    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.

    Beautiful decor amazing food

    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.

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

    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.

    Yummy beef pho. I love pho and my favorite restaurant is a good drive from my house and this place is much closer so i decided to give it a try. The broth is delicious and they were quick. We were seated instantly and the server was nice. Yummy

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

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.

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.
