Excellent food. Had the vegan noodle bowl. Outstanding.
Delicious clean wonderful Vietnamese food! Reasonably priced, great service, perfect lunch place, even though we actually came for dinner and it was super nice. Definitely will be back. ?? ??
i thought it was bean sprout forward. Until I realized my fiancée ordered no noodles. She thought I did not like noodles but really I have a gluten intolerance. I love rice noodles. Herbs fresh. Broth restorative. She liked the chicken pho and I recommend the beef pho that is new to the menu.
Our party of three was exhausted from a long drive, and since this was almost across the street from our hotel, we decided to make a very early night of it and eat there. 4:45 pm, restaurant was pretty deserted - super clean, waiter masked, lighting ambient but enough for the oldest among us to read the menu easily.Our waiter was great. Helpful, knowledgeable, funny in a charming way (not overdoing it to being annoying). He was there when we needed him and stayed away otherwise. One thing I particularly liked was that he waited until one of us had finished speaking before asking if we needed anything else.The vegan pho was excellent; tons of vegetables, good broth. The jicama fresh rolls appetizer, also excellent - and I don't know what they do with their peanut sauce but it was head and shoulders above what most Vietnamese restaurants serve. I had Pho Ga (chicken), which is often hard to find. The broth could have used a bit more anise and been a little stronger over-all, but otherwise it was very good. Chicken was clean-tasting, without that undercurrent of really cheap meat you sometimes get in soups. I asked for extra vegetables and got a heaping platter of bean sprouts and basil on the side - no charge. Ginger tea was slightly sweet, delicious, as was the jasmine tea.If I had one criticism, it would be that the noodles, which were flat, were over-cooked. Another few minutes and they'd be falling apart. However, all in all I'd highly recommend this. No, you're not going to get "Omigod this is the best pho ever". You are going to get a good, filling meal that will leave you very satisfied.
Had the turmeric fish sandwich. Very tasty!!! A lot ofbanh mi sandwiches are mostly bread but this was mostly the ingredients. My fiancee had the veggie pho with chicken broth. Hit the spot!
Clean, even stylish. Ordered beef pho. Food was cooked appropriately, although flavors were weak. Not really authentic pho, I guess it's modern approach but so much so that it hardly resembled pho at all. We should have known when we approached the storefront Friday night that the sparse crowd would be a good indicator of the quality of vietnamese pho this place would deliver. Beside the food being a bit bland, there was also egregiously long periods of time we were waiting for the server despite there only being maybe three tables being waited on in the entire restaurant. Bit of a disappointment in general. Hope they make some changes that make me want to give them another try.
Very friendly staff, super fresh and organic ingredients, pho/noodles and salad rolls.
Noodles are good but the broth is just okay. $20 for pho seems way overpriced when you can get better for $5 elsewhere. Save your money, it's santa monica
Yummy noodles ? ?
We started with the chicken cabbage salad and it was very fresh and tasty. I had a wonderful chicken pho and was happily served the basil and sprouts I requested. My husband had the two types of beef in his pho and said it was very good. We'll be back!
