“We devoured the bahn mi's before we could take any pictures.

Very nice presentation in the box and bread was crazy fresh. Ordered the frspy pork and beef sandwiches, with extra pate. Delicious!

The vietnamese coffee was strong strong! Will be back.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“It's not the best banh mi around, but certainly the best price/quality ratio in Alhambra. The line can be long and you can order ahead (phone), but if you just drop by around noon. Expect a bit of a wait. The owner speaks English, Vietnamese and Cantonese, so walk in with no fear. Coffee is excellent here too.“

“Best bánh mì sandwich I ever ate. I had the #8 charbroiled pork. So good!! Very highly recommend this place.“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“My first time here, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The rare beef pho was absolutely delicious, with a rich, flavorful broth and tender beef that melted in my mouth.
What really stood out, though, was the outstanding customer service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made me feel right at home, checked in regularly, and were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. It's rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally impressive.
Great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely kind people. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious pho and exceptional service.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“loved eating there with pops“

“My favorite banh mi ! If you're near the west Covina/Azusa area. It's a must try. The shop is a mom and pop shop with authentic pho. During lunch make sure you can find a seat cause it gets popping! And if you're there for breakfast you've got to try their huge egg tarts and Vietnamese coffee. It's not for the weak ! So strong and sweet. You for you vegetarians you've got to try the veggie banh mi. Adorable and filling 😋“

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

“Great food and new location!“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“The banh xeo is top notch here. Both the shrimp and fish ones are great! It's so crispy and comes with lots of fresh veggies. Its even crispy and perfect when I get take out! A little pricey but it's a good portion. There is a $1 credit card fee so bring cash. I love this place so much, if only they opened for dinner!“

“I have my personal preference in taste as anyone else would.
It didn’t completely match what Im used to but I won’t ever put that against anyone.
It was delicious, boiling out of the pot- just how I like it.
Noodles were a bit more chewy than I prefer
Service: Only that I needed to flag someone down if I wanted something other than water. But still better than most places.
It was slow but the inside is very warm and welcoming.
I ordered the fried wontons-15/10
Chicken pho-9/10
Loved it 😊“

“Great food, nice service, liked the ambiance. Definitely recommended“

“Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam.

Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items.

Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better.

Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on.“

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜“

“Pho Filet 2 is a solid Vietnamese spot in the San Gabriel Valley if you’re craving a comforting bowl of pho. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere where locals come for quick and satisfying meals.

I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (special beef pho), and the broth was rich and aromatic. It came with a generous portion of noodles and different cuts of beef like brisket and tendon. The meat was tender, and the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime really brought the whole bowl together.

I also tried the spring rolls with peanut sauce, which were fresh and light, making a great appetizer before the pho. The portions were big and the prices were very reasonable.

Service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly even when the restaurant was busy. Overall, Pho Filet 2 is a great casual spot for authentic Vietnamese comfort food.“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“One of our fav Vietnamese restaurants!
Food is amazing and menu items are more than the basic pho soup and rice dishes. Try the bone marrow, the spicy fish, or the filet mignon with egg noodles! Damned delicious. Staff is also very nice.“

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.“

“I love the two Summer Rolls locations in Temple City already and this one adds another dimension to their restaurants. The first one is traditional, well the second one has a bar and a cool vibe, and this one feels a little bit more elevated. Service was good, food was excellent as usual, but it isn't a busy plaza we're parking can be a little bit of a challenge. I think the location is also good simply because it's near the mission district area. I have met the owners and they are very hard-working people and I really do enjoy talking to you the owner that heads up the Rosemead location who strives to remember your name and always greets people enthusiastically.“

“It's a one man band, so it took awhile for us to get our food. You will need patience. But when it comes out, it was so worth it! Next time I'd try calling and order ahead, or order a takeout. There's a lot next door that has zero marking, but you can park there.“

“friendly and good service for great prices for pho dac biet and crispy noodles with shrimp“

“Very popular Vietnamese restaurant. We got there about 11 am on a Friday and it was almost full. 10 min later the people had to sign up on the waitlist. The size of the pho noodles is huge. The flavor of the broth was good. They charge 3% more if paid by credit card.“

“I’m devastated that I loved their pho so much too since I’m trying not to eat out as much. I had the pho with brisket and fried egg rolls. It was delicious and had generous amounts of all the fixings. I can eat but the pho portion was filling and shareable. The employees were very friendly even though I ended up there unexpectedly and had on a ratty tshirt and pijamas 😅“

“Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want.

Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot.

We need to come back again to give it a second try.“

“Love love love, It was my first time going and I ordered the Brisket Pho, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Sesame Balls, And Vietnamese Iced Coffee (My favorite 10 out of 10 alone) was amazing. It was a 10 out of 10 for me can't wait to try their other options. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“The chicken curry with baguette was so flavorful rich, creamy, and comforting! Love that everything here tastes homemade.“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“Been coming here for years. The only spot in the area to not suffer from shrinkflation. The red rice with the steak cubes is my go-to but their hainan chicken and Cornish hen are pretty good too! Service is stellar and the vibes are chill. I'll continue coming here for years!“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“Their food is amazing. It’s so delicious!!Everything I tried has not disappointed me.Their fries and wings had so much flavor and were crispy. The pho soup was just perfect that you didn’t even have to add anything else to give it flavor so you can enjoy it just like that.“

“My friend recommended this place and it definitely delivered! It’s a little hole in the wall with aunties coming up a storm of deliciousness. The place is cozy and has room for small out large groups.
They were so polite, kind and attentive. The food came out quickly and was stunning. We got shredded pork rolls that were good. The beef soup with yellow noodles was really good and delicious. Our absolute favorite was the lemon grass chicken. It was so flavorful and had a little kick to it. The rice was perfect and went well with the chicken. I can’t wait to get this again. I also got soy milk and it was absolutely lovely warmed. 10/10 experience!“

“Closed to home 25 miles but better than go to Santa Ana 45 miles. Food taste 3.9 Cleanness 4 Atmosphere 3.9 Huge place, clean and perfect bathroom“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“Recently opened its door in the Temple City, Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is the new culinary destination for Vietnamese cuisine lovers. Having moved to Temple City, it stands proudly across from Summer Roll, inviting diners to embark on a gastronomic journey to Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

The restaurant’s specialty, Bun Bo Hue, is a testament to the authentic flavors of Huế. This Vietnamese beef noodle soup, known for its spicy and robust taste, is served in a generous portion brimming with succulent meat. The rich and aromatic broth leaves a lingering warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.

For those eager to explore the breadth of Huế’s culinary landscape, the Hue Combo is a must-try. This dish is a culinary mosaic, showcasing the region’s famous noodle-based delights. It’s an ideal choice for newcomers and connoisseurs alike, offering a sample platter of Huế’s pride.

While the Bun didn’t quite meet expectations, it holds promise. A tweak in noodle texture to achieve that coveted al dente bite, paired with a more traditional Vietnamese egg roll, could elevate this dish to new heights.

The Pho presents a soulful broth that sings with depth and clarity. However, the noodles yearn for a bit more finesse to match the soup’s excellence.

Service at Kim Hoa Hue is attentive and earnest, although a broader grasp of English would enhance the overall experience. For now, Google Translate bridges the communication gap, adding a touch of modernity to the dining experience.

The ambiance is as fresh as the flavors, with a bright and contemporary setting that promises growth and refinement. Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a slice of Huế’s regal cuisine with every dish. With a few culinary tweaks, this establishment is poised to become a cornerstone of the local food scene.“

“First of all BEST Pho in town. OMG!!!customer service is awesome. Been coming here since they first opened. Will keep coming back for more Pho and other foods.“

“Awesome service, great fOOd, large TVs , nice portions- Wish they had delivery service ;)“

“If this is not the best banh mi in all of Sgv and Oc, I don’t know of any place that can beat them. All cash by the way so come prepared. Their dac biet is the perfect sandwich and their daikon and carrots are light and bouncy with fresh jalapeno with the right amount of pate and butter. They have it down to perfection, nothing less. Had an open house and served it for homebuyers and they were blown away! Highly recommend! Cafe sua da is gold too, loved the shaved ice in the coffee and not too sweet. The ladies in the back are super sweet and you can buy the baguettes and freeze them, then 350 f for 6 mins in toaster or airfryer. Get the egg rolls, and pa te so is good too. My clients loved their vegetarian banh mi too!

Vegetarian options: Just get he vegetarian banh mi! Only vegetarian thing to get or just plain baguettes! It will be worth it!“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“Visited this restaurant many times in the past 10+ years. Price and serving portion are good. Tastes are great. Service wide, the guests have to be patient with the waitresses. The young waiter, works evening shift only, is friendly with humor.“

“Found my favorite noodle here. Their signature dish and the best I ever taste is their Bún bò Huế. Place is small but no line. There are more than one locations if this business operate by different families. The Monterey Park location taste the best.“
