    Bún thịt nướng chả giò #33. Pork and Egg Roll Noodle Salad
    Linda V.

    Was at the library and decided to pick up food for family on my way home. Other half ordered online and I picked up the order. As soon as I walked in the staff asked if I ordered for online pick up. How did you guess? Do I not look like someone who eats alone? lol Son had the pad see ew with chicken (it's obvious this Asian fusion is meant to appeal to the demographic that may not know this isn't a Vietnamese dish - the concept works). I had my usual of the vermicelli with grilled pork and egg roll. Not bad but not the best I've had so not sure why someone commented it was the best they've had outside Vietnam. I've never left the United States but I can tell you pho lovers 3 makes a better version of the #33 here. Sucks that person's review hyped up my expectations. Parking was easy. Staff is nice. I ate at pho lab 3 years ago so was surprised this place literally opened 3 doors down which is kind of wack. Regardless I don't have any loyalty to either and decided to try this place to see if they're any better. I will continue going to pho lovers 3 for more authentic Vietnamese food if I want to stay within the confines of HB.

    We tried Pholiscious for the first time yesterday. The establishment was clean, including the restrooms. Service team was friendly and welcoming. We appreciated that the servers were attentive and responded to requests quickly. Large parking lot with free parking. Food - We ordered three dishes, shrimp spring rolls, rare steak pho and chicken pad thai. The shrimp spring rolls consisted of three rolls cut in half for six pieces. Ingredients were fresh and the pieces of shrimp were good size and average price. The rare steak pho came out already cooked (no pink), broth was good, good protein portion. We order a side of veg priced at $4, not sure that the potion size and mix warranted the price. We also ordered the pad thai no peanuts due to severe food allergy. The dish came out with peanuts and needed to be sent back. It was re-fired and delivered quickly, however, the noodles were mushy, the sauce was unusually sweet and too much sauce for me personally. Pho bowl prices are slightly under nearby competitors by approximately $2. This restaurant does not offer size selection on bowl size. If we eat here again, we will avoid the thai dishes.

    It bewilders me that two amazing Pho spots can exist in the same city that isn't Westminster/Garden Grove...let alone the same parking lot. But here we are. Pholuscious serves some amazing fusion and traditional eats. Their Pho Dac Biet was delicious. Alot of tendon. The Tai was surprisingly tender and I was disappointed that there wasn't more of it. Came in close to opening on a Monday and it was pretty empty. Perfect time to come and try for my first time. Service was great. Inside was clean. Sprouts come pre-boiled. This may or may not be of concern to you. I know friends from both camps (boiled vs. raw) Broth had a lot of favor. The main reason for 5 stars. Not too oily. Not too salty. Just right. The stone bowl is a nice touch. I thought it was a gimmick at first, but my last spoon of soup was still very warm. I'm a believer. Would love to come back in and try their chicken wings and maybe some vermicelli. But add this to the roster if you're in the area, and craving pho. Open late too which is amazing! Really wish this was closer to Irvine.

    Accompaniments.

    In the mood for late-night pho, we ended up at Pholuscious. There is another pho restaurant in the same plaza so I wonder how they compete! The restaurant was large and very pretty inside. The service was attentive and the menu was large. Prices fair, around $13-15/bowl. We ordered beef and chicken pho, all of which were served in hot stone bowls. Admittedly, I was expecting the soup to arrive boiling but it was just hot. While it did stay hotter than other pho restaurants, it was a bit of a let down. The pho itself was tasty but nothing mind-blowing. Overall, it was a solid meal and I appreciate that the restaurant is open until midnight.

    We here.

    DANG!!! WOW WOW!! Best place for pho ! Delicious broth, omg! Service was TOP TIER! Our server even gave us suggestions for next time! Music was better than any club I've been in. It felt like someone was "in the mix" the whole time because , I was hearing some very creative mashups and it was impressive! The songs were ACTUALLY being mixed ! We couldn't believe it. We going back very soon !

    Service was quick and the place was very clean. Food came out just as fast as the server taking my order. Everything was great. Food was flavorful and portions were generous. I'm very picky about my Vietnamese cuisine and this restaurant made the cut.

    Food was very good. 5 STARS! Shawn was super helpful and a great waiter. Would highly recommend.

    Highly recommend this place for Pho! Their service, environment and food is 10/10. There are only a few spots I've been to in OC that come close to this place! Come try it out for yourself!

    "The pho was flavorful, fresh, and comforting. The broth had a rich taste, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a great spot for authentic pho and I'll be coming back again!"

    Amazing food! Amazing service from Shawnlucious Totally recommend the beef spring rolls.

    Update 1/18:26 Pholuscious is the place to go for lunch, dinner, or late night snack. You cannot go wrong if you're out for a late and stop in for a snack of chicken wings and spring rolls. Or something more filling like the variety of Pho or rice plates, etc. they have in their menu. Everything we have ordered here has been excellent. I would recommend giving Pholusciius a try for excellent Vietnamese confused food.

    Is this my new fave pho place?? Omg!!
    Janney A.

    Definitely my favorite pho restaurant. I used to be a fan of Pho 101, but this place is now my #1. The food is delicious, they're open late & the service is always great! I always order #12, well done brisket. My boyfriend always gets #8, build your own. The broth is savory, the meat tastes good, it's nice, thin, tender and lean. It's not as fatty as other places, which is a plus for me. The veggies are fresh, the vinegar onions are actually good and yummy. They have all the sauces you need, including the chili oil. The stone pot maintains the broth nice and warm. There's plenty of tables/seats. All the workers are nice & friendly. Shout out to John, he always helps us out. They open at 10am and close till 12am, which is great because sometimes we eat late at night.

    I've been going to Pho HP off and on for a few years now…read more It is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in my general area. If i lived closer, i would definitely go more often. It is family owned. It is located in a strip mall in Huntington Beach at the corner of Beach and Main. A very busy intersection. There is parking in front of the restaurant. They have a handicap ramp. The interior design is modern and simplistic. Everyone is always friendly and we Love Amy the owner. Although, we have been missing her over the past couple of visits. When you walk in, you'll get seated right away and the server will bring you a glass bottle of Alkaline water. Nice touch! The menu is simple and on point. They offer all the main traditional Vietnamese dishes. For starters, we ordered the crispy veggie egg rolls which comes with 4 egg rolls, the summer rolls with shrimp which also comes in 4 pieces. As a main course, we got 2 shrimp pho's with vegan broth (yes they brought back the vegan broth) Thank you Amy It is light and goes really well with the shrimp. Make sure to add lots of fresh basil for a flavor boost. And we also got the house garlic prawns which comes with either steam rice or garlic noodles as well as steamed brocoli. Everything is delicious. The Pho noodle soup is a must. It is available with different meats and broths with option of thick or thin rice noodles. In my opinion, It is the best. And i believe that most people go there specifically for their Pho. That is what got me hooked. Overall Pho HP is always a great experience and we will be back again soon. I highly recommend Pho HP.

    ORDERS: - Golden Pear Salad…read more - Garlic Chicken Wings - Ribeye Hot Pot Pho - Filet Mignon Garlic Noodles - Short Rib Pho - Filet Mignon Rice Everything was super tasty and well flavored! The salad had a nice balance of tangy, fresh, and savory. I liked how they added burrata to it. Wings were perfectly seasoned, garlicky, and crispy on the outside just how I like it. Their phos were delicious and so comforting. The broth is on the darker side, but it still tasted light and not too fatty. They use the thick noodles which is a plus. The garlic noodles were yummy and garlicky. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked on the medium rare side. Staff were friendly and helpful! Clean and modern space too.

It wasn't that busy yet but after a few minutes, large group of people started showing up. We did have a reservation prior. The cafe is really nice, pretty big and spacious. All of the staff are really nice. We ordered 3 appetizers and 1 main dish to share. I love getting their cloud matcha latte, it has this sweet and salty earthy taste that I love. My bf got the marble coffee, he said it was pretty good as well. Then we had calamari, spicy wontons and THE DAO. Calamari was plentiful in serving, comes with a sauce and I really liked their sauce, it has citrusy taste. The spicy wontons are a crowd favorite as well for me. It definitely puts it on the top spot of spicy wontons I've tried from other spots. THE DAO (yes, it needed the caps lock on the name), this is my top appetizer from this cafe. The first time I tried it, I was craving it for a while. Some people might say it's a simple appetizer, but for me it's the taste and flavor that put it on the top spot. For the main dish we had Xo Chien, it's a crispy rice with pork floss, egg, chinese sausage. It's a delightful dish, and the flavor and texture is pretty nice as well. My bf loves this dish. Definitely recommend going here for a brunch. Can't wait to come back and try their menu for lunch and dinner.

    Back Again... and Somehow This Fusion Spot Still Hits!…read more Came here for breakfast with my girlfriend, and this is one of those spots I somehow end up visiting about once a year. Usually, when you revisit a restaurant after some time, you start noticing the quality slipping a little... but nope. This place has officially hit FOUR times in a row! Dry Bun Bo Hue -- $21 | 8.8/10 Although it says "dry," there's actually about 2 tablespoons of broth hiding at the bottom, and LET ME TELL YOU... that sauce is where the magic happens! It has this amazing sweet, spicy, slightly sour aroma that coats every noodle and pairs so well with the chopped beef. The noodles were cooked perfectly, too. I haven't had this since last June, so I was definitely a happy girl. Just squeeze a whole lemon over the top and BOOM--perfection! Squid & Mango Salad -- $16 | 8.5/10 So fresh and refreshing! The squid wasn't overly cooked or rubbery, and the mango had just the right amount of sweetness. Add in the peanuts, pickled veggies, herbs, and that sesame cracker for some crunch... and YES PLEASE! Such a fun combination of flavors and textures. Bun Ca -- $17 | 7/10 My girlfriend ordered this one, and I had to sneak a bite, of course. It's a fish noodle dish that was good, but I felt like it was missing that extra flavor element to really make it pop. Since this is a newer dish, I can definitely see them tweaking it and making it even better! Mango Sticky Rice -- $9 | 7.8/10 A little sweeter than my personal preference, but that purple sticky rice with the creamy sauce and fresh baby coconut?! DIVINE. The combination was seriously delicious--I just wish it had been slightly less sweet. And shoutout to Thomas, our waiter, who was so sweet and kind and took great care of us! What I love most is that I'm not even a huge fan of fusion food, yet somehow this place continues to impress me every single time I come back. Four visits later and they're still holding their own! Definitely one of my favorite spots, and if you're curious about their other concepts, definitely check out their other restaurants too! Beautiful ambiance and decor. Happy EATS!

Drinks and food were both good, worth the wait. Chicken Wings -crispy and light, chicken was soo juicy. We loved the raw minced garlic sprinkled over top. Saltado Fries (w/ Filet Mignon)- Sauce/glaze they used to stir fry the dish was just the right amount of sweet and stickiness. Something about their green sauce is so addicting. Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly, we ordered it medium. Chifa Fried Rice (with Filet Mignon)- fried rice had plenty of wok heat aroma. Next time if we ordered both the fried rice and saltado fries, we might opt for a different protein rather than both being Filet Mignon. Garlic Butter Prawns -shrimp had the perfect snap and cooked perfectly. Sauce paired well with the rice, rich and decadent. Rib Bone Soup -sooo good! Beef ribs were fall off the bone tender. Soup was clear but flavorful which helped wash down the rest of our meal. If you love glass noodles, you have to give this a go.

    It's a great place to go whenever you are craving a fresh and flavorful Asian fusion type of meal…read more I like sitting on the outside (?) area where it has cute lightings and plants around. The inside area is a bit cramped and doesn't really have a good ambiance. The service at Kei concept restaurants is pretty solid, the workers are very nice and considerate. My favorite dishes are the Asian pear salad and the Lomo saltado fries with filet mignon. I really recommend the pear salad because the arugula, burrata, the dressing with the Korean pear is so refreshing. One downside is that they're a bit too pricey now so I don't go as much as I did before.
