Pho Lovers 3 — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Ok so we sat ourselves (self seating) and we waited until some nice lady came to ask If we'd been helped. We ordered and my order was wrong. We had asked prior if it came with vegetables already in it, besides the broth and meat. We were told it didn't. We ordered one plain just in case. When both came out they both had onions/ chives on it. I figured they'll just get me a new one? 🤷‍♀️ nope 🙅‍♀️ they picked out the onions and stuff. Was finding them while I was eating it. Don't get me wrong it tasted good but honestly defeated the purpose of asking before hand if it came with any or not. I also wouldn't have looked like I didn't enjoy it, because it was really good. Also ordered a coffee, we figured WE ordered it wrong because it was all black. So we asked for creamer, we were informed they didn't have any but had MILK. So we asked if we could have some on the side. I swear we were getting punked because they took it, and it came back looking the literal dam same lol. Also guy came over and said "FREE SIDE DISH" It was a dam side of onions. I swear we WERE GETTING PUNKED. We couldn't help but laugh wondering if this dude was for real. GOOD food but boy was this another level of customer service for us lol some might ask, did we tip? Of course the food was still good, I say there was a language barrier...

Manager (or who seemed like he was) needs to have a better attitude and pay attention when people enter his restaurant if he's the only one seating people, I stood at the counter waiting to be seated while he just kept talking to some worker in the kitchen doorway and laughing.

I ordered a simple thing of beef bone and side or rice noodles and he looked at me like "is that all you're getting" and kept rolling his eyes when I asked him a question and not to put onion on top of it. This is usually what I get at Pho Lovers 2 location which is a great location. Anyway, it came out, had no meat it it, which it usually does and was also cold. I only stopped here because I was in Huntington heading back towards Stanton. I should have just went to their 2nd location.

Will not be...

Everything was good but I get the feeling this is locals only. I was the only one that wasn't Viet here and I got a lot of looks. At the end, when I walked up to pay, I was waiting in line and another customer cut right in front of me. The guys did nothing...at all.

Everything else was good though. Broth was clean and I'm pretty sure it was beef broth. Tasty. Could've had more beef balls but there was steak in it so I guess that balanced it out. Some of the steak was clumped together. Noodles were too. Not a huge deal but clearly it was just thrown (literally) in the bowl.

Good amount of parking and fast service. Everything was pretty good except if I return, I would probably need to bring a Viet friend or at least Asian. I'm...
