Been coming to Pho VH for a while now and they never disappoint. The pho is always good and consistent every time we come. The broth is always on point and they are super generous with both the portions and amount of meat. One thing that we really appreciate is they give kids a small kids bowl for free, which is such a nice touch for families. Customer service has always been great too. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and checks in without being overbearing. Also have to mention the prices because they are honestly really reasonable for what you get, especially nowadays. Might be one of the best values in all of OC. And don't skip the com tam either. Really good and they load you up with food. 10/10. We keep coming back and definitely will continue coming back. read more

Pho VH - Small Pho VH, super delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

I have been coming here for a couple of years. Needless to say, the consistency in both pho and service keeps me coming. I stick to the Pho VH special with 2 orders of rare steak and 2 well done brisket. The array of toppings they bring out is great too, I always request extra lime and onion for my pho! The restaurant is small, and sometimes you might have to wait during their dinner rush, but I have never waited more than 15 minutes. Only reason I docked a star is due to the fact they revoked their stamp card, which was a reason I came so much and would bring people too - for every 10 pho bowls purchased, you get one free one. That is no longer applicable, to my disappointment. Regardless, I come here around once a month, but would definitely be here more if they brought back the stamp card! read more

Pho VH - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Came here on a Monday around 6pm no wait to be seated. Parking lot in front. Two bathrooms. Inside fairly small but clean. Service was quick. Ordered the pho with meatballs and brisket and thick noodles. Good amount of meat and noodles inside. Side dishes of beans sprouts and warm onion were good and veggies fresh. The homemade sauces on the side were spicy. Thai tea was good too. All in all a solid pho place. read more

Wow, this is our first time trying pho VH and I am so glad we stumbled on this little gem. The pho is absolutely delicious !! Love that they do no MSG and still have such good flavors. The meats were so tender and high quality. My mom had the vermicelli noodle bowl with bbq pork/egg roll and that was equally delicious! We also got the crab soup and that was super yummy as well with lots of crab. I can honestly say this is the best pho I've had in OC and I've been to a LOT of pho places. We can't wait to come back!!! And the owners were so nice and gave great service :) read more

Pho VH - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

This place is a great mom & pop spot located in Fountain Valley with big bowls for the price and it's a great spot for pho on a rainy day. They give you lots of meat and they have plenty of options to choose from. You can choose from thin or thick noodles and they have like 10 different options for proteins. I went with the steak, well done brisket, and fatty brisket with my bowl. I paid $13 and I got my money's worth with all the brisket that was loaded into my bowl. The noodles were well-cooked and the vegetables they brought us were fresh. Service was quick and friendly. The broth was a little on the lighter side for my taste but adding siracha and hoisin sauce helped alleviate that issue. All the meat I had was delicious and it ended up being a good bowl of pho especially while it was raining. The inside is more spacious than I thought it was from the outside and there's plenty of seating available inside. Parking is also easy to find as the lot is fairly large with plenty of spots. This is a great spot if you are craving Pho and want the best bang for your buck. read more

Pho VH - Pho with Tai, Chin, & Gau (Brisket, Steak, & Fatty Brisket) - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Pho VH deserves all the flowers. This is hands down my go-to spot for Vietnamese food, especially for pho and cơm tấm. Every visit starts off strong with super friendly staff who make the experience feel warm and welcoming. The food never misses. You're served a steaming hot bowl of pho with rich, comforting broth, alongside a generous plate of rice and perfectly cooked meat. Portions are very generous, and the meat is always tender and flavorful. One of my favorite details is that they give you vinegar onions, which I love adding to my pho especially when paired with hoisin sauce, sriracha, and a squeeze of lemon. It adds the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and heat. A small touch, but it makes a huge difference. Another big plus is that they don't use MSG, so you leave feeling satisfied without that heavy, tired post-pho feeling. On top of that, you get complimentary herbal tea with every order, which is such a thoughtful and comforting touch. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've tried it all and it's truly all hits, no misses. Pho VH is an underrated mom-and-pop gem that deserves way more love. If you're a pho lover, this place is a must. read more

A very solid restaurant for Vietnamese food. The menu is pretty small, nothing too crazy, but what they lack in variety they definitely make up in quality and price. Service is fine, the waiters are quick to take your order and refill drinks, and the food comes out in a reasonable time. They have complimentary drinks like nuoc mat (herbal tea) and I get that every time - it's not too sweet, and has a slight chrysanthemum flavor. It's around $13-16 per dish, depending on what you're getting, but the serving sizes are good for those prices (especially nowadays with rising costs). Every time I've come here, I'll normally get the com tam suon nuong cha bi and it comes with two whopping pieces of grilled pork chop, some pickled veggies, rice, shredded pork skin, and egg meatloaf. Honestly I've never had any complaints about the food. It's flavorful, hefty, and I could honestly eat half and save the other half for tomorrow's lunch if I was content with being like 70% full. My mom and I did notice during the most recent visit that the meat pieces were smaller for both of us, but it's still a good amount of food. The pho is also very flavorful and has a lot of meat and tendon, and they promote the fact that they 'don't use MSG' in their pho. I'm not a stickler for that, but I know plenty of health conscious older Vietnamese people that would love that. Overall my current go-to spot for com tam or pho. It's a good spot for a basic dinner, or to bring friends and family. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and there's a large TV normally playing vlogs from Vietnam or street food videos. read more

This Pho spot is a true gem and I can't stop coming back. Get yourself a bowl of Pho Tai (Slice Rare Steak) with Banh Tuoi (Thick/Fresh) Noodles. For $14 its a steal because you also get a free herbal tea along with a delicous hot bowl of pho with tender steak. Their broken rice is also solid if you get the #8, but there are better options out there if that's what you're looking for. Service is always fast and efficient. They automatically provide you with pickled onions with your pho without asking which adds a good crunch to your bite. Would highly recommend this place to anyone craving a bowl of pho. read more

This place is a gem. Their broken rice dishes provides huge portion of food. We got the one with pork chops and they gave us 4 pork chops, double the size of normal restaurant. The pork chops are very flavorful and delicious. The service was good too. I just wanted to try the big bone, but it was just an add-on so the waitress recommended me to get a small bowl of pho with the big bone, which was exactly what I wanted. She gave me a pair of scissors to cut the tendons from the bone. It was delicious! Such good value for the food! read more

Pho VH is a solid place for Vietnamese comfort food. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, and it tastes like it has been simmered with care. Portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the service is pleasant. I also appreciate that the place offers three types of fresh herbs along with sliced onions on the side, which lets you adjust the flavor of the bowl the traditional way. Those fresh additions really help bring out the character of the broth. One small issue I noticed was that the noodles had a slightly powdery taste, which can sometimes happen when the noodles aren't rinsed thoroughly before being added to the soup. It wasn't a major problem, but improving that step would make the bowl even better. read more

very cheap, fast and friendly service. I took my food to go and had a quite long drive back to where I live in OC so I had to definitely reheat the base. Give you a free drink as well, not a fan of tea but I believe it is an iced green or black tea. It is really clean inside and looks like it would be a great dining experience read more

Wow $13 pho and com tam ($12 when I went a few weeks ago, but someone posted the new menu and it is $13 now). I still think that's a great deal considering the HUGE portion they give you. We went on a Friday night and the place was packed but we got seated right away. Food came out fast. Everything tasted good. Service was great. I got pho (can choose up to 4 meats) and I selected tai, chin, bo vien. My friend got soup cua and com tam suon bi cha. The portion was huge. We couldn't finish our food. I was really hungry but I still couldn't finish the pho by myself. If you are not hungry, you can easily share one meal with another person. My friend really loves the crab soup. I didn't get to try the com tam here but I've had the com tam from the Com Tam VH food truck so I'm assuming it is similar taste which I really love. read more

Called in to order take out, was craving some broken rice. I ordered the special combo which comes with pork rib, pork chop, pig skin and veggies. Portions were good size, you get 2 pork chops and flavors were good 5/5. You also get a side of soup and got a small free tea drink. Service was good and food was well packed, definitely need to come back for the pho! read more

The menu is simple but so good. Everything was tasty. The phos(rib pho, ox tail) was my favorite. The broth was excellent and each bowl was full of meat. The service was quick and friendly. Free herbal tea and refills too. Highly recommend. read more

Right from the front door you know you're walking into something authentic. The place is clearly busy, which always signals you're on the right track. The focus here is the pho, and it delivers. The broth may skip the MSG, yet it still brings serious flavor depth. You can taste the care in balancing the aromatics and the sweetness of the beef stock, and it leaves you impressed that they managed so much without leaning on additives. Ask for the crushed red chilis on the side. They make a big difference if you like a little heat and want to personalize your bowl. The portion size is generous, especially the meat. Plenty of brisket, flank, or whatever the selection happens to be. It's satisfying without feeling heavy. A clear sign of authenticity is that they serve sawtooth herb along with the usual basil and bean sprouts. That extra touch elevates the experience and shows they know their craft. The com tam is fine but not the star of the show here. The egg rolls, on the other hand, are excellent. The skin comes out blistered just right, and the filling is mostly meat rather than filler. That kind of attention is exactly what you want when you try something off the main menu. The crowd is consistent and the energy is high. A packed dining room adds confidence that you're not just in a good spot, you're in a popular one for a reason. The atmosphere is casual, unpretentious, and focused on doing what they do well. If you're looking for a pho spot where you get serious flavor, solid portions, authentic herbs, and service that keeps up with the kitchen, Pho VH is a strong choice. Bring your appetite, ask for the chilis, and you'll walk out impressed. It's always busy for a reason. read more

Based on the name, I think it's pretty safe to assume this place specializes in pho. But this spot that feels family owned and operated, located in a strip mall, actually has a menu with pretty good variety including a lot of other offerings of Vietnamese comfort food as well. When I came in, I was greeted and helped by some very kind folks. I was able to sit right away. Being my first visit I was definitely going to get the pho. I ordered a bowl with rare beef slices and well done brisket (what I usually get at most pho places). The broth was very tasty and really hit the spot. I also love that they give you a side of onions soaked in vinegar, steamed sprouts, and the usual greens and limes. Just a really great place and I definitely wanna come back to try some of the other menu items. read more

Setting is not fancy. Food, service, and value are well worth visiting and returning to. The crab soup is hearty and full of good stuff (quail eggs, crabmeat, thousand year old egg). No MSG. read more

Wow the portion sizes are huge and a bowl of pho only cost like ~$12 with a free drink? Solid deal - the portion is like a large, there's a ton of every kind of meat, meat balls were delicious, soup was deep and rich, vegetables were fresh, they even give cut white onion without being asked. The com tam pork chop was thick and meaty, all the food tasted quite fresh. Com tam was just missing that essence of charcoal but otherwise it was great. Really friendly service, party of 4 with 1 baby and they pushed together two tables to give us more space - when the restaurant filled for lunch they just seated a party of 1 next to us to let us keep the space. Clean interior, spacious. read more

Our go-to for com tam for portion size. The quality of the meats is tasty, while the marinade for the pork chop is a bit too sweet and can be more charred, it still hits the the spot. Also love the pickles that come with each platter. Great for the value read more

Such a cozy place! It reminded me of when my parents had their restaurant, so I really feel for the smaller Vietnamese restaurants.

I was running errands in the area and stopped by here for lunch. Had the noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls. Food was fresh and tasty. The meat was perfectly marinated and not overly salty and they gave a fair amount of meat. Egg rolls can use a bit more meat for filling though. I also ordered the crab soup to go but have not eaten it yet since I also bought a bunch of other foods to eat for the evening. Service was good and everyone was nice and pleasant. Reasonable prices. Will be back with family. read more

Pretty good Vietnamese food. Ordered the Crab Soup, Pho Tai, and Bun Thit Nuong with grilled pork and egg rolls. The crab soup was my favorite. It reminds of Chinese crab maw soup but with more flavor. It also came with a thousand year egg which I loved and a lot of soft crab pieces. This dish was delicious and I highly recommend it. Their Pho Tai is also good. The meat was soft and tender. The soup met the standards of what you'd expect a pho soup to taste like but better than average. The Bun Thit Nuong was good. The grilled pork was sweet and savory and was well charred for that bit of smokiness. The egg roll was well crisped. It also came with fried pork rinds which were crunchy and quite tasty. Overall, this place has pretty good Vietnamese food and would recommend it. The servers here are also very friendly. I also heard they are affiliated with the Com Tam Food Truck (XE Com Tam VH) which also has one of the best tasting com tam I've ever had. read more

Small hidden gem in a gym plaza. Their entrees are a great value for $12. I like how the pho is very customizable. You can choose if you want thin or thick noodles and choose up to 4 meat options. The com tam is decently sized, too. They also serve free iced teas. There's plenty of parking. There aren't that many tables, so seating large parties inside may be difficult. read more

Absolutely THE BEST & MOST AFFORDABLE PHO RESTAURANT OF THE OC!!!!! Guys I ain't lying nor marketing for them, but 13$ PHO+TAX at around 14$ just for a COMBO PHO or 14$+TAX for 2 HUGE BEEF RIBS PHO or 15$+TAX for 3 PIECES OF OXTAIL (1 HUGE & 2 SMALL BONES) PHO?? I can guarantee almost NO OTHER place beat that! Service was over all very nice! Only cons I have are something we had to sit way in the back by the toilet/washroom/bathroom...I don't mind doing that since it's just a table & there's cover as well. Then sometimes when they are super packed, your pho will arrive a bit later(approx 10 min waiting time) & normally it arrives within 2-5 min! But that's ok! I'm fine waiting for 10 min when it's busy! Then I like the fact they gave us a sweet rice tea after we ordered another pho for takeouts! Thanks friends! We will be back! read more

if you're in oc, chances are you've heard of "xe com tam vh" -- and this spot is ran by the same people! serving up a limited menu, they've definitely perfected every bit of it to have the place filled with aunts and uncles both dining in and waiting in line. very tell-tale of the food!! the interior is a little worn and small, but it only adds to its "hole-in-the-wall"charm. every order comes with free & refillable nước mát (artichoke + pandan leaf tea), that's both refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser. for just $12, the pho came in a huge bowl loaded with so much meat. the broth was rich yet clean, with the perfect balance of savory and salty -- it even got high praise from my viet parents! a very VERY solid and comforting bowl of pho i recently visited their cơm tấm food truck not too long ago and loved it, so we had to order one at the restaurant as well! again, portion is incredibly generous and you get 2 huuuge pieces of sườn (bbq pork chop)! definitely don't get this kind of bang for your buck in the 626 everything was so good, perfectly seasoned, and so satisfying! highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Pho VH is honestly my favorite pho spot in the area! It has the closest flavor to the pho I used to have in Saigon, rich flavor and full of toppings. The rare beef is incredibly tender, and they give plenty of fresh herbs to enjoy alongside the bowl. Their Cơm Tấm is also amazing, the grilled pork is, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Another dish that keeps me coming back! One thing I really love is that every order comes with a complimentary refreshing drink, which is such a nice touch. I get pho to-go from here almost every week, and it never disappoints. If you're craving authentic, flavorful Saigon-style pho, this place is definitely worth trying! read more

Pho VH - Togo hơn là bỏ - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

first time to this store. i think there was another store here before that i have tried. i dont remember what it was. this is a new store and we tried it out. so far i have to say it was good with all the catagories. parking; lots of parking and a great spot. i am happy to see that a family vietnamese store didnt stick to the traditional location of bolsa or garden grove. not enough authentic places in hb. food; i liked it. i ordered the com tam bi cha. should have even added the egg but didnt think about it at the time. **they didnt skimp out on the meat. i loved that!!! all these other places will give a ton of rice (which is cheaper) and skimp on the meats. this place will give you a face full of meat. and the meat was good. not tough. the fish sauce was good. thats what makes it or breaks it. using traditional ingrediants and real asian chili is a must. i would encourage them to allow fresh chili for customers tho. we are always wanting the true essance of the texture as well as taste. **they give free drinks, not just tea. A++ for them. in case your curious, many asian restaurants started charging for drinks like tea and even water. ill call out any of them for doing that. it should be like this place. service; it was good and polite. they didnt give me a side eye if i asked for a refill of my free drink and wanted more napkins or chilli. this is how it should be. price; not bad for what i got. it didnt break the bank and i was full. location; again, i liked how they picked a place away from bolsa and gg. not hard to find. i dont usually give out 5 stars but if they keep it up ill keep it as a 5 star. new american and traditional asians should try them out. ill be back again. read more

Wow! The Pho VH menu item is flavorful, meaty, and a great deal for $12! The ratio of meat to noodle is impressive. It comes with fresh veggies that are crisp and cold. What sets this restaurant apart from other pho restaurants are the cooked bean sprouts and pickled onions that come automatically with the greens. Free drinks are offered. I chose the herbal tea which is very refreshing! The reason I didn't give them a 5 is the customer service. Although the staff are kind and welcoming they don't come by to refill your drinks or ask if you need anything else after you initially order and they deliver the food to the table. There's minimal interaction which some customers can view as a positive aspect. In addition, there is a sign displaying gender neutral restrooms but the doors are labeled by gender. Inside the women's restroom the toilet paper sat above the empty toilet roll holder and a roll of paper towels sits above the automatic towel dispenser. I came in around lunch time so I interpret that as staff don't frequently freshen the restrooms or that attention to detail is not important to check prior to opening the restaurant for the day. Overall food is amazing and super cost effective. There was no wait when I arrived but there was a wait when I left. Staff are great about cleaning the empty tables timely and accommodating guests asap. I will definitely be back to try other dishes. The restaurant counter fulfills many takeout orders which is a good sign the food is good. Utensils are single use chopsticks and sauce containers. Tables have Sriracha, hoisin sauce and fish sauce. Drinks are served in plastic cups. read more
