iPho

I have been coming here for years and I’ve never noticed a change of quality in the food. Service is great and friendly it’s always cool inside so even on hot days I can get my phở fix. Great place to eat!

As others have mentioned, love the fact that their broth is less sweet compared to other phở places near by. Chicken (gai) phở comes with big breast meat chunks instead of pulled chicken meat which may or may not be to one’s liking. Also, try raw onion with the mixed sauce others have suggested. Happy to have found a Korean Vietnamese place with good service. :)

I’ve given this place a chance several times. Each time, doesn’t matter if we call in or I walk in to place an order, it’s never right. The tofu is too spongy and oily. They only have meat broth even if you order the vegetable tofu phở. I’m done, don’t waste your gas coming here.

disappointed. the spring rolls were very simple. the waitress messed up my order twice. the total was $ 25.04 and we gave them $ 30 and they kept it without giving us change back. we waited 5 – 10 minutes for the change. we had to ask them to give us change back…
do not recommend spring rolls and vermicelli noodles.

firs time here and I ordered the P2 and it was delicious. A lot of rare meat and noodles. the young woman at the front was very sweet and quick. I will be returning here. thank you :)

I have known about this place for years. Always drive by it all the time. Was craving some noodles or phở. Thought I swing by and have some. This place is

Normally I try to avoid any Asian food that’s not made by the specific race that inhabits the original geography from where it came. The only exception i might make is when it comes to beef based broths/​soups where I think our Korean cousins excel. So don’t be put off by the Korean writing on the IPho sign as I think this was proven by my delicious Phở at IPho.(also didn’t hurt that I heard Vietnamese being spoken in the kitchen.
We came a little after the lunch rush so it was easy for Claude and I to find a table. It’s possible that we were the only non-​koreans in the restaurant, which in this case I think is a good thing – why? Because those peeps have high expectations when it comes to the broth and freshness of meat, and when our order of phở arrived shortly thereafter, theory 2 was proven quickly. From the first sip of the soup, you just knew that the broth had been boiling and strained for at least 24 hours. No oily at all, but clean, smooth and savory. The beef flavor wasn’t overpowering, but perfectly balanced with all the spices and herbs used to create the phở. Another huge test for me is how fresh the tripe is: I always order tripe in my soup. Sadly, it’s not easy to find tripe that’s fresh and has no gamey smell that is boiled perfectly so it still is a little crunchy and chewy, but at IPho, it’s just that – AWESOME.
I will certainly be back for more in the near future! Love the name too btw. :)

So far one of the best phở places I’ve gone to. Since it was a cold tonight, myself along w my dad and sisters decide that what we needed was a nice warm soup. So we Unilocaled some places near by my house and we decided to give this place a try. The waiter was nice and welcoming which is always a plus. We ordered a veggie tofu phở and a chicken phở, both of which where good. We got both large and it was enough for four people to share and still have extra to take home. The chicken was more on the dry side but the phở overall I enjoyed eating it. The roll sampler was good and I loved their thick and creamy sauce that comes with the app. Their tea was just ok I like mine to be a little more stronger. Over all I would defiantly come back again :)

I came back after a long hiatus, and now I’m a fan! I came with my parents who are a bit picky with their phở, and we had a delicious time. Keep in mind that this is a Korean-​owned phở restaurant so they always provide sliced onions, my fav. The small ($ 6.20) is was the perfect size for me, although those around me thought that portions were quite small. The large ($ 7.20) is a regular phở size.
Service was very attentive and fast, which I think is surprising for a phở restaurant! I also love that they carry XO chili sauce! Such a nice surprise. :)
A minimum of $ 10 for credit card purchases!
Happy hour Monday through Friday, 2 – 5 pm. Small is $ 4.99 and large is $ 5.99.
This is in the same plaza as Little Caesar’s and the Korean AR Mart.

Got here at 9:45pm. They kicked us out at 10:16. Literally. «Sorry to do this but we’re closed». I mentioned their sign outside has closing time @ 11pm & so does Unilocal.Then he proceeds to say, they’re closing early bc they ran out of broth! Sounds sketchy to me juussst sayin’
Their phở was ok. Nothing special.
Didn’t like they’re bbq rolls.
Service was average.
Wasn’t a fan of their thai tea
If you’re looking to have very affordable and quick experience, I guess this is the place.

This is a solid mom and pop phở place. Prices are affordable and food is tasty.
They have a happy hour special on weekdays from 2 to 5 pm. Phở is $ 4.99 at that time!
My wife and I were trying to share our phở and the lady owner asked us if we wanted some more phở broth. That was very nice of her to ask! They give plenty of meat in their broth as well.
When we are in the mood, we’ll definitely be back!

Although it’s Korean owned, there are Vietnamese workers there to cook and take orders, which helps make it a little more «authentic». However I docked a star because the Korean owners can barely speak English which is hard for me when I want to make an order in person or on the phone. They answer me back in Korean as if I’ll understand… And another star because it seems as if they’ve changed their chef? Their broth seems super watered down and lacking flavor these days.
On the bright side, their bowls are decent sized and average priced $ 6.75 ish. (After tax). It’s my go to spot for a quick bite of phở. :) I love their Satay chili here too. It’s my favorite!
Would recommend this spot to friends if they need a quick bite of phở.

Sadly I have come to a conclusion… no more ipho for me. I tried to overlook the bad service, hair in food, or how bland the soup got… but I js can’t anymore.
I loved ipho and how they accommodated my special spring roll requests… but the last 3 times I’ve been here. I have been quite disgusted, confused, or angry.
The soup has changed… the broth is so bland I don’t even know if the Chile mix would help. Idk how much siracha or lime could even fix this problem. Plus. last time I tried to put Chile oil… I found hair (S) in it.
Not one. or two. but like FIVE on one spoonful. Short prickly hair!!! I told the waiter and he was trying to convince me it was some ingredient that goes in there. um hello. I always come here. Please stop with the bullshit.
The last visit was the worst. I travel a lot for work and when I come home. I always always crave phở. I came in. so hungry and ecstatic to devour my favorite phở place with my special order spring rolls…
I started explaining how I would like the shrimp and pork together inside the roll (how I always order it every single time) and she says «no. We cannot do» so I tell her that I always come here and they make this order for me and also charge me extra. She proceeds to keep telling me no and that she doesn’t know how to input it in the system. and that the cooks needs to see exactly on the printed receipt how to make it, but that she doesn’t know cause there is no button for it on the POS system.
I tell her to ask someone and she says «who?! The owners not here. Who should I ask?» I ask her if she can just charge me a side of pork or shrimp and just to make it happen. she flat out says «no! I cannot do! Idk how to do!» So I gave up. Ordered phở. Moved on with my life.
I understand that I am not going to get A+ service at a small hole in the wall phở place. Nor is their water clean… or they might be hair in the food. But the way she made me feel just put an end to my love for ipho. I really hate eating irritated and feeling as if nothing tastes good because I’m in such a bad mood. I am no longer a fan of ipho and will not ever return to their establishment.

Went last night was craving some phở …
Was wonderfully surprise how good the broth was great flavor .
The lady that server us was very polite understanding they close at 10 pm I just made it in at 9:30 .
The Soup came out the way I like my women pipping hot !!
Me and wife agree we have a new phở spot !!!

Service is quick, and USUALLY good. Two months ago I was yelled at when asking for extra limes for my phở. She yelled «THIS IS ENOUGH LIMES» it was kind of embarrassing. I mean… me and two other people came to pick up and order that was over $ 50 and I get yelled at for asking for a condiment!!! Some other woman immediately came and reprimanded her and gave us the limes, I believe she was the owner. I find it ridiculous to shout to the whole restaurant over something that cost pennies and is supposed to be a complimentary item… it’s not like I ordered one thing and asked for a boat load of free condiments.
I decided to give the restaurant one more chance, and the nicer lady (owner?) was there this time… I was relieved because this place is so close to home and good enough not to drive elsewhere for phở.
FOOD:
Phở broth isn’t too sweet like some others, the meat seems fresher than some other places I’ve tried. They give enough onion and green onion, which I like. They have the chili in oil which is better than the sriracha stuff… to me anyway.
Their bean sprouts seem cleaner than the average phở place but sometimes taste like dirt.
Egg rolls and spring rolls are delicious. The pan fried noodle dish is excellent.
I have yet to have something here that is gross or made me sick, and I like their phở a lot.

I’m sad to say that my experience here was ruined when our friends found hair in their food. Two different meals and two pieces of hair in two different meals. We didn’t fuss about it but simply notified the person in the front (owner?) about it so it won’t happen to others.
I did get a small bowl of phở with the rare steak only. It was a good portion. The broth was light and it wasn’t overpowering meaning I didn’t feel like I was drinking a bowl of msg.
The egg rolls were really whatever, and I wouldn’t recommend any other dish than the phở.

Ahhh Maaann this place is so delish, especially if your looking for some pretty good Phở without driving to GG. Their broth is great and prices are perfect. Order anything with the BBQ pork in it and you won’t be disappointed, SERIOUSLY.
The location itself is pretty small and in the not so great part of town but nothing too horrible or shady. Service is typical of most Phở places, so I can’t really praise them or complain.
iPho is on my top 10 Phở list, for sure!

I know it’s crazy but this was my first time trying phở and my bestie brought me here because she said it’s the best. It’s a small place located in a little shopping area on Brookhurst.
When we came in we sat down and then we’re handed menus. The guy who brought us the menus was on something because he wouldn’t talk, he was sick, and was just staring at us. We made sure he did not touch or food or bring us anything. We got the lady working there attention every time.
I got the beef phở and we split the combo appetizer. The beef phở came but didn’t come with the lemon, mint, or sprouts. We asked and she brought it to us. The flavor in the beef was so good. I loved it. The phở was very flavorful as well. The noodles were soft and it all mixed together very well. I added some of their hot sauce and it had my nose running. I definitely enjoyed it and will come back. The combo appetizer had 2 beef rolls, 2 shrimp rolls, and 2 egg rolls. They were all so yummy, especially the egg roll. The egg roll was little but very tastey.
I’ll be back soon!

Phở restaurant owned by Koreans but they have a Vietnamese waiter. =)
Seafood Phở: 4 stars
Came with thin rice noodles, broth was tasty & hot. Good portion of seafood. Perfect for a chilly night after a long day of hiking. =)
They didnt give much side veggies like the more real authentic Viet Phở places in Little Saigon & I requested the bean sprouts to be boiled which the waiter did not do for me. –2
Chicken Phở: 2 stars
My friend ordered this bowl & it was completely lacking in flavor & the chicken was very dry & tasteless.
Overall, just an A-​ok Phở restaurant which I would not mind coming back again if I were to be in this neck of the woods but this place has nothing compared to the real Viet Phở places in Little Saigon.
They need to hire more waiters to handle the weekend crowd, 1 waiter for all tables & also being cashier at the same time is a bit too much to handle for this place.

This has got be my favorite phở spot! It’s the first place I ever tried phở and loved it. Ever since I tried other places and they just don’t cut it for me.
Prices are great! Service is great! Food is great! It’s just GREAT! Egg rolls, phở and Thai tea for me are all yummy.
It’s a little whole in the wall spot behind little Caesars. Place is not too big and you seat yourself. Food comes out pretty fast once ordered so you don’t need to wait long. The staff is nice and attentive.
