite and nice. Thank you!!!

Hmmm, I'm iffy about this spot. I have been meaning to try out more pho places in Koreatown so I can pick my go-to. This one isn't it. The parking lot has free parking, and I was able to snag a spot on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't have to pay a guy for valet. They have bathrooms inside. I got the #12 special combo with brisket and rare steak $15.53. The rare steak was too fatty for me. The portion size is also what I would say is a "large" at pho restaurants. They only have one size here. Next time I would share with someone else. They do have a bar for sides, like bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, lemons, and jalapenos. I was expecting kimchi like some Google reviews mentioned, but they did not have any at the time of my visit. That was disappointing because I wanted to try their kimchi. There is a water jug with cups, so I thought that was self-served also. However, the server said she would get water for us.

Food was good. Pay first. Then be seated. The pho broth was savory. Very comforting. But the noodle portion and meat needs more. The pho sides were self serve. The tonkatsu plate were ginormous. And we also ordered the fried vegetarian rolls - it was mediocre. It was not good. Pho 2000 and Pho Legend have better eggrolls. The service is so-so. The lady at the counter wasn't that warm. She was a a bit cold. And she didn't even check on her customers. She just sat in the counter. In short, she lacked customer service. We were not even greeted with a hello and a thank you. Ambiance is okay. Very minimal. It is nice and clean. Passing with a three stars.

Hi Yelpers, Wow! Quick service, quiet ambience, and amazing food. I ordered the fried shrimp plate while family ordered Pho. We had the house special, the beef rib, and we had all the veggies. My plate had an extra side of soup with delicious broth. I can't wait to return here. Yummy Yummy!

Sliced pork was not grilled for the bun and rice dish. Brisket for combination pho was so tough, couldn't chew. Beef broth tastes full of MSG.

Food was good. Went with good company. Pho rare steak is good. I wish they had spring rolls, but the broth was well made. Would definately go back there again.

Overall this place is great service. Delicious pho. The inside ambiance is very casual. My negative point is for the $1.00 surcharge for each item you order to go. I ordered 3 items and got charged $3.00. First time I've encountered this at any restaurant for take out. Seems kind of petty?
This is my go to restaruant. Food is really great! House special pho and curry tonkatsu is really great!

Gosh, lately I've been going to Korea town every other week, I think there's so much to eat but I just eat pho and Korean lol so I was walking around and Vermont street is so much fun during the night, they have food vendors truck and stands up and down the whole street. So much to choose from. But pho is always on top of my list, so here I am. When you walk in, is spacious and clean. Oder at the counter and the Korean lady brings it out to you. First she brings out the cup of cold water then let me know there's condiments over there for your pho. I like the concept cuz is not wasteful, most Vietnamese restaurant would bring out the Thai basil and bean sprouts or when you order the egg rolls, it comes with all different types of herbs and lettuce, some people don't know what to do with it and is a waste. So this concept of getting the right amount of basil and bean sprouts lime jalapeño peppers or onions, you get what you can eat and not waste anything. I ordered the house special combination pho and the broth was flavorful, not too oily. The meat was in small pieces even the meat balls was tiny, smaller then the jalapeño peppers. Overall, it was pretty good. I would come back here. I was going to order some egg rolls but is a little pricey almost $12 for 6 pieces but I didn't. The cashier lady was really nice. There's a parking lot. Pho La La, I'll be back.

Yelp says they're open, drove here for 20 min, they are closed. Not sure if they went out of business or changed their hours. Please update your hours on Yelp if you're still in business you wasted my time.

This place is really good but I have only tried one thing from this place. I always order the rib pho and it is so delicious. They give you a lot of meat and it's good portions of everything.

Love coming here specifically for the open toppings bar. You have unlimited toppings. Service is always great. They never miss
