    Very tasty pho on Main Street! We will be back ASAP. The house cold sake was great as well.

    Menu front

    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!!

    This was probably the best pho I've ever tasted. The broth was so rich and flavorful, it was DELICIOUS. I'm normally not a beef broth girly, more a chicken broth girly, but this beef broth was amazing. We got the shrimp and chicken pho, they were both good. The bowls were huge, a good size for the price.

    Pho Bulous really lived up to its name! Our old spot closed down to our dismay, so I checked the Yelp for a new spot near me. The owner was super nice and greeted us when we walked in. We ordered the vegetarian pho and one order was very generous with tons of veggies and the broth is delicious. We will definitely be back.

    HOUSE SPECIAL LOMO SALTADO

    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.

    In search of a Vegetarian friendly Pho Restaurant? Check out Pho Bulous. The area is quiet for all of the peaceful people. You are greeted inside, in the corner of the room is a TV plays the FIFA World Cup. Staff were calm, not as much talk--which is perfect for an introvert. Good place to chill and eat. The location has quite a decent amount of space. Not too spacious but also not overly claustrophobic. Love the arrangements of chili sauce and Sriracha across the table. The take out boxes are secure and durable. The restaurant decorations are quite simple. Inside feels like a very asian restaurant vibe. Temperature is cool. My siblings had mixed reactions regarding the food. On one end, both my brother and mom loved the food and said it was a 10 out of 10. But me and my sister on the otherhand, say that the Banh Mi wasn't as enticing as we thought it was. However, the place is quite clean, so points for cleanliness. While the food didn't meet out expectations, I am willing to believe that there is more to the restaurant, and therefore, I will give it another chance. I think four is an appropriate rating because a majority of my reactions to the food depend mostly through personal ranking than objective, and the family loved it. I am not a fan of soft meat, which the banh mi had plenty of. The popcorn chicken we ordered was very crispy around the exterior, which is good--But the meat inside didn't taste striking. So thank you for the wonderful experiance, Pho Bulous.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
