Noodles in Fountain Valley, CA

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“Everything is so good and so delicious, I went there with my husband, the restuarant is clean and nice quite we order chicken fried rice also shrimp fried rice, chicken larb and hor mok talay in young coconut all great food and very good service we enjoy and already plan to go for next time😍“

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.“

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.“

“Ordered a variety of items and my expectations were blown out of the water. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. As a very frugal individual, I would gladly pay anytime for this echelon of quality. If you are looking for a top notch Japanese grilling experience, this restaurant is THE best if not one of the best choices you could decide on.

The servers are also very nice, and the atmosphere is cozy. 10/10!“

“the broth is clear, not greasy, which I appreciate. But the flavor just doesn’t fully develop—it lacks that deep chicken richness and layered aromatics I expect from great phở gà. I’d give it a 3.5 out of 5. Not bad, but not crave-worthy either.

Service was quick, the place was clean, and prices were fair.“
