One of the original pho place in the area. I haven't eaten here in about 20 years. A small pho bowl is stuffed with noddles and meat- they fill it up to the rim. Rice dish - grilled pork was really good! I would say it's better than the pho. Also tried a Vietnamese desert- it was ok. Plenty of parking outside too. This place can accommodate large groups- great for family and friends. read more

Our favorite late night spot for pho. Right when we enter it is so room-y you could bring a party of 2 or a party of 8! They are so quick when it comes to the service, taking your order right away (we always know what we want). We order two large pho with brisket! A half order (make sure you specify otherwise you get 4) of the egg rolls. Everything comes out in a timely manner, sometimes it's so fast before we get our sauces ready! The broth is always consistent in being flavorful and filling. I know I can always count on Pho 54 for my quick fix. One thing to note is that they charge .25 cents for the to-go containers, but not usually a problem for me as I usually finish everything. read more

Pho 54 - Large Brisket Pho with half order of egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

This pho place has been a mainstay of early morning outings with friends. It's a really chill time of day to go, and the pho always comes out piping hot. It's a simply decorated restaurant, and quintessentially Vietnamese. It's got claw games at the front, and the place looks like its frozen in time, which was honestly, very homey to see. Service is quick, especially when we're one of two parties. Sit down, order up, and wait for just a few quick minutes for your food to show up. This particular day, we got spring rolls, egg rolls, and pho! The spring rolls were nothing to write home about, but the egg rolls were pretty tasty! I love the crispy wrapper, and the rolls themselves are fried perfectly. Dippers can wrap it up in lettuce and dunk into the fish sauce. Pho? Yeah, it's pretty darn good. I like the broth here. It's simple, not overly-seasoned, and easy to eat, with or without sriracha or hoisin. Do it how you want. I get the dac biet every time, because I like the variety, but my friends get the rare beef and brisket. Can't really go wrong. Overall, it's a spot we frequent for a reason. Come by! read more

I haven't been to Pho 54 since I was a kid. But this was a second best to Pho 45 which closes at 9pm. At first I was skeptical, because Pho 45 has always been my #1. Food came out quick, even before my water. The broth was light and yummy! The only thing was the meat was a bit chewy compared to 45. I'll def come back to change things up! read more

Pho 54 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

We started coming here a couple decades ago, and it was one of our go to pho spots when we lived in the area. I recently stopped by this place with my mother for a quick lunch. It was a Monday afternoon a little after the lunch hour. It was super slow with just a few tables occupied. The staff were attentive and pretty friendly for this type of restaurant. I most definitely appreciate that! Our combination pho noodle soup came out very quickly as anticipated. I recall that the flavor of the broth used to be very rich and had a lot of depth. However, the broth during this visit just was not the same as I remember back in the day. We were both starving and finished all of the contents in our soup, but had no desire to finish the broth. I'm not sure if we will be back. read more

Service was quick and simple. Place is nice and clean and plenty of space. We ordered 2 different pho bowls. The broth had a good flavor. Needed a nice soothing pho and this satisfied the craving enough. Not the best but would come back again. We also ordered the eggrolls and loved how it came with veggies as it was definitely a bonus. Would recommend to others. Also ordered a drink/dessert. Thought it was going to be jelly but it wasn't but it was still good. Definitely has a lot of meet compared to others in the area. read more

We were looking to come here for some pho in the rain and stumbled upon this place. It was nice to see this because we also have a Pho 54 in San Jose. We came in and I got their signature dish. The service was very quick and they had a vast amount of dishes on their menu. Pho Dac Biet (6.5/10): The broth was kind of like your old school broth. It wasn't as flavorful and had a bit of msg in it for more flavor. The noodles was cooked fine and they had a lot of meat in there. I liked how the tendon wasn't too chewy and still had a bounce to it. They gave a lot of vegetables with the pho. Overall, it was a solid bowl of pho. Coming from high expectations, I would say that if I want purely quantity, I would come back as their large bowl is only $14 as it is $18 where I usually get it. The restaurant really reminded me of my childhood when I used to get pho at a now closed local pho shop. read more

Went with my family at lunch on Tuesday. There was only one other customer in there. It was dead and after our experience it's no longer a surprise as to why. We ordered three bowls of pho and some eggrolls for the kids. As we cut into the eggrolls the oil poured out of them into a puddle in the plate and there sat a plate of just sloppy grease filled rolls just swimming in oil. We told her we can't feed this to the kids the oil is just pouring out of it and her response was "well it is fried in oil, we're not returning it" Excuse you? First off I've had plenty of eggrolls at many pho spots. They are not filled and dripping in oil like that, EVER. Second, this place needs to step up their service and quality. Not to mention their broth was extremely bland. My husband used to come here back in the day and he said it has gone down tremendously. This restaurant was not the business. There are million times better pho joints out there that actually care about quality and service. Don't waste your time or money on this place. read more

Before the pandemic, this place used to stay open until 2 or even 3 a.m., and it was my go-to spot whenever I was craving pho or other Vietnamese comfort dishes late at night. It was hard to beat having a reliable place for a hot bowl of noodles in the middle of the night. While their hours are shorter now and they close at midnight, it's still a solid late-night option compared to most places nearby. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, with a large pho typically costing around $14-$15. The broth has good flavor and depth, making it a satisfying choice, especially on colder nights. Service is also pretty fast--I usually don't have to wait long for my food to come out, which is always a plus when you're hungry. Overall, it's a dependable spot for pho with fair pricing and quick service. read more

We were in Little Saigon and decided to try a pho spot we haven't tried before. They had their own shared parking lot with decent amount of parking on the weekend. The restaurant was busy, but still had a few empty tables during lunch time. We ordered a pho tai sach, vermicelli, and a rice plate with pork. Pho: the broth was very flavorful and delicious. I ordered a large to share with my 5 year old, and found portions good. Vermicelli: the egg roll was so flaky and crispy! Portion was good and the pork had a nice lemongrass flavor. Rice plate with pork, shredded pork, and egg loaf: we got a good amount of protein with the rice. The charbroiled beef was well seasoned and not dry. The food came very quickly, and service was friendly and helpful. read more

We came at around 9:30 p.m. looking for some warm soup on a chilly night. The restaurant was pretty empty, with only about 4-5 tables occupied. I ordered the large pho tai ($14) and an iced tea ($3). The pho satisfied my soup craving but it wasn't anything special. There was plenty of beef though it was on the dry side. Our table ordered two iced teas but they only brought one out. I even mentioned to the staff that they forgot the second one,yet they didn't bring it until the very end of our meal. When I asked for the check, I was told to pay at the counter. That's where the confusion started. There was a small crowd of people waiting for different things some waiting to be seated, some ordering to-go, and others like me waiting to pay. I ended up waiting almost 10 minutes just to check out. Definitely an authentic Vietnamese restaurant experience . Overall it's a decent spot if you want some late-night pho but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. There are much better pho options in Little Saigon. read more

This is my second visit to Pho-54 (which usually requires an extended lunch), and I had a slightly disappointing experience that might make me reconsider returning. The restaurant had an extension area, a converted outdoor patio to provide additional seatings. The area was lined with live plants (e.g., Jade Plants). The restaurant seems outdated but we're here for the food and not writing for AD-magazine. The owner/staff were nice and welcoming. Unless you speak Vietnamese, there was a light language barrier so pointing to the menu is preferred. We all ordered our usually pho or the vermicelli noodles, then another coworker and I decided to change it up and ordered rice places, instead of our usual and what a regret. The Pork Chop and Stir-fried Chicken rice plate. We asked the staff to add-on a fried egg on each plate. The noodles dishes were all perfect and great! The first shocker was my chicken plate was drenched in sauce and missing a fried egg. The correction was made with fried egg coming on separate plate on the side. It was so bad that I barely finish my meal. The pork chop was good but feedback from my coworker was the small portion does not measure up to the price-point. read more

Pho 54 is located about a block from Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley and are open until 12am midnight every day. We ordered the pho dac biet ($13) and the shrimp and pork spring rolls ($?). The pho broth was light and didn't have as strong of a flavor as other pho broths in the area. It tasted like it was made with chicken but I wasn't sure about that. I usually judge a place by its broth and while I normally finish all or most of it, this time I didn't care to drink more than I needed to. For the spring rolls, the pork was dry and just okay. Our total including tax was ~$27 so the rolls were about $10-12? Either we got ripped off or these were way overpriced for what they were. I probably should've asked but it also didn't help that we didn't get a receipt but instead just a total amount to pay. The good thing was that the food came out blazing fast in minutes but that was the end of it. They do take card but require a $20 minimum. Personally I think there are better places in the area. read more

Disgusting food. Terrible service. They didn't give enough vegetables or lime. Orders were taken incorrectly. There were 5 of us, each of whom ordered different types of Pho, but the server brought out the bowls and left them on the table without telling us which was which. Mind you, we were the only table. Chicken Pho was made with shredded chicken with the soup. They can't even do a decent ginger fish sauce. Not recommend and would not return. read more

Pho (almost) any time of the day! Had a craving hit at 8am and this place hit the spot! For the #1 special, broth was light and flavorful, plenty of veggie things were included and the meat was good. No complaints about this place and a good spot if you're craving pho. read more

The service was good but the food is horrible. Water had strong faucet taste and that also impacted the pho broth. My vermicelli sauce was horrible, diluted, and weird taste. The grilled pork was dry, weird clumps and taste was off, my greens tasted like dish soap. Im not from here and was hoping that this would be authentic Vietnamese food but it's not. Dont waste your time or money. They also did not have the traditional condiments for pho to call themselves pho! The pho was horrible!!! We wont be coming back!!! I rate a 00000 read more

Pro-tips: Super fast service if you're looking for a quick meal in a casual setting. They have chili oil if you ask for it. Highlights: Great value! I've never had so much protein in one bowl of pho before! Definitely feels like more meat than noodles. The che was good too, but not quite the style that I'm used to. Lowlights: They ran out of mint and basil leaves when we went, but they did give us extra bean sprouts when we asked for it. They also don't put out chili oil and other sauces that you might want so you do have to ask for it. read more

I especially loved: Thai Iced Tea Vietnamese Coffee I loved: Pho Ðặc Biệt I really liked: Pho Tại + This 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 restaurant does smell but is otherwise pretty clean. read more

Good price for the above medium quality with its great customer services. Will be back.

Simply put, this bowl of pho gets the job done! I ordered a small #1, and similar to every other bowl of pho: the broth warms your soul; the proteins & noodles satiate your body's craving for recovery after a rough night out; and lastly the toppings I added are fresh and vibrant. The only reason I gave this review 4 stars is because the pho doesn't strike me as unique in any way. It's just another great bowl of pho to me; which is actually a good thing! Mentally, I give almost all pho places 3 stars, but I decided to leave a yelp review on pho 54 because I think they deserve the recognition. Their service is what did it for me. As soon as I walked up they opened doors for me upon arrival and exit. On top of that, I felt like my food was fresh and ready before I even ordered it haha! So quick! They have indoor and outdoor seating. While the inside was cool, I wish I had sat outdoors because the lighting looked ideal for food photos haha! I'll have to update the photos next time I visit! Looking forward to that, thanks Pho 54 for being great! read more

Pho is perfect in all seasons, but it's especially comforting on a cold winter evening. The order: Pho Vietnamese iced coffee Com Tam The good: They're open fairly late, which makes it a great spot for a warm meal after a long day. Service is fast, even for large parties, so you won't be waiting long. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and well-made--definitely a highlight. The prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option for bigger families. The soup dishes stood out the most--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The bad: The rice dishes didn't impress me as much as the soups. Stick to Pho read more

i have not been to this place for 20something years because there quality was going downhill. i gave it another try tonight. Again the soup was not hot enough. The cut of meat reflect a those rainbow marbles that made me lost my appetite.

On a cold late night, this was everything and more. The eggrolls were the best that I've ever had-- it was full of flavor and remained crispy.

You know how life is this ludicrous mess consisting of extreme emotion, patriarchal obscenities, and circumstantial horrors? Well, within our linear spiderweb of dismay, there are moments of pure bliss. Neatly interwoven to strike awe and leave something for the philosophers to think on, the writers to regurgitate, and the artists to paint. I believe these moments usually include pho. In house, not take-away. To get soup to-go is to remove the stars from the night sky. Late night noodles over neurotic conversation with friends is a core memory, having single-handedly built a portion of my personality. Recently, we got a bit of rain here in Orange County and, for those of you not in the area, this is BIG news. We all go absolutely feral at the sight of water falling from the sky and foam at the mouth demanding something hot to sooth our consternation at the loss of the sunny and 75. In classic California fashion, I opted to take the hot broth route with friends. Pho 54 has service down to a science, which is not outside of the ordinary for any food establishment in Little Saigon. You'll never have to wait to be seated but it's always buzzing. With consistent specials painted proudly on colorful posters covering the large windows, you'll find something regardless of any dietary restriction. You'll be greeted and within a few short minutes, a steaming bowl of pho paired with heaps of fresh sprouts, sliced jalapenos, and aromatic basil will appear. Here I fell victim to the Proust effect, which is the phenomenon of associating a memory with a taste or smell. I can still taste the vibrant and flavorful broth hot on my tongue. With it, I can hear utensils clattering over booms of laughter all while The Smiths How Soon Is Now floats in the room around me. Creating a comforting cocoon of complete and total content. Our world is not doing well, and here in the states we are experiencing political and social crises unlike anything we've seen within our lifetime. That said, we can still live in these moments together. We can support small businesses and gather with our loved ones to enjoy the little things in life, like late night pho at Pho 54. 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 coming here for years -- maybe about 15 years. I think the broth didn't taste that great after a while, but I think it tastes similar to what it did when I was a child again. I haven't tried anything besides their pho, so not sure how the other menu items taste. The prices are still fair and the service is very fast! I've never had to wait for a seat. The decorations and seats haven't changed over the years. It's still very casual and they have big tables, so good spot for big parties. read more

I was impressed this place opens late- perfect for people who get off work/school late or are just late night eaters. The pho is decent for late night pho cravings. Their thit nuong for the com tam rice is pretty good however they can definitely make an improvement on making the cha(egg cake) which came out dry to taste. Their pho is cheap ranging from $11 to $13 and great for locals who have a late night pho craving. Their cha gio, which is their eggrolls, was fresh and came with a side of veggies (i got 2 big lettuce wraps and some mint/basil leaves, though I wish there was more lettuce or at least one more eggroll for the price of $11.50 as of October 2024) Service was quick and friendly, definitely good job keeping restrooms clean. read more

I LOVE everything that I've tried here. They're labeled a pho restaurant but their com tam is to die for, genuinely some of the best I've ever had away from Vietnam. I've had their beef steak plate and their pork chop plate and both were AMAZING. Their pho broth is always perfect as well, never too sweet or too salty, but a good amount of depth and flavor. I always enjoy coming here because the workers greet you with such warmth, as if you're a member of their family that they're seeing again. This is such a hidden gem! read more

The food here is authentic, inconsistent, and can be good or bad but it is edible food. You come here because it's one of the few places this open late at night, had a long day, and need an affordable filling dinner that also comes with free thai tea. The place might be a little dirty and homeless people might walk in. Your servers are Vietnamese immigrants who understand English. The patrons are working class families in the same place you are. This is a 3/5 - 3.5/5 and the owners don't give a shit. Sure, their food could improve and attract more people but the people know what they're expecting. read more
