    Good oxtail pho my favorite with a banana boba on the side. The chili oil is always on point. Service is quick and fast. Good energy all around many kinds of people come and go

    Service a great and fast when it comes to ordering pho. Plenty of seats and gets busy at lunch time, but not overly crowded. Portions are very big and very filling. Pho broth has good flavor but luke warm, and tons of meats from steak, meatballs, tendons and green onions. 4/5 Enjoyed the Thai iced tea but wasn't as sweet. 3/5 Mung Bean for Dessert is my favorite part after our meal, compliments from the restaurant. Love the taste of this mung bean dessert. 5/5

    My go to work stop for pho, vermicelli, and lemongrass chicken. It's one of those consistent places where you always get the same quality and portions. Their pho is BIG! Bigger than most places I think. The lemongrass chicken (sub white rice for red rice) is always good, and vermicelli is always a good option if you want something just heavy enough but slightly refreshing. Nothing extravagant but always what you expect. Their tap water is also not great so hydrate well beforehand. It gets busy during rush hour lunch so just plan accordingly.

    We've long visited the same Vietnamese restaurant in Tustin, even after multiple change of owners, a drop in quality, and steadily rising prices. Sadly, my kids are stubborn and resistant to try a new place! That's why I lied and drove them to Simply Pho. Yes, the howled and moaned the whole ride. Onto the actual review... The interior is very modern and slick and the staff were friendly and helpful. The shrimp spring rolls were fantastic (especially the peanut sauce!). I had bun with pork/shrimp/eggroll. I'm not a huge fan of shell-on shrimp, but I lived. Everything was very tasty and high quality and I thought the value was much better than our usual haunt. My kids enjoyed their beef pho and chicken with rice. We loved it enough that I hope to come back soon!

    The food here is good. The prices are okay, average for the Y2KXXV (2025-present day) era where so many of us have to acknowledge the quarter century gone by since the year 2000 with inflation and cost of living adjustments. The one thing I think could be improved to their Vietnamese cuisine peer restaurants is slightly larger portions, simply "more noodles" a low overhead cost would probably make this place busier and with insignificant profit loss but overall higher revenue gain. The Garlic Noodles are perfect, not overwhelming nor overpowering. Easy parking.

    Beautiful decor amazing food

    Simply pho not leading us down with world cup broadcast. Amazing food like always. Gooooooal!

    We ordered the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls to start. Amazing!!! For dinner, I ordered Grilled Chicken over vermicelli and my boyfriend ordered Pho Fish Fillet. Mine was so good, fresh and flavorful. My boyfriend really enjoyed his. He said it hit the spot! The servers were nice but didn't come around very often to check in. It was so good, I forgot to take a picture. This was the aftermath.

    Friendly staff, pho comes out pretty fast and they give soo much, I'm either too stuffed to finished or take the rest Togo, so I can enjoy the special treat after my meal!

    I like this pho place. Pho oxtail and pho rib bone are soooo good. I also like the Thai tea.

    Amazing service, food delicious. Ambiance was clean and friendly. I enjoyed it for my lunch break

    Seafood pho, shrimp spring rolls, beef vermicelli bowl and fried tofu.

    I really enjoy eating here. Their broth is very clear and delicious. I order their seafood pho and shrimp spring rolls. Their seafood is always fresh and clean. Their noodles are cooked to perfection and their spring rolls are always made with the freshest ingredients. Their prices are average compared to other pho restaurants and their portions are just right. Their customer service is great and their food always hits the spot. I will always return when I'm in the area.

    I had the bit thit nuong -- vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and eggroll, with the usual fixings -- peanuts, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, etc. The portion was a decent size and colorful. The nuoc cham (fish sauce) was fine as were the thin noodles. The meat was a little dry and could have been more flavorful. The eggroll was not that crunchy. I would say overall that the food was okay but I have had better. No one came to fill my water. And you have to pay at the counter. Lots of parking as part of a large shopping center.

    Chicken pho and Thai tea

    Love coming here! Everyone is so welcoming. If it's your first time trying pho definitely come here. Food is amazing and drinks. My favorite items to get here are the chicken pho and a Thai tea:)

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

She was attentive, warm, and genuinely great with my daughter. The one hiccup came when my daughter wanted to swap a meat option for steamed veggies in her pho. Daisy let us know the kitchen doesn't accommodate menu customizations, so we got creative and ordered everything on the side. It worked out, though it ended up costing about the same as a kids' pho for what amounted to a simple substitution. Outside of that, the experience was excellent, the restaurant was clean, the service was top-notch, and the menu had a solid variety to choose from. The lack of flexibility with customization is the only reason I'm not giving five stars, but I'd still recommend Mama Hong's without hesitation.

    If you're looking for a Vietnamese restaurant that offers something beyond the traditional menu,…read morethis place is absolutely worth visiting. The food strikes a great balance between authentic Vietnamese flavors and modern fusion creativity. I ordered the roasted pork dry noodles, and they were outstanding. The noodles were perfectly cooked with a flavorful, aromatic sauce that coated every bite without being greasy. The roasted pork had a beautiful crispy edge while staying incredibly juicy and tender inside. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the presentation was clean and appetizing. I also had a Vietnamese-style grilled bowl with fresh vegetables and a crispy egg roll. The grilled meat was smoky, well-marinated, and paired perfectly with the crisp cucumbers, pickled carrots, and refreshing greens. The fish sauce dressing tied everything together with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and just a hint of spice. The restaurant itself has a modern, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for lunch, dinner, or catching up with friends. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out fresh and quickly.

This sauce is my favorite part of the dish. -On a healthier side, we have other chicken options like grilled chicken with kimchi fried rice. The kimchi flavor isn't bold and pungent. This is fine for me though because I like subtle kimchi. Overall service is fast as there are options for self-service or requested service. Water is self refilled which I like because I do drink a lot of water. This is a great spot for workers looking for a quick, affordable, and filling lunch.

Luckily our friend had put our name down quickly and we were seated upon the rest of our party's arrival within 15 ish minutes. Now that I've tried the food, felt the service, and enjoyed our meal, I can see why it has a line and a high star rating! The service: super friends and accommodating! The place itself is a small/medium size with lots of tables for seating multiple small/medium sizes of parties. We were a party of 5 (4 adults, one baby/toddler with a high chair). I loved how they accommodated my child with their children's menu in addition to providing us with scissors to cut up noodles. Upon stating our allergies, they helped us with food suggestions and limitations. It's honestly the little things that go above and beyond, as well as their friendly service. They weren't overtly checking up on us, and had just the right amount of interaction and help. Food: 3 of us got the beef belly pho and one got the beef rib, my son got a kids mean. Upon receiving our bowls you'd think by looking at the clarity of the broth that it wouldn't be super flavorful, but it absolutely was. It's not overpowering, but the right amount of savory with a hint of sweetness from the added o green onions. Each pho came with the garnishes of basil, lime, and bean sprouts as normal. We did have to ask for small side plates For those who wanted hoisin and sriracha on the side, but not a big deal and quick to get. I'm also a huge fan of the lychee lemonade at vox, which they had here. Not refillable, but still loved it! My son got their chicken nuggets with fries since the pho broth had some sesame oil which he's allergic to, but he loved it. It came in the cutest kid "happy meal" type of box and we used the scissors given to cut the nuggets and a few "washed" noodles. Overall, would love to come again for a great bowl of pho if the wait isn't too long!
