Wanted to try this place after visiting Ha Long Bay. It's a huge space. Went on a random Wednesday and there were about 4-5 parties. The food came out super fast. Servers were attentive and sweet. The regular bowl of pho felt a bit small, the protein of the meat balls were maybe 3 maybe 4 cut in half. The vegetables the pho came with felt skimpy but it was enough. The broth tasted pretty clean, not like most pho places. The portion overall was pretty filling. The star would be the bun cha, the patties were juicy, other meat was thin but the patty made up for it. The portion was perfect. Honestly not a bad! I'd come back again. read more

First visit to Ha Long Bay Pho & Grill and I'm already conflicted... in a good way. Took the family to the beach, had a long day out, and on the way home we were cold, tired, and hungry hungry. You know that level of hunger where anything hot sounds like a life decision? Yeah, that. We landed here for pho and let me just say... we cleaned everything. Bowls empty and no leftovers. The broth hit the spot, warm and comforting, and the portions did not disappoint. But here's my only dilemma... Was it actually 5-star pho? Or were we just beach-worn, starving, and emotionally attached to the first hot meal we saw? Because in that moment, it felt like a 10/10. No complaints, no notes. Just pure satisfaction. So for now, I'm giving it 4 stars with strong 5-star potential. I need a second visit on a regular day, not post-beach survival mode, to really judge it fairly. Either way, first impression? Solid. And I'll definitely be back to run it again. read more

OMG. I got pho with brisket and steak and egg rolls. Only reason I didn't give 5 starts was because the server made a couple mistakes but overall great experience. Definitely coming back though! Check them out. It's delicious. read more

Food is always very good, the place looks clean but we always order to go because the times we've eaten there we are always rushed too much. We can't enjoy the time there when you are rushed to order and to pay. Parking is always available and the pho is amazing. Everything we've tried has been very tasty and service is fast. read more

Saturday dinner. Lots of parking. No wait. Very clean and spacious. Friendly and attentive service as usual. Food was prepared at lightning speed and was so satisfying and delicious. Great portions and prices. Lots of meat in their regular pho bowls. Their banh mi sandwiches are the best in OC. Til next time! read more

Clean and decent pho place! Ha long ba pho and grill is located inside a small lot, plenty of parking. Interior is large with good amount of booth seating. I got a small pho with seafood and my hubby got a pork dish with vermicelli. Pho was flavorful with lots of seafood. My hubbys dish was vinegary with lots of meat. Overall filling and not overly pricy! Would love to try the beef pho here next time. read more

Popcorn Chicken - I highly do not recommend. It is hard to mess up popcorn chicken but they taste like plain chicken tossed in fried oil and served. Their plain sauce did not help improve the taste at all. Pho - I also do not recommend Pho here unfortunately. It was ok if you enjoy sweet water Pho. I cannot find the normal pho flavor with rich bone broth, star anise/cloves/cardamon etc. It lacked the authentic taste of Pho. BBQ pork dish was overly sweet and not well marinated. I did not get that freshly grilled taste either. Maybe we just came on a bad day but the overall taste here did not taste like Vietnamese cuisine. It is either very plain or overly sweet. There was another table besides us on a Saturday afternoon out of the whole restaurant. Parking is big and pretty empty so we did not have any trouble find a place to park. Staff was not very attentive but if you raise your hand, they will come and assist you which is typical of most Vietnamese places. I love the restaurant name and their decors. However, I was disappointed in their Vietnamese dishes. read more

We really like this place! They were quick and efficient and the food tasted good! The regular-sized pho portions are a little on the small side but I was happy with the flavor of my pho. I also loved the eggrolls but was a little sad they didn't give me lettuce to go with the eggrolls like other Vietnamese restaurants do (they probably would have, if I asked). All in all, a yummy place and I would come back! read more

Ha Long Bay is our go-to local spot for pho. Definitely recommend trying their pho, garlic shrimp, egg and spring rolls. Sometimes there's a wait, but once you're seated the food comes out fast! Seems popular for delivery / pickup. + Ample parking + Ample seating inside + Friendly service + Food is tasty + Prices are reasonable for the area read more

Really like the food. I had a shrimp PadThai Very delicious.! But, portion of it wasn't much.

Our first visit here and we will be back! It has such a homey vibe, great to bring your kids and family after school and all share a good meal in a cozy environment, it's a very casual and welcoming vibe. The food is delicious! We shared a pho dish, seafood fried rice and the calamari. For just the two of us it was great and so affordable! Plenty of parking and close to shopping stores. Friendly welcoming vibes all around! read more

I had an occasion to stop in for lunch at Ha Long Bay Pho and Grill and was drawn by some of the previously written reviews. The popularity of Vietnamese cuisine has left us with many great options around the County to find the right spot for a bowl of Pho or other tasty preferences. Trying to distinguish a one from another at times can be like splitting hairs over broth quality or unique twists. Seeking one of those unique twists was a big motivation to give Ha Long Bay a try. I'll start with some notable aspects of Ha Long. It is located conveniently just off the freeway and adjacent to main throughfares making it easily accessible from all directions. The restaurant is well maintained with staff who are very attentive and quick to provide you with whatever your need whether it be a sauce or a drink. On this occasion, I ordered a regular bowl of their Pho with Brisket and Spring Rolls with Shrimp and Pork crispers. The Rolls were very large with a traditional dipping sauce. They were prepared with customary contents and left uncut which accentuated their size. Good quality ingredients with a very heavy (thick) sauce that could have used additional flavor as it didn't really enhance the roll which was about average. The bowl of Pho was served in the traditional sense with all of the key ingredients. The ratio of meat to noodles and broth were good. Something to note was the freshness of the side plate of vegetables (sprouts, basil and jalapenos). Very good quality and appropriately ratioed. In my opinion, the broth was a little light on flavoring with a slight hint of star anise and was short on richness. Both dishes hit the mark in terms of quality and while Ha Long may be a favorite for some, I might rely on others for my Pho eating occasions. Overall, Ha Long Bay Pho and Grill was good with many items on the menu from which to choose a fixing for Vietnamese cuisine. The cleanliness of the restaurant and the quality of the ingredients are also things to note. In a pinch, a spot to enjoy a meal, but may not be a favorite for some others around town. read more

There's about 3 pho places in Tustin I can think of and this is by far the worst one sadly. Came here on a Friday night and there were a good amount of tables open but they seem understaffed so we waited a while to be seated. Maybe I'm not used to waiting for pho at all the places I've been to, but this place took extremely long for the food to come out. The pho wasn't anything special and the meat was really tough. Towards the end of my bowl, I find a small piece of hair that looked like a beard hair and left it on the side. I'm a little grossed out and stir my soup around until I find another one. We also ordered egg rolls and they were super hot, and crispy but they only give one little tiny piece of lettuce with it. There another pho place next to stater bros that is amazing though. read more

Delicious vegetarian pad see ew with (hu tieu, rice noodles). Unbeatably delicious, reasonably priced, and huge portions. My parents love their seafood/combination pad see ew and have tried their mi xao (egg noodles) and Pad Thai. Their vegetarian egg rolls was delicious, hot, and fresh as well. We haven't tried their pho yet, but plan to on a future visit. Service is fast and friendly and there is plenty of parking. read more

Very clean, upscale nicely decorated Vietnamese restaurant with fast, efficient service and good Phó quality and adequate quantity but missing one ingredient, the authentic, depth of truly well-prepared, old, amazing Phó soup with bone, chicken and other secret ingredients that I have no clue about but my taste buds simply can pick out among many hundreds of Phó places. The complex, hot, deep Phó place, this isn't. Even their $14 appetizer chicken wings are dry and not moist. The fried batter was acceptable but once again there was no deep delicate balance of quality chicken wings only available with culinary skills and style that require patience and know-how of master chéf from the Vietnamese mainland. This is definitely a missing ingredient of this restaurant. Solid 3 Stars for clean nice service but foods need a little help. I love Phó and everything about Vietnamese cuisine but I do have very selective, discerning taste since I was introduced by my colleague roommate. His maternal grandmother was fresh from Saigon with master's culinary skills and style that I was really privileged to taste and learn what it's really about the most authentic and amazingly delicious Vietnamese French cuisine should be. read more

This pho restaurant was very pleasant. They are very clean and provide fast and friendly service. I ordered the seafood pho, expecting fish balls, but they actually served fresh fish. The broth is tasty and their spring rolls are excellent. I have visited 3 times since and plan and returning. read more

Been here about three times only because my gf likes the bun cha there but everything else is below average, the high reviews are straight up gaslighting. Maybe it's just those three times that I went but the servers looked as if they hated being there, the last time I went there the server that served us looked pissed off the whole time that I thought I did something wrong lol, I'm not asking for a smile or special treatment, but the vibe is way off. As we left I joked to my gf that if I wanted to eat while looking at a pissed off face then I would have just eaten at home with her and we both laughed so at least that's a positive from this experience. Seriously they are NOT FRIENDLY here at all. read more

Ordered a grilled pork plate and the meat came out looking super sketchy. I took a bite and it was super over marinated and over seasoned. I had my wife taste it and she spit it out lol. I ended up not eating it = cut my losses to avoid food poisoning/upset stomach. The waitress came by and asked if I didn't like it and I did yea it was over seasoned. She then said well I could have told you that you wouldn't like this ... nobody orders this. I would have recommended this First off why have it on the menu if you all know it's disgusting? Secondly, thanks for telling me after I ordered and paid for it. Mid Vietnamese food but for expensive OC prices. Hard pass read more

If you're looking for a place where happiness comes in the shape of a long, warm bánh mì, look no further than Ha Long Bay Pho & Grill. Their bánh mì is so good it should have its own fan club. Warm, toasty, delicious--basically the culinary equivalent of a hug. The service? Just as warm as the sandwiches. Walk in once and they treat you like you've been coming there since the grand opening. Walk in twice and they might adopt you. Come for the pho, stay for the bánh mì, and leave wondering if it's socially acceptable to order three more for "later." read more

Dined here for dinner with family. Ordered the bbq pork on vermicelli. Normally this one of my fabs but this time the pork was so chewy and tough I couldn't eat it. The vermicelli noodles had clearly been prepared earlier then served clumping together- I vowed I wouldn't order this again. Family liked their tofu lemongrass with rice though. But the major reason for the lower rating this visit is the sticky dining table! Are they using any cleaning products on the tables to remove the sticky? Does seem so. Would like to see better sanitation and food quality control. read more

First time here. I thought I would try it since it's close by my mom's house. The price seems reasonable, it's nice place, they sat us down pretty quick and took our order right away. It's a nice clean place and very relaxing. The place is quiet and perfect for lunch. The food is fresh and tastes wonderful. read more

Great food and reasonably priced. The pork chop broken rice and vermicelli noodles with charbroiled beef is great.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately my experiences haven't been great. I always order to-go, and on multiple occasions I've consistently found long black hairs in the pho noodle packages, which is extremely off-putting. The meat has also been five to me frozen at times, which takes away from the quality and freshness you'd expect from pho. On top of that, they don't accept Apple Pay, which makes ordering inconvenient. With so many other pho spots nearby, I feel like the food quality, consistency, and attention to detail just aren't up to par here. read more

We came today for lunch and it's a cavernous place. I had to walk up to the counter and announce our presence. Then get our own menus because the female owner was breaking down some boxes. Ok, cool... took about 7-8 minutes before she came to take our order. Two entrees and an order of spring rolls. We asked for water. Another 10 minutes and then one of the entrees came out. No water and I could see out of the corner of my eye that she was aghast that her male cohort did not bring out the waters nor the appetizer. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I've been here before when they were more organized. Plus the flavors in our lemongrass beef vermicelli and lemongrass chicken rice were satisfying. But I did not appreciate the lackluster customer service. We had to walk up to the counter and ask for plates when it was obvious we needed to share the spring rolls. goi cuon appetizer. Ample parking in the strip mall, and a large menu with pictures. I would hesitate returning until they improve upon their service. We shouldn't be interrupting their business; we are their business. read more

We came here on a Saturday night for dinner. Plenty of parking and off the Main Street of Newport Ave in Tustin. The restaurant is clean with an extensive menu. We were immediately seated in a booth and met with friendly customer service. The menu includes appetizers, vermicelli and rice dishes and of course PHO! We ordered the beef lemongrass with vermicelli noodles (B7) and steamed rice with grilled beef (R6). The food came out within 10 minutes. Decent portion, AMAZING flavors, fresh and healthy. We both devoured and finished our dishes and didn't feel sick or stiffed. Vietnamese food is light, healthy and clean. Definitely recommend and will return.

The soup tastes good but the meat didn't like the flavor. It tastes like old meat. Maybe next time I'll buy the shrimp soup.

Amazing pho! Cody is a great server. Will return. It smells nice in here. The floor is new and it's a great location.

Hands-down, my go to spot for pho in Tustin I'm usually always getting a mix of their house special or something that has tendon in it. The broth is absolutely delicious here if they were to sell the broth itself in a cup I would take it home and drink it every single morning. The services always great here. They're always on point to either refill your drink or water or if you need any extra condiments or jalapeños, they will give it to you without question. I don't know what location they took over when they open this spot, but it looks like it used to be some type of ship theme. Either way it looks nice inside. Overall, I would highly recommend this fuss spot to anyone anytime especially when it's raining. If you find yourself near Tustin, come here for a delicious pho read more
