The woman at the counter in the front was incredibly kind! The Vietnamese coffee, Thai Tea, and eggrolls were delicious! Will definitely be back to try the pho as well! read more

I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed. This is such an amazing pho spot for the area, and to top it off all the dishes here are amazing quality. The pho has a more anise leaning flavor that may be a little more unusual to the average diner, but I fell in love with it. The pho broth is clean and the portion sizes are good, especially given the area and the price. Outside of pho, the appetizer platter is amazing. All the dishes in the appetizer platter are cooked to perfection and all the vegetables are fresh and the fish sauce is so rich. It's some of the best fish sauce I've come across recently, really umami while still somehow being clean. To top it all off - the vietnamese iced coffee. I love Vietnamese iced coffee and I always order it at a Vietnamese restaurant. I've had a lot throughout my life and this is, in my opinion, the BEST Vietnamese iced coffee I have ever had. It's so good, it literally tastes like you're drinking a more coffee forward ice cream in the best way possible. It's not too sweet and leans creamy - absolute perfection. The place itself is a little small, but service is always really fast. I've only been a couple times where the place was slammed busy. If you come at off times you won't have to wait, but at peak hours you might have to wait 15-30 minutes for a table. The only real downside of this spot is the actual location. It's located on a weird strip center right after the the 55 freeway exit, and the entry points to the strip center are weird. Just be prepared not to miss the turns into the center, because it can take a while to circle back to the entries. Overall, highly recommend this place. Grab a bowl of pho and don't skip on the vietnamese iced coffee. read more

Small little restaurant, the staff were extremely sweet and the food had tons of flavor. We enjoyed the appetizer and pho. Tons of parking, but for a family of five our table was a bit tight. The sizzling crispy shrimp crepe was delicious! read more

I think I found my new favorite sanctuary. Walking into KJB Pho & Eggrolls, you're immediately hit with this super chill, cozy vibe--it's the kind of spot where you can actually hear yourself think while you eat. The broth; It's light but packed with so much flavor, and the aroma is basically therapy in a bowl. Also, those eggrolls are a literal obsession; the crunch is next level. Between the laid-back atmosphere and the staff being genuinely the sweetest people ever, the whole experience just felt so personal. If you need a spot that's as welcoming as the food is delicious, this is it. read more

This is a small little family owned spot. The place is super small and I assume they're known for takeout. The service is phenomenal and the food is very good. I got the banh xeo and beef noodles. Very generous portions and filling. The broth is very fresh and has no msg taste. I definitely would come back here. read more

The nest egg rolls here are sooo good - they combine shrimp and taro and it's a unique egg roll wrap texture that looks kind of like a nest. It's super delicious with the lettuce, basil, and fish sauce. Also ordered the vegetarian pho, which is a large portion. They are very generous with noodles and veggies. read more

Nice restaurant, parking in the front, next to Toast restaurant. Ordered take-out at the counter. Got the shaken beef with rice. Some places add mushrooms, some don't; this dish has mushrooms. A couple of beef pieces were tough and half of the rice was a bit clumpy, but overall nice flavor. Price was less than $20 which was nice. Service was fine and it looked clean inside. read more

KJB Pho and Eggrolls - Shaken Beef With Steamed Rice (Com Bo Luc Lac) - Vietnamese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The pho is excellent (and comes in titanic portions). The egg rolls are crispy. The service is beyond friendly. What more could you want? We tried a few different bowls of pho, each one offering a different combination of beef products. I ended up with a combination pho that included brisket, rare beef, meatball, and tendon. We also tried the egg rolls and a savory egg crepe that is a specialty of theirs. It was all very comforting - the soup had so much flavor and richness to it. In our eagerness to sample their dishes, I think we ordered a bit too much. Plan for a food coma afterwards! read more

I've tried multiple pho spots since I've been on the yelp elite squad, and I can confidently say this; this pho spot has the most flavorful and bold broth I've had. They are very generous with the meat portions and the noodles are cooked to perfection. The service was excellent and the interior was very clean. I also tried their Vietnamese coffee and it was one of the best I've tried. It was strong like Vietnamese coffee should, it was sweet, and most importantly, it was smooth. They must've used heavy cream or some kind of sweetener that made it that way. Either way, it was delicious and every time I'm out in the area, I will be stopping by! read more

I got takeout from here and was quite impressed; I think it's the best pho I've had in Costa Mesa. I am really looking forward to trying it again for dine-in (it's always better fresh!) I saw someone come in and grab a Vietnamese coffee, and it made me curious so I got one as well. Yum! This is my favorite Vietnamese coffee. It actually put me on a kick for trying other places' Vietnamese coffee but nothing compared to KJB. Service was really nice and the ambiance is quite nice and clean, I would definitely dine in in the future! read more

No issues, good pho. Fast and kind service. Definitely check this place out as option when you need some Vietnamese food! Casual ambiance and when I arrived just me and one other person. By the time I left the place had filled up! read more

The egg rolls come with 4 total but I ate one before taking the picture. This was a really good pho spot. I took it to go and it lived up to all my expectations. Loved that the combination pho had so much meat and it's honestly the first time I actually enjoyed meatballs from a pho spot. Egg rolls and spring rolls were on point as well. The workers were also really great at checking my order and making sure everything was correct before I left which i definitely appreciate the effort as I'd rather wait a little and have everything I ordered then get home and something be missing or out of place. read more

I'd like to say this place is a hidden gem but it is in plain view off Newport Blvd. However, it obscures my other restaurants and stores and you can miss it. Don't miss it.

KJB Pho and Eggrolls - 31. Grilled Pork & Egg Rolls with Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

KJB Pho & Egg Roll in Costa Mesa was honestly an amazing experience. When we first walked in, I'm not gonna lie -- it felt a little questionable because it looked more like a quick "grab-and-go" spot than a place you sit down and eat. But we ordered to-go, and while we waited outside it was actually super cute. We got to people-watch, watch the street traffic, and it ended up being a whole vibe. Now the food? SO good. Like... surprisingly good. Of course we got the egg rolls (because why wouldn't you), and they were . The guy working there also recommended a dish that was basically a mix of meat + noodles -- kind of like pho but without the broth (pho with no soup). AMAZING. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting. Service was also great -- he was genuinely kind, super helpful, and just had good energy. Overall: 10/10. I would 100% recommend it, especially if you're doing takeout and want something that hits every time. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!! My sister and I were greeted by the owner, Jenny, and felt welcomed immediately. The broths are all homemade and so delicious. I ordered the vegetarian pho which came with vegetables and tofu. The spring rolls with the homemade peanut sauce are also fresh and yummy. We got to try Jenny's Vietnamese coffee recipe and it was so good!!! We are so happy that Costa Mesa finally has an incredible Pho place -- this was so needed! read more

Yummy food! I was craving Vietnamese food (and for the first time like ever, I didn't want pho) and I decided to give this place a try! SO GLAD I DID. We also conveniently ordered the food via DoorDash. I was so happy to see a grilled pork plate with vermicelli, an egg roll, herbs/veggies, and nước chấm. It's exactly what I wanted to eat! It was delicious too and so addicting! The meat had a great flavor and the nước chấm was stellar!!! Would totally order again if I wanted something slightly lighter that tastes just as delicious! Loved getting a bite with everything in it. The only thing it was missing was spicy sauce. I wish it came with a side of hot sauce or sambal oelek. I also appreciate that they separated all the ingredients so that the crunchy foods weren't with the wet foods and could retain their crunch. I also tried the Fried Wonton Cheese. It had lots of imitation crab and had a good taste. However, I did want more cream cheese. I also think they may have been fried strangely or the oil of the temperature was off as the top of the wontons were super dark and the part with the filling didn't have much color. Guessing they maybe floated and the part with the filling was out of the oil. Overall, great food! Would love to come back and try the the Banh Xeo. Also, this restaurant used to be Fill's Bakeshop. They kept the wall that says "all items are made by hand in house". Makes me nostalgic :) read more

Really enjoyed our dinner! I'm going to compare everything to Pho Lantern since they are the only pho restaurants in the general area. Food: I generally like both places, Pho Lantern definitely has more options but I like the Pho meat selections better at KJB. Mainly because they had a lot of combos with meatballs which I love and normally have to pay extra for. I prefer the broth more at KJB because it seems lighter and cleaner. We also got egg rolls and they were great--came out hot and delicious! Location: KJB is generally harder to park but I think there's a lot in the back of the strip mall. Restaurant/service: a lot more space and tables in Pho lantern but I would say KJB is much cleaner. Maybe because it's newer. Service is super friendly in both restaurants but I think KJB had exceptionally great service. Will definitely come back! read more

We were in the area and decided to try this highly recommended place. Unfortunately, just as I started to enjoy my pho, I noticed a black hair mixed in with the noodles. It was extremely unappetizing. Although they offered to replace it, I had already lost my appetite. The food overall wasn't that great--I tried a few bites of my husband's fried rice, which was just okay. Definitely not a place I would return to. read more

Welcomed immediately by Hannah who set the tone for a treasured dining experience. This is a tiny establishment that delivers BIG!!! I visited specifically for bành xèo. I appreciated that I could substitute the pork and shrimp with tofu. This one was super thin and crispy. Plentiful of mung beans daikon and tofu. Very heavy on the tumeric. The accompanying mint, lettuce and cucumbers were unbelievably fresh and crisp. I could not resist eating the entire thing! Jenny (owner) was kind enough to visit with me for an extended amount of time and share her story. I'm looking forward to continually supporting Jenny, her family, and the KJB team. read more

Exceptional food. It comes so fresh. We have ordered delivery several times when we can't make it out and it's amazing how delightful the food is. The banh xeo is still a favorite with delicious shrimp, sprouts, and pork and NOT greasy. And amazingly generous spread of picked fresh daily veggies (I asked for extra veggies cuz I was craving them and they left a cute note and TON of greens for me!). We had banh xeo is a few other places and just does not compare. We love their pho as well, very clean flavors. read more

Amazing and legitimate Vietnamese food in Newport/Costa Mesa area! I've eaten here a few times already and every single dish is delicious. Service is always phenomenal - the owner is super accommodating with anything you might need. Some of my fav dishes are the grilled pork vermicelli, banh xeo, and shaken beef. Definitely try these out if it's your first time eating Vietnamese food, you can't go wrong with these. Their banh xeo is the crispiest I've ever had and super addicting! Their portions are ginormous considering the prices. I will definitely be back for my Vietnamese fix! read more
