We got shrimp pho and steak pho. It was really good and hit the spot. We ordered and the soups came out piping hot. Will definitely be back to get our pho fix when we are in the area.

Ok so we sat ourselves (self seating) and we waited until some nice lady came to ask If wed been helped. We ordered and my order was wrong. We had asked prior if it came with vegetables already in it, besides the broth and meat. We were told it didnt. We ordered one plain just in case. When both came out they both had onions/ chives on it. I figured theyll just get me a new one? 🤷‍♀️ nope 🙅‍♀️ they picked out the onions and stuff. Was finding them while I was eating it. Dont get me wrong it tasted good but honestly defeated the purpose of asking before hand if it came with any or not. I also wouldnt have looked like I didnt enjoy it, because it was really good. Also ordered a coffee, we figured WE ordered it wrong because it was all black. So we asked for creamer, we were informed they didnt have any but had MILK. So we asked if we could have some on the side. I swear we were getting punked because they took it, and it came back looking the literal dam same lol. Also guy came over and said FREE SIDE DISH It was a dam side of onions. I swear we WERE GETTING PUNKED. We couldnt help but laugh wondering if this dude was for real. GOOD food but boy was this another level of customer service for us lol some might ask, did we tip? Of course the food was still good, I say there was a language barrier there for sure.

This place was perfect for our large group who took up 3 tables (24 people). The restaurant itself is very spacious, clean and modern, and the staff are super professional and nice. They did a great job taking care of our big order and were always ready to help. The food itself was really delicious, and the herbs were all really fresh. The best bowl of pho came with 3 ribs only for $15!! What a deal. Would go here again for sure.

The Pho is Ok but definitely don’t order Cha Gio banh trang Viet nam. Too fat, not crunchy but chewy!!! I couldn’t eat this but still paid for $8

First time coming to Pho Lovers. The customer service was excellent. Extremely friendly and took very good care of my wife and I. Being a picky eater from the bay area, this place showed us that LA has amazing pho on par from what we know. Thank you Phó Lovers for being amazing!!!

I order Pho with chicken thigh and as you could see in the picture I clearly didnt get any thigh. Party of two and I got my soup first then 10mins later my sister got hers. It would have been nice if we both got our plates at the same time because my food got cold as I was waiting for her food to arrive because its rude to eat while the other person is waiting but she insisted so my food wouldnt get any colder. While we had lunch no server came to check on us, we needed a refill on drinks but they didnt bother to even look our way.

Peter sets a new standard for customer service; hes outstanding! The food was yummy and they were more than just accommodating for my 2 year old niece who ate with us today. Ill absolutely be coming back and telling my friends and family about Pho Lovers! The oxtail was delicious!

Service slow and not enough waiters. Staff is mostly high school students. Waited a couple of mins before I ordered at the front desk. Pho Tai tasted bland and not enough meat in comparison to other pho places. Disappointed with the flavor of the dish. Soup tasted sweet and not savory such a waste. Not sure if they have a rave party in the backside of the restaurant because it is loud.

I just got off the 405, hungry and ready to eat. As soon as I saw this spot, I had to pull over.I had been drinking the night before and was really craving some pho.I ordered the #9 special that had everything in it - and it was delicious af. It hit the spot.Restaurant seems to be run by Vietnamese immigrants and you can definitely taste the authenticity. Their English isn’t the greatest so best with them.The venue itself is pretty big - can fit tons of ppl. Parking lot is also large and easy.

I liked how good it looks. Brisket pho was delicious. Plenty of meat and very savory, the egg rolls are one of the best I’ve tried. I got Vietnamese coffee and it was perfect: strong and not too sweet. The service was pretty good too, very servicial.

Wife found small curly hair in her bowl of Pho half eaten hence the 1 star. Otherwise, love the flavor and have dined here multiple times. Didnt complain cuz she was full anyway. Wont be back.

Interior-very modern and clean, pretty big size restaurant/nice bathroom (4star)Food - pho special combo was good portion but, served with small bowl and broth was average(3.5 stars)Service - 1 star - no greeting / no one ask for the more service / no smile

I would say this is not a pho place for Vietnamese people and cater more to Hispanic. Flavor and broth just isnt there. Meat quality average at best.

Menu has many options. The phở I had was hot and delicious. The noodles were the perfect consistency. The restaurant was clean.

Everything was good but I get the feeling this is locals only. I was the only one that wasnt Viet here and I got a lot of looks. At the end, when I walked up to pay, I was waiting in line and another customer cut right in front of me. The guys did nothing...at all.Everything else was good though. Broth was clean and Im pretty sure it was beef broth. Tasty. Couldve had more beef balls but there was steak in it so I guess that balanced it out. Some of the steak was clumped together. Noodles were too. Not a huge deal but clearly it was just thrown (literally) in the bowl.Good amount of parking and fast service. Everything was pretty good except if I return, I would probably need to bring a Viet friend or at least Asian. Im neither so...

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Couldn’t even enjoy my meal or finish ordering bc the staff was so rude! Our waiter dropped our sauces on our table when picking up our menus once we said we were leaving. He snatched the menus with no respect. Never coming again

Awesome food, took my service dog with me and 2 ladys told me to sit outside, not cool, they dont know the laws for service animals. Please 🙏🏽 fix this. Overall I highly recommend it. 👌🏽

This place is fantastic. My daughter and I go at least once a month. The owner/manager (not sure) always comes out to greet me. Today they were super busy. He greeted us by coming over and talking to us. We also had my daughters 80 year old sister in law with us. When my 66 year old daughter went to pay the owner/manager said that some Vietnamese guy paid for our meal. We were shocked. My daughter asked why. He said the guy said that he likes elderly people. It was very sweet of the person (I suspect that the person is the owner/manager) and we appreciate it. The filet pho is the best. We have tried other dishes and love them all. We all highly recommend Pho Lovers!

I was very disappointed and the quality of the meat and the presentation. The supposed fillet mignon was definitely not filet mignon, and it was served raw, not rare as advertised in the menu and it came only after I noted that there wasn’t any in my bowl. It was all well done beef snd brisket in my in my pho; when I was asked on the way out if I thought it was good and I said no and he just smiled and I said no not good, bad!!I was very disappointed for $28, way over priced for what it was, I will never be back!

A typical pho place, good in its own way but sometimes they mess up the portion, for instance too much noodles or too much broth, or the smoothies, there will be times it will be icy, or too melted. Which alters the taste, and I know by heart it is unintentional. Overall, clean place, excellent service, and clear menu with English in it.

Manager (or who seemed like he was) needs to have a better attitude and pay attention when people enter his restaurant if hes the only one seating people, I stood at the counter waiting to be seated while he just kept talking to some worker in the kitchen doorway and laughing.I ordered a simple thing of beef bone and side or rice noodles and he looked at me like is that all youre getting and kept rolling his eyes when I asked him a question and not to put onion on top of it. This is usually what I get at Pho Lovers 2 location which is a great location. Anyway, it came out, had no meat it it, which it usually does and was also cold. I only stopped here because I was in Huntington heading back towards Stanton. I should have just went to their 2nd location.Will not be returning here.

This place was reccomended to us by a friend agywr our favorite oho place shut down. Its a large, almost cafeteria style restaurant. Definitely not very clean. The entire time we were there a large cart of dirty, used dishes sat in the center of the restaurant just a few feet away from us and the floor was sticky. The food arrived quickly, chicken and shrimp pho with egg rolls and Vietnamese ice teas. Pho was bland but fresh tasting. Had to keep adding lemon, salt and chilies. And it wasnt just my table of four that kept asking for more condiments, looked like most tables around us were doing the same. This wont be a regular place for us but maybe were too picky after years of excellent pho at our now closed restaurant.

We had the beef and shrimp phó, along with the veggie egg rolls, and a Vietnamese coffee. The phó broth was some of the best we ever had, and we had to add very little to the broth. The soup contained a sufficient amount of meat and bountiful rice vermicelli.The egg rolls were crispy and didnt seem frozen.The place appears new with ample seating, and the service was excellent. We would definitely stop by again to try other dishes.

Good pho. The side of beef bone was cold though...need to heat it up before serving.Update: Have been here about 8 times in the last month. The pho is always good and consistent. Service is decent. Have not had another cold beef bone bowl since last visit. 5/5 for one of the best pho in HB. Would definitely visit more often. Please join one of the delivery apps!!!

Excellent pho. My mom likes it too and she’s extremely picky with Viet food. The staff is polite and the service is really good. Most Viet restaurants in this area has laughably terrible service but this place is a pleasant exception.

Great service and great pho noodle soup. When you try it, you will become labeled like the name. There are other food selection on the menu as well. Everyone I introduced here, claims it as their new favorite pho restaurant.

7-7.5 out 10. Not the greatest but not the worst. It went down well. Gave it a 4 because its greater than 3 when you factor flavor and customer service.
