    Pho
    Claudia D.

    I've been coming here for quite a while. I come with coworkers for lunch now and again. I have not been lately since the re-opening but I am itching to go. We always had great service and no wait even though it was lunch rush. Food was always tasty quick and affordable.

    This was yummy authentic tasting food! Came on a whim last minute into the night. The staff was attentive, maybe even too much, but we did stay too late past closing. So now they were wanting to go home but I eat slow. A little rushed at the end but understandable. For our first time here, the food was quickly served. The meat in the pho was slightly chewy, but nice it finished cooking as it was served, broth was done well & good amount of noodles. loved all the appetizers we got as well. I'll have to come back when not as rushed to see the food and ambiance a bit better.

    Overdue review. I brought a co-worker here to celebrate her birthday. She was in the mood for Vietnamese food so it was nice to visit this place nearby. I think I've only eaten pho noodle soup from here. I decided to go with the vermicelli rice noodles with grilled pork. Our dishes all came out rather quickly which was perfect for us. I was very happy I chose this dish because it ended up being very good and comparable to other restaurants or even better than some places in Westminster or Garden Grove. Staff were accommodating and friendly as usual.

    Delicious pho! They also have veggie pho in veggie broth that's a rare find as well. So many new items on their newly published 12/2025 menu! So glad to have this location close to my parents place. It also looks like they recently renovated. Service is fast and friendly. Hope they stay in business for a long time!

    HI ..

    Delicious food, many to choose from, clean place and great customer service. The location is next to Stater's Brothers by Red Hill.

    Pay with CA$H and you get discount for total bill. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I walked in and was able to sit down immediately - no wait at all. They have a big room next to the front receptionist area so just walk over - more privacy as well. Staff was attentive whenever I need something or have questions. Steak Pho - No ngo gai or green lime but it was still good. Could use more meats though. The broth was quite good and you can taste the Pho flavor. It came out pretty quick. Lots of customer order Pho tonight. Value platter was ok. I wanted to try it but if you like certain Pho or Rice plate, I would just order those. Next time, I'll probably stick to white rice. The flavor rice was not my preferred taste. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio was good as well. Meats were well marinated, perfectly grilled and tender. Sauce was right on - not too salty or too light. Same as the Rice Plate - good. The flavor here defintely has that touch of authentic Vietnamese food and we don't have to drive all the way to Bolsa. Prices were reasonable. Parking - plenty in the front.

    Good service, pretty large restaurant! Nothing fancy inside but good for satisfying a viet food craving without having to go all the way to Little Saigon. My friend got pho and I did a vermicelli noodle. I did feel like maybe it was a little light on meat but in the end, it was enough though! Easy parking and they take credit card too.

    I had been craving pho so I asked a good friend of mine for some recommendations and she said this place was good and close to where I live. I came here on a Tuesday night around 8 not realizing they close at 8:30 but I was promptly seated and served. I enjoyed the food and the service was great.

    Great first time experience! Was told about this place before, so I was glad when friends suggested…read moremeeting here. Very spacious and open, staff here were friendly and helpful. They also seemed really organized, even clearing the table efficiently & professionally! Very tasty dishes - everything had a rich flavor with each bite, without overpowering your taste buds. You could taste the various ingredients distinctly too, which made me feel like everything was very fresh. Unique brunch menu, I didn't expect the creativity in each dish we ordered! I loved the curry crab omelet, lots of flavor, and the seafood ceviche, very refreshing with a light coconut lime dressing. Will definitely be back again when I'm in the Irvine area...looking forward to trying out more items! Another plus for me was how careful they were about not cross-contaminating foods, as I have food allergies. Thanks for that! :)

We had a reservation & waited 10-12 min. to be seated after checking in. Once we sat down, we were greeted & handed menus but then got ignored for 20 min. until a guy server came to our table but he only attended to the couple in the corner of our big table which rest of us girls assumed he'd take all of our orders going around the table but nope.. after the couple ordered & received their drinks which was another 15-20 min. so almost an hour w/o water. I raised my hand looking around to see our server w/ another server standing chatting like they're on break until one of the guys from our table called the server over finally! As a former server, I always give grace but it wasn't super busy. All of our food took around 25-35 min. to come out which wasn't bad. I got garlic shrimp noodles & parts of all my shrimps were burnt so only half my shrimps were edible but garlic noodles were delicious. We were able to cut our cake here no charge & pay separately on their portable tab thing the server told us to make it easier to split. Our table wasn't checked on during dinner until I flagged a server to get water refill when we were almost done w/ our food & bday girl asked to bring her cake out. Overall, food was pretty decent not amazing. This location was unprofessional & needs to work on their customer service. The other location's service is way better!

They even offer tongue which I've never ever seen on a menu before except at my mama's house. I ordered just a regular bowl of bún bò huế. They give you so much meat, it's insane. Moreover, they include broth bones where there are still tiny morsels of meat still attached. As of it wasn't already giving my mama's house, you can also find nước mắm on the tables where you can concoct a whole dipping situation. Ten. What really sold me was #23 - tôm chua đu đủ Đặc biệt. It's so simple - fermented shrimp, pork belly, herbs, and some rice. This is my favorite comfort dish. The combination of papaya/shrimp, pork belly, herbs along with a bite of rice is the most perfect bite. Again, I've never ever seen this dish offered at a restaurant so I was absolutely beside myself. Not only do they serve this dish here, you can buy a jar of the tôm chua to go. Okay, bookmark this place and come tomorrow.

Luckily our friend had put our name down quickly and we were seated upon the rest of our party's arrival within 15 ish minutes. Now that I've tried the food, felt the service, and enjoyed our meal, I can see why it has a line and a high star rating! The service: super friends and accommodating! The place itself is a small/medium size with lots of tables for seating multiple small/medium sizes of parties. We were a party of 5 (4 adults, one baby/toddler with a high chair). I loved how they accommodated my child with their children's menu in addition to providing us with scissors to cut up noodles. Upon stating our allergies, they helped us with food suggestions and limitations. It's honestly the little things that go above and beyond, as well as their friendly service. They weren't overtly checking up on us, and had just the right amount of interaction and help. Food: 3 of us got the beef belly pho and one got the beef rib, my son got a kids mean. Upon receiving our bowls you'd think by looking at the clarity of the broth that it wouldn't be super flavorful, but it absolutely was. It's not overpowering, but the right amount of savory with a hint of sweetness from the added o green onions. Each pho came with the garnishes of basil, lime, and bean sprouts as normal. We did have to ask for small side plates For those who wanted hoisin and sriracha on the side, but not a big deal and quick to get. I'm also a huge fan of the lychee lemonade at vox, which they had here. Not refillable, but still loved it! My son got their chicken nuggets with fries since the pho broth had some sesame oil which he's allergic to, but he loved it. It came in the cutest kid "happy meal" type of box and we used the scissors given to cut the nuggets and a few "washed" noodles. Overall, would love to come again for a great bowl of pho if the wait isn't too long!
