If you're looking at ambience and all that jazz then skip this. But if you are looking for a good bowl of noodle soup then give this a chance. It does look a lil dodgy on the outside but once inside its almost always full. Unpretentious, just all abt the food and quick service. I love pho but not many choices for me as I don't take beef. So this is abt the only few in LA that serves chicken pho in chicken broth (or pork broth if u choose the pork version). Most places only Hv the beef broth as base for all their pho whether chicken, pork, with exception for vegetarian. Great pick me up on a cold day. Free parking right behind the restaurant. And another highlight of this place is they serve the most awesome garlic and chili oil paste!
