    Heard this place was one of the top places in OC for chicken pho so decided to give it a try. Upon entering all you smell is strong chicken and herb flavors. I was the only one in the restaurant which was surprising since this is such a popular spot. I got the large chicken thigh mien soup and it was simply amazing. I like that they separate the chicken and the noodle soup so the chicken doesn't overcook or lose flavor. Soup was extremely aromatic and strong chicken bone flavor, something I can eat every day. Inside the noodle soup were toasted shallots, bamboo shoots, herbs, 1 piece of pork blood, and plenty of vermicelli noodles. I was not able to finish the noodles because the portion size is really generous. They provide boiled bean sprouts and basil as garnishes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was juicy, flavorful, and still had a little bit of chew for texture. The dipping sauce along with chili paste pairs really well for the chicken. Service was very friendly even though the staff didn't really speak English. The only complaint I had was the spoons were really dirty, but a quick wipe and it was fine. Definitely deserve a 5-star review and further visits!

    First time trying this place and I absolutely love it! Great friendly fast service. I recommend the bean thread chicken pho. It's a bit different from other pho but delicious! This establishment is very clean including the bathroom which is a must! It shows that they care about the environment and the people they serve.

    Best Pho Ga aka Chicken Pho in Little Saigon, hands down! Closes at 3 PM every day so limited hours, but worth it if you can make it. As an OC native, it's been hard to see the pho broth get more and more diluted and flavorless at other spots, so I was thrilled that the broth here is savory, flavorful, and fresh tasting even with just broth and noodle. However, always got to add the lime and some herbs too! The shop is small and service is brusque but that's what makes it authentic ;) PRO-TIP: go with a group and order a half chicken to share and just plain broth and noodles for each person and have some extra in your wallet for dessert after :)

    I've been coming here for years. I always order half chicken with either glass noodle, udon or fresh pho noodles ( they're all delicious ) service is always fast, friendly staff. They are generous with their veggies when you order to go. Perfect meal for breakfast lunch or dinner

    Stopped by on a rainy day here in SoCal. They are well known for chicken noodle soup (and it's very good w/ free range chicken) but today I got beef noodle soup. The broth is simple but deep of favor - not heavy on saltiness or fish sauce (you can add into to your liking) as you go. I got the special combination and it was great. The place only open from 8-3pm daily except Wednesday. They do have rice and udon on top of noodle. The place is small and clean. The owner(s) can be nice or sassy depending on the day, but most of the time she's friendly. The thing I like about this place is that they heavily use cilantros on the broth for natural sweetness and no msg so after you ate, you don't feel heavy or blowed - just my opinion.

    Cơm bị sống Mình hỏi có cơm hay bánh phở để thay cho cơm sống không. Chị chủ nói là sống có chút xíu không đổi được. Mình đành chia lại nửa phần phở của vợ mình anh. Thấy buồn vì nghe được câu trả lời như vậy.

    My sister and I were craving banh canh for breakfast. We both got banh canh dui. The chicken was fall off the bone and their ginger sauce for dipping complemented nicely. The banh canh was really flavorful. I really like their springy noodles. Service was fast and to the point. We had our meal come out in like 5minutes. It was like we were in-then out.

    Highly recommended! So good and I am going back, probably will be regular. The broth is light and flavorful and the noodles is just perfect!

    Chicken was very good if you like "free range" chicken, but broth and pho bowl is simple, heavier use of cilantro than traditional Viet pho.

Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, the staff work hard to keep up with the crowds, and the service is friendly despite how busy they are.

The box came with 7 wings and two scoops of rice and your choice of sauce. We got the Mama Sauce, which was a mayo like sauce.

Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
