Pho Fula — Restaurant in La Habra

I used to love coming here when I lived in La Habra. They had the best Vietnamese style Chow Fun (which is an original Cantonese style dish) anywhere. I used to get it all the time and customers would always ask me what it was I was enjoying. So many times the owner witnessed this and would comp me milk teas, they were really happy I encouraged others to get the hit dish.

This last time I came with my family my daughter ordered it and the flavor was lacking flavor (used to have garlic and I'm sure this is an easy fix however wasn't the case for our visit this time), their Pho used to have a lot more flavor however it didn't. We ordered 2 milk teas and didn't receive it.

I've worked retail nearly all my working history and completely understand the post Covid Lockdown change within our food industries and restaurants. I noticed that they appeared to be understaffed and were quite busy.

My meal was still good and I ordered their grilled pork with shrimp wrapped bean cured and steamed egg quiche plate that comes with steamed rice.

I'd love to give a better review and I'm sure I've done so in my last foodie reviews here.

Here's something to think about. Before entering Pho Fula, we noticed that the Twin Dragon Chinese restaurant had a line coming out of the doors and backing up to Pho Fula(I've eaten there before a couple times). When we departed Pho Fula, the line was still active.

That's for another review, this one is...

This place used to be affordable! Started going here when we moved to La Habra back in 2010, price was $7 large bowl Flank or Shrimp Pho, they also give you extra soup if needed for free! Also the employees was 10 times better than what they have now (can't stand the rude lady that works there now, very unprofessional) miss those young ladies including the daughter of the owner, way better customer service then. They started increasing the price around 2015 to around $10 or $12 for a large bowl and started eliminating the free extra soup. Now, like everyone else using the pandemic till today as an excuse to milk every penny from everyone, they've sky rocketed their price to $15 plus for a large bowl which put them the same as to those with better service and better quality Pho like SUP in Buena Park which we now go to which charges $16.50 but, with unlimited noodles and bigger servings! I think everyone is so lost in pricing stuff nowaday, a good example is the gas prices, we go to Vegas a lot and they used to have cheaper gas than California, even them are lost because their Costco gas is more expensive than California Costco, everything is stupid. So do your research when spending nowadays. Lots of options still, you just...

Do not recommend. Service is scary fast, to the point where you are certain none of the food is being made fresh. If you're in a rush, this place works great. Unfortunately, they use low grade ingredients, and the taste is bad. We got the pho and the egg rolls. The pho used beef that wasn't fresh, and the broth tasted very off. It seems they use tap water in their broth, and their tap water has a distinct taste that takes away from the flavor heavily.

The egg roll dipping sauce is unfortunately diluted down with water. Literally half of it was water, and none of it would actually stick to our rolls. The viscosity was a joke.

They do not respect the customer, and try their hardest to fool their customer and maximize their profit at your...
