Happy Pho — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

When hubby and I want to experience feeling valued and appreciated and enjoy the most satisfying pho soup preparation, we head to Happy Pho restaurant across Harbor Blvd.- from Sprouts Market. Owner wife ‘Lynn’ and husband, Tony, have created a warm and happy environment full of home-made food, well cared for plants, lots of booths and a menu to satisfy every desire and eating mood. We are connoisseurs of pho, so what we appreciate is the extra wide noodles we request and the delicate flavor of our broth-full of plentiful seafood! We are happy and we keep coming back to Happy Pho for the gracious treatment we receive, for the reward of knowing our preferences are remembered and we are needs fully accommodated. We always leave feeling content and well treated with a warm, fully-satisfied, feeling inside.

Thank you for doing me a favor of saving my time because I would have trash it the...

Affordable completely-vegan Pho!

I love rice in all its forms. So it’s no surprise that I love Pho. It’s basically rice noodles with broth and veggies. Put some sriracha on it and it’s hands down one of my favorite Asian dishes!

But it’s often quite hard to come across good Pho as a vegetarian. That’s because most of the restaurants still slaughter innocent cows to make the broth. Not this place!

We decided to give this place 4-stars because the service is overall unimpressive and the location/tables are at times unkempt. Save that, the food is...
