I have been driving by for awhile now and finally decided to try this place out. They both have Vietnamese and Japanese items on the menu. Just by having Japanese items on the menu on a Vietnamese restaurant already made me think that this will not be a good experience on the menu. I ordered a Bento box with pork katsu. It took about over 15 minutes to get my order.It came with a scoop of potato salad which tasted like a store bought Ressers Potato Salad. The Veggie salad has a thousand island dressing from the bottle. The tempura was ok. The Katsu was so skinny and tiny. Was not really satisfied about the food, it was not worth the $14.00.Will bot recommend.

Amazing food, they give you large portions of pho. The spicy option for pho is a must if you like spice, it's soso good. The service is fast which is very nice, it's a super cozy location and my go to place when I want pho.

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.

I wish I read more recent reviews before coming here. Traffic was bad on the freeway and I was craving pho - this was the closest to where I was at the time so thought I’d give it a try.I came in and sat down and said hello in Vietnamese - I love being able to practice when I go out for pho! The lady was rude and I apologized for speaking to her in Vietnamese. When I found out she was Korean I said hello in Korean and she smiled kind of…then she told me the cooks were Vietnamese.Long story short - the cooks were not Vietnamese they appeared to be her son and husband - that’s totally cool - I’m up for new experiences and appreciate family businesses. Then I looked around and started to take it all in…The table in front of me had used medical grade gloves on it, a bath and body works bag in the chair full of stuff, prescription bottles and other things and a dish cart was sitting out by a table.One of the cooks was more attentive to his plate of bacon and food he made for his girlfriend as they sat down to eat and ignored a customer who came in and stood there for several minutes.I ordered pho with brisket, flank and rare meat and there was more tendon than I’d expect and the meat wasn’t so great nor the noodles or taste really either. The eggrolls weren’t amazing but they were crispy, which I love. They were served on a plate with the fish sauce but no shredded carrots or anything else in it and no lettuce. :( I asked for lettuce and the lady brought it out on a plate but then, with her bare hand, took it off and put it on the egg roll plate. No mint leaves or anything else though.Lastly, there was a hair in my pho I noticed half way through that was on the side of the inside of the bowl and hanging out. I was already in deep so committed to finishing my experience there…and to give them the benefit of the doubt, it could’ve been my hair…except I had my hair back in a tight pony tail and a golf cap on….and I have blonde hair. ?The food wasn’t horrible, and I like to think everyone in this world is doing the best they can with what they have to work with. Hence the two stars. Although I can’t say I’d come back here again, at least not in a hurry… I’m always willing to give most things a second try, so you never know. Maybe they were just having an off night… But it was around 7 o’clock, I would think they’d be excited for dinner time customers, and try to make an experience that would draw repeat business.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian eggrolls, if I come back, I will try them!

I called in my order and walked over to pickup. While opening the front door I realized I forgot my wallet. Asked if they had Google Pay - nope, only Apple Pay. So had to walk back home to get my wallet and I confess I thought about not going back and just making my own damn lunch. I even thought about driving the 1.5 blocks, but ended up walking back and I'm so happy I did.Got the Teriyaki Chicken Bento. Normally I don't order chicken because to me it's usually bland and dry, but their teriyaki chicken was perfect. The steamed veggies were just the way I like them, they weren't crunchy and not overcooked &soggy. Tempura was really good: shrimp, sweet potato, carrot, and squash - all the ones I like! The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the potato salad because it was American deli style and not Hawaiian. It was still very good though just a bit too mustardy for me. And I loved the pickled radish and carrots - wish they doled out a bit more though.

Everything we ordered was so good! The pho broth really hit the spot, and the meat was perfect. The spring rolls were amazing too! The shrimp Vietnamese crepe is my favorite and they did not disappoint! Service was quick! Highly recommend!

Mom and pop shop, pho is good. The older couple are friendly. The younger general man not so much. Been back a couple of times when in the area and don't want to drive to Gardena.

I love getting their pho to-go. I fully reheat the soup at home, in a pot. Pour into a bowl, add the toppings, and voila. Heartwarming pho at home.Their service is not the best in Western standards... but they are nice and easygoing people. I assume it's the cultural gap, hence the 3.5 star average rating.
I like this restaurant foods. Very good!Parking: Usually easy to park.
