A hole in the wall spot with incredible food. Someone in our party said it was the best Vietnamese food he’d had growing up in LA. We enjoyed the range of harder to find dishes, such as bun beoh, a raw beef carpaccio (super tender), an bank xeo (crepes). You can tell there’s a lot of passion out in the food. We also appreciated the incredible sauces that were served with the dishes and fresh herbs. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area!

I asked the guy (owner?) when I called to cook the meat and he said it would be better raw but I said no I’m sorry I don’t like it that way. He said ok and still gave it to me raw. He was very unfriendly barely spoke to me when I went in to pick it up. Safe to assume he was like I don’t care I’m giving it raw anyway and not a mistake. I’ve eaten dozens of pho places and they happily will give you cooked meat. The broth was also not warm. Will never go here again. What a disappointment.

Food was on point, vibe was off the charts. Bun bo hue done right. Broth hit the spot, like the chef has had some from the homeland (hue). Vibe was like a cafe from before the war. Only one chef so be patient. Other diners were viet speaking families. Viet coffee was accurate, the coffee was buttery and nutty, the right way imo. Feels like the chef left the game to open up their own small thing and its amazing. Try it before... this spot isn't gonna be around for another generation.

Do not come here.
Save your money and your sanity. Eat literally anywhere else.
Overall a very regrettable experience that made me question why I gave this place a cent of my hard earned money. The food was barely passable, just edible enough to remind you that you’re eating, but nothing worth remembering. The real issue is the owner’s attitude. It is a husband and wife operation and the husband acts like customers are an inconvenience rather than the reason his doors are still open.
Every request was met with a grunt or an eye roll. He demanded we order everything at once because there is “only one cook,” barked constantly at his employee, and hovered over her while she cleaned tables, creating a miserable atmosphere for everyone in the room. The hostility was so thick it ruined any chance of enjoying the meal.
This restaurant isn’t surviving because it’s good. It’s surviving because there’s no competition nearby. If another decent place opened within a few blocks, this one would be finished.

Located on the northeast corner of Sherman Way and Wilbur in a small strip mall. Parking is free but does get crowded. This little restaurant is a gem. Not a huge menu but the food is amazing. Their Pho broth is among the best I’ve ever had. Other than water, all the drinks available are bottled or canned.

What a hidden gem! We all really savored the food. The restaurant offers dishes that you often don't see at other Vietnamese restaurants in the area: banh beo, banh xeo. The bun bo hue broth was tasty and different from other places. We took a picture with the chef. My wife and I plan to return to try some of their northern Vietnamese dishes.
Was very surprised to find Phnom Penh style noodle soup (Cambodian version of pho)in this part of upper LA and it was very delicious. The dish itself had some unique additions to it that you normally wouldn’t see in the dish such and fried pork skin & quail eggs as well. The menu had some interesting and authentic items that I have never seen at other Vietnamese restaurants and I will come back to try them all. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for good and authentic Vietnamese food.

I discovered Khuu bistro by accident as I was in the area- what a great surprise!! First thing I started chatting with a lovely Vietnamese brother & sister who were regulars & spoke French- they helped me pick out things to try! I absolutely loved the pork in fish sauce, a recipe from Hanoi. We also got crispy chicken which was delicious. My sauce also ordered beef broccoli but this one was a bit too salty I thought. The decor is modest but clean, capacity is probably 20 with about 6/7 tables. The owner served us and he was nice & also spoke French :) I would recommend and come back for sure!
