Pacific Noodle House — Restaurant in Compton

Very disappointed, first (and last) time customer. Got the combination beef bowl and the only positive I can say is that the basil and bean sprouts were fresh. What I'm assuming was the brisket looked freeze-dried, if not frozen and thawed. The meatballs looked disgusting and were flavorless. The other beef looked and smelled like tripe (didn't bother tasting it) The broth itself was lukewarm and also flavorless. The worst item I purchased, however, was the "Thai" iced tea with boba. This drink was absolutely horrible. Instead of the tea and milk being prepared/poured to order, It was premade and stored in their drink fridge behind the register. Had I seen this before picking up my order I wouldn't have bothered, but this was my first time. The boba was clear and mushy and tinged orange just from the tea. I took one sip and spit it out because it was that terrible and clearly, not fresh. It tasted like a weird, almond milk and sugar concoction; not even close to authentic Thai iced tea OR boba. A complete waste of $20+. Had I not paid with cash, I would have gotten my money back. No exaggeration, it was THAT bad. The positive reviews are shocking and...

Review for food, not restaurant. Was in the mood for a banh mi sandwich, and didn't want a burger. I got the grilled pork sandwich and it was very underwhelming.

Price was around $10 with tax. Most expensive banh mi I've ever bought. Bread was warm but not toasty. Seriously skimped on the veggies. See image. The banh mi had a slight sweet taste to the spread that wasn't overwhelming. Pork was seasoned well and tasted good.

Would I buy again? No. Too costly for what you get. If they worked on the toasty bread, filled in more veggies, added another 10% -15% more meat, then it is a maybe. It's not their fault because taxes are making food...

I live in the ghetto and I didn't want to drive far to have a decent meal. I was in the mood for Pho, there's no Pho in the ghetto, only ghetto food. Luckily today was a good day and thanks to Google I didn't have to drive that far to find this new place which instantly became my favorite. I was really surprised that I found such a good tasty Pho so close to the ghetto. This place was nice and clean, the staff was very nice. The food was delicious and affordable. The spicy house sauce added even more delicious flavor to my Pho. The house sauce is a must. I am very happy with my choice today. I highly recommend this place. You will...
