My favorite Pho in LA. I’ve eaten the spicy pho there a good 20 times. Always fast and friendly service. Can’t go wrong.

We all the same idea on this cold day in LA. That idea was PHO! We were ok our way to our usual spot when we saw that jr was CLOSED! So i thought to myself no fear let me yelp! Seoul pho showed that it was .2 miles away from where we were. SAY LESS! We parked inside the California marketplace parking structure (free parking now!) and we saw a few people going the same way we were! Of course they were getting pho too!We went inside the top Terrace where indoor food court is and where Seoul pho is located. The line moved fast and the menu was simple enough i did order shrimp egg rolls i think that's what they were? Aside from my Beef pho!PORTIONS are 10/10 and so is the flavor! and on our cashier was very sweet. Well definitely return!

Had their classic pho for $12.99. Good size bowl and food is good. The noodle was somewhat over done and very soft and not chewy. The service was very good. If I'm back here in the California market building I might try it again.

Free Parking available in the garage. Self service is available but they are able to take your order. Portions are large! Spicy pho is very delicious. There is a lore of table seating available.

I came here on a breezy sunday evening for dinner. The food court on the top floor was not as busy as I thought it would be, but I've been intrigued of what Seoul Pho has to offer. I decided to opt for their classic pho with beef brisket. You also have the option to select between thick or thin noodles, so I opted for thick noodles. My order was less than $15 minutes and wait for approximately 7 minutes. The cashier hands you over a beeper, but it only works inside the food court. It was freezing outside, so I did not think twice to stay inside (it was much warmer) and sit closer at a table to their food stall. As I picked up my order, the soup was steaming and really warm. It came on a large metal bowl, similar to those used in bibimbap or naengmyeon. I got excited when they put chopped green onions instead of regular sliced onions. The green onions don't give an acidic kick, which I am fond of. They also provide a plate of bean spouts, cilantro and lime. The broth had an umami flavor and was not too salty. The beef brisket was thick, tender and cooked to perfection. I'm also a fan of their thick noodles that matched well with brisket's thickness. Surprisingly, I was able to finish the entire pho bowl and its ingredients. They do a return slot for trays on the left side of their stall. I'll be back again at Seoul Pho in case I'm craving their unique pho.

I enjoy their phos, although I can't come here often due to high price.

Located on the third floor, Seoul Pho is premium pho, not completely authentic but still very yummy. For $18 dollars I got the Seoul Pho that came with a nice, charred beef bone in the bowl. The broth was rich, though the flavor was not too clear. It feels more similar to Cambodian style than Vietnamese. We also ordered Spicy Shrimp Wontons, which were rich with shrimp flavor and nicely sauced. The staff was polite and eager to have us.

I ordered the pork egg rolls and was disappointed to find that it doesn’t come with lettuce or mint leaves to eat with - that is the traditional way to eat them. The photo on the menu shows the rolls with lettuce but the host said they don’t have any, false advertisement!!!!!!

I’ve never been in restaurants that don’t provide free cups of water. Weren’t really any sauces and staff was not particularly friendly. I expected more pho options at Seoul Pho but ordered pad Thai because there were no other pescatarian or vegetarian options((:The pad Thai tasted bitter as if the pan was too hot and burned the sauce and vegetables.

Bumping the review up to 5 stars. Nothing like you'd get in Westminster, but a clear champion in the area, with generous portions, comforting broth, quality noodles and meat, and tons of garlic if you want it. So many other pho places have tried and (deservedly) failed, but this one in a Ktown plaza pretty much delivers the goods.

Korean Pho fusion. The flavor is close the the traditional but it’s slightly off to my liking. The beef bone was average. The bowl size is deceiving.

Korean Pho fusion that blends the two flavors together. The bone broth is just average and slightly off to my liking. The taste is lighter than the traditional Vietnamese pho. The noodles are the thick and wide.

Finally came and did the legendary beef rib pho that I saw on youtube.It was amazing! really instagrammable also if you’re looking for a meal that shinesAlso had the jumbo shrimp nasi goreng - quite a kick already at regular spicefinished it off with a taro bbt, refreshing, but taro bbt’s always same level everywhere

Reading all the reviews i could understand where people may have been approaching but they completely missed the point of this place. This korean pho fusion restaurant includes the taste or korean broths while keeping a slightly vietnamese touch to it. The meet used is commonly in Seollangtang! After trying it, personally, i appreciated the flavors as I knew it wouldn't be the exact charred spice flavor of a vietnamese bowl of pho. They offered wide or thin noodles. I wish they offered siracha but i totally get there's a shortage right now!Parking was super easy since it was within the California Market!Personally I liked it as someone who prefers traditional pho over Seollangtang. Perfect balance for me!
