    It was cold day and also my husband's stomach was upset. So I looked for something gentle for dinner. Here I found one of my favorite meal Pho! This place is face to Main St. and there are street parking and garage parking front and nearby. The restaurant is cozy (little tight between table and bench chair for my husband LOl!) but feels clean. Menu has not only Vietnamese but also Chinese dishes. The service is simple and nice. We ordered combination pho and came shortly. Soup is good flavor, we had to loosen the rice noodles bit but cooked ok. Only one thing, I'd like to say I needed to mini dish to mix up hot sauces inside. I don't like to put hot sauces directly and at home we always use(usually set up on the table) small dish for the hot sauces. But overall, we enjoyed pho at Pho Bulous!!

    Dog friendly pho restaurant! 90 minute free parking in the structure. They have a tiny area outside to sit with your dog. Food taste a lot better than it looks. Pork vermicelli bowl: Pork is good, super tender and fragrant. I wish they gave more meat. The portion size is pretty good. Lomo saltado: The steak was a bit tough but the noodles were so good. Perfect amount of garlic flavor and not too greasy. Service: Was ok ... nothing exciting. Dine in and spend $20+ and get a free Thai tea or soda. Also note: If you sit outside, there is quite a lot of air pollution. People were smoking and cars emit pollution.

    This is a place to come and warm up or fuel up! Grab it to go or dine in. The best part, there's two hours free parking and the structure which can be hard to find at the beach!!!! From the grilled pork spring rolls to the spicy handmade wontons, every bite was packed with flavor. The rare beef & brisket pho was everything I hoped for: cozy, rich, and full of soul. The house garlic noodles were garlicky with a bold Vietnamese twist Also, the lemongrass grilled short ribs? Literally the size of my face! I rounded out the feast with a creamy Thai iced tea and strong Vietnamese coffee, because no meal's complete without something sweet and bold to sip on. Service was quick, helpful and kind.

    Super sweet and friendly small family-owned business across some bars. Gave us a nice chat and even brought out a new item that they were thinking of putting on the menu, for us to try - crispy pork and shrimp wontons with spicy sauce! I should have taken a picture of that, LOL.

    There is only ONE spot in Huntington Beach for unique Vietnamese food and it's Pho Bulous! Really friendly staff and owners; the service is impeccable and the food is very unique and well-prepared. I had the shrimp spring rolls and the House Special Lomo Saltado: a Peruvian fusion dish I have only ever tried here. The portions are generous and there is always food to take home. An excellent local find! Easily accessible to the Huntington Beach Pier just a stone's throw from coffee, bars, and one-of-a-kind stores on Main Street... and they've even got beer on deck! Give this place a try!

    It was a nice meet up with a friend here as service was friendly and quick. Catching up conversations became more fun because of the delicious food. A small restaurant with big to offer.

    LOVE LOVE! Was so excited to see a Pho place on main street. Me and my boyfriend were so hungry after so drinks and Pho never disappoints. The pho sobered us right up ! We ordered Pho Rare Beef, Thai Iced Tea, and popcorn chicken. Service: Self seating. The only item that took long to come out was the popcorn chicken. They make it fresh and it tasted very well. I just wish it would have arrived sooner because we didn't get it till we were all done with our pho and had to sit there for 10 more minutes. It was worth the wait though. Ambiance : I'm not sure if the women there is the owner/manager but she was so nice. She was talking to all the customers and I overheard her say they have been open for 7 months. Im glad to see something new down on main street and I hope for the best of this restaurant!

    Shrimp garlic noodles. Not worth $18 and the long wait.

    Very underwhelming shrimp garlic noodles for $18... no green sauce or any sauce. double matcha was bland too. Should've known when the color was light green.

    CHICKEN PH
    Jason K.

    Decided to go for Pho today in downtown Huntington Beach and this is a new restaurant in town that I thought I'd try. Got in there a little bit before six and it was pretty empty and I decided to go with the chicken pho based on the pictures I had seen for some of the steak ones which looks like I have a little too much fat. My order was taken promptly and served to me in about 10 min. Is there a small little restaurant but you can tell it's well decorated. Overall, I thought the pho was pretty good, I've eaten the same dish at many places, and I had no complaints, the chicken was shredded and good quality, the broth was good and there was ample amount of meat and noodles. If anything, I would hope that they would give you some more sides to put into the fall, but I'm sure that if I requested it they would've

    Baby ready for some pho!

    My girlfriend, toddler and I stumbled upon this eatery after exploring Huntington Beach. We were quick to be greeted, and service was quick to take our orders. I ordered the Pho Combination and she ordered the Vermicelli with grilled beef, and we ordered one Thai tea to share. The gentleman who served us opted to not write anything down. By the time both our dishes came out, the Thai tea still was not at our table. I flagged down our server and he quickly brought it out. I don't imagine it should take longer to prepare than to cook two dishes, so I presume it was forgotten about until I gently reminded. That was the only con. Otherwise, I felt the flavor of the meal was authentic, and the price and portion size were fair for Huntington Beach. I'd come eat here again we were in the area. 4/5 Stars.

    PHO RARE BEEF & BRISKET
    Audrey E.

    My boyfriend and I came here for an early dinner after the Pacific Airshow. We ordered the rare beef and brisket pho. There was only one size and it was a pretty descent size bowl. I'm pretty particular with my Pho because I have my favorite spots that I go to and it's hard to compare to those places but I decided to give this place a try. Location is clean and organized. Pho Bulous was ok, the broth to me lacked the authentic Pho smell and it was good but not great. They used the right Pho noodles which are the thin strands which I like. The meat was ok, portion size was descent. The accompaniments which were your typical bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and jalapeño slices were fresh but for two people I would say it was on the frugal side. We only got one plate of accompaniments for the two pho bowls. Service was good, everyone was nice and helpful.

    Finally!!! Vietnamese food in downtown HB. Offerings and quality are on-par with anything in Little Saigon. Great for those who order the basics or the seasoned Vietnamese cuisine connoisseur.

The ambiance was so sheik and romantic with lots of little fun touches around the intimate space. It literally sparkled. The service we got from Anthony & Jasmine was impeccable and they were genuinely happy to be there and talk with us. The food was fantastic. Starting with the Chicken & shitake dumplings- I was immediately transported to the realms of heaven and it was an flavor journey I won't forget. Followed by the coco pork dish and then the shaky shaky beef. I got so full on everything, I could only manage a bite of the beef dish, but they were all so very good and I'm happy I have some leftovers now. The drinks were great. I was really wanting a tequila cocktail, (which they no longer had on the menu) but Anthony was able to make me the Jade pendant with tequila instead and it was so good. My husband had the Hattori Hanzo and was raving about how good it was. We both had our own Bye Felicia cocktails as a nightcap (take on classic penicillin). We died happy at that point. That was our favorite. Only could have been better with some homemade ginger candy like the menu said. Overall, we had the best possible experience we could have asked for, we will be back, and soon.

Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the drinks except for the Lychee Martini of course . Lol then we ordered the food.

The dumplings were so light and the sauce and broth definitely made this dish amazing! We also had the shaking beef and I have to say Nathan (the chef) really knows how to cook!! Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! We will definitely be back for more.

    I've been going to Pho HP off and on for a few years now…read more It is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in my general area. If i lived closer, i would definitely go more often. It is family owned. It is located in a strip mall in Huntington Beach at the corner of Beach and Main. A very busy intersection. There is parking in front of the restaurant. They have a handicap ramp. The interior design is modern and simplistic. Everyone is always friendly and we Love Amy the owner. Although, we have been missing her over the past couple of visits. When you walk in, you'll get seated right away and the server will bring you a glass bottle of Alkaline water. Nice touch! The menu is simple and on point. They offer all the main traditional Vietnamese dishes. For starters, we ordered the crispy veggie egg rolls which comes with 4 egg rolls, the summer rolls with shrimp which also comes in 4 pieces. As a main course, we got 2 shrimp pho's with vegan broth (yes they brought back the vegan broth) Thank you Amy It is light and goes really well with the shrimp. Make sure to add lots of fresh basil for a flavor boost. And we also got the house garlic prawns which comes with either steam rice or garlic noodles as well as steamed brocoli. Everything is delicious. The Pho noodle soup is a must. It is available with different meats and broths with option of thick or thin rice noodles. In my opinion, It is the best. And i believe that most people go there specifically for their Pho. That is what got me hooked. Overall Pho HP is always a great experience and we will be back again soon. I highly recommend Pho HP.

The salad had a nice balance of tangy, fresh, and savory. I liked how they added burrata to it. Wings were perfectly seasoned, garlicky, and crispy on the outside just how I like it. Their phos were delicious and so comforting. The broth is on the darker side, but it still tasted light and not too fatty. They use the thick noodles which is a plus. The garlic noodles were yummy and garlicky. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked on the medium rare side. Staff were friendly and helpful! Clean and modern space too.
