Glendale Phở Co.

A coworker of mine recommended this place and worth it. Tucked in a busy corner of Glendale, this marvelous place is best place for Pho. I ordered the chicken pho with vegetables which I highly recommend is the best ever. The broth is flavorful even without the side condiments.However, do try the chicken wings with sweet and sour sauce! Please note if you have a gluten allergies, the staff is very accommodating with your dietary needs.

I like their pho but not so much with Thai tea or Vietnamese coffee. Thai tea hd weak flavor or different tea type than I usually drink. And coffee was packet. I could taste corn syrup solids, too instant, they don’t brew their coffee. Pho noodles were premade and put in the bowl got ready and then when they get order, the broth is poured into. Noodles were stuck together and bit cold, so you have to stir it up with your chopsticks. The chopsticks are Chinese style. Long and think and rounded square. Not ideal for good grip to get slippery noodles. I prefer wooden chopsticks or thinner. Spring rolls were premade I noticed. But it was good. I am celiac so I asked for the sweet and sour fish sauce along with peanut sauce (usually peanut sauce has Hoisin and that is not gluten-free). I got shrimp. The content was decent and my 1 year old liked to chew on it. Broth was good but not impressed. Good amount of meat in the combination pho. I like the chewiness of tripes. Condiment veggies, they gave extra onion and spring onions and cilantro. I like that. Service is great. They are kind and thoughtful with kids, they brought high chair, little scissors, small bowls and small utensils for little kids. (I have 1 yr, 5 yrs old kids) Parking on street was easy on Saturday lunch but it was after 2pm so it could be busier around noon. Street parking uses coins and app called ‘paybyphone’. Using app is easier to pay. (Who carries around coins these days, anyway?) Overall nice restaurant, good service and food comes out fast. I did not get sick from eating. (I am hyper symptomatic) I will be back with my family again!
