FYI cash only I ate the food I ordered because we’re hungry that’s only reason! No more going back to this place!

This is definitely a local favorite for me. It’s a nice small family owned Vietnamese restaurant that serves tasty food that I constantly order takeout from and the staff is very sweet.

Tacos were delicious but the hot sauce sucks. The girl in front was very helpful and nice thank you all.

We found this spot by accident. Our regular place was closed. Not a fancy place at all. And to be honest does not smell the greatest. But it gets a hi star here so we have it a try. There is a sense of authenticity about this place. It feels like almost as if you are at Saigon by itself. Would be great movie set including the staff working there. FOOD : smells great ( unlike the restaurant itself ) Good portion .it was delicious. Made to order . Overall we liked the quality of the foods as well as quantity of it . I'd eat there again.

A typical pho establishment. Parking lot is a bit smaller but I easily found parking since it was an early Monday lunch. Inside there's 9 x 4 people tables. They keep the doors open and a fan near the register on but don't use the air curtain so flies get inside. It was annoying to have to keep swatting at flies. Portion size is pretty big. The bun comes in the same bowl as the pho so it was enough for 1.5 meals for me. The pho came with the freshest basil I've seen in a while. I was shocked . I thought the pho was just okay but my boyfriend liked it. I appreciate that there's many sauce options at the table (knorr liquid seasoning aka liquid msg, fish sauce, Sriracha, hoisin sauce, garlic chili sauce). We were given complimentary iced green tea instead of water which is a plus to me.

Good flavors, bun mam and pho soup was on point.

My family ordered a variety of different dishes to try out. We got Pho, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Mam, and Yang Chow Fried Rice. After the meal, everyone agreed that Bun Mam and Fried Rice stand out among the others. Personally, I liked the fried rice the most. Everything else was ok. Maybe because I live in OC, where a lot of restaurants can definitely nail these dishes. But I would recommend trying this place's fried rice. It was delicious with some soy sauce added. The owner was also very nice and friendly.

One of the only pho places near my house so I been going here for years despite their horrible service. I find myself making excuses for Asian owners and employees for being rude because I'm use to it. However, just because I'm use to it doesn't mean it's ok or I should continue to support such a business. Today was the grand finale. Every time I come here they would always snatch the menu from my hand and stare me down to make a decision as if they are always in a hurry even though the restaurant is always empty. They recently updated their menu so I ordered a "new" item. Gave me the wrong order then said the menu is incorrect after I inquired. The owner right there in front of me called someone and started yelling in Vietnamese presumably about the mistake he or she made on the menu. Refused to honor what I ordered from their new menu and charged me an an extra $5 for a total of $14 for something listed on their menu for $9. I will no longer support a business that does not appreciate my hard earned money. Especially, if Im a regular.

Everyone's came in order Bun Mam; and I have a craving for it. Normally I have to go all the way to orange county to eat this. It's not a good location, and the rent probably cheap. It's the only Bun Mam in San Gabriel. The flavor was not deep, and the topping was skimpy for the price.

I have been to this place a couple times. I like their soup. Never question the bill until yestesday. I asked the price of the items before I order to make sure i have enough money. The owner charged me $9 dollars over. I pointed out to her. She seems upset and no apology. I also realize she had overcharged me last time I been there. I will never go back there again. So dishonest!!
