Pho Ga District

Come to Pho Ga District for the chicken pho. Its salty-sweet broth layers fish sauce, garlic, and ginger for a flavor trifecta that packs more of a punch than the Powerpuff Girls. Skip the boneless chicken option and go with the  bone-in chicken leg instead—it adds a fatty richness to the bowl of silky rice noodles and is even better when you add a squeeze of lemon to brighten things up. This strip mall spot in Rosemead is almost always full of families, friends, and solo diners eating meals in a hurry. Avoid the lunch rush and you’ll cut down on wait times significantly.
