    Large Brisket Pho with half order of egg rolls

    Our favorite late night spot for pho. Right when we enter it is so room-y you could bring a party of 2 or a party of 8! They are so quick when it comes to the service, taking your order right away (we always know what we want). We order two large pho with brisket! A half order (make sure you specify otherwise you get 4) of the egg rolls. Everything comes out in a timely manner, sometimes it's so fast before we get our sauces ready! The broth is always consistent in being flavorful and filling. I know I can always count on Pho 54 for my quick fix. One thing to note is that they charge .25 cents for the to-go containers, but not usually a problem for me as I usually finish everything.

    Combo pho

    We started coming here a couple decades ago, and it was one of our go to pho spots when we lived in the area. I recently stopped by this place with my mother for a quick lunch. It was a Monday afternoon a little after the lunch hour. It was super slow with just a few tables occupied. The staff were attentive and pretty friendly for this type of restaurant. I most definitely appreciate that! Our combination pho noodle soup came out very quickly as anticipated. I recall that the flavor of the broth used to be very rich and had a lot of depth. However, the broth during this visit just was not the same as I remember back in the day. We were both starving and finished all of the contents in our soup, but had no desire to finish the broth. I'm not sure if we will be back.

    Grease puddle that leaked out when we cut through

    Went with my family at lunch on Tuesday. There was only one other customer in there. It was dead and after our experience it's no longer a surprise as to why. We ordered three bowls of pho and some eggrolls for the kids. As we cut into the eggrolls the oil poured out of them into a puddle in the plate and there sat a plate of just sloppy grease filled rolls just swimming in oil. We told her we can't feed this to the kids the oil is just pouring out of it and her response was "well it is fried in oil, we're not returning it" Excuse you? First off I've had plenty of eggrolls at many pho spots. They are not filled and dripping in oil like that, EVER. Second, this place needs to step up their service and quality. Not to mention their broth was extremely bland. My husband used to come here back in the day and he said it has gone down tremendously. This restaurant was not the business. There are million times better pho joints out there that actually care about quality and service. Don't waste your time or money on this place.

    I haven't been to Pho 54 since I was a kid. But this was a second best to Pho 45 which closes at 9pm. At first I was skeptical, because Pho 45 has always been my #1. Food came out quick, even before my water. The broth was light and yummy! The only thing was the meat was a bit chewy compared to 45. I'll def come back to change things up!

    OG spot for a bowl of pho ($14). Easy parking + efficient serving. Broth is flavorful and tastes nostalgic.

    Service was quick and simple. Place is nice and clean and plenty of space. We ordered 2 different pho bowls. The broth had a good flavor. Needed a nice soothing pho and this satisfied the craving enough. Not the best but would come back again. We also ordered the eggrolls and loved how it came with veggies as it was definitely a bonus. Would recommend to others. Also ordered a drink/dessert. Thought it was going to be jelly but it wasn't but it was still good. Definitely has a lot of meet compared to others in the area.

    We were in Little Saigon and decided to try a pho spot we haven't tried before. They had their own shared parking lot with decent amount of parking on the weekend. The restaurant was busy, but still had a few empty tables during lunch time. We ordered a pho tai sach, vermicelli, and a rice plate with pork. Pho: the broth was very flavorful and delicious. I ordered a large to share with my 5 year old, and found portions good. Vermicelli: the egg roll was so flaky and crispy! Portion was good and the pork had a nice lemongrass flavor. Rice plate with pork, shredded pork, and egg loaf: we got a good amount of protein with the rice. The charbroiled beef was well seasoned and not dry. The food came very quickly, and service was friendly and helpful.

    Pho tai
    Duy N.

    We came at around 9:30 p.m. looking for some warm soup on a chilly night. The restaurant was pretty empty, with only about 4-5 tables occupied. I ordered the large pho tai ($14) and an iced tea ($3). The pho satisfied my soup craving but it wasn't anything special. There was plenty of beef though it was on the dry side. Our table ordered two iced teas but they only brought one out. I even mentioned to the staff that they forgot the second one,yet they didn't bring it until the very end of our meal. When I asked for the check, I was told to pay at the counter. That's where the confusion started. There was a small crowd of people waiting for different things some waiting to be seated, some ordering to-go, and others like me waiting to pay. I ended up waiting almost 10 minutes just to check out. Definitely an authentic Vietnamese restaurant experience . Overall it's a decent spot if you want some late-night pho but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. There are much better pho options in Little Saigon.

    Great place to stop by for a quick fix of delicious Pho! The soup was very flavorful and came with lots of meat! The noodles texture was made perfectly! I got the rice dish and it was good, but the Pho was definitely the best!! Very quick service. Clean restaurant. Would recommend this Pho spot!

    My overly saucy stir-fried chicken plate
    Jenny C.

    This is my second visit to Pho-54 (which usually requires an extended lunch), and I had a slightly disappointing experience that might make me reconsider returning. The restaurant had an extension area, a converted outdoor patio to provide additional seatings. The area was lined with live plants (e.g., Jade Plants). The restaurant seems outdated but we're here for the food and not writing for AD-magazine. The owner/staff were nice and welcoming. Unless you speak Vietnamese, there was a light language barrier so pointing to the menu is preferred. We all ordered our usually pho or the vermicelli noodles, then another coworker and I decided to change it up and ordered rice places, instead of our usual and what a regret. The Pork Chop and Stir-fried Chicken rice plate. We asked the staff to add-on a fried egg on each plate. The noodles dishes were all perfect and great! The first shocker was my chicken plate was drenched in sauce and missing a fried egg. The correction was made with fried egg coming on separate plate on the side. It was so bad that I barely finish my meal. The pork chop was good but feedback from my coworker was the small portion does not measure up to the price-point.

    Pho dac biet ($13)
    Brian F.

    Pho 54 is located about a block from Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley and are open until 12am midnight every day. We ordered the pho dac biet ($13) and the shrimp and pork spring rolls ($?). The pho broth was light and didn't have as strong of a flavor as other pho broths in the area. It tasted like it was made with chicken but I wasn't sure about that. I usually judge a place by its broth and while I normally finish all or most of it, this time I didn't care to drink more than I needed to. For the spring rolls, the pork was dry and just okay. Our total including tax was ~$27 so the rolls were about $10-12? Either we got ripped off or these were way overpriced for what they were. I probably should've asked but it also didn't help that we didn't get a receipt but instead just a total amount to pay. The good thing was that the food came out blazing fast in minutes but that was the end of it. They do take card but require a $20 minimum. Personally I think there are better places in the area.

    Their oxtail pho is very flavorful. They're open late as well, great for after the club and bars close.

I've ordered it here at least three times, and it's been consistently outstanding every single visit. The fish is perfectly seasoned, and the aroma from the dill and scallions alone is enough to make your mouth water. I also highly recommend their selection of congee. Each version is made to order with your choice of meats, and the porridge has that silky-smooth, creamy consistency that makes it the ultimate comfort food. Rich, hearty, and incredibly satisfying, it's one of those dishes that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.

Unfortunately, my actual experience did not quite match what I had expected from the reviews and promotions. I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup, and my husband ordered the Roasted Duck Noodle Soup. For me, the broth was very light and lacked flavor. If I'm being completely honest, it tasted quite bland. The beef was also very tough and did not have much seasoning or aroma. It tasted more like plain boiled beef than beef stew. The roasted duck itself was actually pretty good and had decent flavor, but the broth did not complement the duck at all. It almost felt like the duck and the soup belonged to two completely different dishes. It is a little difficult to describe, but the flavors just did not come together. On the positive side, the service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The restaurant is not very large, and the dining area did not feel especially open or spacious. I can imagine that it may feel quite crowded on busy weekends. Parking, however, is very convenient and spacious since the restaurant is located in a shopping center with a supermarket. Overall, the service was good, but unfortunately the food did not live up to my expectations, especially the broth.
