6. Pho Tai Chin Bo Vien
Oliver P.

I love Pho & been to many Pho places... this might be one of the best ones I've been to! The Pho broth was so good and the Fried Spring Rolls were very delicious too! I ordered the #6 PHỞ TÁI CHÍN BÒ VIÊN Beef Noodle Soup with Beef Meatballs, Brisket and Rare Steak! Yummy! Small clean restaurant but it was packed! Amazing service and clean bathroom! I will definitely remember this place next time I'm in the area and craving Pho! One of the best!

Crispy tofu
Nick R.

Was looking for a place to have Pho and crispy tofu and Pho 21 offered both. The crispy tofu was just ok and basic compared to others I have tried. The shrimp spring roll was heavy on greens and overtook the roll. The Pho was good and the broth was very tasty. They did not skimp on the meat at all. Service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. They seem to do a lot in take out have and loads of regulars.

I ate at Pho 21 for the first time recently and I'm sad I'm only just getting around to it! It was so good -- and that's saying a lot coming from someone who grew up in the OC with a plethora of amazing Vietnamese spots to choose from. My mom ordered the Bánh Xèo and I had the seafood pho... incredible. Warm, hearty, rich broth -- truly so well done. I'll definitely be back! My daughter had a shrimp spring roll and loved it too. This place is a super solid Valley option for Vietnamese food and easily one of my favorites nearby to date!

I Heard about Pho 21 and I am happy that I was able to try it. The pho was Amazing!!! The broth had very good flavor and the chicken was seasoned so well. My top 3 pho places in the valley now. I also ordered the ginger wings that were very tasty and much flavor! I recommend ordering! The service was very good and attentive. Exceptional customer service and provided good options. Really fast service as well. The ambiance is nice inside and clean with cute decor! The menu is very large and so many choices. *Note* they are closed on Tuesdays -Marshay D.

Pho with steak
Dan B.

Great little place, absolutely everything was fantastic here. The quality of the pho with steak what's really good, and I could tell the quality of the meat was excellent. The other two I just reordered were the egg roll and the spring roll, all which were very good. All tasted fresh with plenty of flavor. Definitely a return customer here!

i appreciate the extensive vegan/vegetarian menu here! overall, very solid options, but haven't found my standout dish here yet. the tofu spring rolls are great and a must order! as for the vegan pho with vegetables, i found it a bit bland and wasn't a huge fan. the bun bo hue with imitation beef was more flavorful, but i think they could still add more spice and acidity! parking is in the back, and service is fast and attentive. i'm sure i will keep coming back!

Brought relatives in recently and they have already returned twice! There's something here for everyone in your family....beef, seafood, chicken, duck, fish and even vegetarian and vegan! We have loved everything wr have tried and still havent tried it all. This is a great weekly/bi-weekly destination. Bon appetit!

Stopped in for a non soup plate of Chinese broccoli chicken over rice. I gotta say it was exactly what I was craving. It satisfied the palette and was cooked to a great taste. This place is always busy and the kitchen is delivering the goods.

Can't believe there's nice Vietnamese restaurant in this area! I came to Pho 21 recently and walked away pretty impressed. It's located on a busy street, but you can find street parking on the cross streets. There's also a small parking lot in the alley behind the restaurant. When my friend and I came for dinner on a Sunday evening around 6 pm, it wasn't too crowded. We were seated immediately. The menu has many pages and offers a diverse range of options for Vietnamese food between noodle soups, vermicelli and rice dishes, as well as stir fries. There's also two full pages dedicated to vegan/vegetarian options. We ordered the fried spring rolls ($10) to share and each ordered our own entree. I got the #17 bun rieu with snails ($14.95) and my friend got SV2 vegetarian noodle soup with deep fried tofu ($14.95). We absolutely loved the spring rolls. One order comes with 6 and we killed them. They were perfectly crispy and the filling inside had good flavor. We both enjoyed our noodle soups as well. I was expecting more in my bun rieu like tofu or meatballs, but I think the way they make it here is different from what I'm used to. Still, the broth had really good flavor, and I really liked the snails that came with the soup. My friend enjoyed his vegetarian noodle soup as well. It came chock-full of veggies and tofu. I think we've found our new favorite Vietnamese spot in the valley! Will definitely come back again.

Chicken eggroll & #3 - Pho Tai - Pho with Rare Steak.  Thai Tea and it was all delicious! :). Thank you Tai for great service!

Great Pho! Ordered #3 Pho w rare steak, small and it's still a lot to eat! Half order of chicken egg rolls! Tai suggested my selections and they were delicious! Thank you for your great service Tai

Beef noodle soup with rare beef and tendon only
David G.

Again, again, and again, this place serves great Vietnamese food. The pho is perfection. We also ordered a side dish that was excellent. We really like the people here, we will continue coming back here as often as we can

Alishah K.

My new favorite pho place!! Although located in an odd spot the restaurant is clean and has tons of options for everyone. The service was amazing, the waitress was kind and accommodating and even helped me pack up my coconut to go. We also sat, ordered, and got our food all under 15 minutes and loved every bite of our food.

Tofu spring rolls
Monique N.

The food was amazing! Ordered the spring rolls, filet mignon pho and curry chicken. Loved the peanut sauce served with the spring roll. Will definitely be back.

Ask the Community - Pho 21

Do you have vegan egg rolls?

Yes, we do.

Anyone know if they're open?

Sadly, they are closed. I tried calling several times until I finally drove there and saw the sign on their door saying they were closed until further notice. I wish they'd update their website though. Or even Yelp.

Are any of the soups vegetarian?

Yes. Click on the "Full menu" link. It will take you to Pho 21's website where there is a "Vegetarian and Vegan" section.

When are you guys reopening? I've been checking Yelp for over a week and it still says you're closed for special hours.

They open already except on Tuesdays

I'm obsessed with their…read moredeep-fried chicken marinated in oyster sauce: perfectly crispy, deeply savory, and juicy every single time. Their pho is another reason I keep coming back--the broth is clean and light with zero oiliness, yet still full of flavor without that overpowering umami punch. You can really taste how well it's made. The pickled chili is a hidden gem--bright, spicy, and clearly house-prepared--and the prices are refreshingly affordable for the quality and portions. Don't skip the boba in coconut milk for dessert; it's creamy, refreshing, and the perfect sweet ending. Consistently delicious and always satisfying. Also the service is amazing too! The staff are kind and they remember us every time we come to their restaurant.

They have a parking lot out front , and we were greeted warmly by our friendly server immediately upon walking in. I didn't catch her name, but she's from Da Nang and so welcoming! A more diverse menu than some of our other faves... and I kept seeing that they are famous for their "#53 House Special Deep Fried Cornish Game Hen Marinated in Oyster Sauce" (CƠM GÀ NƯỚNG DẦU HÀO). This golden beauty has a crispy exterior, and is plated on a generous bed of rice. Not "broken", but still delicious! Drizzle some of their nuoc cham over the rice and chicken for a little extra magic! Order first because it needs a new extra minutes to prepare. We also ordered the House Special Imperial Egg Rolls (CHẢ GIÒ). True confessions, I'm usually judgy when I see egg rolls with the smooth wonton style wrappers rather than the bubbly, blistery rice paper wraps.. but these noble egg rolls won me over regardless! The shrimp and pork filling was well seasoned and delicious! I couldn't decide between trying their pho or the Vietnamese udon noodles.. since we were feeling adventurous, I went with the BÁNH CANH TÔM, CUA, GIÒ HEO at our server's recommendation. It was tasty, had decent shrimps and even a real crab claw! The broth was a little mild until I added some of the juice from the fresh lime wedges and that awakened the flavor! The udon noodles were perfectly bouncy and we devoured the bowl! For a little something sweet; we ordered a Che 3 Mau to go. Our thoughtful server offered to pack the crushed ice on the side so the dessert wouldn't get too diluted. It was refreshing and hit the spot! Our decision to come here was a spontaneous pivot, and we're so happy to have found this little gem! We will be back!

Once you enter the restaurant, you'll notice that the inside won't win any beauty contests or score points for ambiance but the food here is delicious. My dad and I ordered a couple of egg rolls, a charbroiled beef with rice, and an extra large pho with rare steak, brisket and well done flank. The serving of pho was a generous amount that was befitting of the extra large portion. The broth was delicious and piping hot and I'm wishing I could have another bowl as I'm writing this review hours after having finished dinner there. The egg roll was delicious! The egg roll came with some mint leaves and that was such a great compliment of flavor when taking each bite of the egg roll. This was the first time a restaurant I've been to included mint leaves as a side to go with the egg roll and now I think I'm going to request that every time I order egg rolls anywhere else. The charbroiled beef with rice was good. It's a solid dish that deserves to be tried at least once and would be a fall back dish if you weren't looking to explore their extensive menu. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and the service here was very good.

I've had delicious Vietnamese crepe before at Jin Thai in Chicago. This isn't it. Greasy, gross, 3 shrimp (laughable), large slices of non cut pork, soggy, massive pile of bean sprouts and onions. Thai milk tea was tasty - boba inside could have been better. Inside was nice and bright. Service was good.

The restaurant itself has a lot of seating, all inside, nothing outdoor at this location. Inside is clean and practical. It does have a beautiful painted mural along the entire wall which I don't believe was there before, but whomever did it, did an excellent job, pretty cool. The staff is super friendly, the food comes out fast and they come around often making sure we had everything we need and keeping drinks full. Places that keep my drink full are places with great service typically. I almost always get one of the Pho soups, but tonight I decided to get their Cornish Game Hen with veggies and rice, a chef's special. It was very, very tasty. The hen was done with a really crisp outside and super tender inside. I added jalapeños and cilantro as well. Excellent choice. My wife got her vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls with fish sauce on the side. This is also an excellent tasting dish and I would recommend either of these as well as the Pho here and pretty much everything here tastes amazing. Unfortunately, I did not get shots of the menu.

Their Banh Mi is a superbly freshly assembled preparation. They take good care of you while you wait for your order to be prepared. Always providing dependable, friendly and customer oriented service.

The place itself is not that big, maybe 8 tables throughout? They looked short staffed because the person cleaning up the tables was also the person taking the orders and bringing the food, while it seemed like only one person was working in the kitchen. Nonetheless, service was good and the wait was worth the quality. They've got some other viet staples like banh beo and banh xeo which I have to try at a later time. We ended up getting the fried calamari as an appetizer and it was surprisingly good like Italian restaurant quality, and of course eggrolls. The eggrolls were fresh and crispy and I appreciated that they actually give you a lot of lettuce and herbs to wrap with them. For the mains we got the bun cha Hanoi and bun thit nuong. I think without the appetizers the portion sizes were a little smaller than I would've hoped for but the taste of both were good.
