8 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Lake Forest

“This is my first time at Simply PHO. I love Pho Thai but I haven’t found one that has good quality beef. The broth and noodles were delicious but the quality of the meat was not to my liking. The meat was tough and had fat. The ambiance was humble. I might come back and try their veggie pho.
There’s plenty of parking.“

“Excellent experience here at Pho So 1 in Lake Forest Dr and Trabuco Rd.

Party of three on a Sunday around 3:15 pm. The restaurant was not busy at all. Very clean inside, very neat and organized. Lots of parking available.

Staff were kind and welcoming. This was my first time at a Pho restaurant, and yes… I am a fan now.

Prices were excellent, and the food quantity was plenty. The quality of the food was superb! Everything was so tasty and delicious“

“Best pho in town. Get it now !!“

“The Vietnamese food at Thanh Binh 2 is reasonably priced, diverse, and delicious.

Unlike other places, the portion sizes come in three options: S, M, and L, which is great.

However, it was a bit uncomfortable when they brought the card machine directly to the table for payment, including tipping.

On the positive side, they provided ample napkins on the table.“

“The food is so delicious and flavorful. The place is beautiful, the portion and quality is worth your budget. Me and my husband was satisfied for what we order. Excellent job Pho Tam Cali. We will definitely come back.“

“This is our go to for pho, pad se ew (sp?), and garlic noodles. I like the steak so much and the veggies are super fresh.

Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to eggs so I just opt for no egg in the dishes I order. They are great.“

“Pho Ha Noi earns 4* from me. If I lived in Garden Grove, it might be a 3* rating relative to the other pho places that abound in that Little Saigon, but for South County, it is a solid 4* relative to the others around. When I take my father, who lives in LWV out for pho, this is his favorite one. I usually get Rare Steak & Tendon pho or a Broken Rice dish with shredded pork and charbroiled pork. Both are always more than acceptable, but the one thing I miss is the fried egg on top of the rice, that my favorite Vietnamese place in San Diego does“

“I’ve been obsessed with this place since the very first time I tried it. I get the large #7 Pho with grilled pork and add vegetables. Top it with fresh basil, bean sprouts, hoisin sauce and a little lime squeeze and boom, HEAVEN in a bowl. I also LOVE the lychee smoothie (it’s more like a slush or icee) with boba. The spring rolls are tasty as well. It’s in the Foothill Center near the movie theater, so it’s a staple for us when we go to see a film. Plenty of parking, indoor and heated outdoor seating available, it’s nearly impossible to place an online order for pick up, so I just call in my order if we don’t have time to dine in.“
