Viet Noodle Bar (Pico Blvd)

No taste website said $13 and when I got there they charged me $22, we will never go back there again

Beef pho was bland and murky broth. Meat tasted funny so couldn’t even finish it and I was hungry!. $21 was way too expensive for this quality and serving size. Service was thoughtful and nice so that was a saving grace. Do not recommend for pho.

Worst attitude given by Fernando today. Very unfortunate. Walked in during business hours. He was on the phone with someone complaining about his order was late. Hung up and said sorry we are closed for dining today. This man just did not want to serve me in there. Really terrible attitude. After paying parking and driving all the way there. I am a regular of the Atwater location. But this location needs hire people who have a decent attitude, honoring business hours and don’t treat patrons like that. Terrible. Hope they apologize and get in touch with me because that’s just a no for this location and management for me. Food is usually good in this restaurant, but I would never eat anywhere the attitude is like that.. Fernando needs a new job, that he loves but can’t make this nice restaurant look bad like this. It’s a big loss for their business and reputation.

I like pho and this pho was good so yum BUT I cannot say the best pho I am a trusty helper and ONLY speak truth .. when it come to pho. Also get the ginger fish pho instead of beef because my boyfriend were jealous of my pho and im gay they were so inclusive to me!

good and clean-tasting. fish was a little bland though, which was surprising.

DEFINITELY not pho. The broth was flavorless and even adding hoisin & sirarcha didn’t help. There was maybe 4 specks of meat that tasted flavorless and nothing like how it should for $20 and the noodles were an excuse of an attempt at pho noodles. They were soggy, flavorless, wide and never soaked up an ounce of flavor throughout the whole meal. stick to the traditional way if you can’t get it right.

A very clean and modern take on pho. They use very good ingredients, and you don’t feel heavy after. They don’t use a lot of salt too, which is great. I loved the turmeric fish and chicken soup.

I have tried almost all the Pho places on the westside, and this is some of the best Pho in the area! My dad was born and raised in Vietnam, so this review is coming from someone part Vietnamese. Lol. The restaurant has some modern takes on their dishes, but the flavors and noodle consistency are really good. This is my go to spot when I don’t feel like driving to Westminister for Vietnamese food. :)

The atmosphere is upscale and the service is kind. The pho was flavored really weirdly like with fennel or some odd herbs that really threw off the dish and gave it a sweet aftertaste. I know it’s a fusion spot, but it didn’t work for us, and was more expensive than your usual pho spot.We ordered #11 chicken pho and #15 spicy noodle with chicken. Maybe the other dishes are better, but I’m just gonna go back to traditional pho.

Delicious healthy food! We ordered their Chicken Pho and Turmeric Fish Rice Bowl. Chicken pho was delicious without tasting any msg! And Turmeric fish was so buttery and tasty! Really enjoyed our first lunch here. Service was so friendly and fast too. They did made a mistake on our Turmeric fish, but while we wait on the correct order they gave us some Jackfruit appetizer which was so delicious, so happy we got to try that dish. The wait wasn’t long too, they made our order so fast. Thank you! Definitely coming back!
