Ordered a popular pho combination soup and summer rolls for takeout and was deeply disappointed.The portion of meat was dismal in the pho. The broth hardly had any flavor. No bean sprouts or herbs provided.The summer rolls hardly looked appetizing.

The noodles were cooked perfectly, the meat was delicious and plentiful, and the herbs and sprouts were fresh. The broth was the biggest let down but it could have just been a bad day. Overall it was pretty good but nothing exceptional.

Unbelievable! I ordered two items for my children to try. I told the employee NO NUTS due to an allergy. When I arrived home about 30 minutes later, guess what was in the container? PEANUTS!I was furious. Simple request. It's not too much to ask. Called to get a refund but was told I needed to be physically there with my credit card. What BS. It's very common for credit card transactions be easily voided same-day. She also wasn't empathetic; a food allergy is serious! But she did not profusely apologize for this major mistake.

The food is ok not the best but it's close by. Service is horrible every time my family and I come we have to wait a long time. The older lady with really short hair always gives us a really bad attitude the rest of the staff is ok.

I have eaten a lot of Vietnamese food in different restaurant in SGV. Pho Ha is definitely a very mediocre restaurant. The food is very bland. And it really doesn't taste very good. We ordered the charbroiled pork roll (similar the summer rolls special). But the tastes is so much worse than summer rolls. The rolls are very small in size. The pork texture is ok, taste bland. Very very little veggie. I also ordered the BBQ pork with vermicelli. This is pure disappointing. The pork doesn't feel like real BBQ at all, feel more like pan fried. The sauce that they gave doesn't really work well together. Vermicelli felt slightly over cooked. And the house special pho is the MOST disappointing one. The beef is not that fresh, the soup is not salty enough. Doesn't feel like it is cooked from beef bone. And most importantly, the soup is NOT very hot. This is absolutely a no no for pho. And their service is not good either. Work very slow. And trying to get a few people to get our checks at the end. And they all looked at you and then walk away without bringing the check. Then I saw another table also stood up and go to the counter. So we did the same thing. We walked up to the counter to pay and they were kind of upset and throw the bill down without saying anything. I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant. There are better option around town. Pho-Licious has way better beef noodle pho with hot soup and superior quality meat. And Summer Rolls has way better roll and vermicelli as well.
My family and i came here for lunch on a Sunday. We ordered the oxtail pho, #1, and charbroiled pork rolls. It was all really delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are fair and portions are filling.

Food again always consistant. We have dined in and also taken out. Today did take out. Never usually ask for the receipt. Today I decided to ask for one. I guess they charge $0.75 extra for take out! It's not that they charge that bothered me, but the fact that they didn't SAY ANYTHING when I was ordering. Shouldn't sneak in charges without telling customers. Not even a side..BuT will still be back. Food is comfort food!Parking: It's in a plaza with lots of stores. Depending on what time of day, parking can be difficultWheelchair accessibility: Restaurant has lots of space .

Pho Ha is located in the same plaza as Tokyo Wako. It is located right on the corner, which is an easy find. Parking can be difficult in the plaza as there are so many other random businesses and eateries (including Oops Boba, Ben Gong's Tea and Lan Noodle). My husband and I came here this past Saturday with a friend to have dinner. We walked in around 6:35 pm and were seated right away. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering:#45 Goi Cuon, $10.45 prior to tax- Spring rolls with shrimp and pork. This is a common spring roll that I usually order when I dine at Vietnamese restaurants. This order came with 4 rolls. I think for the price, this was fair. This is a perfect option to order to share or as a meal for yourself. This dish is served with a side of peanut sauce. It was good and my mom enjoyed the leftover rolls I brought home for her.#50 Nem Cuon, $10.45 prior to tax- Charbroiled pork spring rolls, another usual that I may order at a Vietnamese restaurant. I actually like this more than the style of spring rolls. This also came in a set of 4 rolls and a large side of peanut sauce. This was also very good. I also brought home one roll for my mom, in which she also loved. #49A Banh Beo, $10.95 prior to tax- I love these steamed rice cakes that are topped with fried garlic, onions, mung bean paste and toasted shredded dried shrimp. If this is on the menu, I will always order this. This order came with 8 rice cakes. This was the last item that was brought to our table, as it does take time to make these. These steamed rice cakes were perfect for me. #01 Large Dac Biet Pho, $14.95 prior to tax- My husband decided to order a large but regretted it, lol. He said he should have ordered the smaller size since the smaller size is still a pretty large portion. But he did like the broth and appreciated that it wasn't salty like other Pho restaurants that we have gone to. I thought the broth was pretty good as well. I also thought the noodles were good (I only had a small amount since I wanted to eat my own items that I ordered). #01 Small Dac Biet Pho, $13.95 prior to tax- Our friend ordered this and thought it was delicious and more than enough for him to eat.-----------------------------(Total= $66.43 after tax, prior to tip)I honestly am surprised of how good this restaurant is and wished we had tried this place sooner. Our friend has gone to this restaurant a few times before so he definitely knew that it was good. I see myself coming back to this restaurant in the near future to try their rice dishes. Please note that our server did not check up on us and only came to the table to take our order, pay for the bill and bring us a to go box. But that is common with most Asian places. If you want a refill on your water, you just have to be proactive in flagging an employee down to get it.

Food is actually better than decent considering the location, but service is pretty much non-existent after you've placed your order. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and located within a strip mall with plenty of parking. As for cost, this place is more expensive than most Vietnamese restaurants in the SGV, but I don't have an issue with that as long as food quality and taste is good.Looking forward to going through the menu since Pho Ha is now part of my weekday lunch rotation.
