The food took a little longer to come out than a usual pho place. But wow… worth the wait!Get the rib pho, you won’t regret it. I’ve tried many pho places in the west coast and this is easily top 3.

Dining at Pho The Bowl was an exceptional experience from start to finish, earning a well-deserved five stars. The culinary journey began with their aromatic and flavor-rich pho, which was a comforting embrace in a bowl. Each ingredient was fresh, contributing to a symphony of tastes that danced harmoniously with every spoonful. Not to be overshadowed, the variety of dishes offered alongside the pho were equally remarkable, showcasing the depth of Vietnamese cuisine with vibrant flavors and impeccable presentation.What elevated our dining experience to an unforgettable level was the outstanding service, particularly from our waiter, Tommy. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine passion for ensuring guests enjoy their meal were evident. Tommy's recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our culinary adventure with his insightful suggestions and knowledge about the menu. His enthusiasm for the food and care for the dining experience made us feel truly welcome and appreciated.Pho The Bowl not only delivers on exceptional food but also on creating a welcoming atmosphere where every diner feels valued. It's a gem that shines brightly because of its delicious cuisine and the wonderful people like Tommy who make every visit special. I highly recommend Pho The Bowl to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience that will leave a lasting impression.

Very good and convenient location and can see why. Menu of many tasty looking plates to choose from. First time visit with my wife yesterday, tasted each others plates. Every thing was delicious. Main dishes we ordered was Garlic noodles with Chicken was delicious. Especially Pho with Beef, the broth was so tasty. Also, the egg rolls was crunchy and delicious, don't forget combo fried rice too. Will highly recommend and will be returning soon as well.

The best Vietnamese in mission viejo. Short rib pho is amazing and the egg rolls are really good. Everything is super fresh.

Ordered the shrimp spring rolls and shrimp pho and every piece of shrimp had not been deveined so I had to clean out the poop from each one. Other than that the chicken stir fry was pretty good.
Rare steak Pho was tasty and portion is generous. Must also try their calamari. Staff are helpful providing great service.

They NEED to fix the sewage problem!!The food is amazing, which is the only reason we keep going.But the sewage smell in the bathroom is OVERWHELMING!Every time we eat here I try real hard to avoid using the bathroom, but whenever I do use it end up almost throwing up.I feel like it would be a very easy fix. Please do something about it ?

Love this spot!!! We're from San Clemente and this place is always worth the trip. You can't go wrong with the P1, Pho Bone in short rib, and the fried rice any combination!!!

The previous restaurant here was ahhhhmazing, and so for some reason I keep coming back to give these guys another chance. I think they just ran out of chances...First table where we were seated had ants. Crawling on the table. (Ok, ants happen and we were by the window....) Just as I mention it, server bends over the table and uses his thumb to kill the 3 or 4 that were visible. We suggest moving to another table.My last soup experience here was meh, so I went with the salad. Fam started with the garlic shrimp. Usually this is great, even under this ownership. This time they dumped the shrimp into the fryer and didn't try to move them around. The shrimp came out clustered together, with some raw batter. Yumm. Not.The 3 item salad with noodles was a huge serving. I chose BBQ beef, tofu, and egg roll. Egg roll was ok - not great, not bad. The beef was ok - some chewy pieces. Tofu was a bit of a miss - like they re-fried a fried tofu slice. The bowl itself was mostly noodles. So, yes, huge portion, but of what? Definitely not 18$ worth Disappointed, mostly because they are local and used to be stellar.Sooooo... Anyone have a good pho place they can recommend?
