Pho America Vietnamese Cuisine

They are very friendly and good taste great. It’s one of my favorite spots for Pho in Long Beach 🍜 I would recommend this place for their other food items as well. Food comes out fast too :)

My parents and I love the pho here. Great tasting broth and fresh ingredients. When dining in, however, the service can be somewhat lacking. It often feels like you're inconveniencing them with your presence. A bit uncomfortable. This time around, since I'm sick, I called in my order to pick up and eat at home. My usual is the rare steak and meatball pho. I requested a large size today. I went to pick up and paid. I included a $2 tip (15%), which I feel is fair for a to-go order. I asked for an extra packet of hoisin sauce because they only included one in the bag of toppings. So they give one packet for small and also only one for a large pho, and they want to charge you extra if you ask for more. I explained to the girl that they have bottles on their tables and that usually more than one packet's worth of sauce is used. I feel they should automatically include 2 packets for a small and 3 for a large. I understand charging extra if you want extra of everything. She did give me a little cup of extra sauce (thank you), but I do find that the practice of charging extra per condiment is a bit... stingy? I don't blame her; she was kind to oblige even though she looked a bit annoyed. But for the business owners (this goes for the other restaurants as well) at least be realistic as to the amount that normally goes into a bowl of pho and at least try to match that with the hoisin packet or cups to supply per order. Just a thought.

First and last time. I ordered from DoorDash and Pho America offered a special of 2 shrimp fried rice for the price of one. Also 2 for one Pho, and they didn't come through. They only sent one of each. They sent one pack of hoisin sauce for a bowl of Pho. One lime slice and it was dry, no juice came out of it. I just moved to Long Beach and this was my first order via delivery. I ordered Pho frequently when I lived in the IE, and never once had to request utensils. This order came without chopsticks, with out a spoon and fork. I was calling during business hours and they don't answer.

Me and my wife just visited this restaurant after months of passing by and wondering if it were any good. My wife ordered the pho with well done steak and flank. She enjoyed it, it was well served and very well served. I ordered the clay pot chicken and shrimp. It was very good, maybe a sorta small serving but really good flavor. We also order a side of egg rolls which were very good. Now. The service was it's downfall. From the moment we went in to the time we got our order taken was that of about 15-20 minutes, not until we called on someone letting them know we were ready to order. The food did come out pretty fast. Maybe 5 minutes or so. Now, again, the service. No one passed by to check on how we were doing the whole time we were eating, to see if we needed anything else. When it was time to pay, while we were eating with no indication that we were done or near finishing the waitress came and delivered our check. Almost $60 for our meal. When I got up to pay and pressed the no tip option, I could see the face of annoyance in the waitress face. Although the food might of been good. I doubt we'll be returning.

I have frequented this establishment for years. However, they have repeatedly left out side items that I have paid for without compensating me. No one can remember who you are the next time you order. This time, the person who answered the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE and could not verify my order. So, I told her to cancel it. But she said that I had to cancel with GrubHub. Needless to say, it could not be CANCELLED! So, I gave the order to the delivery person. I will never order from them again!!

I went here with my nephew on saturday, it was amazing. Great atmosphere with awesome customer service. The food had mouth watering taste. The flavors were remarkable. I really recommend.

The pork, shrimp 🍤, egg rolls with rice meal was delicious. I enjoyed it. The milk with no boba was sweet 🧋. I appreciate the service here 🙏.

Got the veggie and tofu pho, small. It wasn’t anything special unfortunately. All the veggies did not taste fresh and it had very little tofu that also tasted old. It wasn’t awful but I likely won’t come back.

God Bless America & God Bless Pho America! If you want some good authentic Vietnamese pho, check out this place! I was hung over one day and what better way to cure a hangover? Pho! The broth is extremely delicious and authentic. I got a rare steak pho w/ meatballs, tendon, and flanks. What also impressed me the most was their tendons. Soft, delicious, and melts in your mouth. I got a regular size pho and should have gotten a big bowl, smh. Don't make the same mistake as I did and get yourself the biggest bowl they got. You won't regret it! Customer service is excellent and the reason I said that is because I order an ice tea and when I finished with the ice tea, the owner greeted and asked if I wanted a refill. I said please and got it togo without charge. The ambiance was nice! A great place to take someone out for pho.

Pho America had a BOGO deal for their rare steak pho on Ubereats so I knew I had to give this place a shot. I also ordered a few sides of chili oil as well as a side of chicken for myself. Once the order arrived, I re-heated my broth and was ready to dig in. After the first few bites I pushed my plate away and felt super underwhelmed with my dish. The broth was greasy and bland. The chicken was unappetizing and was nearly inedible as it consisted of mostly chewy tendons. My mom got the other soup that came with the promotion and she didn't eat her pho either as she said it didn't taste good. Overall, "you get what you pay for" has never made more sense to me. I personally wouldn't recommend Pho America to anyone.

Another one of the restaurants I've reviewed where my review is mysteriously gone. This is the second one. Strange. My parents and I love the pho here. Great tasting broth and fresh ingredients. When dining in, however, the service can be somewhat lacking. It often feels like you're inconveniencing them with your presence. A bit uncomfortable, but we continue to eat here anyway because the food is delicious, especially the pho. Today, since I'm sick, I called in my order to pick up and eat at home. My usual is the rare steak and meatball pho. I requested a large size today. I went to pick up and paid. I included a $2 tip (15%), which I feel is fair for a to-go order.

I don't blame her; she was kind to oblige even though she looked a bit annoyed. But for the business owners (this goes for the other restaurants as well because they're not the only ones who do this) at least be realistic as to the amount that normally goes into a bowl of pho, and at least try to match that with the hoisin packet or cups you supply per order. Just a thought.

Came here on a Sunday around 4pm. Was seated quickly. And order was taken quickly. Only thing it was kinda warm inside. Ordered the brisket pho it was a good size and broth was good. Got the Thai tea with boba. Boba was chewy and drink was sweet. The mango lemonade was great a mix of tangy and sweet. But refreshing. Al in all, everything came hot and in order so good to try out.

Been on the search for the best pho place in my area so tried Pho America. Dined here on a week day around 5pm. The restaurant was pretty empty so my party of 2 was able to be seated immediately. I had the veggie tofu pho while my husband tried their rare steak pho. I enjoyed the assortment of veggies and their broth. Broth was tasty; not too salty. My husband also enjoyed his rare steak pho. Will definitely be back.

I came inside with my sister to try this place. Once we walked in the workers just stared at us and didn't say anything. It made me feel uncomfortable and I felt like they were thinking I wasn't going to buy anything. Even after that I still wanted to try it but I should have walked out and gone to another place because it didn't get better after that. We dine in but was very disappointed in the food and service. Food was plain with no flavor. Me and my sister didn't really eat and the service was just bad from the beginning to the end. I live super close by but I wish I never tried it. I see why it's very empty. I was mostly disappointed with the service I have received once I walked in, not even a smile. Very bad workers and very bad food

I ordered the veggie pho They do have veggie broth how ever it was bland. They only offer fried tofu and I didn't like the consistency of it... the food came out fast. Quick service. The ambiance made it seem authentic. For the 15 bucks I was disappointed.

We pass by here all the time when coming from Signal Hill/Bixby Knolls back to DTLB, but truth be told, the name kinda turned me off (reminded me of a mall food court 'Asian' fast food shop with non-Asian workers)...but nope, Pho America is the real deal....serving up a good, piping bowl of beef pho. They have their own dedicated parking lot (with lockable gates), and the standalone building has plenty of indoor seating. There were already quite a few people dining in, when I stopped by around 11 on a Monday. I noticed that there was quite a few take-out and delivery orders as well, so good sign for the freshness of the ingredients. I was led to my seat, and placed an order for the combination pho, size large ($15). The hostess/waitress was attentive, and brought out a glass of water with lemon pretty quickly, along with the pho accompaniments that everyone is accustomed (really fresh bean sprouts, thai basil, jalapeno slices, and two lime wedges). Everything was super fresh, obviously just washed and sprinkled with water to keep vibrant. Strangely, a lot of pho places around this hot bed of Pho restaurants, serve mediocre, browned herbs. Not here...this was great, and a good clue for the quality of the rest of the meal. The steaming bowl came out a bit after, delivered directly from the kitchen by someone else (probably the gentleman who put the dish together). The bowl wasn't overly large, and everything was submerged under the piping hot broth (except for the sliced white onions and cilantro floating)...noticed immediately that it was pretty oily (which usually isn't a good thing for me). Took my first sip, acknowledged that it didn't need any more sauce just some herbs and fresh lime juice which I added. Each table already has utensils at each table, including forks if that is what you need. The noodles were clumped at the bottom, but a couple of twirls with one chopstick, then letting it sit for about a minute or so, then I really dug in. And it really came together...none of the separate ingredients stood out individually, but together, it ended up making a really, really good bowl of pho. It came with the requisite meats (really enjoyed the fatty brisket, and small amount of tripe....the rare steak wasn't great, but the tendon and beef balls were solid). By the time I was finished with the noodle, I still had broth left so asked for an extra order of noodles ($3 or so)...which was soon delivered in its own broth. I devoured that too. I paid at the front...they take credit card but offer a small cash discount. In/out in 40 minutes...still a little hungry, but happy that I had been wrong about the name and could add another good pho place to my list of rotating noodle shops.

One of my favorite Pho restaurants. Clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. Also, it's easy to get the servers attention, they are always looking around. I usually get veggie pho, but my favorite thing to order is the Beef Banh Mi sandwich ~ best I've ever had. Give it a try!

My friend suggested this place for a gathering. Based on the other reviews, we both selected pho, but I also ordered the Vietnamese swai spring roll as an appetizer. The amount of noodles in a regular size bowl was significantly more than most of the pho establishments I've been to--at least twice as much. The broth was pretty good, but not the best I've had. The condiments were fresh, and there were plenty of steak and tendon in the bowl. I love how tender the tendon was. The spring roll was surprisingly good. Each roll was huge, and the rice wrap was chewy in a good way. The fish taste really came through. The staff was friendly, but he's on his phone most of the time while we were there. It was a slow Wednesday evening at the restaurant. There was plenty of parking in the relatively large private lot, and the air conditioning kept our dining experience pleasant on this hot summer day.

Brought my granddaughter here for the first time. She had never had Pho. My go to is the Rare Steak. We shared and she loved it. Also got the wings and an order of the spring rolls. She had the Coffee Boba to drink and I had the French Coffee with Creamer. All delicious

Our soup wasn't hot. It took a long for our red meat to fully cook into our soup. I looked over the other table and their soups were steaming hot. I've been here before the pandemic and their food used to be great. The man who had an unpleasant behavior. I tried tipping 20%. The tip amount was set higher on his handheld POS system. When I changed it, he smacked his lips and got upset. I won't be returning.

I was sick and I didn't have the energy to make chicken noodle soup so I thought about getting pho. I heard that pho had some type of healing qualities so I ordered some to-go. I ordered the grilled chicken pho because I wanted chicken noodle soup. It's basically the same thing but Asian. It was my first time having chicken pho, but let me tell you! It was fire! The chicken was nice and juicy, and has flavor from being grilled. The broth was clean and the taste was there. Definitely not watered down at all. Cured my sickness for sure. They got my food ready real quick. Told me it would be ready in 7 minutes over the phone when I ordered. Fast and easy pickup. Will definitely come back to eat there.

If you are picking up order 1 hr ahead of time. They take forever. For people who have a timed lunch this is not a place to eat at.

This place is so chill. Quiet place and has great pho. I enjoy it here all the time. Service is good. Hole in the wall. But well worth it.

I've driven by here a lot over the years and never got a chance to check it out until a couple nights ago with a friend and her son. So, I love getting any combination pho. That means "the works" = all the meat! Food is about texture and taste for me. You can't taste the tripe, tendons, etc... but I love the texture! Anyway, I got the regular sized combo pho (I'm trying to portion control, ok? Planning on a fitness modeling competition next year!) and I finished that so fast! WOW! I was hungry! I also love ordering a side of onions and drizzling it with the sriracha and the hoisin sauce! Mmmm! Made my own little Vietnamese kimchi! You eat it after a bite of the noodle soup and meat. Mmmmmm! My friend had egg rolls and a large soup and her son had chicken and shrimp fried rice. It looked and smelled so good! I gotta try those next time! Gonna definitely be back! Thank you!

i've been here multiple times i always do online orders when i order Sriracha they NEVER GET IT they always give hoisin sauce

I've been going here for years and they are consistently good! The charbroiled beef Bahn Mi sandwich is excellent and I normally get the seafood pho with shrimp, squid, fish and imitation crab is also very good! I've never had a bad meal here. The restaurant itself is pretty run down and it's not the cleanest you're going to find but the food is always good!

There is free ample parking which is such a bonus. The inside dining area is larger than I expected with plenty of seating, but the tables are a bit small for a party of 5, and too big for two tables to be pushed together (which they were willing to do). We squeezed into one table with 5 chairs and we were fine. Their menu is extensive and it's hard to decide what to order. I settled on an egg noodle soup with cornish game hen. The hen was juicy and flavorful and tiny. But it's small, a tiny leg and breast (and hens are small) so keep your expectations realistic with that so you don't over inflate your imagination like I am sometimes prone to. In looks large in pictures (even mine) though. Now the soup itself did not pack as much flavor. I did, however, add some hot sauce & hoisin provided at the table to give it more depth. But I felt the noodles didn't have that special kick or taste I wanted or expected. Their Pho is good although if you have a big appetite, order the large because the small size is that. At other places, a small always looks larger than one would expect, but here, the sizes are what it is. They have an assortment of sweet drinks and boba and those are good additions to round out the meal. The service is interesting. They're friendly, don't get me wrong, but it's a bit awkward sometimes. They use a computer pad to take orders (instead of pad and paper) and it's slow so while you're ordering, the server will say, "wait...the computer is slow" so you're kind of awkwardly waiting until he's ready for the next person. We giggled (you know, that uncomfortable giggle you share with your loved ones when you all know how each other feels LOL). We were done with our meal and they never came to give us a check so I got up to the cashier and she rang me up. There was a notice on our wall that they offer student discounts so I told her we were with two college students and she asked for student ids. As my boys were digging theirs out (their digital now), she said, "it's okay, I gave it to them.". Alrighty. Again, the interaction wasn't rude, but it was...well...different. Like I said, not unfriendly, but not we'll-go-out-of-our-way either. And it's fine. Also, if you prefer a fork instead of chopsticks, they do have forks on a self-serve table near the cashier area, along with extra napkins. It's an established neighborhood Pho restaurant and I would come back. Always happy to support a small business.

Haven't been hear since 2021, I went today with my boyfriend. We were extremely disappointed, I believe it's under new management now. We ordered Pho and eggrolls and the pho was VERY WATERY!!! It was NOT good at all. The egg rolls weren't all that , waste of money! I will not be returning. I don't recommend 2/10

I had high hopes for Pho America. Food was fresh and hot. The egg rolls were tasty, however, their broth on the chicken pho was greasy. I'm glad that other options exist in the area

I ate here a handful of times. I get the pho and the egg roles as well as the shrimp rolls. It's always fresh and the ambiance inside reminds you of Thailand. My fav is all the sauces. The service is A1.

Well, here it is--another visit. My sister and her friend came and picked me up and she had two more of our sisters and our cousin meet us there. Again, the people were very courteous (and patient) as we were discussing in detail the various items on the menu. I didn't want to stare at what the others were having without appearing to be nosy, but I caught a glimpse at each dish being served, feigning curiosity as if to say, "Oh, is that one mine?" "Is that one mine?" and they all looked tempting and delicious. My three sisters had phô, I had shrimp on skewers with fried rice again, my cousin, who was sitting the farthest away from me, had something with the words "kung pao" in it, and although I sat right across from my sister's friend, what she had looked amazing--it had chicken and bell peppers. Such an amiable restaurant to provide delicious food and a wonderful time spent with family.

Bahn Mi Sandwich was delicious. Priced well for the amount of food. Plenty of parking. Location is easy to find.Bahn Mi Sandwich is a must try.

My husband and I go here when our other pho spots are closed. The pho here is good. Flavorful and good portions. Lately, I've been getting the korean short ribs with rice. It's really a hit or miss. One time, it was perfectly cooked with nice portions, and other times, the meat was a little burnt and stingy with the meat. Overall the food here is good but i would like more consistency.

Food great Service great Ambience quiet and relaxed on a Friday Plenty of parking Highly recommended

I've had pho and the vermicelli here and both are so good. I always get takeout so I can't speak for eating in but the quality of the food is great and they are pretty quick.

I just left the restaurant and left a bit underwhelmed. I had the lunch special which is a small brisket pho, spring roll and a drink. The pho broth was a fairly flavorless and I had water instead of choosing a soda. The inside looked fairly clean but there was confusing signs on the door about when they take so "take out orders.." which make it look untidy. It was around noon and will try to avoid this place despite the convenience.

great hole in the wall on pacific!! street parking and small lot available plenty of only indoor seating came here for lunch and got their LS1 (lunch special 1). comes with an order of regular pho, spring roll, and a drink. Food came out in minutes. Pho was amazing - broth seemed like it had brewing for hours sooooo good, steak was thin and tender, and they give so much toppings. staff was professional and quick! Go check this place out you won't regret it. tip: they have a stamp card. when u spend $10 you get a stamp. at 5 you get a free smoothie, at 10 you get a free pho.

Ordered some lunch because I didn't want to eat the lunch I packed lol. Called in the order and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Order was ready, and we just had to pay at the cash register. Over the phone, I thought I ordered this. -R22 with beef instead of pork -R22 normal with pork -R08 -R17 -A10 with grilled beef Order got messed up, but they also charged us $10 less, so I guess it evened out with the tip I left. The meat in every dish was really fatty and inconsistent. Some pieces were tough. Some were literally just fat. I like fat, but it was too much. Some of the vegetables were wilted. Very unappetizing. I don't know if I would recommend this place nor would I ever go there again. It was decent, but it's a no for me dawg

We wanted some pho at Long Beach and decided to come here. The pho was exceptionally good, but the rice dish was just ok. Will come back for more pho.

Tonight I ordered 4 items from this store, not a complicated order, seafood pho, a pork sandwich, some rice paper rolls, and a coconut boba drink through Uber. The restaurant gave me a plain roll sliced roll instead of my sandwich. It was disappointing. I called the restaurant and the woman suggested going through Uber for a refund for the missing item. I wouldn't order through them again. It was 4 items.

My girl was craving some warm comfort food. Pho was the choice. Here was our experience on a Thursday evening. Parking: Some street parking and a small parking plaza. Keep your eyes peeled as it can be a little hidden. Seating: Inside seating with room for about 40 people. Booth settings and table setups. Feels: The surroundings is not your touristy Long Beach spot. The restaurant itself is nice. A family business, work hard vibe, with warming Vietnamese customs. There are tvs playing in the background. Good spot for family or pleasant comfort food. FOOD: Pho House Special (Recommend) Steak, beef-ball, tendon, flank tripe...the works. The broth was flavorful and the meats were delicious. It was pretty fulfilling and lasted us two meals. Banh Mi - Grilled Pork (Recommend) A Vietnamese sandwich the classic sweet pork flavoring. Juicy meat and refreshing cilantro. Not as crispy or smokey as I hoped but still comforting. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Awesome. I ordered for pick up and they were right on time with my order and it was given with friendly service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. I dig the proximity of the location and the familiarity the food brings to my tummy. The price was reasonable and the vibes were pleasant. Safe to say, this is a pleasant returning spot and a spot to recommend. Tips: *Keep your eye out on the entrance.

Disappointed. Been going here years ago. Recently started ordering through uber eats and 3 out of 5 times, they've forgotten my beverage. They tried to blame it on the poor driver saying the driver stole the drink. Though I didn't see any beverages in the driver's car when picking up my food.

Love this spot the food is nice and it's a calm place not loud. Been going there for a few years now.

Ordered a side of steamed rice for $3. Guess what? They only filled half of the box which is barely enough for a 5 year old kid they are making money the wrong way

Disappointed! My lunch special for today! Called to report my dry pho, manager was no help and rude.

great food frequent customer came in craving pho and all i had was a large bill i asked kindly if i cud order and use bill and was rejected right away and rude not even politely and wen i was told sorry was a sorry that cud careless im sorry for u im frequent customer who really lost the happiness in pho here will find another pho sad part is its the closest pho place to me

Never answer there phone to place order. Food is good customer service is ok, their appetizer is so good! Pho is also really good ambiance is calm great servers very attentive.

Service was terrible. I got sat at and my server threw the menu on the table and asked what I wanted. Didn't even give me time to look at the menu. I told her I need more time, and she just gave me the dirtiest look. Ordered spring rolls that tasted old. The noodles and the meat were dry. I didn't bother to order a bowl of pho. I left after that. The restaurant is hella hot inside as well. Definitely not coming back. Just go to Garden Grove.

I really like this place. It is one of the few pho places in long Beach that is open to almost 9pm. It isn't the best pho in town, but is better than most others around. Their other dishes are good too. Service has always been friendly and polite. I definitely recommend, especially if you happen to be dining late.

Basically this is my go to place for Pho because of the flavor and all the vegetables that they give you. I enjoy the vegetable broth, in the chicken broth, and overall I'm always very pleased.

Don't ignore the 3.5 stars ratings! There is a reason for their low rating! First of all, I am a pho fan. I can eat it daily. And I have never given a pho restaurant a bad review. There is a first for everything. They are overpriced! And very mediocre food!

I ordered the grilled chicken pho on uber eats. The food was package nice and neat with all the pho toppings. The portion size was just right. I ordered the regular size and it was perfect. The quality of the food was really good as well. The chicken was grilled perfectly. Every thing had tons of flavor. Also, pricing is right. Hands down the best pho place in town.

Their pho is pretty good. Good flavor broth and not overly salty. However, I would not recommend their spring rolls. I think they are ok-mediocre. Definitely not the best. The taste was a little dry. They have lunch combos that you can order but for dinner they charge an extra 50 cents. Also note the food came out slow. I think they had 3 tables in the restaurant and we waited 15 minutes for the food. That's just weird because pho generally come out super fast. Also, my friend ordered some stir fry dish. It was really good! See my picture. I highly recommend this dish :)

My go to for Pho, Shaken Beef, Vermicelli etc. Pho is fresh, ample and served with good quality mint, sprouts etc. My family has enjoyed this spot so many times that it is one of our standbys. Service, cleanliness, price and food quality will leave you smiling. Enjoy!

Great food with big portions Quick service & welcoming staff One of the best places I've eaten at I was pleasantly surprised !!

I ordered the pho house special and right before I was getting ready to take my first scoop I saw a baby ROACH floating in my soup. Smh, never coming back here again.....where there's on baby Roach there's a whole village of them running around in that kitchen....smh

Honestly, I don't live very far from here, but order Postmates + Uber Eats delivery pretty often. Can't say much about service, since I have not dined in. However, the pho, vermicelli, and boba tea we ordered from Pho America have been decent, promptly prepared, and well packed. Of course, Vietnamese foods in Long Beach are still not as tasty as Little Saigon/Orange County restaurants, but Pho America is one of the OK Vietnamese places in LBC (especially for delivery).
