I ordered pork spring rolls and checked with the person on the phone that it was indeed pork. I picked up my order and drove 20 minutes back home (40 min round trip) and when I got home ready to eat, I realized the spring rolls were all shrimp. Not pork. I called them hoping to get a refund because I did not feel like driving 40 minutes round trip just to get my order fixed. They didn't even apologize. Not even once. Instead, they told me to bring the food in and they would change it for a new one. So I told them I live 20 minutes away and would prefer a refund. And they told me that if I wanted a refund, I would have to bring in the incorrect order as well as the card I paid with (which doesn't make sense because I paid with Apple Pay?). So I made the drive over again. When I got there, there was no apology, no nothing. The man who seemed like the manager just completely ignored me and the girl, who seemed like a waitress just handed me my food and took the wrong order to the back. I didn't get any kind of service, they did not refund my money whatsoever and just made me drive for over an hour to get some spring rolls. I will never be coming back and I hope they fix their customer service. Also the meat to veggie ratio on the spring rolls are absolutely horrid.

First Visit: Clean space with clean non sticky tables. The service is quick but I was the only one there my whole meal. Atmosphere is quite and calm inside the restaurant as well as the area around the strip mall. Menu is the same as you would normally find in most all pho restaurants. The pho broth isnt the best but better then the majority in the area. With all my pho orders I always choose the house special (rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, and sometimes meatballs) with extra tendon, iced Thai tea, and sometimes spring rolls. No rolls this time but my order was standard. Sadly I didnt see any of the extra tendon I ordered and my large bowl was on the small size. Hopefully my next visit is better

A good pho place.I still think that the New Pho in Long Beach has better broth, but this place has good pho.As other reviews mention, their lunch special is a great deal. A small pho with a spring roll and a drink for about $10. That’s great. Since it is pho, they serve quickly.The area ( the triangle street ) gets busy during the lunchtime, so you might have a not of a hard time finding a parking spot.Note: their iced milk coffee is super strong like an authentic Vietnamese coffee. Be aware! I guess this is a Vietnamese restaurant. After all. Hahaha

Simple, homey Vietnamese restaurant. The food is delicious, very affordable. The broth is clean tasting without the extra fat. Generous portions and vegetables are all fresh and highy quality meats. Service is warm and welcoming. Plenty of parking.

Visited this new spot with my mom. The ambience is clean and bright. They did just open, so you might find things misplaced and AC not working well.Regardless, the spot is only a 3 for me. My mom got garlic noodles with jumbo tiger prawns and thai tea. It was their most popular and the cashiers fave. The 5 pc shrimp is extra 8 bucks. The noodles themselves is the same amt. The prawns were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I enjoyed it but the garlic noodles did have a great flavor but it was aggressively seasoned.Thai tea is creamy and good. Hard to mess this one up.I got the crawfish pasta. The abundance of crawfish and sausage was great. Its creamy and a bit spicy, which i liked. It is also aggressively seasoned but the creaminess did cut through it a bit.I wish both dishes were a bit more balanced. It was savory and salty, so it needed some acid to balance it out.Peach Lychee Tea tasted like its green tea based and it was a bit bitter. Idk how they brewed it but this happens when you burn the tea. Maybe it was also premade. Was not a fan.Other than that, would give this place another try especially when PUR bowls open up. Would not try the foods we ordered though.

The reason I gave a 2 star in service when it should be a 0 or 1 is because the Hispanic guy that works there has always treated my friend and I respectfully.But on Saturday, March 10, 2024 at around 0258 we noticed that the last grp of ppl left so we said well, lets ask for a tray so we can take our leftovers home. We ask for it and when we receive them the young waitress turns off the lights on us making it hard for us to pour our food in the tray. My friend asked kindly if we can get the lights on so we can see where we pour our food and they did. A few seconds later they turn a sound alarm as if they trying to tell us to get out.Not only did we know we were no longer welcomed they, meaning 2 college student asian females, Im assuming, did not have the decency to tell us their closed, even though we were getting ready to leave, but decided to give us the silent treatment.When we went to the door my friend said good night and the asian lady who was cleaning the kitchen said good morning. My friend laughed it out and said yes you are correct and they still gave us that hostility silence.When we were talking at the parking lot we noticed that they still had the light on. And realized that they left the lights on because they needed it to clean so why did they turn off the lights on us when we were trying to pour our food in a container to take home.Ladies, you have a mouth, talk to us, dont be disrespectful. I have never given a negative rating before and this was definitely uncalled for.
Lees Sandwiches

Cant you see? You & Lee, were meant to be!Had the great honor to attend Lees Sanwiches Grand Opening in Hawaiian Gardens.To commemorate the occasion, Lees offered either a free Vietnamese iced coffee or baguette with the purchase of a sandwich the whole day. Being a fan of Lees cheap banh mis and superstrong coffee, I jumped at the chance to be the very first in line for this special event.The employees were training, which is understandable. They were going through the ins & outs of the ordering process. My order took a little while longer than it should have, but I wasnt perplexed. Free mini-banh mi sandwiches, manjoo & iced coffee samples kept me happy as I waited for my order.Attending Grand Opening events, you just never know who youll have a photo-op with. Me, I just happened to snap a few pics next to THE Mr. Lee, himself! The official photographer also snapped a few pics of myself - with Mr. Lee, ordering at the register & with the employees giving out free food outside the entrance. Hey, I cant help that the camera loves me! ;pFor less than $4, you can have a tasty combination banh mi. A really great value with a good portion-size, the combo banh mi wont cause you to have a food baby. Wash that down with the liquid crack iced coffee, and thats what I call lunch.Of course, the place was spotless, with a few tables for dining in. Parking is in a private lot, anchored by a Walmart Neighborhood Market.Lees Sandwiches, glad to see you in Hawaiian Gardens. When I dont want to deal with the parking situation at the Artesia location, I wont hesitate to stop by & give my teeth a workout by gnawing on your crusty baguette bread sandwiches, with a iced coffee pick me up.Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Food was absolutely amazing, I grew up eating Phò and this place is the absolute closest thing to home. Service was extremely quick and warm, our food came out in less than 15 minutes and the vibes of the restroom was very homey. Definitely if youre looking for a warm meal and something that hits the spot then this is the place to be. ‼‼

I came at around 12:30 for to pick up lunch for me and my fiance. He asked for the mojo cuban sandwich with a side of fries instead of the salad and I got a california burrito with fries. He got the raspberry lemonade and I got the Vietnamese coffee. The burrito came with chips and salsa (salsa was so good, a little spicy and a lot of flavorful). The cashier taking our order was so polite. Everyone was keeping to the social distancing, there was a tarp outside to wait for your food but I chose to wait in my car. I got a text as soon as my food was finished. It took about 20 minutes so if youre in a rush for lunch, I would suggest ordered ahead. They take phone orders too. The burrito had a lot of rice and potato i think so it was pretty filling. The avocado salsa in it was delicious!!! The chicken in the burrito had a good flavor. The raspberry lemonade was good. The Vietnamese coffee was strong!! Love it.
