“Doing tofu and mushrooms this well is VERY RARE. Most places miss the mark on the tofu marinade, and it can be bland. Not the case here! Bun & Mi are able to work umami miracles with the mushroom tofu noodle bowl. The vegan sauce (vinaigrette) is balanced and intentionally subtle but perfect in acidity and salinity and depth.

They clearly are a mom/pop place, with exceptional quality control. They have crushed ice, filtered water. This may sound like a strange thing to remark, BUT it makes all the difference! So many places are not paying attention to the little details, serving tap water that tastes like it came out of a fish bowl. This place is giving you a very intentional, humble and delicious meal. Doing a few menu items and doing them well!“

“Delicious broth, slightly too salty for me, but very, very flavorful. Didn't need any additional sauces
Just a dash of lemon. Portions are very healthy. I got the oxtail and it was delicious! The rolls are all excellent, super crunchy outside Ave moist inside, the salads are fresh and delicious and the pork chop was perfectly seasoned. Service is quick, friendly and with a smile.
The decor is very open, light and inviting. Definitely will be coming back to try more of the menu.

If you liked my review please give me a thumbs up 👍🏾 to let me know! Follow me for more fun reviews. 🙏🏾“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“Phorage on Overland in Los Angeles is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine. The menu has a cool mix of traditional and modern dishes that are both tasty and unique. The Pho Birria is absolutely incredible. 10/10“

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“This Vietnamese pork bún is simple, filling, and very satisfying.

The grilled pork is the highlight—big, well-cooked pieces with a smoky, savory flavor. It’s generous and feels hearty rather than skimpy. The noodles are light and soak up the sauce nicely, while the fresh vegetables add crunch and keep the bowl from feeling too heavy.

The spring roll is a nice extra, giving a crispy bite, and the sauce is delicious—savory with a touch of sweetness, bringing everything together when mixed.

Overall, it’s a well-balanced bowl with good pork, fresh sides, and a great sauce, served in a generous portion.“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“Very tasty sandwiches!! Great Vietnamese flavor!!!!“

“Fantastic food. We had the DineLA menu and a great introduction to their food. Awesome service. Love the interior. Will be back again“

“We started with spring rolls (the crispy rolls were highly recommended) and won tons. Entrées were crab noodle and sweet and sour duck, but they brought us a katsu-type chicken with rice, let us keep the mistake, and we had coffee crème brûlée for desert. The fried food was tasty, but a little heavy, good portion size and wonderful flavor (for the prices). Only drank water, but every part of the menu was well attended, not to mention the house and service, and although our area of the room was a little dark, it was good ambience.“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

“Ordered the vegetable pho — portions are generous and prices are reasonable, but the broth itself was a bit bland and the vegetables a little undercooked. Overall they had a lot of options on the menu — the meat phos seem to be more popular.“

“beef Pho is excellent. chow fun us also very good“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“Not the biggest fan of how they charge for all the extra sides you’d typically get for free when ordering pho at any other restaurant, but still enjoyed my meal. They serve large bowls, although it’s a bit extra broth for its contents. The beef rolls are a yummy appetizer and the brisket is tasty. Service is fine, they do automatically add 18% minimum service charge to small parties and more for larger parties.“

“Tastes great! Excellent service and very clean restaurant.“

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“Love eating here! Friendly service and delicious food! They have lots of options .“

“Reviews are mixed, but my experience was alright and Id give 3.8/5. The pho broth is on the sweeter side and had a lot of flavor, which I liked. The egg rolls were probably precooked or sitting under a heat lamp since it came out literally a minute after ordering. The noodles in the pho were pre-cooked and one big clump, but I was able to give it a few stirs, and it was good to go.

Overall atmosphere is dated. It's old style mom and pop. There was a worker in there playing a game or watching a drama on his phone with the speaker at max volume, so it was so distracting and annoying. Very rude to customers trying to dine.

Service was good. Orders taken promptly, and the grandma came over to check up and refill waters.“

“Great place for takeout or dining in. Nothing fancy. Just good old Vietnamese food and plentiful portions.“

“The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The food is always delicious and full of flavor.

Must try: Papaya Salad and Pad Thai. The homemade hot chili here is especially good, it adds the perfect kick to every dish.

Highly recommend!“

“Good location to meet up with friends. Spacious and good food“

“The closest to sitting at a beach front restaurant on Koh Lipe I have had. DELICIOUS“

“We had chicken wontons, vegan pho and chicken pho. My husband fell in love with chicken wontons and that’s why we visited phorage multiple times after our first visit. Both the vegan and the chicken pho were very flavorful. The staff was very kind and we had a great time at the weho location.“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“
