Pho Ky Dong — Restaurant in Tustin

I was craving for Pho today driving pass the area and I found this pho place on yelp with some good reviews so i decided to come and try it out.

This place is located inside a strip mall near the end of the street el camino way. It is in the same plaza as cream pan. Plenty of parking in this strip mall. There is a water fountain right in front of it. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly male server and he was attentive. He greeted me and sat me down, took my order and food came out pretty fast. The inside of this place isn’t that big. The menu only has Vietnamese and English but no Chinese so it might be inconvenient for people thats not that good in English and Vietnamese.

Food wise, I ordered a Pho noodle soup. You can pick 3 items from a Medium size bowl and 4-5 items for a large size bowl. The portion came out smaller than I expected but not a big deal. i also ordered an egg flower crab meat soup which it is pretty decent.

A decent pho restaurant to go a grab a quick lunch or dinner. Nothing negative I can say about this place but also nothing amazed me to give it a 5 so therefore I would give this place a 3.5 rating ( round up to be 4...

I’m so happy to have an authentic Viet restaurant in the Tustin/Irvine area that have options other than just Phở, favorites like Bún Bò Huế (BBH), Cơm Tấm. If you know your local Việt dishes, these are our staples too. When I crave them, I won’t have to drive 30 minutes to Bolsa anymore. For dessert, try their Flan custards! Perfection.

It’s also located in a quaint plaza in the Old Town Tustin area, near the Japanese Cream Pan Bakery, which is so convenient for us. The area is also charming and enjoyable to walk around after, we go to Arvida bookstore and little coffee shops...

I’m so glad this place is here! Very authentic Vietnamese restaurant, everything we ordered was so good. We got the lemongrass beef vermicelli, chow fun, and the broken rice combo. This is actually my second time coming here within two weeks and will probably be my new go-to for Vietnamese in the area. The pho and vermicelli combo (not pictured) are also very flavorful! Part of me wants to gate-keep this, but I also want them to do well so...
