The giblets in the pho ga tasted not fit to eat or had a strange texture. Some were ok, but I had to spit out a lot.

Flavors of the pho and dipping sauce were not Vietnamese, the broth was not flavorful.

Resturant servers were Cantonese so do not order pho, get noodles or rice instead. Even still, they were busy and had a little bit of a wait. Wouldn't come back, there are better places for pho and the place across the street has better Chinese noodles.

This might be the best bbh in the city. I ordered take out and it traveled very well. Really complex flavors.

Tried pho ga, Hue spicy brisket noodle soup, and imperial rolls.

Pho ga was great!

But if you’re craving something other than that, choose your restaurant wisely.

Most mediocre “Vietnamese” food I’ve experienced in a long time. Food wasn’t fresh (see mung bean photo for example), beef was mostly gristle, vermicelli bowl bland ad tasteless. Even the fish sauce was like water, only spice is Sriracha. Won’t be back.

Pho Ga is such a comforting stop when you’re craving a hearty bowl of chicken pho. We ordered both the classic pho ga and the curry pho ga, along with an order of egg rolls to share.

The regular pho ga had a clean, soothing broth — light but still flavorful, with tender slices of chicken and noodles that were soft and easy to slurp. It’s the kind of bowl that feels nourishing without being overly salty or greasy. The curry pho ga, on the other hand, was the standout for me. The broth was golden, aromatic, and layered with a subtle richness from the curry — something you don’t often find at most pho shops. It’s hearty and unique but still maintains that pho comfort factor.

Egg rolls came out hot and crispy, perfect with the dipping sauce and pickled veggies on the side. Service was quick and efficient, even though the restaurant was buzzing during lunch.

Overall, a reliable spot for chicken pho lovers, and the curry pho is absolutely worth a try if you’re looking for something a little different. Solid 4/5 in my book — satisfying, flavorful, and a place I’d happily revisit when the craving strikes.

The pho ga was the best I've ever had (which makes sense given the name). The broth was super savory and not noticeably sweet as it has been at other pho places I've been to. The chicken had some skin and I believe a mixture of dark and white meat and was very flavorful. It reminded me of Hainanese chicken rice (which I consider a positive thing) possibly because the broth had scallions and it was served with a side of minced ginger (it might have been ginger and garlic, not sure)). My partner got the grilled pork vermicelli which was also quite good.

I came here with my family for a simple birthday dinner. It was my first time here and I was a bit nervous about the food, but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I ordered their #19, bun bo hue. I liked it, but was disappointed on how inconsistent it was in the spice level. Several of us ordered the BBH and you could tell each bowl had a different spice level from the red flakes and spicy oil amounts in each bowl. It has a good amount of blood jelly in it, so that was a plus!

Service was great! They were very accommodating with the kids by offering them water right away instead of tea, which were for the adults. They also allowed us to order a plain pho without any garnish for the children along with small bowls with plastic utensils.

The interior kind of has a hole in the wall vibe to it, which is what I was fine for me for my birthday celebration because I wanted something low key and inexpensive. Our total for 9 people (this includes 2 small children) was ~$140, not including tips, so not bad at all for dinner!

There is parking in front, but that fills up quickly from the nearby dessert and boba places, but you can also find more parking around the corner too! Great spot for a chill/low key and inexpensive dinner! I would love to be back to try some of their pho.

They have too many options but if you got flu ask for the noodle chicken soup, delicious and the portions worth every penny.

We ordered the rare beef pho and I got the grilled chicken & imperial roll with vermicelli. One thing I noticed was that there are no small or large size bowls options of pho on the menu--it's just one size.

Our orders came quickly and right away our bowl of noodles were pretty big. I thought the portion was generous; lots of noodles and meat & the broth was very flavorful. The chicken bun was also very good, served with a nice balanced portion of lettuce. I added the sauce, mixed it and it was so delicious.

Some of the best pho I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Broth is bursting with flavor. Unpretentious spot. Garlic noodles were good, but pho is worth a trip back for.
