Pho Fever Bistro

been coming here for a hot minute the food absolutely slaps. Spring rolls are fresh, banh mi has a great kick, and the pho broth hits just the right spot when ur slightly under the weather

I thought I had more pics but alas just this one. Stopped in while waiting for a car repair and was not disappointed. Amazing flavor and ample servings (I could not finish) were offered by this little gem. The restaurant was aesthetically unexceptional but very clean and quite authentic. It was an unexpected stop and I’m glad we made it. Definitely check this place out.

Hidden at a corner along Sawtelle and Barrington in West Los Angeles is this restaurant that is a must for Pho and other delicious Vietnamese foods. We started with the Pork Sausage Spring Roll, which was so filling and had variations of their Pho noodle soup that was just envigorating. It was a very satisfying food experience!

Delicious pho! My dad had the brisket pho and i had the vegan pho. Run by very nice people, really good prices!!

Just got back from Vietnam and had the best Pho of my life from some little shop tucked in an alley. All I could eat and all made fresh in front of me. This place reminded me of that spot but a bigger, cleaner version with great Pho. If you want soup with noodles go get after it here.

Have been here numerous times and always get the combo pho. I’ve had the banh mi’s and calamari which are also delicious. Every ingredient is fresh. The lime wedges had just, the bean sprouts were crisp, the basil leaves were aromatic. This is the best pho on the westside!

My husband and I come every week. Pho broth is the best compared to other places. Portion is fine and service is awesome!

My favorite pho place for my son and I. Great service, delish spring rolls w fresh tangy peanut sauce, solid pho with fix-ins, fresh and delish veggies, awesome fried rice, tasty Vietnamese iced coffee and my son loves the limeade, all for a great price and friendly staff. Owners checking in, and always clean. Our new weekly place!!

Great service. Went on a Saturday around noon. Quick service. The bowl was a regular and still quite large. Plenty of meat and noodles. Broth was nice. The pork sausage spring rolls were surprisingly delicious.

Pho Fever Bistro is hands down the best pho spot in town! I’ve tried countless pho soups over the years, but this one stands out as truly top-notch. The flavors taste homemade, the vibe is warm and welcoming, and the service is consistently excellent. Every visit feels like a treat. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you, Pho Fever, for always delivering amazing food and great hospitality. Highly recommend!”

Great place for Pho! Portions are healthy sized, fast, and fresh! Would definitely come back

The best pho Ever! I highly recommend B1-5 items ! Wow it was so delicious! Amazing service and very clean ! The food was so awesome!

Got a Banh Mi M.5 on their menu TO GO. Their Banh Mi is Legit. No Culturally Appropriating WOKE Flavored Banh Mi. 😆 The baguette had the right texture and crisp without cutting the top of one's upper palate like most other mediocre places. Veggies were very Juicy as was the meat. Everything blended well as it should as with any popular Viet restaurant one might find in OC or The SGV. Chili ON POINT. Nice flavored kick🔥. It even came with a little thing of Tasty Sauce for the meat. I'm definitely coming back to sit down and enjoy their food. Very hospitable, friendly Cashier. Older Gentleman, Possibly The Owner.🙏 I don't normally eat in my car but, was on the road. Pic does this sandwich no favors. It's BOMB!!!

This place just blew my mind completely. Food is unbelievable, service is absolutely fantastic. And atmosphere it self so cozy, friendly and nice so I didn’t want to leave.

best pho in the area for sureeeee AND its a great portion for cheap!

This Vietnamese pork bún is simple, filling, and very satisfying. The grilled pork is the highlight—big, well-cooked pieces with a smoky, savory flavor. It’s generous and feels hearty rather than skimpy. The noodles are light and soak up the sauce nicely, while the fresh vegetables add crunch and keep the bowl from feeling too heavy. The spring roll is a nice extra, giving a crispy bite, and the sauce is delicious—savory with a touch of sweetness, bringing everything together when mixed. Overall, it’s a well-balanced bowl with good pork, fresh sides, and a great sauce, served in a generous portion.

Very good place. I have my go to place near Chinatown that I go to for Pho, however this is a very good place as an alternative for pricing, quantity and taste. I highly recommend this place for something closer to the westside. The drinks are good and are not overwhelmed with sugar. Great place to come on your own or with friends.

The soup was good and not too salty. The parking is a bit hard at this location.

If you’re looking for a chill place to eat some tasty pho, this is the spot. I had shrimp pho with chicken broth. The shrimp was not over cooked. I like the side sauces they give you to add more flavor to your liking.

I absolutely love this place. Reasonable price, good food! Beef pho is good, and the spring rolls are huge and delicious. I've already been here for more than five times.

This place is a hidden gem! We live in the area but never stopped here for food until now. We got two kinds of pho and a pork vermicelli noodle salad for three people. We also got the spring rolls, everything had so much flavor and was delicious. The prices are really good, the whole lunch was $54! The space is larger than it looks form outside and has a very relaxed feel with great smells. The service was quick and attentive, can’t wait to return.

One of my fav pho spots on the west side. Absolutely no frills, and less than $15 for bowl of pho in LA is hard to come by. Great quality and I love the spring and summer rolls as well. My go to spot when I need a comfort meal

I love the atmosphere so much! The entire place is well kept, the restroom is clean with no odor. My friend and I dined here and we both felt very very comfortable spending time here. Regarding the pho, I wouldn’t say they are the best, but I like how the price(~$10-13) is lower in comparison to the pho I eat in other places. The portion is pretty nice too.

A great quick and casual pho spot in Sawtelle that serves regular and vegan broth. I live very close by so the location is extremely convenient for me, but in general, this area is less crowded than other parts of town even though there is limited parking in the shopping center where it’s located. It’s fairly easy to find neighborhood parking or metered street parking if the lot is full. It’s quite small on the inside, but that adds to the charm of the place. Everything you order will come out lightning fast and they have all the traditional options on the menu. I started off with a strawberry iced tea with boba and would really recommend it. It’s not the bad flavored iced tea, it’s homebrew and actually very good. For my meal I chose option two the combo. The broth and flavors were really rich, tasty, and overall I really liked it, but I still am not a fan of tripe no matter how many times I try it. Next time I would order the filet mignon and would probably recommend that to everybody. Overall, a really tasty Vietnamese restaurant with fair pricing and lightning fast speed. I would recommend and will be back in the future.

I got the beef bun( noodle salad)! It was delicious and a huge potion as well! The beef was a perfect texture. Always my favorite thing to have on a hot summer day! This is my new favorite place for bun noodles.

Pho is absolutely delicious. 10/10. Thank you!

The food and service are excellent. First time I’ve eaten here and I’ve tried a ton of Pho restaurants in Los Angeles. Great staff and absolutely delicious food! Sorry for not posting photos. I ate so fast I forgot to take any! I’ll be back!

Good vibe, great food, fair prices. I've eaten in and taken on multiple occasions - always enjoy it. In addition to pho, the rice plates with fried egg and pork and sausages etc are very satisfying.

Ordered the XL combo Pho. They give lots of meat! Spring rolls are great too! Quick service at reasonable prices. Parking can be tough during busy times.

I ordered dried noodle with fish source. It was delicious and looks healthy. The only thing that we ordered a thai milk tea but they forgot to serve us until we ate all the food. We got a take out cup for the thai milk tea at the end of meal.

Good, rich pho, friendly staff. Delicious sandwich, but the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. With the door open, flies were flying around the room, and some landed on the cheesecake several times. There's also a sign on the wall that every menu item is a dollar more expensive. I think they could have simply changed the prices for that kind of money.

Fastest service ever. Reasonable prices. But Everything is sort of bland. Not enough salt being used. I think this place could be Chinese owned… You can tell in the way they cook their lemongrass pork, the nuoc Cham dipping sauce, and depth of pho broth. Everything is not quite flavorful enough. For a Vietnamese person like myself, I can tell the difference but it’s definitely passable.

The high reviews led me here from Marina del Rey where i live. Got the "rare & welldone steak Pho", and the spring roll sampler. The pho broth was not as tasty as i would prefer. Felt thin and did not have a lot of flavor. The spring rolls were very good, would recommend all of them, especially shrimp. Overall, if you are looking for tasty pho broth, Pho MDR is much tastier (and closer to home for me :) ) My creds: lived in NYC for 10 years and found the best pho spots in chinatown through trial & error.

Went during the soft opening and food was pretty good. My only con is that the soup doesn't have much of a strong taste, I don't know if they added MSG or not cause I had a headache afterwards since I'm a bit sensitive to that stuff (or I could just have been tired). Though, they could have made the soup stronger with more bone or lemongrass in there. I had the combo since it's the typical one I go for whenever I try out a new pho place. I liked it. The spring rolls were pretty good too. My husband's bahn mi was meh according to him (lack of lemongrass flavour). Overall pretty decent pho place :)

As a southeast asian, I can say this pho joint misses the mark. Unfortunately, the pho is a bit bland. I had asked for fish sauce and was handed this bottle of soy sauce sauce labelled “fish sauce.” Upon clarification, the waitress kept insisting it was fish sauce 🤦 …and the search continues for decent pho on the west side!

The food was great and very tasty. The service is ok. The reason I'm giving them a 3 star is that the restaurant does not check the vaccination cards. Even though the signs on the wall say they check the vaccination cards, no one checked ours or anyone else's cards! Someone was constantly coughing in there. I didn't feel safe.

The food is good. The atmosphere is good. The service is good BUT I have to give it a one Star for service. When you go to the website and try to order. You get a virus on your phone. It's a pain in the ? Don't visit the website at all. It seems like some kind of spy stuff of a scam. I rebooted my phone and tried a lot of things. I have to take it to get it fixed ... It cost me. I like the food but I will not go back due to the virus you get on your phone ... A new cold war in this time.

Typical atmosphere, friendly but not outstanding service. Fresh wontons and broth. However the broth severely needed salt. My husband got the seafood bowl and I got the wonton deluxes soup. We added a lil like, hoisin, Sriracha, and even chilli but the flavor just would not get stronger. All in all I wouldn't plan to return here.

portion so small and the chicken was so tough to eat, Thai tea was way too sweet.

The food was bad. The pho and bun bo hue were both very, very bland. The combo pho didn't even come with tripe like it's supposed to. The vermicelli dish was all noodles and not enough veggies or meat. This place is Chinese-owned, we could understand the kitchen talking in Chinese. The food was not authentic and off, not even objectively good. There's no actual Vietnamese or even Asian people dining here besides someone like me who might've gotten lost. The price is low but so is the quality. Just go somewhere else unless you really need to save some dollars and can eat bland Viet food.

I’m a pho lover, but this was honestly disappointing. The broth tasted like something straight from a box, thin, watery, and no real flavor.

We ordered a vegan pho and a beef pho (got it delivered). The beef pho was ok. No issues with that. But for the vegan pho They only sent us water (not broth) and the veggies. I called to get a refund and he said he couldn’t do that. 👎👎

I had a very unusual experience at this restaurant. The food itself was good, no issues with the cooking. The problem was the way the service was handled. I ordered an extra small portion of chicken, maybe around 50–100 grams. When it arrived, the owner asked for ten dollars just for that tiny amount. I declined, because the price simply didn’t match the portion. When paying the bill, a much more serious issue happened. I counted the amount in front of the owner: two five-dollar bills and additional singles. The moment he took the money, he returned it and said it was not enough. One of the five-dollar bills had suddenly become a one-dollar bill. I am absolutely sure of what I handed him, and the situation felt dishonest. When I tried to explain calmly, he began shouting at me. I noticed later that there is a one-dollar dine-in fee posted near the register. I didn’t see it at first. Most people come to a restaurant thinking about food, not scanning the walls for extra fees. If the fee is required, it should be clearly listed in the menu itself, where customers look before ordering, not hidden somewhere else. I am not writing this review to harm the business. I am writing it in the hope that the owner reflects on how he treats guests. Good food is not enough if the interaction at the register makes people feel disrespected or taken advantage of. Respect, transparency and honesty are what keep customers coming back. I hope this place makes those changes.
