The restaurant was named for the year many of the family arrived in the United States, 1979. The restaurant was one of the first in the area to serve pho and according to the Beard announcement, "helped pave the way for Southern California's Little Saigon to become the dynamic hub of Vietnamese cuisine" in the area.

More specifically it is the year that our family first immigrated to the United States. This number means a lot to our family and is something that has been around since the beginning of our business. With that, we'd like to invite you to come share some of our strong family ties and enjoy a nice hot bowl of Pho 95!

Pho is an award-winning Vietnamese street food restaurant founded by husband-and-wife team Stephen and Jules Wall in 2005. The couple were inspired to open the UK's first speciality phở restaurant after quitting their jobs, travelling around the world, and falling in love with Vietnam and its national dish, phở.
