    Was craving some lemon grass beef noodles and when I say this place takes care of you , I mean that! Look at this portion!!!! Super flavorful, hot and delicious! Great first impression!!! Staff is welcoming and friendly and the establishment is very clean organized and best of all, DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!!!! Will definitely be back

    Great service today and nice clean restroom too. The pork chop with rice was must excellent and tasty freshness just off the grill made to order never frozen. The handmade spring rolls were delicious and the peanut sauce was very good. Overall a good find here in Irvine close to Albertsons supermarket and the Islamic center too. Happy New Year 2026!! Another beautiful day in paradise.

    I came here with my family and ordered the vermicelli bowl. The food came out very quickly and although it was convenient, it made me question how fresh it was. Unfortunately, the flavor tasted a bit off. The vermicelli bowl consisted of mostly veggies so I thought this was a bit overpriced from what I'm used to. The customer service wasn't the greatest but wasn't too bad either. When we would ask for something, there wasn't a verbal response however they did get what we needed. I appreciated the help however it left me feeling their interaction was impersonal and they should've been a bit friendlier. I would say the place is very clean. I really would like to say I enjoyed the food but overall the experience fell a bit short. Hopefully, it was just an off day.

    I often come here when I'm craving hot pho soup. Their broth is good enough to enjoy but I still prefer the pho locations at Westminster. Given that this one is located in Irvine and close to the freeway ramp in Kohls and Albertsons plaza it is good enough. Their spring rolls aren't good like Brodard but their fried egg rolls are delicious. Service is good and I can see it's a family owned place. Sometimes when I come here it is packed and you have to wait outside as there's minimal space to wait indoors. Dining area isn't as large as typical restaurants but it is quite clean. There's no Yelp waitlist so you have to out your name on a paper list and wait for their staff to call you.

    Parking is easy and plentiful at this plaza!! The gentlemen at the front welcomed us in with a bright smile, and the service was very quick and friendly. Very attentive to needs. When we walked in, I noticed the freshness, vibrant colors of the walls, and cleanliness of the restaurant. They offer a wide selection of Vietnamese food with rice and noodle dishes. I really enjoyed the fried egg roll appetizer. It came with fish sauce and very fresh veggies! The egg rolls are distinctive here and an absolute must try. It's white and wrapped/fried in rice paper instead of the traditional golden brown egg roll you normally see at other places. It's a MUST order! The pho broth is very, very flavorful. I didn't use sriracha or hoisin sauce. I actually finished most of the soup when I normally leave the broth.. if I like to sip on the broth alone, that really means something. Yeah, it's really good. Tastes different than other pho places. My order came with a lot of meat and tendon in the broth too. The meat is soft and tender, also juicy. Not dried or skimpy like other pho restaurants. I will definitely come back soon since it's right next to my best friend's place in Irvine. Especially since the weather out is cold now, we will definitely enjoy pho here all winter.. Portion and bowl sizes are huge, so I'm glad! I was very full after dinner. Slept like a baby after getting home. Such a comfort meal. Also got take-out on another day. The bo luc lac. Really good and tender meat

    I've been coming here with my family for many years now and this time brought one of my friends to try it out! This place isn't terribly fancy but it's always been a reliable spot in terms of food and price. Pho with rare steak, brisket, beef tendon (4.5/5) - The broth was great and really hit the spot after a long day out. - Choice of meats provided good variety - Classic toppings with jalapenos, bean sprouts, basil, lime - In terms of portions, you can choose between a small/regular or large size - I almost always get the small/regular and it's very filling. Service was quick and the food was satisfying! You pay at the counter after you're finished with your meal, so overall just a pretty straightforward, no frills experience.

    Absolutely delicious! I 1000% recommend coming here. The staff that was working was so friendly, and attentive. ANDDD the pho came out so fast! I will definitely be back!

    I've been coming here since I was a kid, and the food has always been consistent and delicious. I usually order the pho tai (with rare steak) or pho tai gan (with rare steak and tendon). I will say in my recent visits I noticed that they don't really give a lot of noodles compared to other pho places, but I personally can't eat too much in one sitting so that works out just fine for me personally (I don't like wasting food!) Overall a nice place to get a quick bite of pho and also have a fun look at their paper placements with the zodiac animals.

    I was staying with my son, and he picked up dinner for us from Pho Ha Noi. He picks up food from this restaurant frequently. I had never had Vietnamese food before. He ordered Goi Bo for me, which is a spicy beef salad. The beef was tender and flavorful. He also ordered a side of rice and broth. I liked the rice, but I didn't care for the broth at all. The food was good, but I don't think I'd go back when there are so many other restaurants nearby.

    Sup Noodle Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Irvine. The restaurant strikes a…read moregreat balance between casual comfort food and high-quality ingredients, and every visit has been consistently enjoyable. The star of the menu is definitely the pho. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care--not overly salty or greasy like some places. The meats are tender, portions are generous, and the noodles always have the perfect texture. If you're a first-time visitor, I highly recommend trying one of their signature pho bowls. Their garlic noodles are another standout. Perfectly seasoned with a buttery garlic flavor and a slight savory kick, they pair incredibly well with the grilled meats. The shaken beef and grilled pork are both excellent options if you're looking for something beyond traditional pho. One thing that really sets Sup Noodle apart is the variety of appetizers and sides. The crispy egg rolls are packed with flavor, and the wings are surprisingly good--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with just the right amount of sauce. Don't skip the house sauces either; they elevate every dish. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. Even during busy lunch and dinner hours, the staff does a great job keeping things moving and maintaining a friendly atmosphere. Service has always been attentive without feeling rushed. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Expect a wait during peak lunch and dinner times, especially on weekends. * The garlic noodles are absolutely worth adding to your order. * If you're dining with a group, order several appetizers to share. * Parking can get busy, but turnover is usually quick. Overall, Sup Noodle Bar delivers excellent food, generous portions, and consistently great service. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho, flavorful garlic noodles, or simply looking for a reliable restaurant in Irvine, this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back.

I like what they've done with the place and ambience. It's very warm and inviting. The service was attentive when I visited but it wasn't busy. One of the first things I noticed were the quality of the chopsticks. They reminded me of the disposable ones that came in paper packaging but with the paper removed. The wood was chipped in some places and uneven on the others. For a sit down restaurant in Spectrum, I would've expected better quality chopsticks or for them to have reusable ones. I'm a bit mixed on the spring rolls. The sauce is a coconut based sauce which isn't my personal preference but perfectly fine. The crunchy spring roll paper on the inside of the wrap is always a nice touch an appreciate for a variety in texture. However, the one choice they made that I felt like ruined the spring rolls was that they had seasoned shrimp in the spring roll. Usually a spring roll has a pretty clean taste that goes with a dipping sauce. As for the Pho, it was overall fine but nothing special. The texture of the meatballs was a little too fine and blended but that may be another personal preference. I prefer mine with a bit more bite. Overall the place is alright. At a 5, it's not a place I regretted going and still had nice food but a place I wouldn't consider visiting again. The price to quality and quantity ratio isn't there for a place as expensive as this in Spectrum.

I also appreciate how on top of it the servers always are and how they make sure you are well taken care of. Nep is known for their Banh Mi Chao, which is kind of like Bo Ne but with an "everything but the kitchen sink" vibe.

The tenderness of the beef mixes so well with the sauce, tomatoes, and pâté, while the banh mi acts as the perfect dipping vessel that ties everything together.
