    Beef Belly Pho
    Chloe H.

    8/09/26 11:53 a.m. I love SUP and their weekday lunch meal deal, but there's definitely room for improvement when it comes to consistency and customer service. I always order the Beef Belly Pho shaken style, but the last three times I've visited, my pho has been served without it being prepared that way. I understand mistakes happen, but instead of taking the dish back and remaking it, the staff simply brings me the shaken-style ingredients in a separate bowl and tells me to add them myself. That might be acceptable if it happened quickly, but on average, it takes 10 to 15 minutes for the ingredients to arrive. By then, my pho has already started to get cold, which takes away from the experience. What makes it even more frustrating is that I usually wait 30 to 45 minutes for a table. After dealing with the same issue during my last three visits, I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. When the food is prepared correctly, it's delicious, and I understand why this place is so popular. Unfortunately, the repeated inconsistencies and lack of urgency in fixing mistakes outweigh the value of the lunch special for me.

    Put your name on the tablet to register for Yelp Check-in system and prepare to wait for 1+ hours even on a weekday. The food does come out quick and when you're almost done, the waiter will ask you to pay at the table so the service inside the restaurant is very fast. I tried the beef pork belly pho and loved the salty and umami flavor of the broth and the noodles were chewy!

    Beef belly pho lunch special for $11.99 on weekdays from 10 am to 4 pm- count me in! Service was quick and servers were attentive. Decor is modern and aligns with their other Kei Concept restaurants. The beef belly pho had a flavorful broth and the serving was plentiful. I love how they do unlimited noodle refills here too, literally a bang for the buck! I would highly recommend this spot, especially for their lunch special price that can't be beat. Do keep in mind that this is a limited time offer, so not too sure when it ends.

    Always busy. Get there asap to put your name on the waitlist or you'll be waiting forever. There's a reason there's lines to get in. There's a decent amount of seating inside and it's very clean and cute, just very busy all the time. This location is near a lot of different stores restaurants and dessert places. Remember they have unlimited pho noodle refills when you need more with your broth. The broth: AMAZING you can tell it's cooked for a day or more. I got the brisket pho which had a perfect amount of meat to noodle ratio. The meat was tender and flavorful. The cilantro and scallion garnish is just phenomenal with the perfect broth. We also got the beef belly dry noodle. This was very good and similar to vermicelli noodles dishes. It had nice sauces on the side and well cooked flavorful meat. We got shrimp spring rolls and shaken house fries. Both are yummy. The spring rolls could come with more shrimp. It's more veggies than shrimp. We also got the lychee lemonade which was not too sweet which is good and super refreshing. We ordered the herbal iced tea too which had a pandan flavor. (Not sweet it's a different type of flavor so be warned it's not typical sweet tea!!) super delicious flavor and refreshing. This menu is big and you need to try new stuff. My third time coming and getting new stuff, can't ditch the pho though, it's too good.

    Can wait in line ahead of time on Yelp if you're nearby. You'll get called in when you're about third in line. They don't take cash. Noodles are very chewy and delicious, just the way I like it. They offer extra noodles in a non judgmental manner. They're actually very nice about it and you can actually order the extra noodles while you're planning your order. They currently have the beef belly pho lunch special Monday thru Friday 10-4 for 11.99 which is a great deal. The beef is very fatty and the broth is extremely oily though. The garlic fried chicken is very good, so crispy, fresh fried and garlicky. I love this place!

    We had another wonderful experience at SUP! Using Yelp Waitlist, we were able to easily wait in line, explore the marketplace, and we were sat in a timely manner. My favorite dish here has to be their Pho Anthony Bourdain. The filet mignon paired with the shallots and garlic made for a fragrant bite each time. Their flat noodles were so springy and had amazing texture as well. As always, you must order their unlimited noodles to savor their broth so I ended up ordering 4 extra. Such a wonderful time and I can't wait to try their kimchi fried rice next time!

    SUP Noodle Bar is a restaurant serving pho, lomo saltado, kimchi fried rice, and more. It's in the same plaza as other Kei Concept restaurants like NEP and ROL. In short, my experience wasn't the best due to unclear processes and unorganized execution. I tried the seasonal lunch special, which is a $11.99 beef belly pho with unlimited refills - this was a very good deal. The bean sprouts and basil were very fresh. The broth was extremely oily but was still flavorful. It was filling and hearty. The service could be better. When seated, my table didn't get water cups. I noticed others got it as they were seated. I asked twice before receiving water cups. We asked about the unlimited refills and my waitress didn't explain how it worked and left us with "ok how many do you want?" The process wasn't obvious to us. Looked like it took a while to get the refill orders logged - perhaps they were short staffed? My party waited a while for the refills to come, to the point where our broth got cold. After inquiring about the status of the refills, the waitress defensively explained "I already put it in, you have to wait until it gets cooked." That response didn't put my party at ease because we still didn't know how much longer we had to wait. The manager later delivered the noodle refills and explained there were kitchen hiccups, likely in an attempt to de-escalate. The friendliness eased tension, a professional way of handling customer frustration. We ordered two more refills with him immediately and they arrived quickly. However, the dining experience still felt unorganized because two additional refills arrived at my table that were not previously requested. When it came time to paying the bill, the approach was also unclear. Some folks paid at the front so I waited there. The staff chilled in the back area and I couldn't get their attention, but later was told to pay at the table. I also heard gossiping in the room headed to the bathroom, and the staff quickly hushed when I passed by. It created an awkward, uncomfortable atmosphere. Overall, the price is good, flavor is there, and the unlimited noodle refills is a unique differentiator from other pho places. However, the service experience wasn't the best and I hope to see it improve for future visits.

    My friend and I went here for dinner. I got their Lomo saltado steak and my friend got their pho rib bones. The portions were huge I had to take half of my lomo saltado home for later. I also got their strawberry cream soda and my friend got their watermelon refresher. I thought my drink was pretty good and refreshing. My friend thought the drink wasn't as good as the last time he got it which was the only negative from our experience. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner!

    Pho Combination (Shaken Style)
    Andrew D.

    Best Pho in Irvine area ! Another hit by the Kei Concepts team, Sup Noodle Bar provides hearty pho offerings as well as classics such as their garlic noodles and fried rice. There is generally a wait here, ranging from 20 minutes - 1 hour and a half on any given night so definitely plan in advance. Upon entering, you can expect to be tended to and your order taken relatively quickly. There are a lot of tables here to seat parties of various sizes. However, the noise is a little loud in here due to all the people that they can seat. I always get the combination pho shaken style here and it's definitely enough to fill me up. One thing to note about this place is that similar to its sister franchise (Kin Izakaya), they do unlimited noodle refills here! Definitely take advantage of that if you have the stomach for it. I've tried a wide variety of pho establishments all across OC and can confidently say that SUP Noodle Bar is my personal favorite in the Irvine area. Definitely recommend!

    Shaken House Fries
    Kathy K.

    I have wanted to dine here for a long time. I used to work on weekends for a food delivery service and always had a ton of orders from here so I knew by the amount of food going out, the people waiting to get in and the absolutely amazing smells coming from the kitchen that it was amazing. So I finally had the time to take my son and his girlfriend and we were not disappointed. The place is small and quaint but that gives it a great home feel. We used the the Yelp app to check in (they do not take reservations) but always let you know u checked in and all of your parry is present. The Pho is to die for. Unlimited noodles so you can fill up your bowl and take the rest home. They have nice packing containers and it looked like everyone did the same thing. The service and prices were excellent. You can't go wrong.

    Stephanie O.

    I'm making it a personal goal when I visit the OC to go to all of the Kei Concepts restaurant and had to at least visit one on this last business trip I traveled for. Much like the other two locations I've visited, SUP did not disappoint at all! I love the variety the menu offered and options how you can further enhance your meal! My friend and I each ordered the special but also a bowl of pho so we could try more on the menu. We also did not anticipate such large bowls when we asked for 2 so we could more easily share our meals, but it was perfect. Where to even start with our meals? The beef belly dry noodles were delicious, a little tricky to mix but once it was, absolute perfection! Everything was so fresh and delicious. We were so happy and it could easily fill us both up. The Anthony Bourdain pho was perfection. The wok fried scallion oil was a Touch i would have never thought about until I came here. It really enhanced the overall flavor of the pho and meal! We picked up a a filet limo saltado and filet garlic noodle to go and if you love a good tender steak, definitely get either of these dishes. Tender, flavorful, perfect noodle and garlic flavor, it drooling thinking about it! I can't wait to come back and try the next restaurant by Kei Concepts!! I have never been disappointed, only disappointed I live too far away to make my visits a regular trip!

    Beef Belly Pho x3 and Rib Bone Pho
    Dez G.

    Went during lunch special and had to wait a little bit, would recommend joining through yelp. Broth was very flavorful and love the endless noodle refill. I have been here before in the past years and it is still very delicious and they continue to have good service.

    Isabel T.

    Came around 11:15 maybe ish on tuesday for the 11.99 beef belly pho special. We got seated right away, ordered the beef belly pho and lomo saltado with filet mignon. Their pho is usually good, unlimited noodles good flavor and very good deal. The lomo was also good flavor wise, just very little filet mignon. Prob like 10 small pieces overall tbh, mainly fries. Service is pretty good, fast and checked up on us a couple times.

    Any broths gluten and soy free?

    Does your pho have fish sauce and msg?

    Msg yes. I get really thirsty afterwards

    I noticed the menu changed recently. Is the pho still gluten free? Thanks!

    Depends on which pho you are ordering

    Do you use msg or ingredients that contain msg in your pho?

    We do use MSG in our food items. Thank you for reaching out

    What is the cajun sauce made of?

    What are your vegan/vegetarian options?

    I just called them and they said they don't have any fully vegetarian options as they use beef broth (so the vegetable pho is NOT vegetarian/vegan). And they fry all their appetizers in the same oil so also not vegetarian or vegan friendly.

    Are they Pet friendly?

    There are tables in front outside where pets are okay.

    What is the closest thing to rare steak pho on the menu?

    Pho Beef Belly (and it's fantastic)

    Do you have vegetarian options for the pho broth or only beef based broth?

    Only beef based broth (I called them to ask - March 9, 2024)

    Will you be open on 1/1/2023?

    Yes, we'll be open from 11am to 9pm. Please do give us a visit!

    Are the rice noodles homemade or gluten free? A lot of store bought pho/rice noodles use wheat starch as fillers.

    I don't believe that they are made by the restaurant, but I have Celiac and have never had an issue eating their pho rice noodles!

    Can somebody with a serious peanut allergy eat here without risk of cross-contamination? Is the pho peanut/tree nut friendly?

    I think it's fine. I have a peanut allergy and I had no issues.

    How accurate is the pickup "due" time when ordering a to-go order via Yelp?

    Mine was ready like 15 min after the due time.

    Is there anything gluten free? Is the pho gluten-free?

    I have Celiac and have eaten various types of their pho with no issue. Their noodles are made of rice and are safe. I would ask about specific entrees (outside of pho) and if they are/can be made gluten free. However, many contain wheat as far as I… 

    Is it pronounced "SOOP" or "SUHP"?

    soop. saw it on the server's t shirt

    Is this the same place behind Sam Wu, owned by a young Vietnamese whose mother is French?

    No it's owned by Kei Concepts. The same people behind Gem Dining, Nep Cafe, Vox Kitchen and other restaurants.

    Can you make reservation or waitlist only?

    Waitlist only.

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.

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.

    Came here for the first time for dinner. We had a reservation and got seated right away though we…read moregot there 15 mins earlier. Parking is easy and plenty of spots as there are no other open establishments in the plaza. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Like many of the Kei concepts restaurants I've tried, this place didn't disappoint. I liked everything that we ordered. Price is reasonable. Serving size is just right. Definitely recommended!

I picked the rocket shrimp for my starter and vermicelli with two proteins for my main. Rocket Shrimp- Served hot and crisp with a sweet and chili sauce and a side of fresh greens. The shrimp is fresh and tasty. Overall a great starter. Vermicelli with Two Proteins- I picked grilled pork and grilled chicken, both were perfectly marinated and juicy. It paired well with the vermicelli and crunchy vegetables. A filling meal. Great experience overall!

The cell signal sucks here - so if you're coming to eat while on your phone you'll have to use the free Marketplace WiFi. Apparently the restaurant WiFi is not open to public. The pho portion is not the best compared to more authentic pho restaurants, but definitely enough to fill for a meal. The weirdest annoying thing is the spoons for the pho, which are not typical Asian soup spoons and annoying to use to eat a soup noodle dish. Service is just fine, it wasn't very busy. Just wish they told me about the free WiFi instead of just denying store WiFi.

    THH Sandwiches was recommended to me by a friend who used to live in the area. I'm a big fan of…read morebánh mì, so I had to give it a try--and I'm glad I did. The first thing I noticed was the line. It looked pretty long, but the staff moved through customers incredibly fast. That's usually a good sign that a place is worth the wait, and it definitely was. Don't let the line discourage you--it goes by quickly. The sandwiches are generously loaded with fillings, and the bread is made fresh in-house. I even saw several people leaving with loaves of bread, which says a lot about the quality. I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì, and it was excellent. The vegetables were fresh, the pork was flavorful, and everything came together perfectly. You can also watch the staff prepare the sandwiches through a large glass window, which adds to the experience and lets you see the care that goes into each order. It's easy to see why this has become a local favorite. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, and it was fantastic. It was rich, bold, and exactly what I was hoping for. If you're looking for an authentic bánh mì and a great Vietnamese coffee, THH Sandwiches is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.
