The service here is always fantastic and parking is not a nightmare. Felicia and the rest of the staff are welcoming and efficient. We enjoyed the phở and adored our conversation with Felicia.

This place is 1 minute away from my job, service is so quick. Soup was so amazing, I ate it so slow to taste the satisfying flavor! Best phở place yet!

I have a near addiction to ramen and phở, and my palette is a bit picky. The large bowls of delicious delight surpasses all expectation and is simply the best phở I have ever eaten. It is as if they add the ingredient of care, consideration, and love into each heavenly scooped bowl. The toppings fresh, prices reasonable, and a place I will return to with joy and anticipation.

I usually order the filet mignon phở and add veggies for $ 2. The broth is very good and the meat is good quality. The owners and servers are very friendly. Definitely recommended.

THE BEST PHO IN OC! I absolutely love the beef combination phở! The beef broth is unreal and so delicious! I also love the shrimp spring roll. You really can’t go wrong with anything here :)

Not sure what’s happened here, today’s experience didn’t match my previous ones. Service was pretty quick and efficient, but… We were seated next to the wide-​open front door, with a pretty stiff breeze blowing through it. The waiter just sort of laughed it off when my wife mentioned this to him. Combination phở was good, but I like the variety of other places that provide tripe and tendon, two things missing from my bowl. At least the veggies were fresh and plentiful. I’ve come to expect refills on iced tea at other phở joints, but once my glass was empty it was picked up, never to reappear.

My favorite phở place by far! It really shows how great customer service can make a big difference to your business. Always treated like family when I come here. It’s so refreshing to have such kind people welcome you to their restaurant! Food is great and pricing is fair. Egg rolls, chicken phở and Thai tea are bombbbbb

Every time I come here I get the Phở ga– Vietnamese chicken noodle soup. It’s a delicate, light, flavorful soup that is just so good!
This place is small, secluded, and quiet. Perfect date night spot to sit and talk.
The staff is respectful and very prompt with taking your order and bringing your food and check.

I ordered the Special Combination without meatballs and an order of the pork spring rolls.
The broth wasn’t too bad, but overall, it was just okay. What stood out was their service. It was on point. The spring rolls were pretty good as well.
It’s right off the 55, so it may be easy to miss. Parking is very spacious though, so don’t have to worry about that.
Although I most likely won’t be back, it was a great visit and they’ve impressed me quite a bit.

Never been here before so we did the safe thing and ordered what others had recommended.
Filet mignon for me. Chicken for her. And the spring rolls.
It was late afternoon during the week so we had the place to ourselves. Service was expectedly quick. The food was hot and super fresh.
Definitely coming back.

I really love the food from here. I have never actually eaten at the location though! I have been taking takeout once a week for at least a few months. Really great food for a fair price.
Favorites are: Birds Nest, Pork Summer Rolls, Pork Bahn Mi, Wagyu Phở and oh almost forgot but not least favorite would be both of the wing options (YUM).
I just convinced myself to order takeout for tonight!

Amazing Phở! Best in OC. Great service too. My husband and I found this place a couple of months ago and we go once a week. We love to get the fresh springs rolls and chicken phở. Highly recommend this place.
This past February Felicia had accidentally overcharged our credit card by 8 dollars. Over the past couple of months we had been getting our orders delivered and not dining in. Needless to say we recently dined in and she remembered us and told us about the overcharge. We had no idea and thanked her for letting us know! We couldn’t believe she remembered the over charge about two months ago and she was happy to credit us back!

Recently ate here with my daughter. I was really craving chicken phở so I went off of reviews from Unilocal and I LOVE this place! I will definitely be coming back when I’m in the area.

Stopped in for a bite to eat on our way to whale watching. No wait, which was great and service is amazing. The staff was very attentive, yet we didn’t feel rushed. The food was great, had the mango salad. Great taste… very light and refreshing. The spring rolls were delicious also. My girlfriend had the phở, said it was good but was a bit pricey. Overall a good experience only drawback is a little pricey, but it’s Newport.

Stopped by here finally today after driving past it every time we go to the beach. I’m sorry we waited so long because this place is AWESOME.
The building and tables are clean and the staff is friendly. The staff greeted us and got our water almost as soon as we walked in.
I tried the pork Bahn Mi and the Rare Beef Phở. It was the first time I ever had a Bahn Mi sandwich, and it was so so yummy. I don’t know if it read on the menu but there’s a whole lengthwise slice of jalapeño on there, so watch out!
The staff was happy to give us extra bowls so we could split the HUGE large bowls between us, and the owner stopped by our table throughout the meal and gave us extra noodles!
Overall, an awesome place to stop for a delicious meal. The food atmosphere and staff are great.

It’s super close to my work so I go about once a month. It really is fast & friendly service. I called to make a take out order and she told me it would be ready in 10 mins. By the time I drove there it was ready — every time. I’ve ordered the Shaken Beef rice plate and phở before. Good portion for both beef, rice and came with a side of veggies/​salad. Whatever that sauce is they gave me was to die for! The lemon pepper sauce made the salad and beef taste so much more unique! Tarty but not overpowering sour.
The phở I would have to say I am not a huge fan of. It could be the fact that I took it to-​go but by the time I started eating it the broth was not hot enough to cook the rare beef. Perhaps I should try it there.
Parking is a big hidden but there is a private lot. Look for the umbrella and that’s the entrance to the place! I would come back again and order the Shaken Beef again or try another rice dish!

We had a great dinner here! Good food, decent service, and pleasant décor.
My husband and I shared the pork spring rolls, which were good. I liked my vermicelli with pork and egg roll, and my husband found his chicken phở very good.
The service was fast and friendly, for the most part. Our food came out very quickly. The waitress unfortunately forgot to bring our check and we had to ask twice, but they were very apologetic about the delay, which we appreciated.
The setting is pleasant and the décor lovely.
Overall, a nice place for a tasty, inexpensive, casual meal!

Fast service, I mean really fast! I went to wash my hands and my order was there, fresh and warm!
It was a surprisingly delicious experience. The Phở was great, just like in Vietnam. The only hint of American is the fortune cookie!
This truly is a hidden gem.

This is a very good place for some soup! I ordered take out vegetarian soup and it was amazing !
They packaged up the soup very nicely. They separated the fresh veggies from the tofu and broth. They also gave us fresh noodles and toppings.
I will definitely be returning !

I get my hair done at the salon in the same center. I’ve always just gone to subway, but today my hairdresser suggested I try this place. You can’t go wrong with phở (it was so good), but the spring rolls were also pleasantly amazing (not to mention, they were huge!!!)! Will be coming back to this place!

I have to say that this place is a little gem. The food is delicious and the customer service was above average. I wish I would have written this when it was still fresh in my head because I do remember being super juiced about this place.
I had the phō ga (chicken) and the broth was very tasty. My son loved it too. We also ordered the pork banh mi and that was also very tasty. I would ordered both of those again.
The owner was super sweet and came over to engage my son a few times.
The little treat they give you at the end (the coconut-​filled pirouette cookie) was so yummy that I’ve been craving that for a while!
I will come back… Definitely!
