Food is great, the broth is super flavorful. The only thing is that this location is located in an odd neighborhood and the ventilation is really bad. The first thing you smell is old oil. We tried to order egg rolls as an appetizer but they were sold out. We came in half hour after they opened so I thought that was odd. My sister can't have rice noodles and typically pho places are able to substitute it with egg noodle but they sold out of egg noodles as well. Overall, their pho is good but we will not be coming back to this location. There's another location in Garden Grove area that is better. The only reason why we came to this one is because on Yelp, it's showed that this location is permanently closed. But, we drove by and we see people dinning in. I will definitely go back to the Garden Grove location the next time I'm in the area.

Rare steak pho
Vanessa R.

Delicious but worth $18 for a bowl of pho? I do appreciate a clean and bright restaurant but the sauce bottles were sticky. The strangest part was when the owner made a 15min phone call on full blast speaker for everyone to hear. After that experience, I am Surprised by the rave reviews. I doubt I'll come back.

Pho Akaushi Combo and crispy egg rolls and side of ketchup for the fries
Patricia L.

It's like going over to the house of the token family chef without an invite but it's worth the risk for that soul saving Pho soup and yes, it's really all Wagyu!! Pho Akaushi Combo 10/10 ~$18 -first timer so gotta get the combo to try it all but I fear that after indulging, the combo is all I'll ever try bc it's all I'll ever need -meatballs and tender cubes, lean slices, fatty pieces of WAGYU swimming in a succulently supple broth with ribbons of bouncy noodles customized to ur preference of limey, tangy, spicy, hint of hoisin sweetness and bites of crunchy bean sprouts and fresh minty and leafy veggies -they've mastered the slowly simmered savory yet clean and slurpable broth and the offering of Wagyu only is delectable and elegant Spring rolls 8/10 -classic can't go wrong maybe I just prefer a bit more fish sauce in the meat -the crunch is loud and + for the bright fish sauce that comes w it The food is delightful but so is the service and the people. Came in with w my brother and parents and left with full bellies and full hearts thanks to Tom and crew. Thanks for the lunch time smiles and stories - we will travel from the valley for good food and even better business/people any time!

Combo

I'm used to traditional broths for pho, but Pho Akaushi's Wagyu is a game changer! The Wagyu does so much to the pho's flavor. It adds more of a umami flavor to the broth which is savory and sweet. It's something I'm not used to but was really delicious. The Wagyu itself was sooo good! The cuts of meat were tender and melted in my mouth. They give you a solid amount of meat, but I still should've ordered extra Wagyu, it's amazing. Service was nice too, the owner came up to me and chatted with me a bit, even offering a sample of some coffee he'd been working on. The people here seem very sweet and hard working - they definitely deserve your business!

Wagyu Beef Fried Rice was excellent!!!
Charles W.

Tampa family exploring Santa Ana and we stumbled across this gem. If you're looking for a quaint setting with big flavors this is the place!!! Eggrolls were spot on like there's a Vietnamese grandma in the back rolling them. So delicious!! Our party of 4 were sat immediately and food came out promptly service was perfect. We had the combination pho the brisket pho and the wagyu fried rice everything exceeded our expectations. Delicious flavors across the board!!

#1 combination pho
Nina D.

As an immigrated Vietnamese, it's hard to find a good pho place here but I'm glad I have discovered this place where the broth is very similar to my home country. The broth is packed with flavors. Meat was soft and tender. I also ordered fried rice and it tasted exactly like how my dad makes it. So glad this place is close to where I live. Good food and super friendly customer service. But it breaks my heart to see a good pho place is empty on a Saturday night. Please come support this sweet old couple if you guys ever want to try some good pho. A side note is that they are open, but it might be hard to find their location since their restaurant's name isn't light up for some reasons. But they are right next to Khaosan Thai.

Pho Dac Biet Wagyu
Johnny B.

Really glad I stopped by this shop. The interior was nice and cozy. All the tables and utensils were clean. The service was exceptional in regard to how pleasant and quick it was to order and receive my food in a timely manner. The broth was really good and fatty. It's because of the wagyu beef they're using. I'm usually not into wagyu gimmicks but this restaurant made sure the Wagyu was properly used in their dishes and not just as some flashy name to upscale their prices. The restroom they have for customers was very clean as well. Everything was fully stocked. Soap, toilet paper, towels. I bet if I took some home with me, they wouldn't notice. The owner Tom was great at checking in with his diners and treating them like friends and family.

Salad with Wagyu steak
Julie L.

First of all do your Yelp check-in to get a discount on combo pho which was delicious. The broth was probably one of the best we have had. Note to self do not come to a pho place and order a salad. The warm steak on top of the salad just wilted the salad ~ steak was tasty but would definitely pass on this dish. Also my salad arrived when everyone was almost done eating their pho. I would have taken a pic of the pho but my son finished the bowl !

Words cannot describe how delicious the pho at Pho Akaushi is. The meat that they use is so tender and you can tell they take great care in the quality of the meat! On top of delicious pho, the service is great! The owners are so kind! I will definitely be returning for more pho!

Maria V.

This little hole in the wall did not disappoint. Had the #1 Combo best quality meat of any Pho place for sure. Large portions. Service is fast and friendly. Every is clean but nothing special for the atmosphere but who cares when you're getting great food. I've Coffee was rich and delicious.

Pho Akaushi Combo...tender meat, flavorful broth
Vy N.

Please come to pho Akashi. The food is so delicious and good. It's real Vietnamese food. They only use Wagyu beef. Thank you so much! They have good service. And it feels really comfortable.Thank you!

Rare beef pho and beef cube pho
Carlos G.

What a find! The beef was so tender and flavorful: I got the beef cubes which is actually succulent beef on bone and it falls off like butter. Staff was super attentive and friendly. Water was jasmine - infused which made my daughter happy. Broth was first - class. They use wagyu beef for their soups and the flavor shows it. Wait time was short. Will go again!

Pho Akaushi Special
Kinh V.

Friday night, and it is cold outside. What a special treat for me to enjoy a hot savory bowl of pho. Good consistent flavorful broth, well-balanced season and not salty at all. Also ordered 3 bowls to go as a special TGIF treat for my wife and family.

Hi, I grew up in LF and have been to the two prior pho restaurants. How long have you been opened? How is it that you have so many reviews in less than 1-year? Even more than other restaurants that's been opened for +5-years. Curious, but will try.

They are assertive in their hospitality. Owner makes it a point to greet and talk with customers as they wait for their food. At one sitting and chat session with the owner, you can learn many things. What I learned: where he gets his beef and a… Read more

Is this restaurant still open? I only see hours open on Sunday

Yes, we will be open tomorrow, regular hr = 10:30-8:00 pm

Do you have veggie broth?

You don't go to Pho Akaushi for veggie broth, Bea K! Come here for the best, richest pho in OC! I'll never go to another Pho restaurant in OC, I have, and they all disappoint now!

What is your signature dish (or dishes)?

UPDATE: Thank you - EVERYONE for the answers. Sounds like a great shop to visit!…

Yes, they do and require masks until sat at your table for guests.

Do they do delivery?

We will have uber eats, doordash and grubhub in two weeks.

Is this location open yet?

Open and ready to serve!

I had barely sat down before a waiter rushed over asking what I wanted. I told him I had just sat down and hadn't even opened the menu yet. He rolled his eyes and walked away. I kid you not....about 30 seconds later, another waiter came rushing over asking the same question. I felt rushed and annoyed at the same time. What's going on here? To be fair, I grew up eating here and have returned about three times as an adult. Unfortunately, each visit has been worse than the last. The restaurant seems to have no motivation to improve. The place feels dirty, the food is mediocre, and the customer service is pretty terrible.

Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo. It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen.
