Heard about this place through a friend. Then read about it in the news paper and the story about the owners was intriguing. Many good restaurants in this area. BUT This has a gourmet feel and taste. Ordered crab rolls and by far best ever. A must when visiting our before they realize what a amazing deal for this dish ?. Wish I could give more stars.

I normally have a great experience here but this time, the service was horrible. Cashier literally ripped the cash I had out of my hand and rudely gave me back my change and my food. The food is great but I will not be returning after this.

Love the food at this place. The owner, husband initially comes off as rough around the edges or rude but, he is well intended and ensures that your food is delicious. By far the best pho and Vietnamese food in all the San Fernando Valley.

I really love this restaurant! As a Vietnamese who was born and raised in this country for more than 18 years, I am so happy to find this place. The ambiance and the food really bring me back to my hometown. The restaurant has a variety of traditional food from different places in Vietnam. Hence, I never really get bored of eating the same food. Also, the food here is absolutely delicious!! They pretty much make me feel nostalgic.In terms of service, the owner is indeed straightforward and sweet. He may seem unfriendly at first, but after you talk to him, you will realize how friendly and welcoming he is. He gives me the feeling of talking to a family member haha. He is just that nice. That's why this place is still my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in LA.

Never would I have imagined finding tasty Asian gems in SFV, but I have to admit that Khuu Bistro is one of those! Although service here could be improved, the dishes that they serve are likely the best in the SFV!Between my friend and I, we ordered their Banh Beo (Steam Rice Cake), Pho Bo Kho (beef stew), and Crab Rolls. We started with the Banh Beo - ooh these tasted great especially with their nuoc mam (fish sauce). A spoonful of that into the little plates, and that's 2-3 bites of happiness!The pho bo kho came next, and I have to admit that I devoured that so fast! The beef was very tender, and the broth was bold and meaty - the perfect mix of sweet and savory. The crab rolls contained real crab, and it was very crispy. This dish tasted great, and by this point we were stuffed! The staff also checked on us after each dish, and you could feel the aura of pride and confidence in each dish that they served - top quality!Although the staff were attentive at the beginning, getting water and the check was a more difficult experience. There were still three customers, but the staff member at the time was on their laptop. Additionally, the table was a bit greasy and dirty. I realized this when I picked up my phone and had to wash the oil off in the restroom.

The food- perfect for the person who wants to come "home" to viet nam without having to go to orange county. Everything is so well seasoned, fresh, each dish tasted distinct and different. I ordered the wonton soup, very wholesome and safe for the nonadventurous eater. The carpaccio with mam ruoc (fermented shrimp paste) is a must try for someone looking for something new and delicious! Ive been here twice, and i will absolutely be trying everything on the menu. The service- everyone keeps calling him a "grumpy old man", he's not. People keep expecting other people at work to bend over backwards for them in order to get a five star review. He's super sweet, personable, and warm! I felt like i was with family. Just treat him like a human being and you're square, the guy is super friendly. The ambience- there hasnt been music played once while i ate there. But im here for the food, so honestly who cares. Nice pictures of the other plates on the screens though

Hands down, the best Vietnamese food in Los Angeles. As many times as I've been to Vietnam this is the closest LA has to offer of a taste of both Northern and Southern cuisine.

Delightful hidden spot with AMAZING, VERY AUTHENTIC, DELICIOUS Vietnamese food!!! The Pho was better than any I have ever tasted! When you go, ask for recommendations! Whole coconut to drink was the icing on the cake!
