    Met up with friends here for a late night dinner and had a great time. This is definitely a more modern pho spot. We tried the pork bao, egg rolls, beef pho, shrimp pho, and the sautéed scallion corn which ended up being my favorite. Everything was tasted good and nicely presented. It's a bit pricier than your typical pho restaurant, but we really enjoyed the overall experience and would come back again when we're in the area.

    Onions that they missed while fishing out the rest
    Ken T.

    I ate here three times in a week. The first two times were great, but the last one really made it my last trip. There were five of us, we all ordered pho. Unfortunately, I was the only one who asked for no onions in my pho. I was a bit suspicious when the other four got their pho before I did. When my pho came out, the broth was barely warm. I looked closer and saw a few bits of onions floating in my bowl. Yes, they spent five minutes fishing out the onions instead of making me a new bowl. The flavor of my broth was ruined and it wasn't even hot enough to soften the bean sprouts. I really wanted to like this place, but after they pulled this on me, it makes me wonder what else goes on in the kitchen. At $20 a bowl, I expected better service. I probably won't come back.

    Great late night food option. Not a lot of food available late at night and we've been putting off going to this joint. Service was fast and the restaurant was nice and clean. I thought it was a really good bowl of pho and the rib inside was nice and tender. We liked the eggrolls and even ordered the filet mignon with garlic noodles. Both were above average and they also had a great drink selection.

    Veggie pho in veggie broth with side of beef rib (loved the generous helping and variety of veggies offered)
    Christine N.

    Loved my first visit here! The veggie pho with vegan broth was so good! They offered a variety of veggies, too! Also tried a bite of the beef off the rib, it was soft, juicy, and tender! Definitely coming back to try other options. Can't believe haven't heard of this place until recently.

    Garlic Noodle with Shaken Filet Mignon
    Mehul M.

    The food is pretty good and consistent. The shake beef filet mignon hits each time and the noodles are not too garlicky. All the apps are good too. Glad to see Irvine finally having some more places that are actually open late since the city needs that. The employees and ambiance is really nice.

    Wonderful restaurant with a nice and simple menu with large detailed pictures of each item. The food is delicious with solid portions. The oxtail pho was phenomenal, with the meat super soft and falling off the bone. The filet mignon garlic noodles were also packed with flavor. A modern and clean aesthetic with friendly and chill staff.

    The sign that has us turning around!
    RoseEllen S.

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed some healthy, belly-filling pho. Glad we saw the "Soup Shop" sign! We had delicious steak pho- and the best part?- noodle refills! We will be back! The end.

    Crispy Chicken with fried rice

    Terrific salmon with super delicious garlic parmesan noodles, tasty crispy chicken with fried rice and very savory vegetable pho! Great service and nice & comfortable dining indoors with cool air conditioning. Highly recommend Soup Shop for tasty options!

    Rib bone
    Crystal C.

    This place serves a solid bowl of pho. The broth had a nice depth of flavor, the noodles were pleasantly chewy, and the meat was cooked well. My only complaints about the pho itself are that I wish the soup had come out hotter, and there was a giant piece of tripe in my bowl that hadn't been cut down at all. It was awkward to eat and felt like something that should have been trimmed into smaller pieces before being served. Overall, it was still a satisfying bowl. That said, there were a few things that left me confused. I ordered the Pho Combination by pointing to the photo on the menu, which clearly showed a beef rib and was labeled as the combination pho. When my bowl arrived, there was no rib included. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, but it felt a bit misleading. I ended up ordering the rib on the side for an additional $6, and it didn't arrive until I was already halfway through my meal. Our waiter recommended the sautéed scallion corn, so we decided to give it a try. The dish was a bit confusing. When I think of a corn appetizer, I expect either a smaller portion or something that's meant to be shared alongside other dishes. Instead, it was just a large bowl of corn. Since the menu is mostly pho, noodles, and rice dishes, it didn't really feel like it paired naturally with anything we ordered. We basically ended up eating spoonfuls of corn between bites of our meal. The flavor was okay, but nothing memorable, and I think it could have been seasoned more aggressively. The Vietnamese coffee also wasn't my favorite as it had a slightly burnt taste. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean and the pho was satisfying. I was disappointed to learn they no longer offer unlimited noodles,l.

    Pho rib bone
    Clinton C.

    Standard decent pho. The rib bone was a bit dry, galbitang rib bone is more tender. If you're used to 626 pho, this is not as good. Did have indoor and covered outdoor seating for my dog. Plenty of parking inside a large plaza

    Pho Brisket
    Eleanor C.

    Food was delicious! I ordered a beef brisket pho and we got the filet mingon fries for the table. Both the both of pho and the fries filled us up well and I appreciated the quick service the servers had when accommodating our requests. The broth was really warm and the fries were perfectly crunchy. I would come back with friends and family to try! They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

    I want start off by saying this restaurant is number #12 for Yelp elites in the US for Pho. I was looking for a late night Pho run, however it was an interesting experience. I ordered Horchata because I was in the mood for something sweet and the drink tasted like water. I also ordered the popcorn chicken per the picture, but I feel like I got bait and switched i.e. the photo that was uploaded. It's definitely very Americanized and more of a fusion flare. I also feel like the server forgot we ordered popcorn chicken, so it came out after we finished eating our main order. The pho broth was a little bland, onions, and lime were excluded from the toppings + I would not go there again for the Pho. A few pros were the menu is very aesthetically pleasing it's almost like a picture book and there are big proportion sizes you can share among people!

    Pho Combination
    Mohammad H.

    An amazing pho shop in Irvine with excellent quality and fantastic options. We tried the combination pho and the brisket pho. And I have to say if you love trying different kinds of meat, the combination pho is the way to go. Packed with flavor, you get brisket, meatball, ribeye, tripe, and tendon. We also had spicy mango habanero wings, and they were delicious. Deliciously spicy but nothing overpowering. Definitely recommend it as an appetizer. Will definitely be back for a late-night meal.

I ordered a pork sandwich, side egg rolls and rice with golden Cornish hen. It was all very delicious. I can't believe such a simple-looking restaurant had such amazing quality food.

I know what I'm gonna get. Nothing crazy or fusion about it. Just some classic viet staples like broken rice or vermicelli bowls and that's what I want. I feel they get overlooked a lot because of all the other restaurants in the plaza but the plus side to that is I rarely have to wait to be seated. Service is great, they're always attentive or easy to flag down. Of course the plaza itself is terrible and parking can be rough during peak hours, but if you're patient you'll be rewarded with some comforting viet food.

My father-in-law was craving bánh xèo, so we decided to check this place out on a Friday evening. The restaurant does get pretty busy, so I'd recommend coming early if you want to avoid a wait. I also noticed a lot of people getting takeout, which I can definitely see working well here. The crêpe is so incredibly crispy that I don't think it would get too soggy on the ride home. That being said, at $20+ per, it's definitely expensive in my eyes, especially when I'm used to eating 2-3 of them at home. But if you've never had bánh xèo before or you absolutely love it, I'd still recommend giving this place a try. One thing I really liked was that they give you a generous amount of fresh veggies and herbs to wrap the bánh xèo with. The combination of the crispy crêpe, fillings, and fresh veggies makes for such a fun and satisfying bite.

The menu takes familiar Vietnamese flavors then gets a little creative with them. The space itself has that same trendy Kei Concepts feel too. Cute, lively, but still casual enough to stop in for brunch or coffee. The workers here were super attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we narrowed it down to the Seafood Ceviche, Matcha Cloud Latte, Egg Coffee, plus the Beef Belly Banh Mi Chao. The Seafood Ceviche comes with scallops, shrimp, calamari, mango, coconut, Thai chili, plus shrimp chips. This was such a clean and bright bite with a little tropical flavor from the mango and coconut. There was a nice kick of spice too. They gave a good amount of seafood, so you weren't just eating toppings and sauce. Scoop everything onto one of those crispy shrimp chips... so good. The Matcha Cloud Latte was dangerously easy to drink. I genuinely think I could take down three of these. It's made with oat milk then topped with matcha cheese foam. It was creamy with such a vibrant green matcha flavor. Slightly sweeter than I normally prefer, but I'm sure you could ask for less sweetness. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but the Egg Coffee surprised me. It's Vietnamese milk coffee topped with egg foam and cocoa powder. That cream was DELICIOUS. Last was the Beef Belly Banh Mi Chao. It comes with beef belly, black peppercorn sauce, sunny eggs, pork roll, pate, tomatoes. We added Chinese sausage since we were sharing, but honestly we didn't even need it. They give you a MOUNTAIN of beef belly. I loved being able to build each bite however I wanted with the bread, beef, egg, pate, plus everything else on the plate. Such a fun dish to share. Another Kei Concepts win for me. I already know there are more things on this menu I need to come back for.
