“the food was delish 😋 it was our first time and we will definitely be back“

“We dropped in at Pho Saigon last night and had a wonderful takeaway. The food was typical Vietnamese, light, fresh (in the sense of flavour and beautifully cooked. The service was swift but not pressured and the takeaway was parcelled neatly and securely. We will return...“

“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.“

“Absolutely dee- lish! Would definitely go again.“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“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.“

“This place came in clutch for being open on the holidays when most other places in the area were closed. After getting what felt like a child’s meal for dinner at a restaurant in Irvine and then trying to go to a couple other places on the way home for a snack only to discover they had closed early, my partner luckily remembered this place and suggested checking if it were open. Fortunately, it was, and although I ordered in person, the food was ready for takeout within a few minutes. I got the grilled tofu and rice combo, and it was great. Nothing fancy, but it was well-seasoned and tasted like a home-cooked meal, which is exactly what I wanted.“

“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.“

“Quick and easy and good all in one“

“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.“

“We have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for the past two years. After looking at Yelp, we decided to give them a try. Wow we found a great restaurant with fresh good tasting food. The atmosphere is a little different with the bar area being in the center. But with the awesome service and fantastic food who cares. You have to try it as soon as you can.“

“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.“
