This place is a traditional spot. They have amazing food. The service is great they always make sure you get taken care of. The lobby gives off a traditional viet lobby. I love that e need more of this in California . Bring back mom and pop shops this is for sure a hidden gem:

Love this place. Haven't been in probably a year. Walked here to find the hours changed. But they have not on Google on Apple Maps on Yelp and so on. Bummer. Just asked Yelp to update so at least it is accurate on Yelp. There was a worker inside relaxing at the table on his phone, it was dark and clearly closed sadly at 4:30. Fortunately I only have to wait 30 mins and today I can do it, but would have sucked if not!

Très horrible! If I could give 0 stars I would. Beyond terrible. I can't even begin to tell you. You're better off going to Pho Show which is down Sepulveda about 3 min north of this place.

You know those restaurants in the middle of Michigan that are called "Oriental kitchen" and have chinese, korean, and japanese food, but also chicken nuggets. And the local white people eat it up? That's what this feels like, but the west LA version. The good:- The pho soup and noodles were good- The egg rolls were pretty good!The medium:- chicken wings were "standard" per by partner The bad:- service. Looks like it's a common issue but takeout took much longer than they said it would take. Probably took 20 minutes longer than they said it would, even our door dash driver was pissed. - see the photo of the "crispy tofu" salad. Hella over cooked, super hard and stale to chew, the fact that an establishment feels okay serving that level of mess up to someone that paid for that is wild.- The meat in the pho was TOUGH. My bf and I got different types of meat and both of them were really tough, like where you keep chewing forever and it balls up into a dry collection of meat that you can't swallow. Again, the low level of quality control is disheartening. Instead of a kind and homey family owned restaurant it feels like the greed to try to expand to different types of asian food resulted in poor management and delivery of goods. I love finding local small businesses like cafe brazil and plank 47 pizza and Fresh Pita Organic Express, but this isn't it.

I have been coming to 5i technically for years and I always found them to be consistent. I hadn't been in at least 4 years since I left the Culver City area. I was a bit shocked to find that the inside looked a little ran down and messy as they were using the front for storage. I got the impression they moved to pickup rather than dine-in over the years. The person who helped me was really nice and even though I took a bit longer to pick it up my noodles were warm and my spring rolls were not soggy. The spring rolls are a good size and the peanut sauce is the best I've tasted! I got the dry tom yum noodles and those were still as good as I remember. The leftovers lasted 3 days. The portions are good and they are consistent like I remember them be.

Found this metal object from the food (order through instacart) and there is no way to get to the restaurant for complain. No one answers the phone number. Wow.

I have been coming here/takeout for the past 7 years it's got tgreat prices & portions. fresh from scratch tastes the same if not better every time.. I have never been disappointed . I have celiacs.THE AMOUNT OF AMAZING gluten free options Unmatched.. Honey walnut shrimp best I've ever had in my life. The bbq pork. The pineapple fried rice out of this world. They never miss a beat on flavor no matter how busy they are. The owners are so sweet! Every time the service is amazing. THE BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD IN L.A.

Ordered pick up on DoorDash, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance.However,I ordered the Pho Tai and the Shrimp Spring RollsSpring Rolls, 7.2 - too stuffed so it fell apart as you ate it, making a solid bite hard to get. There was a light citrus-type flavor I'm assuming from the mint, I could see some people really liking that part about it but it was not for me. The shrimp were great sized and tasted perfect. Peanut sauce, 8.5: almost exactly what I'm looking for in a peanut sauce. Creamy but easy to spread, very tasty. I don't feel there was enough sauce in the container and the flavor wasn't strong enough to use it sparinglyBroth, 9,2: incredible. I took a step back and said wow that's good. I will add a bit of sriracha for more of a kick. But no notes really, just going to be hard to give anyone a perfect score
