| - Whether the weather is cold or hot, nothing can bring me to bliss than having hot hot tea and hot hot soup. This place just fills that void of my favorite things...hot tea & hot soup.
It may be a small, un-fancy restaurant but I can't stop not going to this place! This restaurant is always full of diners. It is well-lit at night and with windows to bring in day light. I always get a seating to a good table, although there may be a few seconds or minutes to wait. But immediately upon sitting and browsing at the Vietnamese menu, complete with Vietnamese language and figures, I would request hot tea first. Hot Hot Vietnamese tea (yes, it is very hot in a tall glass, so be careful..sip it first, don't drink from the glass fast) is served prior to my meals which I enjoy sipping with squeeze of juice from lemon...my senses goes in relax mode! A cordial smiling food staff would take my order in just the way I like it. I always order #35 which is "Hu Tieu Hau Vi" (Seafood with Rice or Clear Glass Noodle Soup with or without Soup) with a little addition that I like: chicken, clear glass noodles and with soup (see my photo). I always experience good, timely service. The soup is served hot!!, in a huge bowl complete with a heaping platter of green vegetables, lemon, bean sprouts, basil, mint & green peppers...i like that!, which I place on the soup as soon as it is served. I leave it there for a few minutes to "heat up". In no time at all, this soup is "devoured"... I can get a little "greedy"-looking as I dig into the soup and have the greatest enjoyment of it. In between my meal, I usually get refills of the tea...wow, because I like their hot tea! The order of Tea is included in the meal that is ordered at no charge. It is so ample to know that at a reasonable price of $7.50 + tax it is a just rightfully sweet $10 altogether, whataaah meal!
Other favorites of mine I like to order from time to time are:
#1 "Cha Gio" (Authentic Vietnamese Egg Rolls) which is wrapped in fresh rice wrapper = $5.25..I love biting into each with a brown dipping sauce,
#10 "Pho Dac Biet Xe Wa" (Special combination of well-done brisket, rare slices of steak, tripe & flank tendon with rice noodle soup) = $6.95...the portions of meat are cut large,
#21 "Pho Rau Thap Cam" (is Vegetables combination with Rice Noodles Soup) =$5.95...ordered on days I want my vegetarian fix,
#65 "Com Bi Cha Suon Nuong" (Shredded Pork Skin, Egg Loaf, Charboiled Pork Chop with Steamed Rice) = $6.95...one of my favorite rice entree,
#87 "Bi Nuong La Lot" (Beef wrapped in Hawaiian Lot Leaf) =$9.50..quite delicious,
#90 "Banh Xeo" (Pan-Fried Cake with Pork & Shrimp) = $7.95...awesome taste,
#8 "Ca Phe Phin Sua (Nong Hay Da)" is a french style hot or cold filtered coffee with condensed milk...this, i like sooo much, the blend of sweetness and bitterness is mouthwatering =$2.95,.
They also serve beer but "33" is the Vietnamese Beer you ought to try =$2.95.
The smell of barbecue in the air will fill your nostrils from other diners' choice of Special Dish called "Dac Biet". If you order this,it is to be cooked by you on the table, on a Griddle. This is is an array of meats or seafood on a platter as your choice from the menu listed as #80-#81 with a price ranging from$18.95 - $25.95. Especially a great choice for 2 or more dining companions.
This is my go-to place eventhough early morning hours, especially it is open Seven Days A Week from 9:00 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Restaurant can also be found in Van Nuys, CA and Reseda, CA.

I don't speak Vietnamese nor am I Vietnamese. My father (who's not Vietnamese either) lived and worked in Saigon & Danang,Vietnam because of his American employment there as a Civil Engineer when I was a child. I must have acquired the love for Vietnamese soup.
But I learned from a food staff that "Pho So 1" translates to Beef Soup Number 1. To me, this restaurant is a #1.
