It was definitely not the worst, but far from the best I’ve had in pho.

Service was slow with only 1 server work and came back second time with 2 servers. Took 30 mins to get the foods.

One of the best pho places ever! They charged higher that most Vietnamese places, but I guess it’s for the great vibes and decor. It’s a shame they are understaffed though. Hope management can resolve HR challenges to keep such a great place going!

Very good Vietnamese food. Spring rolls were delicious. Special thanks to the staff who helped me out with gluten-free info. I ordered what o thought was surely safe. Server came back to the table and said he checked and I should only order 1 of the dishes he rattled off.

So damn good! Amazing food with nicely balanced flavor and textures; great, friendly service; neat and clean appearance of cafe; options for everyone (dietary preferences-wise) – wow! I’ll definitely be back. Small suggestion: keep some no-sugar chilli oil or sauce on hand? Thanks for a fantastic meal!

We ordered Bun Rieu and the Pho Dac Biet. The food was subpar. Customer service was great. Restaurant atmosphere is chill and clean.

The vegan Chay pho is simple but delicious! Seems like the ethos of Nong LA is to stick to the basics and just make sure they’re made to perfect satisfaction, and that’s certainly the case with the Chay! The broth is light and flavorful; the noodles are a nice texture and don’t seem overcooked like at some other places. Also loved the crunchy addition of the daikon!

It’s okay. I’m not sure how authentic this place is but it’s not my go-to Viet place if I had to choose. The pho was not very flavorful, more on the bland side of taste. They do do a great job with the meats though which saved the meal. The tripe was really good too (and I don’t even like tripe). I would have to say their banh mi was better than the pho.

Excellent Pho. Recommend trying the Chefs Special and Bun Bo Hue- both delicious.

So delicious! The pho tai broth was flavorful with the beef was very tender. My partner had the bun rieu and it was also delicious. Really happy to find great Viet food nearby 🙂
