Wanted to try Viet on Fletcher. it’s much closer to my house than my regular pho place. It also had great reviews. I figured how could I go wrong. Maybe I even had a new, regular pho place.
Unfortunately my experience didn’t match up to the reviews. I ordered tofu fresh rolls, fried egg rolls and beef pho.
Tofu fresh rolls. The rolls were ok. They were on the small side. They didn’t have a lot of vegetables. The tofu was really good though. The peanut sauce was too sweet for my taste. More sweet than peanut flavor.
Fried egg rolls. These were ok. A little on the small side as well. The number of rolls was small too. 3 as opposed to 5, which I’m used to. I guess I can look at it as good for the diet. Less fried food. My doctor will be happy.
Beef pho. The broth was ok. Not super flavorful and not super bland. I’d say 6/10. There also wasn’t a lot of the broth. I have bowls I use for pho when I get it. The broth was only about half the amount I’m used to. Not really a big deal if you don’t usually finish your broth. Also disappointing was lime was a tiny little piece of a lime. I’d guess it was 1/16 of a lime. It was like a little corner of a lime. It was cute. But sadly, I love the lime juice in my broth. So I missed the rest of the lime.
People are right. The place was spotless....
Read moreA welcome pleasant surprise to have a Vietnamese option in Glassell Park. Certainly, most understand that great Vietnamese food will lead you to a drive elsewhere in Southern California. This is a good alternative. Strictly speaking, the Pho quality is above average. The broth is flavorful, however lacks depth at this price point. The ungenerous portion of beef can also leave you hungry. The slices of steak also seemed like an afterthought, as it was tough in texture. The brisket alternative was also not the tender pieces that other restaurants may serve. Ingredients are freshly served and done with care. Spring Rolls are well constructed, and the Crispy Rolls have tender chicken. $9 for an order of 3 will leave your party of 4 in an awkward order. Vermicelli and rice noodles are also fresh and served intact. The restaurant is located in a small space with very limited customer parking. Street parking is your best choice. Online ordering is easy, and the kitchen does an excellent job at packing takeaways. An absolute plus to this restaurant is how clean the dining area is, and the service is quick...
Read moreWe heard about this place through a coworker and we decided to check it out. We were surprised by how clean and new the building looks compared to the rest of the street, the only down side is the lack of parking. When we came inside we were greeted warmly by our server and she told us to choose a seat. She handed us a very neat and easy to read menu and gave us time to choose. The wait time is reasonable and when our food arrived I knew this would be a regular spot for us. We ordered the Special Phó, special Banh Mi, and Special Vermicelli. The Pho is my absolute favourite and I’ll definitely be returning when I have a craving. The banh mi has a perfectly crunchy bread and just the right amount of spice from jalapeños and delicious pickled veggies. The beef in the vermicelli is perfectly seasoned and the spring roll and that perfect crunch. Over all our experience was pleasant and welcoming if you’re looking for a cute restaurant and want a warm delicious meal this is the place to go!
Bonus if you like supporting a mom and pop shop this is a great place to choose, the owner was really...
