Pho Ever - Gardena — Restaurant in Gardena

I have been coming to this place for years with my children and parents and sadly, I must give this restaurant a low review.

On Father’s Day, my son decided to take me to Pho Ever. We ordered food from a young latina waitress and two beers. My son is thirty years old and I am sixty years old with grey hair. The waitress said to me that she has to see my ID because of restaurant policy. I give her my ID and she stares at it for five seconds and then gives it back. She spends less than a second with my son’s ID before she gives it back to him. The food comes and everything is great like it has always been in the past.

Having a quiet discussion regarding personal family issues, the waitress suddenly appears at the table and saids “Did you want something?” I said “No, we did not waved you over”

The waitress then said “You have been here too long, you can only stay one hour” and then pointed to a paper that is taped to the wall (The 1 hour limit was in tiny print). Granted, we were only there for 30 minutes tops and there were empty tables and the restaurant was not busy.

We both quietly got up and paid the bill.

After years of coming to the Pho Ever restaurant with various generations of my family, none of us will be coming back. My Father's Day...

Dont bother... just keep driving... i use to come here 20 years ago when it was an ayce korean bbq. Well it has changed hands a few times but they kept the exact same decor with the nasty fake plants. Its really gross, dirty, n just nasty. We wanted to leave the moment we got there but we went for the spring rolls. So being a Vietnamese restuarant with no Vietnamese employees visable added more to my uneasiness. I asked for a side bowl of plain white rice. They had to check if they had rice... seriously.... then they charged $6 dollars for it. Like your just thieves.... The combo pho was ok on the sweet side. We figured it was loaded with msg.... well im now thirsty and itching so yes there is a lot of msg. The deep fried tofu was 9 bucks for a small plate but the 2 tiny itty bitty fried eggrolls was a joke for $6.45 my friend said it tasted frozen so i didnt bother eating mine. Now as to the springrolls with chicken n sausage they were very good 8/10. So you can see my bill. I added 10 bucks for a tip so $80 bucks for 2 people to sit in a dump to get frozen eggrolls and $6 dollar bowls of rice... wow run away as...

This place by far the best place, it has a nice set up. The food I order was really good as I expected. The noodle broth was well balance and has that nice soothing flavor, that's the first thing I do before I eat it. Is to taste the broth first to see how the flavor is before I eat the noodle. The spring roll was well nicely done, it was nice and fresh I can taste the freshness. The reason why gave it a (5 stars) Because as food critic there's things you look for when you dine in.

1). As you walk in how is the atmosphere and set up like. 2).Greeting and service. 3).The menu was nicely done. 4). Ordering was properly taken care of. 5). The food was really good and flavorful.

I order the special spring roll and spicy noodle (Bun Bo Hue) and my friend order the combination Pho noodle which he was complimenting how good it was on our way there. We were really satisfied. And I would really recommend it to friends and families if they're around the area. My next try is the (Hot Pot)...
