Pho Lena East

It was a little busy so some items of my order came at staggered times, but the food was very good, the staff were kind, and the prices were generally quite nice compared to most places to eat in Anchorage The fresh rolls felt a tiny bit pricey, but I would overall I would strongly recommend anyone come here if they’re in the mood for Vietnamese cooking. Having tried both the Curry and the Pho, it’s a strong local spot and I will be coming back again

Good spot for some Pho. The location is not currently correct on google maps but it is within the general area. The cashier/ server had great customer service and was able to hold himself very well. Was a one man show with all the instore customers and Door Dash orders. I had gotten the Pho Gai and it was pretty good. Nice taste on the broth and definitely plenty to eat in there. Would recommend hitting this spot up the next chance you get.

I come here all the time with my wife. We’ve been coming here for over a year. Tonight I sat and waited for 30 minutes for my food. I ordered the yellow curry, tofu, NO vegetables or potatoes. When they bring the food out the yellow curry had potatoes. I told the guy serving me and he offered to take the potatoes out. I didn’t say this to him but respectfully I’m not a child. I can take the potatoes out myself. For as long as i waited it shouldn’t have had potatoes. On top of that the curry soup was COLD. like it was sitting and not even fresh. However my wife’s pho came out nice, steaming, and hot. Usually the wait time is only 10 minutes and every other time I’ve been there it’s been great food and great service.

The pho bowls are different compared to other pho spots in town which is something unique. I always get the thai tea as well, cup size is a little small and about the same price compared to the other pho spots in town. Menu options are not vast but decent selection. The options to things to add to you're pho are limited compared to other pho spots.

Go in person and try two things. 1.) The Well Done beef pho. It tastes amazing. The broth, the noodles, everything is on point. 2.) OH MY GOD the Sesame Chicken is AMAZING. Crispy, not soggy. The sauce is delicious. A little sweet, tangy, and slightly citrusy. The family chefs in the back kitchen are doing something right. It's a hole in the wall, but the food is phenomenal.
