Phở Hanoi — Restaurant in West Covina

This is my favorite Pho place in the West Covina area. I have been coming here since I moved here in 2015 and my mom and I are grateful to have found it.

First the location. This place sits in a plaza across the street from the West Covina mall and sits in the same plaza as a PetsMart. There is always parking here as this plaza rarely gets packed.

The interior of this place is really traditional as there is hints of Vietnamese decor scattered throughout the walls. There is plenty of seating and the restaurant never gets to busy where you have to wait.

The Pho here is by far one of the top 10 I've had in my lifetime, and I've had my fair share. The broth for their food is nicely seasoned, not to salty, and not not salty enough. There is also plenty of noodles and meat despite whatever size you get. I always get the large Pho Dac Biet as I love variety in my Pho. I've had the opportunity to try their Boba Milk Tea a few times as they gave my mom and I a...

I wish they had Chilli oil in the back but it's all good they're still pretty new.

edit: 05/05/18 - still great place to eat. they have vegetable pho with vegetable broth that’s to die for so good. i’ve been on a plant based kick past eight months and stopped coming because i thought all they had was beef broth. i was wrong. vegan / vegetarian check out item #19 it’s the best and tell them vegetable broth. there is an option right next to it with beef broth just make sure not to pick...

Poor service and less food. This restaurant has only one waitress and she is often in the back helping with cooking than to serve customers in the dining area. I saw one mother with three young kids were waiting for over 20 minutes, but no body came to take their orders or even stop by, so they had to leave the restaurant with kids crying. I asked for warm water with lemon, but I got ice water with lemon. Later, I ordered a seafood noodle. It was a big bowl filled with half of the soup or liquid: only three pieces of shrimps, and a few squid rings which were tasteless. The average noodle soups like this, will cost you about 14 dollars, but you will get a bowl with very little noodle and meat or seafood, but 70 % of the liquid, or thin soup. It certainly will not...
