First time being introduce to two different styles of pho. We ordered north style pho - thicker noodles and the broth was very good!

Came to Pho Flavor and really enjoyed it. Ordered the pho with northern style broth, southern style noodles, brisket, flank, and filet mignon, as well as the seafood eggrolls. The pho was served in this unique double layered pot - broth and noodles on the bottom, while the bean sprouts, jalapeños, and other veggies were on top. I appreciated how they didn't give so many veggies as well which really avoided waste. The pho was solid and tasted pretty high quality. The seafood eggrolls were delicious too, and it's pretty rare to see that on a menu, so loved that as well. Cozy and casual spot with good service. No negative notes, and would definitely come back! read more

One of the better pho restaurants in the city. Creative style. Good broth flavor Served the fresh pho noodles. Customer service was good read more

Tried both the Pho Bac Dac Biet (Northern style) and Pho Nam Dac Biet (Southern style). I preferred the Northern bowl - the larger flat noodles were great, the broth had more flavor, and it felt like it came with much more meat. One thing I really liked was the presentation. The bowls are layered with dipping sauces on top, veggies in the middle, and a piping hot bowl of pho underneath. I've unsuccessfully searched for those bowls online ever since, so if anyone knows where they're from, pls let me know haha. Another nice touch was the fresh basil served in a jar. Not only does it look cute, but they let you take it home afterward, which I thought was pretty neat. I also really liked the pickled vinegar onions. They were sliced nice and thin and had the perfect amount of vinegar - not too sharp and not too mild. The portions seemed a bit smaller than what I'm used to, but the broth was clean and I wasn't feeling heavy afterwards. Overall, it's a solid bowl of pho and I enjoyed my meal. However, since I'm not from the area, I probably wouldn't make the drive all the way up here specifically for it. But if you're nearby and craving pho, it's worth checking out. read more

Very unique table ware! It was cute and creative! The noodles were excellent, and they put basil in a jar which was cute too! We asked the meat must be well done and it came with perfect texture. We really liked they spared the noodles and the sauce. Spring rolls were good too. Our server was very friendly even he didn't understand English well. I checked their restroom and it was clean and space. I definitely will go back again if I have another chance. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 10 pm since we were driving back to LA from Oceanside. Plenty of parking in the large plaza. We were greeted and seated immediately but most tables in the quaint space were taken and there seemed to be a waitlist not too long before we arrived. I've only gotten to try northern style pho once before so I was excited to have the opportunity again. My boyfriend and I ordered the cha gio egg roll appetizer ($9) and we each got the #5 pho tai chin northern style ($15.00). They put a little glass bottle of water on your table with mint sprigs that you can take home!! You better believe I took it home lol. Food was ready fast. The egg rolls were the ones with typical golden wrapper (not the rice paper ones which are my favorite) and they were a bit on the smaller side. They also only provided a small amount of mint and 3 small flower shaped cut out pickled radishes and 3 of the same for carrots. A bit disappointing that there wasn't more veg because I love adding it but the egg rolls themselves were super flavorful and had large chunks of shrimp inside. The pho was served in a big fancy ceramic container with matching bowl plates stacked on top that contained veg (bean sprouts, jalapeños, limes) and sauce (sriracha and hoisin). You could definitely tell the soup was different than the typical southern style. More spices and very savory! I poured half of my sauce inside and dipped the meat and noodles into the remaining sauce. There was so much meat! We were able to finish everything but were stuffed. We paid at the counter and used the restroom and were out in less than an hour. Pretty inexpensive and definitely worth it! Would come again. read more

First time at the Garden Grove Pho Flavor--closer to home, and somehow better than Fountain Valley if that's possible. I love the Northern Style Pho (flat silky noodles with a dark, rich, complex broth)--I ordered the Pho Tai LAN with garlic fried ribeye--spectacularly garlicky (now vampire proof for 24 hrs)! My spouse got the southern style #5 Pho Tai Chin. We ordered a free side of white onions to split Friendly efficient service The presentation is adorable Super generous meat in each serving Clean bright space Plenty of parking read more

First time trying northern style Pho and I was in love. My girlfriend and I came by for a late dinner on the way home from SD on a Saturday. We were sat immediately when we arrived thankfully as the restaurant was almost at capacity. The inside is a bit small that may struggle to sit parties more than 6 but it's still well decorated and featured a couple tvs playing some kpop. Our pho bowls came out only a few minutes after ordering which was nice as we were hungies. The ceramic aesthetic of the bowls were so cute, and even better that they held a generous portion. We did order large size pho soups, but even still they were not stingy with the brisket which I appreciated. Their broth was certainly nice and beefy, savory, and was of course even better with their add-ins ( siracha, hoisin, bean sprouts, and Thai basil) . We scraped our bowls quickly and would certainly return if ever in the area. The prices were fair and quality was great! The staff is friendly, and efficient. If ever in the area, I'm sure we'd consider returning for another pho fix :) read more

Definitely need to do an update for this because since my last review, I have been back again this year few months back and they have been my go-to for pho currently! This is the only location I go to, and everyone here is super nice and funny! Service is very attentive! I usually phone in my orders and pick up. I think they are good dine-in (store) but taste even better when I get it and reheat at home over stove top! The flavor def hits the spot. My favs are the Pho Bac Dac Biet and Pho Back Filet Mignon! Sooo good and they are really generous with their portion! NO cash (which I appreciate), CC, square, Apple Pay, everything else but cash! read more

Pho Flavor exceeded expectations. I ordered the Northern style pho with wide noodles and added the beef rib, and it was one of the things that made this place stand out right away since Northern style pho is harder to find. The broth alone will have me coming back. It was deeply flavorful, rich, and comforting without feeling too heavy. You can taste the care that goes into it. The beef rib add on was absolutely worth it. It was tender, meaty, and such a great complement to the soup. I also loved the wide noodles, which made it feel a little different from the typical bowl of pho. What also stood out was how elevated everything felt. The restaurant has a modern, clean vibe and the presentation is thoughtful in a way you do not often see at pho spots. Instead of the usual sauce bottles sitting on the table, the sauces are served in a dish, which felt much more intentional. Even the basil comes presented in a bottle like a floral arrangement, which was such a beautiful touch. I appreciated that it felt true to Northern style pho while also offering a more refined dining experience. From the flavorful broth to the thoughtful presentation, this place delivers both comfort and quality. Definitely a place I would come back to. read more

Pho Flavor - Pho with beef rib add on - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and the pho tasted great. There wasn't a wait, so we got seated immediately. While researching different pho spots, I was intrigued at the reviews that mentioned the stackable bowls. I ordered the phở tái chín ($15), which came with your choice of northern- or southern-style pho and eye-round brisket. When we got our menu, there was an interesting explanation of the differences between northern and southern pho styles. Northern-style pho has a rich broth from herbs and spices with flat and large noodles. Southern-style pho, which I'm more accustomed to, has a light and savory broth with medium-sized rice noodles. The lunch was a cute experience with three stackable bowl tiers: sauces, garnish, and pho. It was a fun lifting each bowl to see what lied underneath. There were also little vases each with Thai basil that you can pluck off yourself. It was pleasant to have all the amenities on our table. We also had a water pitcher to pour ourselves a cup. The price for what you get is great. At some angles, the bowl may look small, but there was a lot of broth. Comparable to other pho restaurants I've tried, the amount of noodles and meat is standard (plenty). The broth tasted deliciously pleasant, even better with the garnishes provided. We also got bánh quẩy ($3): three fried dough sticks. I've thought of this as usually a breakfast dish, but it complemented the pho really well. read more

Great pho with northern and southern options. They give you basil in a cup and you can take it home with you. All the veggies come in a bowl including the sauce. A little gimmicky but it's convenient. Wish they gave more veggies though. You can get thin or thick noodle with any bowl. Egg rolls are really good here but small read more

I came here because I just learned that there's two styles of Phở - North and South style. I never tried the North style. I'm no Phở connoisseur, but I didn't notice a difference, maybe I should have ordered both to compare. But it was still good. I ordered the Phở Băc Đặc Biệt. When I was reading the menu I thought I had to pick one type of meat, but it comes with all the meats. It was really tasty and I cleaned that bowl up. I really like how it's served. It's in a three layer bowl. The first part has the broth, meat and noodles, the middle part is the veggies and the top is the sauces. It was cool. I also got the Asian donuts, I would have liked it more if there was sugar or chocolate to dip it in as I was craving for something sweet. The place is nice and clean. Plenty of parking. The service was great. I sat down, they took my order and then I got my food like in a minute. It was fast. When you're done you go to the register and pay. It's cool a place to get Phở. read more

You really can't go wrong with pho in garden grove but pho flavor is doing it different with their stackable plates which is so cool and aesthetic lol. They also have a really cool little basil plant on the table that you can take home with you when you're done eating. And needless to say they are one of the healthier pho in little Saigon because they don't use seed oils and grass fed beef as well. Go check them out when you're in the mood for some bomb pho and looking for a new spot. read more

There's hella meat and the fresh noodles had a really good texture so i'd recommend getting that too if you're looking at building your own. However 18 bucks for pho?

Pho Flavor in Garden Grove is a great spot when you're craving a solid bowl of pho. I ordered the beef pho to go, and the portion was huge. The bowl was big enough that I shared it with my brother, and there was still so much food that I couldn't even finish my share and had to bring some home. I like that they offer two styles for the pho -- Eastern style, which has leaner cuts, and Western style, which includes richer, fattier cuts. I opted for the Eastern style because I prefer the thinly sliced, leaner beef, and it was perfect. The broth was very flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you want from a good pho. Ordering was easy too -- I walked in, placed my order, and they had it ready quickly for takeout. Generous portions, great flavor, and fast service. Definitely a place I'd come back to again. Correction, my apologiesThank you for sharing that work me read more

My friend and I ordered the Northern & Southern style pho. Service was very quick and staff were extremely friendly. I would say the pho is OK. To be honest, it wasn't that flavorful and wouldn't be my go to spot, unless I'm looking for a late night pho spot. I like the way the bowls are constructed, it's very unique & the pho also comes with a cute basil tree-like thing in a bottle. Portion sizes are very generous! The northern style pho isn't actually authentic northern style, but nonetheless, lots of menu items. read more

It was so packed but we were seated fast (waited for about 5-10 minutes for a party of 6). It was about 9:00 pm and people were still coming in. You have a choice between northern or southern broth (southern is lighter and northern is more rich). Then choose the item number, which is the choice of meat. I ordered a number 5 southern and it was so good! It was light and flavorful! I can see why this place is so popular. read more

First time here, and it was definitely a unique pho experience. I liked that they offer both Northern- and Southern-style pho--one with thicker noodles and one with the classic thin noodles. It's a nice option if you're looking for something a little different from the usual. I ordered the prime rib pho, but I believe I may have received the wrong cut. The menu photo shows a prime rib with a bone, but mine didn't come with one and seemed more like smaller brisket pieces. That said, the broth and overall flavor were still very good, so it didn't take away too much from the meal. For appetizers, we ordered spring rolls, but they only offer deep-fried spring rolls, not the classic fresh Vietnamese-style spring rolls. They were still good--just something to know ahead of time if you're expecting the traditional version. The space is very tight, so I wouldn't recommend coming with kids, especially with a stroller. Tables and chairs are close together, and it would be easy for kids to bump into walls or nearby tables. Overall, great flavors and a unique take on pho. I'd come back again, just with clearer expectations and probably without kids. read more

Was craving northern style pho after my Vietnam trip so I found this place. I came early in the morning so there wasn't much of a wait. I ordered the northern style pho and surprising it's very different than what I imagined. In Vietnam, northern pho has sliced beef with only green onions, while the broth is pretty clear and light. Based on their menu explaining south vs north, I think they might have northern and southern style backwards. The Northern style pho here is darker in color, deeper flavor, and fattier compared to Vietnam. There's also a lot of different cuts of meat, bean sprouts, basil which wouldn't be served in northern style but would be served with southern style in Vietnam. But I'm not complaining the more ingredients the better! Overall the bowl was very filling and delicious. I wish the chili sauce they provided was sriracha red rooster brand as I think it tastes better. Service was quick and the wait staff were really friendly. Interior looked very modern and clean. read more

Vibes: Chill, casual lunch/dinner Crowd: Small indoor seating/tables, not too crowded on a Fri night Menu: Mostly Pho, with a couple of appetizer options Value for price: 5/5, good price point Service: Very fast and kind, pay up front Parking: Crowded shopping center My friend recommended Pho Flavor to me since I'm obsessed with pho but had never tried Northern style. This is a nice place for a quick dinner (we were in/out in 1hr) with good flavors. They keep the thai basil in little mason jars on the table, great to break off pieces for your soup...but you do have to wonder...how many people have touched those leaves...? We tried the egg rolls, which were crispy, fresh, and delicious. They don't serve these with lettuce/fish sauce as I've seen in some other restaurants, but there are 4 medium-sized rolls with a sweet chili dipping sauce. There were 2 shrimp and 2 pork, each had large chunks of meat- very good. The combination Northern style pho (we tried with flat noodles) was good, with a mild broth compared to the Southern counterpart. Good quantity of beef slices, large pieces of tendon, and small meatballs. We tried the flat noodles which were good but did fall apart a bit. The only thing missing from a 5-star review would be warmer soup (it was room temp when it reached us) and firmer noodles, but this is a solid place if you're craving pho! read more

Came here for dinner. This place gets packed quickly so anticipate a wait during peak hours. They specialize in northern style pho which I've never tried before so I was very excited. The place has chic decor and you get a fresh basil stem on a vase to take home. We got seafood eggrolls to start and the northern special and northern brisket with meatball. Seafood Eggrolls- The eggrolls are fried to perfection so you get a lovely crisp outside. Inside it's packed with ground pork, shrimp, crabmeat, mushrooms, and vermicelli. It is absolutely flavorful! Northern Special- Northern style pho has a rich, fatty broth that is delicious. This dish is loaded with a variety of meat: tendon, tripe, brisket, meatball, and fatty flank. Very filling! Comes with a side of bean sprouts and a lime wedge added to taste. Northern Brisket with Meatball- Cannot talk enough about how delicious the broth is. Lots of flavor and herbs. The noodles are wide and chewy. The brisket is tender and the meatball is dense and filling. Comes with a side of bean sprouts and lime wedge added to taste. Great experience overall! read more

Great pho spot in Garden Grove, especially if you're dining with a toddler. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed from the start.

Definitely a great option for families. Would come back again! read more

Pho Flavor - Northern style pho with Filet Mignon and brisket with fresh flat noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Today our whole family came to try Pho Flavor, and it turned out to be such a great dining experience! If you love Vietnamese pho, this place is definitely worth visiting. The pho here is super delicious, with a rich and flavorful broth that tastes comforting and authentic. Every bowl comes with a very generous portion, so you definitely won't leave hungry. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion size. It's always nice to find a restaurant where the food is both amazing and affordable. We also tried some appetizers and they were so good! The seafood egg rolls were crispy on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. We also ordered the Asian donuts, which were perfect pairing with Pho --good for sharing with the family. Don't miss the side order of beef back ribs -- they were incredibly tender, juicy, and absolutely yummy! It's a great dish to share with everyone at the table. For drinks, you have to try their Vietnamese milk coffee -- rich, bold, and perfectly sweet. We also ordered the peach tea with chia seeds, and it was incredibly refreshing and delicious! Another thing that impressed me is that they use avocado oil instead of vegetable oils, which makes the food feel a little healthier. They even offer keto-friendly options with konjac noodles, so it's great for people who want to enjoy pho while keeping their diet low-carb. I love it! Eating a warm bowl of pho together with my family made the meal even more special. Good food, big portions, fair prices, and a cozy atmosphere with great service! Free Parking. We all really enjoyed it. read more

Just found my new pho spot! This place gives you the option of having your pho Southern or Northern style. Not many restaurants offer Northern pho so this was definitely a great find! The menu explains the difference of each so you can decide which you like. I got #5 Pho Tai Chin, Northern style. The meat was extremely tender and it came with a good amount of meat! There's not as much noodle but you can get more on the side just for an extra $3. The broth was rich and clean tasting. They also serve fresh basil that you can pick to your liking, which is such a neat concept so they don't go to waste! The staff were attentive, friendly and service was quick! The ambiance was casual dining, and overall clean. There were plenty of parking outside in the plaza as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Exceeded our expectations! We actually decided to come here because our first pick was too busy (it was Christmas day) so we didn't look at the reviews first. There was a waitlist inside to put your name down and even though there were a few empty tables, there weren't many staff working. We got both the Northern style pho with wider noodles and the Southern style pho with thin noodles to try. Both came out in these ceramic three-tiered pot that we've never seen before but they make sense. First tier was sauce, second tier herbs, third tier your actual pho. Each table even had a little bottle of fresh basil which was a really nice touch. We both preferred the Southern style. Broths were a little different and we prefer the bounce of the thin noodles. read more

Delicious pho! The rib add on was very tender and delicious. The kids friendly small pho and noodle add on for 6 was great. The northern pho was very light, maybe a quality control issue. It was not very different from the southern pho, on this day the southern pho actually had more flavor than the northern. It was very noticeable that there was a distinct lack of cardamom which is typically very strong. I would guesstimate the stock concentration at around 50% to 60% given the thinness of the soup. read more

Pho Flavor - Left southern right northern - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

So it's Pho weather. And though this location is behind the Orange Curtain, I made the trek from LA to see friends, or in this case, a friend, one who bought me lunch. Life is good. It's in the plaza on the corner of Brookhurst and Garden Grove. If you've been here, you know how parking can be. But I guess on a Sunday afternoon, it's not bad as there was ample parking. Both when I arrived and when we left. Maybe the weather had a part - I myself don't like going out in the rain. Arrived early - immediately seated. Served right away. But as I arrived on "Ran" time, some tables started opening up and I was asked if I wanted a larger table. I didn't refuse and good thing too because the two topper I was on would have been pretty tight with the amount of food for two. I mention this because the service throughout was great. Not a lot of interaction but very attentive and thoughtful as I noticed how larger parties were also taken care of as far as seating goes - so everyone was comfortable. Then there was the food. Pho comes in a pretty cool tiered bowl. Pho in the bottom, bean sprouts and jalapenos in the second and sauces on top. See pics. Also got some egg rolls and a side of oxtail. Enjoyed all of it but here's where I felt any improvements would have made me really love this place: broth was not piping hot. I prefer my broth to be served steaming to the point that I wouldn't even dare try it lest I burn my mouth. The second was the oxtail was a little on the dry side. I'm used to oxtail that falls apart, not needing to be cut or broken apart. But, like I said, the flavors, the taste, the mix of ingredients all were great otherwise. Not sure if when I'll make it back again - as I live up LA. Not a lot of places I find up where I live that compare to the Little Saigon area so I never know. But yes, I'd come back. Try the northern style and maybe ask if for the broth to be boiling hot when served. read more

This pho restaurant is unlike any other pho restaurant you go to. I say that because of their food presentation that makes eating pho so special. Each bowl of pho will be served with a cool layered set up! The sauces along with the veggies will be given to you with the set up. The basil that they give you on the side straight up looks like decor! You can pluck off however much basil you feel and add it into the soup. Super creative. I got the southern style pho with meatballs and brisket. The meats were tender and soup was hot! Super comforting on a cold day. My only gripe is the texture of the noodles. Not as chewy as I would like it but still good. The flavor of the broth was a little bit on the saltier side, but still delicious. Overall, this is a cool place to get pho. Service was also fast. Next time, I'll be getting the egg rolls! read more
