The pho is good but the customer service is not good. Every time I get pho to go, they don’t want to give me chili paste. I ask and they point at the bag. When I get home I don’t see one in the bag.

This place is really good. Got the chicken and rice noodles and it was really good. I think the chicken is super fresh because the chicken had some of the fibers on the skin which I don’t mind. It’s the natural way and I love it. They gave us fresh clean sprouts and basil leaves. Definitely coming back here again.

It tastes good. Every time I come back from a business trip, I will have a big bowl. The portion is very large and the taste is good. The soup is a little bland, but it is acceptable. I recommend it.

Ordering the Pho beef special and beef balls, I think the meats were cooked too well done... a little more chewy... ice tea was so great that having a strong jasmine flowers favorite!!! Services were just all right, the environment is ok clean .... I would recommend the spring rolls and other dishes rather than beef phos dishes!!

Place is ok not to clean or nice it's mid outside ambient is ghetto and dirty parking is scarce and hard to get but the food overall is 3/10 I got the #18 and it tasted so gamie and smelled awful like stinky cheese. The broth was ok not the tastiest and I love pho . So overall I will not be coming back . And I did not finish the food either . And my bowl came with a nasty black dirt stuff as seen on pic.

One of the best broth and noodles in SGV! The rare beef in the pho is thick and yummy. Taste like homemade.
Very good service, incredible food as well, i appreciate every server in this restaurant

When to this place on weekend with my family. They open at 8:30am was there before 9am. There was 3-4 customer dining in. As we walking to our talk to be seated, there's lot of trash on floor. Don't they sweeps after they closed or sweeps the trash before they open? Maybe that's why they got "B" rating from public health department. They have their door open and people's outside next to door smoking too. Food was okay, it's not like before. Maybe new owner.

I was driving back from my friends place and decided to eat before going home, I found this restaurant that isn't closed at 8 pm like most Vietnamese restaurant, is open until 9 pm. Is easy to find, between Garvey and Rosemead Blvd, behind the gas station. There's a couple of customers eating and I was seated right away. It looks pretty old by looking at the dirty chairs, the ceiling and the walls. But the food is amazing. Of course, I always order the combination pho, spring rolls and Thai tea without the boba. The food came out pretty quickly and omg, the pho has a lot of meat which I like and is only $12.50 for a large size. The Thai tea is pretty tasty too where you can taste the black tea with a little sweetness, not water down or too powdered. The spring rolls was okay, too much rice noodles in it, I think. If you don't eat it right away, the rice noodle wrap gets chewy. I was too busy taking pictures lol is $27.01 plus $7 tips, is pretty good. Is $2.00 less then my favorite pho place by my house but if I drive here, it would be the same price cuz of gas prices lol I would recommend this restaurant, and I would definitely come back when I'm in the area and craving pho

The XL size pho (beef noodle) is really big with a very reasonable price. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are good. However, it is quite hard to find a car park in this plaza. Very inconvenient!

This place may be called a "Pho" restaurant but we really came here for the broken rice ("Com tam") plates. We ordered a couple of different rice plates, but pictured are two popular choices: 1. Com Dac Biet: this is the special plate that basically comes with a little of everything. It includes shredded pork ("Bi"), the tofu skin shrimp ("ta hu ky"), Chinese sausage, and egg/meatloaf ("cha"). All items were prepared well and portion sizes were generous and made for a satisfying meal! 2. Com Suon: pork chop ("suon") over rice. The portion size for the plate was amazing. They give you two large chops, which you can really share with two people or save one for lunch the next day. Other items we ordered (but not pictured): 1. Pho Dac Biet: very large bowl of pho. Broth was tasty and amount of noodles and meat (brisket, beef slices, tripe, tendons) were plentiful 2. Pho Bo Kho: an equally generous sized bowl! Plenty of beef chunks and tendons. The only small negative could be the "oily-ness" of the broth. That could be a turn off for some. Service: great service from the staff. They're very efficient and responsive. Food came out very fast. Even faster had we all just ordered Pho, but since we had rice plates that required some dish preparation, that took a few minutes longer. Parking: this restaurant is located on a corner, in a very small strip mall where there's two other businesses next to each other. The parking is limited and can be a little crowded. But fortunately, this is near a neighborhood where you can find street parking as long as you're willing to drive walk a little. So overall, this is a GREAT place to grab a bite if you are in El Monte. It's so much more than a Pho restaurant. Try out the rice plates...you won't be disappointed!
