"This place is an institution going 40 years strong. It's widely considered to ladle some of the best and most praiseworthy pho in southern California. Place your name on the clipboard by the front door and expect a wait. Once seated, peruse the extensive menu, which runs the gamut from egg noodle soups and goi cuon, to appetizers and desserts along with many varieties of the eponymous dish. You'll never go wrong with oxtail—it's the most popular with good reason." - Sophie Friedman
