I have been to many phở restaurants in Korea town and this is one is the best! If you are a phở fanatic like I am you know that there is a difference between Korean style phở and Vietnamese. So, you can’t compare the two. I got the ox tail phở and it was delicious! I added meatballs because I am fat. The portions are large. The spring rolls were good. And the dumplings were good too! My only suggestion is to serve basil. I’ll be coming back for sure!!!

Great place to get Phở after a long night out. I would recommend the Phở Brisket or the Spicy Oyster noodles. Note: the«Mild» Spicy is still actually pretty spicy, so be prepared to drink alot of water while eating there. The service was fast and although they are quick to turn over tables, it’s pretty typical of any asian place and something I try not to take it personal. There is parking in the plaza, although it’s valet. It’s right next to a Bobatime which is great for dessert afterwards. I wouldn’t recommend coming here in a large group because it’s a pretty small space and there’s always people trying to eat here.

Hit or miss. Service is great. Food is delicious but sometimes the phở upsets my stomach. Appetizers and iced coffee are really great here though and it’s open 24 hours! Definitely a good late night option but not the best phở in koreatown.

The menu is very simple and basic. Just phở and a few other items. Taste was decent nothing to special. Good for late night since nothing else is open. If I crave phở and I am in the area I would definitely try them again.

This place is great for late night phở! I always come here when I’m sick or hungry late at night when everything else is closed. To be honest most Phở tastes the same to me so I can’t comment on the quality other than I like it a lot. Parking is really easy they have a valet lot for $ 2 and I believe it is free after 10pm. The food always comes out really quickly and I’ve never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table despite the fact that the restaurant is pretty full every time I have been

No MSG! Yea! Huge portion. One item can be shared by two. My to-go Chicken phở order was awesome & came with 3 different sauces. Tasty, flavorful & no guilty feeling :) Shrimp fried rice was filled with small shrimps & eggs. Had 2⁄3 large shrimps. Tasted kinda flat, but I wouldn’t expect much from a MSG free fried rice. But the eggs covered the taste part. Though I’d love it if they’d change the small frozen pink shrimp to fresh shrimps

Went in for a phở fix that I was craving. Went in and we got a nice greeting from the worker there. She sat us down and gave us our menu. We ordered the mix phở that had different types of meats in it. And unfortunately it was some of the blandest phở I have ever had. The texture and cook of the noodle was good but it had no taste whatsoever.

I love the taste of this phở as opposed to other restaurants I’ve tried. Its so flavorful plain but I love adding the chili sauce they provide. Not sriracha. Come here every week lol #guilty

Okay so this review might be a bit biased, I wasn’t too buzzed but everything tastes good when it’s late night grub lol after drinks! The broth for the brisket phở was clean, light tasting and not greasy. Egg rolls were decent and I don’t remember how the gyoza tastes. Valet parking is $ 2. This is all I know!

Went inside the restaurant to order chicken phở to go, and even though it was prime dinner time on a weeknight, I was still able to receive my order in a very timely manner. Additionally, the staff here is very friendly and attentive! As for the soup itself, the broth was quite tasty and all the sides were fresh, however the chicken was just a bit too bland for my liking. All in all, not the best phở I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst.

Let’s be real here folks, no Hateration in this phocery. This place is a small piece of Heaven. Spacious but intimate, the side portions(flavor enhancers) are generous and they don’t hassle you if you ask for extra. The older woman with the slouch hat is beyond cute and kind. The prices are sensational. Portions are large enough to take a to-go bin home for tomorrow. And the food is overall pretty tasty. Nuff said.

Korean style Vietnamese food. No, thank you! Ordered food to go… –SPRINGROLLS were just alright. It had too much shredded lettuce. –PEANUTDIPPINGSAUCE was watered down. –EGGROLLS were pretty tasty. Enjoyed it a lot. –FISHSAUCE tasted like water with a touch of fish sauce O_o. –SHRIMPFRIEDRICE came with both baby shrimp and a few pieces of regular shrimp. It had a curry flavor to it that I actually like, but I wished it had more shrimp. –BROTH that came with my order was like hot water, not kidding. It was so bland and had weird after taste. What’s going on??? Place is very small, customer service is great and they are open til 4am. I won’t be coming back.

One of the selling points of this place is that it’s open late, but I came here for lunch with a friend. Phở can be hit or miss, especially in ktown. This place really hits the spot though. The portions are huge, so you’ll definitely be full. There’s lots of flavor, & they don’t skimp out on meat, noodles, or sides. It’s a small place, so service is really great & personal. That being said, it’s definitely meant for coming in small groups of 1 – 4, great for intimate conversation. Parking can be difficult, as it’s in a small shopping center with a lot of popular restaurants. It’s got a prime location. For the amount you get, prices are more than reasonable as well. Expect to pay $ 8 – 10 for a typical bowl of phở. I will definitely be coming back.

I think the good thing about this place is that it’s for those late nights when you’re craving food and no other place is open. We ordered the chicken fried rice which didn’t taste too much like fried rice at all. The phở is pretty alright after you add in all the garnishings and Sriracha.

Came in for the first time late Saturday night after the club. This place was packed. Luckily there wasn’t a wait and we sat down quickly. The waitress took our order quick. Food came out quick also. My friend and I both ordered the phở seafood combo. It was delicious! No msg as they advertise. I normally don’t drink a lot of the soup but I did this time. Couldn’t resist the taste of the sauces and chili mixed in. When I’m in the area this late, I usually go to the Korean bbq spot right next door but wanted to try something different tonight and it was the right choice. Will come back again.

Pretty decent place to get phở if you’re hungry at a late hour. The soup is a little bland but I like that they don’t use any MSG! The portions are also great for the price. My friend and I came here around 12:30AM and there was no wait so we sat down and ordered two #2’s(rare steak). You can choose to have your beef on the side raw and then put it in the water yourself if you don’t like overcooked beef. I didn’t do this though and just had the beef already in the soup. Not that much beef is given but again, you’re only paying ~$ 8. I recommend mixing the hoi sin sauce(black sauce) with the sriracha(red spicy sauce) to use as a dipping sauce for your meats! I would come back if I was seriously craving a bowl of phở past 12AM but I don’t see myself going out of my way to come here at a normal hour.

1. VERDICT/VALUE Cheap eats and no MSG — how can one turn that down? Even if it’s not the most authentic phở on the planet, you’re in for a good fix here! 2. FOOD There’s a fair selection of phở, fried noodles, fried rice, and appies to choose from. On this night, the Summer Rolls($ 4.95) were solid, well-wrapped, and featured big shrimp. It would have been perfect if the peanut sauce was warmed up. The Bo Vien Phở($ 7.50) was big in size — lots of noodles, onions, sprouts, and big chunks of beef meatballs. The claims of no MSG were comforting soup-wise; it’s not the most authentic bowl of phở you’ll get but it was good :) 3. SERVICE The lady serving us was really nice and the food came out in relatively short order. On a side note, the security guard helping direct traffic in the over-packed parking lot was pretty good in letting folks double-park and asking folks to move around when needed. 4. ATMOSPHERE It’s not going to hold large groups well, but the parties of 2 or 4 will working nicely in the simple yet modern and clean place. Come for a quick bite or a full sit-down catch-up-over-a-meal event, you’re gong to be comfortable here!
