This place has been blowing up on social media and I had to come check it out, because if there's one thing about me, I love gimmicky fusion stuff. PARKING: Located in 4th street market. There's street parking as well as parking structures in the area, some of which offer free/discounted parking WHAT I ORDERED: Pho Brisket Sandwich THE SANDWICH: Honestly, I was simultaneously impressed and disappointed. For the most part, it's kind of what you would expect this sandwich to be. The meat was flavorful but a bit dry, and it definitely needed the broth. The broth was amazing, though - super flavorful and well-spiced. The cilantro and onions were also a nice touch. The culprit here though was the rye bread, which got soggy quick, even before dipping into the broth! I wish they used a harder bread, something like a baguette that can hold up to a broth better. I noticed their BBH sandwich uses a different bread so I wonder if that one's better. In terms of portion size, this was a pretty hefty sandwich and I think it could easily be split between two people. SERVICE: Pretty friendly and quick. VIBES: Good options for seating in 4th street market, especially the outdoor seating which is nice. Tons of food options too for if you're bringing a group and people are indecisive. BOTTOM LINE: Wasn't blown away by the sandwich, but I definitely do want to come back to try the actual pho and perhaps the Bun Bo Hue sandwich!
I'm so sad that I see this place is permanently closed? This pho sandwich was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! All the best flavors of pho packed into a sandwich! I don't know where I can get something like this in OC now
Beyond confused on writing my review because so many people had such great things to say about it. For $17+ on a sandwich, I had really high expectations and they were definitely not met whatsoever. It took quite a while for my sandwich to come out and when I saw it, I was a little excited because it was packed with meat - however when I finally sat down and got to eating it, it was so dry and flavorless. The bread itself was so stiff and dry, the meats were dry - dipping it didn't really help except make it messier for me. I also added seasoned fries to my order and man, were they definitely seasoned... with salt. Not worth the time & price.
Located in the 4th Street Market food hall in Santa Ana, And Broth is probably one of the more exciting concepts currently there. Their menu primarily features a variety of pho, but you should definitely go there to check out their two specialty sandwiches. At first, I thought the sandwiches might be gimmicky. They're similar to a French dip: you get a sandwich paired with a cup of broth for dipping (which I assume is why the place is called "And Broth" in the first place). I tried both the Pho Brisket on Rye and The BBH (Spicy Beef Sandwich). The brisket sandwich was tender and flavorful, but the BBH stole the show with its bold, spicy kick. Both sandwiches are pretty good on their own, but dipping them in the broth takes them to the next level. (Seriously, why wouldn't you dip? The broth is phenomenal!) The flavors are on point, and the portions are generous, with plenty of meat in each sandwich. I haven't tried their pho yet, but if the broth is indicative of the flavors of their pho, I'm sure I would enjoy it as well. If you're looking for a unique twist on classic pho flavors, And Broth is a must-visit!
DEE-LICIOUS! The Pho Beef Brisket Sandwich was scrumptious! I crave that sandwich often, and has shared how delicious it was with many people. It has the perfect balance of meat to veggies/herbs ratio (I do like mine for on the veggie side), flavor is packed with that pho broth taste, tender and juicy meat, and the perfect vehicle to hold it all together... the Rye Bread. I am not a fan of Rye Bread, but I loved this one! It comes with a side of bee pho broth to dip the sandwich in, which was very tasty. You have to also get the pickled jalapenos, they are not spicy but taste super good with the sandwich. I can't wait to come back here again. Thank you And Broth for providing a delicious Pho Beef Brisket Sandwich! :)
Such a unique concept! Surprisingly we preferred the sandwich's over the actual pho . Very yummy! Will be back again for some pho sandwiches.
Absolutely amazing! Came here on a friend's high recommendation and I was not disappointed whatsoever. It's a small shop in a larger food hall, but don't let the size fool you. The flavors are huge! The brisket was extremely juicy and it matched so will with the pickled veggies and thinly sliced green onions. I would prefer more cilantros, but thats because I love the fragrance that cilantro has. The sandwich being on rye bread was such a great touch. If it was any other bread, I don't believe it would be able to withstand the juices, not to mention the broth you're encouraged to dip the sandwich in. You are free to drink the broth separately, but I recommend dipping the sando in the broth. The richness of the broth brings so much flavor especially when the broad soaks it all up. My only knock would be that the pickled radish and carrots aren't flavored as strongly as I prefer but it did its job: cleanse my palette. If there are not that many people before you, expect a short 10-12min wait before your belly is full and satisfied!
I got the brisket sandwich and it was as advertised: delicious! It really tastes like a brisket sandwich had a baby with pho. I'd like to go back and try the pho, but it would be hard not to get the sandwich.
My husband and I had a date night and went to DTSA for dinner. I had seen And Broth all over my IG feed and was intrigued by their sandwiches. By the way, they also serve pho here with 24-hr broth. But they are infamous for their pho sandwich and their new BBH (Bun Bo Hue) sandwiches. If you know me, you know that I love pho but I also love the lesser known Vietnamese noodle soup dish known as BBH. No one makes as good a BBH as my mother but some places try. The BBH sandwich is a fusion food item and it's quite novel. It's similar to a French dip where it is a sandwich stuffed with protein (brisket and pork loaf), herbs, and pickled onions, served with a side of BBH broth. I was intrigued. After ordering, we were given a buzzer and waited at a nearby table. Once the order was ready, I went to pick it up at the window. The sandwich was stuffed and really photogenic. I took a bite and found that the brisket was really tender and that the herbs give the sandwich that essence of BBH. I liked that they used French bread and not rye for this too. Since I'm not personally a fan of eating chả lụa or pork loaf warm, I pulled those slices out and just ate the brisket sandwich. It was better that way. My husband took a few tentative bites but the rest was all mine. He thought it was different and liked that the brisket was tender. It was glorious and hit the spot. Thanks And Broth for introducing an innovative sandwich fusing Vietnamese and American flavors.
Finally tried the viral Pho Brisket Sandwich tucked inside the Santa Ana food court. Reminded me of a pastrami sandwich with its thick layer of briskets, onions, and basil leaves sandwiched between rye bread. It does also come with a side of broth which I wasn't so sure if I was suppose to dip the sandwich in or simply sip on the side. The sandwich was good but I still prefer the briskets in my pho. Not quite sure what I was expecting but it was quite interesting. Of note, the rye bread does get a bit soggy and the briskets do fall out some and can get messy. Overall it wasn't bad. Give it a try if you're in the area
Overall: 4.75 for unique food that was incredibly delicious and well flavored. The Service: Service was fast and efficient. We came around 1pm on a Sunday and there was no line. We waited about 10 minutes for our food. The Food: Pho Brisket Sandwich - This tasted divine! They captured all the pho flavor in the beef brisket and it was accompanied with all the herbs that go with pho, giving it a wonderful flavor. I also loved that it came with pickled onions which balanced out the fattiness of the brisket. One comment is that the bread does get soggy so do finish it quickly! It also comes with a side of the pho broth which you can dip in but I found that a bit messy since the sandwich is stuffed with the beef brisket so I just took sips of it on the side. The BBH Sandwich - As someone who loves bun bo hue, this was a perfect version of it in a sandwich. Similar to the pho brisket sandwich, this was stuffed to the brim with the tender and delicious beef and it had the herbs that go along with the Bun Bo Hue as well. It also had some pickled onions which helped cut through the fattiness. The bun bo hue broth that came with this was so flavorful and spicy, just the way I like it! The Santa Ana Pho - I am very particular with my pho so I really enjoyed this pho! It was served with so much different types of meat from tendon to ribs. I honestly wish there was tripe in the pho. The broth was flavorful and you can tell that it was cooked for a very long time. Price: The price is a bit pricier than most places, but I think the quality and uniqueness really shines. A bowl of pho is about $24 which is very pricey but the amount of pho with the noodles and beef can feed two people. The sandwiches are about $16-18 which is pricey for a sandwich but the taste and uniqueness was worth it. The Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in 4th Street Market which had plenty of seating when we went (both inside and outside). Parking: There is a parking structure behind the 4th Street Market that has free parking on weekdays and sometimes weekends I believe (it was hard to understand the sign....since it said only Saturday/Sunday evenings but we got free parking on a Sunday afternoon. There is also street parking but this is located in Downtown Santa Ana so it can be hard to find.
Wow! Flavor bomb is what I think of at And Broth. I ordered the Chili Verde Pho ($17.99) and Pho Brisket Sandwich ($15.99). Both were so flavorful and delicious! The Chili Verde Pho comes with this basil garlic chili oil that amps up the flavor. Although there was plenty of meat and enough to fill you up, I think that $18 for pho is expensive. However, I don't regret trying it. I just don't think I will come often because of the price and value. But do I recommend it? Yes! The Pho Brisket Sandwich surprised me. I was impressed that it had all of the flavors of pho even without the soup on the side! This sandwich is huge! It has so much meat and it is so flavorful! I find that the price for this sandwich was relatively reasonable considering how much meat you get. The one downside to this sandwich was the soggy bread. The top wasn't soggy, but the bottom was. However, I used an air fryer at home to warm it up and it was crispy again. I highly recommend checking this place out! The wait is long, but worth trying at least once!
Steep price for pho at almost $20 after taxes. Not much of service as you help yourself with pretty much everything. Accidentally tipped them 10 cents but couldn't make the connection. The broth is very flavorful and rich. However there just wasn't enough meat for my liking. And i don't eat a lot of meat.. Thai basil was pretty old and wilted. The food is not bad. I think it has a potential to be great. However, there are better options out there. I wouldn't be returning and can't be recommending this place to any one.
I just stopped here for a quick bite before the airport and I HIGHLY recommend the PHO BRISKET ON RYE sandwich. This was the best sandwich I've ever had!! It comes with a little bowl of broth for dipping or sipping and some pickled carrots and radish. The two men working were very sweet and the food came out quickly. It is located in the food hall which has some other options as well as a bar. It's a fun atmosphere with plenty of options. I will definitely be back! read more
1. I definitely enjoy this concept of pho being reconstructed as a sandwich! I love that the bread really held the content well, and the fries really paired well with the sandwich! 2. The spot is part of a food hall with a casual ambiance! The store is small, but the food hall is huge! 3. There are areas of indoor and outdoor tables! The outdoor area also has shade! 4. The staff were friendly, and they gave me a buzzer for my order! The order was done within 10 mins! 5. A parking structure, meter parking, and neighborhood parking are available! For the weekends and nights, you get two hours of free parking in the structures! Note: This spot does not have their own restrooms, but there are customers restrooms nearby in the food hall!

I had really high hopes for this place, especially since I kept seeing it all over social media but I'm here to say that I should've tried a different vendor. Which makes me even more confused on how majority of the reviews are so high - maybe I just had a bad batch then? We came here on saturday for dinner with our friends and this place was open & didn't have a line so I opted to finally try it out. After a quick look at the menu, I decided to go with the Texan Pho (because I usually get brisket pho everywhere I go) and it was a whopping $17.49 But about 10 minutes later, we go get our food and I was just so dissapointed in the whole presentation - it only went downhill once I tried the broth. The noodles were hard and clumped together, the beef was okay but SOMETHING tasted like wet mop. Not that I know what that truly tastes like but that's the best way I could describe it. I'll stick to my phoholics, thank you read more

Came here to try the pho brisket sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was a little tricky to handle because of how stacked it was and the rye bread got soft from absorbing all the juices. Things get really messy, but that's the full experience. I wouldn't wear anything I'd want to get dirty and I'd get a lot of napkins. The brisket slices were cooked really tender, and combined with the broth and the taste and texture from the onion and fresh herbs (which I believe was mostly basil leaves), it's a really complex and unique tasting sandwich. At 1/2 lb for $17, I thought the portion was pretty generous and worth the price. read more
YESSSS! Got the Pho Brisket Sandwich for takeout and my friend and I ended up eating it 2 hours later. Even so, it tasted amazing!!! Tender and juicy beef, accurate and strong pho flavor, and perfect ratio of ingredients. Tastes like a bowl of pho in sandwich form. read more

I finally found the opportunity to try the viral pho brisket sandwich that kept showing up on my IG feed. It's located in a foot court in downtown Santa Ana with several other vendors. I believe they are still in their soft opening phase. Overall, the sandwich was VERY tasty but fell a bit short of my expectations. The flavors were on point and it was so loaded with brisket that it was difficult to eat (good problem to have). It comes with some broth to dip the sandwich in but to be honest I was struggling to much just trying to eat the sandwich without it completely falling apart there was no way I would've been able to dip it. The main problem with the sandwich is that the bread is way too thin to support the weight of this sandwich. The first couple bites were great, but shortly after the bread was really soggy. We also tried the chile verde pho, which was not the move. It seemed like an intriguing fusion dish, but it just tasted like really really oily pho. It might be better to stick with the more traditional pho, which I've heard is pretty good here. It's a great concept but just wasn't quite what I was expecting. I love how creative this dish is though! read more

Hello Jessica,…
I've been seeing videos of the Pho Brisket Sandwich and decided to give it a try. The sandwich was huge and had so much meat. The flavors of the sandwich blended so well together and was simply amazing. The meat was perfectly juicy and tender. The rye bread was crunchy but it did get soggy fairly quickly, so the sandwich was falling apart, making it difficult to eat. They also gave broth (which came out hot) to dip the sandwich in as well as some pickled veggies on the side. It was soo filling. Located inside a food court with plenty of seating right in front of the store and outside in the back. Service was quick and professional. Would come back to get the sandwich again or to try the BBH sandwich. read more
Wow. This was crazy. This is their pho sandwich which comes with a soup to dip the sandwich in. It is packed with sooo much meat and it's so freaking tender. This can definitely be shared between 2 people as it is very filling. Or you can eat it all yourself. I don't judge Overall Rating: 9/10 read more
And Broth is a super innovative spot known for their must try pho brisket dip sandwich! This spot is located inside of the 4th Street Market surrounded by other food spots. Parking can be found all around the area either via street parking or in allocated parking garages. Wifey and I came for lunch and knew we wanted to try both of their sandwiches they had on the menu. The bun bo hue dip sandwich is one of their newest creations and it was definitely a very unique bite. Their pho brisket dip sandwich was the star of the show and created a harmony of flavors when I bit into it! Both sandwiches were definitely delicious, but I would say the pho one is a must try. Overall, I love how this spot innovates while maintaining the authenticity of flavors and ingredients in the traditional dishes. They are definitely doing things right and deserve all the hype and more! The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back for some more food next time we're in the area! read more
Ok I will admit, pho is just not my thing! But &broth does know how to make a DELICIOUS broth and has changed my mind! their broth is a 24-hr bone broth, filled with soooo much flavor. I basically ended up stealing more bites from my fiance's plate than I expected LOL I didn't realize until after we ordered that this place also is the spot with that juicy pho sandwich that I've been seeing on IG recently - will have to go back to try this! The Santa Ana pho was filled with all kinds of meat, my favorite being that juicy rib bone! read more
Uhhh is this the best thing I've had since 2024 started?? Potentially, yes lol Bringing me closer to enlightenment with each bite Not going to elaborate cuz I'm at a loss for words Sandwich is great with the broth, but it's easier to use gloves and spoon the broth onto the sandwich rather than dunk it What takes this over the top is both the chili crisp + green chili oil - make sure to ask for them! They are spicy ! Will need to order 1/2lb of each. Holy, these are fav sauces right now Lots of meat and filled with plenty of veggies. Love the fat on the brisket. $16.99 for two satiated happyass bellies read more
This review was from almost 2 weeks ago. Came here about an hour before closing. I could not decide at first if I should order the Pho Brisket on Rye again or try their 24-hour bone marrow broth. It was a cold evening so I ended up with one of their specialty pho. I love bone marrow so I ordered the Specialty House Pho with beef back ribs, prime rib eye and oven-fired bone marrow. It was actually past 7 pm when we got there and there were a few people ahead of us. I am updating my review because I want to appreciate and give huge kudos to the staff. Not sure if the one who called me was Chef Thomas. He actually took the time to notify me that they only have 1 bone marrow left but there's not a lot in it. So he wants to make sure I am ok with getting more short ribs and sliced ribeye in lieu of the small marrow. Mind you, other Asian restaurants would not have bothered to let customers know. (This is based on my own previous experience). Love the superior service here and the small but excellent options on the menu. The broth was sooo delicious! Next time I have to ask for extra broth. Cannot wait to try the Shaken Beef when that becomes available. read more
came here from the TikTok hype, which I can say lives up to it, for the most part. sandwich was really good. I was hesitating between ordering some pho, but I realized the sandwich came with a little broth cup. the broth it cames with was medicore, very salty and not super flavorful. If that is how the broth in the pho tastes like, you are way better off going to a place like phoholic that has way better broth. food is a bit overpriced, above average of other restraunts in this food court., especially for a sandwich... but for a one time experience I would say its okay, probably not something I need to come back for however. service was ok, nothing crazy over the top. overall good experience with some tasty food! read more
I would give 10 stars if I could. This place is so good that I came here 3 times in a week. So far I've had the build your own pho, tai lan, and pho sandwich. Each time I was sent to heaven. The pho here is on the pricier side, but trust me it's worth the price. The broth isn't your typical clear pho broth. It's darker, slightly oily (from the bone marrow), and EXTREMELY flavorful. It's so addicting that I guzzled down the entire bowl to the last drop. But that's not all, for the price you pay, you get way more meat than the average pho shop, and every cut of meat is perfectly tender. The pho sandwich changed my life and made me a better person. It comes with pickled and a small bowl of soup on the side to dip the sandwich in. But honestly the sandwich itself is already so flavorful without the dip. You get a thick layer of sliced meat, topped with pickled onions and Vietnamese mayo. It's probably the best sandwich I've ever had. 3 Michelin stars in my book read more

So sad to be leaving this review. My wife and I tried the pho sandwich back in August 2024 and man was it the best sandwich we ever had! We don't live nearby but constantly talked about coming back here. Unfortunately the pho sandwich we got this time was nothing like the first one we had. It was so dry and lacked seasoning. The onions were overwhelming and the sauce could not save this sandwich. Hope they revert to their original recipe. read more

TLDR: It's one of the few times that I really enjoyed the elements of pho since they felt unique yet familiar. This shop's marketing on Instagram talked big game, but I can confidently say that they backed it up. Brisket on rye: An amazing sandwich that tries to emulate the feeling of a New York Delicatessen. Visually, it feels like a lot was placed on the sandwich to help match the thickness of NY delis, but no ingredient was wasted. Every layer was there to help create this balance that I enjoyed. I knew that the layering and balancing was essential because my sandwich couldn't maintain its integrity very late into the meal and I had to eat the elements individually or in pairs. The symphony was gone and I was left with good but not great when combined. The brisket is what's amazing to me because a lot of brisket in pho places are thinly sliced. This brisket had visual echos of Texas BBQ or Chinese beef stews. You could see the shape of what the cut of meat was before it was sliced and the additional body the meat provided was a welcome surprise. Soup: It comes with the sandwich and it's their pho broth. The soup is different in a good way. A lot of pho places claim that their broth had been a 24+ process but all of them taste within shades of each other. This broth is a few shades different from all the other broths I've had and it's a step up from the rest. I don't know if it's the new restaurant taste or the lemongrass, but I am excited to see how their full bowl of pho tastes like. PS: A guy complimented the store because he enjoyed their food before leaving the foodcourt. I thought this was your casual drunk dude who wanted to do something different. My man was not lying. I eventually saw (tasted) what the excitement was all about! Service: It was in a food court, so the service was straightforward and professional Ambiance: It's a food court store. The kitchen looks great but that's all I could see from their hole. read more
One of my resolutions for 2025 was to be more a little more sincere with myself and others, and it has come time for And Broth's unfortunate judgment. I have had And Broth bookmarked for quite a while now after first seeing it on social media, so I jumped at the chance to try a new place with a few friends on a Sunday afternoon, tucked away in the back of the 4th Street Market food hall. $20+ and a 20-25 minute wait for a single sandwich already had me questioning what I had roped myself into, and when the food finally was ready to be picked up my suspicions were confirmed. I was presented with chalk-dry cuts of cold, overcooked beef mashed between two pieces of soggy rye, accompanied by a plastic dish of scalding pho broth that lacked in flavor what it had in temperature. I've never been so confused by a bread choice - yes, nominally an earthier bread like rye might seem like it pairs well with a richly herbal broth like that of pho, but if I wanted something sour I would go someplace else and order canh chua. The provided scallion oil, pickled onions, and đồ chua (pickled carrots and daikon) fell flat at either making the dish taste better or more authentic. The sandwich itself was almost impossible to dip and eat as intended because its contents kept falling out, but at that point I was so hungry I didn't care and ended up scooping chunks of meat out of the broth with my fingers. Another one of my friends ordered the bún bò huế option, which had a more flavorful broth but with a similarly dry and tasteless protein option. We had to sit in silence a little afterward because of the mutual dissatisfaction. Stars are for the concept, ingredients (excluding the choice of rye), and easily accessible seating in a covered turf area. read more
My husband and I tried & Broth for the first time earlier today, Saturday 8/10/2024. We came right before 3:30 PM and there was no wait since it was an off time. We ordered: Santa Ana Pho $23.99 ($26.21 with tax) price as of August 204 - Featuring a tantalizing selection of meaty favorites. From succulent back ribs and USDA Prime Filet Mignon to flavorful meatballs, tendons, prime brisket. We also ordered the following which was free of charge: Extra Noodles (only one extra per order) Pickled Red Onions, Chili Crisp Oil - The pho was tasty and the broth was rich in flavor. You can tell that the broth really has been cooking for the 24 hours. The broth had a few extra spicy flavors that I wasn't used to that I could really tell when eating the bun (noodles), but the spices all came together in the soup. The meat was fall off the bone. However, there was not too many meat balls. The pickled red onions didn't taste too pickled. The brisket was so tender and soft - def tastes different from other traditional pho places. This dish was delicious, but just pricier than I would like to pay for pho. Parking: We parked in the nearby structured parking. First two hours of parking is free! Seating: Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Fortunately there were seats right in front of the store! However, judging from the other reviews it looks like this place can get crowded depending on what time you come. Overall, pretty good for quality pho but prices are a little steep. I would be back to try the other foods off the menu though! read more
The food came out within 15 minutes. On first sip of the broth it was rich and beefy however it was lacking that deep rich umami flavor from the beef. Adding the lime and jalapeños really helped to boost the flavors. The noodles were well cooked and tender. The beef itself was slightly under-seasoned but tender. Overall it was a good experience. Next time I think I'll try a different pho! read more
This sandwich has been all over Instagram so knew we had to check it out while we were visiting Santa Ana. It's located inside a smaller food hall in downtown Santa Ana and we got lucky with it being pretty empty on a weekday. I ordered the famous pho brisket rye sandwich and it comes with a dipping broth on the side. The sandwich was piled high with brisket and I loved the shaved green onions and basil toppings that complimented the meat well. The actual broth was so good that I took sips of it while dipping my sandwich in there at the same time. It does get a bit messy so be prepared to have juices dripping down your hands, but all worth it in the end. I'd definitely be interested in trying their other bun Bo hue sandwich next time I'm in the area. read more

This is the viral Pho brisket sandwich that is all the rage on social media right now, and when I heard they came out with a new Bun bo hue version, I knew I had to try 'em for myself! And Broth is the only place I've heard that does these insane crossover sandwiches, you can find this hidden gem inside the 4th Street Market in Santa Ana. The GIRTH of these sandwiches...like there's no way you can stuff any more meat in this. Both of them come with a side of their respective soups too, Pho soup and BBH soup that you can dip the sandwiches in, but I didn't even get a chance to use them because they were literally so JUICY already. Besides sandwiches, they're also known for their specialty pho, I tried their Tai lan which is a Northern-inspired soup that has marrow onion oil which takes it to a whole other level. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

3.5 star. Came here on a Saturday evening, it was surprisingly quiet. We got the Pho Brisket on Rye and the Tai Lan. I've seen this place featured often on social media, but to be completely honest, I wasn't super impressed. The Tai Lan soup base is strong flavored, oily and salty. The pho brisket on rye is packed with brisket, so that was good. But the brisket itself was somewhat dry and bland. Dipping made it a little better. Overall just an okay experience for me. read more
My friend and I stopped by and both got the pho brisket sandwich on rye. It came out pretty quickly and the pho broth was great. My main issue was that the rye bread was soggy when I got it. It felt like I was holding a normal sandwich on one side and a wet sponge on the other and I hadn't even dipped it in the broth. It was too difficult to dip it due to how soggy it was. In theory this was a great idea but I was pretty disappointed. I think pho is better off left as is. read more
