Got a guava hard seltzer and the appetizer plate and it was good! The drink was delicious and not too strong! The appetizer plate was so worth it! I liked all the food that came with it!

Everything is actually organic, and non gmo. The water is alkaline filtered, the broth doesn't have msg. This is what the world needs more of! Tasty with health benefits ! Couldn't be more happy with the service what a nice guy even though they were very busy he's very t the type of person to energetically lift your spirit just happy, and kind ! Guess he's been there a few years on and off. Back to the broth; bold flavor for the beef. Got a chicken to go for later. Sprint roll with tofu; very small portion for someone like me who wants more lol I could have ordered another, the jimaca is a nice refreshing change with a crunch I would have wanted some fresh mint in there though. The peanut sauce, tastey, not overly bold just enough kick- again I wanted more to slather, but the portion is minimal. The Mo combo very surprised they offered tripe tendon and the stuff most places won't give you. The stuff that boosts your collagen naturally ! Yum! Great option for those who want it. Ambiance is pretty cute decor wise it's very tight seating and I'm sure this place turns into a packed house when it rains, or everyone wants to eat pho ! 1 restroom, ample parking that could get busy, but overall this spot if I lived closer would become my normal spot. Move to north OC! We need you! In other words though; we'll be back!!! Thank you for the excellent quality in serving the best ingredients

During a recent visit to Orange County, I was feeling a little under the weather and knew exactly what would cure me - Pho. And cure me it did! We opted for indoor seating, but there is also a beautiful outdoor patio if you want to dine outside. This location prides itself using only the freshest ingredients, as organic as possible, with no MSG, Non GMO, and providing a beautiful farm to table experience. The menu is vast and you are sure to find something that hits the spot - Egg Rolls, Wings, Noodle Salads, Rice Dishes, Stir-Fried Noodles and of course, Pho. The Hubs got the Beef Pho and absolutely loved it. I opted for the Organic Chicken Pho - Made with Bone Broth - when I say that this was the best Pho broth that I've ever had, that is not an exaggeration. This broth was so flavorful and spiced to perfection, that there was no need to add any additional sauces / condiments. How I eat Pho - Always taste the broth prior to adding any sauces, but always add extra Bean Sprouts, Thai Basil & maybe a few Jalapeño slices. However, there's no wrong way to eat Pho - Just add your toppings and enjoy! What's your favorite way to enjoy Pho?

Nice casual Vietnamese fare right off harbour blvd. We sat in the patio (not heated) as we had our puppy with us. Service was great and fast. Got the combo pho and a chicken and rice and a beef and noodles dish. All were good 4/5. Prices are reasonable.

Such a cozy pho restaurant tucked in a large plaza. We had the combination pho (rare beef, brisket, meatballs), shaken filet mignon rice platter, umami wings, and iced coffee. I highly recommend their pho. It was so rich! It was perfect especially because I was recovering from being sick. They don't add any MSG and use filtered water and I really tasted the quality with their broth. The shaken filet mignon was so saucy and tender! The umami wings were my boyfriend's favorite. It was perfectly balanced and crispy! It wasn't too salty but also packed lots of flavor. There was ample parking and lots of seating options! The staff is so nice and always checked on us. They were really personable and described the menu so well. We have to come back and try their other dishes!

always 10/10 pho I think the prices went up though :/

The pho is always so good!!! 9/10 I haven't been here in a few months but I'm pretty sure the prices went up?? Still good though

The place is a nice little spot that offers healthier alternatives. The brisket pho was flavorful, but it didn't have a lot of meat; it had only 4 pieces. I just wish I had some more because it was good. The chicken pho, however, was over salted. After I added my typical hoisin and sriracha, I thought it would fix it, but I didn't drink or finish my broth because it was just salty. Veggie egg rolls were good, but I do wish they came alongside some lettuce for that crunchy factor and more sauce.

I've never been here before but it was pretty packed for a Tuesday night. It's actually in a very good location with a lot of parking since all the other businesses are closed except for the two restaurants here. I was greeted by the hosts/servers and they said to sit anywhere. I initially chose outside, but then I switched it to inside since it was getting dark. We were ready to order, but servers were in the weeds so we had to flag down the owner/manager? But then the server came down eventually. I definitely understand. The restaurant was pretty busy, but the food took a while to come out. It seemed like other tables were getting their food before us. Food: No ratings since it was all luke warm :( - Pho Dac Biet - the meat was actually really tender. Soup was not bad though, but it wasn't piping hot. - pho tai - meat quality was great with it on the side - Chicken Fried Rice - again flavor was pretty good, but it was warm. - lemon grass chicken - It was nice with all of the veggies. My recommendations for improvements: - I definitely understand where you're coming from when trying to get the entire ticket out at once but I think one thing the servers can do is ask if they want it sent out right as it is done or all together - Would also recommend for servers to ask "If they have been there before" if not go through the menu. Maybe I shall try again on my own if I just want a quick bowl of Pho.

Aside from their pho and rather expensive menu, this place could deserve to have a 4.5-5 star review. They do have tasty appetizers such as their umami chicken wings, shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. They also serve cocktails, and I'm sure they're pretty good, but it's too bad I kicked the habit. I'm sure at night this place screams ambience. Super friendly staff and awesome customer service! What more could you ask for. However, I was craving some good pho that day and was baited by their high star reviews on their pho. Their pho....sigh....this is not pho.... In comparison, their pho is what PF Chang's to Chinese food. Overpriced and zero authenticity. Just NOT GOOD. I ordered a large pho (they were out of briskets that day too) for $21 + a $5 beef rib. $26 pho and I couldn't even finish it. The soup was lukewarm and tasted way too beefy. The ratio soup to noodle was way off. I had more noodle than soup! Half way into bowl, I was done. Honestly, I don't want to be mean but this was by far the worst pho I've ever had. I left extremely dissatisfied. Anyway, don't eat their pho if you REALLY love pho. This place is not IT for pho.

Good food, amazing service, and a cozy place to stop by for some pho. The portion size is really good, easily enough for 1 person with a regular and a the large would easily feed someone with a big appetite. Price wise is not terrible (Regular special being around $17, total for 2 pho and a tea was like $43.70), I've definitely seen cheaper prices but for the quality I believe its a fair pricing. I went in on a thursday afternoon around like 5pm on a rainy day and got seated immediately. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The pho itself was really good, had a good portion that easily satisfied 1 person (I personally have a larger appetite and this was like the perfect amount). The broth was very refreshing but still light, the meat ratio was actually very good, and the noodles were honestly prepared and served to eat right on the spot. A solid 8.5/10 for food (I would come here if I have pho cravings and I would also bring friends).

Shannon Z.

Delicious pho here! Tasted authentic and they are generous with their meet and noodles. The entire space feels extremely clean (they have a hand sanitizer at every single table, workers constantly washing their hands at the kitchen area, no trash anywhere). The service was really good too our waiter checked in on us multiple times during our meal. Food came out quickly as well. We came on a weekday night and there was no wait but business was good.

Kathryn L.

Delicious food and good vibe. Waitstaff is friendly and attentive. Veggie pho was full of tasty veggies and the summer rolls were very good!

Kaloni S.

Tried this place for the first time and wasn't impressed. My boyfriend and I stay walking distance away and were hoping we'd love it, but unfortunately it wasn't our favorite. The restaurant is fairly small and very hot inside, there are a few seats outside with heaters, but the one we sat at first didn't work. Service was OK, but slow and two different people forgot to bring our silverware and sauces to the table outside. Plenty of parking in the lot. Most likely won't be back. Food review: Beef pho: (4/5) The broth was just OK, it had a weird aftertaste. We got the large and it was a huge portion, but good bang for your buck. They don't have onions and other toppings like other pho places. Popcorn chicken: (1/5) This was honestly embarrassing that they brought this to the table. It was nothing but batter. We had maybe 1 piece of chicken on the plate. Never ordering this.

This place was awesome. Delicious food, high quality, and wonderful service. We ordered the pho ga, the veggie stir fry and veggie egg rolls. They were all so good, you can tell they put care and hard work into the food they make. They answered any question we had with a professional attitude and patience. The veggie egg rolls are a MUST. Please try them. I love that they use free range chicken, and no gmo ingredients. read more

My BF and I saw this pho place open up in the same strip mall as our favorite neighborhood Ramen restaurant Aoki. One day they were closed, so we decided to try the Pho at Mo pho mi. I was delighted to learn that their chicken pho is organic and NO MSG!!! This is the ONLY place where I will go for Pho now. The shrimp rolls are excellent! I also like to get the organic poached chicken.My BF prefers the beef pho, and his favorite is their pork dish! Super authentic taste! read more

My husband and I have lived right down the street for the last three years and recently stumbled upon this gem - my only regret is that I didn't know about this restaurant sooner! Every time we come to Mo Pho, we are satisfied. My go to is always the rare beef pho and a pot of fresh hot tea. You can tell that they cook with only fresh and natural ingredients; I have never left feeling bloated - it definitely makes a difference that they don't cook with MSG! The ambience in this restaurant is very welcoming and the decor is so fun and adorable! I can tell the owner put her heart and soul into her restaurant. I've always been greeted as soon as I walk in, and the servers are always very attentive and check in on you frequently. I haven't left a Yelp review in awhile, but the service I had the other evening reminded me how much I love this little restaurant! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's a Vietnamese food gem. DELICIOUS CLEAN + GREAT SERVICE. When I first visited this place, I arrived almost at closing when the kitchen was at last call. That wasn't a problem for them, their service was noticeably hospitable and family-like. Also, they took great precautions with COVID-19. All types of groups were there with us under the fairy lit patio: families, couples, friend groups, etc. (good for all types of parties). We ordered the pho, spring rolls, fried chicken wings, mojitos, fruit tea, shaking beef and rice, and grilled pork and rice. Pho and spring rolls were my fav but all good! YUM..organic quality clean ingredients, good classic flavors with a slight modern twist, and all served by an nice attentive waitress. I will definitely be bringing my friends here asap for tea and a snack, drinks n (organic Jidori) wings, or just a solid meal. Highly recommend! Ps. The cocktails are all $6 and yummy! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. My friend and I went to Mo Pho Mi early last week. Unfortunately, her dog was in the ER pet clinic that was in the same shopping center. So we were looking for something to eat while we waited. I am so happy we chose this restaurant. First off, the ambience in the outdoor seating area was amazing. They had a tented area full of garden boxes and calming music all around. I couldn't help feel like I was in Disneyland. The food was SO good. It was a very hot day, so I couldn't bring myself to order one of the delicious looking pho options. But I got the lemon grass chicken rice dish and my friend ordered stir fried egg noodles. Both of our meals were excellent. I can't wait to try the pho next time. And of course I cannot forget our server KC. He was the kindest person. We had such long conversations with him and he made us feel so welcome even when we were going through such a stressful situation with the poor pup! To top it off, KC puts such pride into his family's business. He hand draws the menu signs and he really takes the time to make sure the business is running well. During our meal his aunt, who owns the restaurant, even came out and talked with us for a bit. The ambience, the food, the service....this place deserves more than five stars. read more

I stumbled upon this place while we were in the plaza for my son's music class, and was delighted with our dining experience. First, the place is so clean and and has nice minimalist decor. Second, our server was friendly and attentive. And finally--and the biggest deal-sealer for me--is that they use NO MSG!

Uhhhh Imma have to do it. If you're Vietnamese and accustom to Vietnamese food, you're most likely not gonna like this place. Mo Pho Mi is a modern Vietnamese restaurant that I feel is probably meant for hipsters or appeal to a western palate. The menu is interesting and the way it's design is interesting. A lot of option but focused on a few items. The restaurant's design is nice and staff were friendly which makes me feel conflicted giving them 2 stars. But the pho really wasn't stellar. In my week, I ate pho every single day, multiple times a day and low key this place is the worst. The broth was bland I had to drop all the condiments at my disposal to make it satisfactory. Which at that point I'm just there for the condiments. The pho here is also among the most expensive I have eaten. $9.5 for a reg size? There are places that cost like less than $8 for a large. $4.5 for cà phê sa đá (Vietnamese Ice Coffee)?!? And I basically inhaled it and it was gone. Very hipster, very level 69 con artist. There are places that charges that much for their ice coffee but you also get a show if you know what I'm saying. Btw those places are most often frequented by elderly gentlemen... I would maybe take another look at the broth. I also got the 3 item special but it was very skimpy on the onions and meat in the dish. It's a soft opening, but service was slow and I have never waited so long for pho. Especially when there were less than 5 people in the restaurant. I left pretty disappointed in this place. If the food was good enough to match the price that is charged, I wouldn't complain but in OC there are too many competitions that serve better food, have better service, and the price point for the dishes are much lower. I posted a pic on snap and got roasted saying I got scammed T.T They right tho. They should also fix that door btw. Why it keeps opening and closing by itself? Very lucky the staff were nice or else they would definitely get that 1 star. read more

I am soooo glad we found this gem! It's located in a bizarre little strip mall, but it is our new favorite. I was greeted by the owner, Mo, and we had a lovely little chat while I waited for my to-go order. I had a very very authentic Vietnamese coffee, and being half Vietamese, I am extremely picky about my coffee. It is traditionally made with only coffee or espresso and condensed milk, which most places cheat on. Hers is the real deal. So delicious! My hubby had the dac biet (special pho), and I had the bun cha gio chay (vegetarian egg rolls with noodles). It was so good and so clean-tasting. Tasted like home to me. Her ingredients are high-quality, mostly organic, no MSG. I can't wait to taste one of my other favorite dishes, mi xao (fried noodles with veggies and sauce). Highly highly recommend! read more

So stoked to have a new pho spot in the neighborhood! We ordered the lemongrass chicken and the large pho with rare steak and brisket. Also they hooked it up with a shrimp egg roll and a drink for their soft opening. Everything was on point! The broth is so sumptuous I could swim in it, and the meat quality is top of the line. The lemongrass chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the egg rolls were perfectly crispy. The Thai tea and iced latte hit the spot, and balanced out the sodium high with a little caffeine to keep the night going. I cant wait to come back and try more items on their menu :) read more

History

Established in 2019.

Mo is the daughter of immigrant parents from Vietnam. In 1981, her parents opened the first pho restaurant in Portland, Oregon. At the age of 11, she started cooking in the restaurant with her family. From there, she began expanding her cooking abilities by bringing healthy gourmet dishes to her kids. Aside from the typical American mom, she created flavors and dishes through her tastebuds rather than recipe books. From one new dish to the next, her family and friends encouraged her to take her abilities to the next level and open Mo Pho Mi.

I see they have GF next to some of their items. Is the pho gluten free as well?

Yes, our pho is entirely Gluten Free. (Except for Bo Vein/Meatball) Any items with a GF next to it means we have a gluten-free option available for that dish. Please inform our service staff if you have a Gluten intolerance!

Do they have a gluten free menu?

Yes! I take my sister here all the time who has celiac disease. The only gluten products they use are egg roll wrappers and soy sauce. But they can replace the soy sauce in any dish with gluten free Tamari! Taste identical from what I've tried off… Read more

QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine

Another Kei Concepts restaurant that doesn't miss. This time it's a modern twist on Chinese food…read more The menu has your traditional classic dishes like dim sum, roasted duck, braised pork belly, stir fried noodles, etc. but also many other dishes with an innovative nod but still rooted to the classics. The interior of Qua is bright, grand and stunning. Perfect for any occasion; from a casual family outing, to a nice dinner date, or celebration. I highly recommend booking a reservation to avoid a wait especially at peak meal times. Everything I've tried is beyond delicious. The crab roe with wheat noodles has a deep rich savory seafood flavor. My only complaint is the wheat noodles get stuck together (even when I mix the sauce in right away) since the noodles and sauce are served separate. The chili surf clams are my absolute favorite dish; the sauce that it's served with is sweet, salty, slightly acidic and bright. Such a refreshing appetizer. There was an oyster pancake that is now not on the menu that I loved as well- the oysters were tender but the pancake was not only crispy but slightly gooey from what I am guessing is rice flour in the batter. I really hope they bring it back one day! The egg tart trio is the perfect dessert to end your meal with. 3 egg tarts if more than enough to split among 4 people since it's so rich and creamy on the inside and with a super crispy and flakey (but not greasy) crust on the outside. You can really taste the different flavors of each one.

The interior is very open, high ceilings, modern. They have a large bar in the center of the restaurant which adds to the clean, contemporary vibe. We ordered a bunch of food, don't have pictures of everything, but a few standouts. First, I wasn't expecting much of the stir-fried cabbage with garlic, but it was surprisingly simple yet delicious. The cabbage had a much deeper flavor than what I expected or have tried with other stir-fried cabbage. I also really enjoyed the garlic prawns with glass noodles, but it was wayyy too much cilantro, my whole family thought so. We got an order of the mala fries, which I wasn't expecting to be so delicious! It was umami, savory, sweet, spicy - a great beer snack. Everything else was good in general, pretty consistent in flavor and presentation. My only complaint was that the food all came out way too fast and out of order. Some hot dishes/entrees came out before the cold marinated cucumber and other appetizers. It wasn't paced very well, so some of the food got cold as we ate. Other than that, service was good and they were helpful in answering all of our questions. We ordered 9 total dishes for 5 of us, and it was plenty of food. I'd like to come back here for their HH and try some more dishes.

The space is small, so I definitely recommend using Resy to make a reservation. After checking in with the host at Arc, you will be guided to the rear of the restaurant to small round room with a mirrored door and a beautiful chandelier overhead. Upon entering, you will walk through another small hallway with green light and wood framed mirrors on the wall. At this point, you have now entered the Guild Club. The centerpiece is an attractive granite topped bar that seats nine people. The back of the bar features a beautiful wood cabinet with intricate carvings. There is a small area across from the bar with two round tables, each with two high back cushy chairs. This area is more intimate, but the tables are small if you plan to eat and drink a lot. The walls, floor, and ceilings are dark with lots of woodwork, giving a warm cozy feel. There are a nice assortment of interesting lighting fixtures, and paintings on the walls. A few small ceiling areas are painted dark green and display gold astrological signs. At the end of the bar, there is a spiral staircase leading to an upstairs space that I believe is for display only, but it adds a touch of mystique. The Guild has its own small menu of exclusive cocktails and bites, but you can also order anything from the Arc menu. We started off with an order of shishito peppers which were probably some of the best we have ever had. The portion size is very generous, and they have some herbs, almond crumble, and squeezed lemon on top. Be warned that the cast iron skillets that a lot of their food is served in are extremely hot. For cocktails, I started with the Number One. It was a good balanced cocktail with noticeable cucumber flavor and some bitterness on the finish from the Pimms. She started with Einhorn Is Finkle. It had a great light sweetness with some grapefruit flavor and light bubbles. For my entrée, I had the crispy duck. This is actually a big ball of duck meat with a fried coating on the outside. The duck was very flavorful and nothing about the duck or fried shell was greasy or oily. The grated cheese paired well and the arugula added a nice freshness. This was a great dish that I would definitely order again. She ordered the chile relleno. Obviously, Arc is not a Mexican restaurant but this was surprisingly probably the best chile relleno we have ever had. It had a great pumpkin seed crust with a very flavorful succotash inside. The chili itself was huge and filled up the whole skillet. We would absolutely order this again. I was talking with our bartender JT about my recent new appreciation for mezcal if it's toned down and that none of the mezcal drinks on either cocktail menu really caught my eye. He suggested a Last Word with mezcal replacing the gin. I enjoyed it, but the mezcal was a little too prominent for my taste. For her second cocktail, she ordered The Girlfriend which has a humorous description of "changes daily". The current girlfriend when we were there was a twist on a blackberry margarita. This was surprisingly the best drink of the night, and was definitely the most complex margarita we have ever had. It had a light blackberry flavor, and I believe some of the other ingredients that JT mentioned were grapefruit, lime, cocoa, and cinnamon bitters. For dessert, we ordered the German chocolate cake. It was a huge slice of moist cake and was served with a large dollop of fresh cream. The cake wasn't overly sweet which was nice. We shared one last drink, the Liquid Courage as it sounded like a nice dessert cocktail. On my first sip, I tasted coffee which was unexpected. I asked about it, and apparently the drink menu does not list the Nola coffee liqueur that is in this drink. I'm not a fan of coffee, but at least this cocktail had more of a mocha flavor than a strong coffee flavor. I probably wouldn't have ordered it if the ingredient list was accurate, but I think coffee or mocha lovers would enjoy it more. Our bartender JT was pretty much running everything by himself with only a little outside help, and he was doing a great job. He was also very friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with him. The prices are a little on the high side, but the drinks were good, and the food was excellent with generous portion sizes. Our reservation was for 6:00pm and I would recommend visiting a little closer to sunset. There are some outside windows on the far wall and even though there are drapes, a little light still comes through. And if the door to the outside patio is opened, a lot of light comes in if the sun is up. The Guild Club is a great little speakeasy that I only recently discovered, and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

It's great so that each patron/party has a comfortable, undisturbed experience. It's not a crowded, loud, or messy type of bar. Love that they initially provide us with water before we order. Old Fashioned was fragrant and smooth. Orange peel scent was pleasantly present throughout the drink - they used a spray instead of zest - impressive!

My work colleagues and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mo Pho Mi in Costa Mesa and were blown away by the experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with traditional Vietnamese decorations adorning the walls. The service was impeccable - the staff were attentive and friendly, and they made sure our glasses were always filled. But the real star of the show was the pho itself. The broth was rich and flavorful, with the perfect balance of spices. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the meats were tender and delicious. I also appreciated the variety of toppings that were offered, which allowed us to customize our bowls to our liking. The spring rolls were also a hit, with a crispy exterior and a flavorful filling. Overall, Mo Pho Mi exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be returning for more delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend this restaurant for a flavorful and memorable dining experience! read more
