    Good pho - rich in flavor. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. Definitely hits the spot

    Pho tai and egg rolls.
    AJ T.

    I've been coming to eat here for years. I always get the large Pho Tai and egg rolls. The taste is consistently delicious and I've never had a bad experience. The staff is super friendly and always recognizes me when I come in. There's plenty of tables to sit at inside and outside.

    Pho from PhoTasia on a rainy day completely hit the spot. The beef tenderloin with the garlic butter rice, the shumai and the crispy eggrolls were equally delicious. I want to say the food was the best experience at PhoTasia. The restaurant and the customer service were both fair. Nothing special, nothing above and beyond. There was definitely no service as we had to try and get the servers' attention multiple times during our visit here. I also think there might be language barriers but not a deal breaker. I would come back, specifically for the food.

    Egg roll

    Got egg rolls "to-go", the egg rolls MELTED the container. PhoTasia - Please source different containers for your "to-go" orders to keep your customers healthy.

    Vietnamese Coffee

    So yummy! The little neighborhood marketplace is very chill and laid back, and there were maybe three other parties within the restaurant while we were there. We were immediately seated, food and drinks were SO fast, and the staff were super on top of it and nice! It's always great to have good local food, especially in residential areas where you can simply enjoy a nice walk in the post-drizzle and enjoy the crisp fresh air before filling up with a big hot steaming bowl of goodness. It's a rare luxury to have a restaurant within walking distance, especially a great restaurant! Pho was delicious, and the Vietnamese coffee was yummy too! Generous portions. I got the regular size, and my sister got the large size of the soup. Even with the regular portion, I struggled to finish! Such a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. Thank you :)

    Pho Noodles without meat (so good by itself) and egg rolls.

    This place is our go to for Vietnamese in Irvine. We go 1-2 times a week. The food is always freshly made to order (obviously pho is made before ordering) and prepared with care. The staff and owner are really friendly and helpful. They have a great patio seating area with umbrellas or you can choose to eat inside the restaurant. Highly recommend PhoTasia.

    A solid choice for a good bowl of pho in Irvine. Tucked in a nice shopping center near the 405, this place has quick, friendly service, a pleasant interior, and plenty of patio seating. Their pho is tasty, with especially good broth, and their prices are reasonable for Irvine. Recommended when you're craving a comforting bowl of soup. I like the P4- rare steak and brisket pho.

    I went with a few friends and it seemed like there was a bit of disorganization with ordering. We all ordered at the same time, but one person got their food immediately while another person got their food 14 minutes later. There are a few things I would say would've improved our experiences.... Things we did not like: 1. The spoons all smelled like chlorine/bleach? I'm not too sure what they can really do about this, but all of the people at our table tasted a pretty noticeable chlorine taste from the spoons 2. The portion sizes seemed to be a bit on the smaller side for the price. If pho-holic could do 12.99 in Newport Beach for a large.... I have no idea why Pho-tasia is charging 15.50 for a small and 16.30 for a large... with small portions. the picture shows how shallow the bowl is. Things that were good: 1. Plenty of parking outside 2. Ambiance is nice 3. Next to the market The reason for the three stars is... The checkout and ordering process was nice and easy with the QR code at the table. It would've been nice to eat with the group altogether instead of waiting 10+ minutes for the last person to get their order. While they offer a generous amount of basil, bean sprouts, and cilantro, the overall amount of pho was disappointing for the price. The taste of the pho checks most people's boxes. Not fantastic nor offensive in taste. The utensils smelled and tasted of chemicals which was unpleasant. Overall, it left my group saying "let's not come back".

    Tri-Color Bean Boba
    Amaldev D.

    Decent spot for a quick Vietnamese meal! My friend and I visited this Vietnamese restaurant for lunch, located in the Parkview Center Plaza. The plaza has ample parking, and the restaurant offers a cozy ambiance with a decent seating capacity. If you prefer dining outdoors, there's also plaza seating available. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. We started with the Duo Appetizer, which included a spring roll and a crispy egg roll. Both were good, but the crispy egg roll stood out--it was hot, fresh, and flavorful. For the main course, we went with the pho noodle soup: the chicken breast sous vide and the special combo, both in large portions. The noodle and meat quantity was generous, but the broth was a bit underwhelming--lacking the depth of flavor I was expecting. We also tried the tri-color bean drink and the black sea grass jelly drink. The jelly drink was okay, but the tri-color bean drink felt more like a scoopable dessert than a beverage--not my preference. If you're in the area and craving pho, this place is a convenient option, but it might not blow you away. A solid choice for a quick Vietnamese meal!

    Egg Rolls

    Instead of a usual pho, as a first timer here in particular, I ordered the grilled chicken thigh piece with the garlic butter rice. It comes with a side of fresh veggies, a small pho broth and a side of fish sauce. I was blown away!! The chicken was tender and juicy, the rice was flavorful and soft (but not in an overcooked way). The only adjustment I'd make is to the broth, which was a tad too salty (but nothing that got in the way of enjoying it). Our side order of eggrolls were piping hot and delicious as well. The service here was great and friendly. We had no waiting time to be seated. This restaurant is located in the parking lot with plenty of parking. I appreciated the decor and overall cleanliness too. We noticed this restaurant has a lot of mirrors inside, but we didn't mind it.

    Chicken Pho
    Daph H.

    Ordered online and picked up some pho to go and was pleased to see that it held up quite well! The noodles and piping hot soup were packed separately. I got the Chicken Pho ($14.95), kind of risky because I've found it pretty bland at some restaurants. Luckily this one was pretty flavorful, probably helped by the beef broth. I normally don't like chicken breast but this one was cooked sous vide so it was nice and tender. It came with a bag with bean sprouts, limes, cilantro, jalapeños, Thai basil and a decent portion of noodles, with packets of hoisin sauce and sriracha. It made for a light and healthy meal. Parking in the lot.

All the other dishes, I personally found the taste of the meat to be a bit lacking in flavor, nothing about the taste was memorable at all, but the way it was cooked was really good, temperature wise. We were in the area and this place was suggested. Maybe we should have tried the pho, but I mean it's the summer time so it's too hot to be having pho so we skipped it. Based on what we got, it was generally yummy, but I wouldn't go back here again. Id be more inclined to try other places.
