This was my go to lunch place nearly every day when I worked nearby for over a year. It’s quick, economical, efficient, really delicious, and healthy. My favorite was the rice plate with charbroiled pork which had amazing flavor and always made me feel good after. Sometimes I’d have a special beef pho to mix things up, which was likewise great.

First time here and it was delicious! I will elevate to 5 stars after my next meal. Ordered the regular and special beef pho and both were really good. Try the broth before adding anything, really really nice. Added an order of the garlic noodles, not to oily, very flavorfulUpdate 3/21 - I understand all eateries are hustling for business however telling your customer that their order will take an extra 20 minutes, then another 20 minutes, then giving a walk-in customer their order before yours because they ordered less than you, is just unprofessional and rude. I still think their food is great but I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Came during lunch. The staff was super friendly. I decided to get two special beef pho soup and a side of spring rolls. He was very patient with my questions and he had my order ready within 5 minutes. The pho was packaged very cleverly for a takenout order. The broth is kept separate and the noodles and beef are in a container within the soup bowl to keep the contents hot. The flavor of the broth was good. The beef cuts in it were nice and the noodles were fresh! The spring roll was also fresh and the peanut sauce was flavorful and just a tiny bit sweet with actual peanuts in it. The soup kept its heat too on the drive back. Definitely glad with my lunch choice. I forgot to take a picture of the food though but it was good.

Came in yesterday and the food was really good. The only downside was the service the dude working the counter had an attitude(Sunday 9/17 around 3pm). & He got our order wrong and charged us for the wrong item. Although they eventually gave us the right food the bill was never adjusted. Probably would go back but def not if that same guy is at the front.

The noodles and meats were decent, but the broth definitely lacks the richness and flavor of being stewed from real knuckle bones or the typical pho spice seasoning…

Pho tastes great. Soup is on the fattier side and thats how it should be, delicious. A lot of meat. Very short and simple menu. Delicious green drink. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating, automated car wash right next door which adds an interesting view. Recommended and will come back.

Very friendly and polite staff. I wanted a Bahn Mi but the sirloin fries caught my attention. He recommended them. They were delicious. Also had to have some spring rolls. Never thought to have that combination of food but Im glad I did. I have found a new fav spot in Torrance. Will have the Bahn Mi or Pho next.

Amazing food.. try the oxtail pho, garlic noodles with chicken or rare steak pho. Excellent meat texture, and flavor. Would rate this more than 5 stars if I could. Staff is also very friendly.

Flavorful and fresh. Good value, except for small portion of Korean ribs. Wings were tasty but drumettes were dried out by excessive frying.

Got the special beef pho and pork garlic noodles. The broth has depth and flavor, definitely the best one Ive had at any Vietnamese restaurant. Garlic noodles had the right amount of butter to coat the noodles to keep it from being dry and the garlic wasnt overpowering. Both the beef and pork were tender and cooked to perfection. It was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back!

Best pho in Torrance, maybe all of Southbay honestly. Super great broth. The marinated ribeye banh mi is also ten stars. Great bread and meat that come together perfectly. Absolutely go to this place. It is incredible!!!

The beef pho broth is very flavorful, has complexity of spices and flavors; far better than the typical salt and MSG broths.The grilled pork noodle salad bowl was excellent. I added an extra side of grilled chicken which was very disappointing - dry and hard; it tastes like something precooked and reheated just prior to serving.I suggest avoiding the grilled chicken unless it is freshly made.

Came here because I was craving pho and this place did not disappoint. Place isnt too hard to find, just look for the weird 7-11 or the car wash that sits right across. I decided to dine-in and it was a great experience. The place is quite small, with a handful of tables inside and two-two seater tables outside. Their menu isnt too vast with some variations of Pho, Vermiccilli, some other appetizers and a few refreshing sounding drinks. I love small menus and this menu did not disappoint. Customer service was also fantastic as they were able to take out order and get us our food in such a short time. This is an order and pay first before sitting down kind of place.The food I ordered was just the special Pho and it was delicious. The only problem I had was the broth wasnt as bold as I wanted it to be. It was a little on the blander side but a few drops of fish sauce helps. I also ordered the Egg Rolls which I definitely do recommend as it comes with some lettuce and fish sauce on the side to wrap and dip with.

I ordered from this place a couple of days ago! The worst pho I ever tasted in my life. The broth had no flavor. I also ordered a chicken banh mi and specifically told them no pork or beef and they still put the pate on it. I had to give away that sandwich. The only thing that saved this place from getting 1 stars is the grilled shrimp vermicelli. That was pretty tasty.

This place is one of the weekly lunch spot and I often drive down to OC for pho. The pho here is good enough to save me the drive. Broth is not overly flavorful and does not appear to have MSG. Special beef pho is my favorite and the beef is always moist and tender.

Hole in the wall pho shop inside a seven eleven plaza. Caters to office workers around the area so its not exactly super authentic compared to Westminster, but definitely good enough for this area.
