The food is amazing and the quantity is also generous. This will be my secret place to revisit for sure!

Rainy days mean PHO! Well at least in my book. So I took advantage of the weather and was scrolling through Yelp to help me find the perfect spot. This place wasn't even a mile from my house, and the reviews looked good so I had to come try it out. The restaurant is very clean. I was surprised the whole place wasn't filled dude to the weather, but I was sat instantly and given a menu. The menus could use a little bit of a wipe down. I'm pretty basic when it comes to pho, so I went with chicken. ( I know boring .. sorry ). It came with fresh basil, lime, and jalapeños ( I was wondering where the sprouts were). The broth itself was delicious . Filled to brim with white and green onions. There was a good amount of chicken as well. Great portions. I made sure to bring some home with me. To add a little crunch to my lunch I also ordered the egg rolls which were stuffed with chicken and veggies. These egg rolls were delicious. They came out hot ! I could tell they were made to order and they tasted like it ! Overall super happy to find this little gem in my neighborhood. Can't wait for the next rainy day!

Ordered from here for the first time as a to go order and would look forward to again. First thing noticed was there was a good amount of meat provided and slices of variety of cuts which was great (some places skimp and it didn't felt like it here). One thing some other places don't provide is rare steak and super surprised they had it! Reminds of home made pho. Broth was flavorful too. There was tripes and tendon which I loved and expected from combo pho. Plenty of veggies and bean sprouts. Would come back here.

I was very excited to try this place as it had previous good reviews . I was very disappointed to get chewy transparent shrimp (undercooked) the guy wasn't offering a refund while I was on the phone with me . smh . Be careful with this place !

This is my go to local spot for pho. The rice, vermicelli dishes and the banh mi are also great choices when it's too hot for soup.

Not the cleanest place. Bring your own plates and utensils. Food quality is sub-par. I would avoid this place.

This is a must try place! If you haven't tried their pho, egg rolls, sandwiches you are missing out. Great taste at a great price. I haven't been back three times this past month. Enjoy!

A little place in old town Monrovia. I and sister wanted to try some pho and found this place. I order food to go the sample platter and a pho noodle soup. Very tasty for the platter! Pho soup was good also. We will return soon

Excellent food, super bowl is the best of youbare in the mood for Pho, also the vermicelli plate is excellent. Place is a bit older and needs an update but staff is friendly and food is fresh.

Food is okay, with good taste but the service is the worst. We arrived around 6:30 pm in a Monday, place was empty; the kid with hair loss was unfriendly he didn't say a word just thrown off the menus, then he just asked if we were ready to order, we ordered the vegetarian pho en the vegetarian rolls first he brought a plate with spring rolls I told him that we ordered the vegetarian fried rolls, he took them back and he brought the regular egg rolls with meat, we didn't want to ask him again to take them back no big deal, so he delivery the pho after, during our time there no he never checked on us, he was sitting at the register watching his phone all the time, one of the employees or cooks took a sit and eat his food next to us, and just right after he was done, he proceeded to smoke his cigarette just out of the door. All the smoke and smell came inside, was really discovering and uncomfortable eating like that, when we were done eating again he never checked on us, we paid at the register and he charged me the spring rolls that he brought first. I pointed out ti him and he just said oh! And he gave $10 cash from the cashier. Not even a thank you for coming. We try to help the local businesses her but with this kind of service is hard ti dos so. Sadly we are not coming back. That guy makes the service miserable.
I was starving after my hair appointment in Downtown Monrovia. This cozy pho place is right across the street my my stylist and I decided to pop in and try it out (it was a cold afternoon and soup couldn't be any better). The restaurant was empty and we were the only ones there the entire time. We got a starter plate and the egg rolls were so Delicious. Spring rolls were probably a 7/10. Rocket shrimp was so so good. The beef in my soup was tender and flavorful. The broth had a good taste but it did come out less hot than at most places I've been to. I think this is a great little place to grab a quick filling bite if you are in the area

I enjoyed the food here for a couple of months despite their service. The food was decent enough to tolerate either one of the owner's kids who clearly did not want to be there; UNTIL, today. Today I walked in and ordered to go (they wouldn't pick up the phone). Upon getting home and immediately opening up my vermicelli a FOUL smell took over the atmosphere but I took a bite anyway only to spit it out. The meat was ROTTEN. yes, rotten. I showed a piece to my dog and she wouldn't even come near me. I drove back with the rotten meat and one of the cooks came out to see, she smelled the food and cringed her face. I said "try it" LoL and she shook her head. I was asked by the kid if I'd like another one or a refund and I asked for a refund. My plate was $13 and he gave me back $5 claiming that the only thing that was bad was the meat. .. .... Really? Ok! I used to recommend this place and would come by quite often. I'll never walk in there again. They messed up the only good thing they had, food.

The banh mi was ok and the girl at the register seemed so bored, like someone who just got up from a nap. The location is cool.

If you're looking for some good pho and Vietnamese food in the Monrovia area, this is the place to go.The pho bowl with short rib was delicious and the meat was nice and tender. The egg rolls were also tasty and crispy. Definitely will be back here.
