“Came in to try the Banh Mi, and definitely was not disappointed! Very generous size for the price. Amazing prices here overall, which is a big plus! No loss of quality as a result.
The spring rolls here are also very good for the price and portions, so I highly recommend it. I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I imagine it will continue to be as good as it was last time.
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for some good Vietnamese eats.“

“A true hidden gem that consistently delivers amazing, affordable food! It had been a little while since my last visit, but a serious craving for Bun Bo Hue brought me back. And as always, the owner came through with fantastic customer service – that personal touch really makes a difference.
Beyond the delicious food and great service, I had a somewhat unexpected observation that speaks volumes about this place. I needed to use the restroom, which is located in the back. I'd never ventured back there before, but I was genuinely impressed: it was hella clean and incredibly organized. You know what they say – the state of the restroom can often tell you a lot about the rest of the restaurant's hygiene and attention to detail. This spot clearly cares!
Now, back to the food. My Bun Bo Hue craving was more than satisfied – the soup was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. My partner opted for the Vermicelli with Grilled Meat, a fantastic choice, and even got a side of their Pho broth (which was also damn good, by the way!). And you absolutely cannot leave without trying the Egg Rolls – they're a definite must-try!“

“Delicious vegetable crispy spring rolls and yummy cold shrimp rolls. The chicken wings were not spicy enough, however still good. Looking forward in trying the pho next time. Service was ok and price seemed high compared to other restaurants.“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person’s turn. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be back, as the pho didn’t quite justify the price for me. That said, their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC.“

“Food and service were great. We are seated at around 2pm. Not a long wait even if we made reservation for 1:45. Inquired about happy hour menu. We were told we can only order from happy hour menu if we are seated in the patio area which is unheard of but other than that all is good.“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“I loved the atmosphere as soon as I entered LePho. It smelled fantastic and they were playing a playlist of songs by Cigarettes After Sex ?, my fave. The employees were very friendly and the rib eye pho I ordered was so delicious. Though it seemed rather expensive for a bowl of pho, the beef is grass fed and the broth flavor stood out compared to other pho restaurants. I will also point out that it seemed a bit greasier than it needed to be, but other than those two things, I really enjoyed my lunch there today! ?❤️“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

“I will go back. The pho was very good and full of stuff, I like that.
Couple of complaints, Pepsi and Diet Pepsi my friend and I received tasted like medicine. Most likely due to bad mixture of syrup and carbonated water.
I had her exchange it with regular iced tea, omg, even worse.
You guys gotta taste your drinks every day. That’s good management. Even the water tasted awful.
Otherwise, good place. Next time, I’ll take my own water or get a fresh coconut. They can’t screw that up.“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Very enjoyable Pho restaurant. I got their House Combo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wasn’t the most flavorful broth I’ve had, but it genuinely hit the spot. Reasonably priced, large portions, and free noodle refills. Easily two meals which makes it very cost effective.“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.
We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.
We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.
BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.
There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.
This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.
Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.
The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.
I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Considering how hard it was to find this place, I gave it a mere 4/5. Other than that my meal was terrific! The C3 Glazed Chicken, rice, and house salad hit the spot (maybe a few more pieces of lettuce and veggies in salad portion).
Had to try the Vietnamese Iced coffee which was definitely worth it. Priced fairly decent for the quality and quantity of the dish.
Pro tip; train staff to learn English. it’ll help boost customer satisfaction“

“Great portions, great price. Their pho is like medicine for me. The meat is always perfectly cooked, the broth is thick and flavorful, the bon mi is amazing, and their Thai tea is made from scratch.
At this point, these people are family, no reason to go anywhere else.“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“I have been eating here since 2002 while still in high school. First time ever eating Pho here. These 3 Viet guys from my classes introduced me to Pho at this place. Been going here whenever I’m craving Pho or Viet food in the Irvine area. The most flavorful Pho broth out of any Viet restaurant I’ve ever ate in California.“

“This is the OG spot where the Vietnamese get their nuoc mia.
I come here every time I'm in OC.
I usually get the penny wort sugarcane (nuoc mia rau ma).
Bf orders the kumquat which is very flavorful.
Great price too! Their small sizes are $4-5.
Don't bother with cococane. This is where the locals go for their sugarcane.“

“We ate at Pho So 1 in Lake Forest and ordered a few dishes, including brisket pho, BBQ spring rolls (#4), vermicelli bowl (#89), and #57. The total came to about $72, which felt a bit pricey—but the food was tasty.
The BBQ rolls were our favorite,.
Dish #89 was light and refreshing. It’s perfect for a warm day for anyone who prefers clean flavors.
Dish # 57 was just okay.
Service was quick, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid spot for Vietnamese food if you don’t mind spending a bit more. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Went on NYE with a large party. Was a very impromptu decision, but called in advance to see what their hours were. They were super happy to have us and had our table ready immediately. Place isn't super big, so just be aware if you plan to come in with an 7 or 10 top. Price was super reasonable.
Kid-friendliness: They were super accommodating with 4 kids in our group, 3 of which were toddlers.“
