Secret Phở - Gà Nướng Lu - Clay Vase Baked Chicken

Great food, best chicken and garlic noodles in entire OC. My kid enjoyed the food passionately. Service was great. Hopefully they be able to open all the time.

It’s such a cute little restaurant with European decor well hidden away, like the name suggests. The clay baked chicken is super juicy and tender, with a hint of buttery taste. The restaurant was a bit understaffed but food came out quite fast. Our server was super nice and made sure that we got the right sauces for all the different dishes, which shows the attention to details! My family came in on a Monday night so it wasn’t crowded at all, but I’m glad we got to try this place before it becomes super popular, as it rightfully deserves.

10 minutes waiting for food even with only 1 server and 1 chef. High quality food. Would recommend.

The chicken tastes good i liked there sweet rice w/yellow bean la dua the restaurant have some good item.

Fantastic chicken! Very juicy with nice crispy skin. Owners are very kind people and treat customers well. Cute little secret restaurant with great food. I spoke with the owners and they really understand all the little details needed to cook the chicken to perfection. Will be back!

Our office went there for lunch, small place, kinda hidden, a little hard to see, directly opposite of Boba Pop. But don't let the location fools you, every dishes came out very good, the flavor of each dish really tasty, and great price! Small bowl of Pho is $8! Their signature chicken is must try!Will definitely come back, good food, good price, what not to like!

Recently moved into the area and stopped by on a Friday night. Its criminal how quiet it it on Friday night! The place looks nice inside and everything was clean.The pho special was delicious. I love the broth they had. Fortunately, I live near by so I definitely plan on visiting again!

First opened in 2019 and recently re-opened.$8.99 for a very filling bowl of Special Phở.I like to put the raw beef on the side, marinate it with lime, hoisin sauce and sriracha, then dip it in the broth for an extra rare beefy taste.The broth was a perfect balance, not too much salt or msg...you can smell and taste the actual meat from the broth itself.I hope this Pho Secret restaurant doesn't stay secret for long. Good job to the chef.!

Restaurant clean, food is good. Owner very nice. ??

Not bad, but not good enough

Very good clay baked chicken, and the dipping sauces are great too.

I can't stop coming here. #19 (Chicken breast pho) is delicious. Their BBQ chicken seems to be ordered a lot feom the people around me. I will be bringing a friend tomorrow to try it. Everyone ai have brought loves it. Great presentation, high quality pho, friendly staff and the ambience is pretty chill! Try it!

Great service, clean, food better than expect

Real bbq chicken!

The secret pho.... I mean it is secretive based on location cause no one was in the restaurant, but I think they could've used the word "secret" to their benefit by dimming down the lights. It almost felt like we were on stage eating. Decor was different from a typical pho restaurant and nice. We walked into the restaurant for a specific item even though it was a pho restaurant: the Clay pot chicken (Ga nuong lu). It was well worth the price because the chicken was that delicious. Crispy skin with moist tender meat... However the rice was too dry for my taste. It was intentionally cooked that way so it would have a more chewy texture. Paired along with the chicken were three dipping sauces, salt & pepper w line, spicy creamy cilantro, and soy sauce. Service was spectacular but there were only two tables including us. They were extremely attentive could almost read our minds on what we wanted. Unfortunately they ran out of the passion fruit drink ☹️. Would have loved to tried that.
