My husband and I often came here for lunch (mostly) ever since we moved to Brea. This restaurant has a nice relaxing and serene ambiance, the service is always cordial, the waiter named Darren was very friendly and kind, and their Vietnamese dishes have never disappointed us. The clean-cut chicken, for instance, is delicious, and food variety is more than decent. I gave it a 5-star review because I honestly feel they deserve the recognition and appreciation for great customer service and authenticity of food selections. read more

Excellent and consistent food quality both in house dining and take away! We've been coming here since it opened! Often see the very personable and knowledgeable owners and intend to support this small family owned business! Hope many others do so as well! read more

Over priced and low quality. I ordered pho to go which only comes in 1 size. The noodles were cold, and the broth was luke warm at best. The noodles had a taste like they were almost spoiled or not temperature controlled properly. I ordered a grilled pork chop on the side of a plain pho, $22 and the pork was loaded with fat that was hard to chew through. I asked for extra hot sauce when I picked it up, I was told it was in the bag, there was 1 packet of hoisin sauce and 1 packet of hot sauce with the vegetables that come with the order. The broth needed more flavor and needed to be a lot hotter. Over all this was a big let down read more

What can I say. The atmosphere was pretty nice. However the egg rolls were very low quality and stuffed with dikon as a filler. There was no vermicelli, pork or mushroom in these rolls. I don't even consider these rolls as being Vietnamese. read more

Still here, 12 years later and still a solid choice. Today the beef tendon was plentiful and so silky. It's my favorite! read more

Pretty darn delicious, my coworkers eat here religiously. The attention they give the customers is superb, quick and accommodating. Really chill spot, huge portions. Love the egg rolls read more

Oh my! We happened to be really hungry and wanted to have a warm comforting food and we thought, pho it is! Wanted to try this one for so long but the review is kinda different... But hey, let's give it a try! We are so determined of it and we ended up...didn't feel that this one is good, We ordered: - oxtail Pho, 2stars The meat is so generous but! It's so hard like seriously hard! I tried each bite of it, as I thought "maybe only this one" each time I bite the meat. While actually all are so hard. I backed down from eating it and have it for to go. I have never packed a full of pho usually, and I always finish it on the spot., Tried to heat it at home, but it's seriously hard, kinda chewy - chicken bbq with rice, 3stars The kids like the chicken so it's a win for me, the chicken is somewhat ok and the spices are quite good. And it's a big pice of chicken which enough for 2 kids! - pork with rice, 3stars Hubby is the one who had this and he said it's 3 out of 5! He likes the hot soup and How they serve it with the clay pot! The pork is also good. For the service is good. But the food especially the pho! The one that I had is just amazing! Amazingly hard for the meat! read more

I came here for the first time three months ago when I wasn't feeling so great and as medicine looked for the closest Pho in the area. I couldn't believe I had never been there before! Right away I was met by Darren's warm smile (which became a part of my every week now!) and was pleased to dine with such huge portion and yummy sauces! the Pho is amazing the team super friendly and hospitable Drinks always refreshing and Darren always ready to greet me and lead the space with grace! Added bonus: the cute patio full of greenery to escape the sounds of the roads! This is my favorite lunch spot in Brea! read more

Pho is definitely one of my favorite dishes and I've had a lot of it, from countless spots. I'm lucky to have this spot close to home because it's by far the best. This might sound ridiculous, but I stop for pho about once a week and as long as I'm in town, it's always here. Their broth is flavorful and not overly salty, cuts of meat are high quality and the rare steak is always fresh and tender. I get the #8 every time and it's perfectly. The restaurant is clean, cozy, the music is always nice, and the staff is professional and friendly. I'm never disappointed with Pho Ha Brea. Today, my bowl looked amazing so I wanted to share. read more

Really bad. Broth is not clear. Should not use Pho Ha brand. First and last. Need a new chef. read more

Overpriced and mediocre pho. We were also charged $2 for a Togo fee for picking up our order and were told this is for the containers. The containers for the broth are very flimsy and the lids tend to fall off during transport, causing you to lose most of your broth. read more

Located in the corner of a small shopping plaza, this location is easy to find right off of the 57 freeway. Staff here is quick and courteous. When I go to a Pho place, I get worried when I don't see the number after the Pho name. A Vietnamese friend told me that I should only visit locations with a random number behind it. Nevertheless, since I'm local to this location, I wanted to support the local business. I ordered the classic pho tai, and added a side of meatballs. The meatballs came in a separate bowl of soup, two large meatballs cut in half. ($4 for two meatballs). The good thing is you can choose regular size or large bowl of pho, the bad news is you can't really tell the difference between them. My wife ordered the regular size, and I 'think' my portion was larger, but it looked the same. The flavor of the broth is key to Pho. It should be layers of flavor... but this one is just 'okay'. It lacked the complexity of the soup compared to places in Westminster/Garden Grove Pho restaurants. The meat was okay, portion size okay. Everything just seems okay, and in the end, I felt that the soup base was catered for the non typical eaters of Vietnamese food. It played it too safe, something just felt off. Cost value to food taste ratio wasn't there. A bit too expensive for what you get. read more

We came for some pho on a cold day and were happily surprised by the delicious eggs rolls! They were well worth the price for 4 good sized pieces and we were happy with the recommendation from our waiter to try them. The pho was also very tasty. We liked the lean brisket more than the rare steak in the #11 option. We would be happy to return. The restaurant was clean and had a kind and speedy service. read more

Everything was terrible from the food to the service. If I could give it 0 starts I would. Simply the worst Pho place we've ever had. Avoid this dump at all costs. read more

I love this place. Always courteous. Great service, yummy food. Fresh veggies. My favorite are the PHO and the egg rolls. read more

Been here a handful of times. Usually always busy with patrons. This recent visit was no different. I ordered a large pho ga (chicken pho) and it came with chicken thigh and a ton of noodles. Overall the dish was great I wish the broth was a bit hotter and more rich. It's not a must try but it hits the spot at times. read more

Pho ha is a consistent that always hits the spot. It's family run and the staff is always super friendly, even when it's apparent they're understaffed. All of their pho options are amazing, by far they have one of the best, rich broth around. Their pork rolls are delicious, comes with their house peanut sauce which is the perfect compliment. If you're in the area and want a good bowl of pho, this is a must visit read more

This is a decent pho place if you're in the area. I usually order their chicken pho. The broth is decent, chicken is good, and they give you a good amount of bean sprouts with fresh herbs; I just wish they gave you more noodles for the price of the dish. I read that people raved about their mango smoothie, so I ordered it. I was expecting a WOW factor, but it just tasted like a regular mango smoothie. Prices are decent, credit cards are accepted, and there's plenty of parking. read more

Horrible experience! Ask for no onion and they still put onion in. Had some questions about the order and asked the staff about it. They were so rude and refused to explain. I kindly tell them that the menu they uploaded online was wrong with wrong prices, they yelled at me about it " look at the price here, are we all good or no. Look at the price look at the price." Keep yelling at me for no reason. I was just telling them the price was wrong online. Definitely not coming back and not recommended. read more

I ordered the bbq pork bun and crispy egg rolls. Portions are huge. Flavor of everything is delicious and fresh. Service was very fast. Inside isn't much... just a bunch of tables but nice and clean. I'd return again and try their pho read more

Our quick go to place in Brea during the week is a must. Darren is always great server. Our family always gets a variation of different orders... spring rolls or egg rolls to start. you can't go wrong with the lean brisket or oxtail pho. Their diced steak a skillet is amazing as well. read more

This is our go to place for good Pho at our neighboring city, Brea. But it seems each time we come here. The service seems to be getting terrible each time. Especially with the servers being non fluent speaking English. So that's where the ordering can be a bit complicated to understand. Where you'd end up getting the wrong entree w incorrect protein order given to us. Due to lack of miscommunication. Took us forever to get the items we requested, for instance. The fish dipping sauce, requested no chili for the kids. Server kept on bringing it with chili. After informing her "No chili" once again. My son was starving waiting for the non chili dipping sauce replacement. Until we had to go into the restaurant asking for the sauce again. She ended up not bringing the correct sauce, since she thought we didn't want the sauce anymore. Language Barrier indeed. Items we normally order and love here ~Pho #1. Delicious Flavorful pho beef broth. With tender yummy meat slices, tendons, tripe and many other protein. ~ Bo Luc Lac # 39. Really tender flavorful meat marinated w spices. comes white rice, side salad w pickled vegetables & yummy broth soup. You'd have to go inside to the counter to pay for the check. When ask for the bill to pay. The old owner (I believe) asked us what we ordered. It seem as though the server didn't get all of our order input into the register correctly. So we had to repeat to the man what we ordered. Several of times. He did apologize for all the issues we had and for not having the correct order. Service was a bit slow~ from when I looked into the restaurant. Only seem like 2 woman working the restaurant. The girl taking the orders & the server, serving the food along with the old man. We went during dinner time 7 pm, on a Monday. Lots of seating table, booths inside & patio seatings outside We still occasionally frequent this pho place due to their food is good & pretty decent as in pricing. Located In a busy shopping center, right next to Creamistry Ice Cream. Plenty of parking. In the same plaza as Lucille's BBQ & Bucca de peppo. read more

Love Pho Ha! Been coming here with my family since forever! Great noodles, great meat, great broth! Classic authentic pho!

This place is one of the best Pho spots in Socal. I'm from Fullerton, born and raised, and I have been coming here for a while. The owners are some of the nicest people ever! They even checked in on me when I only had something to drink and not eat. When my friend ordered something, they were so incredibly fast. We were shocked at how quick and high-quality the food is. These are people who care, and there is love in each bite. This is the only Pho place I'll ever go to and truly enjoy. read more

Food was amazing. Will definitely come back. I recommend the number 39! Super tasty. Service was really good as well. So far the best pho spot in the area I have been too. read more

I had such high hopes for this place but was so disappointed in the end. Starting out with the good - we were greeted and seated quickly. Our orders came out in a timely manner. Service was friendly and on point. Now the not so good. I'm Vietnamese and have had hundreds of bowls of Pho in my 5 decades of life. No joke. My bowl of $20 Oxtail Pho was one of, if not the worst, bowl I've ever had. The broth was bland and the Oxtail was waaaay undercooked. It was so tough and basically not edible as you could barely bite the meat off the bone. Not wanting to waste food, I took it home to my dog. She struggled trying to eat them but looked like she enjoyed them more than i did. My husband had the meatball Pho which is always his go to anytime he orders Pho at a restaurant and he too, thought it was very underwhelming. I really wanted to love this place, but I didn't. read more

I have been coming here forever, they have great pho and awesome service, definitely recommended
