Ordered via GrubHub and received Pho Ga (chicken), a spring roll appetizer, and Thai iced tea.
Delivery: The meal arrived securely packed in a large brown bag. Each item was individually contained to prevent spills. While the food was still hot upon arrival, the broth's temperature had slightly affected the container's integrity. Despite this, all items were intact.
Quality: Overall, the food was satisfactory. However, the side ingredients like bean sprouts, mint, and basil were sparse and not of the best quality. Only a fraction of these ingredients was usable. The chicken in the pho was a bit bland and slightly tough.
Taste: The pho broth, a pivotal component, was average at best. It seemed as though it might have been prepared from a seasoning pack. While not bad, it lacked depth and didn't stand out. However, with added ingredients like hoisen and a touch of spice, the taste improved. On a scale, it would be rated a 6 out of 10. The spring rolls offered a pleasant surprise with their crispy interior, enhancing the overall experience. The Thai iced tea was decent but not extraordinary.
Final Thoughts: For those seeking outstanding pho, this might not be your top pick. However, if you're near the USC campus and looking for a convenient option with decent pho, it's worth considering. As a USC student, I find it satisfactory for...

That said I like small bites and this gives me plenty of add on options if I want them. Also if you are a beverage person they absolutely have you covered. For once a can of coke is priced right in LA ($2). I might not be someone who has a crazy good food palette but I appreciate food that makes me feel cozy and healthy. It feels like a lot of love is put into some of the dishes here. If that’s your thing this is a good...
Read moreI had probably the worst Vietnamese food of my life from this place. I ordered the pork Bahn mi and the chicken pho. My two go to items. The pork in the sandwich tasted like it had been sauced with the most disgusting sauce I don't even know. Like some kind of over-concentrated over-fermented soy taste. I could barely taste any of the other ingredients over it. Gross. The pho was not much better. The chicken was like rubber. The broth was so overly sweet it was hard to enjoy. Nothing like the lovely herbal, medicinal tasting broth I hope for. This was the other end of the spectrum. Sugar water with no love in it whatsoever. Never,...
