Modern Vietnamese fare with pho, banh mi & fish sauce wings
"The older sibling of our favorite/possibly only back-of-a-minimart pho place in town (ASAP Phorage), the Palms location of Phorage has a similar Vietnamese menu with more of an “I’d be happy to hang out here” vibe. The pho is the big attraction (the washugyu beef is the one to get), but there are also a few banh mis, vermicelli salads, and even a claypot chicken if you want to go big. This is some of our favorite Vietnamese food around." - Jess Basser Sanders
"If you feel like pho, this is your place. Phorage has modern Vietnamese food including really good pho & banh mi sandwiches. It's a very cozy place with a great interior decor." - Julian Gallardo Design
"Phorage may be known for their eponymous pho, but their fish sauce wings shouldn’t be missed. The wings are made with Mary’s Chicken and doused in a sweet and sticky sauce, before being served alongside cucumbers, pickled carrots, and lime. Plus, they’re available at both the West LA and West Hollywood locations." - Eater Staff
"A Los Angeles Vietnamese spot whose owner has had difficulty sourcing rice paper wholesale after his preferred Three Ladies brand became unavailable due to a container issue. For the past two to three months he has been driving into the San Gabriel Valley weekly to buy retail rice paper, which raises ingredient costs by roughly 40–50% and imposes significant opportunity costs in time and traffic. He reports similar intermittently unavailable items such as vegetarian stir-fry sauce and gluten-free soy sauce, but considers sourcing rice paper essential because spring rolls are a non-negotiable menu item." - Bettina Makalintal
"I learned that the original Phorage in Palms was the target of a smash-and-grab over the weekend; owner Perry Cheung said two people seemed to have made off with “practically empty safes,” and the aftermath is still visible on Instagram." - Farley Elliott
