Had lunch here with my friend ..he had chicken pho..I got the beef pho..I must preface ..I m very critical of Pho since well ..I think my moms pho is the best ....our orders came pretty quick. The broth is not too bad , the noodles were cooked right ..one complaint I have ..is I only had four extremely thin slices of beef...my friend loved his chicken pho. I thought mine was ok. There is the fried bread (gio chao quay) bread which is more Chinese and pho is strictly Viet, that you can eat. I didnt order that bread cuz well thats what is eaten with rice porridge not pho. Anyways , service was quick, efficient, if you dont have a mom that make u Pho once a month ..then yeah...also ..no parking so park on the street. This place only have pho on the menu..dif versions of it no rice..no stir fry no beef broccoli ......just pho. Came back today ..what happened ? Even worse Salty ..salty ..salty ...tiny 2 chopstickfull of noodles ..i asked for extra meat ...and I only got 4 pieces of meat ..yes I counted ...walked out wit my lips cracked and dry ...too too salty ..every one was eating it with the fried bread ..no wonder ..its to lessen the saltiness...there were mostly regulars ..and I doubt if anybody them had tasted real home made pho ever ...i was too generous last visit ..but this time ...no...dont come here unless you want to fill yourself up with gallons of water afterward. I can literally feel my blood pressure rising ...did even ..could not even finish a small bowl.

The food wasnt stellar, but it wasnt bad either. It did hit the spot. My Large pho w rare beef and well done brisket lacked the brisket part, but I was too hungry to point that out to the staff. I felt they skimped on the beef though. My mom ordered the medium pho with tendons (yuck) and it came in a identical sized bowl as my large pho. They give you the sprouts and greens n jalapenos, but you can order extra for a small charge. Service was fast, place was crowded, I think there was only ever one or two tables free at any one time during my entire visit. I had to ask for my water to be refilled twice. Id go again if I was craving pho.

Good value, closest Pho restaurant to home, thats why I returned. Service is horrible, the male owner or manager is very off-putting and makes rude comments under his breath. I once called in an order near the end of the day for take-home because I didnt want to hold them up at the end of the day, as im getting my order he walks behind me and says quietly "you lucky you called, or else we no serve you [sic]." Pho is ok, but id recommend Pho America for better tasting Pho and way better service and atmosphere.

Extremely friendly service. I saw the servers give candy out to kids and chatting up the customers. Our table wasnt given water, and when I mentioned they gave us free deep fried bread as a consolation. Other places dont do that. Parking can be tough because its next to a popular mexican food place. Interior seating is cramped but they really needed to utilize all the space because this place seemed pretty popular. Exterior of the building looks very modern and aesthetic.

Anyone who gives this place below 4 stars has no idea what pho really is. Everyone is a critic it seems like these days. The food is great, the service is even better.The Extremely friendly owner had me try the salted plum in soda water and my gawd it was yummy. Excuses the people that say its not pho because Cambodians/khmer own it. Race has nothing to do with taste and this place taste good!

This Pho place is popular in the local Khmer community. The Pho is flavored a bit differently than most other Pho in town. It tastes sort of, well, cinnamon-y to me - but I doubt its actually that. In any case, it is good even if a bit light on the meat. Note that you only get Thai Basil greens on the plate with the bean sprouts, peppers, and lime.

Aside from the continuous smell of authentic fish and soups, the noodles and dishes are delicious and authentic. The nice plate of Thai basil and raw beansprouts is yummy. The ice coffees and teas are worthy. Clean, friendly and great service, congenial atmosphere.

Their pho was unsatisfactory. The restaurant smelled musty and wreaked of fish sauce. They use waaaaaaaaay too much. The only two good things about this place is that they have a variety of sizes and their bowls are cheap. I would not recommend this place at all.

As everyone who rated correctly.... This is not true Pho. The broth is watered down, does not taste as it should. I do not know any other places to recommend but this place will not get my business ever. Next time go to the Mexican place next door.

I am a mexican and can tell that this is not Vietnamese pho the broth was not beef at all, the soup needed more flavor the meat is to tough and not enough of it, I have tried three different location and this dose not even come close to the others

The food was okay, but Id have to say the personalities of the service staff was not pleasant. On a basic level, there was something off with the lack of pleasantries. Also remember to bring cash, its a CASH ONLY venue.

Worst pho one can ever put int their mouths! The broth taste like boiled water with fish sauce. The place stinks of fish sauce too! I cant believe this restaurant even exist. Its a sin to serve this pho! Yikes

The broth is probably one of the tastiest pho broths Ive ever had. Docking a star for the lack of variety in the menu (no cha gio or other Viet food). If you want pho, this is probably the best you can get in LB.

I judge all Pho by its tendon. I love a tender substantial piece of tendon with my Pho Hong Phat Dac Biet. My understanding is that it takes time and patience. The tendon here was sliced thin and tough.

The best Pho outside of Seattles Thanh Brothers!! I love it most because it will clear a cold with one helping (you must put the hot stuff in though)! DELICIOUS!!!

Only entree on the menu is pho, which is great, but dont come here if you want fried rice, vermicelli, or spring rolls like most other pho places have.
