I made an unscheduled visit here and was very happy with the food. Pho broth was nice and hot with a meaty taste.I ordered #1 combination for $13.50 I think and it was enough to get me full. Thai tea is also good and wasn't overly sweet like some places. Perfect small meal today.Total was $20.70 for Large #1 combination pho & Thai Tea. I would come back for a meal
Both my husband and I had stomachache after eating their pho, would not

so I've eaten at so called the "best pho restaurants" in OC. All the way from Diamond Bar, Brea, Yorba Linda, Tustin, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Lake Forest, Garden Grove, Westminister. At least 20 different pho restaurants.But this is my #1 authentic pho restaurant. And I say that with joy and gratitude towards the owner, chef and employees.90% of the pho restaurants only want to make money off off customers. But here they take pho seriously!Pho Crystal has been around over 10 years and they definitely have special know how.Everytime I've eaten here pho quality and flavor have been consistent.I just wish they would add more noodle portion same as extra noodle.Meat portion is good Fresh sliced onion, and veggies.Home made chili oil.Soup is so good I think about the soup everyweek and I look forward to eat here.I live 30-40 minutes away so my wish is that I live closer to this incredible pho restaurant so I can come here more often!Lately I've tried about 5 other pho restaurants closer to my home but still Pho Crystal is my #1 favorite!Support this restaurant and make sure to leave ur 5 star review!

Food was bland in our opinion but it was still alright. There was zero hospitality, we walked in and there was no welcome greeting. We started to order food but then noticed every worker staring at us. The food was crazy expensive, everything is about 14 to 16 dollars.
Great spot. Local small business. Their food is really good. Well at least their Pho which is all I get. Nice to see these mom and pop restaurants stay open and keep doing what they do. They don't have super hip and current vibes. They just have good food and are kind people.

All the prices online are wrong prepare to pay 10 times more that what's listed online. For that much I can make my own fried rice.

Plenty of free parking in the plaza. The building is an older establishment. The bathroom has a strong odor of cleaning solution and not the cleanest area. The food is ok, not spectacular but not bad. The shrimp pho broth was not the best, the pho noodles were too soft, the shrimps were good and a good number of shrimps were in the pho. The beef pho broth was very oily, the beef was good. They offer pho, banh mi, bun, rice dishes etc. They have a big screen tv. Service was ok. Prices are very reasonable. Glad I tried this spot.

Good Pho! I liked the brisket. I would order extra briskey next time. Small restaurant located in a little strip mall. Great place for a quick lunch. Come for the soup, not the atmosphere.

Really 3.5 stars. Not a bad place but I've had better pho. The broth could be better.
Second time coming here that I’ve been served spoiled chicken. It tastes and smells rancid. Just hoping I don’t get food poisoning…
