As a devoted fan of Vietnamese cuisine, I've had my fair share of pho across various eateries, but Pho Hong Long in Fountain Valley, CA, has captured my heart and taste buds like no other. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a truly authentic dining experience.
The star of the show is undoubtedly their Pho Dac Biet, a harmonious blend of savory broth, tender meats, and fresh herbs. Each spoonful is a testament to the chef's dedication to quality and consistency. The meatballs are succulent and well-seasoned, complementing the delicate rice noodles perfectly.
What sets Pho Hong Long apart is their option to add eggs on the side. It's a game-changer, adding a rich and creamy texture that elevates the dish to new heights. The eggs are cooked just right, with a slightly runny yolk that melds into the broth, creating a luxurious and comforting meal.
The consistency of their pho is remarkable. Every visit reaffirms my belief that they have mastered the art of pho-making. The balance of spices, the clarity of the broth, and the quality of ingredients remain unparalleled, making each visit as delightful as the last.
Moreover, the restaurant maintains an impeccable level of cleanliness. The dining area is always spotless.
In conclusion, Pho Hong Long is a gem within Fountain Valley's dining scene. It's a place where traditional flavors and modern culinary techniques coalesce to create a pho that's not just a meal, but an experience. It's no wonder it has become my new favorite pho restaurant. If you're a pho aficionado or just looking for a comforting bowl of goodness, Pho Hong Long is the...
ย ย ย Read moreWe have been coming to this restaurant for many years. Can't get enough of their pho.๐
We originally started going to their restaurant, Pho Kimmey, until they moved to this location and changed the name
This location is much nicer. The pho hasn't changed and it is still delicious. Another nice thing about this newer location is that there is plenty of parking.
We been to many different pho places throughout California, Bay Area, Central Valley, and So Cal, and this one tastes the best. My daughter is an extremely picky eater and Pho Kim Quy is the gold standard for pho. This is the only restaurant that meets her pho standards. The meat is fresh and tasty. She is just a teenager but, unfortunately, she has a very sophisticated palate. She knows good food.
I have had so many take out orders this past year and the orders were accurate and packed very well. They are friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. Kathy who runs/owns the restaurant is very kind and treats me like a valued customer. She is very appreciative of my patronage.
The service has greatly improved over the years so give it another try if you haven't been there in a while and you want the best pho in California. You won't be...

I really did enjoy this place the first time I went a few years ago but I feel like it has gone downhill. At first glance its a small joint hidden off the way from the main street. The parking is pretty bad and congested. Clean please.
It's hard to judge a vietnamese joint's cleanliness because of lot of them are disgusting, but this place is pretty bad this last time I went. Maybe it was the end of the night or maybe they just had a busy day, but there was crap everywhere. Food on the ground, napkins scattered all over, disorganized chairs. Don't get me started with the bathroom where you have to go out back to use.
Pho-reals
The pho itself is prety good. Although it wasn't hot enough for my liking. They actually ran out of pho and we were the second to last table to get some for the day. I guess that's a good sign right? People are buying. All in all, good pho...but everything else needs to improve.
Anyone have suggestions for a good pho...
