From the food, the Vietnamese coffee and the service this place is perfect!

The pork, shrimp 🍤, egg rolls with rice meal was delicious. I enjoyed it. The milk with no boba was sweet 🧋. I appreciate the service here 🙏.

food was pretty good. Service could of been a little better. Prices not too crazy.

Been to this wonderful soup restaurant. Both times I got there house special phò. Absolutely delicious. Full of flavor and plenty of meats for a great price. Can't wait to go back for more

Always a great dining experience. Consistenly great food and great service. My family has been visiting Pho America since first moving to Long Beach 8 years ago and recommend it to all.

Its a very old restaurant, but my child loves their Pho, staff super friendly. Price compares to others.

My parents and I love the pho here. Great tasting broth and fresh ingredients. When dining in, however, the service can be somewhat lacking. It often feels like you're inconveniencing them with your presence. A bit uncomfortable. This time around, since I'm sick, I called in my order to pick up and eat at home. My usual is the rare steak and meatball pho. I requested a large size today. I went to pick up and paid. I included a $2 tip (15%), which I feel is fair for a to-go order. I asked for an extra packet of hoisin sauce because they only included one in the bag of toppings. So they give one packet for small and also only one for a large pho, and they want to charge you extra if you ask for more. I explained to the girl that they have bottles on their tables and that usually more than one packet's worth of sauce is used. I feel they should automatically include 2 packets for a small and 3 for a large. I understand charging extra if you want extra of everything. She did give me a little cup of extra sauce (thank you), but I do find that the practice of charging extra per condiment is a bit... stingy? I don't blame her; she was kind to oblige even though she looked a bit annoyed. But for the business owners (this goes for the other restaurants as well) at least be realistic as to the amount that normally goes into a bowl of pho and at least try to match that with the hoisin packet or cups to supply per order. Just a thought.

Got the veggie and tofu pho, small. It wasn’t anything special unfortunately. All the veggies did not taste fresh and it had very little tofu that also tasted old. It wasn’t awful but I likely won’t come back.

Me and my wife just visited this restaurant after months of passing by and wondering if it were any good. My wife ordered the pho with well done steak and flank. She enjoyed it, it was well served and very well served. I ordered the clay pot chicken and shrimp. It was very good, maybe a sorta small serving but really good flavor. We also order a side of egg rolls which were very good. Now. The service was it's downfall. From the moment we went in to the time we got our order taken was that of about 15-20 minutes, not until we called on someone letting them know we were ready to order. The food did come out pretty fast. Maybe 5 minutes or so. Now, again, the service. No one passed by to check on how we were doing the whole time we were eating, to see if we needed anything else. When it was time to pay, while we were eating with no indication that we were done or near finishing the waitress came and delivered our check. Almost $60 for our meal. When I got up to pay and pressed the no tip option, I could see the face of annoyance in the waitress face. Although the food might of been good. I doubt we'll be returning.

We went in today and ordered some food and all i have to say is please check YOUR FOOD before you eat , our pho and egg noodles had flies and one of the sauces too had flies. I hardly touched my pho but my family had already eaten most even our little kiddos! The waitress was rude when we brought it to her attention, even worse she was mad when we didn’t tip instead of taking accountability.

I ordered a Taro Boba and when I got it the boba tasted like powdered milk with water it was very disgusting. They took no time to make it correctly and made sure it was correct. Another thing I ordered was Pad thai noodles and when I started to eat it there was these big chunks of mystery meat more than shrimp. Honestly there are way better places to go.

First and last time. I ordered from DoorDash and Pho America offered a special of 2 shrimp fried rice for the price of one. Also 2 for one Pho, and they didn't come through. They only sent one of each. They sent one pack of hoisin sauce for a bowl of Pho. One lime slice and it was dry, no juice came out of it. I just moved to Long Beach and this was my first order via delivery. I ordered Pho frequently when I lived in the IE, and never once had to request utensils. This order came without chopsticks, with out a spoon and fork. I was calling during business hours and they don't answer.

Went to have an early dinner with a friend and share an order of Pad Thai with Shrimp and an order of special combination fried rice. It was really not good. The quality of their food has gone down. It use to be so good but things have change at this location.

This place served me rotten food. Please don't go there if you have to work within the next week. It dangerous. How is a jalapeno slimy(see picture)? And everything was limp. The meat looks sus. Through it away. Plus when tried to inform management they hung up and stopped answering the phone. I never complain but this is a safety issue.

This has to be the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. I mean that with every word. So I just moved to CA 6 months ago & today was the first time I got to actually search and pursue a good pho restaurant. I found some places close to me via google maps & pho American stood out to me! So i decided to get directions and make my way! I arrive here & the windows were dirty, floors were filthy, and as soon as I walk in I was told I could sit any where (via the open flat hand gesture). No greeting what so ever. I came with my 2.5 year old and 7 month old newborn. I asked for a high chair & the lady said there were none. No biggie we’ll take a booth and I’ll sit my baby’s car seat on a chair which I had to grab myself. I’m sitting there viewing the menu & I look over to my right and an older guy is sitting there chomping on some shrimp fried rice. We made eye contact and his exact words were “let me know when you’re ready to order” Like how nasty and unappealing. All I saw was fried rice and eggs when he opened his mouth!! Like oh my goodness were you gonna stop and come take my order while you were chewing food!? Yeah right. Fast forward, I order the vegetable pho, a sprite, side of noodles, and veggie egg rolls. Food comes out. Looks amazing. I just had to ask for the sweet and sour sauce for the egg rolls but other than than. I got to chowing down on my hot veggie pho & fresh veggie rolls. By the way while I was eating I had to continually fan away 2 annoying gnats!! Gave her my credit card as soon as she brought the ticket. Brought the receipt back so I could sign & I thought I was on my way. I look at the tray of condiments... soy sauce, hot sauce, spoons, chopsticks, peppers, etc.... To my disgusting surprise I see something squirming around in the bottle of soy sauce!! I almost puked!! I grabbed my phone and hit record. I thought I was tripping or something. So I tell the older lady to come on over & she grabs the bottle tries to act like she didn’t see anything. And I grab t and put it in the sunlight that was coming in behind me and it started swimming around like a tadpole. It was absolutely disgusting. She grabs the older man(aka the owner) and tells him. She insisted she was going to throw it away then he finally sees the bug inside. And with a smart attitude he looks at me and says do You need something? UH YEAH! You need to clean your restaurant for one, and two get rid of these bugs! Now I didn’t say anything like that I just notified him that it was very nasty and I told him I used that soy sauce (even though i didn’t) and he’s like okay. Do you want me to do? I’ll give you 50% off. First of all I already paid for my food!! Thanks though. Well that’s what I can do I can give u discount. I’m like what about a sorry?? Are you alright? I will make sure this won’t happen again. Nope. So he insisted that he put the $20 back on my card and then recharge it for a discounted price ($10) So he voided the first sale and reswiped my card for the even $10. Even now when I look at my credit card transactions it still has both payment posted of course. He had no remorse for it and was just rude! After I discovered the bug I got mean looks from the elder lady and the younger one. I am so disappointed with this visit. After all of that $30 of my money is tied up in pending charges and now I still have to deal with them until I get it resolved. DO NOT EAT HERE. IF I SAW ALL OF THIS IN THE FRONT IMAGINE WHAT THE KITCHEN LOOKS LIKE. I don’t even wanna know. By the way I never do review and I’m sure you can tell but I just had to let the town know. This was supposed to be the best PHO in Long Beach. I THINK NOT!!

very rudely and behaves in a very arrogant manner. I don’t understand how someone with this attitude was hired. She presents herself very unprofessionally.

Came here when it was about to close. I got yelled by the staff at night bc I wasn't eating it fast enough. They said they were closed at 8:30 when they closed at 9. They still charged my card even after me not even finishing my meal. The service is messed up, idc if its a Sunday. If you want to leave at 8:30 put it on the website that it closes at that time.

I ORDERED A SOURSOAP DRINK WITH ICE AND NO BOBA THEY FILLED IT UP WITH NASTY BOBA AND THE FOOD TASTED DISGUSTING RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER WE TOLD THE PEOPLE WE WERRE SERVED FOOD WITH FLIES DIDNT EVEN ASK IF WE WANTED A DIFFERENT PLATE THE FOOD WAS CLEARLY FILLED WITH FLIES VERY OLD YELLOW PLATES AND SPOONS DONT COME NOT GOOD SERVICE AND THEY CAN CARELESSS IF YOU HAD AN ISSUE WITH YOUR ODER

I have frequented this establishment for years. However, they have repeatedly left out side items that I have paid for without compensating me. No one can remember who you are the next time you order. This time, the person who answered the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE and could not verify my order. So, I told her to cancel it. But she said that I had to cancel with GrubHub. Needless to say, it could not be CANCELLED! So, I gave the order to the delivery person. I will never order from them again!!
