They attempted to sell Boiling Crab type seafood, it was a mistake. Vietnamese food plus adding seafood! You would already know that would be a bad idea. I decided to give it a try anyways. I ordered the their Combo A which came with 3 pounds of seafood and a few pieces of their side. Crawfish, Shrimp, and calms Medium Spicy. The spiciness was this thick powder based that left your mouth grainy. It was a disappointed, but I didn’t expect much from this anyways. As from that the serious was mediocre, it is family owned and its nice to see them working well. 2 stars for that

I travel for work all over California and i have eaten phở at hundreds of restaurants, and this place serve the best tasting Phở. The broth is perfect and not too oily, it has the right amount of meat and with good quality. Also the price is right. I fully recommend this place if you want good clean tasting Phở. Try it and you won’t be disappointed…

Good quickie lunch option. I tried the charbroiled pork with broken rice. The grilled pork had a nice balanced sweet charbroiled flavor. Honestly I don’t know the difference between«broken» rice and«unbroken» rice, but the rice tasted like… well…rice. The price is right here where you can decide if you want some decent Vietnamese food or McDonald’s. Service was as expected for a $ Asian restaurant. Parking is ample in the adjacent lot. During my dining experience, I watched a half episode of some old 80’s TV show. Kinda of random. Worth checking out once.

This review is for the broken rice only. I’m not sure why I decided on rice … just one of those days. Coworkers I came with ordered noodle soup and enjoyed their bowls very much, looked good, definitely had buyers remorse. Charbroiled pork with«baked egg» The fish sauce was interesting. Usually is more savory and sweet. This one is more tangy and mild. The pork was cooked, didn’t have the crispy ends, a bit under seasoned. Usually the fish sauce compliments both the rice and pork; however, my mouth felt none of the dish complimented one another. Even the rice itself was overcooked, starchy. First time I’ve had broken rice where I disliked it. I’m at a loss for words really. To finished, I asked to add the baked egg that was clearly written on the menu«Baked Egg add $ 1.» I got a fried egg over easy. Sad.

If i can give zero, I will! really disappointed, I went yesterday order to go, the lady can’t speak any english, which is fine, when we try to communicate, she run to the kitchen show me the package of noodles I want, I say«yes! thank you ! «. When I reach home, I am excited want to enjoy my foods(which is just one order, sea foods noodles) but the broth! terrible! I almost throw out, is like«salty water«inside! I can’t even drink, I dont’ know what’s wrong with her? she make the broth way too salty! first I was thinking may be she accidently add too much salt? but the more I look clear, that’s hair inside also! more than 3 or 4 ! OMG! Eek ! I almost want to bring back or call the owner to complaint! but second thought, I think only less than $ 7, what can i say? forget it, is my bad luck today, I just wish she didn’t’ do this on purpose! if you go, pls make sure you tell them ahead the broth don’t add 10 big spoonful of salt!

Place is small and the Phở is good I usually get the all meat Phở and bae gets the chicken and an ordered shrimp spring rolls with veggie rolls as well. No beer that’s ok because they have TV and a fish tank with a nice decore.

Small family owned place. I had the rare steak phở and it was ok. Not too salty or greasy. I also had the fresh spring rolls and they make it the way I like it with not too much noodles inside. Good service. There’s a tv inside. I will be back especially because I can grab some boba right next door.

IF I could give this place 0 stars I would. Are these reviews fake!!! Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised. I got take out and it was literally so disgusting I had to throw it away. The fish actually tasted like there was something wrong with it. I am so upset, I have literally never had worse phở in my entire life. don’t come here. Absolutely disgusting.

drive thru phở isn’t so bad. I only got an order of spring rolls and shrimp phở. Most of the other food on the drive thru menu looks pretty good . The spring rolls: okay, not the freshest, I guess they make them a day before(assuming from how dry the lettuce was on the inside): the peanut sauce was kinda watery and it had no nuts /carrots on top :/ The phở: I’m still waiting for it at the drive thru parking lot …

Visiting from Las Vegas and this place is just better. Very friendly staff and food is just yummy to the tummy! Highly recommend if you are in the area. They change the name now to Saigon Noodle & Grill.

Nice place, quiet. Liked the phở, the beef one had everything, raw, flank, well done, balls, etc. And the medium was a good size.

The name has changed, but it is still the same awesome owners and employees. This place is excellent. I love the food and the service. The servers Tony and Brian are awesome. Very personable, social, attentive, extremely friendly and just plain cool. This a restaurant I enjoy giving business to. I have been coming here for three years now. Everytime I come here its always an enjoyable experience. Everything on the menu is killer rad. Nothing on the menu has disappointmented me. Its exciting for me to eat here.

Excellent hidden place. The service here is great. I tried the chicken phở and it so delicious. It hit the spot because I am currently sick. I really like this place. I am coming back.

I never give a place 5 stars after only one visit, and I hardly give it 4 stars after only one visit. Maybe it’s because I was hung over or I wasn’t. Either way I loved the servixe. Especially the long haired fellow that was waiting on us and playing with his 3 year old niece which was adorable and liked my beard, I don’t mind kids approaching me and being playful. Anyhow, I don’t understand how people said this place is bland, I love to eat phó, love to try different places, and have even learned to make it, though my stock comes out very dark. This place was perfect for serving the community, you have to be considerate that they can’t make it overly flavorful as not everyone can tolerate strong flavor. Me personally I like it very strong but it was fine just as it was served. I will definitely be coming back. Now only if they served beer! I’d come back more often

tip: located in a relatively quiet plaza. All phở is under $ 6 which is a great deal. But that’s pretty much where it ends. The broth was very light and it came out like it was mixed in with water and microwaved. Noodles were good, generous amounts of bean sprouts, the tendon was very chewy to the point of inedible. Other meats such as brisket and tripe were good but not as much as you’d expect(can’t expect more from a small bowl of $ 5.25 anyway!). Other rice dishes warrant another visit. Décor was modern and clean which is a nice surprise.

Small family place, but they get busy, more people started coming in after me. Came here for the first time even though i live down the street. I would rank this place as #2 of all the phở places I had. They were very helpful because it’s small so it’s easy to help customers, not like other phở places they would just ignore you or walk pass by you.

Review # 1000 dedicated to Vietnamese. Tender love, is how I describe the noodles. So soft, so savory, so moist, I ate them with fork, chop sticks and spoon. This is, the opinion of a Mexican-American guy from Los Angeles, me. The sprouts were crunchy, the mint leaf was potent, the beef was pleasant but the noodles stood out to me the most. The chicken and rice was pleasant and delightful, the two sauces on the side set it off. The seating had a good shade away from the hot sun. The person serving was very cordial. Parking is easy during lunch since this plaza is not overly populated. This restaurant is on a fairly busy Peck Road. A massage parlor is across the street from the restaurant, I did not try it. Tendor Phở, tendor Phở, tender Phở, your kindess I surrender to. Song parody of Force MD’s 1985 song«Tender Love» Here I wait all alone Hunger yearning Longing for some of your Tender Phở I’m waiting for the right Moment to come So I can review more All the tender Phở you’ve given to me Tender Phở Phở so tender Make me dream of you Baby I surrender Warm broth that warms my heart Now I see how Lovely the feelings are All the tender Phở you’ve given to me I want you more and more Can’t resist you Ooh I can’t get enough Tender Phở Love for you right from the start Bring me nearer Please let me be a part Of the tender Phở you giving to me Tender Phở Phở so tender Make me dream of you Baby I surrender Ooh yeah, surrender baby oooh yea la la, la la la la la la la ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ahhhhhh haaaaa, aaaaa please let me be apart ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Wow, I must’ve done something great at work this Monday to get blessed with coming across this delicious noodle house! I have to say, this has to be my new favorite restaurant to go to in the City of Industry! What I ordered was so good that I still have the menu item’s number lingering in mind. I devoured #42 on the menu — Fish Filet & Seafood Rice Noodle(they serve it dry or in a broth — I opted for the dry version). If you’re a fan of Teo Chiu dry noodles, you’ll love this dish. One of my favorite comfort foods is from Kim Ky restaurant in SGV but this dry rice noodle bowl from Beef Noodle House was actually even better than Kim Ky’s! The dish was so flavorful and filled with the garlic onion’s sweet and savory aroma. I got a little teary when I was down to my last bite. The phở was also great. Now that I’m reflecting, the phở tasted as if there was no MSG involved. I barely touched my free water and I barely reached for water when I got home! I normally have to drink a liter of water after a phở escapade. I highly recommend giving this nice little hole in the parking lot a try. Parking is plentiful. Service was great! The gentleman who took care of us throughout our meal was polite and sweet. I cannot wait to start frequenting this restaurant more and you bet I will have repeats on order #42.
