Delicious pho, quality worth the price, will definitely stop by again, especially beef bone pho... there are many dishes here for everyone to choose from.

My mother and I came here for dinner today. I got a pho tai, and my mom got a pho ga. I got mine served immediately and decided to wait until my mom got hers before eating. After sitting there waiting for 30 minutes with no updates from the waiter, my mom and I asked the cashier for the status. He said they were backed up in the kitchen, and we had to wait, so my mom switched it to pho tai instead, and I decided to pay for it there since we were already up there. When we came back to the table, the bussers had already dumped my pho away and started cleaning the table. I never got to take a bite of the pho at all. We had to let the cashier know, and we got a replacement. No apologies, horrible customer service. I'll take my money elsewhere.

The bowl of pho is only 15$ but the bowl of grilled pork ribs is not enough to eat. The 3 ribs are so filling that they are worth the money. Delicious chicken pieces, delicious broth for chicken pieces 90

Came in to try this place out it looks very busy and promising from outside. Took us a while to be seated had to wave someone down just to ask for a table. Took them a while to come and greet us. Quick to order but slow service, food was rushed to come out. Then our drinks took a while to come to the table. There was no communication whatsoever asked us if the food was good or needed more water since I was dying of thirst. I was highly dissapointed because everyone was getting serviced and here we are ignored. I have to double think if I want to return cause it's dissapointing when the service isn't great since that is the important key in running a buisness. If you are planning on eating here think twice

This place is good for sure. I know there are some places where the broth may be better but if you are looking for a solid bowl of Pho...you can depend on Pho Lover. I've been going here for YEARS, and there definitely have been a lot of changes to the menu in the past year or so, but overall...it is consistent. Also, we had the popcorn chicken today and it was actually VERY VERY good! Definitely give it a try!On a side note.... their new toothpick dispenser makes me happy lol. It is electronic....and it is a neat little gadget lol.

Pretty good pho with delicious broth. You can only get one size of bowl and it looks like a large. Our bowls came out in like 3 minutes. Service was good too.

Last summer, i was lucky enough to eat here. This was by far the BEST Pho I've ever tasted. Quality, taste, and a large portion of beef ribs were amazing and plentiful. The distinct taste in spices and beef aroma that are part of the Pho ingredients is top notch.
Went to 85 degrees for some pastries and ended up eating here because it's right next door inside the mall. Had the back ribs pho which was actually really tender meat and not to rough like at others pho's I've tried before as well as not having to much fatty in the broth. Overall very spacious location and definitely kid friendly. Everything was brought out in a timely manner and servers were very quick. I would definitely come back.
A Flavorful Haven for Pho EnthusiastsPho Lovers in Garden Grove is living up to its name, capturing the hearts (and taste buds) of pho enthusiasts like myself. It's located in the busy business area between Westminster and Brookhurst AVe. Lots of parking in this lot, but please be careful of the drivers in this area. So after being recommended by a family member, I decided to give it a try, and I was pretty happy with my positive experience here. The first thing that impressed me was the consistency and depth of flavor in their broth. I opted for the Pho Dac Biet (special combination), a delightful mix of thin-sliced beef, fatty beef, and tendon. Pho Lovers gave the perfect balance, a rich, flavorful broth that stood out immediately. It's evident that they take pride in maintaining authenticity while ensuring a memorable taste experience.The staff managed to seat us within 5 minutes on a busy Sunday afternoon. The service was accommodating, and I appreciated the efficiency and attentiveness of the staff. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but I must say that they had one of the best menu designs ever. Come take a look!Pho Lovers has earned its spot among the Vietnamese restaurants in the area, offering a range of options that cater to diverse tastes. If you're in the Garden Grove area and craving a delicious bowl of pho, Pho Lovers is undoubtedly worth a visit.

I continue to come back because the pops love the 4 beef bone they provide however I feel it's salty for my liking. I gave them one star for food but even with pho, the ribs is a gimmick. I don't understand why the lines are so long on weekends and daytime there isn't any customers. So bizarre. Customer service sucks, they pretend they don't speak English or act dumb after the 3rd request and seriously after this last visit I'm pretty upset. I ordered a Thai ice tea and haven't even drink it and when I went back in they said they didn't have it. I would have went back quicker but the bums standing outside was blocking the entrance way. I actually talked to the cashier and suggested that they hold onto drinks for a few minutes but disregarded it so I asked him if it was too much to ask for to make a new one since I didn't drink it he said "no sorry", you're not sorry. I should have asked for my $15 tip back.

I ate a bowl of pho that was made very meticulously. I felt that the soul of Pho was brought into every detail of the bowl of pho here. In particular, oxtail is cooked very meticulously, so it is soft, fragrant, and not overheated. You will also feel very comfortable when you can clearly feel every little flavor of each material. For example, Like herbs kept fresh and fragrant. The right type of basil is chosen so it has a unique aroma. I find it truly memorable and respectful.

Decent pho for when you're hungry and don't feel like waiting in line at the other locations. Their noodles are different. It's a bit too doughy for me. Broth is decent. Lots of meat. So that makes up for it. Easy access and lots of parking.
