The plates were big portions, I think it's worth the price they charge for each & it does taste good. I got the Pho with brisket, tripe & tendon & it was a lot of those in the bowl for $10.95 XL. The spring rolls we're a decent size too, then they cut it in half with the peanut sauce, sooo good. I also ordered their Thai tea with boba but it's not blended, it's with ice, it's alright. The service was excellent! By the time we left the place, it was packed.
Great Vietnamese staple in Carson. Great outdoor seating, fully enclosed and covered. Very spacious. Allowed us to bring my Two wheeled stand up electric kick scooter into the outdoor area. Very accommodating. Good food, fast service. I love the house special. Right on Carson Street so can be a little loud even though the outdoor areas enclosed.
Been here a few times now and decided to give them a proper review. It's been since before the pandemic started and came her last night. I ordered #69 Rice plate which comes with shrimp paste in bean curd sheet fried up real crispy, baked egg, bbq-pork chop over rice, and served with a sweet fish sauce which makes it just the right enhancement for flavor. Wifey got their brisket pho & our daughter chowfun with different kinds of meats. Everything was delicious and a close comparison to Pho Fula in La Habra. The place is clean, organized, have great service that's friendly and makes you feel at home. The chef came out and made sure everything was great with a sense of humor. We'll be back to try other things on their menu.
Everything was exceptional, from the ample parking lot to great customer service, to savory food & plentiful portions.
I always make sure to have lunch here whenever I am in the area for grocery shopping. They serve the best calamari and grilled pork bbq in a spring roll or vermicelli bowl or over rice and egg plate. Don't forget to order their yang chao fried rice too if you are dining in a group. Plenty of parking too.
Got a pork bahn MI and it was sooooo good. had little crispy lechon chicharron bits mixed in with the regular pork meat for a tasty extra crunch!
