Pho Redbo — Restaurant in Rolling Hills Estates

Another pho place in Rolling Hills! There are a lot to cover!

To the point Taste: SUPER Vibe and Service: AWESOME Price: A bit too expensive for pho Recommended: YES Returning?: No (but could be for you!)

Vibe You can tell that this place is new by new furnitures and various utensils, kitchen area and etc. When you first walk into it, it definitely looks fancier than any normal pho restaurant. You might believe it if you think that it's a bbq or burger restaurant.

Servers They were very nice! No negative experience with them

Price As you can see from the menu, prices of food is a bit too high, considering a pho place. In general, you wouldn't expect to see $20+ pho before tax. I definitely didn't expected it because pho is something that you can eat without even thinking about prices (meaning less than $20). However, when you taste it, you do understand why. Again, I think it's too expensive.

Food Thai tea It came in a cute juice bottle and a cup of ice. And no, it doesn't taste like a normal Thai tea. It tastes like Thai tea tasting yogurt. I'd recommend drinking it after mixing with some water.

Wagyu Egg Roll I have to admit, it was one of the best beef egg roll I've tasted! It was rich with flavor and packed!

Oxtail pho Okay. This is when I understood why this pho place is expensive. Their soup was good (4.5/5), noodle was not bad (3.5/5), size was definitely big and filling (5/5) but meat quality was really really good (10/5)!!! I didn't expect such quality meat. When you eat it, it really melts in your mouth! I gotta admit, meat can basically cover the remaining points of noodle and soup.

Wagyu Fried Rice It was good but they can definitely tone down on meat. Too much meat.

Comments I liked everything here. Overall definitely recommended for everyone to visit. If you want high-end pho place, you might actually really like it here. For me, since I'm just so used to "pho-like" pho (for example, Pho Hana & Saigon Bistro) with normal pricing, I would be happy to eat where I used to eat. Don't get me wrong though! Great...

While the food here was fairly good, it took us over an hour to actually receive our bowls of pho. It took 15 minutes to be seated at a basically empty restaurant and took 25-30 minutes to actually have our order taken after being sat. It seemed like they didn't even assign a waiter to us until we had to stop someone to ask if we could actually order. The server who worked our table was very sweet, but we felt as if we were ignored when trying to get the attention of any server after waiting for so long. The service was so slow that my party and I almost left the restaurant multiple times, but decided not to as since we already waited so long to order we might as well continue to wait for our pho. The table next to us was able to order 3 minutes after being sat, so we're not exactly sure why our table was not served in the same timely manner. The food is pretty good, but the service needs a lot of...

Finally, a true Vietnamese pho spot, where the soup has very low MSG, and still tastes top quality! The flavors are authentic and the “flat noodles” are fresh noodles at no extra cost. The quality of the meat is very good, and the broth is one of the best. How were we so lucky to get this in the South Bay? The owner has two locations in OC, and we are really getting a treat to have this in Palos Verdes. The Shaken Beef is VERY GOOD as well! If you have kids that are 5 years old and younger, they get a “baby bowl” of plain pho in soup! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner. He’s very friendly and passionate about the quality he serves to our community. Very good service, and...
