Pho Ever Alhambra

This family-run pho shop with locations in Little Tokyo, Gardena and Alhambra offers a deceptively simple menu that packs flavor into excellent versions of Vietnam’s greatest culinary hits. You’ll find matriarch Lani Nguyen steaming up made-to-order artisanal mooncakes and a few more creative dishes at the newest location in Alhambra, plus impeccably made broth simmered for 16 hours, as well as a bountiful cold-cut banh mi served with a side of the same delicious pho for dipping. Pho Ever’s approachable take on bun bo hue, tasty combination plates and cafe sua da (condensed milk coffee) are also worth an order—if you can tear yourself away from their delicious, flavorful bowls of pho.
