    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.

    "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!"

    Michael M.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    Enjoyed the light, well balanced flavor of the broth, perfectly sweet without being overly salty. I got combination but removed tripe. Meat and noodles is well portion' 5/5 The rib bone meat was incredibly tender and juicy, it practically fell off the bone as soon as I picked it up. The Thai tea was nicely sweet, while the green Thai tea was more subtle and less sweet. Go with the regular Thai tea if you have a sweet tooth.

    Compared to other late night pho spots (open til midnight), this one's the best. We came around 10pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. We got seated immediately though. Pho comes in hot stone bowl which keeps it hot longer. Also came with side of nuoc beo (fatty oil) and vinegar onions. Bean sprouts were blanched which I appreciate. Egg rolls were decent. Service was good. Table had everything you need with all kinds of sauces including chili oil. Floor is a little slick and oily but what do you expect.
