Located next to the restroom hallway in the hong kong plaza. This place is okay. Not bad. Just a regular phở restaurant. I ordered phở tai gan. It came in a regular sized bowl. Cutely shaped. The broth was ok… nothing special. The only thing that annoyed me about this restaurant is that the employees walk around you when you are eating and they stare at you eat. I understand if you are worried that your customers won’t like your food, but don’t stare at them while they are eating. That’s rude and uncomfortable… a little creepy too. Overall, average price and portion, but I probably won’t be back.

First of all, don’t mistake this one with other Phở restaurants opened in Rowland Heights with similar name. This one is located right inside of Hong Kong Plaza.
it was a fine day until I came to this restaurant. Before I go on, if you are reading this, I want to remind you please make sure next time you go into a new restaurant, think again. Restaurant reviews help! We ran out of ideas where to eat and saw its banner so we just walked in. According to the waitress, the restaurant has been opened for a week. The waitress was nice and polite. From the lady, we found out the owner of this business is also the owner of another shop inside of Hong Kong Plaza.
We went ahead and order two drinks ($ 1.35 extra with Entrée), extra large bowl of Phở noodles and one plate of their broken rice dish. According to the lady, that’s supposed to be their specialty.
The drinks came out. Oops, forgot to ask to put less ice on the drink. We started digging up all the ice cube and ¹⁄₃ of the drink left without the ice. The red beans in my drink tasted like I was chewing gum.
The bean sprout etc usually delivered on a separated plate came and the amount was just ridiculous. I can almost count how many bean sprout on the plate. That’s not a good sign I thought to myself.
The Phở noodle came and I couldn’t believe my eyes. The bowl was like the typical regular size from other Phở places I have been to and all I saw was just soup. I will stop here to complain about the amount of noodles and meat as I am sure you know where I am going. What about the taste? I think it was below average in Rowland Heights.
The broken rice plate came. I thought it was ok but nothing impressive. I ate something that looked like some rolls and I thought that was some new stuff I had never tried until I looked at again on the menu that was supposed to be the common egg rolls. If you are interested, just check out the pictures I am about to post.
Overall, that was very disappointing experience and for sure we will not come back again.
The owner came over and asked how the food was. For a second, I was pleased because I thought they wanted to improve and I truly believed they deserve the chance. So, we told him the Phở noodle soup was too small and before we finished, he cut us off saying «that was the extra large already.» with some attitude. Hello, of course I knew it was supposed to be extra large. After he said that with that voice and attitude, we knew it was just a waste of time.
We just left and got back in the car. Then we realized they didn’t give us the 20% discount as advertised on their sign. So I walked in and told him about it, the owner just said the discount was only for customers with membership. I walked right out and took a picture of the sign clearly not mentioning anything about that. (I will post that picture as well) I showed him the picture on my phone and he stared at it for a few seconds and responded: «so what do you want?» Wow, way to start a business this way. I didn’t say a word and just turned around and left.
If the business lasts more than 6 months, I would be surprised.
