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.

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?

Today I dined in here for the first time and I'd concur what some of the other reviews said - the tables and floor need cleaning. I think the problem is that there is only one person who handles ordering, cooking, and packaging to-go's most of the time. Therefore, it's not hard to understand why the tables are left uncleaned and I didn't dear to check the restroom. A strong recommendation for the owner/manager of this location - hire more staff so the store can be properly cleaned and be more welcoming - you will see business grew more and more customers would be willing to dine in.

The shrimp wontons, chicken and corn potstickers, and the pork chops were perfect for the occasion. I went onto exercise with my dogs for close to 6 miles today without feeling any discomfort. The order was placed online and became available in less than 5 minutes. Parking is free and easily found right in front of the store. The bathroom isn't the cleanest but available for customers to use. I wouldn't mind stopping by for a quick bite again in the future.

Food: We ordered the Galbi-Tang and Sul-Long-Tang, and our food came out pretty quickly. Both soups were really flavorful and comforting, and the broth was definitely the most memorable part of the meal. The banchan on the side was a little weaker compared to some other Korean spots I've been to, but the soups more than made up for it. Parking: They have their own parking lot, which made parking easy when we visited. I really enjoyed the food here and would definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a comforting bowl of soup.

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.
