Noodles in Garden Grove, CA

“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!“

“Highly recommend as someone who’s gone to many pho restaurants this one exceeded my expectations. I got the Thai tea, egg rolls and filet mignon pho everything was delicious and the customer service was outstanding. Everything tasted very fresh. Highly recommend.“

“Overall service was satisfactory and atmosphere was just Korean restaurant as you expect. Ordered Hang A Ri Kalgooksu but honestly speaking, LA branch had better flavor. When I arrived 11:04AM in the Friday, 70% of seat is already occupied, so when you are planning to visit, you may have some wait times.“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“Great food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Awesome“

“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Good place for lunch and dinner“

“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.

I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.

For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.

For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.

The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.“

“I live in the area and love going to HanaMaru sushi with my partner. We enjoy the food and the pleasant staff who always kindly greet us when we enter and leave!

They have a wide variety of rolls so there should be something for everyone. I've enjoyed all the different ones I've tried so far. For appetizers, chicken karaage and edamame are my go-to's. They do have other items on the menu that aren't sushi so if you do come with non-sushi lovers, there will still be something for them.

For parking, just be warned it might be a little difficult depending on the time of day you go as it's in a small lot that multiple businesses share. However, we've been lucky so far in usually finding a spot either at the right time or not having to wait too long before someone else leaves.“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“I believe I’ve found the best jjampong in town. The photo is the other half portion I’m trying to finish but couldn’t. For $16 this could easily feed 2 ppl, very generous potion and the broth is super flavorful.
Recommend and would come back again to try other items!“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Omg this is my new favorite spot for Hu tieu nam vang! I got the dry version with rice noodles which came it to around $15. It was soo delicious and perfectly balanced. The sauce brings the whole dish together and love the pickled garlic! Broth was so good and comforting. The gentlemen taking our order was so friendly and upbeat. Definitely recommend!!“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“It was my first time going to this restaurant and I was surprised to see Jjambbong served. First of all, the portion was large, the noodles were chewy, and the soup was like a thick jjamppong soup.
The downside was that the soup was too hot and there was too much of it, but I ate it well.“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“I actually didn't expect it to be delicious!!! I ordered a fish soup
#90 Sichuan Fish
And we also ask
#43 a seafood soup
Pan fried Noodle sea food.
We didn't finish it.. mine was very spicy... how to relieve the hangover ?.. highly recommended... ? And they have their ice cream area or drinks like Brown sugar boba milk. Mega rich!! And they have a 25% discount until November 2025.... Mega Nice

Parking: You won't regret it.. I'm surprised by the taste and the discount too!!!“

“If you love Hu Tieu like I do, this is a place for you to try out. Their menu was very simple and easy to order. The hu tieu dry style with the broth on the side was so good. Bring me right back to my childhood time in Việt Nam. I recommend to go early to minimize waiting in line and finding parking.“

“Amazing texture on the egg noodles. You probably know this already but their noodles are made fresh every day. At this price-point, you cannot beat it for value. In addition, their duck noodles are also the best in town. The duck leg quarters are tender and delicious.“

“Great service and food was awesome! Coming back tomorrow!“

“Vietnamese Pho in California, delicious and irresistible flavor. The broth is rich, the meat is tender and fragrant. Affordable prices, suitable for students' budgets. The restaurant space is clean and airy. Staff serve quickly and enthusiastically.“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“They had the best chewy noodles and broth was clean and simple! I got the noodle soup with duck and it was the simplest dish but was absolutely perfect. They were open on thanksgiving day so we felt extra thankful to have this meal on a holiday. We will definitely be back!“

“Good spot that’s 24 hours! Sister had pho and I had a beef plate with eggs that came out on sizzling platter. Also had Vietnamese coffee. Food was great service, well once food was ordered and dropped never had any further interaction. I wanted another coffee only nobody came to check up on us so it was never ordered. Food great and service not so good.“

“First time trying during the soft opening, i shared the birria broth pho with beef rib meat its absolutely delicious it doesn't come too spicy so you can add Sriracha to spice it up, the meat was very tender and flavorful. The price was very fair the atmosphere is clean and looks good, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I will return again to try other items like their smoothies and other pho flavors“

“First Experience It was so yummy and delicious I would recommend it😋🤤“

“The best bánh mì and coffee in the world. I recommend it!👏💥❤️“

“Last week we went down to OC for a conference and we tried this noodle restaurant for lunch and it was great.The price is very reasonable and the place is clean, it even has ac for the hot day.We ordered the large egg noodles special and clear noodles for my wife. It does offer Chinese donuts fried crispy which is perfect with our noodle soups.The service is fast although we’re the fist ones there LOL. My wife was skeptical about this but we tried it anyway.The broth is perfectly seasoned and tasty, not much msg as most of the noodles restaurants around.The bowl looks small but there’s plenty of ingredients inside because the bowl is deep.We enjoyed the soups and we’re glad that we tried it out.“

“i will return again and will recommened“

“Is a good quality and authentic Vietnamese pho. The coffee is very good also.“

“Món ăn ngon, giá rẻ, đa dạng. có Dj và Piano ở friday, có đồ ăn chay. Phù hợp cho family,couple và tổ chức birthday, party!“

“Cozy little local restaurant with wonderful staffing! We came by near closing time and they were still very kind and efficient. Portions are great and ingredients are fresh but there is a limited quantity so it’s best to go early. Yummy and filling! This place is Ike Eveland approved ?“

“I love it
My Quang is signature noodle in central of Vietnam. Pork broth. Topping: seasoning chicken pork shrimp and quail egg.
I want to try more next time.
Thick taste of broth, crispy rice paper and fresh salad. Very close to Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Quite spacy Indoor

The best Quang noodle shop ever eaten in OC. A bit of a western hybrid with Da Nang. Many countries. Marinated chicken, pork and shrimp are very rich and flavorful. Delicious variety of vegetables. Cool water is fine.
There are many more dishes. See you next time. Shares parking area with QT Golden Market Place.
The shop is clean and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.“

“The restaurant area is a bit small and you should probably reserve a table before you arrive. But if you have to wait, it's worth it. The food is delicious and very similar to that in Saigon. The only thing is that there are not many parking spaces and sometimes you have to compete with others for parking spaces.

Parking: There is free parking in front of the store, but there are too many cars and you have to compete.“

“The food was good, and they have special of buy 2 get 1 free right now so if anyone is on a tight budget during these times, great place to give it a try. One thing though, they have a credit card machine but only want cash so that’s a turn off for me.“

“This is hands-down by far the best pho I’d ever had in my life. I’ve been to more then 20 pho restaurants in LA area and this place beats them all. It’s hard for me to give 5 star to a place and this is definitely the place deserves it. The soup tastes outstandingly good. I will dine in next time😂“

“The fry noodles here are the best! Our family loves it here. The dish seems simple enough yet we’ve tried other places and always find ourselves wishing we would have just gone here instead. Our server was really nice and helpful. Quick efficient service.Note: water is not free so might as well order a drink.“

“The bun rieu/ crab vermicelli is perfect for a cold or rainy day. plenty of crab cake, a soft shell crab, oc, tofu, fresh veggie, and the flavor is always on point. They have a wide selection of drinks and my favorite is the Thai green tea with foam.“
