Hai Phong Noodles

I discovered this restaurant while on a business trip, and I was pleasantly surprised. Their chicken is incredibly moist for white meat, and since I only eat white meat, that was a big plus for me. The food is straightforward, quick, and absolutely delicious. I would give it a rating of 5 out of 5!

This place has the best chicken pho in El Monte! We ordered two plain pho and a half chicken on the side for $38. It's definitely better to order this way because you get more chicken at a reasonable price.

Dining here is the ultimate way to enjoy their chicken noodles. Focus on the food rather than the decor or a typical restaurant experience. I give it 5 stars for the pho and banh cuon—everything is prepared by the owner and is truly authentic. I rate the decor and service at 3 stars. The staff is friendly and attentive, but don’t expect the level of service you might find at places like BJ's or Yard House.

Delicious! This charming mom-and-pop shop specializes in clean chicken pho. You could drink the entire bowl of soup and not feel terrible or thirsty afterward, as they don’t use MSG. You can order the chicken as either cut pieces or shredded, with no bones. Please note that they only accept cash. Prices are $5.99 for a generous small bowl and $6.99 for a large. They also offer three simple sauces on the side: ginger, chili spice, and chili soy sauce. The noodles are white and thicker compared to other pho places, reminiscent of Chinese-style pho.

My favorite spot for chicken pho. It's a cozy little hole-in-the-wall, but the food is excellent. The chicken is amazing, and the green papaya salad is delicious too.
