“Service was great and came out quick. The Thai tea was a10/10. The chicken in pho was a little over done but other than that really good. Also portion sizes were massive. I ate as much as I could and still had another big portion to take home. Would definitely come back to try other menu items. I love how they're open late too.“
“I love this place for the delicious sandwiches. You have the choice of either a freshly baked croissant or baguette for your sandwich. I love the Turkey Club on a croissant. They have a large variaty of European or Asian sandwiches. Everything is fresh and tastey. They also sell the amazing croissants snd baguettes to go.“
“Very nondescript restaurant, but the Phó is the best in LA. I was introduced to this place by a Vietnamese friend. I had Phó the first time cooked by another Vietnamese man. This is incredible! Steve's grandmother always said, "If you smell like Phó when you leave, it was good Phó!" Only place I go for Phó.“
“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 ;)“
“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.“
“Last time I had Pho for the first time was at a different location and it wasn't good at all. So I was skeptical to try it again at this spot but MAN WAS THIS PHO GOOD. I had the shrimp pho and it was so flavorful and soo good. We also had some crispy dumplings which were also pretty good ! Service was great, very nice people attending us and making sure our dinner time was going well. And the place was just so calm and relaxing. We got there an hour before closing time so there wasn't as many people, which made the experience so much better. After this redeeming experience, I will definitely be coming back ! I 10/10 recommend this place :)“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Best Banh Mi sandwich in the valley phosure! The way it is supposed to be made, butter and pate with amazing pickled veggies. Throw some soy sauce on the bread and you are transported back to your childhood eating these sandwiches! Cant wait to try them all!“
“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 ♡“
“This vietnamiese restraunt has lots of delicious food and the presentation of the food is just fantastic! I would highly reccomend the vermicelli bowl and please try their Thai tea! Probably the best Thai tea I ever had ☺️Vegetarian options: Salad rolls , mango sticky rice“
“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!“
“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 ??“
“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.“
“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.“
“I am an Asian food fanatic and am pretty picky about foods and this place did NOT disappoint. We got the Saigon Porkchop which was a 12/10!! We also had the beef salad appetizer that I can’t recommend ENOUGH! Our server was so nice and relatable and Janet was so kind and friendly. We’re just visiting LA and the only downside is that we won’t have this restaurant back home :,). Planning on coming back here before we leave. PLEASE COME HERE !! - I also have never written a review about a restaurant before but this place made me want to IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR THE BEST SERVICE AND FOOD !!“
“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.“
“If you want delicious pho in a HUGE quantity, then Pho So 1 is the place to go. Im not sure if there's parking behind the store as it's located on a busy street. Every time I've come here, I've been lucky to find street parking (metered).The prices here are great. I like to call them "inflation busters" because they didn't exorbitantly raise them like other restaurants. For that reason, it remains a staple in the valley and a strong competitor to other chains in the area. The broth is delicious and the meat portions are generous. I always come here when I'm craving pho.There's a 3% service charge if you plan to pay by credit card, no minimum, if that's something that you need to know.Haven't dined in the location since I always order takeout but it is always busy during dinner time, which I always attribute to really great quality.(7/50--2024)“
“Been a few years since we've been here and they've modernize the place. Menu got an update as well. I got #1-pho special and my husband got #4 also pho ? still delicious, we both almost emptied the huge bowl but the broth towards the end felt too salty, still as good as I remembered it and price is somewhat affordable compared to other places6 years ago:Love their pho, my husband love their #51. Portions are big for the pho and I'm always full, satisfied and happy after consuming the big bowl of noodles and broth.Very occasionally I order the porridge with ofalls and deep fried bread - just hit the spot for me. Prices are still affordable even though they've raised a little. Everyone that I brought to this place enjoys their food. It's a very simple restaurant, nothing fancy and get very crowded during meal times.“
