Everything was delicious and a bit better priced than other Vietnamese restaurants. The pho was good, bun Bo hue was good and the vegetables were all so clean and bountiful. They rebranded well, the drinks and Che thai were delicious. This will be our new Vietnamese spot to go too! Everything tasted authentic and finally a Vietnamese spot in south OC that has self service utensils. read more

We have been coming to the former place for years. My understanding is a relative bought the place from the older owners and renamed it. Much of the items offered are the same. The menu just presents them by their Vietnamese names first. I went with pho and it was delicious and filling. The Thai iced tea remains some of the best around. read more

Have not really come across a decent Vietnamese restaurant while we were in Deerfield Beach, so we were in a way looking forward to coming here as soon as we landed in OC. I'm glad we don't have to drive to Little Saigon in Westminster to have tasty vietnamese food. Anyways, we ordered the following: Asparagus & Crab Soup came out steaming, with generous and real crab sweetness in every spoonful. The Pork Egg Rolls are crispy, herb‑forward, and perfect with my fave dipping sauce. The Chicken Wings with Garlic Fish Sauce hit that ideal balance of sticky, crunchy and garlicky -- easily one of the best versions around. And my forever go‑to, the Broken Rice with BBQ Pork, is tender, smoky, and consistently satisfying. Friendly service and generous portions at an affordable price point, keep this spot in our regular rotation. read more

Vermicelli is good here. Standard vietnamese fare and quality, satisfying. I found the eggroll to be just okay versus other eggrolls at other Vietnamese restaurants, filling-wise. read more

Warning when tipping, this business sets their machines with tip defaults on your full bill. So if you don't do the math yourself and just click on the handheld machine they give you, you will pay tip on top of tax too. That's a tricky business practice that adds up for them across every customer. They responded that they use Clover which doesn't allow them to change, and I can click "custom tip" to calculate myself. So they have admitted they are defaulting to additional tax on tip. When I took a few minutes to research, "Clover's tip calculation system allows businesses to set their own tip percentages and whether to include taxes in the tip calculation." Putting the burden on the customer instead of doing the right thing seemingly, but it works for them that most people don't pay attention I guess. read more

Came here on a Saturday dinner, several tables inside and bot too busy. Ordered some butter garlic chicken wings and pho. Chicken wings wings were super crispy and buttery. Not spicy and a good bit of garlic. A little on the dry side. Pho was standard and you get a choice of various meats. Good portions and warms you up on a cold day. Overall recommend trying this place out if you are in Tustin read more

Updating my review, but this time it's for dining in the restaurant. I came here and brought two of my coworkers on a Friday during lunch. The dining area is small to medium, but cozy. We all ordered our individual meals and each got something different. I have been thinking of having the spicy beef noodle soup or bun bo Hue at this restaurant. A friend mentioned to me that he had the soup and said it was delicious. The broth was not heavy or greasy compared to other places. It was flavorful with hints of lemongrass and there's chili oil available on the table to add for a little heat. I finished the bowl no problem and most of the broth. My coworkers had the pho brisket noodle soup. She really loved her bowl. Same for my other coworker who ordered the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork, shrimp, and eggroll. They were super pleased with their lunch and are excited to return for another meal. The gentlemen who worked there were friendly and checked in on us. At the end, we went back up to the register up front to pay before we left. We'll be back! read more

Stumbled upon this spot while driving through the area and was pleasantly surprised. The pho broth on its own was mediocre at best, but their chili oil is where it's at. One spoonful of that magic completely transformed the bowl and gave it a serious flavor boost. Prices were very reasonable too, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area--especially if you love a good chili oil. read more

Solid pho that is affordable and fast service. We came here for lunch in a Tuesday not too many people and found a seat easily. Located in the same mall as cream pan, plenty of parking. I got the chicken pho (medium 13.5) and my fiancé got the large ($15). Pho comes with bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil. Chicken pho was light and flavorful. Good amount of chicken portion was perfect! Glad to find a place where a bowl is not $20, would like to try the beef ones next time. read more

Parking: in the same lot as Cream Pan tucked in a corner near a Poke place with plenty of spots available Food: had good balance of veggies/meat/ noodles for the vermicelli bowl Service: it was okay. They just take your order and you have to go up to the counter to pay and they never check in so don't expect good customer service but it's fine because the food is all that matters lol read more

The food was very good especially the beef stew. This time was my husband second time coming here and my first time here. However, I did get to try their food (beef stew) that my husband brought home for me the first time. The spring rolls and egg rolls were yummy. I especially like the size of the rolls not skimpy. The rice dish was pretty good. Service was good and ambiance was good. I especially loved the prices here very reasonable. read more

Located near Cream Pan Bakery with plenty of parking. It was not busy when we arrived on a late Saturday afternoon. I loved Bun Bo Hue here. Soup tasted light yet rich at the same time. I did not get "gio" by choice. I got everything else that came with it. It's hard driving out to Bolsa or GG Town so I am glad I finally found some good Bun Bo Hue here in Tustin. Meats, noodles and veggies tasted fresh. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (BBQ pork with eggrolls) tasted deliciously fresh and clean with well marinated meats. Pho was on the sweet side but very delicious as well. Pho was served with all the normal thai basil and Ngo Gai, bean sprouts etc so that was a plus. Meats were not as tender as I would normally enjoy like filet mignon. I would come back since it's much closer and prices are competitive. Meats tasted well marinated and clean and vegetables were fresh. Plus, staff was very polite, friendly and quick with services. The inside looks clean. read more

Located in the same plaza as Cream Pan. It wasn't busy when we came here for lunch so we got seated right away. I ordered pho with a choice of 1-3 meats which was nice to be able to choose my own specific meats. I went with brisket, meatballs and tripe and they tasted great with the broth. Overall, a decent bowl of pho! read more

I was craving for Pho today driving pass the area and I found this pho place on yelp with some good reviews so i decided to come and try it out. This place is located inside a strip mall near the end of the street el camino way. It is in the same plaza as cream pan. Plenty of parking in this strip mall. There is a water fountain right in front of it. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly male server and he was attentive. He greeted me and sat me down, took my order and food came out pretty fast. The inside of this place isn't that big. The menu only has Vietnamese and English but no Chinese so it might be inconvenient for people thats not that good in English and Vietnamese. Food wise, I ordered a Pho noodle soup. You can pick 3 items from a Medium size bowl and 4-5 items for a large size bowl. The portion came out smaller than I expected but not a big deal. i also ordered an egg flower crab meat soup which it is pretty decent. A decent pho restaurant to go a grab a quick lunch or dinner. Nothing negative I can say about this place but also nothing amazed me to give it a 5 so therefore I would give this place a 3.5 rating ( round up to be 4 star rating ). read more

Great prices at this restaurant! My family and I all ordered the pho. My only "complaint" is that the soup tasted pretty sweet (so I added lime to balance it out). We asked for more onions and basil, they were kind to provide more. Interior is clean and servers were kind. I'd definitely come again to try their vermicelli and other menu items! read more

I enjoy this place as an authentic vietnamese restaurant in Tustin. It has alot of great options. Pho, bun bo hue, broken rice, vermicelli, appetizers, etc. I'd recommend this as a solid spot to eat at, although I generally get things to go. Their fruit cocktail dessert (che thai) in the cup is amazing. Please keep coming here so it sticks around! read more

Recently came back and had the Spicy beef noodles and that was good but not authentic. It came with slices of beef shank and a few pieces of pork rolls. Love the veggies that came with it though. This dish is 4/5. ***************************** Pho Ky Dong turned up while I was searching for some restaurants in Tustin. Went there during lunch hour. Restaurant was busy but not too crazy. I was going to try their grilled pork vermicelli but as I was walking through the main entrance, the pho aroma made me change my mind. :) Ordered the pho with 3-cut as a trial for the first time. It was surprisingly very good. They gave a fair amount of sliced rare beef and it was tender as I was hoping. The meatballs were also very good and it's the version with tendon. Tasty but not tough at all, which I liked. The tripe was good but some pieces were a bit tough. Most pieces were okay. Noodles were a bit too overcooked though. I like the noodles to be more el dente. Broth was perfectly made. Not fatty or greasy, nor oily. Clean and also not too salty. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. A lady next to me had the bun bo hue and that smelled good so I want to try that next, and also the grilled pork with vermicelli. Pork slices look lean in some of the Yelp review photos. Service was quick and employees were polite and friendly. Cashier (owner?) gave 10% off at check out. She said customers get 10% off at "happy hour", M-F, from 11;00 am to 3:00 pm. Cool. read more

We were craving some pho and found this spot in Tustin. We got sat immediately and ordered a bowl or pho, vermicelli and eggrolls. I got the special vermicelli that had all three meats. The pork was seasoned well but on the fattier end. The shrimp was also pretty good has a strong spice taste to it. The pho was good enough, we would order takeout from them if ever in the area. Overall was a solid spot and would come again. read more

Pho Ky Dong is a new Vietnamese-owned spot that just opened up in the Tustin area. This spot is located in the same plaza where Cream Pan and Tanakaya are. There are a good amount of parking spots in the plaza. As soon as we saw this spot opened up, wifey and I knew we had to come through to support. We stopped by for lunch around 12pm and were seated right away. Inside, they have a modest setup with a homey feel and about 7-8 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a solid selection of different appetizers, rice, pho, and other noodle dishes to choose from. We opted to try the Pho Dac Biet (Combination Pho) and the Com Tam Thit Nuong (Broken Rice with Grilled Pork). Overall, the food we had was authentic and delicious! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. We are glad that we found another amazing Vietnamese food spot nearby to where we live in Irvine. Pho Ky Dong is Viet gang approved! read more

This place was surprisingly packed on Sunday for lunch! My review is just based on the bun bo hue, the pho I didn't order. We ordered the chicken wings + the BBH. Both items took a while to come out, but people who got pho, did get theirs fairly quick. The chicken wings were good, but the BBH was ok. Obviously we aren't in garden grove for good BBH. read more

Enjoyed the simple chicken pho, which was decent while recovering from the flu. I wish they did give a few dark pieces, instead of all being white chicken breast, but overall the soup was good paired with classic rice pho noodles. Soup was fairly clear which was great for not feeling bloated afterwords, & overall the service was really great. Would love to come back & try their Bun Bo Hue among other dishes! read more

It looked really good. The weather was to hot for me to eat Pho. I'm looking forwardto trying some on another visit. Service and food is great. There's plenty of indoor seating or you can eat outside by the fountain. Ill get food pictures next time when I dine in. read more

Appreciate a mom and pop Viet restaurant that has fair pricing in this area of Tustin. Now I don't have to stick to Sup all the time or drive in the opposite direction to Lake Forest for pho. The pho broth is aromatic and tasty. Service was on the more reserved side and still attentive and polite. I love that it's open relatively early as I like pho best as breakfast/brunch. Will be back! read more

Pho Ky Dong - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Tustin, California

I stopped by Pho Ky Dong this morning with my mom since they were one of the few places open for Thanksgiving near us. We both ordered the chicken pho, and it totally hit the spot on a chilly day. The broth was rich and flavorful--I didn't even feel the need to add fish sauce. The portion was generous, with plenty of chicken and just the right amount of noodles (not too many, which I prefer). There was ample parking, and our food came out surprisingly fast, which was great. When I went up to pay, I noticed they had given us a discount, so our total with tax and tip came out to under $30. A nice little surprise to end a great meal! read more

Very delicious! Thai tea and vermicelli bowl with lemongrass beef. Yummm I'm glad I found this place and will definately be back.

Decent service. I had a major craving for BBH and PhoKy Dong was the closest we could find. Unfortunately, the result was unlike any other BBH I've ever had. Perhaps more authentic or regional, but our two bowls of Bun Bo Hue rivaled Taiwanese Stinky Tofu in stench! I've never had BBH that smelled so strongly. The color was also off. More orange colored. Not very much beef flavor, zero lemongrass flavor. We both finished it, and I don't want to criticize the restaurant if that is just their style. It was just very different than what I'm used to. I feel like the photo will do best to explain/compare. Kids loved their fortune cookies, and finished their pho and pork chops. read more

Pho Ky Dong - Bun Bo hue BBH - Vietnamese Near Me - Tustin, California

Came to try this pho restaurant on a Friday evening, and unfortunately, the experience wasn't ideal. It seemed like they might have been short-staffed, as the wait for food and tables to be cleared was incredibly long. I believe I waited over 20 minutes just for a bowl of pho, and what was more surprising was that our spring rolls arrived after our main dishes. I've eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants over the years, and I've never had the appetizers come out after the entrees before. Hopefully, this was just an off night for them. The food itself was okay. Pho broth lacked flavor and the spring rolls were not rolled tightly and fell apart upon eating. I should have waited in traffic to get pho you-know-where. read more

I got the large pho with 5 types of beef (rare brisket, tendon, tripe and meatballs). Broth is clear, light and slight layer of oil. Spring rolls were freshly made with peanut sauce. It appears they are a bit under staff as a new restaurant. Our food came out after 30 minutes (not typical for a Pho restaurant. Ambiance is casual with both indoor and outdoor seatings. read more

Pho Ky Dong - Large Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Tustin, California

This is an updated review to note my concern about not being checked on last time has been rectified and to add a pro tip. She and I both got the Pho with steak, brisket, and meatball again. As with last time, the Pho was excellent and compared favorably to a highly regarded and popular place in Artesia I used to go to regularly when I worked in the area. We also got the spring rolls, which were excellent. Pro tip: The portions are generous. Consider getting the smaller sized Pho unless you brought a healthy appetite, especially if you want to add spring rolls or egg rolls to the mix. It's a lot of food. Pho Ky Dong is a great addition to the Old Town Tustin dining scene. read more

Outstanding Vietnamese food! I'm Vietnamese so I would say it's not if it was bad. Pho was spot on. I don't think they use any msg bc I didn't get sick after. Pho ap cho was fire! Get it crunchy. They even had a Thai dessert that I love and they made it right. Super kind server. She even told me in Vietnamese to let her know if I needed anything which I have literally never heard a Vietnamese person say to me, like ever. Everything was fresh and delicious. Prices were cheaper than Westminster area and the sales tax is lower in Tustin so I'm so very happy I found this place! Hope it never changes! read more

Best Bun Bo Hue and butter garlic wings I've had in SoCal. I've been on a 5 year journey trying to find a place that could rival my mom's Bun Bo Hue. This is the closest I've ever tasted and the best one yet. Their BBH overflows with deep shrimp paste umami and ample beef. The other star dish was the garlic butter fried chicken wings, which had a finger licking sticky sauce yet still crispy wings. I'd say it's better than Mama Hieu's, which specializes in wings. We also had the pho (good!), but kho (pretty good!), and fish sauce wings (okay). Overall, we will definitely be back. It's as good if not better than anything I've had in Little Saigon. read more

My husband and I have been trying local spots near our house. We're so glad a new Vietnamese spot opened up. Sometimes we don't want to drive to Westminster or GG for good viet food. This place definitely does Vietnamese food well, coming from a Vietnamese person myself :) very flavorful and tastes very authentic. I love that they don't use any red dyes on their pork, I also like that their meats are so tender and juicy. Sometimes Vietnamese restaurants that are not in a Vietnamese area can be a hit or a miss but this is definitely a HIT!! Service was also great, they took our order right away and were quick with bringing our food out. The space is also large so a good amount of tables inside. We will definitely come back! read more

Pho Ky Dong - 8b vermicelli and 22 com tam - Vietnamese Near Me - Tustin, California

Pho Ky Dong is truly a gem! The food here is incredibly fresh, delicious, and clean. Growing up, I remember making trips to Little Saigon just to get good Vietnamese food--and I can honestly say, this is arguably the BEST pho I've ever had. Yes, I said it! I can tell the ingredients are of excellent quality with hearty, generous slices of perfectly cooked chicken. The broth is clean yet deeply flavorful, with an authenticity that's hard to find. Every bite feels like it's made with heart and tradition. The grilled shrimp rice plate was bursting with flavor. The shrimp was marinated delectably and the rice soaked up the yummy sauce. The egg rolls were very filling and delicious cooked to a perfectly crispy texture. I love the vegetables that accompanied this dish. On top of that, they are so generous with their vegetable sides. We had the pleasure of meeting Kai, our wonderful server, who shared that their family used to sell street food back in Saigon before opening their own restaurant here. I love hearing stories like Kai's. I find it so inspiring. It's clear that Pho Ky Dong is a labor of love, and you can taste it in every dish. If you're anywhere nearby (or even if you're not--it's worth the drive!), I highly recommend supporting this wonderful family-run business. The food is unforgettable, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience is authentic from start to finish. Plus, it's conveniently located just off the freeway with plenty of parking--perfect for a delicious stop on the road. Pho Ky Dong has definitely earned a special place in my heart (and my list of favorites)! If only I lived closer I would be here all the time. I'm so grateful I found this lovely establishment from our drive back to LA. read more
