“I’ve heard about Pho 79 being one of the best pho in OC. After finding Phoholic broth too sweet, I decided to try Pho 79, and it did not disappoint!
We arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday and waited around 20mins for our table.
We ordered a large pho, grilled pork with broken rice, and fried spring rolls.
I found the pho broth to be well balance just slightly too greasy for me but not a big issue at all! We weren’t offered noodle option so I’m assuming there is only one noodle option?
The fried spring rolls were decent but I think I’ve had better? This dish didn’t really stand out too much, and I will not order again next time I visit.
The grill pork with broken rice was pretty standard, tasted good but I think I’ll try something else or stick with pho for my next visit.
Paying for our meal was a bit confusing? I wasn’t sure if they would bring check over to table, but seems like others would go up to counter and pay so I just did that. It is cash only which is a bit inconvenience but I came prepared!
Will definitely come back for more pho if I’m in the area!“

“Pho 45: Fast, Friendly, and Delicious
Pho 45 in Garden Grove is a gem for Vietnamese food lovers. The service is incredibly quick, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the pho is absolutely delicious. With its flavorful broth, tender meat, and fresh herbs, it's a must-try for anyone in the area.“

“Will give 5* because the waitress was so nice which is extremely hard to find with Vietnamese restaurants.
Pho broth is good but I found the noodles to be a bit overdone. Would like them a bit more al dente. The “steak” is also a bit tough and I wish they wouldn’t bury it all on the bottom so it gets all cooked instead of being rare as advertised.
The inside is also HOT with no formal AC.
Not sure if i will be back, but they provided a decent enough experience.“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“This place has my favorite chicken dishes. When I’m feeling like I need something with broth, I’m going for the pho ga. When I’m feeling for some rice, I pick the com ga chien ( fried chicken rice). They have many other great dishes as well. If you’re in the area, stop by and dine . You won’t be disappointed.“

“I was a regular here for years when I first moved to California in 2006. Haven’t been back for 15 years because we moved away. We just moved back and as soon as I taste the soup again the other day all the memories came back. Love the flavor so much. Also a big plus the owner and team here is so nice.
Ps must try their chen tiet. 😅“

“I’ve gone here ever since I was little boy and I’m still not sure why my family loves this place so much. The bowls are relatively affordable and they have tasted consistently good for over 15 years perhaps it’s trip down memory lane for my family. It’s never too crowded and the pho tastes authentic. Also it’s cash only, but they do have an ATM machine.“

“We ordered half of the steam empress chicken with the ginger and scallion sauce with clear noodle and rice noodles it was the BEST combos. So good! That we forgotten to take photos of them. Kids ordered beef ball noodles and beef pho noodles it was all gone by the time we are done. We got 2 bottle waters it was half the regular size of a regular 16oz bottle water and they charge $1.50 each we thought that was funny for such a smal 8ozl bottle. ?“
“We are visiting from San Diego and came across this place down the street from my parents house. Walked in and was immediately greeted with a warm welcome from the old lady and the service was on point my wife and I ordered the spare room soup, which was delicious and I will definitely order again. My wife ordered the chicken noodle soup and it was a 10 out of 10 people are nice here is the food is good and that’s all I can ask for. I am a foodie, and I know a good broth when I taste one.“

“I thought the restaurant was beautiful and the atmosphere was relatively quiet as we went during a windy afternoon, the service from the cashier was great and she was very friendly. :) the pho was good, I have a favorite spot that's now a bit out of the way since I've moved to OC, but this had a nice a suble flavor profile, and the Bahn mi was good as well, a bit too oily if I'm being honest. Flavors were good though :)“

“Simple place with TVs playing local news. The pho was delicious with flavorful broth.I would come again if I lived closer and wanted pho.Oddly enough, they put up the closed sign at 7:41pm on Sunday, so maybe the hours aren't as reliable...?“

“Pretty good place. The #3 pho had good flavor and sate was available which is a huge plus in my book. Authentic taste and lots of garnishes to choose from. Nothing wrong with the service but don’t expect to be coddled. The only negative about this place is the cleanliness. I would definitely come back here.“

“A simple bowl of pho for a cool day. The broth was exceptional, especially the chicken broth. I will be back for the chicken pho next time.
Pho with rare steak and the brisket was good, but the brisket was almost all fat, and I regretted ordering it because I had to take out almost all the brisket. Now they have a "free drink with an order" special, which I thought was a good thing.“

“Love what I ordered #38, the grilled pork is just right, not burned. Hubby ordered the beef ribs with bone pho. It is also very good. The only bad part I have to say is the mango kumquat drink. It is listed as their top 10 drink. But it is just some artificial flavors with no real fruits inside. Totally not worth for $6. After all, they are not a tea shop. So I don’t blame them. The food and environment are very good. They are also clean too.
Parking: Parking space is small and lots of restaurants and market in the plaza.“
