    Filet Mignon Lomo Saltado and Rib Bone Pho
    Eva ..

    (+) yumm. pho was so good. shaken style and extra sliced onion & jalapenos is a must. lomo is a must!!! their fruity drinks are good too. service has been good both times at both here & buena park. super fast service. unlimited broth ofc. (-) wait times, though JOIN YELP WAITLIST! seats are not comfortable & atmosphere is obviously for quick, efficient dining.

    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.

    Beef Belly Pho
    Calvin G.

    Had the beef belly pho for lunch today the service was fast and the pho was delicious. The beef belly wasn't too fatty and the meat tasted fresh. I also got a side of extra noodles which is unlimited for free. The interior was clean and service was fast.

    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!

    Anthony Bourdain Pho
    Nick Q.

    When you have a waitlist on a random Wednesday, that's usually a good sign! Not the biggest space but has a nice, new, funky feel. Food was delicious, I tried the Anthony Bourdain Pho which was an interesting spin! The smokey, garlic flavored broth, paired with flat noodles was unlike any other pho I've had before. The Golden Baos were also a fun twist that we've never had before. The breading was sweet while the center had a salty and umami flavor. The portions are also very large so good news for leftovers lovers!! I'm definitely excited to return and try some of their other dishes.

    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.

    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
    Karena S.

    AYCE pho! I've been wanting to come to Sup Noodle Bar for ages and I finally found the time to come! I came on a weekend during lunch hours and they have a beef belly pho for $11.99 per person! Our server was extremely attentive and would always ask if we wanted more refills on the noodles whenever he walked by. I love that they add a little bit of broth with each refill so it's not an uneven amount of broth and noodles. Our entire table got the shaken upgrade for 50 cents and it was honestly the best upgrade ever. The pho was super meaty and had a strong smokiness taste to it which added the cherry on top. I didn't feel the need to decorate my pho at all! I just ate it straight up because it had THAT much flavor.

    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.

    SUP has been a staple that I go too and this is the first time my wife and I have been to this location and it didn't disappoint! Menu is simple and straight to the point with really good price points especially with the unlimited noodle and some broth that comes with it refill! Our service was so quick and the server she was so polite and attentive! The ambiance is also just a little cold inside for a cool summer night but it balanced out overall with the nice warm soup as well as hot water when you ask for it! Please do me and favor and order the Anthony Bourdain Pho! It is so good and the flavors just hug you. Definitely coming here again for some of my favorite pho!

    Rib Bone Pho Shaken House Fries
    Cristian B.

    The place was amazingly satisfying with a refill of noodles to keep that hunger for fulfillment was a must. I got the service with attentive to my needs and no need to ask they had my longing for more covered without much bother. I say the time I came it was chill and laid back within the hour it got packed. I'm saying its best to reserve if your coming in around 12. I would comeback for the fries I am satisfied with that alone.

    Shrimp And Sausage Garlic Noodle
    Robin K.

    I walked into SUP Noodle Bar not entirely sure what to expect from a Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion spot, but I am so glad I checked it out! To get a taste of both worlds, I ordered the popular shrimp and sausage garlic noodles and the rib bone pho. The shrimp and sausage garlic noodles were garlicky greatness. It came with a side of aji sauce, but the noodles were already so loaded with flavor on their own that I didn't even think they needed it! As for the rib bone pho, it absolutely lived up to the menu description. The meat came clean off the bone. Usually, rib bone pho can skew a bit too heavy and fatty, but this broth was incredibly balanced. I actually found myself enjoying the natural flavor without immediately reaching for the hoisin sauce. Plus, a major bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills! Service was fast, super friendly, and they checked in on us often.

    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… Read more

The restaurant has plenty of seating and a good view of the outside shopping centers. It has a nice vibe especially if you're doing a dinner and they have a nice cultural influence. Service was amazing, the host was checking in often and the food came out in good time. The food overall was decent. Honestly I've had Peruvian food with more flavor profiles and payed a little less, the chicken was a little dry and did not have that Peruvian, you usually get some good spices and citrus with Peruvian food and it felt closer to fajitas with French fries. The yuca fries were actually done really well but came with no sauce or dip and the empanadas were good but fell apart t very quickly. The filling was good and there was a whole green olive inside that had more flavor than the meats. I would have chopped up the green olive, and integrated it more. Lastly the fried rice was pretty good to be honest ... I think that was the best thing I had while there but it did need some of that spicy kick. Overall I would return to Inka but it will not be my first choice for Peruvian food.

Service was attentive throughout the meal, with the staff checking in regularly without being intrusive. There was no lunch rush when we went, making for a nice, calm brunch atmosphere. The lychee lemonade came with unlimited refills, which was a nice bonus. It tasted how you'd expect from a classic lemonade with a noticeable lychee flavor, and had lychee pulp throughout. We ordered several dishes to share. The Calamari was a good appetizer. It had a light, crispy coating with good seasoning, and the dipping sauce paired nicely with it. We also tried the Carne Asada Fries, which were loaded with flavor. The meat was well-seasoned, and the sauces tied everything together without overwhelming the fries. The Garlic Noodles with filet were a solid choice. The noodles were flavorful, and the filet was cooked well, tender and juicy. The Fried Rice with Pork Jowl was probably my favorite dish. The pork jowl was rich, tender, and packed with flavor, and the fried rice complemented it really well, offsetting the fattiness. For being at South Coast Plaza, I thought the prices were fairly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It's not somewhere I can afford every week, but it's a great option when you're looking for a nicer lunch while shopping. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
