That would be a good challenge for someone. Try one new entree everyday for a few months because there are so many options! I love the vegan pho. The broth is really tasty!

I'm honestly pretty disappointed with the new location off Harbor Boulevard. Not sure if there's…read morenew management, but something definitely feels off. Right when you sit down, the cleanliness stands out and not in a good way. (lost my appetite.) We ordered the vegetable pho and vegetable fried rice, and both were underwhelming. The portioning of the vegetables just didn't make sense huge, oversized pieces (like broccoli the size of a fist and massive bok choy) that felt unbalanced with the dish. The fried rice was mostly large chunks of vegetables with barely any rice, and overall it lacked flavor. For the price about $75 it just wasn't worth it. Take my word for it or try it yourself, but overall I'd give it around a 3.2 out of 10.

I am so full and happy. The broth was excellent. The noodles chef kiss and the meat was cooked and not over dry for being well done!

I got the garlic noodles with both bulgogi beef and chicken, and wow, this hit the spot. I ordered…read moreit off doordash and it was so yummy. The garlic noodles were super flavorful, perfectly cooked, and had that rich garlicky kick without being overpowering. The bulgogi beef was tender, juicy, and had just the right balance of sweet and savory, while the chicken was cooked really well and added a nice contrast. Together, it was such a satisfying combo. Portions were generous, and you could really taste the quality of garlic in each bite. Definitely one of those meals where you're already thinking about your next visit as you're finishing up. Highly recommend! Only thing I would recommend is to brush your teeth after bc it leaves a garlic smell

Nguyen's Kitchen in Costa Mesa!?! I didn't know it was in multiple spots now. I've only ever been…read moreto the one in Orange, so I was happily surprised when I saw this familiar place. At 10pm, there were a handful of folks inside, waiting for their to-go orders. Since they close at midnight on a Wed, we decided to eat in. I like the industrial vibe they have going on w/ live edge tables, black pipes, & farmhouse lights. I wanna take the big live edge dining table home & plop it right in my dining room! The lady at the counter was nice, taking our order with a smile, then repeating it for accuracy. The garlic chicken breast sandwich did not disappoint. It's just as I remembered it... tasty, moist, & even more delicious w/ the green sauce. The garlic noods w/ bulgogi was a new try for us; we usually get it w/ shrimp. It was yummy, but afterwards I felt like the meat was too salty. The peach & lychee green tea is my fave, while the hubbs enjoyed his Thai tea. Soo good!

Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the drinks except for the Lychee Martini of course . Lol then we ordered the food. We ordered the pork chop, which was phenomenal and the dumplings too, and OMG this was the best dining experience I've ever had. The dumplings were so light and the sauce and broth definitely made this dish amazing! We also had the shaking beef and I have to say Nathan (the chef) really knows how to cook!! Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! We will definitely be back for more.

We came out to Bamboo Bistro to celebrate Father's Day and left feeling utterly disrespected…read more The service was terrible and we felt like we were being discriminated against and shoved into a corner to be ignored. It took us 30 minutes of sitting there to even get a server to take our food order. Understandably, the staff were busy due to the holiday, but we would actively see staff being far more attentive to the tables around us when we never even got water we ordered when we sat down. When we called for staff, it was as if they were actively avoiding us to be more attentive to the "white" tables. It took us calling for them 5 times before they finally had someone actually notice that we hadn't gotten any drinks and hadn't put in an order for food. Even when we finally got a waiter, he scrambled off before we were finished ordering our food. The food was good but no amount of good food is worth the disrespect my family felt. ESPECIALLY on a holiday dinner like this. I wouldn't come back.

I also got the fresh spring rolls, and they were nicely packed with a really tasty peanut sauce. The lychee rose tea was another surprise. It was super refreshing, and I loved that it had real lychee pieces at the bottom to enjoy at the end. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they put care into the food. I came for the Hainan chicken, but now I actually want to come back and try their pho. Definitely worth checking out!

I have tried…read morethis dish at so many restauranr, and I gotta say, Pho Nic set a different standard for this dish in OC area. Deboned chicken, meat is juicy and tender, the dish comes with three different sauce for you to choose. Some place only give a few pieces for deboned chicken but Pho Nic protion is fullfilling. The rice is cooked in chicken broth and ginger so its very flavorful. I also tried their Pho, its pretty decent, 4/5. Vermicilli noodle: 3.7/5. I like the Cha Gio. However the meat seasoning is not my favorite, its still good quality though. Entree dish: recommend: Nic Wonton Overall, a very staple chicken rice place and my grandma approved!

I don't know if they prepackaged their onions and greenery before they toss it in your pick up order but each time it's been inconsistent. the photo shows JUST how little onions/green onions/cilantro they include for TWO bowls of pho???? at that point you shouldve just put in 2 separate bags of garnishes?? on top of that I ordered pho Tai, UNCOOKED STEAK, but they toss it in the soup so that when I open it, it's been fully cooking for the 15-20 min it takes to get home. what is the point of ordering pho Tai if it's just gonna get cooked/chewy before I can eat it. there's also NO OPTION for extra greens or leaving the pho Tai on the side. this is such a disappointing place to order delivery from. just eat in the restaurant for a better experience.
