Top Vietnamese Restaurant in Granada Hills
Good Pho You
10648 Balboa Blvd, Granada Hills, CA 91344, United States
Took forever to receive my meal, every spring roll fell apart when it was picked up and to top it off the vermicelli noodles were over cooked and just mush and the shrimp was barely warm once I finally got my meal. I have eaten at many vietnamese restaurants across the country and I would have to put this experience toward the bottom of the list.
Pho So 1
16860 Devonshire St, Granada Hills, CA 91344, United States
Its a chain, popular among the Valley residents, that my family has been going to (between this place and pho 999) for the past 20 years. With that being said and the fact that I lived 10 min walking distance away from this new location for the first 18 of those 20 years, I was genuinely mad and upset, but excited at the same time, when I first found out that theyll be opening up another location so close to my place, because they opened up less than a year after I moved away I believe... In regards to the food, well, whats there to say, especially when I already explained that Ive been going there for 20 years, grew up eating it every saturday for years? I will say that there are some differences between pho so 1 and pho 999 though. My parents prefer pho so 1, Im ok with both, and my exs family preferred pho 999. Pho 999s broth has stronger smell. Either way, both places are GREAT and I will be genuinely sad if anything should happen to either of the places. In regards to how theyre doing with COVID pandemic? Pretty good. Kept real good distances between the tables, BUT they still have sauce bottles, which I did not like and agree with AT ALL. Food tastes the same, but their prices seemed to have gone up a little.. OH! and they also charge $1 extra per person for COVID issue,, which I was fine with. Id be happy to support the local restaurants like them! :)

Small extremely casual place with multiple signs stating they had no public bathrooms. Upon entering we were not greeted or seated. We almost walked out. There were 2 other customers at tables and one on bused table which soon became 3 unbused tables. There was faint music coming out of the speakers muffled by the annoying humming either from the speakers or the beverage refrigerator. Once our server came to take our order, she was friendly & informative. Food came quickly beginning with side salads. We opted for peanut dressing which was warm & bland. I looked around for salt & pepper and no table had them. I would have like pepper on my salad but we didnt see the server again until the rest of food arrived. The food was the best thing about this place. Im told the chicken yellow curry was good. Pah Thai was better than average. The BBQ combination was a good portion but a bit dry. Pork and ribs were chewy. The chicken, though not raw, may have tasted better fired up more. Shrimp fried rice was bland, but surprisingly had 2 shrimp, which I wasnt expecting. The Thai coffee was not good; it tasted more like the burnt rice coffee my grandmother made. Overall, the prices were reasonable but I think Ill pay a little more at my usual Thai place for better ambiance, food, bathroom, and service. Sorry, I wanted to like this place but they had too many negatives.
