What People Are Saying About Pho Cafe

In Short
Rice noodles, wet and dry, are the staple of this affordable, trendy spot with its ultra-bright, ultra-orange retro look and young clientele. Classic pho soup is traditionally served with beef, or in a lighter chicken broth, garnished with bean sprouts, basil and hot peppers. The menu also includes fried egg rolls and steamed, noodle-packed spring rolls, fresh ginger tea and numerous vegetarian options. When the room is full, it can get very noisy.

The place doesn't have a sign outside, which really bothers me but the place inside is pretty cool and modern. The rare steak in the pho is very tender and good, although I didn't like the hint of cinnamon taste in the soup. I've had way better and cheaper Pho's but for LA this is the best one so far. Just one tip, don't ever go to a Pho place in West Hollywood called Absolutely Phobulous, total waist of money, horrible service, pricy and the Pho was HORRIBLE that I had only a couple bites and could no longer eat it but def try the Pho Cafe in Silverlake.

Yes it's trendy...okay, it's good, but it just doesn't have that authentic Vietnamese feel to it. It caters to the locals of SilverLake. And I guess, at least you know its clean there compared to those old rotting hole in the wall places in the San Gabriel Valley! Good luck with parking. It's open very late - I like that!

There is no sign out front so it is hard to find but once you do you will not be disappointed. The place is always packed with a line out the door but it moves quickly. The Pho is the delicious! A MUST try!

Know Before You Go:
Credit cards aren't accepted, but $15 cash should be sufficient to cover food and a drink.
What to Drink:
There's no hard liquor--only beer and sake.
Parking:
The lot can get a little frantic, so savvy diners look for street parking along Sunset.
Look Good:
Don't be confused by the lack of a sign. Just look for the long room illuminated with a line of globe lamps.
