I ordered pho with beef steak and beef balls. It’s among the best pho I had in west LA. The soup is great. But honestly the beef is ok. The price may be a little higher than expected.The restaurant is in a good location, there’s boba next door.

Excellent Pho spot! Fresh spring rolls were delicious, vey good beer, wine and sake options and the pho absolutely hit the spot. Love the family style seating at the gorgeous red wood table. They are open for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend! I’ll be back for sure next time I’m in town.

I come to this place all the time and have always enjoyed the experience. However, I witnessed something somewhat disturbing tonight that makes me question whether or not I will ever dine her again. The cook in the back was eating what appeared to be Cheetos and was sweeping with a dirty looking broom while touching customer food without washing her hands. It is so unsanitary and egregious. No matter how good the pho is, I will never eat at a restaurant that tolerates food health and safety violations from its cooks. This needs to be corrected or customers will inevitably get sick.

I used to love this place, but tonight, while dining there, I observed something concerning. The cook, a girl with a brown ponytail and AirPods, was eating what appeared to be a cheesy snack and then handling our noodles with the same fingers—repeatedly. Additionally, she began sweeping with a broom without washing her hands before touching customers' food. I believe this violates food health and safety codes. It was extremely unhygienic.

is modern. Vietnamese restaurant was so so at best, it had a bustling crowd but I don't know. it didn't really taste that amazing. we also had the ban xeo which was crispy but lacked some flavor. also this place had off-brand Sriracha which didn't quite cut it

Absolutely perfect evening. We sat outside at 7pm and the little tables were fantastic and the quaintness of the little street were on point. The lemonade, spring rolls and the pho were all just amazing. Great service and I’d definitely recommend to anyone!

Very frustrating experience. Ordered delivery and pho broth came COMPLETELY cold, along with raw beef/veggies/noodles. Delivery was very quick, so the food left the restaurant cold. Couldn’t eat it obviously, didn’t want food poisoning.

Terrible service, overpriced mediocre food. A mandatory 18% service charge is the biggest joke. Went in at 2:05 today and the waitress stopped me at the door - no greeting whatsoever, slapped the menu in my hand, and said "you need to order right now. The kitchen is closing soon" TWICE before I even could look at the menu. If the kitchen needs to close at 2:15, update your schedules posted online and train your staff better on how to provide decent service! A mandatory service charge isn't gonna solve your problem. It only drives customers away when the service is nonexistent.It's been a while since my last visit but totally reminded me why I stopped going. The last time I went with my family, the waitresses were so rude that we got up and left before finished ordering.I used to really like this place as it WAS one of the cleanest Vietnamese restaurants I had been to. Today it didn't even look that clean. Things are getting old and greasy. The service was so bad on the two visits after covid.Will not go back again.
This is our favorite restaurant!! The servers are super awesome and nice, Isaiah and Mars are always kind and accommodating. Food comes out super fast and is always delicious! I would give it 10 stars if I could!! Love this place! My favorite dish is the rare steak pho.

Nothing greatly wrong just disappointed on paying just over $35 bucks for blan vegi pho & egg rolls. Custom service was odd as well. I walked in. The employees were walking past me multiple times while I waited in the doorway awkwardly without recognition that I was there untill 5 minutes. Like at least say hello make eye contact and smile.

I got “22. Bun Tom, Bo Nuong - Shrimp & Grilled Lemongrass Steak”. It was exactly what I wanted and had the flavors you’d expect (lemongrass etc.). I liked that the sauce was on the side and that payment was easy and fast (it’s through an app at the end, and 18% gratuity is included). The ambience was warming for dinner. The long community table inside was a bit odd to eat at since there’s a lot of stuff in the middle of it but overall I am satisfied and would return.

Nice small welcoming Café. Lucky we came at 1pm after the busy lunchtime. Selection #23 was good - Noodle Salad with chã giò, grilled shrimp and lemongrass steak - though the strips of steak were more salty, well done than we expected, and we could not taste the lemon grass. The serving portions were a little small, so we walked over next door to Blossom & Friends for desserts. Next time we will try the bánh xèo, Vietnamese “crêpe” which might be more filling!
