Came here and took my fiancee and her parents since they wanted to try pho. Me being Chinese and growing up in SGV and LA have had tried the best and the worst of almost any type of ethnic cuisine. My fiancee and her family being Mexican and from Littlerock, not so much.
So getting down to brass tacks. This is my personal review and opinion of this establishment with the experience of having tried other places especially in cities where other asian cultures thrive ie: garden grove, alhambra, san gabriel etc.
The order: 4 x large Pho (2 meat ball and brisket, 1 chicken, 1 steak and brisket) 2 x egg roll appetizer Total: $83.46
Personally the 4 and 5 star reviews are nuts. This place isn't anything more than a 3 at most. The place was way over priced for what it is (probably explains why this place isnt poppin) . The portions were under sized in comparison to what they say it is (the large is more of a medium) . And the service was horrible. The old dude was pretty rude in my opinion. He didnt seem to care if his resturant thrived or stayed stagnant.
The taste of the pho wasn't anything extravagent for the price and well fried egg rolls are just fried egg rolls. Anything fried is good. The pho being all 4 were larges lacked the meat content unlike other pho places that ive been to. The mixed veggies for the pho was missing the basil and the egg roll appetizers also lacked the lettuce.
The kicker was the dirty soup spoons on the table and the old menus. The menu prices have been changed and the original prices have been just blocked off by a labeling sticker. The new prices are unknown for some dishes. Perhaps this how they get away with just charging the customers with what ever price they want.
After our experience i let it saturate a few hours before writing this review. Honestly, this will be our first...
Read moreReally flavorful Vietnamese food for a low price.
Vietnamese Noodles is a small family-owned restaurant offering takeout and eat in dining.
It's located in a mini mall with free parking. The menu has grilled chicken, pork and steak, pho noodles soup and a few other soups and stews.
Takeout whole chicken is a fantastic bargain since the more chicken you order, the better the bargain.
I met the owner, who told me that business is suffering since the pandemic and he was unable to afford some restaurant features, like a soda fountain.
The food is great here. I recommend ordering ahead and getting a big order for the best deal. The owner is happy to give customers advice about specials and how to get the most value per your taste.
The grilled chicken is really good it's marinated, tangy, a little sweet, caramelized, juicy, and slightly blackened by charcoal. It's served with sticky steamed rice, salad, and dipping sauce.
This dish is around 8 dollars, a whole grilled chicken, with sides is about $12. Vietnamese Noodles offers catering, and platter sized portions for special occasions and events.
I will definitely be ordering from here often. Definitely...
