Pho America Vietnamese Cuisine 1826 Pacific Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90806

"Food is not bad. They just don't have shredded chicken for the pho. They Food comes out asap but after that I won't see the server for a long time"

"Been to this wonderful soup restaurant. Both times I got there house special phò. Absolutely delicious. Full of flavor and plenty of meats for a great price. Can't wait to go back for more"

"Went to have an early dinner with a friend and share an order of Pad Thai with Shrimp and an order of special combination fried rice. It was really not good. The quality of their food has gone down. It use to be so good but things have change at this location."

"I ordered a Taro Boba and when I got it the boba tasted like powdered milk with water it was very disgusting. They took no time to make it correctly and made sure it was correct. Another thing I ordered was Pad thai noodles and when I started to eat it there was these big chunks of mystery meat more than shrimp. Honestly there are way better places to go."

"This has to be the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. I mean that with every word. So I just moved to CA 6 months ago & today was the first time I got to actually search and pursue a good pho restaurant. I found some places close to me via google maps & pho American stood out to me! So i decided to get directions and make my way! I arrive here & the windows were dirty, floors were filthy, and as soon as I walk in I was told I could sit any where (via the open flat hand gesture). No greeting what so ever. I came with my 2.5 year old and 7 month old newborn. I asked for a high chair & the lady said there were none. No biggie we’ll take a booth and I’ll sit my baby’s car seat on a chair which I had to grab myself. I’m sitting there viewing the menu & I look over to my right and an older guy is sitting there chomping on some shrimp fried rice. We made eye contact and his exact words were “let me know when you’re ready to order” Like how nasty and unappealing. All I saw was fried rice and eggs when he opened his mouth!! Like oh my goodness were you gonna stop and come take my order while you were chewing food!? Yeah right. Fast forward, I order the vegetable pho, a sprite, side of noodles, and veggie egg rolls. Food comes out. Looks amazing. I just had to ask for the sweet and sour sauce for the egg rolls but other than than. I got to chowing down on my hot veggie pho & fresh veggie rolls. By the way while I was eating I had to continually fan away 2 annoying gnats!! Gave her my credit card as soon as she brought the ticket. Brought the receipt back so I could sign & I thought I was on my way. I look at the tray of condiments... soy sauce, hot sauce, spoons, chopsticks, peppers, etc.... To my disgusting surprise I see something squirming around in the bottle of soy sauce!! I almost puked!! I grabbed my phone and hit record. I thought I was tripping or something. So I tell the older lady to come on over & she grabs the bottle tries to act like she didn’t see anything. And I grab t and put it in the sunlight that was coming in behind me and it started swimming around like a tadpole. It was absolutely disgusting. She grabs the older man(aka the owner) and tells him. She insisted she was going to throw it away then he finally sees the bug inside. And with a smart attitude he looks at me and says do You need something? UH YEAH! You need to clean your restaurant for one, and two get rid of these bugs! Now I didn’t say anything like that I just notified him that it was very nasty and I told him I used that soy sauce (even though i didn’t) and he’s like okay. Do you want me to do? I’ll give you 50% off. First of all I already paid for my food!! Thanks though. Well that’s what I can do I can give u discount. I’m like what about a sorry?? Are you alright? I will make sure this won’t happen again. Nope. So he insisted that he put the $20 back on my card and then recharge it for a discounted price ($10) So he voided the first sale and reswiped my card for the even $10. Even now when I look at my credit card transactions it still has both payment posted of course. He had no remorse for it and was just rude! After I discovered the bug I got mean looks from the elder lady and the younger one. I am so disappointed with this visit. After all of that $30 of my money is tied up in pending charges and now I still have to deal with them until I get it resolved. DO NOT EAT HERE. IF I SAW ALL OF THIS IN THE FRONT IMAGINE WHAT THE KITCHEN LOOKS LIKE. I don’t even wanna know. By the way I never do review and I’m sure you can tell but I just had to let the town know. This was supposed to be the best PHO in Long Beach. I THINK NOT!!"
