Pho may be the most recognizable Vietnamese noodle soup in America, but the menu at Pho Hue Oi invites Torrance diners to explore much further.

Located at 21227 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite 140, the restaurant is part of the Hue Oi Vietnamese Cuisine family, which built its reputation on dishes influenced by Huế, the historic former imperial capital in central Vietnam.

One of the menu’s defining specialties is bún bò Huế, a deeply flavored noodle soup traditionally made with a fragrant, spicy broth, thicker round noodles, beef and fresh herbs. Compared with the gentler profile of many pho broths, bún bò Huế delivers more heat, richness and aromatic intensity.

Diners who prefer familiar comfort food can still choose from several styles of pho. The broader menu also includes grilled meats, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, bánh mì and shareable Vietnamese appetizers.

The restaurant traces its roots to a family business that first opened in Orange County before expanding into the South Bay. Pho Hue Oi’s Torrance location opened in 2025, bringing the company’s regional Vietnamese specialties to the Village Del Amo shopping area.

This is a useful restaurant for mixed groups because the menu accommodates several appetites. One person can settle into a comforting bowl of pho, another can choose the bolder bún bò Huế, and someone else can order grilled meat over rice or vermicelli.

Pho Hue Oi may have “pho” in its name, but limiting your visit to the most familiar soup would miss what makes the restaurant interesting. Its strongest appeal is the chance to experience the bright, spicy and deeply savory character associated with central Vietnamese cooking.
