The spicy beef broth was quite delicious. The brisket beef that was used in this dish was extremely tender, exactly in line with how I prefer my meats. The broth had a small, but healthy amount of kick and was very warming. A very hearty, and easy to digest dish for sure! The banh mi left more to be desired. The bread lacked crispiness, and felt a bit dry. The grilled pork was also a tad bit overcooked and the flavor felt a tad bit lacking compared to other banh mis. Still, very happy with the spicy beef noodle soup, would recommend

Pho Fever Bistro in West LA & Pho Thanh Huong in Las Vegas spoiled me. So, when I got the #7 today, I was a little surprised how few noodles I got & the amount of brisket was in the take out container. However, I know that inflation is making it tough on restaurants & frankly, I don’t know why take out doesn’t have an extra $1 surcharge for the extra styrofoam containers & wrapping is needed to make sure the pho is piping hot by the time it gets to your home. Also, the broth was good and the brisket was perfect. I just wish there were more noodles & meat as I whined about above. 👆 I’ll definitely order again when I know I want mainly broth (which they gave plenty) & not starving or need to not eat too much bc I know I’m going to have a big dinner. Also there wasn’t tons of msg. Just a little. Some places put so much I get a headache. Oh, I forgot, but the price was amazing. Maybe that’s why the lack of noodles and meat. $14’ish vs down the street at 888 where it’s at least $4 more for the same bowl. It was a solid bowl 🥣 & it looks like it’s run by a small family. Support these small family businesses. We need more of them! And thanks young girl who is probably pressured to work there. She gave me extra lime with no guilt. I remember when I had to work at my parents’ grocery stores. Not fun.

Rating: 3.8/5 [delivery] Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($9.14): The French bread was actually really good, tasty, and perfectly toasted. The butter helped elevate this sandwich. Pate was there but more subtle. Grilled pork flavors were not bad. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup ($14.95): This does not taste like Bun Bo Hue and lacked the satay, lemongrass, and shrimp paste flavors. It also did not come with banana blossoms. The broth is spicy but lacks depth of flavor, even after I squeezed in the whole lime. I did not like the broth at the beginning but it grew on me as I sipped on it more. Two Egg Rolls ($6.90): These tasted good and were crispy. The egg rolls were stuffed with pork, shrimp, mushroom, and veggies which were balanced in portion and taste. The sweet and sour dipping sauce was okay. Two Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls ($6.90): Not good. There was too much vermicelli noodle, and the spring rolls did not taste very fresh. The pork and shrimp were dry as well.

Betty always takes care of me when I come in. She’s always sweet, respectful, and has the best attitude. Every time she serves me, she makes sure everything is right and makes me feel welcomed. She’s definitely one of the best servers and I always appreciate her good service!

They have some fairly good pho, though I found myself preferring the dumplings and wontons. The brisket and steak wasn’t the best, but certainly pretty good. They give good portions and are accommodating for tweaks you might want. They …
