I would highly recommend Alo Asian Kitchen. The food was really amazing. It's also very close by and not far at all, so it's easy to come back. The service was friendly and the food came out looking really good. I also really like that they have MSG FREE, which is perfect for me since I was looking for that. The garlic noodles were my favorite. They had a strong garlic flavor and tasted really good. The vermicelli rice noodles were also very good and came with egg rolls, salad, and a sweet sauce that worked really well together. The egg rolls were a nice appetizer, crispy and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back again. read more

Great food, great service, and great ambiance. Alo Asian Kitchen has been my go-to place for comfort food for years. I especially love dining there in the late afternoon, around 4-5pm, when the ambiance possesses a calm, sun-warmed ease, and unpressed by time. Their Pho and Grilled Pork Rice are my favorite dishes. I have seen many other delicious dishes being served, but I cannot bring myself to order anything else. The Grilled Pork would have been fantastic had it come with broken rice, but even as it is, the flavorful, juicy, and tender pork is more than enough to satisfy. I've moved far away and can no longer visit them twice a month, but I'll definitely seize any opportunity to taste that Grilled Pork again! I should've written this review a long time ago, but you never truly appreciate something until you miss it. (I'll add more photos when I find them!) read more

The man and woman working here were very welcoming and kind throughout our visit. The restaurant is small and cozy and they've got a big tv playing sports. My husband ordered the pho and I ordered lemongrass filet bún. We got the fried rice and eggrolls for our kids. We all enjoyed our food. The eggrolls were some of the best I've had! You can tell it was made fresh to order. Everything had lots of flavor. We will definitely be back again read more

Service was good. The worker I ordered from was very kind and welcoming. I ordered the garlic noodles with filet mignon bites and bbq pork fried rice. The fried rice wasn't favorite. So flavorful and a very good quantity of bbq pork in every bite. The garlic noodles were really tasty as well. The filet mignon bites were tender and well seasoned. Good portions as well. The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. Definitely will be back to order more items. read more

Love at first bite!! I loved loved loved every single items I ordered via DoorDash last night. Parking was free and plenty to choose from. Order was ready upon arrival. Service was no fuss no nonsense no wait no frustration. Super friendly and efficient!! The restaurant itself inside is well lit and extremely bright. Almost too bright where I would have trouble feeling relaxed while eating. The food itself was perfect. The grilled pork spring rolls were extremely filling and super fresh. Honestly, just devouring the two rolls completely got me overstuffed. The peanut sauce was perfect too. Not too thick or too sweet. Just right. Same with the egg rolls. Extremely crunchy but very flavorful. Next time I wouldn't mind ordering the platter. The popcorn chicken was a bit too garlicky for my taste and it used white meat. Not exactly my favorite though it still had good flavors. I don't think I would get them again. The fried rice was ok. I thought it was hot and fresh but probably won't be reordering. All in all, I look forward to reordering from Alo again and trying out their other menu items. It's so nice to have such a nice restaurant to get fresh veggie packed food from! read more

It was great visiting this place for the first time. I ordered the house special crispy noodle because I wanted to compare it to the Chinese dish, house special chow mein. Everything was freshly made, and it didn't feel super heavy to eat which I liked. The choice of meat tasted good, I just think I personally prefer to eat it with thin slices of beef instead with more sauce. The peach lemonade tea was really good. It was very refreshing. The employees were super nice and friendly. They'll help you get anything you need. I went in the afternoon so it was quieter to enjoy my food. They had Vietnamese music playing in the background which was nice. read more

SUPER authentic viet food, it completely cured my home sickness since I'm away from Houston Texas for school. I believe this place is family owned and is a small business but they manage to be extremely well organized! The owners speak both English and Vietnamese, and the banh was HUGE. The avocado smoothie was super good and not too sweet. Overall 5/5 would definitely support the again read more

I was in the area and wanted popcorn chicken and found Alo Asian Kitchen on here. I ordered on the phone and got the garlic butter popcorn chicken and crunchy fries.

This is a hidden gem. When you walk in, it looks like a little dessert and gelato cafe, but then they hand you a menu filled with delicious Asian and Vietnamese appetizers and entrees. We started with some crunchy garlic popcorn chicken and some crunchy garlic French fries. Both were terrific. The fries were crisp and hot. The chicken was bursting with garlic flavor. Next I tried the garlic noodles with the chicken. Noodles had terrific flavor. The filet mignon plate was steaming hot and the steak was tender. It came with a heaping pile of white rice on the side. All was good and the service was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. read more

I had a craving for pho and had been wanting to give this place a try since it popped up. It was lovely. We got the pork bao buns to start and followed up with the filet minón pho and everything tasted perfect. The service we received was quick and friendly. It's a cozy spot but there's enough room to feel comfortable. We didn't get any desserts but there are some on display that looked very enticing. We will certainly be returning when the pho craving strikes again! read more

I've had pho in a lot of places, but this location does it for me in terms of the flavor, as well as the quality of the meat (filet mignon specifically). Highly recommend. Service was great overall. I think I've found the new location for comfort food. 10/10 read more

I appreciate that Alo Asian Kitchen has vegan and vegetarian options, and my go to order is always the vegan pho. The inside is on the smaller side, but the staff is really nice. I'm giving it a 3/5 because the food isn't very consistent. Sometimes the vegetables are overcooked, and the portions vary quite a bit, so I never really know what my order will be like from one visit to the next.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Garlic noodles with shrimp - the shrimp were overcooked, so the tails were hard to remove, but it still tastes good. Nice garlic flavor. Vermicelli bowl with beef rib - they very graciously let me do the beef bones with this dish - not a standard option, but they were very accommodating when asked! I always appreciate that. Beef rib pho - flavorful broth, the meat came off the bone very easily and was very good I'm the soup. read more

Alo Asian Kitchen just happens to be where the old Signature Cafe was in Laguna Niguel. I wanted to try a new place so we found Alo on Yelp. I was coming off of a procedure and wanted some soup so we drove over to Alo for some pho for me and garlic noodles for him. He actually ordered the Garlic noodles with Filet mignon. I had the rare filet pho. They have a 5% off Yelp check-in deal at the moment so we utilized that as well. There was no one in there when we arrived around noon on a Monday but two other customers showed up while we were eating. The service was okay. The food was good. The pho broth was nice and savory. The beef was tender. My husband devoured his meal. I had a couple of bites before he inhaled it. It was also good. My only complaint is they give you just one napkin per person, which they bring to you when you order. There are no napkin dispensers on the tables and no utensil containers like you would see in other Asian restaurants. It was nice to try and note that there are other options for pho in South County. Parking spaces are plentiful in this lot. read more

Great vermicelli here! Delicious pork! It's hard to find food that is less than $20 for dining in, but this place, you can get some food delicious Vermicelli for less than $20 (even if you dine in). Amazing! The dish came with a lot of toppings, meat, and noodles, so portion size was great! The place serves desserts, like ice cream and macaroons as well. The waitress was super friendly and checked in with us consistently. I didn't have to wait too long for food to arrive. Parking was pretty easy as this restaurant is located in a plaza. Overall, had a great experience here and I definitely recommend trying this place! read more

The bao was fluffy and had the perfect amount of meat, I would definitely recommend all of these items and will happily be back to try other things!! read more

Alo Asian Kitchen - Pork Bao (Quantity of 1), Grilled Pork Baguette, Egg Roll Platter (Quantity of 4) - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Wanted some Vietnamese food so stopped by here. Lots of free parking in a shared lot. A couple of outside tables available. There is an industrial sized fan in the middle back of the indoor dining area which when turned on, can get very windy. We actually moved seats to avoid its draft. The table after us asked them to turn it off because it was uncomfortable. They sell boba, ceramic decorations, gelato, coffee, tea, smoothies, milkshakes and food. For food, they have pho, vermicelli, rice, sandwiches, etc. We opted for the beef stew with bread ($18.95) and chicken vermicelli with an egg roll. The chicken came as a patty so you need to cut up the chicken yourself. There was not enough nuoc mam ratio to the vermicelli so it was a bit dry. The beef stew was good, a bit too salty. Check in on Yelp for a discount on your overall check. Only one person serving. read more

Alo Asian Kitchen is a great choice for lunch or dinner! It's clean and prices on their offerings are reasonable. Whether you're seeking a meal or dessert, they've got it here. My son enjoyed their macaron with ice cream and sprinkles. I loved their filet mignon with broken rice. Service was excellent and food was made fresh! To my surprise they also offer apple juice boxes for children... Score for my son. He happened to notice one tucked away in the desert display and asked for one lol.

This is a true hidden gem! How did I just discover this place?! Phenomenal food, beautiful people behind the counter. Thank you very much!

This place came in clutch for being open on the holidays when most other places in the area were closed. After getting what felt like a child's meal for dinner at a restaurant in Irvine and then trying to go to a couple other places on the way home for a snack only to discover they had closed early, my partner luckily remembered this place and suggested checking if it were open. Fortunately, it was, and although I ordered in person, the food was ready for takeout within a few minutes. I got the grilled tofu and rice combo, and it was great. Nothing fancy, but it was well-seasoned and tasted like a home-cooked meal, which is exactly what I wanted. read more
