Visiting a friend and he was under the weather and was craving Pho. He recommended Pho Hai in El Monte.
The broth is rich, flavorful and authentic. Portions are generous—perfect for a hearty meal. Walked away feeling much better. Family-owned and operated. Service was warm and attentive. Please support small business.

One of the few places in the LA area that offer fresh pho. The food was very good and came out very quickly. We ask to swap out the regular pho noodle with fresh pho noodle and the restaurant was very accommodating. This place is now the go to place for pho if we don’t want to go far to OC area. Definitely recommend if you like fresh pho noodle!

One of the best pho in the entire region and there are a handful of boba stores all over Garvey in South El Monte. There are probably like a little over 50+ options for boba in South El Monte and my favorite combination in getting pho here and then getting 7Leaves down the street. South El Monte is a community with some of the best world-class boba outside of Taiwan. I was telling my friends in Tokyo about the wonderful community of South El Monte filled with Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Hong Kong, and the most hidden gem food scene outside of Asia. I do wish Pho Hai would add boba drinks to their menu. They do serve Vietnamese Che however since there is also like 20+ other Vietnamese Che options in the city, I often find myself getting Bake&Che or other places instead.

Good Vietnamese food. The food portion is good and has a great taste. Better than most Vietnamese restaurants in that area.
I had a decent visit to this place for a quick bite on the way home. Upon entering around 6pm, first thing I noticed was, where is everyone? I thought it was closed, all the chairs were on top of the tables upside-down except for the booths.
Young lady greeted me, very cordial. I ordered and paid up front for my meal and smoothie.
When food came out, it was visually mediocre. I ordered barbeque pork with egg cake and rice dish. My meat had 80% fat on it and not cooked all the way, the fish sauce was not made properly as it tasted very generic. Vegetables seem old to the taste so I didn't finish my meal. The smoothie(avocado) was the only thing done right, not too sugary or ice chunks inside. I left feeling not satisfied with overall experience.
I still would go there but i would order something else, give another try. Definitely order the smoothie again!

Ahhhhh ahhhh AHHHHH!
I've found my pho place finally in SGV!!! I frequent Vinh Ky in Garden Grove and I have been on the hunt for the same decadent bowl of pho rhat is closer to me in SGV. Holy Jeebus! I found it and I cant believe it has always been close tk me all along.
Great service & great food! Their chili oil is self serve and very good! Their Che desserts are not bad, too.
The only thing that was lacking is the amount of mint/basil that they serve with their bowls, but I understand since a lot of people dont use them but Im one of those people that wanr to see all green on my bowl. But no sweat, I just asked for more!!
Thanks Pho Hai, I will be back!
Update: Have went back multiple times, still the same goodsies and servsies. Still happy+!
