Excellent service and fast delivery of food. Had house special large size noodle that's satisfactory with plenty of noodle and beef with various textures. No thrills shop, not the best broth but with very solid offerings. Service team was wonderful thanks 🙏🏼. Worth the visit😎

Total rip off on the food. I got a number 20 that supposedly included pork, chicken, shrimp, and fish cakes. There was literally one piece of shrimp, two pieces of fish balls, mostly pork and no sign of chicken. My friend had vegeterian vermicelli but there were only two pieces of mushrooms. I rarely write bad reviews, but $15-$20 priced for that is unreasonable. Other than that, the bathroom was clean and the hostess was nice. Don’t waste your money here.

Not only did the pho taste pretty gross, but the cook/cashier sat at the table reading a newspaper, coughing and kept touching/rubbing his face.

Very quick and simple service, we were able to sit anywhere and right away at the time. Food came quickly right after, and was fresh and tasted great. Seems like a great place, lots of family and friends sitting around- had a welcoming and diverse atmosphere. Great place to get a meal when it's cold and rainy out.

I get the number 16 Pho w/steak. Very tasty. The broth is delicious. The service is outstanding. They are very accommodating for somebody that uses a wheelchair. I go back every chance I get.

I haven't been here for four years. I went there yesterday and the taste was okay. The rice noodles were a little lacking and the beef soup seemed to have added MSG.

Pho Little Saigon is a cozy spot for a hearty winter lunch. Their large pho bowl of PHỞ BÒ VIÊN TÁI (beef balls and rare steak), paired with a Soda Chanh, is a perfect combo. The broth is rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, while the portions offer an excellent meat-to-noodle ratio, ensuring every bite is balanced and hearty. The service is quick, though table cleanup can occasionally lag. Seating is self-serve, and clean tables are generally available. At around $20 for a large bowl, the price feels fair for the portion and quality. A great place to warm up and enjoy comforting Vietnamese cuisine.

I got 1 small piece of pork in my rice plate! Pricey for the amount of food provided.

They don't serve beer nor will they give you extra lettuce to go with the egg rolls, which in this case doesn't matter because the egg rolls were filled with something like mashed potatoes and made them unpalatable. The beef bun was edible but the side vegetables were soggy and carrots tasted fermented as if being left at room temperature and forgotten for several days. Not recommended. I'm beginning to think that all the restaurants around this strip (Hot Wok, Inshou, etc. ) are owned by the same person or business that knows nothing about the foods they are supposed to serve.

First time, only ate here because Inshou Restarant was closed on Thursday. Everything was clean, and the food, beef stew over rice, was just okay. As others have said, when you use the electronic meal order board, you will be charged a fee for use of your payment method but no where are you told this and I am willing to bet that this is a violation of the law. Also, the my dish looked nothing like that on the electronic order board. I definitely have a greater appreciation of my go to place, Inshou.
