The food is why we return Parking here isn't bad! There's enough space to drive around in peace. Leaving the lot though, I recommend you be safe and aware. At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha. Eventually the person who would be our actual server showed us to our table and was one of those "I'm here to get things done" kinda workers. Everything came out in an efficient manner and we were checked up on when necessary. No complaints here :) As always though, will definitely be coming back read more

Visited Mama Hong's for a pho outing with my daughter, who's a huge fan of the dish. From the moment we sat down, our server Daisy set the tone. She was attentive, warm, and genuinely great with my daughter. The one hiccup came when my daughter wanted to swap a meat option for steamed veggies in her pho. Daisy let us know the kitchen doesn't accommodate menu customizations, so we got creative and ordered everything on the side. It worked out, though it ended up costing about the same as a kids' pho for what amounted to a simple substitution. Outside of that, the experience was excellent, the restaurant was clean, the service was top-notch, and the menu had a solid variety to choose from. The lack of flexibility with customization is the only reason I'm not giving five stars, but I'd still recommend Mama Hong's without hesitation. read more

This place have been on my list for a while since I live in the area as it has great reviews. Unfortunately everything was a miss here. The food was not very authentic. Tried the pho lunch combo with spring rolls for $23... the pho here was flavorless, but the rib meat was good, but for Vietnamese I was hopeful that their pho was at least good but I say this was most disappointing and also got to try their chicken bahn mi, I guess having to try various spots like THH Carrot and Daikon or pickle bahn mi, this doesn't even come close Not sure if we ordered the wrong stuff but food was nonetheless subpar However service was great and staff was very nice read more

We ordered the filet mignon pho for delivery on a cold night and it was the perfect dish to warm up the night! The bag was sealed perfectly and I love the to-go containers! They have a really secure lid to avoid any spillage. We received all the necessary accompaniments; a bag of limes, Thai basil, and bean sprouts, packets of siracha and hoisin, and chopsticks and a soup spoon! Our delivery arrived right on time and the soup was still nice and hot! Excellent service and excellent food! read more

I had the beef stew soup and it was amazing. I'm not a huge fan of spring rolls, but I ordered some for the office when I got my food and they were tasty. Just not my favorite though. Friendly service! read more

I've worked in the area for years and today was only my 2nd visit. And each time I leave, I wonder why I don't come by here more often. We went in for lunch around 2pm and it was empty. The dining area is super cute. There's plenty of outdoor parking. They offer 3 different options for lunch specials. We shared the spring rolls and banh mi which turned out to be the perfect amount of food for both of us. The spring rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce was delicious. We opted for the pork banh mi and it smelled delicious when our waitress Caitlin brought it to the table. Fortunately the taste matched the smell and it was amazing. Then we decided to grab a couple of milk teas with boba to take with us. Caitlin was super friendly and attentive. Thanks for making our lunch great!! Definitely will be going out and hopefully it won't be years in between. read more

Very mid. I left the restaurant thinking, "Why did I pay for this?" -waitress sat me down and waited 10 minutes before offering water or introducing herself yet I could see her chatting with her coworkers -rudely told the party in front of me that they would have to wait longer to be seated despite there clearly being available tables -food was honestly mid -half the chairs were stacked on top of the tables -price wasn't a very good value -I had to ask if I pay at the front or if someone would help me read more

We got the 1. Garlic noodles with beef (10/10) 2. Shaken beef and rice Overall I loved the flavor of the food! The noodles especially were very well flavored and the beef was tender. The pho was not bad either but not amazing. Would come back for the garlic noodles! read more

My go-to spot to spend some quality lunch time with my coworkers. Luis always makes us feel like VIPs when we come here. He always remembers where we like to sit, in the corner of the restaurant and he even remembers our orders when we go often. Food is authentic. I usually order the pho tai / oxtail and vermicelli with egg rolls and pork. Quick, easy and delicious! Ambiance: modern Vietnamese vibes, always clean. For dry foods without soup, they have a robot come and drop off the goods! I believe her name is Bella. :) Plenty of space to sit and a good amount of booths to choose from. read more

Came here for dinner. The place is clean with a lovely interior accentuated with string lights. The staff is friendly and we were seated right away. I got a thai tea to drink and ordered the shaken beef tenderloin with noodles and grill combination with rice for our entrees. Thai Tea- Nice and strong tea base with a creamy finish. It was very refreshing! Shaken Beef Tenderloin with Noodles- The beef pieces were juicy and tender. The noodles had the right amount of chewiness. It had a delicious sweet and garlicky sauce that tied the flavors together. Grill Combination with Rice- This dish comes with your choice of meat (I picked ribeye steak), eggroll, shrimp, and side salad. The meat was tender and perfectly marinated. The eggroll was crispy with a generous amount of filling. Shrimp had a lovely sear and bursting with flavor. Side salad was fresh and the vegetables had a nice crunch. It added a balance to all the savory items. It was a filling dish with a bit of everything in it! Great experience overall! read more

Ordered to-go here and everything was excellent. Food was very tasty, prices were competitive, and ordering was a breeze. Food/Drink- 5 stars shaken beef with garlic noodles- pretty solid. I would order again if I'm craving a heavy meal garlic chicken rice- they did a great job with deep frying the chicken and adding enough fish sauce in the marinade. really flavorful June special pork chop with rice- same as above. The pork chop was perfectly marinated and had a perfect char as well BBQ grill plate- ordered this with ribeye over vermicelli. Their protein and egg rolls are really good Service- 5 stars Easy order service online or over the phone. I ordered over the phone this time since their monthly special wasn't available online Bottom Line Excellent Vietnamese food! Will add to my rotation! read more

We were greeted and sat down upon entering. Since it was our first time here we took a bit longer looking at their menu as we were really hungry and indecisive. The server recommended us some drinks. I ended up going for their seasonal boba drink at the time. They served it in a really cute drinking to go cup. We also ended up getting their spring rolls with the peanut sauce that was amazingly crunchy and great tasting! We also ordered their pork chops that were extremely tender and juicy. Followed along by their garlic beef noodles. The noodles were nicely cooked and the beef was just rightly so tender and delicious! Did I tell ya the little robot came out and brought us out our food too! Definitely a place for a date, or simply a bring your family here. They also do take out!! 10/10 recommend! :) read more

I love coming to Mama Hung! The place is always super clean, and the food is amazing every single time. My go-to order is the spicy garlic chicken with added broccoli and a Pellegrino perfection. And let's talk about the cat robot absolute legend. It delivers food, says goodbye, and even uses a blinker when it turns! I love robots, and if they ever take over, please remember I've always been on your side. Today there were two girls working, both super friendly and helpful. One of them even spoke her mind refreshing and real. Oh, and yes the song playing was "Carolina" perfect vibe. Highly recommend this place. Great people, consistent food, spotless restaurant, and honestly... any spot with a polite robot deserves 5 stars. me and my wife love this place! read more

Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen is my midweek favorite spot to grab great a comforting meal without the crowd. The restaurant is in the same plaza with Starbucks and across the Brickyard plaza. There are plenty of parking spaces. If you're traveling on Tustin, Mama Hong can be missed, since it is hidden from view. The main entrance is on Lincoln. Mama Hong's Vietnamese Restaurant is cozy place with plenty of tables. The menu offers decent selection of fusion Vietnamese food. Recently, the restaurant expanded their drink bar to includes fresh bobas. The garlic noodles are a standout, but I mainly a huge fan of the Tofu Spring Rolls. It is fresh with crispy fried tofu. Service is friendly and efficient, making it a great spot for hanging out with family. We will continue to come back. read more

We had such a great dinner at Mama Hong's in Orange! We ordered the Pho Combo, Grilled Porkchop with rice, Grilled Steak with eggrolls and vermicelli noodles, plus spring rolls and grilled pork rolls--everything was fresh and delicious. Our favorites were definitely the Grilled Steak with eggrolls and vermicelli bowl (Bun Thit Nuong and Cha gio) and the Grilled Porkchop with rice plate (Com with Thit Nuong and egg) . The atmosphere is clean and nicely decorated, and we loved the fun touch of a robot delivering our food. A special shout-out to Amanda, the host/manager, who greeted everyone warmly and checked on tables throughout the evening. She's so personable and made the experience feel extra welcoming. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in Orange for authentic Vietnamese comfort food and top-notch hospitality! read more

Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Orange - Vietnamese Near Me - Orange, California

This review is for a delivery order. I cannot understand the high rating for this place and the only excuse I can come up with is it's an off day where the chef quit or was sick. This is the worst pho I've ever had in my life. I've never had a feeling where I wanted to stop eating pho bc the taste was so bland and bleh. Soup had no aroma, no depth and just tasted like salt and msg. There's not a drop of essence from beef bone in the soup. There's also no flavor of aromatics like spice, cloves, cinnamon, etc. Chicken breast was so dry, typical in pho places but this one is extra bad. Rare beef and beef ball was decent though. The pho noodles were not prepared well. They still had excess starch because they were not blanched properly or lightly coated with oil. Because of this... the soup became cloudy and diluted with starch, which affected the already little non existent flavor. Packaging can be improved as the bowl is too small to hold the noodles, meats, broth and bean sprouts. Fuffing the noodles is impossible because the bowl is too small. When bean sprouts are placed on top, I can't really even grab any noodle without everything just falling off the bowl. Egg rolls were decent, but the fish sauce is questionable and the veggies were a bit wilted/brown (not fresh). The chicken garlic noodle tasted like it was from a Chinese takeout place and the noodle is reminiscent of those cheap noodles you get from it. Also, the batter of the chicken is so bad that it tasted like it's been fried and sitting round for a long time. Chicken was also very dry. My husband who's usually not very picky said this place is whatevers and even said that it's not really garlic noodle, it just has pieces of garlic in it, but I actually didn't even see any.. lol Overall, this place's a huge disappointment. I'd probably not return. The reason for 2 stars and not 1 is because they have a lot of combos and customizable pho options and can even sub veggies for noodles. Sometimes that can be good for keto diets. read more

Loved my visit to Mama Hong's in Orange! The pork chop combo with vermicelli and veggies hit the sweet spot too which is clean, filling, and full of flavor. I also recommend getting the traditional spring rolls with pork sausage as an appetizer.

The vibe is super chill and doesn't feel too hectic. Great spot to check out if you want some good Vietnamese food! read more

Gosh, I love Mama Hong's! I've tried just about every kind of their pho, and it's hard to pick a favorite, as they all have that deep-flavored yet refreshing broth and just-right noodles. Some days just call for a traditional pho with the sliced steak, brisket and tendon; other days one really needs a great pho ga (chicken pho). Then I moved on to trying their plates - I ordered the special pork chop plate on their lunch special, and wow, is that plate loaded! Almost too much food, but all so tasty that you will manage. It includes two pork chops glazed in yummy sauce, an egg roll, rice, a fried egg, and a salad, with their addictive nuoc mam dipping sauce. 1000 percent recommend. If you're looking for great Vietnamese food in Orange, Mama Hong's ftw! read more

Very conflicted leaving 1 star because I hate putting any negativity on businesses. I've dined in here a couple times with my family. First visit, service was extremely slow and didn't even get water refills, wasn't asked if we need anything else or how everything was. The food we had wasn't too bad so we knew we had to give this spot another shot! On 12/19/2025 my family decided to dine in again. We let them know we needed a high chair and when they sat us they didn't bring one over. We kept trying to wave one of the servers down but they wouldn't come to our table. My husband walked toward the bathrooms and grabbed a high chair himself. One of the waitress walked up to him and just watched him. Then walked behind him as he carried it to our table. She the just stood by our table the said with slight attitude "are you guys ready or should I come back?" We hurried and ordered. THIS IS THE CRAZY PART! I wiped down the table and part of the wall next to the high chair and got a huge splinter in my finger. So glad it was me and not my baby! I let the same waitress know and all she said was "well do you want to move the high chair?" and walked away! WOW! AND THEN! I asked another waitress if she's the manager or if the manager is working. Her response "Well, why? What do you need?" I let her know I got a splinter on my finger just by trying to wipe down a part of the wall my child would have reached. She then said, "I don't know what I can do for you." I simply told her that I'm informing her of the incident and it's a good thing it was me rather than my 11 month old. She kind of shrugged and walked away. The food was okay. Not horrible, but the experiences were just so bad we won't be back. read more

I have tried many many pho places around this area and this place is by far the best in my opinion. Everything taste fresh and super flavorful. The pho is full of meat, noodles and a complex broth that can not be beat. They're cut on the meat, onions and cilantro is chef quality. The broth is so sophisticated and complex every time there has never been an off day. Their wings are incredibly flavorful and perfectly crispy! This place hits all the bases. Staff is always the most friendly and the perfect combo of attentive without making you feel rushed or bothered. Definitely my number one pho place after several times. I only wish they opened earlier so I could grab some before work! I also agree Louis is the best server and makes you feel right at home everytime!!!! read more

We drove by Mama Hong's while running errands and decided to stop by on the way back. We weren't sure what to expect, but our expectations were surpassed. The food was outstanding and quick. We didn't realize how hungry we were until it was devoured. They have vegetarian options as well. My GF loved her veggie pho. The broth was clear and full of flavor. Service was friendly, fast and even had a little robot deliver one of our dishes. The ambience was pleasant as well. With nice details and rope strands across the ceiling. I thought it was a creative way to liven up the space. Well done and wellbeing definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Their bahn mi sandwiches make a delicious lunch or snack too when you have half a sandwich leftover! The spring rolls are filled with flavorful meat, veggies and herbs. They usually have a special going and online ordering too. Hint to sign up for their rewards for coupons and offers. The service is fast as they always have my order ready to go when I get there.

Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Orange - Rib pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Orange, California

I was craving Vietnamese food and decided to give Mama Hong's a shot. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles: 3/5 The beef was tender and marinated well. These thick yellow noodles are my favorite for any garlic noodle dish, which swayed me to order it. The noodles were cooked perfectly; however, the whole dish was missing garlic. This was disappointing because garlic is what makes garlic noodles. There was more onion than garlic here. Combination Pho: 2/5 For a Vietnamese restaurant, having a solid pho recipe is essential. I regret to inform you that the broth was very bland. What makes a great bowl of pho is the broth, and this one lacked all the spices pho is known for. Chicken Egg Rolls: 4/5 I ordered the chicken egg rolls as an appetizer, and this was the standout dish. The wrapper was crunchy without being overly oily. They come with fish sauce for dipping and lettuce if you want to make it into a roll. However, it's not a 5/5 because it's a bit pricey for only two rolls. Service: 2/5 I ended up ordering fried chicken egg rolls to-go after my meal since I enjoyed them so much. Our server told us it would take about 15 minutes. After waiting at our table for 30 minutes, we finally asked another server about our order. He told us it had just been sitting at the front counter. How much longer would we have waited if we hadn't asked? Our to-go rolls were cold by the time we realized. Ambiance: 5/5 The restaurant is very clean and has a comforting ambiance. The warm lighting and modern interior are beautiful. Condiments on the tables were also clean. Overall: I wouldn't recommend this restaurant due to the service and lack of flavor in their main dishes. If anything, order the chicken egg rolls--but make sure your order isn't just sitting there. read more
