“Decent Vietnamese. Portions were smaller than other Vietnamese places, and many of the sauces such as the Nuoc Cham for the Bun Bowl and Peanut sauce for Spring Rolls, were weak and watered down. Would come here again, but hope they can improve these things.“
“Tried it last night for the first time. Takeout. The pho was delicious. My only complaint is that the spring rolls were wrapped tightly in plastic and I bit into the plastic since it’s hard to tell they’re wrapped. My poor husband had never had them before and he actually ate the plastic! He said that’s just how he thought they were. Please don’t wrap them! Or at least let customers know!“
“I was a little dubious about our waitress at first, but she warmed up and was great! I love this little hidden gem in the Redondo beach Riviera. Happy hour is a great time to taste some of the bites. They're much less expensive, and the cocktails are a bargain. Our only challenge with the evening was the outside hostess, who seemed more concerned with her phone than greeting people with a warm smile and welcome. That was all laid aside as we walked over the threshold, and had a delicious meal. support this lovely Little Sister because it's a great restaurant!  “
“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“
“This was the last place my husband and I visited while in LA. Because of the location I was scared the food was going to be trash or that the restaurant would be so nasty that I wouldn’t want to eat there. However, this place was a pleasant surprise! Yes, it was a little rundown and outside there was a lot of garbage and old furniture but inside was clean although it was older, it was still very clean. The food was absolutely delicious! This is one of those those places that I wish that we had in my hotel. It’s a little mom and pop hole in the wall spot but their food packs of mighty punch and the service does too! The staff was very sweet and accommodating. If you’re in LA or nearby, I would definitely recommend for a good pho“
“Got lucky today after arriving at LAX. On our way home we found this spot! Yelp gave 4.5 stars. Absolutely delighted with my experience at this pho restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that left my taste buds in awe. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming touch of traditional music, creating a delightful atmosphere. What truly stood out was the exceptional service - always delivered with a genuine smile. A 5-star gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience!“
“Best Pho and many dishes to enjoy. Big dining lounge but fills up really fast during lunchtime. All your food is fresh and cook to order coming out piping hot. You can upgrade your Pho soup to XL bowl, which I recommended if you're a big and hungry guy like me or a woman. I usually get their spring rolls and egg rolls that are made to order and fresh with peanut sauce. Great Pho soup for the price with fast service and great tasting Vietnamese food.“
“Cash only. Busy lunch location for the area. Standard menu items that cover rice to noodles, a big menu for a small mom and pop shop. Small parking lot can get hard to get out of during rush hour. Maybe easier to park on the street instead.“
“Been here a few times, have ordered the pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, and a rice plate. I can easily recommend any of these items! My favorite so far has been the combo vermicelli where you can pick two proteins. If you're looking for your pho fix, this is the spot.“
“Came here for late lunch and it never disappoints. Thank you for your great service broth is so tasty this my pho spot ✨⚡️You can have conversation here music is only in the background. Theres a tv so when i come alone ill just watch tv.The mister that works here is humble and super sweet. Prices are affordable. They also do takeout!“
“Love the shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. My daughter loves the pho and my husband likes his grilled pork and rice. We were able to dine in at 11pm. Glad we were able to make it, esp after arriving from a transatlantic flight. Thank you for the good food.Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair and kiddie utensils that came with a scissor.“
“Overall it’s good and average pho ? for neighborhood restaurant. Meat was surprisingly better tasting than from the looks. broth was good and average. Noodles were the weakest and just basic. The service was friendly and great. Price is high but for local area pricing it is fair or slighter cheaper than average in the area.“
“First timer here. Huge portion sizes, good prices, and they offer more meats compared to other pho spots. The to go bowl is HUGE. You’re eating straight from a bowl vs a styrofoam container you usually get from other pho spots. That’s a huge plus for me. I will be coming back ??“
“Food was decent my husband found this place when our normal spot was being renovated.Side note those side Tiger Shrimp’s are Great!Definitely a good back up option the staff was friendly.Restaurant was clean and had nice Christian music playing.“
“it’s a very cozy spot. lots of older people enjoying traditional vietnamese. i didn’t try to the coffee bc i came after work but it seems to be very popular. i got the # 3 pho & the #1 appetizer it was SO FIRE seriously. so grateful for this place will be “
“This place has grown on me a lot. It's overpriced when considering some of their dishes like spring rolls aren't really that much more elevated compared to traditional Vietnamese restaurants. However, their seafood dishes are certainly worth the money. I recommend the salt and pepper lobster, seafood curry, black rice, and sticky rice. You can get your pho, banh mi, and garlic noodles elsewhere. Shaky shaky beef, banh xeo, and rice paper rolls are also dependable options.“
“The people are really nice ! I got my brother a gift certificate which he enjoyed . I was surprise about that but it’s all good . I go quite often with my nephew and nieces they love the mango smoothie. For me tho I enjoy the lee’s ice coffee .Kid-friendliness: Nieces enjoy drinking their mango smoothies inside.Parking: There’s a big parking lot shared with other shops“
“I’ve go to this restaurant at least once a month. Everything on the menu is good. My favorite is the brisket Pho, pork egg rolls, shrimp rice wraps, chowmein and the hot jasmine tea. The hot tea is loose leaf, served in a lil tea pot. So you may pour yourself as you go. They will give you a to go cup for what’s left as well. All the condiments are on the tables already included the chop sticks and straws. They have fountain drinks and drinks in the refrigerator for you to choose. My favorite is the jarrito guava or the parrot guava. They also have glass bottles YooHoo and snacks like chips and chocolate bars at the front. The place is good for kids. My daughter enjoys the quiet ambience and the seating fits your party comfortably. The owner Steve and his wife are amazing nice people. The parking is ample as well. My favorite restaurant overall especially for taking my toddler.“
“I ordered the shrimp rice bowl and the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was nice and juice, my kid loved it. I didn't realize the shrimp wasn't deveined or deshelled, and it was slightly overcooked. I craved more of the pickled carrots and I believe if they added pickles onions it would set it off for real for real. The meal as a whole was good though.“
“Haven't been to a Lee's in years and it's actually a pretty decent chain for what it is. Just a quick and cheap banh mi and a lot of other options that'll do the job in a pinch.We stopped by really early in the morning before a flight and it was short and sweet. We also grabbed some pastries too and they were very hot and yummy. It's not the cheapest in town but it's still worth it.“
“Excited about finding new Pho spot in Torrance. Brought my daughter here since she wanted a new Pho joint and she really liked it so did I :) Will certainly frequent this location and tell others about itKid-friendliness: My child really likes the food and the ambiance is kid friendly as well“
“The small portion was really good, I had trouble finishing it! Also tasted AMAZING! And only for 11.50 which is not bad. The chili oil goes so well with the noodle and the brown sweet sauce (idk what its called) goes great to dip your beef. Overall will be coming back often, amazing taste and price! ? + staff is super nice“
“Was super craving pho on a rainy Wednesday night so decided to take a trip to bamboo song. Pricing is reasonable my combo pho was $15~ excluding tips. It was a comfort meal, delicious and filling. I don't think the combo pho had beef tripes which I usually look forward to.“
“My inaugural visit to this Vietnamese Pho restaurant left me thoroughly impressed. The beef soup they serve is simply extraordinary, and I'm already looking forward to returning. Moreover, their service was remarkably swift and attentive—surpassing my expectations. Thank u so much this definitely made my day!! ?“
“Came to enclave to see what restaurants were open and saw that 123 pho opened up. They had so many dishes to choose from. When you walk in, you'll order and find a table to sit at. Their restaurant is an open area and they have table outside as well to choose from. We ended up getting the shaken beef with noodles and the rare flank pho. They were both really good! I think I'd ask for the onions to be well done for the shaken beef. I would definitely come back to try other items like the lemongrass chicken and Vietnamese crème brûlée coffee.“

“This place is incredible. I dined here with my vegetarian son twice in five days, but I’m not a vegetarian. I didn’t miss the meat whatsoever. The food was seasoned so deliciously that it was simple to eat healthier. The texture and flavor of their “meat impostors” will trick your palate! My only criticism was the bathroom was not exactly the cleanest! Given the quality of the food, this seems like an easy fix!Vegetarian options: Nothing bland here!Parking: Several parking spotsKid-friendliness: Space for childrenWheelchair accessibility: Space for wheelchair or walker“
