Pho Thin 13 Lo Duc: Experience Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine in Westminster

Absolutely best pho in town. Their pho has more flavor from the North Vietnam which I love. The meat is so tender and it serves with rau ngổ which is rare but it’s authentic. Highly recommended when you’re in town.

Level up your PHO game in Westminster with PHO THIN. It is a Northern Style Pho that is rich in flavor. DO NOT FORGET their fresh garlic slices.

Definitely different flavor and taste than most other Pho places in the Bolsa area. The broth is bold and rich with beef flavor, probably due to the generous amount of fat (Nuoc Beo). Like the original Hanoi branch, they use shredded green onions instead of sliced white onions which is interesting but I do like it. The meat is also very flavorful which is not always the case with many other pho places. Personally, I don't care for Pho broth which is on the sweet side and their broth is a bit on the sweet side. They do use a lot of MSG which also something I don't care for. So I fix this by adding some hot water to the broth to lessen the sweetness and MSG, and then adding back a bit of fish sauce. In any case, I think most people will really like the Pho here.

If you’re looking for real Hanoi-style phở, this is the spot. The broth is rich and savory, with that signature northern flavor — less sweet, more depth. The stir-fried beef gives it a smoky aroma that makes it different from typical phở. Simple but done right. And surprisingly, the milk tea here is very good — smooth, balanced sweetness, not watered down. If you like northern phở, you’ll appreciate this place.

Pho Thin served the best Pho I have had so far in the US. Our friend took us here for breakfast before our early flight. They open really early in the morning (8am) which is similar to many restaurants in Vietnam. There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant and it was almost empty the day we went but it could get crowded during the day. The space inside is not very big but there are still many tables, maybe because it’s early morning. Everything is clean and decorated nicely to give the Vietnamese vibe. This restaurant serves the northern Vietnamese style pho which I normally am not a fan of. However, the way they made the pho noodles, the broth, and the stir-fried beef was so authentic that it tasted better than all other pho places I have tried so far in the US. In overall, it is one of the best restaurants I have tried in CA. Location, hours, price, and food quality are all top-notch that I will definitely come back for more.

Northern Pho style. Broth not sweet definitely my taste. Service was quick and friendly staffs. Wish they had chili oil.

This must be the best pho I have ever had. The noddles were fresh and just melt in your mouth. I got the special with the ribs and meatballs and the broth was delicious. 9.5/10 for me.
