    Been here a few times now and decided to give them a proper review. It's been since before the pandemic started and came her last night. I ordered #69 Rice plate which comes with shrimp paste in bean curd sheet fried up real crispy, baked egg, bbq-pork chop over rice, and served with a sweet fish sauce which makes it just the right enhancement for flavor. Wifey got their brisket pho & our daughter chowfun with different kinds of meats. Everything was delicious and a close comparison to Pho Fula in La Habra. The place is clean, organized, have great service that's friendly and makes you feel at home. The chef came out and made sure everything was great with a sense of humor. We'll be back to try other things on their menu.

    Great Vietnamese staple in Carson. Great outdoor seating, fully enclosed and covered. Very spacious. Allowed us to bring my Two wheeled stand up electric kick scooter into the outdoor area. Very accommodating. Good food, fast service. I love the house special. Right on Carson Street so can be a little loud even though the outdoor areas enclosed.

    The plates were big portions, I think it's worth the price they charge for each & it does taste good. I got the Pho with brisket, tripe & tendon & it was a lot of those in the bowl for $10.95 XL. The spring rolls we're a decent size too, then they cut it in half with the peanut sauce, sooo good. I also ordered their Thai tea with boba but it's not blended, it's with ice, it's alright. The service was excellent! By the time we left the place, it was packed.

    My fav Vietnamese restaurant hands down in this area. Nice and clean service and all dishes I've ordered has always been very delicious. I recommend the salt and pepper shrimp, crisp chow mein, fried rice, pho combination, vermicelli dish, and most of all the crispy squid! Only complaint I have is they always skimp you out on whip cream topping when you order Thai tea!!!

    I'm usually a fan of this place, but not last night. Decided to have a family dinner with my wife and kids at this establishment food was good but service wasn't, we were sat in the back booth and seemed very forgotten about. Even people that came after us were checked on and served before us. Our food came out in sections and our egg rolls were forgotten about until I reminded them about them. Then when they finally arrived they were cold. Was very disappointed because this place it's usually very good to me and my family over the years, and now I'm not sure if i want to dine there again.

    This place has improved tremendously. The crispy vegetable egg rolls is a must. The Pho has gotten better. I will go back and try other tems. Oh yeah, definitely get the green mussels.

    Food is tasty pretty fast service on food coming out. Was my 2nd time eating there this year with the family. Kids like it. No kids menu. But you can share the food but not the soda drinks. The milk coffee/tea is good. Number 69, 6, 70, 59, 103or113 where good.

    Sorry but this is not a good soup take out! Normally you get a bowl to pour your soup with the noddles, but that this place! I don’t recommend take out with soup here! To make it even worse the soup was expensive too! No for me! Management should rethink about the take out.

    I always make sure to have lunch here whenever I am in the area for grocery shopping. They serve the best calamari and grilled pork bbq in a spring roll or vermicelli bowl or over rice and egg plate. Don't forget to order their yang chao fried rice too if you are dining in a group. Plenty of parking too.

    This a good place if you want to try out any Vietnamese food from the pho soup to any of the rice 🍚 dishes as they call it everything is tasty. The service is not the greatest, but it will do. Prices are affordable and it is a nice quiet place.

    Not sure what happened to this pho joint in the heart of Carson over the past year. Hard to call in orders lately as the phone rings off the hook or we get the busy signal. Since it is nearby and we have been long time customers, we continually gave it second, third, fourth etc. chances. The time has come to move on. Why? Ordered tonight and the grilled beef was lacking in flavor. Wasn't that way before. The worst of it was the beef pho we ordered. The broth was CHICKEN and it came refrigerated COLD. Thankfully this was a take home order so we had a microwave available otherwise we would have been in a tight spot if we were taking this out to eat somewhere outdoors like the park. The food here was always fresh and orders were correct. Have to say we will take a longer drive when in town for a better experience. Shame too as this has been our family's go-to spot since it opened. Maybe a change in management or lack of interest in customer service?

    family-friendly nook for flavorful Vietnamese flare, indoor & outdoor sitting, quick service, customer-friendly priced right for ample portions,

  • 4/5 Jose R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was pretty good, they messed up a bit on the order and had to correct them at checkout to not get over charged. I wouldn't recommend getting and extra side of beef balls, as they will give you one beef ball and cut it into four. It wasn't a large one either.

    The worst brisket of my life. I eat a lot of brisket pho, but this is nowhere near what a brisket should be

  • 4/5 Rosalba G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to get some Pho! The customer service is really on par. Service time is quick once you find the table. The egg rolls are crunchy and the soup is hearty.

    I have decided I will no longer go to this location. Sadly the service is very cold I guess that's the best way to put it. There has been a couple times that I came here that I had normal people serving me and the service was excellent but for the five to six other times I've been there people serving seem very cold and do not understand the concept of customer service and running a business. The older gentleman that always brings out the food to everybody is always super polite and nice he smiles and says thank you you can tell he really values the business it always makes me happy to see him and say hi. There's a girl that I see often always behind the register with a mask on and she never says anything when she comes to my table at all ever I tried to be nice and say hello thank you or whatnot never hear anything from her so weird. Went to have some food there today around 2pm the server young girl is very sharp bad energy never came to refill my water but she refilled everybody else's water never came to check on my table once I had to walk up to the front and check out because she never showed back up even though I had all of my food and plate at the corner of the table for probably 5 or 10 minutes sitting there waiting for somebody to come and never did. When I did go to check out the girl behind the front desk that I mentioned earlier still never said anything to me she just gave me the check didn't say thank you not even a smile didn't say anything. It's really a shame because their food is so good I always enjoy it definitely five stars for the food but I'm not trying to come and have an emotional roller coaster when I want to enjoy a very delicious pleasant meal I want to have a great experience with my meal and with the customer service but the customer service is extremely lacking in this case I think it has something partially to do with the fact that their staff is really young or just bad choices in hiring they definitely don't have good character or are not good people because it's not hard to be nice it's very easy actually and it's common sense especially in a business setting. I don't know but sadly I won't be coming back to this location I will find another location I'm a pretty loyal customer as well so.

    Their prices are affordable and reasonable. I like the taste of their food. The service is not slow. Saw a lot of people from the nearby hospital having lunch there. Food not heavy. The rice with protein topping choices are good. The noodle soup are okay, too. I enjoy ordering Boba smoothies here when I am in the area.

  • 5/5 Carol M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food but different than I am used to no lemongrass dishes. Most dishes are made without heat spices. There are soups instead of Phò. You won’t find salted lemonade, avocado or jackfruit smoothies. With that said they do have an extensive menu which is very tasty.
