This is a mom and pop shop that I wanted to give five stars. They were kind enough to let me use the restroom and I wish I hadn't. Sometimes is better not to know.
The food here is tasty. It's like if you're traveling abroad and get lucky enough to be invited to someone's home and their mom cooks for you.
I ordered the chicken and shrimp pho and shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls were large and looked like a three half shrimps, a large lettuce leaf and rice noodles. Care was not taken and one shrimp on each roll had shrimp poop on it. I opened the roll and used my fingernail to remove the dirty bits. And despite the lack luster presentation there were other tasty greens inside. The teriyaki sauce had a bit of spice to it that was nice.
The pho was pho. This one slightly sweet. My one suggestion here would be to offer a smaller portion for lunch. The serving was enough for 2.5 people and I think this place could do a lot more business at lunch by serving a portion 1/3 the size I got today, one spring roll on tea for around $10.00 to 12.00.
I considered taking the excess home but it would have to sit in my hot car for a few hours. However, if you're looking for a deal, get a pho here for takeout and share between 2 or 3...
Read moreEaten here a few times and I'm glad there's authentic pho within a mile from my workplace in Orange. I've gotten the House Special (look up the menu for full ingredients) and the Steak and Fatty Flank pho bowls before and they didn't disappoint. The House Special is the best deal IMHO. Broth is more than solid by Orange City standards.
I would describe this as a hole in the wall mom and pop shop, family-owned, with who appears to be a grandma, mama, and toddler in tow. I wouldn't eat here if you want a classy ambience. This is strictly about the food! I will say that the free egg roll that comes with the lunch order is not great, but also highly unnecessary. Again, the broth shines, and I appreciate the cracked pepper in every bowl, which is not normal in pho places.
Been going to Soup and Noodle as my go-to for pho during my work lunch, though that's more of a fusion place then Viet place. Happy to add another pho spot to my...
Read moreJust found a hidden gem in Orange county that serves amazing Pho. I'm not kidding about how big the bowl are, but it makes you feel like it belongs in a cartoon. It is ridiculous how big they are You feel like you belong in the Flintstones but it's so delicious. Myself and a co-worker work around the area and found this place and I have to say I highly recommend it for some great Pho and also had the pork chop with rice. It was delicious! The spring rolls were great as well. I would definitely go back and try other combinations. Very...
