Pho Daily

Drove by and saw a Grand Opening side, it’s now Dragon fly tea bar. So, sad no more Phở Daily, what happened, why did they close?

Shrimp & pork spring rolls: the dipping sauce is very thick, sweet and a bit too heavy. The pork was tender but seasoned just alright. Not bad as a whole. Not impressive.
Pork chop: very fatty and little meat. Sometimes you can find a really good pork chop like at «Phở 54 restaurant» in the little Saigon. This ain’t it. I don’t like this.

Stick to «phở» here!
Other items aren’t impressive.
The prices here are a little more expensive than in Little Saigon (Westminster), too. It’s hard to find a good Vietnamese restaurant in this area (Chinese food is better here).
But the broth of phở is good here.
Stick to the «phở»!

I didn’t find the appeal to this place. Phở Daily is a little phở eatery on Colima Road, near Good Time Restaurant, Dolphin Bay, etc. I came here two days ago because I was really craving «Nem Nuong» (The Vietnamese Sausage) Rolls. When I came here with my friend, we ordered a dish of Nem Nuong, a dish of shrimp rolls, and a large bowl of «House Special» Vietnamese noodles.
Throughout the entire time that I was here, I had a sense that this place wasn’t really clean. The bowls and plates that were given to us were still wet, as if they weren’t washed adequately and the staff had to rewash them. The bathroom, which is separate and at the back of the restaurant, was dark and had a very pungent odor.
As for the food, I thought the Nem Nuong rolls were bland. It didn’t particularly satisfy my craving for Vietnamese sausage rolls. The House Special noodles was satisfactory, and I’ve had better.

Frank (the owner) is the most friendly and welcoming guy I’ve met! Definitely turned this place around after a chain of bad ownership and failed restaurants haha.
The food is good and the décor is all handmade by the owner! Very cool.
Good quality phở. Remember to always get a Thai iced tea with it! ;)

The phở here is ok. I’ve had better phở, down in garden grove but phở daily is the best phở place in the rowland heights/​walnut area. Their prices are also reasonable. They also offer student discounts which is a plus.

First phở experience, I had the chicken phở with shrimp spring rolls. SO delicious.

I am so sad right now! Normally Daily Phở is great, but today we went there first thing and their egg rolls tasted off, stale and sour, their thai tea was also sour. Got food poisoning today, I’m so sad! What happened Daily Phở? Was today a fluke?! :(Regardless I’m scared to come back now.

I don’t really like giving low reviews but… I got their regular sized bowl of noodle soup and WOW, it was like the smallest bowl I’ve seen for $ 8.00. Taste wasn’t there, sort of bland, and extremely little meat. I hate little meat ;)

No complain about the phở except that sometimes the temperature isn’t so hot. By that I meant that it taste like it was frozen, and they microwave it but it wasn’t heated all the way through. I love my phở SUPER hot, so that was my only complain.
Customer service:
The owners are all nice, but the young viet waiter with the glasses need to be fired ASAP. He was really rude, he did not even make any eye contact with me nor my parents. Shit, he barely even say a word LOL and I heard him speak English pretty well, so don’t give me that ESL bull crap. I specifically told him I want my soup very hot, and he just ignored my order lol.
Then, the latino kitchen guy came to the rescue. He reheated my phở and was very attentive to my table. HE should be manager. He knows customer service. You go, dude. I am a regular too. One time I came in 2 – 3 times/​a week for the whole month. =_​=
I will still come but lil to no tip for that viet guy (if he’s serving me) lol

I really was expecting better based on all the reviews.
The phở is just meh…
I’ll stick to my favorite phở spot in Irvine from now on Phở ba co !
So ya not impressed.

I Must say this Phở place has to be honestly the best family oriented business I know. The main manger and founder is the most easy going very generous guy I know! Awesome family sit down place to go to, they have sports games going on, and fish tank for all the little kids to look at.
The Phở is extremely great but it gets better where can you get a great bowl of Phở now days in Rowland heights for 6 bucks! This is the place to go right here !!
Law enforcement is always awesomely greeted, CHP, LASD, and Rowland School Police is very welcomed there !
This has to be one of the best Phở Places I know in Rowland Heights and I won’t ever leave this place, I have tried many other places and nothing compares to Phở Daily.

First time i came was for take out, but this is my first time sitting in this little hidden gem. Which happens to be down the hill from where i live. I must at admit their phở is super delicious, the service was pretty fast. I do have one negative comment we did order some spring rolls and our waitress just happened to forget about them and instead brought the check over. Lol!

tip: has drive thru! (used to be an old taco bell). Look on the board for new items or specials.
$ 5.75 for small phở is a great deal. Great flavor from the phở broth. Not bland or watery. Portions are good for the price.
Value is on point.

Phở phở phở in a rainy day. Awesome tasting phở and spring rolls. Even though it was a rainy day this place was not that crowded which was really awesome because some of the other other phở places around my area was booked.
Price at this location was average, pretty much the same as other phở restaurants. Their sizes here are on the smaller side! My brother got the regular bowl and I got the large bowl. The regular bowl was downright tiny and the large bowl was the perfect size and is what I considered to be a regular bowl at other phở places.
Service here was okay not bad but nothing excellent either. The one thing I have to give a thumbs up to was their fast service. I feel like I was only sitting 2 minutes when they took my order and then 2 mins later here was my spring rolls and phở! Also just an fyi they have a drive through! First time I have ever seen a drive through phở place!

Great service, Great food. Owner is upright and a great person overall.
Phở is good but rice dishes is what makes this place the best. Order #33, you cant go wrong.
Note: Dropped my wallet in the parking lot a few months back, owner found it and got it back to me. Had a ton of cash and nothing missing. If the owner is as upstanding in this regard I am sure he takes care of his restaurant and the food he prepares with the same care.

It is an excellent restaurant that provides very decent customer service and a wide variety of Vietnamese food. The phở noodle soup is relatively delicious. They even add the fish balls that enrich the overall taste of the soup even more.
The sandwich is also quite sensational. The meat is barbecued and even dipped in sweet and sour sauce which is quite savory.
The overall price isn’t too bad either. This is the place to go to if anyone is looking for Vietnamese food in the area.

Food: excellent authentic, tasty, and most importantly clean tasting. No after msg taste. Food seasoning is good without being too salty and still being flavorful. The VN ice coffee was on point and
Atmosphere: blue collar but cool. They took over an old Taco Bell and added asian touches that made it more relaxing. More important, they keep it clean. There were a few other restaurant before this one but they didn’t last.
Service: efficient as expected of an asian run restaurant, but they’re attentive, and friendly. Water glasses are regularly refill without my asking. Servers drop by now and then to make sure we’ve everything we need.
Expense: excellent. Most were priced under $ 10. The few that priced more were well worth it because the amount of food were substantial. We had enough left over for another light meal. I was going to rate a four star, but considering the price, it tipped the balance.
Return: phoking yes. If you want phở, this is the place. If you think about phở, this is the place. This place deserves to stay in business and deserves your support, unlike the few that preceded it.

I was impressed on my last trip. This time I took both my parents there on a Saturday evening. Place was not too busy, and only the gentleman (I still think he’s the owner) was waiting on tables, but he had the place under control. We ordered the roll with shrimp and pork in it, VERY GOOD.
Everyone of us ordered the house special phở which has all different kind of meat in it, but we notice one type of meat was specially tender, the owner told us it was rare brisket. I think I might just get phở with that only next time. Don’t get me wrong, the other meats are also good, the house special we got has beef tendon, strip, ect. So if you want variety, house special is still the one to go.
Very good value for the price you pay.
Highly recommended as before.

Well… more like 3.5 stars.
Phở Daily makes a pretty decent bowl of phở. Rice vermicelli (bun) however, I wasn’t a big fan of; it came with some pretty nasty tasting shrimp and BBQ pork. However, my review is weighted towards the phở since that’s what most people will come here for and I have to say it was quite a pleasant surprise.
Usually, the best phở places have broth that tastes great without having to add any sauces to it. The broth here wasn’t quite up there but just a tiny bit of sauce intervention did the trick. It had good ratio of meat and noodles, something many places can’t get right. The quality of meat was great.
And they take credit cards! That bumps my 3.5 star rating to 4 stars!

Food: Order a large phở. Key ingredient in phở IMO is the broth. The broth was ok, not as flavorful as the others I have tried. Also, their large phở was not as big as I thought it would be. Phở-​ha I think is better when it comes to phở.
Service: I was pretty much the only one there but the waiter was attentive.
Price: Price is very reasonable, large phở was $ 6.50
Overall: I wouldn’t mind coming back to try their rice dishes. That maybe a deal breaker if I would come back afterwards.
