Pho So 1 Lake Forest

The broth was pretty good. Portion was just right for me, but bigger eaters will want to order the large. They don't serve as much protein though.

To the Owners: Your employees are very rude when taking phone orders. Twice, they hung up on me. The second time, they told me, “I don’t understand you. Come here and order in person.” Please ensure you have someone who can take orders clearly and professionally.

Manager or Owner with a very unpleasant attitude, if you ask questions about the food, be aware he'll be bothered by it..

I would give maybe four stars if it wasn't because of unpleasant behavior ...

I'm not sure.

We ordered pho soup with raw steak & meatball, and grilled pork vermicelli!
- Pho was hot and fresh. Soup base was ok, but it seems to be chicken broth more than beef broth. Still good to me
- they gave a plate of bean sprout/herbs with plastic wrap on top, small portion. I asked for one more and they were happy to give me more
- I like the vermicelli more as the grilled pork was tasty! It came with egg rolls as well

Place was spacious, not very crowded. Service was average, everything was smooth & right timing.

Been there many times, food and service always been good, except for last Sunday there was a rude waiter - tall buff guy with glasses. Asked for an extra plate and as he brought it, I noticed needing a fork too, very politely of course, asked for it, and he said why didn't you tell me earlier - I followed him to the counter, get the fork from his hand and told him no need to walk back to our table and it wasn't busy at all - just two other tables. I always like to tip at least 20% but my son and I felt he deserved no tip. I will go there again, but if I see him again, no more dining there. Been to Vietnam few times and have encountered many polite people unlike this guy. He needs to work on his attitude too.

Unfortunately couldn’t try, they ran out of rice and vermicelli on a Monday night. Only thing was Pho.

When you hear customers speaking Vietnamese you know it must be good. Bun Cha was so good. Perfect meal for winter and a healthy way to detox from all the holiday sugar overload.

Staff was extremely unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. Food was average, broth was virtually flavorless. Would not return.

When you can't afford to go to the Pho or Vermicelli headquarters, this is the spot! Not 100% traditional, but the flavors are there. Quality is not skimmed on dishes. Reasonable prices.
