This is the best late night pho experience in Orange County, without a doubt. They're open very late and I've never had an issue with it being too crowded, they're very quick with the service as well. There's a lot of places around there that are open late, but I strongly recommend this place ! It has a very calming atmosphere and the food is incredible. read more

Our friend who is familiar with the area introduced us to Pho Lu and showed us their favorite dishes to order there. Since then, we've gone back and taken our parents and ordered the exact same dishes. For appetizer, we start off with spring rolls with grilled shrimp paste on sugar cane (#36 - chao tom). They give you the option to wrap them yourself or for them to wrap them for you. Tip: you get more food when you ask to wrap them yourself. Also, it's quite fun! Their oxtail pho (#17) is quite worth it because the oxtail comes in a separate bowl and you get a lot of meat. It's so tender and perfectly cooked. The most unique dish that we ordered here is the panfried rice noodles with seafood/beef (#81 - pho ap chao). This is so delicious! You get little triangles of fried crispy noodles that you can dip in the gravy in the middle. We ordered the seafood one and the sauce is on point and it's very generous in portion. I've never had this dish before and it reminds me of the Cantonese-style crispy noodle dish, but I enjoy this one even more because of the thickness of the noodles and the balance between crispy and soft. You have to come here just to try this dish! In terms of eating at the restaurant, the tables are a bit smaller with less room for your legs, and the lighting can be pretty dim if you are eating there for dinner, but it's pretty standard for a pho place. read more

All the time we have a great food with the same delicious taste, one of the best pho around gg, they have a really good drinks, and also a good costumer service! read more

I can here after a strenuous workout where I felt like I was famished. It was 12:30 am and this was one of the few pho places that was actually open! I was seated immediately and the service was super quick. I ordered the pho with rare and medium beef along with tendons. My food arrived within 5 minutes. The ambiance inside was very lively and place was clean. Parking was busy yet I was able to bag a spot. Definitely recommend this place to all pho lovers out there. It's a great post workout meal. read more

Decided to have dinner with a friend here. We were seated quickly. I always get pho with chicken. Eggs rolls were a must. I love egg rolls. We placed our order and got our order quickly. Would definitely recommend this place. The service was okay. Was not aware we had to pay at the register but found out by observing someone else. It was chill and I would definitely come back again. read more

Hungry late at night after spending 10 hours at Knott's Berry Farm. Happy to have found this place on Yelp. I ordered Oxtail Pho with extra meat balls and vegetarian egg rolls. Boyfriend ordered Bun with grilled pork. Food came out fast. Pho broth was tasty. Vegetarian egg roll was surprisingly yummy. Grilled pork was soft and delicious. The place only accepts cash or debit card. read more

Pho Lu - Oxtail Pho (Large size) - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I do not recommend the egg noodles or wontons here. Had to send my bowl of wonton soup back for a bowl of pho and it was much better.

This place has the best Pho, very authentic. Their crispy noodles with beef was good too. Definitely my to go Pho place.

This place is open hella late and it seems like a rly busy & popular spot cus it was poppin when I came in at 10:30 pm We ordered the pho tai + meatballs, large bun bo hue, egg rolls and spring rolls Everything was hella bomb, the pho is definitely fire. There's regular, medium and large size, i got a regular pho and it seemed more like a small so I guess be aware of that The eggrolls were rly tasty, I liked how it came with the lettuce, mint, pickles & cucumbers The spring rolls were good but there's just shrimp no other meat inside, the peanut dipping sauce is the DANKEST I've ever had before... srsly so delicious The bunbohue was good, I liked that the soup wasn't too strong or crazy in flavor but it was still rly good nonetheless read more

I got to try some Oxtail pho from here and it was pretty good. My husband's coworker bought me& the hubby some, because we LOVE me some pho. He wanted us to try this spot, because he said it's one of his favorite pho places. I have to say it was pretty good. Broth had good flavor and the Oxtail was super tender. Noodles were fresh and tasty. They were very generous with everything especially for it to be takeout/ To-go. read more

Pho came out in less than a minute, it is a mind altering experience with the pho let me tell ya. It made my toes curl and ascend to a higher being. I will be back here and pray that I can experience this every time I come in. It's now been twice my toes have been curled. read more

This place has been the vibe since before I was in elementary school. The food is delicious. Authentic Vietnamese dishes with plentiful variety and flavor! It doesn't get better than that. The prices are still wonderful. Service is good as always. I've been here at all times, and there's always people. Even during the AM. Will be the forever spot. I've gone here all my life and had every dish. I mean, it doesn't get more authentic than this... so... read more

Food was not bad overall. Noodle portions are relatively small. The service was mid and as well as lady walking around trying to sell me a bouquet of flowers while I'm eating. Someone should manage the restrooms. It shouldn't smell that bad as well as the floor being all wet and gross, toilet was a mess, overflowing trash bin that obviously hasn't been emptied in a while, and empty paper towel dispenser. At least the sink was ok! 3/5 Experience, if only judging by food, it is not bad. read more

What a lovely late night pho joint. We love having an option outside of a drive thru. We industry workers need some hot soups sometimes too. Service is friendly and very fast. Will be adding this to our late night rotation. Happy eating! read more

Came here with the bf tonight after we tried going to pho 79 and phoHolics, which both hand lines on a Saturday night out the door. No wait here. Booth seating. Choice in size bowls worked perfectly. I ordered a small/regular bowl and bf ordered medium sized pho. I asked for wide noodles (not on the menu, but they have, which is nice). Regular noods aren't as good so if you can find a place that does wide noodles, go for it. I like that the lighting is soft and not eye seating fluorescent like some places do. Would come back again: parking isn't that bad compared to the other places either. No credit cards taken. Debit only with minimum purchase of $15. Extra star back on for their extended business hours. Holy smokes, 1am pho?! Pretty cool. read more

I love their shrimp pho. Only complain is that they don't give me enough lemon even when I ask. I need a lot of lemon for large bowl!

Decent place that is open late for pho. The wait can be long, especially since they are one of the only ones open late for pho. It will satisfy your cravings for the time being, but I do think there are much better places for pho in the area. However, I like that they offer 3 bowl sizes because not all pho places do that. read more

If I could give this pho place a 10 stars I would!!! My ultimate favorite pho to come to and they close super late which is a plus for people like me that get off work late... Super flavorful and service is on point read more

Super fast service. You never have to wait for your food more than 10 minutes. And the food is delicious and broth is always boiling hot !!

As stated, this restaurant has "vegan options" the only two options are tofu egg rolls and tofu spring rolls. Just like many others stated, we called to make sure they had vegetarian pho. Their "pho rau ba dau hu " is really misleading with stating their vegetable pho has tofu, it has "vegetable broth or beef broth"???? We called to verify that the vegetarian pho option existed before going. However we got there and ordered but server said there is no vegetarian options, they don't even make the vegetarian broth???? I also ordered a pho bo vien, but only got to meatballs cut in half?? When I went to the restroom the server also stopped me to pay. I was just trying to enjoy my food and sit down, not getting rushed to leave. Keep in mind it was 11am and there was only like three parties in the shop, yet I felt pushed to leave. read more

Came in for the famous oxtail pho but they were out of it. I chose the tai chin pho instead. It was good. I thought it was a little on the salty side but the large bowl was indeed large. The service was fine. This is probably one of the nicer looking restaurants you will find in Little Saigon as far as noodle eats. I'd come here again later on. read more

This place never dissapointed me. I usually get the Combo pho or their ox tail pho, but tonight I was in the mood for an egg noodles. So I got the egg noodle w/ wonton & bbq pork with extra meatballs, and Soup on the side (dry soup) The broth is good, refreshing, not salty.. just perfect for my egg noodle soup. I also ordered fresh OJ, but this time I think they put soda water, because u can tell there's a fizz when u drink it. Usually is not like that.. so I wasn't sure why this time. Overall, is a good place to eat, when u looking for a comfort Vietnamese food. They also have rice dishes, which I also love!! read more

Pho was good, I got the chicken pho & the chicken was tender and juicy. They weren't that generous with their chicken but they were very generous with the bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, Thai basil, green onions, hoisin and a sriracha bottle at each table. The ambiance was busy but not crazy. Went around 6pm on a Wednesday evening. The fried veggie egg rolls were delicious and they have pork ones too. They also have the peanut sauce with the shrimp spring rolls. read more

First time here in such a long while before the pandemic. Before the pandemic, my close friend love this place and praise it a lot. This pho place is located in Westminster and Brookhurst...next to a Vietnamese karokee place. Parking is horrible so be prepare to wait. Inside looks decent and staff is wearing mask and there are protective glass on certain tables. Menu have a variety of food and drink selections. You could pay with your debit card (with a $10 minimum purchase at least I think) but no credit card. You could do separate checks. So here are the cons: it took 13 minutes (I timed it) after placing a order for the Pho Dac Biet (special beef combination). It wasn't that busy and it was less than an hour before closing. Portions have been cut down. Broth is average. Didn't bother to ask for more water (because the staff will only refill your water if you ask them to) Overall, it could have been better. what happen to this place? read more

Poor service they take only debit card.... and so slow service the server doesn't have customer service. he doesn't care us read more

Have gone here a few times but never gotten the chance to post a review; mainly bc I'm lazy AMBIENCE: I went this time during late evening time, around 8:45-9pm, and the place was filled with people! I loved the ambiance and the moment there even though I ordered for to-go. The intimate lighting and the decors were kinda of unexpected for a Pho place and I love them for it. You can definitely see people enjoying their conversations and their time there. SERVICE: Waiters are mostly young guys in their early 20's. Super hard working waiters and friendly. I was greeted right away when I walked it to get my order taken care of FOOD: 7/10. Mainly bc of the portion vs price ratio. However, the quality is up-to-par for a Pho Specialty place to sell Com Tam good enough to satisfy your late night com tam cravings 4/5 stars overall!!! - 1 star deduction bc of the old guy, I think manager of the place/person who helps run the restaurant, was being mean and unprofessional to one of the young servers in front of the customers. The waiter/server did his best to hand over one of the pickup order but there were some confusion and the old guy was pretty pressed about it. I don't see any reason for getting so worked up; especially being in the service industry and holding a reputable position of the place ‍ SUMMARY: Good food, alright portion, friendly and fast service, and good ambiance read more

Pho Lu - Com tam Tau Hu Ky with thịt nướng. Order #90 on the menu (I think) - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Our go-to spot for late night pho. Came at around 1am and it was packed. We normally go to Pho 101 in HB during normal hours. I'm not sure I truly appreciated the pho here until we had this then Pho 101 the night right after. It's night and day.. the flavor, noodles, and meat are just all so SO much better tasting here. read more

Pho Lu - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Late night Vietnamese food on Westminster Blvd! Pho Lu was such a popular and crowded place that every time I drove by, I saw groups of people standing and waiting outside of the restaurant. I have tried their take-out Pho in the past year, and it was full of MSG that made my head hurt for half of the day. So I decided to stay away from this place for a while. Fast-forward to 2022, I wanted to come back in person to try other items on their menu to see what was new. We had the seafood rice noodles and char siu egg noodles. I had to say they taste better, lighter, and with a lot less MSG than the last time I had food here. Everything on the dining table was organized, and the veggie plate they gave us was fresh and clean. Prices were ok, not too expensive. Service was mediocre. I guess the staff were just having a bad day when I came. Parking could be a little difficult during dinner rush hours, since they share the lot with other popular eating places in the area. read more

It's basic pho. Too much competition and I've had better pho. Liked that it's open late, otherwise it's not a big deal.

Used to be my fav pho spot. Open late, perfect but the service is terrible and it just grosses me out every-time. Wish it was what it used to be. Also, a lot of rats on the patio read more

When it comes to pho lu-k nowhere else. This spot is great! Pho Lu-res you in w a great menu and best of all late hours!! You still find it hard to get a table if you come in after 1am. Tons of people flock here because it's delish and open late night! This last time I got the shrimp and crab soup. I think number 68? I honestly can't remember the number. But it was ok. It had everything it needed: crab! Fresh crab! Also shrimp! It was just missing flavor. So it was just meh. But the pho never disappoints. I do wish it was cheaper but they do accept credit card which is a plus because some of us never have cash :( read more

Second time back here but first time during COVID. They open at 8, we came at 8:25 and the tables were not set up yet. We had 5 adults and a baby in our household. Their biggest table was the 6ft table but it was in the sun. So we crammed into the 2X4 table and made it work. I tried the mi hoanh thanh xa xiu (egg noodle wonton char siu). It was the first dish to come out, before the pho and the pho ap chao. I would recommend to stick to what they're known for which is pho. The egg noodle was over cooked, the char siu had no flavor and was probably frozen prior, the wonton skin quickly broke apart and the broth was not tasty. What also got me concerned was that they handed us paper take out menu and I might be wrong but it looked like they reuse it. I also thought due to COVID, that they don't hand out the hoisin sauce and saracha bottles and it had to be given in individual containers. But this was not the case. It's as if pandemic didn't happen and outdoor dining was the norm. read more

If you enjoy authentic Vietnamese Pho, this is the spot to go! Can't speak for everything on the menu but the Pho has always been phenomenal here. The broth is just heavenly ~ Noodles are soft but not mushy!!! Veggies fresh , and sauces always full! Nice to know that they take the time to re-fill sauces at least cause I know some places don't really do that! The little things always matter and go a long way. read more

I don't give a five star review often, but this spot is a treasure. The menu has something for everyone, and the Pho is consistently delicious! My boyfriend and I have been dining here weekly for a year or so, and we can't stress enough how much we love this place!! It's good, fast, well-priced, and open late. We usually order the #8 with egg rolls(to die for ) and a lemonade soda, and this has quickly become a comfort meal!! Recently, I had a large party and our food started coming out before we were done ordering. The servers definitely go above and beyond to make sure your order is correct and brought out quickly. After every visit we leave so satisfied and literally start craving Pho Lu again a few days later. Shout out to the team at Pho Lu, you guys rock!! read more
