Pho Gia Lynh

PLEASE READ! We went there over the weekend for a quick bite to eat as we were in a rush, we received our food after 30 minutes, it was pretty good, place is clean however please look at the pictures, they basically cooked the food with the sticker still on the vegetable. I am not even sure if they properly wash them. We showed it to our server he apologized and asked if we want a fresh one, my gf since she was half way done with the food and we were in a rush and late told him no it's ok. He did take it to show to his manager. They didn't even offer to compensate for her food which normally in any good restaurant when something like this happens or even a strand of hair they compensate to at least make it right.

I'm a regular at this Vietnamese restaurant, both for dine-in and takeout. It's hands down one of the best spots in the area, with consistently delicious food and an incredibly warm and friendly staff. Their kindness truly makes the dining experience unforgettable.

This place used to be good a year or two ago. It used to be so flavorful! It was delicious! Now, unfortunately, it has fallen. They changed the recipe on spring rolls, less basil, added cold pork. At least the peanut sauce is still good. The pho, used to be the most flavorful broth I've had for pho. Now it just tastes like water that had a couple herbs simmer in it for a few minutes. Almost flavorless, and what flavor is there is severely lacking. Good bye pho gia lynh. You used to be my favorite. Now you're shadow of your former self. Good luck.

Visited to re-try the place as locals. Where just knowing pho is around was good enough back then. I'm not sure if their prices are worth it. Broth seems okay clean, light but a little plain. I like their take out to-go containers which you can just eat out of. When it comes to pho and bun bo hue goodies, they like almost one of each item just to meet there marketed list. There are more slices of meat but a normal amount compared to other places which were okay. Bun bo hue was nothing special. Pho broth was okay. But I do appreciate it being a bit more clean (don't feel the heavy msg in here compared to other places). If they either offered more or better quality goodies, or just tad more flavorful broth, then maybe might be worth it? We're still looking for our favorite casual pho joint. Everything seems disappointing or underwhelming from someone coming from SoCal (626 and Westminster taste buds). Many of these places are priced either the same or higher than SoCal prices, but no where close in satisfaction. Old 2 years ago review: Combination and broken rice dish was decent. Pretty interior wall art. Our server was non-Asian, understood English. Great for random pho craving driving down the street.

Super expensive Pho. Almost $20 for a Pho. Broth is not hot enough.

We came from a far away place and I knew about this restaurant through social networks and wanted to go enjoy it, but their service was so bad, the waitress walked back and forth act like we don’t exist, asking for help, then she spoke very rudely to us. I don't know what to say but I think they need to retraining their servers, I haven't tasted their food yet, but seeing that grand opened and the service is like that, I don't need to enjoy the food anymore.

We wanted to try this place out so we waited about 20 minutes for a table. It was very busy, but by the time we were seated a majority of the people have left. Our order was placed and then the drinks were brought out. No straws were given so we were waiting for the server to come back but he never did.. We ended up leaving after an hour of being ignored…

We went here for some takeout. I really appreciated how the pho was ready to prepare when you got home. They separate out the ingredients for you to add at home. The to go bowl is microwave safe. Give it a couple of minites in the micro to get the beef cooked.

I saw grand opening sign and there was a waitlist, I was thinking can’t wait to try the food! Must be a great spot! Waited 15-20 min to be seated. Ordered right away. Noticed food had taken awhile about 40 min then kept looking for our server. Now it’s almost an hour and still no food and no server. We got up and paid for the drinks! After reading all the reviews maybe it wasn’t a grand opening because same rants about service from 2 years ago! Even if the food was super amazing I would never return.

I honestly would give the food a 0 because it never even came to the table after waiting over an hour. The waiter dropped off our drinks and never returned. Finally talked to someone and all she said was “sorry”. No explanation? Where’s my food? I’m still waiting for it….
