Rainy days call for a warm bowl of soup, and this spot delivered. Lunchtime was definitely busy, so expect a bit of a crowd. Parking is limited since the business shares a lot with other shops.Service was ok. The ambiance was lively, with customers conversation filling the space, making it a bit noisier than average.Now, the soup: the beef broth was fantastic, rich but not heavy, well-balanced without being too watered down. The large portion was generous and easily enough for two people to share.

I really enjoyed coming to this place. I've been craving this dish for a long time. I made sure that I ordered a large house special. That's gonna have a lot in it. Give yourself some time to enjoy it. I wanna try more of the appetizers next time because the food here is prepared so ridiculously well that you just have to keep eating For a variety of drinks from alcoholic to nonalcoholic me? I had to have the Vietnamese coffee as it was the middle of the afternoon and a favorite of mine I found the portions incredible I enjoy having water with lime, but I also order extra peppers which helps with the vitamin vitamin C intake lol the service is incredibly fast, but the food is very well prepared. I found this to be a great deal.!

The pho here was kind of disappointing because the broth wasnt as flavorful as it should've been compared to other pho I've ate before. But their charcoaled pork plate was amazing, that made up for it. The meat had a smokey taste to it was it was seasoned well. Their service is super fast, not sure if thats a good thing because it could mean they premade the food already instead of cooking it fresh.The other plus that is there's parking. That's super rare in LA.

Delicious pho with amazing service, food, and interior design. We really enjoyed our meal and the prices were extremely affordable. I got the chicken pho and my friend got the veggie pho bc she's vegan but she loved it! A very reliable, homey, and cost-efficient meal

Solid pho with a wide menu. Came in on a Saturday night alone and was immediately seated. Food came out fast for a packed restaurant and I love that they leave water at the table. Place was constantly crowded but has a big and accessible parking lot, great for a casual dinner.

Since I moved to LA, I've been looking for an authentic Vietnamese spot, and I'm so glad I checked out @pholegend.ktown ! As someone who goes to OC a lot/is from San Jose, my standards for Vietnamese food are really high, so it was nice finding a solid spot with an extensive menu of their signature beef/chicken pho noodle bowls, as well as traditional Vietnamese dishes such as broken rice, vermicelli and banh mi. As a broke student, I appreciated the reasonable menu pricing (yes, I'm side-eyeing some other Vietnamese spots that charge $80 for pho LOL), and everything we ordered was made well and HUGE in portion. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're in Ktown and craving authentic Vietnamese food that won't break the bank!

wow i'm ready to be back!!! I knew this place was legit when I saw the avocado smoothie on the menu and ordered that expeditiously. everything we had was absolutely delicious from the house special pho, to the pork chop rice dish, to the egg rolls (viet egg rolls are the best), vermicelli bowl to the banh mi!!! so happy to find a spot closer to me than trekking across to sgv. the service was great, the people who work here are the sweetest!

I have been to this restaurant many times. Today, their service has been terrible. They only had one waiter for the entire restaurant. The quality was the same. However, the only waiter they had today was overwhelmed and was missing simple items like a glass of ice for my coke, the extra fish sauce and my order came very late.

Decent pho in Ktown!I'm usually skeptical of pho places in Ktown because they don't seem authentic, but I'd say this spot is closer to the traditional style.I got the rare steak and brisket pho and it was pretty good. Wasn't a fan of how clumped the noodles were at the bottom, so it was a bit hard to eat. The flavor itself is great though. The meat was also pretty decent.When I went the restaurant was busy so it did take some effort to flag down staff for things like condiments and the bill.

Yummy!! It's hard to find delicious and authentic pho spots in LA, especially in K-Town, but this one is a classic goodie! I went recently with a friend for lunch and got their pho dac biet (house special) and it was the perfect hangover cure! I thought the meat portion was generous, even for a regular size (you have the option also for a large if you'd like), and the broth was tasty! If you're in the area, I think this is a great option to try!
