Cafe Nho & South Bay Restaurant

I'm fighting off a cold and an injury. So, after physical therapy and acupunctural. I really wanted some good healing soup. Amazing kind people provided just what I need with a good bowl of pho with shrimp.

Came here and they had exactly what I was craving- Combination banh mi ($7) without the frills and overinflated prices of restaurants in the South Bay. We also ended up trying the beef rib pho, beef steak spring rolls, and the avocado and mango smoothies. Wow! Everything was delicious and authentic tasting. Best pho I’ve had in CA. Did not have to add any extra seasoning to the broth bc it was that good. Definitely looking forward to returning and trying the other menu items!

Love their food! Such a hidden gem of Gardena. I have their food at least once a week (especially after a hectic week) I haven’t try their phở but I recommend try their bun bo hue, my quang, banh mi, and duck noodle haha

Love this place. They occupy two spaces and it’s never that busy here. The service is good, and food is incredible. Prices are unbeatable ($5 iced coffee, $7 banh mi, $14 bun rieu).

WOW. Empty on a Wednesday at 6. Very clean and tidy. And holy cow, the food! Very, very good bun bo hue. Large and delicious goi cuon. Everything was fresh, with excellent ingredients. Just amazing. I will absolutely be back, and I can’t recommend this place enough

Small hole in the wall mom and pop shop. Really easy to miss as the parking is behind the building. There is a Cafe Nho next door so it is a different restaurant but might be the same owner. The food was absolutely delicious. The pho broth was sweet and flavorful and the egg rolls were fresh amd piping hot. They brought a tray of veggie toppings and dipping sauce for each person which is super uncommon, usually they bring one for everyone to share. The service was very fast and everyone was so kind. Highly recommended ans definitely will be back again in the future.

This place is such a hidden gem! So so so delicious. I grew up eating authentic Vietnamese food and this hit the spot! The service was so quick and everyone was super sweet. I would recommend 1000x. Very flavorful broths
