Viet Phomula, located at 113 E Lemon Ave in Monrovia, CA, is rapidly gaining a stellar reputation in the heart of the community. Customers are raving about this newly remodeled Vietnamese gem, highlighting the attentive service and the restaurant's ability to cater to diverse tastes. The vibrant food options, particularly the kimchi pho, have made waves for their bold balance of spicy and sour, while not skimping on tender meat.

Reviews consistently commend the unique broth, which many patrons like J C describe as outstanding and distinctively better than other local offerings. The prices are deemed reasonable, making it an appealing choice for both families and individuals. Though one diner mentioned the pork Bahn mi fell short in bread freshness and meat quantity, others found success with dishes like the spring rolls and vermicelli salad, which were widely praised for their freshness and flavor.

The cozy atmosphere combined with swift service adds to the overall experience, making Viet Phomula a restaurant worth revisiting. Whether craving comforting pho on a hot day or exploring various Vietnamese delights, this spot is a worthwhile destination in Monrovia.

Newly remodeled. Staff was great, super attentive and patient. Even tried their best to accommodate a family that came in and asked for chow mein. Broth was great. Had a fever on a hot day and this was great in helping me get over it. Will have to return with the family.

Not only are the people that run this place so nice and attentive, the food is absolutely phenomenal. I love their kimchi pho, it's the perfect blend of spicy and sour and they don't skimp on meat.

Located in Old Town Monrovia. The food is absolutely fantastic. The broth for the pho tasted unique and better than what I’m used to. Everything was surprisingly decently priced. I will definitely be coming back when I’m in the area. We tried the starter platter and a rice dish as well and nothing disappointed. I’d like to try their other offerings.

Finally made it in for a late lunch with my friends. Food was great. Their restaurant was pretty quiet. Food came out quickly! I had pork Bahn mi sandwich... it was just okay. The French bread was a little more dry than I like and the sandwich could have had more meat in it. My friends ordered their vermicelli salad and appetizer platter and extra spring rolls. All of which were good! I'm going to stick to what I normally order and go to Bahn Mi My Tho for sandwiches.

Wow, the best spring rolls EVER! Small place, but cozy. Great service and food but, just a smidge pricey with the appetizers.

Viet Phomula is a really good place for Pho. The Viet Pho Super Bowl is something special with that huge rib as a garnish. Almost impossible to eat by yourself and we dare you to try. I always come back home with leftovers. Everything else is pretty typical for a Vietnamese Restaurant but this place does it just about as good as the rest of them. We have been coming here for years and it’s still the same. It’s comfort food for us.

Viet Phomula is fantastic! We were in the area for the farmer's market and found this little gem just a few doors away. The portions are really good and the Vietnamese coffee is perfect! It was just renovated and it looks great!
