The portion is big which I like.Haven't tried a lot of Vietnamese food around here but I think it's pretty close to authentic food I've had in Vietnam.The fish sauce is a good indicator of authenticity. - very close but still lacks a little.Overall, for the price paid, it's worth it and not as pricey as compared to anything within Irvine.Parking: A lot of parking space and free.

We love this restaurant. Where been coming here for years and their pho is always delicious. The owners are super friendly and always happy to see us. I get the pho Bo, and the portions are perfect with a generous amount of toppings provided.

The food is great. I'm a regular. Sometimes I pay with EBT, and since I started doing that, the owner always has an excuse for why I can't dine in.. "we're about to close." ..."there's a big party coming in, no room." ..."I'm about to clean tables." And I'm pretty sure it's all just bs because I've seen other parties of two sitting down, eating while she tells me that.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options on the menuKid-friendliness: There's no offensive behavior allowed in the restaurant, and they keep the lobsters in a huge tank, on display, which I would imagine would be cool to see, as a kid.

Great vietnamese place. Definitely recommending their Kung Pao Chicken. Get that as a spicy flavor with a steamed rice and you are golden.

Asked for fish and vegetables. Got some rice, vegetables, shrimp, squid, and a tiny piece of... I think it was fish. $14.00. They won't seat you unless you are a cash paying customer?Vegetarian options: They have too many, Vegetables.... Come and get em.

Food is delicious! They are a little understaffed but with some patience, they have wonderful customer service when dining in. Wings are some of the best iv ever had.

House special lobster with noodles and vegetarian stir fry veggies (that's far back photo) was amazing. The lobster was fresh to order and soo reasonably priced by the pound. I got a 5lb lobster for NYE and my friends and I still took some home. Truly a great gem in old town tustin. Wish I tried this place earlier. The woman in the front was so sweet and the chef who made our food was so nice. 10/10 will come back. It reminds me of my aunty's cooking!
Combination Pho. Much too salty, but the flavor is good and the texture is silky. I like the positive attributes. Salt ruins the flavor profile overall. Meat is mostly fat, poor protein content. Noodles are delicious however. Tendon is more crunchy and firm than soft and chewy. Radio music playing, it's a nice touch. Smells like raw fish inside. Feel like I'm in a fish tank store. Customer service average. Not rude but not friendly. Price for combination Pho is $13 before tax / tip. It's worth $10 in my opinion before tax / tip. Overall rating for food - 6.5 Overall dining experience: 3

I eat here all the time. I come here sometimes just for the passion fruit juice alone. They have really good Bon Bo hue and I never leave without ordering a shrimp spring roll with my order. That's the best part! They have really great service as well very kind workers but they are currently understaffed so you may not be able to sit down. I just want to eat their food so I don't mind taking out! It's so good every time and well priced.

So, I won't lie, after reading the negative reviews I was a bit skeptical to try this place. But my my my I am so glad I did because my goodness this food was amazing! I came for lunch with my coworkers, we got different varieties of Pho (all of which were delicious), I got the garlic chicken, and the Vietnamese egg rolls. Hands down those were THE BEST EGGROLLS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! It's 9:57PM and I am still thinking about those eggrolls. I'll probably be back tomorrow . My mom said the chicken pho with shrimp was the best pho she has ever had! Noodles were fresh, and mmm mmm mmm let me stop because I'm getting hungry. And about the customer service - who cares?! I was completely satisfied so I didn't care if the server checked on me or not. I was in Heaven! Also, anything i needed I GOT UP AND ASKED FOR IT. (you all should try it sometime, it's not so bad) I had a 10 out of 10 experience. I will be back weekly. This place is a gem!

This place will always be special to me I say that because I've been coming here for as long as I can remember since I was little and my dad would always bring me and my family every Friday night to have dinner there. Just yesterday as I was waiting for my food I was standing there remembering all the good memories I had with my family and my dad whom is no longer is with us, so this place holds a special place in my heart. My favorite all time dish will always be chicken fried rice and Vietnamese egg rolls with a side of sprite its chef kiss. I give a huge applause to the main chef who's always been the man is Mr. Trung Nguyen along side with his amazing co helpers. I will forever cherish this restaurant.

Food has ways been great. Have not been disappointed by the food. Probably the most authentic Vietnamese joint around Tustin. Not sure what others are experiencing in terms of bad customer service. I'm Vietnamese so maybe my expectations are lower, and that I'm not a Kevin/Karen. Times are tough. Wanted to put down a good review because I don't think the restaurant deserves the flack it's receiving.
