I came here because it's along my weekly commute for a special event I am doing. Even though I live not far away, I never go to any of the Pho places around here but this one had a sign in the window that free drinks were offered. So I came in on a Saturday evening and asked if that free drink was included with any entree, and it seemed it was. I got a medium size Pho with a Thai iced tea. The server was kind and gracious - they stand near to your table and wait for you to make your decisions so that when you're ready to order they are right there. After that, the food comes out extremely quickly and then you never see the server again. I saw some other Yelps complaining about this but honestly, they bring you everything you need and/or have it at the table already, so I don't see why anyone would need a "check up". Anyway, the price was good, the taste was great, and despite some other reviews I found the cleanliness to be acceptable. Sure, there was dirt and dust around the windowsills. It's not a deal breaker. The tables, floors and booths were clean and that's all I needed. I will come back! read more

Since I was born, my family has gone to this exact Phở shop. That's 30 years of love and care for the same food and restaurant! We have no affiliation with the people or owners whatsoever, but we know good food when we taste it. My family always orders to go because we like the abundant amount we get to make at home. On special occasions, we dine in. When you dine in, you get a free beverage of your choice to go along with your meal. My brother gets Thai tea, I get soy milk, my fiancé gets a soda, and my dad gets their special soda chanh (lemon). My family always orders the Phở xe lửa which is the extra large bowls. Today, we opted for medium size since we had eaten before coming here! You can't beat the tastes of the heart my broth, fresh meats, soft tripe, and chewy tendon. The smell is enticing. A little secret! We always order green onions in beef fat to drip into our bowls for extra flavor. Thank you for running your business for this long! Cheers to more years. read more

staff members there are already half decent, but the server that was also the cashier with a bald/ shaved head, wearing a mask; has the worst attitude read more

Hands down, Pho 54 is one of the best places for comfort food. Every time I come here, they deliver. I ordered the #28 steamed rice with charbroiled pork chop, topped with their rich gravy, over-medium egg, onions, and mushrooms... OMG, absolutely amazing. So much flavor in every bite. I also got the #57 pho beef stew with the roll, and wow -- so good, deep flavor, super comforting, and perfectly cooked. This place never misses. If you're craving real comfort food that hits the spot, Pho 54 is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Upon walking in around 1040p , I was offered a seat closest to the door. I did ask for a table not near the door and was accommodated. Ordered a #7..it was great food, as you can see from the eaten plate. The main server was great nice and attentive. The 2nd busser on the other hand told me that the drinks after the first is an additional charge. I don't understand that wasn't listed on the signage anywhere. I did contact a friend that did recommend this place they did say they only had one but not recollection of an upcharge on 2nd drink. It seems that drinks are not free after one purchase. The restaurant offered water to compensate, but I would have preferred the tea since it was more delicious than the other carbonated drinks. So be careful drinks are not free refills on tea. Possibly on carbonated drinks. read more

Pho 54 - 3/4 eaten #7 with Sriracha. - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

+ Simple homey pho. + Enjoyed the free drink with a meal order. + The food itself is cheap as is! + Polite, helpful staff. - Crowded parking. - Unsafe ambience. When you go to pay your check, you'll notice photos of unruly thieves that have ventured into this restaurant. Swiping cheap ornaments. Tội nghiệp the staff, man. They're just tryna make a living. Sorry for Pho 54 to operate in a questionable neighborhood. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it felt like such a nostalgic moment. They're currently offering a promotion where each entree comes with a free drink! I got the pho with just the noodles and soup and a soy milk. The pho came out literally so quick! I also loved that they have the vinegar onions here, which paired great with the pho. I kinda wish I had remembered to ask for the wide noodles, but even with the standard noodles, it was still very good! The staff here are super friendly, and are bilingual, so you can talk to them either in English or Viet. It wasn't too crowded when we went, but the restaurant is pretty large and can fit a ton of people! Their menu is pretty extensive here, with literally all of the common Viet dishes you can think of like com tham, bun, mi, pho, etc. Parking is decent, but can be hard if the plaza is busy. Since we came during nonpeak hours, parking was a breeze! read more

Worse experience ever!!! I came for dinner with my kids and the employee who was cleaning tables was drunk and kept fighting with one of the servers. He was being super aggressive towards him, and us. He gave me a plate and spoon and just threw it at my table and kept going screaming bad words and tossing everything into his trash can. read more

I always get the pho tai (rare steak). Last time I tried the premium meat and it was so good! Love that there's options. First time the broth was a bit salty but all others have not been. Every time I've come here there's been a free beverage. I get the thai tea. read more

Pho 54 - Pho tai filet mignon with free thai tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I loved: Thai Iced Tea Vietnamese Coffee Pho Ðặc Biệt This was good: Pho Tại + My was my favorite Pho restaurant growing up and it still hits 20 years later $13 dollars for a bowl is insane value in this economy. The drinks are better than I remember, the Thai Iced Tea is the perfect level of sweetness and I really like how concentrated the Việt coffee is (way more than normal). Service is great but I'm also Vietnamese so maybe there's so inherent give because I speak the language. Not only did this place survive the pandemic, I don't think anything's actually changed about the place physically. Same booths and tables I will say that the restroom does smell but is otherwise pretty clean. read more

We were advid frequenters to the spot across the street. It was an on the whim decision to try out a new spot this visit; and thank God we did. There is plenty of hassle free parking, and there are plenty of servers to wait on you with fast and diligent customer service. We both tried our usual Dac Biet ($12) portions were huge, plenty of meat and such a good proportion of noodle to meat. The side veggies were a heaping generous fill. The soup was delicious! Also ordered a side of egg rolls($11), not necessarily egg rolls since they're wrapped and deep fried with rice paper, but BOY were they delicious. Filling was absolutely addictive and the rice paper fry was perfect. No air bubbles here! The fish sauce was given tangy and had a perfect amount of heat. Our new go-to spot! Can't wait to revisit again. read more

I've been trying to find a good pho spot for a while n i think this one is it. The broth is super rich. The server is a cute old guy and he always attends super good. If you don't know what to get I recommend the #16 it's simple and delicious. Super cheap too $12 for a small that has big portions and an extra .50 for a medium. read more

Ordered Meat and rice and Vermicelli with meat. All were tasty. The ambiance is ok but the restroom can use some work. They don't ask you if you are good. You would have to flag them down to get something you want. It's order and never get checked on. On the positive note, you get 1 x free drink with your meal. Coke, tea or Thai ice tea of your liking. Food was delicous! Meals were affordable! The Negative, They will not check up on you but still obligated to tip. Restrooms are filthyp. Staff is friendly! Over all I recommend! read more

Came on a Sunday night at 11pm. Just needed a quick pho fix after work and decided to give this place a shot. Wasn't too busy, but there were plenty of other customers. Was seated right away and order taken quickly. Went with the Pho Dac Biet. Order came out in a decent amount of time. The broth was somewhat bland, but the meats were okay. I didn't expect to be blown away or anything, but I got a below average bowl of pho. Not a lot of options at this time of day so give this place a try if you're desperate. read more

Love this place. The food are delicious and the staff was great. Will definitely come back here again.

I would have rated 5 stars but the last two times I came here, my orders were not how I ordered it...this time, my noodles were uncooked, I had to boiled water and cooked it. Last time, my broth was cold. I really like this restaurant and been coming here as loyal customer since I was 18 yo. I am now in my mid 50s. Word of advice, be careful to ensure customers orders are correct and making them happy, they'll be back...I felt neglected with my orders....I'll be sure to double check it before I leave the restaurant in the future. Should have someone who's bilingual taking orders. I hope the managers or owners read this...hate to see business decline for simple mistakes. read more

Nice family owned pho restaurant. Very spacious interior with some booths. The pho is very fairly priced and portions are huge. They even offer a variety of complementary non-alcoholic drinks besides water like Thai tea, soy milk, lemonade. Waiter was very kind and friendly. read more

Had pho today and wow -- it seriously hit the spot. The broth was rich and flavorful, you could tell it had been simmering for hours. The noodles were soft but not mushy, and the meat was tender and juicy. I added a bit of lime, some jalapeños, and a mountain of bean sprouts -- perfection It's one of those meals that just makes you feel good inside, especially on a cold day. Simple, warm, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back for another bowl soon! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Such reasonable prices for amazing food and portion sizes! Warm pho on a cold day is so amazing :) What we ordered + some notes: Spring Rolls: My absolute favorite and a comfort food- so fresh and yum. I opt to not get pork in my spring rolls, so it is just shrimp, but either way is delicious! The peanut sauce is so great, and something I always look forwards to at a Vietnamese restaurant. Shrimp Pho: Amazing as always! Hot Soy Milk: Very underrated and a classic for any Asian kid! Definitely nostalgic for me. read more

This restaurant was spacious, but not so clean. It seemed kind've homey, but I couldn't ignore how dirty the utensils and tables were. The pho was extremely oily. The oil sticks to your lips and utensils as u eat it. The staff was very very rude to me when I went up to pay the check the man insisted he gave our bill to my friends even though my boyfriend and I arrived later and ordered later than my group. We went back and forth and proceeded to give me an attitude after his coworker explained we had a different check. He even charged us the 2 Thai teas that they said were complimentary despite my big group of friends's sodas and thai teas weren't charged on their bill. Was extremely disappointed in this restaurants customer service and food. read more

After an evening flight, we drove straight down to Pho 54 for dinner, because it's still open during late hours! It's not the cleanest restaurant, but the staff are friendly and work fast, so you can fill up on decent food in no time! I like that our meal comes with 1 free drink (choice of thai tea, soda, soy milk, or soda lemonade.) Prices are low and portion sizes are filling. read more

Pho goes so well with late night right when you need a bowl of soup to warm your soul! We've been hitting up this spot since we were young, and I miss the ballons they used to give out! The pho is a stable choice with the tendon, and the complimentary drinks go so well after something salty. You know what you're getting for this price range. The place is comfy and minimal, and the service is quick at the wee hours. Especially after an evening flight, this place is great to fill Asian craving after eating only bagels and sandwiches from a trip. read more
