Pho Tay Bac Restaurant — Restaurant in Brea

Food was just OK. Portions are good and above average but quality of broth is just average at best.

My problem is the daughter of the owner I’m assuming who is constantly on her phone during dinner time. While everyone picks up the slack in the kitchen/front she is too busy on her phone. Surely there must be something she could do instead of checking social media or whatever. No matter how important, an employee; especially an owner, should not be on their phone in the view of customers.

Very unprofessional and unsanitary.

$70 for 3 bowls of pho and some egg rolls, ingredient cost being no more than $10-$15. Pho is supposed to be cheap, if it’s going to be $20+ a person it needs to be a little bit better considering that you can get better quality for cheaper elsewhere.

Restaurant is very run down and has that sticky feeling everywhere. Worth going once if you are in proximity but definitely not worth going out of your way for in this run down plaza.

2/5, would have been 3-4/5 if the daughter was...

I have been going to this spot for the last 7 years. I am usually on a low carb diet. So I typically order Pho soup, NO NOODLES exta steak and extra onion!! No carbs doesnt mean no flavor!! I compare every Pho spot I go to to this place!! Its a small shop but there food is always hot and ready!! I call ahead and when I get there my table is ready with my drink and condiments as I walk in. I always feel so welcome. They get my food out fast. The broth is a light brown and is always packed with flavor. I will always come back here. Best PHO EVER!! The BBQ Pork on the side is amazing. I have not found another sport with this flavor. The egg rolls are always hot...

This place is soooo bomb, my favorite pho place and always the go-to! good service always and prices are great. We always get a large well done brisket pho and a side of extra noodles and broth. Then just switch around some noodles and broth to even it out and its like you have a large and a small, perfect for 2 people & only 10bux every time. Waiters are nice and attentive and theres RARELY a wait time. Even after your order food it usually arrives piping hot right away. Great every time. Try with lime, chili +oil and siracha!! My stomach always feels so great after and im sure the stuff is probably great for...
