At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha. Eventually the person who would be our actual server showed us to our table and was one of those "I'm here to get things done" kinda workers. Everything came out in an efficient manner and we were checked up on when necessary. No complaints here :) As always though, will definitely be coming back

This place have been on my list for a while since I live in the area as it has great reviews…read more Unfortunately everything was a miss here. The food was not very authentic. Tried the pho lunch combo with spring rolls for $23... the pho here was flavorless, but the rib meat was good, but for Vietnamese I was hopeful that their pho was at least good but I say this was most disappointing and also got to try their chicken bahn mi, I guess having to try various spots like THH Carrot and Daikon or pickle bahn mi, this doesn't even come close Not sure if we ordered the wrong stuff but food was nonetheless subpar However service was great and staff was very nice

The dipping sauce was very delicious. The rare beef pho soup was rich, comforting lots of flavor, the broth tasted like it had been simmering for hours. My Hubs ordered #34 rice plate with beef, 2 egg rolls & salad, it was a good portion, he said it was a satisfying meal. The beef was well seasoned, the egg rolls were crispy, and everything paired really well together. Great food, generous portions, and definitely a place I'd go to when craving pho & Vietnamese comfort food. :)

When I'm in a pho mood, I tend to come here…read more This place is tucked away next to a barber shop in a strip mall. I've never had trouble parking for dinner, no matter how busy it was. The place is small but there's a lot of seating. Decor is sparse but I'm just here for the food. Even when it's busy, there's usually quick turn over on the tables so the wait is never long unless there's a big group. Service is usually pretty quick. My only complaint is that the pho often comes out before or the same time as the appetizers. I tend to order a shrimp and pork spring roll which comes with a peanut sauce for dipping, and my go-to is the large pho beef combo bowl, which comes with all the cuts of beef along with thin strips of tendon and tripe. The flavor of the broth is delicious, and the bowl is always filling, but if I want a little more variety then maybe I'll skip the appetizer and order a small bowl and a pork banh mi sandwich to go with it. My +1 prefers the pho bowl with meatballs. Note: there's no children's menu so we've had to get creative for our little one. We've had luck ordering a side of rice and a fried egg, and mixing it together. There are closer pho spots, but I prefer the broth at this one. I've never had a bad dish or experience here.

But then I happen to go during happy hour and lemonades are on sale so I also got the strawberry lemonade. I was only planning on ordering the pho with fillet and I absolutely loved it. You can never really go wrong with a good soup! But I couldn't stop... I had to add from their happy hour! We also added french fries for two dollars and egg rolls for seven dollars! My friend and I feasted and then I wanted to get a couple meals to go for my husband and son so I ordered the jasmine fried rice with shaken steak for my husband, which he loved even reheated! And for my son, the garlic noodles with grilled pork. Since my son didn't come home, I had to take it for myself, and the pork is my favorite thing! I didn't think they could top the pho - it's my absolutely love. The char on the pork is amazing.

I stopped by for an early dinner on my way back to San Diego last weekend. My friend and I each got the bulgogi garlic noodles (I added the egg but for $2.50 not sure it added a lot of flavor or value to the dish), shared the wings and an order fries. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee on the cashier's recommendation--good suggestion, nice flavor without an overpowering amount of sugar. The wings were fantastic. Fries were fair, good portions and flavorful. I liked the noodles but weren't blown away. Everything was very soft, not a lot of textural change. The portion was generous with lots of bulgogi beef. The service was great--friendly and responsive. They have a small lot which was fine at 530pm on Sunday but probably problematic at lunch or normal dinner hours. My one complain was dirty dining room. Maybe it was just after the lunch rush, but the tables and floor could have used some wiping and the trash cans were full. Nice easy meal stop off the freeway at Orange.

Sup Noodle Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Irvine. The restaurant strikes a…read moregreat balance between casual comfort food and high-quality ingredients, and every visit has been consistently enjoyable. The star of the menu is definitely the pho. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care--not overly salty or greasy like some places. The meats are tender, portions are generous, and the noodles always have the perfect texture. If you're a first-time visitor, I highly recommend trying one of their signature pho bowls. Their garlic noodles are another standout. Perfectly seasoned with a buttery garlic flavor and a slight savory kick, they pair incredibly well with the grilled meats. The shaken beef and grilled pork are both excellent options if you're looking for something beyond traditional pho. One thing that really sets Sup Noodle apart is the variety of appetizers and sides. The crispy egg rolls are packed with flavor, and the wings are surprisingly good--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with just the right amount of sauce. Don't skip the house sauces either; they elevate every dish. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. Even during busy lunch and dinner hours, the staff does a great job keeping things moving and maintaining a friendly atmosphere. Service has always been attentive without feeling rushed. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Expect a wait during peak lunch and dinner times, especially on weekends. * The garlic noodles are absolutely worth adding to your order. * If you're dining with a group, order several appetizers to share. * Parking can get busy, but turnover is usually quick. Overall, Sup Noodle Bar delivers excellent food, generous portions, and consistently great service. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho, flavorful garlic noodles, or simply looking for a reliable restaurant in Irvine, this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back.

​O'meli Kitchen is a standout for anyone looking for elevated Vietnamese cuisine in Orange County…read more They skip the shortcuts and focus on high-quality proteins and vibrant, house-made sauces. ​The Standout Dishes ​Oxtail Fried Rice: This is the definition of comfort food. The oxtail is shredded directly into the rice, so you get that deep, savory beef flavor in every spoonful without having to navigate around bones. Topped with a sunny-side-up egg and fragrant Thai basil, it's a rich, cohesive dish that hits all the right notes. ​Soft Shell Crab Curry: The execution on the crab is flawless--perfectly crispy and light. The accompanying yellow curry is aromatic and creamy, providing a great balance to the saltier crunch of the crab. ​Shaken Beef Rice Bowl: The beef is clearly a premium cut, seared to a perfect tender finish. It's served with a fresh salad and a bright green chili-lime sauce that provides a necessary zesty kick to the savory steak. ​O'meli Kitchen manages to feel sophisticated while remaining approachable. The service is professional, and the kitchen's attention to detail--like shredding the oxtail for ease of eating--shows they really care about the guest experience. It's a must-visit in Fullerton.
