Menu

PHO
Crawfish Cajun Pho
Yep, our World Famous Crawfish Pho. Invented in the top secret LA Crawfish test kitchen years ago and featured in countless media outlet publications worldwide since then! It’ll literally change your life, or so we’ve been told so many times over!

It’s a Cajun infused broth with a dozen or so hand-peeled Crawfish tailmeat and sliced double smoked Andouille sausage accompanied by the traditional Vietnamese Pho accoutrements.

 $14.99
Spicy Beef Pho
This fusion is greatly admired for its balance of spicy, sour, salty and sweet flavors and the predominant flavor of lemon grass. Served in a huge bowl with slow cooked slices of tender Beef Brisket and thin cut strips of Beef Tripe. This is one of the most ordered bowl of Pho at our shops!		 $14.99
Hot & Sour Pho
A Thai inspired Fusion Pho that can be best characterized by it’s distinct hot and sour flavours, with fragrant spices and herbs generously used in the broth. Jumbo shrimp is the protein typically served in the dish garnished with slivers of green and yellow onion, tomato wedges, chopped basil, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.		 $14.99
Sate Pho
A Chinese 30-ingredient spice blend makes this Fusion Pho an all-time fan favorite. Typically served with Beef Meatballs and thinly-sliced Eye of Round Beef, cooked medium rare by pouring piping hot broth right over the top. This one is definitely soup for the soul!		 $14.99
LA Special Pho
A 60+ year old family recipe perfected and passed through the generations of the Ngo family. The deeply flavored beef broth is steeped for close to a day just to ensure all that beefy flavor builds up in the broth itself. Beef bones, oxtails, cuts of beef, charred onion, charred ginger and spices work in harmony to create this “oh so” amazing soup.

Served with a portion of rice noodles, beef brisket, eye of round, flank, tripe, tendon, meatballs, and then garnished with thinly sliced white and green onion, plus cilantro. Then you simply add your pick of beansprouts, Thai basil, jalapenos, lime juice, Sriracha, Hoisin sauce, vinegar and fish sauce to it, and “Chúc ngon miệng”, or in other words, “Enjoy”!

This was an amazing find and a pleasant change of flavor here in the Valley. I saw it driving by and went in and order a basic basket of fried crawdads. They were very good and a real treat. However, while I waited for my “simple meal” I saw some amazing, large and magnificent dinners that were amazing. King crab legs, all kinds of stuff. There was a young couple there that were all dressed up and sharing very large plates for two and the girl definitely knew what she was ordering. Quality food and a nice change of pace in an environment that is uplifting and clean. Lastly, there was a gentleman that I believe was a chef that I could tell was very proud of the meals he was preparing. It was nice to see. I will be back soon …

Food was good. There was this dude standing around the register on Friday, June 8, 2023 at lunchtime. Apparently he totally had a stick up his butt and gave us stink eye for asking for asking the cashier questions about the menu. He was standing right up against her, poking her in the side in a desperate mating display while we tried to order. Music was played featuring curse words in the dining area. The food was good enough. They handed us the food and never appeared again. The place was deserted – we were the only people there.

The food was great, not bad on the flavor. We tried the mild blend an was good. The rice that they have was amazing, well for me. But it was pretty pricey tho.

So we come for the AWESOME GARLIC NOODLES. It was love at first taste but it’s different than the Edinburg location. It’s a little more watery less garlic but I was still satisfied. The rice I did not care for super bland. A little over cooked. SERVICE was great we were greeted instantly checked on too.

Dang was this place SOO good!! First time eating anything like this and I was not only satisfied with the food but by the prices as well!

It’s an interesting facsimile of food you might find in Louisiana or New Orleans specifically. The beignets are not beignets at all, just some messy failure. The po’ boy is a soggy mess. I didn’t expect much and those low expectations weren’t met.

Amazing food! But the service was even better!!! Our waiter took his time to show my kids how to peel and eat a crawfish! This place had it all wings (massive and delicious), noodles, pho, fried seafood, fresh crab,shrimp, crab legs and crawfish all by the pound!!!!!!! Ask for Daniel! He was the best!

I love crawfish with a passion this was absolutely the WORST crawfish I have ever eating in 37 years, and I have eaten crawfish all over the country… If I could give it 0 Stars I would.. The Crawfish did not taste fresh.. It tasted like they boiled it and regular water then threw them in a bag poured a whole bunch of garbage seasonings on it and shook it up and served it.. Ate about 5 pieces of crawfish the rest can go in the trash.. I will never come here again and I will discourage anyone else who wants to come for the Crawfish.. very disappointing I was wanting some good crawfish so bad I guess I got to cook it myself… If people are giving good reviews on their crawfish then trust me they have never ate crawfish from a real Crawfish boil so they have nothing to compare it to..
