Pho Thai Town

If you want to tour the world on a budget, and have never been to Vietnam, then consider visiting Pho Thai Town. Have this small promo bowl of Pho --- incredibly priced at $5 --- and sit back and watch the lady try to upsell you everything on the menu: Springrolls? Pho Large Bowl? DrinK? The experience is authentic. The service is authentic. The Pho is authentic. The ambience is authentic. I was pleased to have spent only $5 and some change for lunch, but after I had handed the lady my $10 bill. She gave me $2 back. I told you it was authentic.

Exceptional pho! Seats 14 people inside. This is a family run business, and they are from Thailand so you know this is the real deal. Plus, large bowls for $6 and small bowls of pho for $4 just can’t be beat. My sister has been coming here for years, and I finally had a chance to come to Hollywood to experience this delicacy Noddles are cooked perfectly al dente. They have vegetarian options and vegan options! Almost everything here is gluten free because they use rice paper and rice noodles. Plenty of parking out front. Eat in or take their delicious food home with you. Cash only!

I ordered 2 pho, shrimp rolls, egg rolls, and fried rice. The food is really good, and so is their Thai Tea. However, they forgot to include my egg rolls in my bag, and I didn't check it before leaving. Overall,the food tastes great, just can't get over the fact that they missed my egg rolls. It really pisses me off.if they had gotten my order correct, it would be a 5 star review. I ordered 11/06/23

Great Vietnamese food! The Pho broth is amazing. If you ever ask for drunken noodles go for mild because even they are spicy. A great place for a quick bite overall.

Literally the highlight of my trip. Owners are hilarious and awesome and loving. We all had a great time. Do not miss your chance to score on this perfect little spot potentially no larger than your room, and yet super comfortable. (Love the large bench bar right up front) And only 4$ for a perfect little bowl of Pho that was literally more than plenty. Looking forward to rolling on back next time I roll back into LA! Till next time guys. Cheers, LG 🤙

SO GOOD. AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD. Price is super reasonable and the ladies who work there are so sweet and nice!!!! If I could give 10 stars I'd hand them all over to the ladies at Pho Thai Town!!

6 Tables.... $4 Plates of Bangkok Style Thai Food... Vegetarian Spring Roles Bursts with Crisp Flavors... Family Run Business... Cash Only..

Do yourself a favor and drive to a better place. The pho came out after a while of waiting even though we were the only ones in there when we ordered. They had added hoisin to the broth which made me wonder if they even had it fresh or made a quick shortcut version. The broth wasn’t hot enough to cook the beef and I had to ask to have it heated up. The sauce they serve you with the shrimp rolls is not the peanut sauce you normally get with rolls but a white mayo based sauce.

The place came back and has been remodeled. Much nicer. Still on the cheaper side. However, I do want to make a note that their pho is totally not worth it. It's not even you get what you pay for as it doesn't even taste like a pho I've had any other restaurant. It is sweet and no anise taste with a heap full of onions. Don't get their pho, maybe try something else

This is one of my favorite places ever and I'm glad they're reopened! I first went here years ago after moving to LA. It's a small mom and pops restaurant, very no frills, but the home cooking is unbeatable. The auntie behind the kitchen will whip up a combination of Thai and viet dishes that are extremely tasty and unbelievably cheap. My favorite is the beef fried rice with ground beef, seasoned and made to perfection. I've had all the items on the menu and they're simply amazing. The feeling of getting a home cooked meal is hard to find when you're living far from home, so this place has always had a special feeling to me.

I read from the Yelp reviews that this restaurant has "good cheap food". I agree, it's good but definitely nothing great. Because of the cheap price point my expectations were pretty low. My friend and I paid $24 for two spring rolls, garlic tofu over rice, pad see ew, and a small veggie pho. My favorite was the garlic tofu because it had the most flavor. The pho and pad see ew were okay, but nothing special. The spring rolls were weirdly wrapped and tasted gross. I would not recommend. You get what you pay for at this pho restaurant. I have to mention that the lady checking us out only put on a mask once we entered the restaurant. No one else working was wearing a mask. I would recommend wearing masks out of the courtesy and safety of their customers. Are they breathing on the food? Touching it? No matter what your views are on this pandemic, this is food we are consuming so I think the more safe the better.

This is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall, cash-only spot in a stripmall on Hollywood Blvd. We got the tofu pho ($6), which is vegan by default. It was fine, but nothing to go out of your way for. The spring rolls with tofu ($4) were bland, but we did love the fried garlic they put in it. Lastly, the drunken noodles with tofu ($6) is vegan by default. This was too salty and lacking any vegetables. Given all the good Thai spots around, I wouldn't bother with Pho Thai Town, unless you're desperate for pho, which isn't too common in East Hollywood.

Super cheap and the food is amazing! I always get their pho and fried chicken, the staff is super friendly too!

I was planning to have dinner at a place near this store but I arrived too early. The place I was planning to go to doesn't open until 7pm but I was already hungry. I didn't want to really spoil my appetite for the planned dinner so I looked for another place for light bites. This store quickly grabbed my attention when I saw a banner that says pho for $4. It was really hard to believe so I went inside to check and yes, it turned out to be true although all transactions are all cash basis only. I ordered the beef brisket pho. My order was served quickly. After adding some garnishing, I started to dive in. It was flavorful and filling enough. However, it's not the best tasting one I had but I do understand you get what you pay for. The place is definitely a hole in the wall with 4 tables for 2 and a bar type seating with 4 chairs. The parking lot is shared with the store business establishments. No restroom and the deal breaker? No AC so I was sweating profusely while eating that piping hot pho.

We came here, because it was cheap, and we didn't have a lot of cash. Food was amazingly tasty. Good and spicy! We had the sour pork with egg (over sticky rice), and the pho beef (spicy). The sour pork was a fermented meat, and I don't know what the family recipe was there, but I've never tasted anything so flavorful. I don't care about fancy seating or ambiance; this food was killer and worth every dollar!

This place hits the mf SPOT. Went here after quite a few drinks across the street at the wine bar, and we were struck by a sudden craving for pho. The place is absolutely tiny, but at least you know that means you won't get ignored by the waitstaff. It's good and it is SO CHEAP. I got the small pho for $4, and even that felt like a substantial portion! It was yummy and like I said, it satisfied the craving. It's cash only, though, so be aware of that. We had to walk to the Wells Fargo ATM on the corner because I almost never carry cash. But worth the little roundabout for such good value. There is a parking lot, but it's very teensy.

This place was good. They serve you very quickly. The food is very inexpensive. We are talking about $4 pho (small). I got Pork Spring Rolls (split them with someone) comes in 2 and then I got a large pho all for around $10 bucks! It is CASH ONLY! Which they remind you before you order. The service was nice there were many people that came in and out while we were there. Main drawback was that the pho wasn't the best I've had. A bit on the saltier side. Tasty non the less. I guess you get what you pay for! worth the price that is was.

This is a small; underrated, family-own Vietnamese eatery right at the edge of East Hollywood. The most astonishing dish is a $4 bowl of Pho! Try finding that anywhere else in this state! The quality did not lack either. The ingredients here are fresh; and prepared to order. There is quite the diverse menu here for such a small, local establishment. There is limited seating here; albeit they also have takeout; for a $1 added surcharge to the bill; if that makes sense.. Staff here is mostly the 2 owners and the chef; which are attentive; friendly; and super down-to-earth. This food does not just 'taste' authentic; it is. Besides for the Chicken Pho; we ordered a seafood fried rice. This was only $8, and very generous with the portions. It was not too spicy or lackluster; but there is always the option to add or take away even more, depending on your preference! If only this location had a new awning; or was less away from the street; the location definitely does not do this place the justice it deserves. I will be back soon, no matter what.

First time here and asked for the seafood pho. Instead of squid I asked for extra shrimp as they charged me for it. I only got 3 shrimp, 1 muscle which was embedded in these hard ass noodles that have obviously been sitting all day with a little onion and old cilantro. Never will I come back!! The large is 6 and the spring roles 4 but my total was almost $15 and all that wasn't tax was ripped off!! Oh yeah and there was only 1 shrimp in each spring roll

Just finished walking out of a boring show at the Greek Theater (name withheld to avoid offending any fans of the artist.). We decided a nice bowl of noodles would make us feel better. I did a quick Yelp search for "noodles" in the area and Pho Thai Town came out on top. It was close and the ratings were good. In just a few minutes we were in town...Pho Tai Town that is!! I loved the vibe. Very simple. Kinda' divey, but in a great way. It's really small. Just a few tables and chairs. I loved everything about it. The staff was terrific, so kind and friendly. We both had the large bowl of Super Pho. $6. It has rare beef, well done brisket, tendon and beef balls. Sounds like a lot, but the ingredients are sparse. It's not a super filling bowl, but it was plenty satisfying. I lived the broth. It's cash only, so hit the ATM before you go. There's a parking lot that's shared with another restaurant and a couple other businesses. At 10pm it was easy to find parking in their lot. Free parking I might add! Even though I only give it three stars, it doesn't mean I'm not a fan. I would definitely eat here again. Pho Thai Town, thanks for taking the sting off a lousy concert at the Greek. You were great comfort food!!

The best VEGAN PHO just like that! DELICIOUS, simple and cheap! The spring roll, the fried rice... I mean everything was just amazing. If you are a fan of soups, specially pho and you are near Hollywood this is a must! Tiny place, Great service !!!

Inside it can be tight as there are a total of 3 tables and bar seating. Counted all together were about 10-12 seats inside. CASH ONLY. $4 for a bowl of pho is a steal. $6 for the super pho (which is a combo to include all the meats) is still worth it. The price you pay for the quality you get is decent and worth it if you need to fill your belly and don't need the refinement of a higher end establishment. $6 For drunken noodles is also tasty and flavorful. Your noodles are not dry and have a depth of flavor throughout. The downfall is that their dishes are served with your choice of ground meats. Rather than the usual meat options of slices meats you have ground beef, pork, chicken, and tofu. Our server lady was very nice. It's your typical mom and pop type of hole-in-the-wall that you want to go back to. Parking is difficult as they share a lot with other business on the strip. Street parking is equally as difficult.

3.5 stars Came here while craving for some pho... ORDERED (in order of preference): - Pad Ka Pow w/ chicken (4/5 stars): Your choice of meat stir fried in their signature spicy basil sauce, served over rice. This dish was indeed delicious, the basil flavor was well pronounced and the dish was spicy enough (they ask you how spicy you'd like it, I said "spicy" and it was a 6 out of 10 for spiciness). The basil sauce flavors the rice well without overly drenching it. Yum! - Thai Iced Tea (4/5 stars): Really good flavor, but way too many ice cubes... lowers the actual Thai Tea quantity :( - Rare Beef pho (3/5 stars): $4 for small, or $6 for large. I ordered the small size. Noodles were a bit too hard, beef was rather dry, but the light soup was tasty and flavorful (I usually prefer the lighter colored pho soups as opposed to the darker, sweeter kind). Not bad for $4, I'm glad they have smaller portion options so that I can order other dishes to try without killing my wallet :P OVERALL Not too sure if I'll be back soon, but perhaps if I'm craving a delicious plate of chicken w/ basil sauce on rice.... :) CASH ONLY

I've only had pho here and I was actually surprised at the fact that a Thai/ Vietnamese fusion restaurant executed a delicious pho! My bf ordered the beef brisket pho (small) $4, yeah $4! I ordered the shrimp pho (large) $6, yeah $6! Cheapest prices I've ever seen for pho! The broth was very flavorful, the noodles were just right, and I made sure to slurp it all up! This is a very small place and run by two people, who were also very friendly. They have a counter and four tables to sit at. Don't forget that they are also CASH ONLY. So if you are hungry for that warmth only pho can provide, make your way here!

Miss this place so hard. If the proprietors are out there, somewhere, slinging pho and fried rice, let me know!

I hate to give a mom and pop shop a bad review, but this was just sad. I came here because it was the way home from Glendale Galleria to WeHo. Got the $6 large #8 Pho, small #18 Tofu Pho, and spring roll with shrimp. Must I say this is by far the saddest pho we've ever had. The noodles came apart as soon as we dug into our soup. Even after reheating the soup, the noddles are just meh. My photos should do justice. On another note, parking sucks. I had to wait about 15-20 mins because the parking spot was so cramped. I didn't even know how to maneuver after asking someone how they would leave their parking spot and was given that bad eye. So close to driving all the way to my go-to spot in KTwon and I should've. Tsk tsk.

Thai version pho for cheap, with thai food ranging from $4 -$9. They have small $4 or large bowls sizes $6. Broth is clean and light but others may think its not as flavorful or watered down. This place is one of those convenient location type of eats since there isn't a clean broth (pho) type of soup place in Thaitown, east Hollywood and Los Feliz area. Prices and opening times has been changed on their menu. A couple of items have gone up $1. They open at 12pm instead. Small hole in wall joint. Small parking lot. Cash only.

A couple of things about Pho Thai Town. - The service is quick, but they also try to kick you out of the restaurant because it's smaller. - They surely have cheaper items on their menu, but there are smaller portions per dish. Also, this is not a place to get good pho. - The pad see ew is pretty good, though.

The definition of "hole in the wall". There's only 2-3 small tables, no liquor, and no public restroom, so it's definitely more of a take out type place. We, however, enjoyed dining in and being served by the friendly "Mom" who joked around about how the Singha hat on the wall was the only Singha that they have, and who asked "spicy enough?" when we had ordered our food spicy and it was definitely very spicy (no messing around here). The prices can't be beat, with dishes ranging from $4 to $6. We ordered the chicken spring rolls, chicken drunken noodles, and pad ka pow chicken (served with white rice) with a diet coke and an organic ginger drink and the bill came out to about $21. The portions weren't huge, just enough for us to finish everything and leave full. So if you want leftovers, you may want to order a couple extra dishes. They cater to your spice level, and as I mentioned we went with spicy and that it was. Everything was really good and a bargain for what they were charging. I only wish it was closer to me so that I could go more often!

Had lunch in here. Small restaurant and cheap, because the dishes are all simple: ground pork with rice, $1 extra if u want tiny egg, no other veggies at all. DEFIANTLY NOT PET FRIENDLY People are ok and friendly in the beginning. We didn't know that dog is not allowed. When my mom came in with our dog, the guy ( the cook?)starting yelling super LOUD " GET OUT". I mean we will follow the rule if you can just let the customer know politely. Very rude. Will not come back again.

I was really hopeful of a good PHO experience but it was very disappointing on so many levels: 1. Not friendly- only one staff claims to speak english but even then she messed up my order of fish balls and instead just gave me a vegetarian oho dish. 2. Broth is watered down however really high on the salt taste. Pretty much if I boiled water and added salt. 3. Dirty table with wet rag smell. I'd understand if it was summer but it's dead cold winter. 4. Toppings like the sprouts and basil leaves were super dry and looked like it's been out for days. I don't recommend going here even as cheap as it is. You're paying for a lot less.a lot lot less.

I like how the food is cheaper compared to other places. But it's better if you're not Asian and come here because you get better service. The place is pretty small and can fit about 12 people. They first gave me someone else's dish, but I think they would have charged me for eating it, so I just told them they sent it to the wrong person. I got the large rare beef bowl and its smaller than normal, but it filled me up amazingly, which makes me wonder if they out some powder to make you more full after your portion. But overall it was good food

What are you waiting pho? Go right now! So I was hangry (like usual) and looking for hot, yummy pho and shelter from this depressing, rainy weather. This is a hole-in-a-wall establishment just as other Yelpers describe. Grassroots, cannot sit too much but surprisingly efficient and effective. This cute establishment's style reminds me of auntie's home cooking like eating at a friend's house whose mother cooks for us. Good times! :) In addition, I tried the super bowl pho beef noodles which were delicious-broth was light and not too heavy, nor greasy oily like other pho establishments. Also, I tried the yummy chicken pad see ew and green Thai ice tea. Both were good. Yes, I oinked so don't judge me! Haha! Furthermore, I shocked the waitress because I ate so damn much so I tipped above average for her impressive patience and awesome services. Why I needed more napkins but made do with my only one. Last but not least, parking sucks just get an Uber. Haha! Jk Just find side street parking, or park in front of the restaurant if you are lucky! - Cash payments only! - $4 small bowl of hot, delish pho! - $6 large bowl of hot, delish pho! - Restroom avail 4 paying & polite customers!

Amazing price. $4.00 for small bowl. My whole bill was $10.35, for a small rare beef pho, two pork spring rolls, and a Diet Coke. Yummy! Small restaurant and cash only.

So difficult to find parking on a weekday evening here, but people manage to park in non-designated parking spots in the lot out front to squeeze in a few more cars. $6 large pho! (Large here is regular sized elsewhere) doesn't taste really natural and not sure if ingredients are the most wholesome top of line quality ingredients but for the price, I can't complain. Went back a few days later for their pad thai. Wish there was less salt and pepper. |Check out @eugeniaeats on Instagram for more amateur shots of beautiful and delicious food|

Looking for a cheap, yet delicious and filling dinner? Stop by at Pho Thai Town! Although the place is extremely small with very few seatings, they serve good foods for an awesome price. The price ranges from $4-8 max! I got the Pad Ka Pow Chicken, which was delicious although very spicy. You get to choose the level of spicyness, and I regret getting medium, lol. Definitely go with mild if you can't do spicy. My brother got the Pad See Eiw, and he liked it very much. Both dishes came out piping hot, which was very nice considering it was a cold night. Portion was good enough to fill you up as well! They have all the condiments and sauces on the table for you, but I didn't use any as my dish was already spicy and salty (maybe a little bit too salty for my taste). Overall, I'm glad I came here for dinner. Definitely was very easy on my wallet and my belly and taste buds were satisfied!

Came here with zero expectations and came out pretty happy. I ordered the $6 combination pho. I was unable to bastardize my order and replace the noodles with egg noodles... because they simply did not carry egg noodle. I spent my time waiting by watching a guy struggle to get out of his parking spot. When he was out, the food was ready. I felt like there was a good amount of noodles and soup, and extremely little meat. Hence, the $6 portion. They also skimped out on the greens (mint, lime, etc.). There's an array of sauces, including a mysterious 'special sauce' that I did not try. My husband and I finished our food, and we were still hungry. We ordered an additional beef jerky and that did the trick. The bill was a total of $20. Here are some notes: - Parking can be difficult. There's a semi small lot, but it was packed on a Monday night. Spots are pretty tight as well. - Cash Only! - There are not many seats inside. I highly recommend finding a different restaurant if your party has more than four people.

Cash only!!! Worth every penny!!!! No complaints! Greatest pho I've tasted!!!! Love it! Try it!

I love this place!!!!! It's so amazing! The flavor is just delicious. I can't believe this place exists in LA at this price point! Price point aside this is the best Thai food I've ever had! I've been to tons of Thai places and none of them even come close to touching this place! Come here! You won't regret it! When I walked in they immediately seated me at a clean table and gave me a menu/ asked for my drink order. There is zero time waisted at this restaurant which is great. This place is a hidden gem! I ordered brisket pho, chicken fried rice and drunken noodles which all arrived at my table within 5-10mins! I can't stress enough how delicious everything was. I'm so glad I stubbled upon this place and recommend everyone coming in for authentic Thai food/ pho!

I love this hole in the wall. A) It's open late'ish, until 11pm. B) It's cheap AF C) The food is tasty with decent portions D) The owner is hilarious IMPORTANT: Cash only. Need I say more?

As much as I appreciate how tiny, odd, and cheap this place is, the food was really sub-standard and not as fresh as you'd expect from a place that serves Thai/Vietnamese food. The decor is interesting and seemed like just my kinda place to get some lunch without breaking the bank. Little rubber duckies floating around in a huge martini glass...more in a vase with a fake orchid...Singha beer cans fashioned into a baseball hat and hanging on the wall...all very charming. I ordered spring rolls with grilled pork and the special beef pho without beef balls. I would've also gotten a Thai tea but they didn't have coconut milk to substitute for cream, which upsets my stomach. It's just as well because seeing the big jugs of the dark Thai tea "mix" made it sound really unappealing. 2 Spring Rolls in an order and they were mostly iceberg lettuce. One strip of chewy and sad looking beef in each roll, with a measly amount of shredded carrot and one Thai basil leaf each. Dipping sauce was indispensable for making this appetizer have any flavor. Beef pho didn't taste that great. The little plate with the Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño, and lime was a bit lackluster. Bean sprouts looked a little past their prime. The broth of the pho tasted like the seasoning or sauce was the only thing giving it flavor, rather than actual bone broth. It was rather watery. The beef strips inside it were grey and unappealing. Although I didn't finish it, I don't remember there being any tendon, though it could've been underneath all the noodles I left unfinished. The disposable chopsticks they give you are really short and hard to eat the pho's noodles with. This is a meal that from any other place would have left me feeling full, satisfied, and even tranquil (good pho has that effect on me). As it were, I walked out hungry.

Some of the best Pho I have had in LA, made by Thai people. Pho Thai Town makes Thai specialities such as noodles and curries, along with their own twist on the classic Vietnamese pho. Service is friendly and very quick, considering the small staff. For $4, I got a healthy portion of noodles, tofu, and veggies in a delicious flavorful broth. They offer two vegan options-tofu, and mixed vegetarian. Ingredients tasted very fresh. This space itself is very small, only able to seat about 8 people max, and they accept cash only. I look forward to returning for more incredible $4 Pho, and to try more of their authentic Thai dishes.

I was a long time customer here. Moved to another city. Finally had a chance to come back to little Armenia and visit my old pho place. after my visit: I was very disappointed. was surprised to see how dirty is this place know starting from kitchen all the way to plates and spoons. I got a bowl with pomade. We order a classic pho small portion. The broth was horrible . Meat wasn't taste either. Ahhh guys so sad. Please take some improvements!!!

Great food!! It was fresh and spicy! I took one star off because of the parking... it was difficult...

It's Viet + Thai food without the production. The super bun (6) has a great flavor and felt very refreshing. The meat was ground up, but tasted so good. The pad see ew (6) was delicious, but on the smaller size for the price compared to other places in this area. The pot sticker appetizers (5) were small Trader Joe's potstickers heated up. Skip it. Humble place with friendly owners - perfect for lunch. I read a review that was stating that this place doesn't have liquor. Duh. LOL. They didn't have a bouncer either. Rollin' my eyes!

Friendly staff with a nice taste Good view for a picture with ur family I will recommend it to my friends

This place has the best fried rice! I absolutely loved all of the food. It is very fast, cheap, and delicious! I am definitely coming back every time I visit this area! Tips: They only accept cash and add $1 for any to go orders Always get the large pho. The small is only $4 but for $2 more you get a much bigger bowl with a lot more.

I will give you a word of warning that the space here is VERY limited. But if you appreciate the good ol' "mom n pop" hole in the wall restaurant than Pho Thai Town is the place for you. I was amazed at the simplicity of the menu and how well-priced all the dishes were. Put it this way, the most expensive item on the menu was $8 while all the other dishes were $6 on average. i had the Thai sausage appetizer which was sweet to the taste complimented with a tangy sauce that was quite light to start out my dinner. I would definitely recommend this dish as an appetizer if you need something to stretch out your stomach. For the main dish i ordered the Pork Pad Ka Pow. The dish came out on a plate with steaming white rice looking fresh as ever. Delightfully spicy with plenty of herbs stir fried into it. I also ordered their their green tea thai tea drink, which surprisingly tastes exactly as the name describes it to be. Very refreshing to see a combination of two drinks that i love very much. My exact rating would actually be 3.5 stars. This is due to the quality of the pho that i tried as well. The broth was very bland and it didn't taste very much like anything to tell you the truth. I was thankful i had ordered something else on the menu and had only tried some of my friend's pho order. I expected much better pho for a place that is named Pho Thai Town. Bottom line, my recommendation is to come here for the other dishes other than Pho. Definitley coming back for the Bun noodle dish!

Lemme tell you about Pho Thai Town. This place looks and operates like it's still in Thailand. The parking lot is a clusterf**k -- the cars are 2-3 rows deep. Looks like a game of tetris out there with the old dude navigating the way. You know the dude. He's totally legit. If he asks for your keys it's cool, just give it him. The restaurant looks like it hasn't seen a deep cleaning or an update since the 80s. Dudes in the front hanging over the counter. Lady in the back is all business. Sometimes dude is in the back cooking. Sometimes lady is upfront taking orders. Whatever. Do we really care about ambiance if you're getting a $4 bowl of pho tho? Prices are 3rd world country cheap. Things will run from $2 drinks to $6 entrees. Pho is the Lao version of pho. A little heavier, a little meatier, well-rounded, salty and begging for acid. Yes the $4 bowl is small but remember we're overseas where the portions are smaller. Personally I prefer this lady-like bowl of soup. It makes me feel less guilty when I walk over to International Bakery for a ponchik. Use that green sauce, for the love of God. The green sauce is Thai's answer to Mexican salsa. It's spicy vinegary. Goes good on everything. Goes great in pho. Pour a little on your spoon and take a sip. You'll get it. I've never seen it anywhere before. I think that lady might've made it up. Who cares just eat it. There's a thing called Green Thai tea. I thought it would be just matcha with milk. Not in this house. It's green and Thai tasting. I have no idea how the lady made it but it's good. Tastes floral, a bit sour with the sweet. I do prefer their Thai tea but the Green Thai tea is a unique alternative. I've ordered their pad see ew, beef fried rice and chicken basil rice. Like typical Lao dishes it's heavy handed on the oyster sauce. I say stick with the pho. The food is a solid 4 stars but it's the price point that keeps me coming back.

Pho Thai Town is one of the best hole in the wall and/or mom and pops restaurant ever! And they serve both Thai and Vietnamese dishes, so what's not to love? Most of their dishes are $4-6. Yes, you heard that right! What a steal, especially since I'm used to San Francisco prices. - Nam Neung Spring Rolls ($4): those crispy egg roll skin really make this dish shine! Definitely a little different, in a good way, compared to other spring rolls. - Pork Dumplings ($4): nice and crispy on the outside, juicy meat on the inside. - Seafood Rad Na ($9): they definitely don't skimp on the seafood here! - Spicy Drunken Noodle ($6): this dish was a little too salty for my taste.. - Pho ($6): great portions and the broth was on point! The place is small, with 4-5 counter seats and 3 small tables. The owners are very nice and fun to chat with. A lot of the people who came in to dine were regulars! That's always a good sign. :)

10000000% the best soup I've had in my entire life. GET THE SPICY THAI NOODLE SOUP. I implore you it will change your life and the way you see soup forever.

This is my spot! I've never lived walking distance to a pho place and that is awesome! A small bowl of pho is $4!!! A larger bowl is $6! The seafood fried rice is $8! I wish they had crispy rolls that would really complete my experience. It's a small place so it won't seat a big party but you can also take away. They are pretty fast!

One of the best pho spots in East Hollywood. It is cheap and fast and the taste is always on point! The chicken larb here is good as well but not particularly large portion. I typically get the chicken pho and the broth is tasty and noodles are perfection. Def my go to spot on rainy and cold da

Go for Lek-Tom-Yum!!! Thin noodles with many kind of ingredients like ground porks, fish balls & veggies topped. Not only a noodle soup I have mentioned before.. Definitely another dishes on the menu, they are served Thailand authentic taste in each dishes by owners.

Just finished my meal here. Wow. Yummy. $6 drunken noodle with tofu and most options are only $4! I love that they have veg options that are truly veg (no sneaky fish sauce). It is cash only, so come prepared. There also isn't a lot of seating. Only about 12 seats, but while we wait quite a few people came in to pick up to go orders. Parking can be tricky here too, but we got a metered spot right out front right at 8pm. A solid, tasty and CHEAP dinner. Total for both of us? $14 for two entrees and two sodas. At prices and food this good, I'm down to tip 50%!

This seems to be a very popular place and really is a hole in the wall as described in other reviews. Having only about 3-4 tables and a long counter, they serve both Vietnamese and Thai cuisine at relatively low prices. Although, the portions are smaller too so I guess you get what you pay for. I and a friend decided to stop by here to grab a few plates to share. She wanted pho and I had wanted Thai food so this place was perfect since we could get both here. We ended ordering the Special Pho which had the beef brisket, tendons and whatever else is included in this typical dish. In addition, we ordered an appetizer plate of Fresh Spring Rolls and a plate of chicken fried rice. The pho broth wasn't very flavorful in my opinion which probably means it wasn't simmering for hours like it's know to be done. It was a good sized bowl since it was considered the larger bowl on the pho list. I had to add a few of the sauces on the table such as the Hoisin sauce and spicy sauce to beef up the flavor a bit. The noodles also stuck together more than in other places serving pho. The fried rice was decent, just a little bit soggy which could just mean they used the regular fluffier rice they serve with other dishes. I believe rice for fried rice should be cooked with less water if being used so it's not as soggy but that's just my thought and I think I've seen or heard of it done that way. Otherwise, the flavor was decent and I'd order this again. The spring rolls were just average too. The sauce that comes with it is tasty and really helped because there was just something about it that seemed a little different than the other Vietnamese spring rolls that I've had. I couldn't quite put my finger on it however. It was still alright for the price and I don't expect amazing flavors here with the price that we're paying. Overall I've decided that it's a really good place to get filled up on the cheap. I mean, to be able to get dishes at $4 is pretty incredible at today's prices. The flavors aren't spectacular but they aren't terrible either so just know that going in. They are located in a small strip mall so parking can be very tight during the peak times. Other than that, the owners are very friendly but know that they will rush you out and discourage lingering after you've eaten due to the limited space.

This place is the spot in Thai Town if you're looking for good and cheap pho. I ordered takeout recently and they were quick, friendly and packed everything so efficiently. I ordered a large beef brisket pho and Thai tea for under 10$. Small order of pho is $4 and large is 6$. There's areas to sit and dine or you can call ahead or come in for take out. I'd highly recommend if you're in the area.
