Phorage - Los Angeles

I absolutely love phorage. Vibes and ambiance are great, and the delivery is even better. My dashpass with door dash gets me a bowl of fulfillment in the winter time. I'll never leave my house again! They really don't cheap out and they get me well fed, returning as a happy customer each time.

I decided to try this place out and they are currently only doing to-go orders. I ended up getting their Jidori Chicken Broken Rice Bowl, Pho Birria de Res, and a Thai Tea Boba. The Jidori Chicken Broken Rice Bowl was simple and had a good amount of chicken with rice and some veggies on the side paired with a sweet fish sauce. It was simple, but tasty and straightforward. I kinda wished that it had some more herbs and veggies to lighten the overall meal. The Pho Birria deRes was very interesting since it is a fusion between the Mexican stewed broth with Vietnamese pho. I really like the concept, but the broth itself was a bit lacking in flavor and was missing depth. The rice noodles that it came with were abit too clumped up together as well and took a bit of reheating to get it to separate. The veggies that it came with was shredded cabbage and jalapeños with plenty of limes to brighten the dish. It's an intriguing dish, but can be executedbetter. The Thai Tea Boba was decent. The tapioca pearls were a little bit tough, but not too bad. Not the best boba that I have had, but alright. Hopefully when they are able to open back up for dine-in the quality will improve.

My first Pho and found it good, with a huge bowl (I could not finish it! . Loved the clearly marked gluten free options that's why I went. Staff were cold at first, but got friendlier as I left. There is limited parking available in the lot, shared with other stores.

I've been here a couple times and will continue to partake in homely style Vietnamese. The quality of everything is a notch above the rest. While everything comes out fresh, I have to say their Pho lacks flavor, compared to rivals. It's unfortunate because it's just so fresh and beautiful. I do applaud their to-go containers. Simply the best I've ever seen. Continues to keep everything fresh even after Door-Dash delays your order beyond recognition.

Stopped by once we realized the Kogi truck wasn?t there and it was a great filler food. Not convinced on authenticity of Pho but everyone was super nice and flavors were good. I?d go again if I was super hunger and in the area.
