We came for brunch after a long night out for some good old pho. Note they're starting to give free drinks with every food order now! But also note if you order water first and then order your "free" drink you will be charged $0.20 per cup of water! WTF? Cmon seriously for a cup of tap water just gimme the cup and i'll go fill it up in the bathroom... Anyhow the food was your typical pho. But the service was definitely lacking this time. The totally forgot our drink orders till everyone was practically done eating! I mean we're thirsty so we're our free thai teas?!? read more

Best phó ever since the early 80s. I have been going here since hs. It's a very family oriented feel restaurant and they know your "usual" order. Note there is An ATM machine inside since this is a cash only restaurant. Decor 5/5 Pretty modern look and seats are well maintained. Tv to watch the latest games ! Safety 5/5 Camera everywhere so you are safe even at the late hours Meals 5/5 Fast and quick. I order the #1, spring rolls and egg rolls. And it comes out within 10 minutes. Can't beat that. Worth coming for those cold weathers and just enough to fill! read more

I used to really like this place but the quality has gone down bad. The meat portion is so small now and i had a really bad stomachache after eating it. Will not definitely come back read more

Phở 54 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Pho restaurants with some seemingly random number, such as 54, is a common thing in "Little Saigon". Pretty sure some of those numbers have a meaningful significance to the original owners, but such significance are rarely, if ever, shared in the "About Us" page of the typical mom and pop Pho restaurants. Pho 99 sounds auspicious. Pho 88 has lucky 8s. Pho 95, might have been opened in 1995. Why Pho 54? No clue. Opened on April 5 or May 4th or that's when the owner was born? You guessed are as plausible as mine. Regardless of how the name is chosen, the fact that Pho 54 is a decent pho restaurant with competitive prices, and like so many of their competitions, does not accept credit or debit cards as payment. Cash is king here, baby! There is an ATM on premise, in case of emergency. Besides pho, they also have bun and rice plates and the ubiquitous appetizer and drink menu selections. The pho is served hot and quick. The bean sprouts and herbs are fresh. But ask for white onions on the side, if you want that or have never tried that with pho. If you are in this hood with a crying for PHO and don't know what restaurant to try, give Pho 54 a try. Their pho will knock your socks off, but it will not disappoint either. 3 stars solid! read more

Would definitely recommend for authentic and delicious Vietnamese food for an affordable prices. They serve large portions that keep you full for a while. The food is fresh and hot. I will be coming back! read more

First time for everything and I'm happy I picked this spot to try out pho for the first time. My experience was great! I ordered the shrimp pho and it was really good. The broth was just right. The shrimp was cleaned probably and cooked well. Didn't have a bad sea taste like other shrimp I've tried. The service was fast and the guy was really patient with us. I was taking forever to order and he took his time to talk to us about the menu. We dine in with our face masks but you're able to take them off only while we're eating. They don't pack down the restaurant and are following the guidelines to sit people far away from each other. I noticed that only four families like small parties were able to dine in and I saw another couple coming in and the sat them outside, so I like that this restaurant is being precautious. So I'll be coming back for some more pho read more

First time here my friend brought me since she mentioned it was her favorite pho place in town. s soon as we parked and start walking towards the restaurant I thought wow smells delicious! I was surprised there a lot of people dining in but they were good to try to distance people. The Pho was good and the broth was yummy I think the bowls are smaller than other places I've been to but at least you get what you paid for $7.50 for a regular bowl. I was really impressed with the egg rolls they were crispy and tasted homemade, I think I will be back to try the vermicelli bowls. read more

Not sure if it's because my brother and I just came back from Coachella after 2 hours of driving at midnight, but the pho here tasted amazing. I'm sure the exhaustion played a part, but the broth was really flavorful and noodles/toppings weren't stingy. Service was also crazy fast. We literally ordered and 5 minutes later, food was ready and hot. Decently priced too. Staff was your typical Vietnamese style where they leave you alone unless you aggressively wave them down for something. There were actually about 4 couples hanging around despite it being a Sunday night/Monday morning. It was nice to have somewhere to eat past 9-10pm for sure! read more

I've been going here for quite a while. Whenever my non-Vietnamese college buddies were in town I would take them here. You can never go wrong with PHO and the drinks are cheap right? Oh by the way, you're going to pho restaurants for a good warm bowl of pho. It's cheap and quick. Compared to restaurant alternatives any pho restaurant is relatively healthy. Get the Pho Tai. Maybe get a Cha Thai. Pay cash. You cannot go wrong. read more

Pho? I have to admit the food is good along with the price. BUT here are a few of my issues about this place. The parking really sucks if you get there during rush hour. The Liquor store across from them are just idiots and makes threats to you if you park in front of their business. I had an argument with the owner after I bought some gum from him and walked to PHO54. He came running out and began screaming that he would tow my car away and began cursing at me. He made up his own home make signs saying no parking if you are not his customer. What a jerk off! Didn't I just buy something in your store you %^&^&**! Once inside Pho54 the place looks dirty like it needs a good cleaning. They have several TV sets on playing Vietnamese soap opera and sometimes its loud. They will be fast to seat you and get your order in broken English. A drink comes with your meal but no free refills. They are quick to get your food out to you. BUT, once you get your food they are hard to ask for anything else. You have to ask for your bill or just walk up to the register and pay. This is a pay CASH Only and an ATM is next to the register that charges $3.00 for each transaction. In conclusion, the location sucks and service sucks and bring CASH! read more

Phở 54 - Number 1. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Come here as my family last SoCal meal before going back home to San Francisco. It wasn't really busy when we came here. My family all Got the pho dac biet. For $6.25 for each bowl. So cheap!! Especially for the a large. Don't really see that in SF. The foods came out fast. Our drinks came after our food even though we order our drinks at the same time as we order our food. Anyways the pho itself, the bowl doesnt look like a large bowl(as it say in the menu). Its more like a medium bowl. The pho was average/decent enough to satisfy your soup craving. This place only accept cash as a form of payment. read more

A pho restaurant that I've been to many times over my time in Orange County. It is on the right hand side of Brookhurst heading north, visible by the bright blue neon that is covering each window pane. Parking lot is a little bit cramped and there's a lot of other businesses in the little strip mall. Parked nearby and walked inside. There's a waiting area with a small temple set up (lol) and you walk forward to get seated. Never have had to wait for seating here! The dining area is a wide and spacious area with lots of chairs and seats. It's relatively clean but you can tell it's an old establishment. It looks to be family run since I always see people just chilling at the restaurant! Pho Tai (3.5/5) - soup was okay, not too bad. It kind of left an okay-ish aftertaste in my mouth. Noodles were also an okay al dente but maybe a bit on the softer side. The meat was already cooked when it got to the table so by the time I got to the last few pieces, the meat was tough at that point. Egg Roll (4/5) - yummy egg roll! The outside was crispy and crunchy with the center being pretty flavorful. They served it with lettuce, mint, cilantro, and some fish sauce. Putting everything together (protip - add the pickled veggies in the fish sauce) and eating it all at once was AMAZING. Overall - good place but not the best pho restaurant ever. Come here if you want some solid, delicious pho at a affordable price. read more

The food was good. But the cleanliness and service were like... :( If it wasn't the eyelash in the pho, the toothpick in the egg roll, or washing the lemons in the hand sink. Um... I don't really know what to say. It was good, I devoured my food. Was so hungry I had noodles on my head and shoulder. But what the hell, the toothpick... read more

We've been coming here for years and it has never disappointed. The food is good and service is fast. It's not the prettiest restaurant and the servers don't give me the warm and fuzzies, but it always fulfills my Vietnamese food cravings. I like their broken rice dishes as well as the pho. My mom always gets the vermicelli with egg roll and pork; every part of the dish is tasty. My dad likes the steak with mushrooms. read more

3/5 Stars. Okay food, okay service, no wait, a little bit dirty and sticky, would not come here again!

Good seafood pho, clean and friendly staff and parking available. I do recommend this place.

Easy parking. Spacious inside. Easy to order take out. Fast service. Ordered the Pho Tai Dac Biet and was really good.

I decided to try this place out because the parking lots often seems full when I pass by. Also it looks newer and clean from the outside. Got their steak and tendon pho. It was ok. Broth could have been hotter. Not much condiments on the table. Price was reasonable. Unimpressed. Won't be back. read more

Well if you want a good Pho, this is the place to be just bring cash because they don't accept credit cards.

Fast service even when it's busy. Amazing broth! My go to spot for pho. Lives up to all its good reviews.

Been here a cpl times, unfortunately will not be going any more...saw a roach crawling on the table.

It was a rainy day when I came to this place the first time. It was a welcoming aroma as we walked in. They brought our soups super fast even though the place was full. Loved the pho with ribs ! read more

One of my favorite late night pho spots, especially when it's chilly out. Service is quick and food is good.

The pho quality has gone downhill in Little Saigon, I've had better pho in the desert lately. Update: no my girlfriend and I were up all night sick. A refund would be nice, I don't plan on eating pho out for a while anymore New update: Still no resolution from management. read more

The rating for it .... is a 3/12 star. We tried and it is true, the pho combo that we ordered. It did not have rau om and ngo gai? The broth is ok. Meat is ok. We agreed it is a 3and half star . Well not bad for trying out read more

it's been raining like crazy in OC so we were definitely craving some hot pho. this was one of the spots open late, no wait at around 9pm. i always get pho tai and a side of bo vien (beef balls). I love sipping on the pure broth of the bo vien (since my pho bowl is dressed with sriracha and hoisin), it is soooo good for the soul. we also asked for the white onions in vinegar, but i didn't know how to say it in vietnamese so i think that's why we didn't get it, but that's okay. soup was great, prices and size were great as well. read more

I craved pho last midnight and thank goodness Viet soups were looking down on me that night cause Pho 54 was open. And no, I did not have to come running cause they were closing in 30 minutes. They're open til 3. I don't know if this is unusual here but I live in West LA and these kinds of blessing just don't usually happen whenever you want to. I had meatball and brisket pho - my go to. It was toasty, my heart melted. There was so much meat in my bowl. It was both a blessing and a curse. I'm used to running out of meat before noodles but this time, I ran out of noodles. I was very happy about it. Curse, because you know, I'd rather eat less red meat but whatever. I'd say the actual broth was a little bland, but I drench mine in hoisin and sriracha anyways so those basked the flavor regardless. I think the best part of this whole thing was my gigantic "regular" bowl cost me $6.50. WHAT? Am I overreacting? Cause I'm not used to this kind of spoiling. The servers were all smiles at us all throughout. It was an overall good experience. Will definitely be back! read more

Decent spot to get a bowl of pho late at night. They're open until 3AM, which is fantastic for long nights of debauchery or sudden hunger pangs and fast food isn't enough to mitigate a hangover or satiate your stomach. The bowls are priced very fairly here, with a regular at $6 and a large for $7.50. If you're really hungry, there's an extra large option. The broth is flavorful but lacks the richness and depth that's found at other places. The broth comes with sliced green onions and scallions for extra flavor. If you want more flavor, you can ask for a bowl of fatty oil (nuoc beo). The noodles are very firm here, but that doesn't mean they're undercooked. Firmer noodles are generally better for slurping and they don't get soggy from the broth. All the meat options are available, and I recommend the tai (rare steak) and gau (fatty brisket). The tai is thinly sliced, flash cooked in broth and then added to your bowl to continue cooking as you eat. I find that it's flashed too long by the kitchen prior to service, so by the time you get it, it's overdone. The fatty brisket has a lot of flavor, which can be attributed to the copious amounts of fat that surrounds each piece. Each bowl comes with an extraordinary amount of meat, which is a very pleasant and welcome surprise. Although the portions are generous, the meat is still of above average quality; it's tender, flavorful and tastes fresh. The only disappointment is the veggies you get to compliment your pho. They're not the freshest around, and the leaves show signs of age. The colors aren't vibrant and the flavors are a bit muted. Bean sprouts can be cooked upon request. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the bowls come out really fast. Be advised that it's cash only, but there is an ATM inside should you happen to forget to have any cash on hand. read more

It was bland. The pho. Never again. Should have known. When entering the restaurant, there was no pho in the air. You can't hide good pho broth Just like you can't hide good BBQ scent. Smoke. All the pho meats were bland too. Broth was super bland and cloudy My pho got cold quick. Should be steaming hot. read more

Honestly worst flavorless pho ever tasted ! Service also sucked couldn't get a refill even though I was the only customer in there would not recommend. read more

Used to be our fav Vietnamese place for many many years. Even after covid it was still pretty good. Unfortunately now it's not even close to what it used to be. Service is just bad now (constantly getting wrong orders - how can you mess up "two 46s"???), food is 50% more expensive, but worse than ever before. Food isn't bad, just average. You can get the same average food anywhere. Place used to be packed, now it's not. That's all you need yo know. Giving three starts just because of nostalgia, but this is our last time here.

Phở 54 - Number 1 with everything. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I've never been the biggest Pho fan because generally when I do noodles, I am more of a ramen guy. With that being said, I finally got over it (that Pho is not supposed to be ramen or remotely taste close to it). I know... I know; it's sad. Anywho, I gave Pho a fair shake and I really enjoyed this place. (Not saying I didn't enjoy it before but I opened up my mind more this go around. Yes, I know guys... I've committed culinary sin. Please don't harm me but I've seen the light). Now that I have repented and committed to change, here we go! Stopped here around 1215am after the Saigon Night Market. (lol I know, I like to eat). So, this place is open until 3am and they are cash only. Parking was easy and it is hard to miss with the bright signage. Walked in and was seated right away. There was a decent amount of people here. So this could be a late night hang with good food. I sat down and I was given a menu and asked what I wanted to drink. Got my water and they were ready for my order. The guy pretty much ordered for me because there was a good amount of options and he pointed to one (pretty much like "get this one") and I just rolled with it. It was with rare steak and then I got a side of egg rolls. Shortly after, they brought my veggies, then my bowl and quickly after that... my egg rolls. I put my toppings in, tasted the broth and I was set. First taste of the broth was very good. Not heavy or bland. Pretty light with flavor. Added some sauce and it was off to the races. The bowl was flavorful and the noodles were cooked well. I would come back to this spot to try other variations even tho I didn't have anyone check on me during the meal. I'm pretty sure you would just have to flag them down. I hate to say it and I'm sure others would agree. When I come to Asian places, service isn't something that I expect to be spectacular. Be fairly pleasant, show respect; I show respect, bring me some food and we are good to go. Word to your mutha! read more

I saw this male employee cleaning tables wearing gloves then without changing gloves wiping spoons. In addition upon requesting for my check, they gave me the amount written in Vietnamese language, so I ask the male cashier for an itemized check and he got upset threw the receipt & pen to me... I n additionally I tried to get the attention of three waiters, they pretended or ignored me when requesting for hot water. Service is lousy! Will NEVER NEVER GO HERE EVER!!!!! read more
