I'd rate this place a 3.8/5. Plenty of tables and seating. It is a comfortable, casual setting. I ordered pho and their broth is clean and flavorful, not too fatty. Service was quick. There was a generous amount of meat and noodles. However, my noodles were undercooked and kind of hard. One thing about undercooked pho noodles is that it has slightly plastic taste to it so the taste threw me off. Also the noodles need to be rinsed in cold water right after they're boiled in water to prevent the soup from getting starchy. They did not do that either so my broth was starting to get starchy and lose its original flavor. Hopefully next time I come, they'll be cooked properly.

I've been coming here for years although not really much post-Covid. I ordered Spring Rolls w/Beef and Peanut Sauce AND Beef Bahn Mi. Both were great and some of the best in LA. The meat was very flavorsome and all the main pickled vegetables viet style shone through. The Bahn Mi bread was perfectly cooked - toasty yet soft. I asked for no pate but there was a great buttery flavor present. Definitely thankful to have a great viet spot nearby my house.
I've been on the hunt for the best pho place in my area and discovered New Pho 999! If you are looking for a very authentic Vietnamese meal, this place is it. Ambiance-wise, this place is your casual, no-frills, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Despite that, the food tastes amazing. The broth is definitely one of the better ones in my area. 8/10 Food: I ordered the House Special Pho Bowl. Nice beefy-flavored broth with lots of meat toppings. My partner ordered a Pork Rib Rice Plate and also thoroughly enjoyed his meal. This is the perfect spot for comfort food. Parking - There is plaza parking within the lots but can get quite busy. However lots of free street parking close by.
review for your experience at New Pho 999: Absolutely incredible! I had the Pho Tai, and it was hands-down one of the best bowls of pho I've ever had. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, while the rare beef was tender and cooked to perfection in the steaming broth. The fresh herbs and garnishes added a wonderful aroma and vibrant taste. The service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance was cozy and welcoming. If you're craving authentic pho, New Pho 999 is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more! Feel free to tweak it as needed!
Came here for lunch , I was craving Pho and spring rolls! The place is very welcoming, employees are really nice ! I ordered ahead of time and my food was ready when I arrived, soup was nice and HOT! Over all I give this place a 10/10 flavor was there and the spring rolls were perfect! Exactly what I needed!
I just moved to the north Hollywood area and was so afraid I wouldn't be able to find authentic Vietnamese food, but after giving it some time and driving around, I found Pho 999 and always thought that it would be good based off the angel numbers in the name alone. I was right!! If a place has bo 7 mon (beef 7 ways), then you know it's legit. Although they probably specialize in pho, their menu is so abundant! You can get com tam (rice plates), hu tieu or bun (other soup and dry noodles) and more. I got the com ga roti (tomato rice with fried Cornish hen) because I had been craving this and it's very hard to find these days, but I was a bit disappointed because it usually comes with a sweet, garlicky soy sauce, but they didn't have that here. I made my own using the pickled jalapeños and soy sauce on the table and it was fine, but I wouldn't order this again. It was just slightly bland compared to what I was expecting. I wish the rice was more tomato-y as well. My friend order the pho with a side of broth and beef and it looked amazing! We got spring rolls and it was even better with a slice of pickled jalapeño after dipping it into the peanut sauce with every bite. Overall, great environment for authentic Vietnamese food and I'm glad I found it. I can't wait to go back! You're going to spend $15-$25 for a full entree and shared appetizer!
Craving pho but not wanting to drive down to my usual (and only) spot, I stopped in here on a Friday night. I ordered the rare beef and well done brisket pho to go, which was ready in just about two! I live a block away and so everything stayed nice and warm. The broth is packaged separately from the onions, cilantro, noodles, and meat. And in a separate bag was basil, jalapeno, lemon, sprouts, and sauce packets. Overall, the broth has good flavor (but a little heavy on the cilantro for me) and the meat was decent. My noodles were all stuck together and were difficult to separate. A lot of them ended up being balls of stuck together noodles, unfortunately. While it satisfied the craving at a good price (14 dollars), it wasn't the best experience. Wasn't awful by any means, but next time, I would rather just deal with the annoying trek and parking situation for Pho NOHO, probably.
Actually pretty good! This could be our new Vietnamese spot! For a while due to Covid this place was take out only so I came by prepared to make a to go order. They have dine in! The menu inside is the same as the online menu (posted on their website) but we aware everything is about $2 more (also posted). A few tables were occupied on a Monday evening; the decor could use a little updating. However the food is good and quick! I put in a take out order and the food was packed for me about five minutes later. We ordered the special pho #1, the shrimp and pork bun #55, and fried egg rolls #88. All were neatly packed and still warm and tasty when I got home 15 mins later. The egg rolls come with lettuce, mint leaves, pickled veggies and a fish sauce to dip in. They were well packed and quite plump! The pho had a tasty broth. The noodles were a little short though. The bun had good charred pork and shrimp and the veggies and noodles were fresh. Parking is available in the lot, but the area can get busy!
