I’m not really that picky with most veggie pho, so I knew Nong’s would be good, but DAAAANG! It was so tasty! The flavor of the broth, the veggies, the noodles… I was impressed to say the least. I had Edgar as my server and he was so sweet, helpful and charismatic. I can’t wait to be back soon!

Nong Lá is a great spot for a casual family dinner. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the dishes are usually really solid. We especially love their pho fillet mignon and house special. Only thing is the soups can be a bit inconsistent — sometimes they’re rich and flavorful, other times a little more bland. Still, overall a reliable place we enjoy going back to occasionally.

The food and the people are great. Got the ga nuong cha gio with a beer and it was a good amount of food and very tasty. Staff is friendly and accommodating. If you like Vietnamese food check it out!
… moreThe Baseline
The Baseline: For a Vietnamese cafe the Pho must be quality, the accompaniment add-in ingredients must be fresh, the meats must be well prepared, and menu must have authentic Vietnamese flavors.
Food: I had a Banh Mi sandwich had a crusty bread and fresh ingredients to complement the sesame steak. The spring rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce was delicious and stuck to the roll after dipping.
Service: Great service from the wait staff and they kept the water glasses full. The food was prepared efficiently and with care.
Ambiance: The cafe was nicely decorated and functional. The bathrooms are clean and serviced regularly. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of and there is an outdoor patio.

The shop is in a great location and prices are decent. But the food just isn’t super great and not very authentic. Overall it was good, but not somewhere I would die to come back for.

We have been here twice and have enjoyed the vegetarian pho which has always had a light yet very flavorful broth with reasonable portions of tofu and mushrooms.
Almost all options for vegetarians involve the contents of the pho minus the broth packed into a sandwich/rice paper/salad so there aren’t many varied options for vegetarians in terms of flavor.
However we would just come back again for the light, flavorful and comforting pho!

Food was solid. Bahn Mi was actually pretty good, but the Pho was just okay. Service wasn’t great. Was annoyed because we asked to sit at a table but made us sit at the bar since we were a party of two, then two minutes later another party of two gets sat at the table we wanted. Typical LA prices

Update: still outstanding. Still good service. Still has the best Pho in LA without question. Saw a review that said they’ve lost their touch. Got us a little scared. Understandably, this is something that happens when gems like these expand. I have to admit, I’ve had a similar experience once before. But not today, it was as good as ever. This location usually hits their mark. If I’m ever in the area, this is where you can find me, face deep inside a Tai Bo Vien.
Without question, the best Pho I’ve ever had can only be found at this location. I was not a huge fan of pho until I visited this place. I absolutely love the noodles, the broth and all their fresh ingredients. I’m also a fan of their Banh Mi sandwiches. Unfortunately, I’ve moved pretty far away from this location. but sometimes, I drive an hour out of my way just for a taste. Like today.

Not bad food, just too same kind of veggie (daikon and carrot) and mushrooms in every meal and not really a variety of vegan options, but the service is nice and the soup was good, minimalistic and simple, good in it’s meaning. They use canola oil, which is not healthy. The tofu they use is tasty. I think can be better but still good.

Very surprised. this place is not good anymore.
First time I visited Nong La on Sawtelle Blvd was 2017 when I was in town. Came back to NYC and was always reminiscing about the wonderful Pho I had there.
Fast forward 2023… I come back.
Very disappointed.
Fried eggrolls. Are so greasy and dripping in oil. Sent them back and they said they would remake them and even acknowledged that the eggrolls were quite greasier than usual.
The waitress literally came back 2 minutes later with the same plate of eggrolls as greasy as ever.
Lol I felt like we were being punked.
I didn’t even bother to complain because I had a feeling I would only be disappointed again.
Summer rolls came out and they were HARD.
They tasted as if they were made 8 hours prior and stored in the fridge.
For someone who doesn’t know.. they will just think vietnamese summer rolls are overrated.
That’s not true. Vietnamese summer rolls are supposed to be room temperature and bouncy soft in texture.
Not like a hard piece of rubber.
Rice with grilled pork was cold. I’m starting to think everything is made and plated in advance.
Don’t even get me started on the pho.
Horrible pho. Cloudy broth.
We came in at 7pm. Restaurant closes at 9pm. But still no excuse.
Broth tasted like bottom of the barrel sediment.
ZERO STARS.
It’s so bad, I wouldn’t even eat there for free.
