    Nice Pho Ga establishment in the heart of Garden Grove! This family style restaurant has a lot to offer, serving a variety of staple Vietnamese dishes. As per the name, their specialty is Pho Ga, which is rice noodle soup with chicken. We were seated and served relatively quickly. We ordered Pho Ga Dac Biet (Rice Noodles with Chicken, Dac Biet). The broth was nostalgic, warming, and flavorful. The chicken and veggies were pretty standard. Overall, we thought this restaurant served great food but the price was rather steep for its relatively small portion size. Would recommend to those in the area looking for solid Pho Ga!

    1. The pho had good broth and chicken! I love that I can have the chicken cooked an on the side! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! They have a robot server! 4. The spot only has indoor seatings! There are a lot of tables! 5. Lot has a lot of parking! Nearby parking can get crowded depending on time and day! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Pho Ga Combo and Vietnamese Iced Coffee

    Tasty and homestyle cooking! The menu is simple yet diverse to accommodate any type of cravings. I visited late at night and was able to get seated right away. From egg rolls to glass noodle pho and beef pho, their menu had everything we were looking forward to eat. Food service was also very quick. Thank you so much to the staff and robot server who made our dining experience delish!! Come visit open til midnight.

    Food is good and authentic just the right size serving. We ordered Pho rare steak and crispy fired chicken with crispy skin my son loved it. We got seated fast on a Saturday night dinner. Fast service. Music is nice instrumental medley a good family style restaurant where you can savor delicious meals and good vibes.

    Came into town for New Years wanted to try this place with my daughter since we were close to this place. Good here is very good. We ordered pho chicken combo( pho ga đặc biệt) ít was very good the noodle and broth in a bowl and the chicken was on the side with a separate small bowl of fish sauce and ginger to dip the chicken. Service was good didn't have a wait at all. Theres alittle robot brings out a tray with your entree instead of a real person. Thought it was cool about it. I haven't been to any restaurant that has this before. Ambience here , it was close to corner , was easy to find, inside is alittle small but food here is good.

    Had the mien ga (glass noodle chicken soup) Serving size of meats 3/5 Broth taste 5/5 for chicken soup! Condiment station - stocked and has fresh ground pepper corns which are grinded by the electronic device. Neat seeing the robot coming out with the goods. Wouldn't recommend their beef pho as the broth was a bit lacking.

    Had a late lunch with a friend here. We both ordered a bo lo luc dish one with rice and one with noodles. My friend's meat was cooked as asked. My meat was not cooked as asked and that ruined my meal. Service was good our waters were refilled throughout our meal. The restaurant uses a robot to deliver your meal to your table.

    Second time here. I can't get enough of this place. The flavor is good. Clean broth. GREAT family restaurant and the best part is it's open late!!! Stopped by on a rainy day. It's like mamas home cooking.

    The chicken pho was prepared in a very unhygienic manner; the chicken meat hadn't been properly plucked, and the meat itself was cold. This is both the first and the last time I will ever visit this place.

    Outside!

    10/10 Food + Service + Ambiance My family and I have been coming here for years! We always get chicken pho and they debone upon request.

    This is a hole in the wall family owned chicken pho spot that most locals go to for no frills chicken pho. The waiter takes your order, and it comes out via the robot cat thing. Most people here order the chicken pho or a rice dish. Pho was standard for chicken pho, soup was so clean and nurturing. They provide a generous serving of flat rice noodles. However, I thought the chicken was a little skimping on the side. They could provide more pieces for the price. Chicken was tender and flavorful

    Of the best!!! When you walk in, you are instantly greeted and welcomed to come in and pick any seat available. Menus are already on the tables. I took a quick look, and told the server I was ready. I ordered a chicken pho and a Hainan style rice dish. The server recommended I try the chicken innards plate to along with the pho, so I said sure! Everything was delicious! Everything was fresh. The chicken is cooked perfectly. The sauce for the Hainan was delicious too! It was not salty nor overpowering in any way. The pho broth was amazing, very refreshing and not too salty. I would definitely come back here again. Come and try it!

Got the dry seafood noodles, beef stew noodles and deep fried dumplings. The dumplings were alright, it's basically deep fried wonton with pork and shrimp. My usual dry seafood noodles was scrumptious and side soup was packed with lots of seafood. I typically add a load of red vinegar to give a good tang. The beef stew was also really good and meat was tender except the tendon, there's 3 level of spicy however level 1 mild is still very spicy especially for people who don't usually eat spicy.

Mai Phat still exceeded them! It has since become our go-to lunch spot, as well as a local favorite for my wife's family. They specialize in egg noodles - served either dry (with broth and main protein on the side) or wet like a conventional soup bowl. My personal go-to is the dry mì sủi cảo - egg noodles with sliced / ground pork, huge wonton dumplings, a shrimp cracker, and broth on the side. The wontons come in a super rich and delicious sauce that I actually got scolded for pouring over my noodles lol. The light and clear broth is very refreshing and well-seasoned. Excellent mix of perfectly balanced flavors from every component. Add chili crisp for extra oomph. My wife loves the mì gà quay - fried chicken leg & thigh with the signature egg noodles. This is honestly one of the most perfectly seasoned and cooked fried chicken I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of fried chicken. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive Highly recommend Mai Phat for hearty, expertly crafted, and relatively guilt free Vietnamese comfort food

We waited probably around 15 minutes and there were about two or three other parties before us. Be sure to sign in on the notepad. There are a few plastic stools in the front. While you're waiting, they will take your order to add it to the queue for the kitchen. When our turn was up, we were seated at small table for two. I noticed another gentleman by himself at a table for four people. Hmmmm. Anyhow, there were about five tables total inside or maybe six. It was very warm inside since there is no AC. This is a type of life where you eat and leave as quickly because it's a no-frills no ambience type of place. That's fine with me except it was pretty hot. They charge you a dollar for a little tiny paper cup of water. I ordered the number one since this is their specialty or what they're known for. My mom had the bun thit nuong cha gio. My noodle soup had a good amount of crab pieces and shrimp. It seemed like there was not a lot of noodles though. I thought the broth was a little bland. I guess I'm just not a big fan of this type of soup. If there is a next time, I'll try the bun rieu. My mother was not that crazy about her dish. She said she didn't really like the egg rolls that much. For the price, the wait and the taste of the food, I likely will not be returning when there are so many other places in the area. I try to support various mom and pop restaurants, but for the previous stated reasons, I don't think we'll be back.

Portions seem a bit smaller than the San Gabriel and Rosemead location but it gets the job done and I am pretty full after the meal. They have so many other options on the menu like chow fun, hainan chicken, and a ton of other noodle soup dishes. The last two times I came here was on a weekday during lunch so there was plenty of parking. However, I'm sure it gets packed on the weekend since it is located right next to the Asian Garden Mall. All tax is included in the price so there's no additional sales tax line item. Also! They charge 50 cents for water.. other locations do not. I was surprised but oh well.

Anyway, I have a crown cap so I wasn't super alarmed, but still a bit shook. I still finished my food but I politely tried to let one of the cashiers know. I showed him & everything & he was apologetic & asked what they could do to fix the situation. So I asked for a refund. And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer. Btw they give you plastic utensils here even for dining in which is a con.
