Pho N Mor — Restaurant in Alhambra

Got in little late & decided to UberEATS some food from this "new" Vietnamese restaurant. Flavors pretty solid but not best execution I've had.

ITEM'S ORDERED:

Garlic Noodle w/ Shaken Beef Spicy Basil Chicken w/ Rice

TASTE:

Garlic Noodle w/ Shaken Beef was executed ok. The beef being filet mignon was not as tender as expected, but not so bad. Has a more tame savory black pepper flavor with just a hint of sweetness. The noodles seemed either a little too al dente or maybe somewhat stale or old. Garlic flavor was a little too weak but not a bad flavor overall. There's green & red bell peppers as well as cilantro.

Spicy Basil Chicken w/ Rice was the winner in this meal. Very well seasoned & flavorful. Savory, but not overly salty & actually quite spicy as you continue to eat. Glad the rice was not overcooked & pairs well with the very flavorful sauce. There's green & red bell peppers as well as cilantro in this one as well.

Both entrees come with a little romaine lettuce side salad with tomatoes & pickled radish & carrots. Lightly sweet, vinegary mayo dress dressing which I liked. I did not like the ends of the romaine hearts being in there. They should always be discarded.

Everything was overly oily/greasy to the point you can just feel it all in your lips as you keep eating. At least it's all quite flavorful since it's really bad when it's all oily & lacking in flavor.

Everything was quite hot when it arrived. Did not have to reheat anything. I do live close to this restaurant though.

SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING:

UberEATS order so no direct comments on service.

All the food was packed well & I like that they gave garlic chili sauce which pairs well with these foods.

They are located in that somewhat new strip mall right across Costco off of Commonwealth & Date. You can enter on either of those streets. There's a shared parking lot which is usually easy to find a spot in. But it's still usually busy in there since the parking lot is not really big enough for all the businesses there.

Food was not a complete fail & flavors were mainly solid so I'm not opposed to getting food here again. Plus I'm just so close...

Inside of the San Gabriel Valley, this is one of many Vietnamese restaurants. Newly opened across from Costco, Pho n Mor provides decent Vietnamese cuisine at a higher than average price. As a restaurant, it caters to the newer generation of Vietnamese children from those who immigrated as Pho N Mor has a modern spin to the decor and food.

When I came here on the grand opening day, my party ordered 3 staple Vietnamese items: pho dac biet, bun bo hue, and com tam. Out of all of the dishes, I felt like only the pho was the redeeming factor. For the com tam, the meat is done well as it was seasoned, tender, and juicy. The rice was abundant, but lacked taste unless you doused the nuoc mum. I felt this was interesting since other places usually uses green onions, oil, and other spices to let it be a good dish even as a stand-alone. The egg was pretty tasteless -- even with nuoc mum -- and was also smaller than most places. In addition, they deviated from the typical vegetables which saddened me.

As for the bun bo hue, the soup lacked any dynamic flavor which I feel is a complete disgrace to the dish. It had a good amount of spice though which slightly redeemed the dish. The noodles were okay, but there was nothing special.

Last, but not least, the pho was best thing. The soup was tasty, and noodles, when eaten with the broth, were a good combination. The amount of vegetables they gave was a good amount and the lime was juicy enough to help balance the fatty flavor with some acidity.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the ambiance is mainly for newer generation. The music that they played seemed like it catered to 20-year olds and people who go to clubs/raves. For example, they played Odezza and Kygo.

All in all, I thought Pho n Mor fell short of my expectations. Out of the three dishes that we got, 1 was good, 1 was okay, and 1 was a disgrace. Combining that with the higher prices, I feel like this place deserves 2 stars. Since it is in the SGV, there are many more places which can provide better food at much better prices. Therefore, I feel like Pho n Mor is the "ugly duckling"...

BEWARE COMING HERE W BABIES YOU WILL GET KICKED OUT. I wish I could leave 0 stars because this place doesn't deserve not one star. I was with my daughter who is only a baby , not even a toddler. Mind you, she is a BABY. Babies make sounds all the time , babbles, and they get excited. My daughter made a few sounds about 3 times. When not only did I hear but the ladies next to us heard the waiter and manager making a comment. At first I thought nothing of it, until he came up to me and said it was getting out of control. I asked to speak to his manager ( Tammy) and in a rude tone tammy said she was the manager. I asked if there was a problem or complain with my daughter making sounds she told me we needed to get up and leave or take my daughter outside to calm her down. I asked if ANY costumer complained about it to her and she said no. However my daughter wasn't crying non stop, or throwing a tantrum. If she was , I would of taken her out. The manager proceeded by telling me my daughter sounded like a" fire Alarm." I genuinely feel racially discriminated and as if we were being targeted. I feel very emotionally distraught and I'm 3 months pregnant. I have never experienced anything like this , at any restaurant. I've gone to Olive Garden, BJS , that are much bigger restaurants and never have I once had a complaint. The ladies next to us felt so sorry for us and even agreed how ridiculous this was and apologized on their behalf for their attitudes. We didn't get one apology, or get approached...
