Pho Gyu Vietnamese Noodle House

One of the best Pho I've had in a while, with a neat, self-service condiments bar, and unlimited noodles if you dine-in. Be careful because Western location in KTown is the only place with a condiments bar. Wagyu Pho was great, clean and premium beefy flavor that doesn't thin out as you eat. My sister had Wagyu vermicelli which was also refreshing, but the wagyu bulgogi that it came with was very sinewy and mostly unchewable tendons. I think she should've got the pork.

Best pho in ktown. The pho broth is deep and flavorful unlike the usual ktown phos. Meat is tender and exceptional quality. My new go-to spot now. :)

FOOD: I got the pho tai (they call it Pho Gyu a play on Wagyu). The broth was excellent, all the flavors were present. At no point did the broth leave any unpleasurable after taste caused from poor ingredients, all high quality ingredients. The self service bean sprouts, mint leaves, etc. was refreshing. Now I could get all the additional bean sprouts I want without having to ask or receiving too much and wasting. The thinly sliced meat was delicious though I couldn't really notice a difference in texture to see if it was wagyu. Service: Great Atmosphere: I would describe it as a well invested and good looking private business. The environment was comfortable. Overall, If you are nearby eating here is a good choice.

Cannot recommend this place more than enough! The wagyu bone summed broth is delicious with the pho and the unlimited noodle refills makes up is an amazing deal with any of the pho options. Solid deal for what you can get in LA, and especially for the price point. The wagyu beef banh mi and rice plate is very rich in flavor, I loved it! However, the rice in the rice plate did come out slightly cold so it might not exactly be the freshest rice. But nonetheless, it tasted great paired with the salad and meat. The banh mi was possibly one of the best banh mi that I have ever tried. They use the most perfect bun, had a soft but crispy texture to it, which I haven’t had before locally. The flavor from the meat and sauce they used also enriched the flavor. It was so filling that I even took the second half home for leftovers! If you also like strong vietnamese coffee, this place is the best. Went here originally just for the vietnamese coffee, and it did not disappoint at all. If you prefer more condensed milk or sweetness to your vietnamese coffee, this might not be for you. But if you’re a coffee person, definitely check it out. They also have other sweet fruity drinks here for those non coffee drinkers. Highly recommend this place. Parking may be slightly difficult, but that’s anywhere in Ktown LA.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that it’s impossible to park a car. Most of the time, I give up on eating here because of the parking situation. I strongly recommend adding some lime to the soup because it changes the flavor a lot. I always order crispy taro egg rolls with my pho. Also, the beef bánh mì tastes very good.

Had the rib pho, I asked for raw meat, unfortunately was given Wagyu instead. Regardless was still really good! Noodle and meat portion was great, you picked up your own veggies, which is smart. I’ve never had pho in a bowl like this before, and I would have to say, it stayed very hot the whole time! Highly recommend this place!

Literally in the middle of eating here and I had to write a review. I’m not someone who even writes reviews but I can’t help but support this place because I loveeeee itttt. Delicious food, extremely clean and the vibes are great. They’re literally playing Mariah the scientist on the speakers in here right now. Staff is always super friendly and efficient.

I had the "house special spicy Pho" and the "wings from hell" (not as hot as you think). What the wings sacrifice in spiciness, they make up for favor. They where so tasty that it was hard to put them down. The house special was spicy and very tasty. Also this was all 30 bucks (adding the tip). Great deal! Great food!

Was looking for good pho around LA and saw the stellar reviews for Pho Gyu. It did not disappoint! Coming from 626, you know how high our expectations are for pho! The inside was clean with a good amount of seating and a fresh toppings bar with onions, green onions, juicy limes, mint leaves, and bean sprouts. Really love the self serve style. Service was quick to take our order and the menu prices were pretty affordable for dinner. They also have some great lunch specials I'll have to come back to try! I tried their Pho gyu 101 which came with tender brisket, hearty soup, and soft noodles. My bf got the Wagyu beef with the brisket and loved it as well. Both of them had the same pho base and noodles, just more meat on the Wagyu beef. Alsoo, be careful coming into the parking lot. Very tight entrances and limited parking spots. May be better to find street parking! Overall a very clean spot and great place for Pho especially in LA!

I like this place, the interior is clean and very inviting, nothing compared to its outside look. This is a decent pho place, their menu is straightforward and not complicated to order into. They have a vegetable section where you can get as much as you want, this is for your pho. They also offer some iced tea or flavoured drinks. I like my Pho Gyu plus vegetable egg roll lunch menu. The taste of the soup is very good and the meat is tender. I love everything about this. The service is quick however while we are there during lunch time, they served multiple dishes to us incorrectly, maybe they need to improve on their attentiveness on orders and customers.

Small new spot in small strip mall off Western across from McDonald's. Cute, clean small space with nice decor. Only my first visit but definitely will be back to try the large bowl with beef ribs!! We tried the lunch special... !! Only $15 for a choice of beef or chicken pho and a choice of egg rolls, half order of banmi or another appetizer option? Great deal!!! Offered. Monday thru Friday 11-3pm!! They even have a small unlimited access cart for self service with onions, cilantro, chopped jalepenos, asian basil, sprouts, lime and even green onion!! Ingenious!!! I wish more would offer this!! Simply awesome!! Staff were super attentive and friendly!' Highly recommended!!

My first pho in LA and I gotta say... Pho Gyu did not disappoint. I got the Pho GYU 101 and vegetarian egg rolls delivered, and everything was still hot, crispy, and super tasty. The packaging was solid too--nothing spilled, and everything stayed fresh. Honestly, I can't even imagine how much better it would be fresh in the restaurant!

We found this place randomly. Our usual pho was closed down so we drove to the nearest one . We loved it . Pho is 10/10 . Service 10/10 ambiance 10/10 and very clean . My kids loved it and asked to come back so total we came back 2nd time around . My daughter eat all of her pho soup my son loved his food . My pho soup 10/10 And they have a condiment bar which is the best .

This review is long overdue, but what a hidden gem! The pho is absolutely delicious - rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles that have just the right amount of chew. They have a self-serve veggie bar to grab basil, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños for the dishes. Everything is always super fresh. The beef banh mi was a total flavor bomb. Solid bread in my opinion - crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. The meat was tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Every bite was just pure joy. Heads up though, the parking lot is incredibly small with limited spaces, so it can be tricky to find a spot (as with all places in ktown). Definitely worth if spots are available though. The inside is clean and somewhat modern looking. Service and food prep were fast and efficient. Don't sleep on their weekday lunch special - pho and half banh mi combo for $15, such a great deal for the quality! It's one of my go-to lunch spots for that deal alone!

Ever since I discover pho I been obsessed This location and another in Eagle rock have been so far my gold star favorites . Whenever I feel nostalgic or in need of a hug I know that pho is going to take care of all those feelings and make me feel good. My three go to phos are the chicken, spicy with brisket and the regular brisket. I usually order uber eats from this location and my order is nicely packaged . I am looking forward to visiting the restaurant soon.

Found this from Yelp when I suddenly had a noodle and soup craving. It was 15 mins from where I was, so took a gamble and went for it. What wonderful way to start my 2025 Yelp adventures! I went with the wagyu beef pho, and was impressed with the flavor that only wagyu can give, but without the typical bubbles of melted fat floating around the soup. That's right, NOT GREASY! The best! One thing done differently here is the self-service toppings bar for onions, bean sprouts, basil, etc. I like this because I always cringe at the amount of leftover toppings I never end up using in my pho. This way, I get exactly what I want, and have no guilty remorse for leftover condiments. I also got the Angel Wings, western style. Delish, crispy, and again, no overwhelming greasy after taste. This place does everything clean, and in here for it! Only downside about this place is parking. They are located in a small mini mall corner, so if you come at the wrong hour, you might end up frustrated looking for street parking once the spots fill up. I lucked out on this visit, and found a spot on the same block, 100 feet away. Highly recommend!

It's hard to fault this place. Their food is delicious, service is good, and the space is very clean. We ordered the Wagyu pho and beef toro pho, which came out in 6 minutes, pretty quick. The Wagyu beef is overrated and I don't think it works for the pho, but the toro is 100% the way to go. It provides a nice cut with rich meat and fat. As for the broth, it's pretty authentic though a little peppery, like ground black pepper. For dine-in, you get unlimited noodles! That's a game changer and I think it makes up for the higher than average price. The noodle refills do taste a little more plain though, because they haven't had the chance to sit in the broth.

This is a reliable pho spot - not phenomenal but I would return due to proximity to me! The portions are big and flavorful. I went with the beef wagyu pho and my only criticism is that I wish the meat was in smaller pieces so I could get more balanced bites. I enjoyed the toppings bar which contains limes, sprouts, green onions, onions and jalapenos. The service was average, not bad not great. If I would've been asked how I was doing throughout the meal I probably would've ordered a side of egg rolls to try out.

Not gonna lie; mid af pho. If you are expecting real pho, this place is not it. It is not authentic-- more fusiony with korean flavors. I love their topping bar though; unlimited cilantro and onions!! spring roll and their peanut sauce was also pretty mid. I probably wouldn't go back, but then again this is one of the few pho places located in ktown.

Definitely the best Pho in k towns Simple but very good, place is immaculate and the staff is so nice. I also like the fresh toooings bar concept, it comes plain. Defintley my go to spot

Update - Still absolutely in love with this place. I see them more than my family at this point

I had lunch here today. The setting is very nice: clean and modern. I love the toppings bar (you get your mung bean sprouts, onions, lime, herbs, etc.) and wish all pho restaurants would do the same! The service was good. I had the rib pho (4/5). The serving size is large and the dish comes with two very big ribs with lots of meat on it. My only knock on the dish is that the broth is too sweet. Towards getting to the end of the dish, I was getting sick of the lingering sweetness. If it wasn't for this, everything else about the restaurant would be perfect.

Lunch special was very filling for the price. Broth is good considering price and location - for those who insist you need to get out of LA for good pho. Self serve veggies available! Small but cozy space. Service was a bit sparse as I think only 1 server was working during the lunch rush.

I've had a lot of different pho soup, from basic plain , to super flavorful, however I've never had a spicy flavor pho like this. It's unique in its own way, the soup was spicy yet not too spicy where you cannot taste the flavor. It's not your typical pho tasting soup with spice, it's different and well worthy of a taste. I was a bit concerned when I saw it but after tasting it, I really enjoyed it. We went when it opened right up, so the server was there practically immediately. She was nice, and also very quick to provide us with water and utensils. The location is in a small plaza, new spot but can be overlooked if you don't look for it?(hope that made sense) with a lot of other pho spots in the nearby vicinity, I opted to come here, and it was worth it. I will be returning for their basic pho , vermicelli and banh mi !!

Incredible establishment with a small free parking lot. They have a lunch combo deal on weekdays but we went on a Saturday unfortunately. The food comes quickly, servers are attentive, and I think the self serve toppings bar is a really sustainable and smart idea (it's also kept very clean)! We were also offered extra noodles at the end to eat with our soup (I packed it in a to go box which was very nice of them). Spring rolls: delicious and fresh, the peanut dipping sauce was also a little lighter than ones I have had before and I liked it a lot better Wagyu toro pho: DELECTABLE. The fat made the broth richer and fattier which I loved. I would come back here for this again. One of my favorite phos in LA!!!!

Pho Gyu is my favorite spot for pho in LA. The broth is immaculate and the noodles are so tender-- don't get me started on the beef!! It's all around amazing. Staff is super kind and friendly. They let me try the green Thai tea before I ordered it and answered my question on the origination of their name because I thought it was a take of 'f u' lol the waitress thought it was funny and told me that the owners didn't think of it in that way before! The restaurant lets you sit wherever you'd like which is a nice touch as well.

I was looking for a quick bite and was craving Vietnamese. Went to searching on yelp, and the name alone caught my eye lol I love it! Walked in, welcomed with a smile and ordered my app Togo. She told me it'll take 10 min, that made me happy alone; you know they made these to order!!!! I was in my car waiting and she opened the door to signal me my food was ready, super sweet! Inside had sole folks chowing down with tables full of variety of food. Really enjoyed my appetizer, the way it smelled so good I'm sure the rest of the menu is delicious ! Defff keeping on my go to list

the food is amazing quality, everything tastes so well crafted. The portions for the price you pay is also worth it, our server Kylie was providing fast service and even recommended us other places around the town to try!

This review is more for me than anyone else.... And I don't care. Writing this review because I want to bookmark this place for myself whenever I'm back in the area. Pho-gyu (say it fast, it's worth it) checked all the boxes for me from food, to service and fantastic price point. Got the vermicelli bowl and it was amazing. Tried the mixed bowl (beef and shrimp) and honestly could have taken a second bowl if I didn't stop myself. They also have some lunch specials which gives you the chance to try a couple things at once. I can't wait to come back here when I'm in the area and try one of their bahn mis

Still good like always I always come back! I really enjoy their food and pho! I would recommend it to anyone!

Got the pho gyu 101. It was delicious. Love how they have all your toppings at a salad bar (self serve). Definitely will be coming back.

I think the pho is amazing here! I get the wagyu beef pho. It's never too busy inside which I like as well Only downside, the lack of parking makes it difficult to eat here often. The other day, my mom and I wanted to eat here but we spent 40 mins driving around the area looking for parking and couldn't find any so we went to another restaurant. Unfortunately the downside of ktown

Ordered a beef banh mi sandwich!! The worst I've ever had. So much gristle in my sandwich.

Gotta appreciate a little cheeky play in words name. Decent place to satisfy a pho craving. Service was friendly. Parking is tight

The pho was pretty descent! I liked the soup, it was very flavorful. The beef could have been a bit more tender. A less chewy yet thicker meat would have been better to soak in the flavor of the soup!

I've been meaning to leave a review for Phogyu after dining here over five times in the past year, and they never disappoint. They've been adding new menu items, and I've thoroughly enjoyed trying their different selections. My favorites are the House wagyu Pho, Spicy Brisket Pho, and the House Special Vermicelli. If you're like me and love trying a little bit of everything, I highly recommend the House Special Vermicelli. It comes with plenty of fresh veggies, flavorful beef, lightly fried shrimp, and a crispy spring roll :) Also when I'm not feeling well, this is my go-to spot for a comforting bowl of hot soup that always hits the spot. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's located in a small plaza, but when that happens, I just order to-go and it's worth it! Price is also reasonable for the portion of food you get!

Recently came back to Phogyu since my first visit a few months back, and I noticed they added to the menu quite a bit. I tried the chicken rice plate, and it was delicious -- highly recommend!! Especially if you're a fan of sweet and salty, the soy glaze on the chicken complements the fried rice.

The place is in a tiny plaza with horrible parking. The service was ok that time we went was around 6 pm service was good the only thing is that self service to get your onions cilantro and etc. The chicken was on point it wasn't soggy at all it was crispy at the same time had that spicy flavor. The pho was kind of bland for me the beef ribs on other hand is fall of the bone tender. Inside is nice clean.

Love the texture of the vermicelli, so silky! The portions are plenty; flavors are spot on. Basic, clean diner setting with fast service.

Pho Gyu is now added to my favorite pho places in Koreatown! Located at the corner of Western & 7th Street (next to Boba Story), it is a cozy spot for some Korean-style pho especially on a breezy evening. I ordered their Pho Gyu 101, without jalapeños and onions (due to dietary reasons). On top of their menu, there is also a bar offering different toppings located on the left side of the restaurant. Our orders were ready in approximately 7 minutes and were piping hot. I truly dig the presentation of their pho on a ramen-style bowl. At first I was puzzled, but it suited well with Pho Gyu's modern and fusion concept. It had a generous amount of thin rice noodles, thinly sliced beef, pho broth and dashes of cilantro and sliced green onions. On the first sip, I can taste so much umami and is genuinely among the best phos I tasted in KTown. I truly was impressed with the thinly sliced beef because the texture reminded me of gyudon, except in the form of pho. The beef was fresh, tender and truly tasty. I did not leave this place without finishing my entire bowl. I will definitely be back again at Pho Gyu to try their other pho bowls and their rice plates too!

Pho broth was flavorful and the meat was average quality (wagyu toro). Love the self service toppings bar where you can get onions, cilantro, basil, and bean sprouts!

As someone who used lived in 626, this place is a DREAM COME TRUE. The pho game in Koreatown was pretty weak before Pho Gyu came along. I absolutely love their Rib Pho. The meat is so tender and the broth is so rich, savory, and nourishing for my soul. Sometimes, I get their chicken vermicelli which greatly satisfies my salad/greens cravings. My boyfriend gets the house special spicy pho so if you like spicy food, I recommend that!

Highly recommend. Service is quick. Waiter was attentive. Loved how they had ac blasting on summer day. They also have the toppings as self serve so I loved that idea since I love having insane amount of onions with my pho lol thank you for allowing me to gorge on those sliced onions!!

Small, but pretty bomb Walked 10 min bc we couldn't find parking close by, but was worth it The taro veggie rolls were my fav The shrimp pho also had lots of flavor, both broths pictured are delicious Wouldn't recommend the chicken dumplings

The pho broth. The service. Absolutely great. Found my new k town pho spot to go to. The veggies toppings bar was so fresh and you can get as much as you want. Wish I had a bigger appetite for the fresh bottomless noodles too.

Incredible quality of broth for the regular and spicy bowls. Service was quick. In and out, dinner for 2 was 25-30 minutes. Has a clean, modern interior and packs the same punch as an old school pho spot. Same reasonable price too.

So yeah..... I'm in LOVE. Unlimited noodles and a topping bar so that you don't have the bug the staff when you want more onion, bean sprouts, etc. it's a new place and I cannot stop thinking about it. Few parking spots in their lot but I've never had issues when frequently the boba place next door.

First time at Pho Gyu and saw it was new- exciting! Food: -Wagyu beef pho: the meat was good and it wasn't stringy or squishy which I really appreciate. The soup was pretty clean tasting which I also like a lot! The noodles were also well cooked (not overly mushy noodles or undercooked). So yay! -Self serve for sides: I thought this was a great idea since I'm such a sides-gal but my partner did say that it could get messy if not checked on and can be a bit more hectic at times so differing opinions! But I got to have my side of chopped onions and cilantro doused with sriracha and other sauce to my heart's content without having to ask again so my introvert heart was pleased Service: -Very fast! Ambiance: -Quite busy and lots of hustle and bustle which is great for them Overall: -We still have a love for pho 2000, but pho gyu is a great alternative/choice as well! The wagyu beef and self-serve sides is definitely different and was great about this spot that I haven't really seen in the usual spots. So will definitely be back!

Food was DELICIOUS! Especially after getting some macha from the local cafes. Our server Kylie we super nice. And attended to use quickly. Would definitely come in again when I'm in the area.

Randomly pick this place within Korean restaurants district . Turned out very delicious. I ordered wagyu beef Pho fresh and tasty! Self service Condiments by the counter. Interior is simple and clean . Small parking lot.

This place has been opened for about a month. I was pleasantly surprised, but the food here is amazing! The broth tasted authentic like Saigon. I got the Pho Gyu, which is the underbelly portion of the cow. There is a service station where you get your own bean sprouts, basil, lemon, jalapeños, white onions, and more. Take as much as you want to eat (but don't waste). Service was amazing. Super friendly staff. Pho Gyu: A Beef Wagyu Bahn Mi: B+. The Bahn Mi was delicious, but tasted more Japanese / Korean than it did Vietnamese. Still delicious! Hope this place stays around because I'll be a repeat customer!

I really liked how they have a self-serve bar for cilantro, limes, and bean sprouts. The service was super fast and the price is very good. Its a quick in-and-out noodle spot. The broth was very good too!

It seems like this spot is new. The inside was clean and bright. Service was quick and efficient. Pho broth was a 7 out of 10 - unfortunately they do not have the beef oil "Nuoc Beo" when i asked. I was kind of disappointed at the Pho choices as they only have the ones with meat slices and no meatball options etc. I did like the veggie bar where you get your onions, green onions and cilantro. Their home made eggroll and fish sauce were SUPER good though. I will maybe come back.

Pho Gyu takes over what I think was previously also a pho spot, but elevates the ambiance and brings a variety of pho and banh mi. Spring Rolls - liked the peanut sauce and fairly sufficient cuts of shrimp and lean brisket. Good starter Wagyu beef pho - decent broth flavor that was a tad sweet, beef was good quality albeit thin, thin noodles were fine. Rib pho - a meatier broth than the wagyu beef which I liked, rib was cooked well, good value. If you are dining in and don't plan on taking home left overs, they offer unlimited noodle refills! Be sure to let it sit in the broth again and it's a bit clumpy otherwise. But free is free! Service is solid.

WHO MADE MY FOOD!??!!!!!!!? who made my pho soup and dumplings!!!!???? BECAUSE they deserve a kiss so damn good. I'll be back

THIS IS MY FAV PLACE IN KTOWN!!! Super solid vietnamese food. I have tried almost everything on their menu and everything has been SO GOOD. I come here at least once a week and sometimes I still crave it. Everyone is so nice and there's even a condiments bar! I can get all the cilantro I want for my pho and it's amazing!!!

Update: Went back there; the wagyu beef pho is indeed very good, but the others were slightly disappointing: beef rib pho had delicious rib, and nicely separated noodles, but broth was average. House special spicy pho was really unexceptional, with grainy broth and no interesting flavorings, and while I ordered it with shrimp, exactly 4 shrimp were included. Still, recommended above others in the area, and will go back and see if it deserves that fifth star again.
