It's great that they are open late. I ordered the #4 which has the tendon, tripe, beef etc. All the meat was tender. Even the tendon was soft and cooked to my preference/liking. They do not skimp on the meat in your pho. The broth was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet. Not overpowering on the spices. I also like how they have the pickled garlic in jars on the table. The accompaniments aren't a staple that you see at every pho spot. You can choose to have fresh noodle to your pho for an extra dollar. It's worth it to add.

I should have knew it was a hole in the wall when my husband warned me of the location. We ordered really simple entrees that were just absolutely trash. Save your money, try another Pho restaurant because this was enough to make me never want to eat this cuisine again.

Brisket Pho Bo Vien

I am home sick today from work feeling like I have a bad cold and I always like to eat Pho when I'm sick. I ordered the brisket and the broth was so tasty and everything was fresh will definitely order from here again. I haven't ordered from any Pho places yet since I just moved back to Southern California but would definitely recommend!!

One of my favorite pho spots in Orange County. I absolutely love their pho ga (chicken pho) and pho gau (fatty brisket). Their broth is so flavorful and pho quality is perfect. I can be pretty picky with pho ga bc I tend to like ga di bo more and I'm so happy this place does that. (If you know, you know). The restaurant is in a small strip and they also open late night!!! I'm surprised that every time I come here it doesn't seem busy at all for the quality of pho you get here. But maybe that's what makes this place so perfect and a hidden gem for pho enthusiasts. Service is always great and attentive even when it's just one person working sometimes. Love this pho spot and always a returning customer!

This is a "3XL". It's just a regular with an extra half-order of noodles.

Liars and skimpers. They are charging $6 for the 3XL version. All you get is a half-order of extra noodles. They still only gave 3 slices of brisket. They still skimped on the soup; container was filled up to maybe 70%.

Do you have a late night craving for some Pho? I did, and this is where we went. Small business feeling, with great customer service and speedy delivery to my table. Definitely recommend coming here. Everything I ordered tasted fresh, authentic and home made.

Came in with my family to enjoy some pho. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! We also loved watching the videos showing how the dishes are made.

#9 and don't forget that pickled garlic! Yummy!
Janee' S.

This is my first time coming to this place and when I say delicious, I mean it. We got the beef pho ( #9) , the chicken pho and a small side of rice and chicken for the little one. They also had eggrolls, which were delicious a must when you go there. The Thai tea was very delicious. Also, the sparkling lemonade was very refreshing. They also have a bunch of condiments on the side that you can add to your bowl, but when I tell you, you don't need it you don't lol. The broth was beyond delicious and flavorful for both items. They have pickled garlic, which was so good. I actually was eating it just by itself. The service was fast and nice. The inside gave you a very mom and Pop vibes which I loved. On the weekends, they stay open to midnight so it's a perfect go to spot if you're looking for some comfort food at a late hour. Definitely will recommend this to other people and definitely will be back.

Been coming here when it was Pho 86 The meatballs are always the highlight of the meal. Plenty of protein packed in a medium sized bowl. Definitely good place for soup and without the long lines .

We love it here ! The nature sounds made the ambiance feel warm and comfortable ! Kelly was amazing ! Very alert and friendly! She made us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was very kind to our toddler Food was beyond delicious ! Portions were great ! We had extra to take home ! The broth is rich and savory!! Plus the fact they are open late night makes it even better

Phở gà
Linda V.

Came here for dinner on a weekday with my son. He ordered the vegetarian phở and I ordered chicken with the glass noodles to have something different. Phở was good and our server was nice but after bringing the food she never once came to our table. We were the only ones sitting in there. Basically if I wanted more water or something I'd have it get up and ask. I guess. Other than that it was fine but I'd might as well get take out and bring it home.

They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

Welcome to Day 2 of OC Food Journals, where I try a new place every day so you don't have to…read more Today's stop was Loi's Kitchen, and honestly, this review is a little overdue. I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

This review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
