Pho Alley in Cypress, California is a modern Vietnamese fusion restaurant that blends traditional flavors with a contemporary dining experience. The atmosphere is clean, bright, and stylish, making it a great spot for casual dinners, family outings, or date nights. I especially love the rich, slow-simmered bone broth and signature dishes like pho ribeye, American Wagyu with bone marrow, and oxtail pho, which are packed with deep, savory flavor. Their Vietnamese crispy crepes with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts add a crunchy, flavorful contrast. For lighter options, the salmon with white rice is simple yet satisfying. Popular drinks include the refreshing mango mama and the rich, creamy Vietnamese egg coffee. The quality, presentation, and overall experience make it well worth the drive. read more

We've been coming here since they opened. I don't know what happened this time... We ordered Pho grilled chicken to go. My son was half way done eating when he noticed this RAW piece. Now we have to vigilantly watch him for the next few days to keep an eye out for possible salmonella/food poisoning. If he becomes ill to the extent of needing medical attention, we will press charges for food negligence. This is unacceptable. You have lost our business for good. read more

This is such an unassuming restaurant that packs a punch. Everything tastes good, and I always waddle out completely stuffed with zero regrets of over ordering. The service is so fast and they're always so nice. As delicious as everything is, it's unthinkable to not order pho because I eat everything in that bowl that comes with generous portions of meat and broth that's suited to my taste palate. My other must order is the bone marrow fried rice that arrives to the table hot and sizzling in its stone bowl and my god my mouth is salivating at the memory as I write this review. It is a go to spot for me whenever I'm in the area, and it's never packed I don't understand why all the social girlies aren't drumming this place up because it definitely deserves more hype. read more

Pho Alley - Pho Brisket, Oxtail and Bone Marrow Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

I'm a big Banh Khot fan, so when I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to try them! Their Banh Khot Tom are Vietnamese mini savory pancakes with shrimp, and served with fresh herbs, lettuce on the side, and a dipping sauce. An order comes with nine of them. I really enjoyed them! Wrapping them in lettuce and herbs really brings a freshness to the dish. Great balance of textures and flavors. I also tried some of the Shaken Beef with Egg. The beef was tender and served with bell peppers. They also give a side of white rice with sunny side up egg. I would get this dish again! We enjoyed the first two dishes so much, we came back to try their pho. My go-to at any pho spot is Pho Ribeye (Tai) because I like the thin slices of meat. The meat and beef broth was good, however, their noodles were a bit hard and clumped together. This was still the case after sitting in the hot broth. I tried some of the House Special Combination with giant bone-in rib, ribeye, and brisket, and the noodles were the same in this dish as well. We were a little disappointed with their pho. I would come back again to see if maybe it was just an off day. Overall, despite the name being Pho Alley, we actually liked the other dishes more! read more

Their Banh Xeo is good! It's hard to find a good one at vietnamese restaurants and not all vietnamese restaurants serve this. Expect a longer wait, there was about 4 parties ahead of us but we ended up waiting for 30mins ish. Staff is nice and friendly , I'd come back to try their other dishes. It was a good dish if you want to have variety in your vietnamese food palette. They are clean and organized, staff informed me when my food was supposed to be out, which is nice. read more

Pho Alley - Banh Xeo - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

A friend not only endorsed Pho Alley, but took me here for lunch. I'm definitely trusting her as she's Vietnamese and she's never steered me wrong before. Her track record is still intact. Over in the plaza on the corner of Ball and Bloomfield, I'd say parking should be easy but I don't know how it is when business in the plaza is in full swing. Might have to walk a bit, unlike how we just pulled up right in front. We got there before the lunch rush so if you have or have had different experiences, guess I was just lucky. Service was pretty good considering other Pho places I've been to. It actually seemed like service as opposed to just taking your order and bringing out your food. The server refilled my water a few times and he checked in twice to see how we were doing. It wasn't very busy as it was pre-lunch rush but it was different. Nice even. And I enjoyed my Oxtail Pho. Enough that I said screw it and picked up the bones to gnaw every bit of meat clean off. The broth was tasty, not too sweet or rich. And the noodles were good too. Didn't order anything else but also glad we didn't. The serving size doesn't look huge but I left pretty full. I don't usually think of Pho when talking about Cypress but I would definitely visit pretty regularly if I lived closer. read more

This place is a hidden GEM. My husband and I ordered the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice along with fried salmon belly since we were extra hungry. Everything was amazing! The costs seemed very reasonable too considering how pricy oxtail can be. For all 3 dishes, we paid $50 total and the portions were very generous. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Very good pho spot never disappointed me I've been a few times. Their brisket pho is really good also the rice options are really flavorful. Sometimes they don't have ingredients for drinks which is kind of annoying but other than that it's good. The service is always nice I just wish they greeted you when you walked in. The interior is really nice but sometimes their tables not being used which is weird when there is a wait. Overall good pho spot but could be perfected more with a few things. read more

Surprisingly haven't had pho in a while, so I was excited to try this spot out. Parking: Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: Once I walked in, I was asked if I was ordering out or dining in. The cash register is towards the back. They have a large space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Love the interior and lights. It accommodates groups of all sizes. Service: There was one female server that assisted me. She was courteous and efficient. Throughput for food was quick; around 8 min after ordering. The drinks took a big longer for whatever reason. All the food came out before the drinks. Foods & drinks: 1. House Special Combination - This is one of their specialty pho that includes bone-in ribs, rib eye, and brisket in beef broth. There was a generous amount of meats. The noodles were cooked well. The broth might've contained way too much MSG because I was constantly drinking water. Other than that, the pho was enjoyable. 2. Banh Hoi Heo Quay - This dish was recommended to me because it's their newest dish. It has pork, noodles, vegetables and nuoc mam. The nuoc mam was delicious. The pork skin was crispppyyy, and they give you a lot of pork! The vegetables were fresh. The noodles were organized into cute rectangles. Since the lettuce was chopped, I took pieces of pork, wrapped it in the noodles, and topped it with vegetables instead. I also poured the nuoc mam over the noodles for more flavor. 3. Cajun Pork Jowl - These were seasoned well, but I also think there was too much MSG. The creamy sauce made it more flavorful. 4. Egg Coffee - Their coffee was strong. The egg cream was thick and sweet. The cream and coffee balanced each other well. 5. Tropical Twister - This smoothie contains strawberry, pineapple, and mango. Absolutely refreshing! Pricing: These prices are the new average prices for Viet food. I don't go out to eat Vietnamese food often because I grew up eating it. When I do though, I'm glad it's as enjoyable as this experience. read more

Incredible service. Wyn was so kind to my toddler and I. She helped us get the brisket pho fast before my hungry kiddo had a melt down. I've been 6 times in the last year and every time the people and atmosphere are kind, clean, and welcoming. My 6yr old loves the pho too. It's got a really nice aesthetic that is warm and inviting. My family is grateful for this restaurant! read more

Pho Alley - Clean and beautiful. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

I've come here off and on for years now. In the beginning it was almost as good as the best places I've eaten at in Little Saigon. Less and less so over time. I ordered Pho Wagyu for the first time recently. What a disappointment! First, there was very little meat compared to the other pho dishes I've gotten here. Even worse, the meat was almost entirely inedible gristle. I ended up tossing it. read more

The food is pretty good. The butter garlic wings are my son's favorite. The lobster spring rolls are very good. The issue is not the food. The issue is with the management or lack there of. Dinner time is the worst. You sit there and are not seated when there are empty tables with dirty dishes and nobody the clean them. Finally got fed up and left. Pho So 9 is a better option from now on. read more

Maybe it's not such a hot take since I grew up with Vietnamese food... But whenever I have it now (sparingly) as an adult, it just makes me feel so satisfied and comforted. Pho Alley in Cypress serves classic Vietnamese dishes that we all know and love including phở (of course), but some extra comforting menu items as well. Such as their insanely gorgeous oxtail *BONE MARROW* stone pot fried rice and House shaken fries--their version of loaded fries. Everything tasted SO DELICIOUS! Big bone pho was solid with lots of meat. Fries were chef's kiss. The bone marrow fried rice is probably the best thing I've eaten so far in 2025. I literally dream of her. And to complement the flavor and savoriness of our meal, we also had traditional Vietnamese drip coffee and egg coffee. Both surprisingly very good too! 10/10 experience, definitely coming back! read more

The place is clean and "hipster"-ish. Servers are friendly. They have hoisin sauce and sriracha on table, chili paste and chili oil available upon request. We ordered Pho with Tofu, Pho Beef Belly and a side of Bone Marrow and Bun with Shrimp. Didn't take pics of all orders since we were super hungry ! Pho broth was flavorful. Bun could've used more protein, bone marrow was simple and savory. read more

Today I took my sister to my go to local pho spot to try out the pho here since it was a cold and cloudy day... perfect pho weather. I ordered the Brisket pho and she ordered the beef belly pho, both came out hot and fresh! My bowl of pho was amazing, flavorful, meat was tender, and broth was delicious! I tried my sister's pho and it was just as delicious as mine. The beef belly was very tender and very tasty. She loved it, said it tasted really good and gives this place a solid 8 out of 10. Service is always great, the waiter is always efficient, helpful, tentative, and friendly! Place is always clean, decor is bright and cheery. Condiments are always stocked and organized. read more

The portions here are generous, and overall, everything we tried was flavorful and enjoyable. I ordered the bánh hỏi heo quay. The pork was crispy with great flavor, though the cuts were a bit on the fatty side and the lettuce seemed slightly past its prime. I still enjoyed it enough to finish most of the dish, but I'd probably try something different next time (3/5). The garlic noodles with prawns were excellent. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the portion of prawns was generous. The green sauce it came with was tangy and refreshing, balancing out the rich garlic taste (5/5) We also tried their new matcha coconut drink (not yet on the menu but advertised outside). It was a large size, priced at $8. The matcha quality seemed high based on its vibrant color, though the coconut water flavor overpowered the matcha. It tasted like it may have been canned, but the drink itself was refreshing, pleasantly sweet, and perfect for the hot day (3.5/5). Service was wonderful. We were greeted warmly when we walked in, our server checked on us often, and we were thanked when leaving (5/5). The interior is very pretty and thoughtfully decorated, though the overall cleanliness could be improved, as some dishes, walls, and seats had visible stains or wear. read more

Pho Alley is serving up some delicious pho bowls in the Cypress area! This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner around 7pm and we were seated right away! Inside, they have a nice aesthetic decor with plants and lanterns along with about 8-10 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a great selection of different appetizers, rice dishes, phos, and drinks. Wifey and I got a spread of the Lemongrass Beef Spring Rolls, Pho Bo Kho (Beef Stew), House Special Combination Pho, and a Watermelon Wink Tea. Everything we had was so flavorful, hearty, and delicious! Overall, this spot is definitely valid. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here! All of the staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Pho Alley is Viet gang approved! read more

I am a big fan of bone marrow. So I went to this place after browsing this place thru Yelp after a long day in a salon nearby. I was so hungry that I would expect everything would taste good for me. This dish is okay not as I expected from the reviews. The rice was toooo fried and hard to chew on. But I would give 4 stars for the service as they're on top of it since the server was attentive and prompt on my needs. Peaceful ambiance since it was not a busy day. I was able to comfortably eat myself on a couch haha Will update my review when I get to try their pho since it's a pho place! read more

Pho Alley - Oxtail and Bone Marrow Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

Where do I start... atmosphere is good but if you look closely, it feels like it needs a face lift. Chairs and some desks seem to be breaking down, as some bowls are too. Service isn't excellent but not bad either. Food was really good first few times I went but it's turned to okay last few times. Once, they gave me a bone without much meat on it. Hmm. I wish they were as good as when they first opened. read more

The beef was so tender it fell off the bone. The broth was hearty and full of flavor . The tables were set with chopsticks, napkins, sauces. Two things to add it took them quite some time to acknowledge everyone who was standing at the door waiting to be seated . Once seated and the order was place there was no other acknowledgement if we needed anything they just brought the check . Overall experience was ok the restaurant was not busy. read more

One star for service. 2-4 star for food. This restaurant has the worst service i have ever encountered in any restaurant. We sat for about 30 min before the guy server came to take our order. Luckily we were busy chatting and not in a hurry or hangry. He never asked if we needed anything, never refilled our empty cups (ice water). We had to repeatedly ask for a to go box and our check. He seems to have an attitude or it's just his personality. Half of the time he forgets or ignores what we ask for. We had to repeatedly ask or flag down another waitress They don't seem to pick up empty dishes or clean up dirty tables. There were at least 6 tables that were not cleaned when customers left (around 7-7:30 on a Friday night). They only cleaned up one table when a new customer arrived. The restaurant looks chaotic with all the dirty dishes on the empty tables.. The mango salad that I ordered was a disappointment. It was not the typical sweet and sour Vietnamese mango salad with steam or boiled shrimp/cuttlefish. It was very sweet and the pan fried shrimp was overcooked and dry. I had to ask for lemon or lime to add to the salad to offset the weird sweet taste. The fried cuttle fish in the salad was nice and crispy but bland. The salmon with garlic noodle was good. Very nice presentation. It was worth taking a pic.., see pic posted. My friend enjoyed the beef banh mi and spring rolls. The restaurant setting is beautiful and spacious but the bad service and all the dirty dishes around killed the ambiance. If service was great I would come back and try the pho and other food. For now, I'll skip and go somewhere else that's more welcoming and enjoyable. read more

Pho Alley - Salmon garlic noodle dish. The salmon is nice and crispy, a little bland but compliments well with the tasty garlic noodle and sauce. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

This place is a hidden gem! I've been here about 4 times now and every time I go it's not crowded at all! Very clean, well-decorated, and charming interior. Not too loud or busy. Service is efficient, professional, and attentive. Thoughts on the food: Shaken beef and garlic noodles - 7.5/10. I've gotten this meal several times and felt it was lacking a bit of depth of flavor this time, but still pretty good and satisfies the garlic noodle craving. Generous portion! Oxtail and bone marrow fried rice - 10/10! Great presentation, generous portion, and a great amount of protein through the egg, bone marrow, and oxtail IN the fried rice! It has little toasted, crispy rice bits and is SOOO flavorful! My friend also got the kumquat tea and it was delicious! Refreshing, a bit tart, and not too sweet. Overall, would DEFINITELY recommend this Asian fusion spot! I think it's a bit slept on and deserves some love! (But secretly hoping it doesn't get TOO crowded LOL) read more
