Pho Vinh Ky 2

I was looking for a place to eat with a group around midnight during the weekday and I found this place was charging $8 for a regular bowl of pho and $10 for the large so I had to check it out. The workers were super chill and there were only a few customers besides us there. I got the dac biet which I would rate at about a 3.5/5. The portions itself were great for both the meat and the noodles but when I come to a pho shop I look at the quality/quantity of the meat and the quality of the broth. The broth department was a bit lacking which dropped it down to a 3.5, but honestly... it's easily a 4.5 considering the price and convenience. Will be back again if I'm around the area late night.

We initially went to Pho 79, but once we saw that line, we quickly turned around and Yelp another pho in the area. We saw Pho Vinh Ky, literally across the street with plenty parking. Sure it doesn't have the best reviews, but a lot is based on service... which we all know is not a thing at a pho shop. We came in, pretty empty. The lady saw us getting out the car and already anticipated our party, so we got in and the table was set with a baby high chair too. Great! We both got the Dac biet. At first it didn't look like a lot of protein, but once we dig in and moved the plentiful noodles, there was a lot of protein. They even gave us another bowl, scissors and plastic utensils for the baby without even asking. The pho itself wasn't bad! It beats a lot of pho in San Diego. The broth was flavorful and it didn't make me numb. Usually I get numb in my throat and back of the neck when a pho has too much msg. But I was ok! Everything went well. A no frills, quick easy pho shop! Even 50% for pho Bo (just beef). The pho definitely was ok the cheaper side. It hit the spot. In and out in less than 30 minutes!

For the price the pho was pretty good. You can't find many pho places that are around $10 these days so couldn't beat the prices. The signs on the window are a little misleading as it says 50% off. We asked the waitress which items for 50% and she listed like 3 of the pho items, however when we went to pay it was the price on the menu not half of the menu price. Still cheap for pho but the signs and communication from staff were misleading. We ordered the combo beef pho and a veggie pho. The broth was very flavorful and there was quite a bit of meat in the beef pho. They offer 2 sizes. We ordered the beef pho in the large size and the veggie pho as the regular size. The veggies and broth were good for the veggie pho but I was not a fan of the tofu they used. They use the fried puff tofu that's airy in the middle so had no substance and didn't go well inside soup. It's the type of tofu that would taste great salt and peppered fried on its own. Most places I've ordered veggie pho from use the firm tofu. Overall decent for the price, service was typical, cash only restaurant. Would go back if in the area.

It's not easy finding an eatery that's open after midnight but I was determined since I worked up an appetite during the Billy Joel concert.I was actually in route to another pho joint but saw this eatery. Parking lot was pretty full, so you know that's a great sign. The inside is clean and quite large so they can accommodate many parties.Come to find out Pho Vinh Ky was running a bowl of pho for under $10.00 An awesome deal since bowls of pho are now ranging from $14 to $22 a bowl in So Cal. The pho was tasty especially after a night of drinking and contained a generous amount of protein and fresh condiments.I'll surely return to Pho Vinh Ky in the future.

Pretty damn good pho. Of course I'm in the middle of the pho capitol of SoCal, but still. Service was great, food was cheap, and parking was a breeze. Great for a quick pho fix.

It was late at night and thankfully this place was open. The service was almost too quick because once we sat down they took our order immediately. We ordered Pho Duoi Bo (oxtail), Pho Dac Biet (Special) and a side of onions with vinegar. I thought the broth was a little lacking because you can barely taste it. Thankfully they had sauces on the side to add. The meats however were nicely cooked and were pretty flavorful. The service was okay since after they gave us the food, they were no where to be seen. There is plenty of parking and a lot of tables inside. I would rate this place higher if only the broth was a little better! Still feel free to come for same late night pho!

ORDERpho tai chin (3/5)$7 for pho is unbeatable, however, the price reflects the portion and flavor. the broth lacked flavor and the portion is smaller than most places. there was a good amount of meat considering it was only $7.SERVICEquick service. we were seated right away and our food came out quick as well.AMBIANCEvery big restaurant with plenty of seats.

A 30 year-old pho place on busy Brookhurst had 50% OFF BEEF SOUP sign hanging outside for years. I wondered 50% off what? and hesitated to go in. Just too many good Pho places nearby to waste time checking out a potential gimmick.Friends from out of town wanted to try discount Pho places, so I called, confirmed prices and operating hours. Regular pho bowl $8.25, big bowl $10, also many other Viet dishes with reasonable prices, open from 9 AM to 3AM. Pho Thanh on Bolsa is open 24/7, but has no discount. It owns the 2 Vinh Ky locations and another new Pho Thanh at corner Euclid and Garden Grove, all had signs $7.99 Pho Special. These locations have larger customer base. Workers are professional, courteous and efficient.This place was nice, clean, smelling neutral, virtually empty at dinner hours. This pho is much better than average, a very good deal for $8. There was plenty of various cuts of meats, rare eye round, brisket, chuck, tendon, tripe, all tasty and good. Rice noodle is Southern, more like hu tiu, lacking the squiggly texture of fresh Northern noodle. The broth was clear, tasty, full of beef taste and aroma, without excess sugar and other spices. Pho is served with bean sprout, mint and fresh pepper. To boost the creamy taste, I usually request extra rendered fat with scallion and sour onion gratis. I could not finish the $10 big bowl. The $10 big bowl is enough for 2 people at home. Just reheat the broth and serve. Take out orders are carefully packaged. Even today, Vietnam has little or no refrigeration for their meats and seafoods. They are usually spoiled by the time they arrive at the market then consumers. That's why Viet cuisine uses lots of spices and herbs to mask unpleasant odors. If the food is fresh, there is no reason to overcharge it with spices.I suggested to the management to hang a clear sign of $8.25 Pho Special so potential customers know exactly what they are paying without having to go in to check.Pho Thanh has found a good business formula for franchising pho. This pho place is recommended for dine in and take out. Keep a big pho bowl in the fridge and have a big hot pho at home whenever you want to.

This spot is my favorite go-to pho restaurant! I always come here with my boyfriend at least once every 1-2 weeks. The price for the pho is fantastic and the condiments they give us is a lot! A lot of people in these reviews complain about language barrier and I understand their frustration, but I feel like they could've just point at the item on the menu instead of saying the number to make it less complicated. My boyfriend speaks Vietnamese so I may be biased, but I say my order in English and later ask for more water and they understand just fine. They open super late, which is great for late night cravings. We also love their chili oil and can't get enough of it honestly, and the staff here are super sweet, one of the ladies complimented my perfume :) will always come back here for my craving for pho Ps the place is cash only

Our favorite pho place! We use to come here at 2 am precovid and it's always the same great service and food. I love their shrimp pho and fried egg rolls. Fried rice is always delicious as well. Their servings are big on the pho. I usually do the small and it's satisfying all the time. But I also have sides Place doesn't look exciting from outside but it's a must! Definitely recommend
