Get the pho dac biet. It has everything you want from a Southern pho: rare slices of beef and plenty of brisket, tripe, and tendon floating alongside rice noodles, onions, scallions, and cilantro. Read more

The magic potion at Pho 87 is the charbroiled pork pho. We don't want any subtle, nuanced flavors when we're in this state and the charred, bold flavor hits the spot. Read more

The perfect soup to ward off that cold you feel coming on: a clean-tasting broth with lightly browned chunks of tofu (energy!) plus lime to squeeze in and fresh basil to shred on top (aromatics!). Read more

Pho is kind of the perfect hangover food—a little salty, a little spicy and totally restorative. You don't need to trek out to the San Gabriel Valley to get a decent bowl of it. Read more

Its one of the better Vietnamese food around Chinatown. Been going there for years. We always get the beef noodles soup call pho dub beit or the pho su la extra large.

Best pho in LA. Get the #20 charbroiled pork or the #4 brisket. 💯

So delicious and the portions are huge. The Pho’s are tasty and fresh.

If you get a chance, get this pho. It's ranked 2 in LA for pho and it doesn't disappoint. I got the number 3.

The beef pho doesn't even need the extra sauce or garnishes. It is perfectly balanced as is. The fortunes in the fortune cookies are subpar. 😂

Try #45 on the menu to make your own lettuce wrap and have a Vietnamese ice coffee. Great meal but messy on your hands.

charbroiled pork #20 is the most flavorful pho I've ever had..! get it with egg rolls, wrap em in a mint leaf and lettuce. so stuffed. a small is BIG.

Great pho. A medium is huge, also be liberal with the chili fried garlic sauce.

#82 but swap out the lettuce with sliced tomatoes. Also make sure they bring the small bowl of zesty dipping sauce (not the soup).

Whole in the wall from@the outside, yet bigger but super full in the inside. Hipster vibe

Cash only! I had to eat at Pho Broadway instead, which wasn't bad. The pho here is $9.75, vermicelli was $9.

베트남 쌀국수집으로 깔끔한 맛이었다. 웨이팅은 없었고, 다양한 민족의 사람들이 먹으러 오는거 같았다. 그러나 동양계사람이 가장 많았다. 쌀국수도 맛있고, 분짜와 볶음밥도 푸짐하고 맛있었다.

Порции огромные! Куринный суп с лапшой и зеленью не съесть хотя я люблю поесть ;) 10баксов но это того стоит.Интерьер на 3 но это не главное.я доволен.
