Pho combo & smoothie
Jesus V.

Excellent customer service and delicious pho! The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the pho was absolutely delicious. Definitely a great spot--I'll be coming back!

I ordered a rib eye pho on 10/08/26 with extra meatball for an additional $5.50 and 1 Spring roll. No meatball included. Unable to contact the number 657-214-3888. Voicemail is full.

raw chicken from chicken Banh Mi Sandwich

I've had banh mi from here before, but I got chicken banh mi to-go this time. I bit into the sandwich and the chicken was completely raw. I microwaved the piece I bit into for 15 seconds and it turned white, indicating that it was raw. I haven't experienced this with their other sandwiches before.

And we are back, hubby wanted to give this spot another try..... I was disappointed.... service was not good. The server seems annoyed every time I asked for something like napkins and a fork??? My pho was good except it was barely warm just not my liking I have never had one like this before. Anyway, husband liked his.....luke warm.

Pho Alley in Cypress, California is a modern Vietnamese fusion restaurant that blends traditional flavors with a contemporary dining experience. The atmosphere is clean, bright, and stylish, making it a great spot for casual dinners, family outings, or date nights. I especially love the rich, slow-simmered bone broth and signature dishes like pho ribeye, American Wagyu with bone marrow, and oxtail pho, which are packed with deep, savory flavor. Their Vietnamese crispy crepes with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts add a crunchy, flavorful contrast. For lighter options, the salmon with white rice is simple yet satisfying. Popular drinks include the refreshing mango mama and the rich, creamy Vietnamese egg coffee. The quality, presentation, and overall experience make it well worth the drive.

Pho Ribeye (Tai)
Lisa Y.

I'm a big Banh Khot fan, so when I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to try them! Their Banh Khot Tom are Vietnamese mini savory pancakes with shrimp, and served with fresh herbs, lettuce on the side, and a dipping sauce. An order comes with nine of them. I really enjoyed them! Wrapping them in lettuce and herbs really brings a freshness to the dish. Great balance of textures and flavors. I also tried some of the Shaken Beef with Egg. The beef was tender and served with bell peppers. They also give a side of white rice with sunny side up egg. I would get this dish again! We enjoyed the first two dishes so much, we came back to try their pho. My go-to at any pho spot is Pho Ribeye (Tai) because I like the thin slices of meat. The meat and beef broth was good, however, their noodles were a bit hard and clumped together. This was still the case after sitting in the hot broth. I tried some of the House Special Combination with giant bone-in rib, ribeye, and brisket, and the noodles were the same in this dish as well. We were a little disappointed with their pho. I would come back again to see if maybe it was just an off day. Overall, despite the name being Pho Alley, we actually liked the other dishes more!

Banh Xeo
Novia E.

Their Banh Xeo is good! It's hard to find a good one at vietnamese restaurants and not all vietnamese restaurants serve this. Expect a longer wait, there was about 4 parties ahead of us but we ended up waiting for 30mins ish. Staff is nice and friendly , I'd come back to try their other dishes. It was a good dish if you want to have variety in your vietnamese food palette. They are clean and organized, staff informed me when my food was supposed to be out, which is nice.

Oxtail Pho
Ran C.

A friend not only endorsed Pho Alley, but took me here for lunch. I'm definitely trusting her as she's Vietnamese and she's never steered me wrong before. Her track record is still intact. Over in the plaza on the corner of Ball and Bloomfield, I'd say parking should be easy but I don't know how it is when business in the plaza is in full swing. Might have to walk a bit, unlike how we just pulled up right in front. We got there before the lunch rush so if you have or have had different experiences, guess I was just lucky. Service was pretty good considering other Pho places I've been to. It actually seemed like service as opposed to just taking your order and bringing out your food. The server refilled my water a few times and he checked in twice to see how we were doing. It wasn't very busy as it was pre-lunch rush but it was different. Nice even. And I enjoyed my Oxtail Pho. Enough that I said screw it and picked up the bones to gnaw every bit of meat clean off. The broth was tasty, not too sweet or rich. And the noodles were good too. Didn't order anything else but also glad we didn't. The serving size doesn't look huge but I left pretty full. I don't usually think of Pho when talking about Cypress but I would definitely visit pretty regularly if I lived closer.

New Vietnamese favor restaurant located at Cypress Orange County!! Very attractive Pho combination included juicy beef rib with bone in brisket n beef sliced!! Very tasty n delicious beef broth with freshly garish... Spring rolls is very tasty n delicious with freshly veggies shrimp with rice papers!!

beef skillet bo ne
Ansley T.

Long overdue review but.. a pho place that has bo ne and pho ap chao?? Sign me up! I have been here twice. Once last year, and just yesterday. My parents and friends were very satisfied with the food here! The inside of the restaurant is also so clean and aesthetic, and bathrooms were too which was nice. Service is fantastic and the pho makes for a very hearty and warm meal. My friends liked the pho house special and I love the bo ne and pho ribeye (tai). The wing and fries combo were also surprisingly delicious and crunchy with great flavor. My boyfriend really liked the chicken banh mi too. Both times I have come here have been for dinner. The first time was earlier in the evening and wasn't crowded at all. Last night my friends and I (a party of 5) arrived an hour before closing and it was surprisingly packed for a Thursday night, luckily there was a table left enough to seat all of us. I love that this place has such a huge Vietnamese menu and everything is good. I'll definitely be back!

Pho Brisket, Oxtail and Bone Marrow Fried Rice
Yena W.

This is such an unassuming restaurant that packs a punch. Everything tastes good, and I always waddle out completely stuffed with zero regrets of over ordering. The service is so fast and they're always so nice. As delicious as everything is, it's unthinkable to not order pho because I eat everything in that bowl that comes with generous portions of meat and broth that's suited to my taste palate. My other must order is the bone marrow fried rice that arrives to the table hot and sizzling in its stone bowl and my god my mouth is salivating at the memory as I write this review. It is a go to spot for me whenever I'm in the area, and it's never packed I don't understand why all the social girlies aren't drumming this place up because it definitely deserves more hype.

Fried pork belly
Valerie K.

This place is a hidden GEM. My husband and I ordered the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice along with fried salmon belly since we were extra hungry. Everything was amazing! The costs seemed very reasonable too considering how pricy oxtail can be. For all 3 dishes, we paid $50 total and the portions were very generous. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Inside
Millena P.

Surprisingly haven't had pho in a while, so I was excited to try this spot out. Parking: Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: Once I walked in, I was asked if I was ordering out or dining in. The cash register is towards the back. They have a large space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Love the interior and lights. It accommodates groups of all sizes. Service: There was one female server that assisted me. She was courteous and efficient. Throughput for food was quick; around 8 min after ordering. The drinks took a big longer for whatever reason. All the food came out before the drinks. Foods & drinks: 1. House Special Combination - This is one of their specialty pho that includes bone-in ribs, rib eye, and brisket in beef broth. There was a generous amount of meats. The noodles were cooked well. The broth might've contained way too much MSG because I was constantly drinking water. Other than that, the pho was enjoyable. 2. Banh Hoi Heo Quay - This dish was recommended to me because it's their newest dish. It has pork, noodles, vegetables and nuoc mam. The nuoc mam was delicious. The pork skin was crispppyyy, and they give you a lot of pork! The vegetables were fresh. The noodles were organized into cute rectangles. Since the lettuce was chopped, I took pieces of pork, wrapped it in the noodles, and topped it with vegetables instead. I also poured the nuoc mam over the noodles for more flavor. 3. Cajun Pork Jowl - These were seasoned well, but I also think there was too much MSG. The creamy sauce made it more flavorful. 4. Egg Coffee - Their coffee was strong. The egg cream was thick and sweet. The cream and coffee balanced each other well. 5. Tropical Twister - This smoothie contains strawberry, pineapple, and mango. Absolutely refreshing! Pricing: These prices are the new average prices for Viet food. I don't go out to eat Vietnamese food often because I grew up eating it. When I do though, I'm glad it's as enjoyable as this experience.

Do you offer military discounts?

They did not offer military discounts when we were there

Gluten free options?

Many things here are rice-based. I'm sure you can find a fair share of items that would qualify.

Do they use MSG in their pho?

Msg don't cause anything, its just in your head. Msg is an alternative to salt......

This looks really similar to both Vox kitchen, Sup noodlr bar and Nep Caffe is it from the same chef?

Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was great, clean and friendly. This is easily one of the best Thai restaurants I've tried. The flavors are bold, savory, and packed with umami. From the first bite, you get this delicious combination of tamarind and savory flavors that really stands out. What we ordered: * Pad Thai: By far my favorite. Easily one of the best Pad Thai dishes I've had--so flavorful and well-balanced. * Blue Crab Fried Rice: Great flavor and really enjoyable. * Pad See Ew: Good, especially if you're craving thick, chewy noodles, although it was a little on the salty side. * Tom Yum Chicken Wings: My least favorite. They were still tasty, but honestly tasted more like fried chicken with herbs and a side of sweet & sour sauce. I didn't really get any tom yum flavor, so the dish didn't quite live up to its name. Overall, everything was delicious aside from the wings not being what I expected. Definitely recommend giving Coconut Rabbit a try, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Good Thai Food, Service Could Be More Attentive…read more Visited: August 4, 2026 Location: Coconut Rabbit Thai Bistro, 4280 Katella Ave., Los Alamitos, CA 90720 We recently had dinner at Coconut Rabbit Thai Bistro and overall had a decent experience. The Pad Thai with chicken ($17) was one of the better dishes we tried--good flavor and nicely prepared. The cream cheese wontons ($11) were also very good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the coconut dumplings ($14), spicy edamame ($7), pineapple fried rice ($19), garlic pepper beef ($19), and pumpkin curry with shrimp ($22). Everything else was okay, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. We also had two Thai iced teas ($12 total). The biggest drawback was the service. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely not very attentive. We would have appreciated the server checking on the table more often, especially during the meal. Our total was $121 before tax, plus $11.19 tax, bringing the bill to $132.19 before tip. Overall, I'd give Coconut Rabbit 3.5 stars. The Pad Thai and cream cheese wontons were the standouts, while the rest of the food was average. With more attentive service and a little more consistency across the dishes, this could easily be a four-star experience.

We ended up getting Mango Grahams, Pancit, Siomai and Popcorn Chicken. Before we placed the order, it was communicated clearly from the staff that there would be a wait (there were 3 parties ahead of us, and one of them was huge, so we kinda expected a wait anyways.) We also weren't in a rush and were willing to wait regardless, so that didn't really bother us. The Mango Grahams were exactly and more than we expected; definitely satiated my cravings. The food was also good and arrived in a reasonable manner. Again, we only wanted to check this place out because of the Mango Grahams, but we were surprised at how many other options they had for desserts, appetizers, food, and drinks. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I wouldn't mind the distance knowing the quality and options they have. Also, I briefly looked into this place before driving here, and I was expecting like a quick "boba store" environment, but it also has a sit down ambiance. Great for quick hang outs with friends or sit down meals with your family. Also, I'm specifically writing this review because of the staff. Given how busy they were, I want to recognize how friendly and welcoming they were. There were lots of orders, but they came out in an understandable amount of time, and the person in the front always had a smile of her face.

Pineapple Fried Rice- Flavorful rice and the contrast of the pineapple pieces was bright and refreshing. They gave us a generous portion. Longanisa- This was served silog style with garlic rice and fried egg. Longanisa was sweet and meaty and paired well with rhe rice and egg. A breakfast classic you can eat any time of the day. Lumpia- This is always a favorite. Fried to perfection so you get a crisp exterior and a juicy interior. Paired well with sweet chili dipping sauce. Good experience but service could be improved.

I don't come to this location much because it's not as convenient for me, but I've noticed that it's not busy here at all. There was only one other table besides ours during peak lunch time 12:30 pm on a tuesday. That's the perk of it, but there are other small details I've noticed that are different from other locations, one of them being the thickness of the green onions. I usually love how thinly sliced they are at Mokkoji but this location has them very big, coarsely chopped. Also the toro we got today was very fatty, a plus for those who enjoy fatty meats. I prefer the flat iron more lately bc of how lean yet flavorful it is. I noticed there were multiple tv's on the wall so it's nice to have and watch any games going on if you happen to need to. anyways, ultimately, mokkoji is my fave shabu of all time and this location is closest to home (but still kinda far) when i'm at my bf's i go to the irvine location more ~ Wanted to give a shoutout to the friendly and helpful server Caitlyn who helped me refill my kale multiple times throughout the meal! loved her attitude :)

My go to order is to get a "special for 2" of their "share beef set" to share with my wife. She likes the Spicy Pork Broth and I like the Spicy Sukiyaki. It's Japanese spicy, so it's more flavorful than spicy. If you want real spice, then you could ask the server for extra spice and they'll use a medicine dropper to add a few drops of serious heat into your sauces. In our shared meal, we prefer their marinated "toro fatty belly" and it comes with a huge order of meat, 2 pints of draft beer, an appetizer, and ice cream ($87 for two persons). If you choose a nice, fatty cut, then you will be pretty satisfied with the meat quality. My reasoning for this being 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that if you were to choose the wrong type of meat or if you don't order enough meat, then your experience will likely be suboptimal. Apparently, you can get refills on the veggies, so I'll try to ask for that next time! What I love about Mokkoji, however, is that the quality and value that I get with the special is ample for two and it's delicious!
