“I ordered the pork eggrolls to go. They were so very good, crispy and meaty. the service was extremely friendly! I appreciate the quick pickup time and yet my order was still super fresh tasting. The restaurant is gorgeous, absolutely perfect for date night, yet also very reasonably priced. Great job!“
“This is everything a Vietnamese sandwich shop should be. #1 or #3, iced coffee, a produce box on top of a milk crate for seating, and soap operas on the tele. It's a food stall. Nothing more, nothing less. Walked out of there with 3 Bahn Mis, iced coffee, and a soda for $25 (not including tip; don't forget to tip). Actually, I walked out without anything because...soaps operas. Just left with a memory of what I wish I had at home“
“I had been hearing a lot of good things about the food here so I finally made my way into Silverlake to check it out. As you are probably already aware, this is a take out or delivery restaurant. You cannot dine in here. You actually can't even enter the building. The front door is a two piece door and when they are open for business, the top part of the door will be open. You order from there and then wait on the sidewalk for your order to be ready. You can also call in an order in advance or use various delivery services. There was not anyone waiting to order when I got there so I was able to walk directly up to the door and immediately order. I had to wait approximately 10 minutes for my order to be prepared and in those 10 minutes they got very busy. Six people came up to pickup phone or delivery orders during that time and those pickups went very quickly. A line began to form to order during that time and when I left with my order there were 5 other people who had placed others and were now waiting for their orders to be prepared and an additional 7 other people waiting in line to place orders. They prepare their food quickly but keep in mind, they need to cook the food after you place your order. If there is already a line to place your order and people waiting for their food to finish cooking, all of that will add to the amount of time it will take before your order has been prepared. If you are in a hurry and need your order quickly, perhaps you should consider another restaurant such as a fast food restaurant. They do prepare the food as quickly as they can but keep in mind, you will wait approximately 5 to 10 minutes at a minimum and the more people you see standing around out front will add to that wait time. Is it worth the wait? Oh yes, it is worth it. I had the popcorn chicken, Summer Rolls and the Caramelized Pork. The Popcorn chicken and its dipping sauce was a real treat for the taste buds. The chicken is double fried but is not dry on the inside and the dipping sauce has the perfect bite of spices to it. The summer rolls are huge. Your choice of protein or vegetables only. They really could be a meal within themselves and the vegetables were very fresh with lots of vegetable crunch in every bite. The Caramelized Pork came with sticky rice and cooked with hard boiled eggs. It was as good as it sounds (which is very good). The portion sizes were very good with my order easily being enough for two people with some leftovers. Truly, the summer rolls are so large that you cannot help but have leftovers. Parking can be very tricky here. There are yellow painted loading zones in front of the restaurant and the mom & pop grocery store next door so if you are just picking up an order that had already been placed, you shouldn't have a problem. You may find yourself desperately looking for a place to park though. Keep that in mind but don't let that scare you off. You will be thankful for the effort you put in when you are finally home and enjoying the fruits of your troubles. BTW, I hear that their Bahn Mi sandwiches are so good. I look forward to trying that next time.“
“My go-to spot in Chinatown Los Angeles for Pho!Very quick prompt service.This place tends to get filled with hungry, happy customers pretty rapidly.Don't worry, just tell them your party size and they'll get to you sooner rather than later. IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT! With quick service, you'll be seated in no time.I've been coming here since, like 2012.There is street parking and some parking lots around. So you have the luxury of choosing your perfered parking. Basically, there's free parking and paid parking all around the restaurant.Treat your stuff to some amazing Pho, and lasty, don't forget about the spring rolls with peanut sauce for appetizers !My girlfriend is vegetarian, so she ordered #22 on the menu: vegetarian tofu with rice noodles or egg noodles. Size small or regularI ordered the #15: well done brisket, fatty brisket, tendon, and tripe. Size largeWe prefer to get the rice noodles!Vegetarian options: #22 on the menu is vegetarian tofu with rice noodle or egg noodle Pho“
“I come here WHENEVER I can. The food is soooooo delicious and fresh. Completely made to order so its steaming hot when you get it. My favorite dishes are of course the shrimp but also the lemongrass fish. I've legit ordered this around 20 times. There freshly made juices are also a must, I always get the jade juice when I come, it is such a refreshing treat, well worth the price. If your looking for a nice vegan restaurant don't hesitate to come here.“
“Wow such a delicious Vietnamese restaurant!!We found street parking ($5) but I believe there is a lot nearby which is $5 for all day.We ordered the-Vietnamese coffee (tasty and less ice so I appreciated that a lot)-Pho (so good and not a lot of MSG and clean broth)-Chicken banh mi (delicious and fresh)-Vermicelli noodles with carrots, cucumbers, and other delicious toppings! So filling and healthy!The lady is very nice and we enjoyed our meal immensely!“
“We wanted something healthy but flavorful for dinner and happened upon this place in the neighborhood, pretty no frills on the inside. Clearly a big focus on deliveries, but there's plenty of tables. We each got a steak banh mi and WOW was it good! So much flavor, and the bread was perfect; hard enough to hold it together, but easy to bite into. The crispy spring rolls were perfect as well, clearly freshly made and decently sized. We also split some noodles and were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. Definitely will be back.“
“We almost drove right by the restaurant because there was no sign, but fortunately we found our way in to the cozy bungalow dining room. We ordered the turmeric fish hotpot which was full of flavor with crispy rice and soft flavor fish that was amazing. Everything else we ordered did not disappoint--the watercress salad with beef was fresh and tender, steamed rice cakes with shredded shrimp and taro root crispy rolls were unique spins on traditional dishes that were really shareable and delicious. Definitely will come back!“
“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 ;)“
“This is officially my favorite pho spot! Went about four times in a span of two weeks, and took my best friend for his first ever time trying this food! He loved it! And he's super picky, so I know it must've been really good lolThe place is really small and cute, and service has always been great, only once I went in, and was told oh, sit wherever you want, and then, when I did, they moved me to a smaller table, because the bigger tables were for big groups only, but then a group of two walked in when we were still there, they sat them in the same table we had attempted to sit, so that wasn't that great, but I don't want to put the blame on the location, because again the food is great and every other time I've gone to service has been amazing. Will definitely be returning soon.“
“This place is amazing. Food is great, service is top notch the only complaint I have is the plastic dividers. But I understand that’s required in restaurants now. They’re a bit too close to your seat.Spring rolls. Are frrrresh!Pho is Hot as advertised and affordable. Good prices! Fresh ingredients!Highly recommend the ban mi.“
“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 :)“
“We were a party of three. Place was not too busy. Our food came out great. Here is what I got. Classic pho soup and an order of wings. The wings did not disappoint. It would have been nice to have been checked on more throughout our meal. We had to flag down our server. Would definitely come back in the future.Parking: I found a valet attendant at the back of the building. He said he does not make an hourly wage, just off of tips. I gave that man $10.Kid-friendliness: I saw a family in here so there was that.“
“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 love this place so much!! The prices are reasonable. You can make your pho a large for a small price. The fried shrimp egg rolls came out hot and fresh.FYI - they put the rare steak into the pho rather than on the side. If you want your meat rare then ask for it on the side.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We were told the chilis would be on the side, they were not. He should have just left them off. They were very, very hot. The server didn't check in on us until the end. The food is great so we didn't mind not talking to one another.“
“Literally, my sister and I have been on a pho binge and we got to try château lemongrass on Friday night. We arrived around 8 PM and there was plenty of seating available. We are promptly served and we were able to order the vegetable pho and the rare steak pho. I thought the pho was very good and the soup was very flavorful. Lots of street parking is available and they also have outdoor seating as well.“
“Downtown LA Pho stands out as the perfect spot if you crave authentic Vietnamese Pho right in the heart of the financial district of DTLA. The pho and soup base boast delightful flavors. The staff is exceptionally friendly, providing great service, and the portion sizes are satisfying. However, it's crucial to manage expectations and avoid comparing the food here to the offerings in San Gabriel Valley or Little Saigon area. -1 star for the pricing, but considering the prime location and convenience, it's understandable. I'll certainly return when in the financial district of DTLA and in the mood for Pho.Quick tip: You can find Downtown LA Pho inside the City National Plaza's food court, located on the bottom floor of the plaza.“
“Best Pho in LA. Get the meat raw, the broth will cook it - super high-quality meat, a huge portion of fantastic tasting broth and fresh basil and bean sprouts.Thai tea is also fantastic.The people working there are super helpful and kind too!And the prices are great too - dining room could use a little work but it’s great if you got stuff to go!“
“This order was delivered by GrubHub and was delivered in appropriate time.The flavor of the pho broth was a little underwhelming and left me wanting a stronger taste. The restaurant does take the time to create an authentic broth but may cut the time short, leading to a lighter flavor. Since the broth can easily make or break a good bowl of Pho, this broth is 4 out of 5 stars, which is great for a regular location. While it's not the best in the area, it still has decent flavor. The chicken was a little chewy and did not soften after sitting in the broth for a while. The freshness of the chicken is questionable. As a frequent pho enthusiast, I was disappointed that this restaurant did not offer spring rolls, which is my go-to appetizer when judging a pho restaurant. This time I opted for the fried egg rolls and I was not impressed with the texture or flavor. Everything in the egg roll tasted old and lacked a desirable flavor.The pho broth container and the chicken &noodles container were both of good quality, as there were no spills in the bag, and kept everything warm during delivery. However, the pho ingredients and the egg rolls were delivered in Styrofoam packaging which is environmentally irresponsible. As seen in the pictures, the container with the egg rolls was either cut or melted in an unusual way. I suspect the restaurant cut the box to allow for venting and to prevent melting. Getting rid of the Styrofoam containers would yield a higher service rating.Overall, not too bad. I'd visit this restaurant again if I'm in the area.“
“Delicious pho - the pho dac biet is perfect. Really clean tasting broth, bright and refreshing. Healthy serving of sides for the pho. Great viet iced coffee. All of the meats in the combination pho are good quality, including the tendon and tripe.All in all it's everything a pho joint should be - fast service, great food, good prices.“
“Than Huu makes an excellent Bahn Mi. The baguette is perfect, the ingredients are simple and fresh and there are basically two items on the menu. Bahn Mi and soup; the do have a drink and tea menu as well. The service is very kind, friendly and gracious. Than Huu does have little stools and tables in the middle of an asian bazaar in Chinatown.“
“Dining in is a pleasant, tasty experience and take out is just as good. The vegetarian pho is both light and filling and the egg rolls are a delight. Friendly staff, great pho.Dietary restrictions: I went with a friend with a gluten intolerance and the staff was very careful to provide a safe option for his meal.“
“It’s a simple pho restaurant with neat interior.The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn’t anything special… the server wasn’t mean but not nice either.I don’t know, it was good but nothing special…Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it’s close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.Parking: $3 in 2023“
“I came to this place with my friend today, and I absolutely loved it. The beef noodle pho was so comforting and the portion size was amazing. The ladies were super sweet. every dish we got was so flavorful and delicious even the drinks! I would totally come back here if I’m back in LA.“
“I have eaten the pho here twice and have been impressed both times. The food is fresh, delicious and the portion is good. This is one of my favorite pho places in this area. They are never too crowed when I visit for lunch and the atmosphere is wonderful. It is privately owned and the service is great! Definitely recommended!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 ??“
“At Vui Vu, the heart of their pho lies in their delicious broth. While many establishments in town falter with their attempts at authentic pho broth, Vui Vu stands out with its rich, flavorful rendition that truly anchors the entire dining experience. Every spoonful reveals a depth of flavor that speaks to their dedication and expertise. The accompanying side ingredients, fresh and vibrant, serve as perfect complements, harmonizing with the broth to create a symphony of taste.Their spring rolls are a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. Each roll boasts a satisfying crunch, hinting at the freshness of the ingredients within. But it's the peanut sauce, with its balanced flavors and creamy texture, that elevates the rolls from good to exceptional. It's the kind of dish that lingers in your memory, urging you to return for just one more bite.Beyond the culinary delights, Vui Vu also excels in customer experience. My order, delivered seamlessly by GrubHub, arrived punctually and in good condition. A special nod to their eco-friendly packaging, which not only underscores their commitment to sustainability but also ensures that the food reaches you without any unfortunate leaks or mishaps. In an age where attention to detail can set a restaurant apart, Vui Vu demonstrates excellence at every turn, making it a must-visit for pho enthusiasts and food lovers alike.“
“Tasty Banh Mis. I always get the sardine along with either the pork or chicken. All made fresh to order. They include a small au jus of the specific Banh Mi you order-nice touch. ? Parking is a challenge since it right on Hyperion so if you see a spot, take it.“
“Great place to get your essential dose of Pho. Delicious broth, cool nostalgic environment inside, audio cassettes as menus.Lots of daylight and good vibes inside. Located perfectly so you can visit The Academy Museum/LACMA or other fun stuff that is in the area.“
“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“
“This place is absolutely legit and delicious!! From Pho, Bun, and to Bahnmi, everything is delicious! Even the rice plate!! I haven’t had a bad meal at Ktown Pho, ever!! Don’t sleep on the bahn-mi. They use real pork belly but it kinda tastes like 족발. Only place in town to get it. Run and eat here. You can thank me later!❤️❤️❤️❤️????“
“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.“
“Nice and cool temperature inside, the food was delicious and soemthing totally different than what I would ever eat. Nice sour flavor, got it with the combo of meats, comes with rice and I didnt know how spicy it was until I ate 3 green chilis I thought looked like string beans. Man, was I coughing for a good min. The food was filling though, portion was perfect. Best way to spend the evening out with the gf.“
“Got pulled in by this place as I was walking by and thank gawd I did!! What a dope little spot, top notch vietnamese cuisine and the staff is so great - Melissa is a gem! For the plant-based homies, they have an extra menu just for us! So happy I had a dentist appointment next door, Gingergrass just became a regular in the rotation.Vegetarian options: Everything is great!Dietary restrictions: Great for plant-based options!!“
“In my opinion, this is the best bowl of pho I've had in LA and I've tried them all. I think the reason I'm giving this business four stars has to do with both the ambience and the selections on the menu. For starters, they do not offer other traditional Vietnamese dishes, like spring rolls, or bun. It seems that it is very limited to Pho and some fried options. The ambience was very bright, and the music was a bit loud for my taste. I like something a little bit more subdued, but I understand that I'm being a bit picky. But the actual Pho itself? Unbelievably flavorful. Another complaint, they do not offer the nuc bro which is traditionally available at every pho place I've ever been to. On the plus side, they have what it is almost a salad bar type, set up where you can grab the sides for the Pho that you want: lime slices, basil, bean, sprouts, jalapeño slices, and onions. This is perfect for me because I like to have a little more basil and onion, but I don't care for the jalapeño and that way none gets wasted on me. If you're only interested in getting a bowl of pho, you are in the right place. I will be back here again for sure.“
“Parking Small but you can find parking in the lot. Take note that this parking slots are super small. I take my smaller car when coming here because I don't want my car to get dinged. Food Yellow curry with rice is delicious. What I like about this place is that things aren't greasy here and you can taste the freshness. I like the crab Rangoon an appetizer. Dunken noodles is a popular item here and it's tasty. I honestly haven't tried anything here that isn't flavorful. The pad Thai is also good, Drinks If you like Thai tea, try the Thai lemonade, it's surprisingly good, They sell soft drinks in the can.“
“We went to Blossom in search of good pho since the place we usually go was closed. They did not disappoint! I ordered the vegetarian pho which had a super delicious broth with a pleasant ginger flavor. The tofu and veggies were good we well. Blossom is located in a historic square in Chinatown that should not be missed. Great ambiance and the staff were friendly. I highly recommend.“
“The food was good. First time coming into the restaurant and what I liked was the cashier guided me through the menu. He was very helpful. Even after I told him I couldn’t eat too much because I knew I was going to feel sleepy, he gave me a try of their in house coffee. It was goood by the way! He made my experience excellent! Great energy.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp into the corner eating areas and restaurants“
“My wife and I came here to grab lunch. We haven't been here since 2019 when we first started dating and I wanted to try it again. There parking everywhere in Burbank like the street, parking lot or structure. When we walked in, we were seated right away and given a menu. I already knew what I wanted and it was the same for my wife but it took a while to get the waiter to come back to take our order. I got the Filet Mignon pho and upgraded to a large. My wife for their chicken pho, chicken spring rolls and Vietnamese iced coffee. It took a while for our pho to come out, the spring rolls came out first and we thought it was alright. Usually at other pho places, it come out quick but it took like 10 minutes to come out. They also brought someone else's order to our table and I told them we didn't order it. When my Filet Mignon pho came, the noodles were all stuck together like a ball and the meat was already cooked. It seem like upgrading to a large bowl just means more water because I compared it to my wife chicken pho place and it was about the same a lot of noodles. My wife thought her chicken pho was alright but the chicken was already overcooked. She also thought the Vietnamese iced coffee was too strong so we asked for more condensed milk which helped a little. This wouldn't be our go to pho place because we prefer another place more.Vegetarian options: They have some non meat dish on their menuParking: There a lot of parking around burbank near the restrauantKid-friendliness: This place is kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible and has a ramp inside.“
