Pho Hai Walnut

The key to any good pho is the broth. The broth is done right at Pho Hai, except for a little too strong on the anise side. Otherwise, it would be perfect and an "A." I had the Tai Nam, No. 13. The meat portion is generous, and the rare steak is of good quality, close to a filet mignon. The "nam," well-done flank, is cooked to the right tenderness. I would say that Pho Hai is the best of all the Pho in Walnut, West Covina, Roland Heights, Diamond Bar, and the City of Industry, again except for a little too strong with anise. Parking: Parking is a little tight during rush lunch hours. I usually come either before noon or after 1.

Cơm tấm is straight from the fridge and is microwaved for you, I can tell. Bad

I'm going to preface this review by stating that I'm Vietnamese American, born and raised in Orange County, in the heart of Little Saigon. Needless to say, it is really hard to find good Vietnamese restaurants outside of the county. That being said, I was skeptical to try this place, and I'm glad I did, because trời ơi! People are really missing out. I walked in and could immediately tell that the food was going to be good, based on the Vietnamese drama playing in the background, and Vietnamese music, but wanted to keep my hopes down. Walking in, the place feels like any old mom and pop shop back at home. I ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt and was immediately impressed with the smell. Upon first sip of the soup, I was floored. The phở is as good as when my bà ngoại makes it. The only thing though, is there is very little cilantro and very little râu thơm, but all is forgiven considering the taste is exceptional. I also ordered the large cà phê sữa đá and it's pretty strong. Good, but my personal preference is sweeter. This is more akin to what my own dad would like, but that just means it's authentic. I'm so glad I gave this place a try. Rất ngon!

I tried Pho for the first time. The broth had so much flavor. Delicious and very filling. Would definitely come back again.

Not a bad spot for pho outside of Little Saigon. I’m super picky with my pho and this place is quite decent for this area! The soup was flavorful & seemed like quality broth. The meat was standard and on par with many pho shops. The vegetable tray was a little small though, they give very little basil & bean sprouts. Overall, I was not expecting much considering I dropped off my gf at school in this area and had to get my pho fix (I am from Little Saigon). It was a pleasant surprise, so give it a shot!

So far one of my favorite pho place! The taste is good every time I went, recommend the noodle with beef and pig fee, it has a spicy flavor but not actually spicy. Just this time I ordered large but the portion is much less than usually :(

This used to be a very good spot for pho, the ownership changed around late 2021 and the quality of their pho broth has gone down quite a bit. A lot less flavor in their pho broth nowadays. It’ll do the trick if you’re looking for something quick and last minute, otherwise, there are better options for sure
