A Local Legend I’ve been going to this place since it opened in the old “The ____ ___hen” building. (That’s “The Chinese Kitchen”, but over the years all the lights burned out except for… well you get it). Though I was sad when “The hen” finally died, because their sweet and sour soup was the best anywhere, I soon forgot all of my lack-soup woes and also discovered that I can’t live without good handmade noodles. Pho Lena’s menu is massive and changing all the time. I find something new to try just about every time I go. (Though the rate of change has slowed a bit over the years, I think that just means they’ve started to settle on the really, really, really good stuff). I think my only complaint about the place is that they seem to have lost something subtle in their flavor as they have grown and expanded. I can’t place my finger on it. It might be the way they make their stocks, or maybe an ingredient they can’t always get. I don’t know. But it’s still so darn good that it keeps me coming back even with all the other Pho places in town these days. Pho Lena is amazing, with enough variety to please anyone.

Pho Lena has great Pho! The flavor of the broth is there! They have ample dishes on a small table so you can squirt whatever spicy accoutrements you want on the side. Thin sliced beef comes raw on the side if you ask 👌🏼I drive across town for this stuff.

Amazing Thai/Lao (and I assume Pho too). After a month in Thailand, have had a hard time finding good Thai in NYC and now LA (outside of Thai town)... Wonderful find in Alaska of all places!

This is my favorite Asian restaurant! The food is affordable and consistently tastes great. The staff are friendly and I love that they leave their condiments and to-go boxes out. My favorite is the pad Thai and papaya salad. This place will not disappoint.

I have never dined in, but have picked up often. I get the same soup (#45) every time because it is SO good that I cant get myself to try anything new! Great customer service as well.
