ASAP Phorage

"The pho at Phorage in Palms and ASAP Phorage in Playa del Rey is pretty much the same, but ASAP tends to be the one we end up at, partly because of the joy that comes from eating in the back of a convenience store. And also the excellent pho - we always order the Washugyu beef. The broth tastes like it’s been cooking for days, and their meat is really high quality. If you start thinking about ASAP Phorage’s washugyu beef pho the moment your plane begins its descent into LAX, we have that in common. But the real secret at this tiny Vietnamese shop in the back of a convenience store in Playa del Rey are the banh mi sandwiches. The lemongrass pork and jidori chicken are both excellent, but it’s the ground beef curry with shaved coconut and red curry aioli that keeps us up at night. Or should we say, while we’re trying to get some sleep on the plane."
