Amazing pho! I love that they have two flavors of soup to choose from. I also love their presentation. The restaurant is super clean, the service was good, and the tiered bowl for presenting the pho was a chefs kiss! The pho itself was great. We're from the bay area and it definitely beats most of the pho places there. Will definitely come back! This place is in our pho hall of fame for sure! read more

Pho Flavor - Northern style with flat noodles and rare steak and brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Great place for Pho! I love their broth. They have the northern or southern style pho, if that's something that interests you. Northern - thicker noodles with rich broth. Southern - thin noodles with lighter broth. Their menu does have a description of both and you can mix and match to your liking. Another thing I noticed is that they now have low-carb noodles. I tried them last time, different texture, but satisfied my desire for pho and great option for folks eating low-carb. But I've done them all, the northern, southern style pho and low-carb and have enjoyed them all. One of my favorite Pho places. Service is good- some days have been great and others they're busy and just hurrying around, so understandable. We always enjoy coming! read more

Pho Flavor - Low carb Keto Pho with Shirataki (Konjac) Noodles, Grass-fed Eye-round, Brisket (Low Carb) / Phở Keto Tái Chín (Grass-fed) - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Pho Flavor The pho here is decent, but honestly nothing too special compared to other pho spots in the area. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and not too big, which makes it comfortable to dine in. However, I didn't find the overall service very friendly. It felt a bit distant and not very welcoming, and as a customer I personally always hope for a warmer and more pleasant experience. The only person who stood out was the table service staff member, who was very kind and attentive. The parking is a big plus , it's spacious and very easy to find a spot, which makes visiting convenient. Overall, an okay pho spot, but service and atmosphere could be improved. read more

Usually great experience but today both servers were not friendly. Pretty sad. Likely won't come back with these types of experience read more

This location is always super friendly , has fast food preparation, and overall great customer service. I went with the Northern style It is packed with flavor and hits the spot every time. If you are looking for Pho, look no further than Pho Flavor. You will not be disappointed. The ambiance is chic and simple ! Great small business vibe , where they aim to please. Super clean with a fair amount of indoor seating. read more

We came on a Saturday evening, not too busy and we were able to get a parking space right away. Took our order right away, got pur pho a few minutes after ordering. Our appetizer & rest of order came a little longer. The restaurant has a modern look, wish they played background music because we can hear everyone's conversation. There were only 2 waiters, it takes awhile to get their attention. There 2 different broth style, Southern (lighter broth) & Northern (heavier & rich broth) Both are flavorful. read more

Recommended by a friend- what a find!! a small restaurant with a cute homestyle vibe. Super friendly and helpful. Love the fact they give you a small vase with basil to propagate and grow at home. I can't wait to put it in my garden! The food was fantastic. The presentation was what you would find in a fancy restaurant. The stirfry was beautiful and delicious. The egg rolls and pho were equally delicious! As good as any of the best Vietnamese restaurants and the price is right! We will definitely be back - so excited to have found this little restaurant!! Just off of the 405 and Brookhurst near Mile Square Park. read more

Food here isn't bad but the service quality is much better at their garden grove location. I had a voucher and I showed it to them but they still initially charged me the full price even when I showed it to them and they nodded in acknowledgement. Try the flying noodle! But also, using plastic utensil to do the flying noodle trick is dangerous as my fork broke so I had to be cautious of broken plastic in my food. read more

For the prices they have, I wasn't sure what to expect. Even if they priced their food 30 dollars for a bowl of pho, I would be okay with it. But for less than 16 dollars??? You get phenomenal service, you get the kindest staff, you get delicious jaw dropping pho, with beautiful presentation. This whole place is perfect and no criticism is welcome. I love how intentional they are, you can genuinely tell they love what they do. The place was amazingly clean and even the bathroom was perfect. It has a bidet!! What's not to love??? I'd come across state lines for this place, new go to forever!! read more

The most notable thing about Pho Flavor is that they serve both Northern and Southern styles of pho and the special stacked servingware for the pho. Quite honestly, we cannot differentiate between the two styles at all. They taste identical. The restaurant is extremely generous with the beef in the pho, to the point where we leave some behind because it is too much. The egg rolls are very good as well, with a pork and shrimp mixture. They are really tiny, like lumpia. The pickled daikon and carrot that accompany the egg rolls are very tasty, but I do miss the lettuce and herb wraps. They also serve the herbs in a little vase that you can take home and "adopt" the herbs. read more

Pho Flavor - Pho Tai, Northern Style, flat noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Pho Flavor is a reliable spot for comforting pho, and I love that they offer both Northern and Southern styles. The dining room is simple and clean, and service moves quickly even when they're busy like many pho restaurants. They serve the pho in really eye-catching, R2D2-like bowls that make each bowl look extra inviting. The Northern-style pho here stays true to its roots with the extra rich and bold taste. The Southern-style is more savory and slightly sweeter, served with the full platter of herbs, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and sauces so you can customize the flavor. Broth quality is the star, making every bowl delicious and body warming. The brisket and rare steak are solid picks, and the spring rolls are fresh. Prices are reasonable and parking in the plaza is convenient. If you want to compare regional styles or just want reliable, tasty pho in OC, Pho Flavor is a top choice in the area. read more

Very fancy pho spot. First time being asked if I wanted the Northern Pho or the Southern Pho? I didn't even know that was a thing lol. Then they asked me what type of noodles I wanted. Okay so I eat pho once a week, and go to different restaurants to try their Pho. This place really took me out of the ordinary. Even the special pho dish was fancy. I really enjoyed the experience. read more

Pho Flavor - Eggrose - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Decor is lighter colors, gray, white, some black, given the online menu you wouldn't think Pho Flavor is as "elegant" or "upscale" as it seems. Didn't think it was a full service sit down restaurant but here we are. The plating style is also "extravagant" with the tripe stack of sauces, herbs, and soup. Interesting and unique. Ordered pho #4 Northern style. Broth was richer and almost creamier than the clear Southern style. Noodles are definitely thicker but dare I say mushier than Southern style; not mushy but much softer. Lastly, the green onions are shredded long and also chopped up. The broth had a more pronounced seasoning; cardamom, coriander, star anise, and others you typically associate with pho. The meatballs were a little dense but they were smaller so easy to eat. The brisket was sliced thin and tender. These flavors were enhanced by the addition of liquid aminos, sriracha, hoisin, mint, jalapeno, and Vietnamese basil in particular. The banh quay was fried dough so I dunked them in the broth. They were tender and airy. Didn't really have flavor except for when I dunked them. Service was warm, welcoming, friendly, and conversational. Would definitely return a million times over if I'm ever in Fountain Valley again. read more

I wouldn't recommend ): I wanted to like this place because they seem seed oil conscious but the pho was lacking. Obviously there are many other good pho places near by so I wouldn't come here again. I appreciate the service though and would love for them to make some changes. read more

Definitely 5 stars for ambience. The presentation of the pho was phenomenal. Loved the creative stacked bowls of pho with separate compartments for the sauces and toppings. Cute little herbs centerpieces at each table. Great way to combine utility with decor. Lots of pho options to try and appreciate the distinction between northern and southern styles. I opted for the Northern style but will try South next time. Quick friendly service. read more

Came a random day since my eye doctor was near here and I was hungry and was searching for food and saw this little gem. Will say it was pretty empty when I went and was quite spacious with seating and very clean and quiet. Again during this time I was the only guest in the restaurant. So idk how it is during busy times. Didn't know there was 2 ways to do pho!! Southern and northern style. Something new I learned. I ended up getting the northern style was which super rich and saltier so it was as explained. I wanna try southern style next to see the difference? Also the way the pho came out was super nice. Like I wanna buy that dish hahahaha. Kinda sad that they don't have the sauce on the tables and have it mixed next to each other as they bring it out but is oki. read more

Pho Flavor - Pho Chin Northern Style with small noodles $12.99 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

One of my to go pho spots in OC. I love the option of the small or large/flat noodle. I typically go for the large/flat noodle with my pho. They serve the pho in a unique bowl where they stack your veggies and condiments on top. I also order a side of donuts on the side and it pairs perfectly with the soup. Service is super fast and the restaurant is clean. read more

Loved the presentation of the pho, the modern furniture-simple clean, nice relaxing instrumental music and quick service. I had the northern dac biet (special) pho which comes with thicker noodles. Love my noodles, the bowl came with a generous amount of meat. Northern soup has more cinnamony flavor which is good at first but starts to get a bit much when you continue to eat. Love that each bowl of pho comes with their own greens. The cool thing is you can take the little basil cutting home in its little jars read more

It's an unassuming spot in Fountain Valley with a good amount of space & great pho! We had good service and the waitress helped explain the North Style VS the South style pho. I ended up going with the North style pho but with the thinner noodles. The vietnamese coffee was perfect! It was strong but creamy - very well balanced. The pho broth had a good flavor that wasn't too sweet or too savory. I really like how they serve the pho! The eggrolls came out hot and very crunchy - the way God intended. The filling had pork and veggies in it - you could really taste the meat come through which I appreciated. Overall, I'd come back for their pho but I do wish they had spring rolls. I would say that's my only negative. read more

Fan of phohalic and pho 79 but this is my "go to". No parking issues or wait. Usual order-northern style, thin noodles, filet, brisket and balls...the broth flavor read more

I want to start off this review by saying I am a huge fan of Pho Flavor, I go to the Garden Grove location all the time. It is my favorite Pho restaurant. I will say however that I was extremely disappointed by my experience today at this location. First, I ordered the Southern Style dac biet. I wanted to substitute the round beef for filet mignon, but the server said this was not possible to do. This is really strange because I usually do that at the GG location. She said I had to order the Northern style pho, or purchase an extra side of filet mignon if I wanted the filet mignon. I just ended up going with the round since I wanted the southern style broth. So I asked if I can get the round on the side (which is how I usually order my meat since I don't like it over cooked), the server also said this wasn't possible? I just thought this was overall super strange. She was not very polite about it either. Second, when the pho came, the noodles were hard and clumped at the bottom of the bowl. When I mixed it up, the noodles broke apart... The meat portion while somewhat generous, was dry and not at all juicy and high quality like the GG location. The gau had too much fat. The pickled onions was also not great, very soggy. The positives about this restaurant was how clean the interior was, and how nice the bathroom was. I think service can use improvement. I just don't understand how you can't switch out what meat you want in your pho bowl... it's broth... with toppings.... read more

Such a solid, well-done bowl of pho. I loved the options available to choose between north and south style of pho along with thin or flat noodles. The presentation from the garnishes to the three-tier bowl was so cool and innovative. Price is also pretty good for the amount and quality you get. Flavor of the broth were flavorful and satisfying. Each southern vs northern style broth had its slight differences but both are still delicious. I recommend trying both so you can taste the quality and differences in flavor. My personal favorite was the northern style because of its more complex herbal/spice flavors. I can see myself coming back here when I'm craving my favorite comfort food! read more

3.8/5 We decided to give this place a try since we always go to pho 45. I like how this place offers the variety of options and the north and south style. The food came out within 15 minutes. The broth was hot, but overtime it got warm pretty quick. It also wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting. We got the northern style and it wasn't too rich as it suggested. But the southern style was good. The servers were very nice and patient with us while we were trying to decide what to get! read more

As promised I said I would review again after a 3rd try, 3x is the charm. I could not eat the broth fr Bangkok broth so I ditched the broth but kept the noodle n meat balls n with the broth fr pho flavor I'm over the moon happy having a great dinner. I bought the big container of broth only $5 and an order of meat balls $5, $11 n we shared it, it was so delicious. So the last time we got there late near closing time apparently they were low in broth n probably just added a gallon of water, the broth was thin n tasteless, today it was very flavorful hearty soup. Substantial n oh so good meat balls, only 1 suggestion, pl scoop out fatty layer on top, it was too oily, not a good idea for cardiac patients to feast on. Keep up the good work, a solid 4 stars today. read more
