Wow - for all the serious Pho heads out there... This is a seriously legit Pho joint in Orange County. We went here as part of our Pho Crawl throughout OC and tasted the followings - Pho 79, Pho Nic (2nd place), Pho RedBo, Pho Kuroushi and Pho Lab. This one won hand down. The place is clean, modern and wonderful wait staff... But we are here for PHO, so here is the review... First, the broth - superb - rich but very balanced. Meat cuts - plenty and wonderfully tender. Noodles - on point - right amount of chewiness and held up well even after 15 minutes. Condiments were served on cute, little individual plate and one really cool thing - the scallions were shredded in long strands (vs. simply chopped)... The price point is really great - better quality than either of the Wagyu's beef joint (about 7-8 bucks less). Run here!

We ordered rib bone and combination pho, the meats are very tender, but the flavor of soup is a bit plain. Egg roll was good.

My husband and I have been coming here since they opened. We love the food but feel like the service has gone down in the past couple of months. All the servers look like they are high schoolers who need more experience when it comes to handling more complex issues. Last time I was there there was a billing issue and I tried to explain to the server that things were not adding up and he seemed confused and didn’t know how to fix it. I just told him it was ok and paid for it anyway since it was $6 difference.

Service was great and their pho is amazing. Definitely would go again.
I recently visited PHO LAB, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The customer service was top-notch the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. They took the time to explain the menu, making it easy to choose the perfect meal.
The food was absolutely delicious! The pho was rich and flavorful, with fresh ingredients that really made the dish stand out. We also tried some appetizers, and they were just as impressive. The portions were generous, and everything tasted authentic and fresh.
PHO LAB has become one of my go-to spots for Vietnamese food, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal with excellent service!
Feel free to tweak it to your liking!

I really wish the food was better! I got the rib soup, and was looking forward to some fall of the bone ribs. They were rather chewy, but the meat was flavourful. The soup itself was lacking the star anise flavour and the chili paste seemed to be mixed with Sriracha.
The service was very good and the team was attentive and checked on us a few times.

Almost no air conditioner, even hotter than outside. Small food portion of appetizers and main entries. Too expensive comparing the food size with the price. Won’t go second time. Pho is too salty. Sad experience. I should have chosen a different restaurant. This chicken was too dry to chew. Even the taste didn’t worth the price at all

Vegetarian options: We had the tofu spring rolls and veggie pho sound and the were both outstanding.
