Al Pho 1201 East Main Street, Santa Maria, CA 93454

"Al Pho is my all time favorite Vietnamese restaurant and I lived in Long Beach for 10 years near Little Saigon. And I'm half Vietnamese. The noodles are perfectly cooked, the broth is perfection, the dipping sauces are amazing. The serving sizes are generous and I always have seconds leftover when I get the oxtail pho. Also, where else can you get oxtail pho?? The prices are decent. They serve wine and beer, and if u call ahead the order is always ready. It is never a long wait for food, but the place is always busy. Order at the front then sit down and they bring it to you. Great service, great owners. My daughters are 11 and 10 and refuse to eat at the other Vietnamese restaurant if this one is closed (on Wednesdays). So do I. It's not the same. Love love love this place."

"Delicious vermicelli noodles-bun. Will be our go-to before PCPA performances!"

"If you are Vietnamese DO NOT come here. I was driving through Santa Maria looking for Vietnamese cuisine and stopped here. Immediately was greeted with hostility, the hostess was impatient and rude to my mother because she doesn’t speak the most clear English. He kept looking at his phone or away as if we didn’t matter. Absolutely disgusting customer service. On top of that the food is not good… Please get rid of that hostess and find someone with some compassion. I didn’t get his name but he was a white male with curly hair if that helps."

"Beautiful looking restaurant with bad food and overpriced and bad service Good luck We oder 4 soup and spring roll The soup was not hot and the noodles were undercooked. And One of soup came out too little soup, I asked for no soup with thismore and they bring soup and threw a $7.07 bill."

"delicious spring rolls. soup was uninspired on all levels. I wouldn't have eaten any of the ingredients on their own. broth was more like warm water. I added the sauce from the spring rolls to get any flavor at all. too many noodles, no where near enough protein. it was just boiled shredded chicken. nothing special, and not enough. bland and uninspired is the best thing I can say about the soup. wouldn't return if it was offered to me free. very friendly staff that clearly doesn't know what good soup is. 2 soup, 2 beers, 1 order spring rolls, approx $60 drastically overpriced for the quality."
