The yellow curry was rich, flavorful, and comforting, and the steak salad was fresh with a lot of flavor. The steak was cooked well and went perfectly with the salad.

The chicken was dry and over cooked and lacked any flavor that I'm used to. We ordered the pad Thai with Shrimp and it came out with tofu (no Shrimp), but all good, we just rolled with it and wasn't too bad, but I did have to toss in a bunch of chili flakes to add flavor to the bland noodles. It was very large and we had plenty left over. The Pad See Ew was my favorite and had the most flavor. I would recommend this if I ordered again or something totally different from what I ordered this time. The Thai fried rice was decent and as expected. What I was impressed with was the presentation of the food that was nice and clean and included very large portions. The Thai tea needed a little more milk but I could have just asked for some more to be fair. Service was nice and fast and inside was blasting some 90s pop music so it brought me back :) in fact, might have been the best part but to be decided, Boyz to Men always hits hard.

The egg rolls were very good and the pho was one of the best that I've had in Costa Mesa.

They even use alkaline water for their pho! Their chicken is sourced from a Japanese farm, and they don't cut the salads until you order, so everything tastes incredibly fresh. The fish sauce chicken wings are a must! The wings taste fresh, not frozen, and are packed with flavor. The shaken beef is super tender, the egg rolls are perfectly crispy, and the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce are fresh and delicious. And don't miss the yellow noodles tossed with peanut sauce, fresh herbs, and cucumber--it's the perfect refreshing summer salad! They also have beer and cocktails. Come hungry--this place is definitely a must-try!

First time trying Pho here, Google maps showed high ratings. Nothing stood out but it was good…read morepho. Beef broth was ok, portion size was relatively small when comparing to other pho places in the OC. If I'm not mistaken it was +$8 for double meat. The beef was really lean, tender and trimmed. The server made sure to point out that they don't use frozen meats and they utilize filtered water for the broth and cups of H20. The popcorn chicken was a bit of a disappointment. While the dipping sauce made up for it, the chicken by itself lacked seasoning imo. The server mentioned the dipping sauce was made in house as well. The hospitality/ customer service was exceptional. Greeted upon arrival and the server made sure to come back and check on me. She was extremely nice and attentive and I hate that I didnt ask for her name. To sum it all up, in my opinion the Pho was just like any other pho I've tried. The portion size made it a bit pricey but I would come back and visit again. They have alot of drink options too like wine, espresso, cocktails...I think I even seen a homemade ice cream sign. Lots of seating inside and an outside patio. They seem to take pride in preparing dishes from scratch and that doesn't go unnoticed. Nice establishment for the surrounding community to enjoy. Would you travel out of your way to try it, maybe not.

The ordering process was quick, the service was friendly, and my food came out fast. One thing I really liked was how customizable the noodles are--you can choose the type of noodles based on your preference.

Fengying Rice Noodles actually popped up in a Yelp email as a new spot to check out - so I made a…read morepoint to visit this past Friday 7/3. First visit was great - I actually came back the following day (this past Saturday 7/4). Usually, when I'm craving rice noodle soup, I go to my usual Pho 101 - but I wanted to try something different, and was curious about how Fengying's pickled cabbage noodle soups stand out. There's a simple menu - noodle soup or noodles without the broth. You get a selection of proteins including your basic beef / pork / chicken options, to more adventurous meats like gizzards and intestines. There's even a snail meat dish which I'm going to add to my "maybe" list for a future visit. After placing my order and finding a spot, the wait was minimal before the cook walked out to the lobby with my bowl, and set it on their condiment bar. I assumed it was my bowl, since I was first to enter as soon as they opened, but there were a few people that came in after me. The condiment bar has several different chili options from mild to spicy to extremely hot. I opted for no spice, and just added a dollop of minced garlic, roasted peanut balls? and a scoop of green onions. My first visit, I opted for the Pickled Cabbage & Beef Noodle Soup. I've never had guilin noodles before - so didn't know what to expect - but was pleasantly surprised. It was stringy, chewy with a udon-like texture. Reminded me of the round white rice noodles normally served with Bun Bo Hue. The beef slices were tender and flavorful - reminded me like pho flank. Broth is clear and clean - a solid base leaving you free to flavor it up however you like from the condiment bar. The pickled cabbage reminds me of Vietnamese dua chua (pickled mustard greens) - so wasn't bad at all - and added a nice balance to the dish. My return visit (which was the following day) - I opted for the Pickled Cabbage & Crispy Pork Noodle Soup. Holy moly. Seriously. This is my favorite dish. I was thinking of just trying a different dish on each visit to find my favorite - but the Crispy Pork has to be it. It's not even super crunchy too - which I'm not a fan of - the broth softens the crispyness enough so that the pork belly almost melts in your mouth. It very much reminds me of heo quay (Vietnamese style crispy pork belly). All bowls are one size only - I barely finished my bowl on my Friday visit, since I shared a light breakfast with a friend prior. I was able to finish my bowl on my Saturday visit though. Oddly enough, there's boxes of Kleenex tissues on each table - there isn't a regular napkin dispenser at all. I later read up on this, and this seems to be custom for hot rice noodle spots, since its more sanitary - tissues dispense one at a time. Drink options are a herbal tea in a red can - that sorta reminded me of the liquid that comes with herbal grass jelly, soda cans, and a bottled drink that the friendly clerk described as sweet tea. Bowls range from $13 to $20 - comparable to what a decent bowl of pho is going for. This is a great alternative to consider if you want to try something new. They take cash and card. Service is great - the friendly gal assisted me on both visits, and happily packed my nearly full bowl up on Friday, since I could barely finish it. Parking is easy - it's in the same otherwise empty lot as Nguyen's Kitchen, off Harbor & Sunflower. I've never seen this lot get full. Overall, a new favorite - and happy to have so closeby in OC. I've read up more about them, and their other locations are in Hacienda Heights and Ontario. Check out the photos! =P
