“Amazing superb customer service! I would actually hope so for this space having limited seating.Note: if you feel like trying more than one main dish split it (ex:pho) and you’ll have a solid amount of food, they are not stingy about their splitsBanh mi was delish and packed high! They get their bun from a bakery in Los Angeles.Spicy garlic tofu bites were good. Their homemade chili oil was good too!Pho was solid just wish they had a different type of noodle and didn’t cut it up so much when splitting. The noodles were so short and they were hard to grab with the chopstickMetered parking on Montana and it’s right next to the dry cleaners near the cornerVegetarian options: They have options that’s just veggies onlyParking: Paid Street meter parking“
“2024 update: dined in for the first time and was underwhelmed with the food. Chickpea curry is decent, kaya toast is decent. The dan dan noodles are straight up not good! Extremely salty and fatty. Skipped dessert (unheard of for me) because the main dishes already made me feel so heavy and unhealthy.2022 takeout review: The laksa is incredible. It is easily two meals (can serve two people). I'm not a spice person and this was at the upper end of my spice tolerance but not too spicy. A side of clay oven bread is really good to dip in it. My only complaint was I ordered takeout and my order was ready 15 minutes later than the original estimate.“
“Heard about this place through a friend. Then read about it in the news paper and the story about the owners was intriguing. Many good restaurants in this area. BUT This has a gourmet feel and taste. Ordered crab rolls and by far best ever. A must when visiting our before they realize what a amazing deal for this dish ?. Wish I could give more stars.“
“Delicious food for any vegan or non-vegan in your party. We ordered a full meal family style and everyone enjoyed every selection. I'm not sure how they make their vegan SPAM better than the original, but it is. Everything also tastes super fresh and well seasoned. Enjoy!“
“BEST pad see ewe I've had in LA! I'm quite picky when it comes to Thai food. I'm one for authenticity when it comes to food in general. So I like to learn the history & stories behind the food, and the people the food represents. Very friendly & welcoming service. Bright, simple, and clean ambience. The fried mango-sticky rice rolls are an excellent and a quite ingenious version of the typical mango & sticky rice dessert! I also appreciated the check out process with their handheld device & they take Apple Pay. From the beginning as I entered I felt welcomed, again throughout the service was like being waited on by family, all smiles; and to the end of the meal, bows and smiles! 3 suggestions though: 1. The Thai tea could have been done with little less milk and more tea, and maybe offer other milk options like almond or soy milk, but it was still very flavorful and smooth! 2. I would like to see an upgrade in the glassware used for drinks like the Thai tea, hopefully in the near future. 3. Need better professional pictures up on Yelp. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical in trying this restaurant as I saw there were only 94 other reviews, yet it all averaged 5 stars! So I always make a point to try restaurants that possibly may have been overlooked or underrated. This place is definitely an authentic gem one all would enjoy! They actually deserve 10 stars I'll definitely be back again ;)“
“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“I stopped by with friends it was a pretty solid spot for pho and other delicious Vietnamese menu items.I had the avocado drink, spicy fried soft shell crab, “Lady’s on fire” Spicy Lo Mein Noodles, beef combo pho & braised marinated pork belly with egg & rice.The avocado drink was good but too much ice overall that you only get a small few gulps of the drink. The soft shell crab appetizer was phenomenal and my favorite dish of the bunch. Perfect flavor and cooked just right.The lady on fire was an excellent noodle dish. Flavor and spice was on point and it was cooked perfectly. The beef combo pho was also good, the meats were great and the broth was pretty good. A descent bowl of pho.The braised pork belly was good but I made the mistake of thinking it was going to be fried. It was still a solid dish, the sauce was delicious and sweet. The pork was very tender and flavorful.Customer service is great but sometimes it can get crowded and there might be some delays due to only a few working, but still a great dining experience.I’d definitely come back to this spot again to try their other menu items. Parking is valet only or street parking if available.“
“Must order: pork chop with rice, house special fried rice.I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the Valley, and this place has the best pork chop. It's so good. The rice plate comes with some veggies and a fish sauce dipping sauce. The house special fried rice has a lot of different meats including Chinese sausage! Delicious.It's a clean restaurant, plenty of tables, and very friendly service. Parking is free and easy. Closed on Tuesdays. Highly recommend this hidden gem.“
“I should have taken a picture before I started devouring my food. Got the bowl with brown rice, crispy tofu and pretty much all the toppings. Had the traditional Fish sauce and cilantro ginger sauce. It's delicious. I feel like there aren't a lot of options in this area and this is a great one! Something for everyone. The bowl is huge so I'll probably save the rest for dinner. Highly recommend if you're looking for something tasty and healthy-ish in a hurry!“
“Bun Me offers a satisfying dining experience with its flavorful Vietnamese pho noodles and other dishes.The ambiance is pleasant, and the staff is friendly and attentive. While the food was good, it didn't quite reach the level of excellence I was expecting. The pho broth lacked a bit of depth, and some dishes felt slightly underseasoned.However, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, Bun Me is a decent option for a tasty Vietnamese meal, but there's room for improvement to truly stand out.Sources are Self service.“
“Food was great. They have a weird charging thing though about extra meat (you don’t get much extra) there was a guy blasting music next to me. I couldn’t enjoy my date. As well as the server barely coming to ask if we want a refill(it’s tap water for people like me who HATE sink water) we had to like chase them down for the check. And that took forever to come. Good food and place, very homey and cozy, bad service.“
“I was in the area for work & placed a pick up order for a vegetarian banh mi. So good! And it was $10 which I think is a great price. Easily one of the most flavorful Banh Mi I’ve had in a long time. I loved the addition of enoki mushrooms, as most places only do tofu.“
“We have been going to this place since my daughter is 10yrs old. New owner upgrades the place looks so amazing, very clean and bright. The staff are very friendly, fast service and accurate taking orders. Food so delicious everything is fresh. Price very reasonable or I should say affordable. When we are lazy to prepare our dinner, just go straight to Bale Valley. I highly recommend Bale Valley to you all, those who been to this place 100% agreed with me.“
“I read about this place at another in internet article and finally got around to trying it today I had shredded chicken sandwich absolutely delicious the bread was crispy and tasty and the sandwich perfectly packed in and with different tastes then I'm used to from an Italian sandwich can't wait to go back“
“Really great pad see ew and good service. The soft drinks have free refills and come in huge glasses so that's a plus as well. The restaurant was quiet and the tables were a bit close together, so that wasn't ideal, but overall def worth it for the great food.“
“Absolutely incredible food! Their shrimp pho is both cheap, delicious, and is offered in huge portions! Their shrimp spring rolls are amazing too! The fried pork rolls are good as well, not too deep fried at all.Additionally, the service & atmosphere were both amazing as well!! We always receive our food less than 10 minutes after we sit down, and the restaurant is decorated beautifully!“
“Great food, service and atmosphere. I ordered egg rolls as an appetizer followed by extra large combination beef which was served across from me. I also ordered the beef pho with avocado smoothie that included bolba. Everything was delicious.“
“The staff is so kind and the food is absolutely amazing! Super affordable and they play good music. I will definitely be frequenting this place again. It’s a really feel good environment and the energy is great. Thank you guys so much ♡“
“Last year during the writers strike when I was working for Uber eats during the big storm, someone ordered pho from here all the way to Altadena. Now I know why. Their pho ga is usually good. It's tender. And the vibe is just really cool. The prices are fair for Hollywood, too. Seems to be a local favorite. Never too busy but there are always orders coming in and eat in couples drifting through.“
“Very unfortunate rating I have to give, because I actually enjoyed the pho. I originally ordered the oxtail pho, but after like 10 minutes found out they were sold out.The broth was nicely seasoned, not as clean/clear as I’d like though, the rib eye was okay, but there were not enough noodles. Anyway, I ordered shrimp egg rolls as well. I was almost done with my pho before they came out. Yet and still? They came out FROZEN! Not cold, or old, FROZEN!“
“We ordered, duck laab, beef laab, nam tok, banana leaf fish, beef noodle, sausage, papaya & skewers, they were all so delicious! We were so eager to eat, we didn't even take before photos. The lady taking our order was super nice as well.“
“I've been coming here for so long. This might be the best Vietnamese Sandwich shop in town. It's authentic Vietnamese for sure. They also bake their bread in-house and I've overhead other customers raving about it, sometimes coming in just to buy the bread! Also, try their Vietnamese coffee with your sandwich! I love that they sell other items at the counter in addition to their sandwiches; banh gio, cha lua, banh bot loc, just to name a few. In gacy, I'm craving their food as I'm writing this review! There is indoor seating available, parking is limited but it seems like most customers get their food to go so parking doesn't seem to be an issue.“
“Great food! We had food from Greenview Thai and had it Delivered. Fast delivery Drunken noodles with chicken - very good ! Pad see ew with chicken - very good Vegetable fried rice with tofu no egg - very good. I don't eat meat or eggs and a lot of places when they make Fried rice with no egg it tastes very dry and not good. Greenview made the best fried rice without egg I have ever had! I can't wait to go back. It was so good. Sorry no pictures ! We were really hungry and ate right away Thank you for the delicious food ! We will definitely be back again and again.“
“It was completely unexpected when I stepped in.A clean, bright and spacious restaurant with a slight sense of design.If you didn’t tell me, I thought it was an online beauty coffee shop.It’s rare to get hot soup in the United States.This Vietnamese pho restaurant is my go-to soup dish these days in the United States.The enhanced flavor of the nine-story pagoda and the high-quality beef,Paired with Q-bombed rice noodles, it’s really a perfect meal!And a bowl of beef sambal pho is less than US$20.Really thank God I can only give it a thumbs up!The roasted pork neck and spring rolls are also quite good.And it’s close to the Hollywood area,Definitely the best food choice while visiting tourist attractions!“
“Ordered the combination pho and my husband ordered the house pho. Combination pho broth was more spice flavored vs the house pho. Combination pho had too much stringy tripe for my liking. They give a lot of meat and noodles in the bowl and love that they don't skimp on the sliced onions. Definitely will come back for pho when in the area.“
“First time at this restaurant. Will be back!! The warm friendly greeting was welcoming and appreciated. I ordered the pork chop special. It was beyond delicious and plentiful. The flavors and dipping sauce was magical. Pork chops grilled to perfection. The casual atmosphere was intimate though spacious tables and a fun art wall as a focal point. It was a hot day so I was grateful for the ac keeping me cool while awaiting my food. Street parking is easy. Worth the stop if you enjoy tasty Vietnamese food prepared to perfection. Trust me! #happygirl“
“Vegetarian options: I really love this place it’s so amazing . I also love to eat noodles from this specific place . Owner is so nice and kind . Noodles and fried rice are so delicious. They have good vegetarian options too along with non vegetarian. That’s my favorite place for Chinese food . Love it ??“
“One of the best pho spots in West LA! Per recs, I got chef's special and it was LOADED with tender ribs and tendon. They gave us a free bun thit - which they made accidentally and it was SO delicious too! Definitely recommend ordering the egg rolls as an appetizer. Patio seating is nice alongside the street of Sawtelle. Service was great and checked in on us frequently.“
“This is my new favorite hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese food. They also have dishes that other Viet restaurants do not have on their menu. My daughter is a vegetarian and was beyond satisfied with the vegetarian Pho and eggrolls; which was the best I ever had.“
“I love this place.The food is delicious and the portions are generous.The seating and atmosphere are comfortable and the people who work there are kind and expedient.The prices are pretty fair and it's definitely a place you'd want to go back to for lunch or dinner.“
“I’m not sure why it took me this long to find out about this place, but they have the most authentic char koay teow you can find in Los Angeles! (As close as it can get without the one ingredient that is banned here) Their Hainan Chicken Rice and Mee Goreng is pretty spot on as well. If you are Malaysian/Singaporean living on the west side and has cravings for food from home, look no further!I wish they have more offerings like Roti Canai or Hokkien Mee but being an Asian fusion place half their offerings are western. I’ll take what I can get though!“
“We discovered this Noodle bar in January when I was down at UCLA for a minor surgery. Food was great then, so we stopped by for lunch last week. Food was great again.Totally recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a clean, quite meal with GREAT food....“
“I love this place and come here anytime I’m in the area and feeling Vietnamese food. Fast food preparation, and it is so fresh and delicious. I always get the shrimp pho with glass noodles and I love that they put in so many delicious veggies, including bok choy and different varieties of mushrooms. They also make their own sauces. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Almost all of the main dishes are gluten-free, and if you are sensitive to rice as well like I am, they offer the sweet potato glass noodle as an option for the pho, no extra charge“
“Nice new discovery, great service, nice dining room, clean and spacious.I had the shrimp spring rolls to start, lots of extra veggies on the plate, airy and light, the lettuce had a clean crisp crunch, and shrimp was delicious.The combination pho was large, the broth was rich and piping hot, lots of deep flavor, plenty of beef, tendon and tripe, swirling around with the noodles. Lots of extra condiments on the plate to add to your bowl.All in all, a wonderful dinner experience!!!Wheelchair accessibility: There's a small ramp into the restaurant.“
