    Really popular with queues out the door even at 11:30Am on the weekends. Tables are small, but service is fast. No wonder they've been here for 30+ years.

    Excellent pho comes with loads of toppings and a big plate if super fresh herbs & vegetables. Spring rolls are excellent and Vietnamese drip coffee was totally legitimate. Really enjoyed this place.

    The prospect of a perfect bowl of bun thit, Vietnamese noodles tossed with fish sauce, grilled pork and fresh herbs lead people to wait over an hour for a table. Read more

    Favorite place in 626 to eat. Great food, great service. Lines can get long, but it's worth the wait.

    Egg rolls are yummy and crispy. I purchased green tea raspberry cupcake and truffle molten cake are delicious and moist.

    Crowded casual Vietnamese place with absolutely amazing food. The egg rolls are legendary for good reason, and you'll get leftovers for days.

    Best Vietnamese food I've had in LA so far. The egg rolls are definitely as advertised. Awesome. Really good grilled pork and shredded pork broken rice too.

    Pho is really all about the broth. Here it is silky with subtle yet complex flavors. It's the benchmark for which to judge every other pho in the SGV.

    They take a month off. Best egg rolls though (both fried and not). Make sure to get the peanut sauce for the non fried ones though

    The Pho broth here is one of the best. They don't offer different types of Pho noodles and they herbs other than Thai Basil. But the line out the door proves a point.

    First time dining where the egg rolls ($2.60) were the highlight of the meal. And the pho ($7) was damn good too.

    NOT for vegetarians. A bit over rated but it's good for the. Heap prices. I can see why meat and shrimp lovers like it.
