The Late-Night Love Story of LA’s Koreatown and Vietnamese Pho | Eater LA

"Previously located at Alexandria Plaza, Pho LA was one of the first 24-hour pho restaurants in Koreatown and I recall it becoming a late-night hangover staple—people would line up at 1 or 3 a.m. as the nightclub and bar crowd sought bowls of pho." - Lynn Q. Yu

I got a number 14 and it was absolutely incredible! It was just like in the picture, the best Pho I’ve had in all of Los Angeles. - the pricing is a bit steep, but trust me, it’s totally worth it!

The pho was good! The meat was tender as well! So much flavor in the broth, but not as clean as I like. I love that they have a fixings bar, so you can get all the toppings you want! (Swear places are stingy with the jalapeños,lol). Meat was fresh, even the rare steak! Anyway, I had the special pho, shrimp egg rolls and a Jarritos! I did not like the egg rolls, they were mushy inside (see pic). However, I love that they have a drink cooler for options other than traditional drinks! Totally going back to this, and would highly recommend.

There's a good reason why this place is five stars. Truly great portions. Flavors out of bounce. Very reasonable priced. Staff are super friendly. Restaurant is very chic and clean. Love the fresh kimchi and basil and sprouts bar. Recommended A+

I got the number 12, it was quite delicious! I finished my bowl. A good portion of beef, so not skimpy whatsoever. The pho feels quite refreshing and healthy. The place has a nice atmosphere as well.

This order was delivered by GrubHub and was delivered in appropriate time. The flavor of the pho broth was a little underwhelming and left me wanting a stronger taste. The restaurant does take the time to create an authentic broth but may cut the time short, leading to a lighter flavor. Since the broth can easily make or break a good bowl of Pho, this broth is 4 out of 5 stars, which is great for a regular location. While it's not the best in the area, it still has decent flavor. The chicken was a little chewy and did not soften after sitting in the broth for a while. The freshness of the chicken is questionable. As a frequent pho enthusiast, I was disappointed that this restaurant did not offer spring rolls, which is my go-to appetizer when judging a pho restaurant. This time I opted for the fried egg rolls and I was not impressed with the texture or flavor. Everything in the egg roll tasted old and lacked a desirable flavor. The pho broth container and the chicken &noodles container were both of good quality, as there were no spills in the bag, and kept everything warm during delivery. However, the pho ingredients and the egg rolls were delivered in Styrofoam packaging which is environmentally irresponsible. As seen in the pictures, the container with the egg rolls was either cut or melted in an unusual way. I suspect the restaurant cut the box to allow for venting and to prevent melting. Getting rid of the Styrofoam containers would yield a higher service rating. Overall, not too bad. I'd visit this restaurant again if I'm in the area.

Absolutely delicious! Pho Lala is a hidden gem in Koreatown. I came in craving something warm and comforting, and their pho hit the spot perfectly. The broth is flavorful and rich, not overly salty, and the meat was fresh and tender. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for LA. Staff was friendly and the service was fast. Also, the place was clean and had a cozy, no-frills vibe. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want authentic Vietnamese pho done right. Will definitely be coming back!

First time having pho in LA & this place did not disappoint for a late night eat. The menu was simple, not a lot of options, but I love a simple menu. I got the combo pho, broth was very flavorful, and it actually came out still very hot. They do offer self-serve garnishment for those of you who love those extra lime, basil, & bean sprouts.

What a pleasant surprise! The service here is very fast, friendly and efficient. The portions here are also extremely large and packed with lots of great flavor so come extra hungry!
