Formerly a popular Indian restaurant called Aatish, Pho Ellie continued to use halal meats to accommodate the Muslims who continued showing up. The result is a rare Vietnamese halal restaurant in the United States. Besides the most popular Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) dish, customers can sample a variety of meals such as cubed chicken rice plates, beef stew with French bread or delicious grilled shrimp/egg roll vermicelli. Don't forget to add a side order of freshly made to order spring rolls and of course the famous Vietnamese iced coffee. You can view the complete menu on their website at phoellie.com. Closed Sundays.  Added on January 24, 2009 and last updated 9 months ago

★★★★★  I have been to this place a few times now since it is close to my office. They have several different dishes other than Pho. So if you are not a fan of noodle soup there are other options to try. I particularly do not like Pho, but I really like their lemon grass chicken (served with rice) as well as their beef steak noodles. I have not yet tried there sandwiches, but there seem to pretty popular with other customers. The place itself is pretty spacious and clean. The staff (which I believe is the family that owns it) is very nice and helpful. I would definitely keep going back.

★★★★  Nice to have Vietnamese halal option. Note: the beef meatballs are not halal, and it states this on the menu. They have fresh chicken and shrimp spring rolls which is nice to eat. Te pho is pretty good. I think the serving is a little smaller than large size pho in other places. Th owner is frendly. I would go back

★★★  well...the first time I went I ordered pho--my first experience with the dish. I wasn't really a fan of the dish itself, which unfortunately, left me not wanting to experience the restaurant itself again. I don't think that has anything to say for the restaurant, but moreso the dish.

★★★★★  My family went there during the afternoon of 11/6/09 and the food was very good. Tried the beef Pho and the beef stew, both were delicious. also tried the egg rolls and the spring rolls, of the two, the fried egg rolls were by far the better. For me, since I'm a bread lover, was the toasty warm french bread. That was classic and very tasty.

★★★★★  So healthy and delicious food! We tried the spring rolls, the chicken pho, the half chicken plate, and the cube steak with vermicelli. All were so good. My two little boys loved the food too. Can't wait to go again!

★★★★  This place is really good and interesting. This is more of a sit and stop place than a restaurant. The food menu is very simple. The food it self is terrific and delicious. I never had Vietnamese Food before and it was interesting. "It is not Chinese Food!" The owner is really nice, and bought the restaurant that use to be a Indian Halal joint, and decided to use Halal meat to see if Muslims will come and eat, and it is working and other people are loving it and have the same taste as I do. This place is only 6 months old and growing in numbers.

★★★★★  I went there with my wife and son there on Friday 7/3. What a wonderfully clean place this is. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Vietnamese food is not like Chinese and that said it is very tasty. Try their specialty which is PHO Soups. Highly recommended.

★★★★★  A true GEM to have such a nice & clean Vietnamese Halal restaurant in the area. I am a Vietnamese-Muslim and barely get to experience the abundance of Vietnamese foods in Little Saigon. I was so pleased to see that there was a Viet halal restaurant while browsing Zabiha for the first few times I came on here. Food is great, service is very nice, the establishment is very very clean & bright, and most importantly its halal! I would highly reccommend anyone to try their Spring Rolls. If you haven't then you must! An order only comes with 2 rolls and its for about $3.25. Don't try to share it either because I can guarantee you that you'll end up wanting more!

Really wish there were more Vietnamese,Korean,Thai, etc Halal restaurants out there but being that this is the only first ever Vietnamese halal restaurant I've known of, I will definitely drive the 10 miles here.

Wonderful place overall!

★★★★★  My friends and I ordered their spring rolls, Pho with brisket, and vermicelli with steak. The vermicelli was my favorite but we all walked away very happy, and exchanged remarks about the fresh cuts of beef. Pricing was very reasonable, and next time I plan to have their ice coffee, as well!

★★★★★  Excellent food, quick & friendly service and a nice & clean area to sit.
I was visiting from San Francisco and thought to give Pho Ellie a try since halal vietnamese is hard to come by. The food is excellent, the taste has the home made touch to it which is rare anywhere. The owner was very friendly and service was quick and courteous. I will recommend it to anyone who is in the area visiting like me or a local resident.

★★★★★  Loved it. I had the rare steak and brisket Pho. It was great. Had vietnamese food for the first time and fell in love with their cuisine. Also had the VERY strong vietnamese iced coffee, really good.

★★★★★  I had been waiting for a halal vietnamese place for a long time, this place exceeded my expectations. The restaurant was very clean. We went at a busy time on saturday afternoon. There were only two people including the cook and what appears to be the owner lady. Even then service was very quick. We tried the egg rolls that were great. Pho, which was a noodle soup with steak, that was average, my mom had the vermicelli with steak that was excellent. The food was so good that we loaded up our big klan the next day, and headed back. Unfortunately, it was closed on Sunday. Anyways, this place is excellent, and a nice change from our typical desi food. I am definitely going to be a regular here.

★★★★  I tried the beef cubes with rice dish and enjoyed it. The portion was a little smaller than I expected, and it was priced at $6.75. They also had a chicken version as well. However it looks like their other specialties include Pho (soup type dish) with other types of meats. Service was excellent. It was a change of pace from the typical desi, arab, chineese halal restaurant. I really enjoyed the very strong Vietnamese coffee. Next time I'll have to try the Pho.
