update 3/27/24 - Went yesterday again for the first time in awhile and it was not as good. The noodles in the pho were not right like soggy and we did not eat much of it. The spring / fresh rolls were very good as was the vegetarian egg rolls but again the Pho was not. In addition to the soggy noodles they broth lacked some flavor as well. The atmosphere is very clean and nice still. The service was very basic nothing exceptional at all.This has become my go to pho spot in OC. Food is consistently good, staff is friendly and quick, restaurant is nice and very clean.Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options but nothing stellar.

Superb! Best by far for Beef Rib Pho!! Super great quality and such amazing service! Easy access and great parking, it’s not a hole in the wall place either. It’s got seating and room and space! Love it! I live in Santa Clarita and luckily I drove by and hit the best “Beef Rib Pho” near me and they pulled up. Sure enough it’s definitely better then I expected too. ?? Coming back for sure and it’s saved in my favorites!!! Thank you Pho Lovers 3 for making my Pho Day! ?

The pho here is tip top. I imagine there's a Vietnamese grandma in the back doing most of the cooking. The service is great. There can be a little bit of a language barrier with some of the people on the phone but they tend to make up for that with just great kindness. The atmosphere is pretty basic nothing to swanky but you're not there for the atmosphere you're there for the food.

My favorite and go-to pho place, hands down. Beef filet mignon pho and chicken pho are amazing. You can choose fat or skinny noodles. Bean sprouts come steamed. They have more herbs than the regular basil. Hot tea is free. Staff is helpful and the restaurant is beautiful and clean. A++

This is the absolute best Pho location I have ever been to. The brisket is so tender and delicious, I also ordered the spring rolls, which are fantastic. I love them staff are nice and friendly. I would definitely come back again and again this is a must try

Driven past this place plenty of time so we decide to stop in.Very clean, very spacious and very friendly staff. The menu has good variety but i was here for the pho.Which sadly was ok. It's not bad, but it's also not great. I think it's a middle tier pho spot. If this was located somewhere other than Orange County, it might seem better but there are too many good pho places nearby. I love that the vinegar onions are free and the green Thai milk tea wasn't bad. Overall i had a good experience, just not my favorite pho.

I would come back and order rare steak and tendon no . Tendon didn't taste so good if you like tendon . They offered flank r nah I didn't like that either . But the broth is good . My server was so nice and offered me to try flank tendon ,

Amazing! Accommodated my party of 30! Strictly a pho spot, no bun or com tam etc): Not many options for foods other than pho, but good thing the pho was good, on the saltier side. Also had pickled onions and all other sides we needed. LOVE the waiters and cooks. They were SO patient, charming, and accommodating it was as if we were eating at home. They really made the experience enjoyable-- great environment for one last family meal before the airport. Modern layout with high ceilings. would definitely come back again.

Clean atmosphere and great customer service! I dined in and ordered the oxtail pho but was disappointed at the poor quality of meat. The soup and egg rolls were good but the meat was dry and tasted old..

Mom and I come here because it is much less busy than PhoHolic. The menu feels awfully familiar, and I am wondering if there is any relation. I did not bother prying and instead just come for the diner vibes. We always sit in a booth, and I enjoy looking out the windows. I have had many meals here at different points of my young adulthood. Relationships of all sorts come and go, but phở has been a constant throughout my life. Dropping some advice randomly here, but always order food that is in the name of the restaurant: i.e. order phở from a phở restaurant. This place always gets the job done.

I did not eat my meal in the restaurant, so I can't comment on the atmosphere. The food however is the best bowl of Pho I have ever had and I've had lots of bowls. They serve one style here to the best of my understanding, the price is fair and the service is BLAZING fast. The serving is the right size, huge for the small and massive for the large. The price is unbelievable, less than $10! Go there!

Ok so we sat ourselves (self seating) and we waited until some nice lady came to ask If we'd been helped. We ordered and my order was wrong. We had asked prior if it came with vegetables already in it, besides the broth and meat. We were told it didn't. We ordered one plain just in case. When both came out they both had onions/ chives on it. I figured they'll just get me a new one? ?‍♀️ nope ?‍♀️ they picked out the onions and stuff. Was finding them while I was eating it. Don't get me wrong it tasted good but honestly defeated the purpose of asking before hand if it came with any or not. I also wouldn't have looked like I didn't enjoy it, because it was really good. Also ordered a coffee, we figured WE ordered it wrong because it was all black. So we asked for creamer, we were informed they didn't have any but had MILK. So we asked if we could have some on the side. I swear we were getting punked because they took it, and it came back looking the literal dam same lol. Also guy came over and said "FREE SIDE DISH" It was a dam side of onions. I swear we WERE GETTING PUNKED. We couldn't help but laugh wondering if this dude was for real. GOOD food but boy was this another level of customer service for us lol some might ask, did we tip? Of course the food was still good, I say there was a language barrier there for sure.
