Pho Thanh — Restaurant in Garden Grove

I've been here one too many times for the past 5 years; so I owe them a review! It's not my first choice for a bowl of pho but it's so conveniently located next to my work that I just can't say no because I only have half an hour to eat during lunch! It's a plus for cleanliness & I have to give them credit for great customer service! They know exactly what I want to eat as I walk in! My food literally comes out minutes after seating! It's rare to find this kind of service around here; that's why I keep coming back! Even though I walk in hungry & walk out extra thirsty! That's a hint for msg!

The only thing that annoys me from time to time is that I always have to carry extra cash here just in case I want to splurge & have enough cash leftover for tips because they don't take credit cards! I'm not allowed to keep my purse at work so bringing cash is a problem if my pants doesn't have pockets.

Oxtail Pho is great! If you're indecisive; you can't go wrong with Oxtail that falls off the bone! You get an ample amount of rice noodles & fresh veggies with a side bowl of 2 large tasty oxtails.

I often order Pho Chin on a rainy day or anytime that we all feel under the weather at work! This bowl of Pho only comes with onions, cilantro & fully cooked flanks to make it easier on the chef to prepare our food rather quickly as the whole pharmacy crew of 9 people orders the same thing during our half hour lunch. My Pharmacy girls don't like to get out of the box to try anything strange so this bowl is perfectly tasty with a generous portion of melt in your mouth tender beef flanks.

On hot summer days we would all order Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio which is a bowl cold vermicelli noodles sitting on top of a salad mixed with fresh lettuce, cucumber & bean sprouts. Layered with egg rolls, grilled pork, sautéed green onions, pickled radish & carrots. It's usually enough flavors for me to eat it just like that; But it comes with a side of fish sauce for those who wants to kick...

New, basic but nice, clean pho shop on corner of Garden Grove Blvd and Euclid, next to Da Lat supermarket, same owner as Pho Thanh on Bolsa which has been in business more than 25 years and is open 24/7 for late night snacks. Parking was easy.

Quite a few pho shop now serve $8 or 50% off beef pho, like Vinh Ky, Vy ect, but Pho Thanh serves a very good, tasty bowl of pho, way above average in taste, quality and value. Beef broth is deep with beef aroma, without excessive spices, sugar or MSG, noodle is cooked just right, with lots of rare beef, brisket, shank, chunks of tendon and a generous serving of herbs. You can specify your preferred cuts of meat for your pho.

The broth is tasty and lean. I usually ask for a cup of rendered fat with scallion just for my cholesterol taste. I am a shameless big eater but this $8 pho bowl is hearty and about right for lunch. If I order the $10 large bowl, I would not be able to finish all. Glass of water is free, hot tea $1.

They also serve a good menu of traditional Viet rice and noodle dishes. As usual, service is quick and polite. Cash only. This place is recommended for quick, tasty hot...

Great place for a great bowl of pho, especially o bc a cold morning or when you’re not feeling well. Plenty of parking since it is in a shopping complex and there’s also street parking behind the place with direct hallway entrance . Great service by the staff there, all way helpful and cheerful with the customers. The broth is great, depth in favor and simply delish. There is a sale right now for $7.99 for regular size and $9.99 for large size for selected type of pho. The place is simple, clean, and simple well taken care of. They do have other dishes but I only come here for pho. If you get the special pho to go, they will add $1 to it. The only down side to this is that CASH payment only, so make sure you...
