    Along with delicious Pho, they have Chinese dishes here too. It's a small restaurant, but there is also patio seating. The beef brisket Pho is excellent with plenty of fatty pieces. It's not served with cilantro though. The fried rice is also very good! You can dine in, take to go, or order through Grubhub. They stopped working with DoorDash, even though it's still the default on their site, they don't use DoorDash anymore.

    Came here for dinner while in the area. Located in a big plaza, there's plenty of parking. The restaurant is pretty small inside but there was no wait when we came. Menus are already on the table. Server was quick in taking orders and bringing out water. We got the beef pho with 3 items ($13.49) and it was a decent portion for the price. Broth is on the sweeter side but still yummy. Service was attentive in refilling water. They give fortune cookies with the check.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Butter Garlic chicken Wings

    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

    Chicken pho
    Yurie H.

    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.

    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

    Bun Thi Nuong! BBQ Pork with Eggrolls
    Em B.

    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.

    Beef stew
    Joelle C.

    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.

    Jocelyn Y.

    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!

    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 ).

    Pho (11.A) with brisket, meatballs, tripe
    Sandy H.

    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!

They also seemed really organized, even clearing the table efficiently & professionally! Very tasty dishes - everything had a rich flavor with each bite, without overpowering your taste buds. You could taste the various ingredients distinctly too, which made me feel like everything was very fresh. Unique brunch menu, I didn't expect the creativity in each dish we ordered! I loved the curry crab omelet, lots of flavor, and the seafood ceviche, very refreshing with a light coconut lime dressing. Will definitely be back again when I'm in the Irvine area...looking forward to trying out more items!

We had a reservation & waited 10-12 min. to be seated after checking in. Once we sat down, we were greeted & handed menus but then got ignored for 20 min. until a guy server came to our table but he only attended to the couple in the corner of our big table which rest of us girls assumed he'd take all of our orders going around the table but nope.. after the couple ordered & received their drinks which was another 15-20 min. so almost an hour w/o water. I raised my hand looking around to see our server w/ another server standing chatting like they're on break until one of the guys from our table called the server over finally! As a former server, I always give grace but it wasn't super busy. All of our food took around 25-35 min. to come out which wasn't bad. I got garlic shrimp noodles & parts of all my shrimps were burnt so only half my shrimps were edible but garlic noodles were delicious. We were able to cut our cake here no charge & pay separately on their portable tab thing the server told us to make it easier to split. Our table wasn't checked on during dinner until I flagged a server to get water refill when we were almost done w/ our food & bday girl asked to bring her cake out. Overall, food was pretty decent not amazing. This location was unprofessional & needs to work on their customer service. The other location's service is way better!

They even offer tongue which I've never ever seen on a menu before except at my mama's house. I ordered just a regular bowl of bún bò huế. They give you so much meat, it's insane. Moreover, they include broth bones where there are still tiny morsels of meat still attached. As of it wasn't already giving my mama's house, you can also find nước mắm on the tables where you can concoct a whole dipping situation. Ten. What really sold me was #23 - tôm chua đu đủ Đặc biệt. It's so simple - fermented shrimp, pork belly, herbs, and some rice. This is my favorite comfort dish. The combination of papaya/shrimp, pork belly, herbs along with a bite of rice is the most perfect bite. Again, I've never ever seen this dish offered at a restaurant so I was absolutely beside myself. Not only do they serve this dish here, you can buy a jar of the tôm chua to go. Okay, bookmark this place and come tomorrow.

    Irvine residents don't need to drive all the way to Little Saigon; Tustin has authentic Vietnamese…read morefood right here. Beef Rib Stick Pho: This is the most highly recommended dish on the menu. Two giant bone-in short ribs stretch across the bowl, packed with flavor and so tender the meat falls right off the bone. A few bonus slices of fatty brisket are also hidden beneath the noodles. Combination Chow Mien: Similar to Cantonese crispy noodles. Loaded with meats and veggies in a light gravy. The top layer softens as it absorbs the sauce, while the bottom stays crispy--a fantastic mix of crunchy and tender textures. Julienne Pork, Egg Quiche, and Charbroiled Porkchops: Huge combo platter. Fresh, crisp veggies--though the side soup leans a bit heavy on MSG. Lychee Delight: Pretty average. Too sweet--needs to be diluted with water. The four lychees at the bottom are dull white and taste purely of sugary canned syrup. 住爾灣的朋友不用大老遠開車到小西貢,塔斯汀就有道地越南菜。 巨無霸牛肋骨河粉:所有菜色中最推薦這道。兩根橫跨碗口、大到連碗都快裝不下,吸飽了湯汁,燉煮夠軟爛,肉塊一咬就從骨上脫落的帶骨牛小排。麵條底部還藏有幾片半肥半瘦的牛胸腹肉。 什錦脆麵:類似廣式兩面黃,盛放各種肉片和鮮蔬,再少許勾芡,上層麵條吸汁變軟,下層麵條仍保酥脆,半濕半脆的口感。 三寶碎米飯:含蒸蛋肉餅,豬皮豬肉絲,和烤豬肉片的菜多量大拼盤。生蔬鮮度不錯,附湯味精有點重。 荔枝冰飲:很一般。飲料很甜需兌水稀釋。杯底含四顆荔枝,果肉呈半透明死白,嚐起來只感單一死甜的罐頭糖水荔枝。

I was craving pho as I usually do and it hit the spot. Pho had a nice beefy broth that was't overly salty and good flavor. Got the large size and it was a generous portion of noodles and meat. As for the rice dish, the charbroiled pork was done well and had a deep bbq flavor that I enjoy. We opted to try the garlic butter rice since that's something different - it was ok and would probably just get the regular broken rice next time. Overall, the food and service was great and I would definitely come back again.

Luckily our friend had put our name down quickly and we were seated upon the rest of our party's arrival within 15 ish minutes. Now that I've tried the food, felt the service, and enjoyed our meal, I can see why it has a line and a high star rating! The service: super friends and accommodating! The place itself is a small/medium size with lots of tables for seating multiple small/medium sizes of parties. We were a party of 5 (4 adults, one baby/toddler with a high chair). I loved how they accommodated my child with their children's menu in addition to providing us with scissors to cut up noodles. Upon stating our allergies, they helped us with food suggestions and limitations. It's honestly the little things that go above and beyond, as well as their friendly service. They weren't overtly checking up on us, and had just the right amount of interaction and help. Food: 3 of us got the beef belly pho and one got the beef rib, my son got a kids mean. Upon receiving our bowls you'd think by looking at the clarity of the broth that it wouldn't be super flavorful, but it absolutely was. It's not overpowering, but the right amount of savory with a hint of sweetness from the added o green onions. Each pho came with the garnishes of basil, lime, and bean sprouts as normal. We did have to ask for small side plates For those who wanted hoisin and sriracha on the side, but not a big deal and quick to get. I'm also a huge fan of the lychee lemonade at vox, which they had here. Not refillable, but still loved it! My son got their chicken nuggets with fries since the pho broth had some sesame oil which he's allergic to, but he loved it. It came in the cutest kid "happy meal" type of box and we used the scissors given to cut the nuggets and a few "washed" noodles. Overall, would love to come again for a great bowl of pho if the wait isn't too long!
