It's Pho

This place was recommended by a chef from our church so we decided to check it out. It's in a shopping plaza with parking lot. I was able to get a spot right in the front :) We ordered Thai tea: good, Vietnamese ice coffee: very strong, fresh coconut juice: refreshing, beef combination pho: soup tasted a bit bland but was told they don't use msg so am happy it's healthy. The meat was soft and came w a huge bowl. The grilled chicken bowl: tasted healthy. The oxtail pho: spicy and soft and juicy and came in a metal bowl with fire to keep warm. I'd recommend this over the combination pho (I totally forgot to take a pic as I was already diving into my food lol). Vietnamese spicy chicken wing: very fancy...I wanted regular wings but did not mind eating wings covered in thick orange sauce w bit of spice. Over all: our waitress Cha was very friendly, helpful and informative. This is close to our church so we will be back again soon :)

I'm not sure who owns this restaurant, but it can't be Vietnamese. The food doesn't have any Vietnamese flavors at all. I ordered a Pork Vermicelli Bowl from the menu, expecting grilled pork, but they served me pork cooked in a way I can't even identify. I could even count only a total of 6 thin pork pieces and a few vegetables for a $15.59 meal. It was a terrible experience with this restaurant.

Pho Tai Bo Vien (Beef & Meatballs Pho) - 5 🌟! Vietnamese Fried Tofu - 5 🌟! The winter weather in Los Angeles in 2022/23 has been very chilly and often rainy. I am an ice cream in the summer and hot soup in the winter kind of guy, and pho is a perfect winter weather soup. It's Pho has a large and diverse Vietnamese menu, so it isn't just pho. It is a menu that features something for everyone. But I was there for the pho, and it was amazing. I am always impressed with how much flavor pho packs into a clear broth. I love to add hoisin and sriracha plus as many bean sprouts as they provide on the side. Toss in the cilantro and jalapeno, and I'm in soup heaven. I could eat good pho like this any time of the year, but pho is always something I get at least a few times during cold weather. It is a global comfort food. I also tried to fried tofu, and it was a tasty, light snack with crushed peanuts and a sweet+sour dip. It's Pho is in a small strip mall just off the tourist area of Hollywood Blvd, so parking is usually easy to find unless the strip mall is really busy.
