In just this first experience, I ould already see why. We went for a very late lunch (close to 3pm) and the place was still quite busy. The pho here...it just, well HITS. So satisfying - sheer perfection from broth to toppings, I simply can't explain. They offer different sizes, so take consideration especially if you're like me and wanted to also try an appetizer (cha gio/egg rolls) or add toppings (meatballs), as I got full fast, and in hindsight could have done with the 'Small' over 'Regular,' considering. Vietnamese coffee was also fantastic - the rocket fuel I needed, and served in a to-go cup which ended up being exactly what I did.

We ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Yamadaya Ramen, and the Katsu Curry Bowl. The portions were beyond generous and the Katsu Curry Bowl was exceptionally large - would be great to share. Perfect amount of spice in the Tonkotsu; the broths for both were silky, light, but deep in flavor. Another Yelper gave a shout out to the Shrimp Temura roll and it was delicious. The gyoza was decent. Service was quick and focused, and the waitress was very pleasant.

It's a small restaurant and they don't take reservation but the way isn't too long. They have both counter seating and a few small tables. Service is quick and friendly-many people have been coming here for years and the kitchen consist of brothers who have been making the pasta for a long time. I enjoyed the clam pasta, and my boyfriend got the spinach bacon pasta, which he says he orders every time! They are simple but delicious.

This was one of the spots they went to when they first started dating many many years ago. It's definitely nostalgic every time we eat here. So glad to see that they're still here and thriving. There's a small parking lot in the back and street parking available. The restaurant is pretty small and only has 4 tables, but lots of bar style seatings. Lines can get pretty long but service is pretty quick. Crazy since they still have their $1 salad still available! It's such a good deal and the salad dressing is delicious. All of their pastas had been delicious. They have a lot of fusion pastas.

Bowl Thai is the original location, and their other two locations, Sweet Rice and Bowl Thai Grill, are just a couple blocks away. I've been to both and they were both fantastic, so I wanted to try out the original Bowl Thai. Like the other two restaurants, Bowl Thai has similar decor with simple and clean furniture. Order first at the counter, then you're given a cup for self-serve water. The self serve station also has napkins and utensils. Then, it's free seating and the food is brought to you, freshly made to order and pretty quickly, I might add. I had the Tom Yumm Soup with chicken (default is medium spicy). It was a huge serving in very large bowl. It came with a bowl of white rice. The flavors were rich and aromatic, a great mixture of beach mushrooms, lemongrass, lime, and chili. I also had their Thai Iced Tea, perfectly creamy and refreshing. The service was great, friendly, fast, and checked on me during the meal to make sure I had everything I needed.

We tried the Boat House Noodle Soup and seafood Hot pot. The broth for the beef soup was rich and deep. It almost had a sweetness to it even though it was pretty spicy. Great combination. And the seafood was sour and spicy, with a great light flavor to it. You've gotta try both of these! The parking situation is not great on weekends because there are several popular restaurants in this place but it's so worth it!!

If you're in a hurry you can get in and out quickly, and if you want to take it slow and enjoy your meal, you will never be pressured to finish. We truly love this place and highly recommend to all!

With so many options, it was honestly a little overwhelming to choose. I decided to keep things simple and ordered the sashimi and broiled mackerel fish set, which came with rice, miso soup, cabbage salad, and macaroni salad. My husband couldn't settle on just one dish, so he went all out with a chicken oyakodon, grilled salmon, steamed eggplant, and a stir-fried chicken and bean sprout dish. The restaurant itself is narrow and deep, which actually reminded me of some of the small alleyway restaurants we visited during our travels in Japan. It added to the cozy and authentic feel. The service was attentive, especially when we requested a few extra items. One thing that really stood out was their ponzu sauce. It seemed to include green onions and perhaps a touch of vinegar, and it was absolutely delicious. It paired perfectly with the sashimi, steamed eggplant, and even the chicken dishes. Next time, I'm definitely going to spend some time studying the menu beforehand. The portions were generous enough that we had leftovers for another meal, and we were lucky enough to find parking right in front of the restaurant.

It's especially nice to have a place like this available when most other spots are closed. I ordered the large pho combination bowl along with an order of cream cheese wontons. The portions were very generous--I couldn't finish everything and definitely would have been fine ordering a small pho bowl. The broth was decent and satisfying, though flavor-wise I've had better pho elsewhere in Orange County. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically for pho, but for the price, location, portion size, and late-night convenience, it's a solid option and worth trying if you're nearby or craving something comforting after hours.

The pho had ZERO flavor, and the egg rolls were burnt. Even my Arnold Palmer wasn't good, which says a lot. Bill came out to $80 for food that wasn't worth it at all. Service was just as disappointing--they barely checked on us but still expected a tip. Honestly, I don't recommend this place. If you're going to spend that much, go somewhere else where the food actually has flavor and is worth your money.
