    Pho
    Claudia D.

    I've been coming here for quite a while. I come with coworkers for lunch now and again. I have not been lately since the re-opening but I am itching to go. We always had great service and no wait even though it was lunch rush. Food was always tasty quick and affordable.

    This was yummy authentic tasting food! Came on a whim last minute into the night. The staff was attentive, maybe even too much, but we did stay too late past closing. So now they were wanting to go home but I eat slow. A little rushed at the end but understandable. For our first time here, the food was quickly served. The meat in the pho was slightly chewy, but nice it finished cooking as it was served, broth was done well & good amount of noodles. loved all the appetizers we got as well. I'll have to come back when not as rushed to see the food and ambiance a bit better.

    Overdue review. I brought a co-worker here to celebrate her birthday. She was in the mood for Vietnamese food so it was nice to visit this place nearby. I think I've only eaten pho noodle soup from here. I decided to go with the vermicelli rice noodles with grilled pork. Our dishes all came out rather quickly which was perfect for us. I was very happy I chose this dish because it ended up being very good and comparable to other restaurants or even better than some places in Westminster or Garden Grove. Staff were accommodating and friendly as usual.

    Delicious pho! They also have veggie pho in veggie broth that's a rare find as well. So many new items on their newly published 12/2025 menu! So glad to have this location close to my parents place. It also looks like they recently renovated. Service is fast and friendly. Hope they stay in business for a long time!

    HI ..

    Delicious food, many to choose from, clean place and great customer service. The location is next to Stater's Brothers by Red Hill.

    Pay with CA$H and you get discount for total bill. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I walked in and was able to sit down immediately - no wait at all. They have a big room next to the front receptionist area so just walk over - more privacy as well. Staff was attentive whenever I need something or have questions. Steak Pho - No ngo gai or green lime but it was still good. Could use more meats though. The broth was quite good and you can taste the Pho flavor. It came out pretty quick. Lots of customer order Pho tonight. Value platter was ok. I wanted to try it but if you like certain Pho or Rice plate, I would just order those. Next time, I'll probably stick to white rice. The flavor rice was not my preferred taste. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio was good as well. Meats were well marinated, perfectly grilled and tender. Sauce was right on - not too salty or too light. Same as the Rice Plate - good. The flavor here defintely has that touch of authentic Vietnamese food and we don't have to drive all the way to Bolsa. Prices were reasonable. Parking - plenty in the front.

    Good service, pretty large restaurant! Nothing fancy inside but good for satisfying a viet food craving without having to go all the way to Little Saigon. My friend got pho and I did a vermicelli noodle. I did feel like maybe it was a little light on meat but in the end, it was enough though! Easy parking and they take credit card too.

    I had been craving pho so I asked a good friend of mine for some recommendations and she said this place was good and close to where I live. I came here on a Tuesday night around 8 not realizing they close at 8:30 but I was promptly seated and served. I enjoyed the food and the service was great.

I didn't wanna order anything too heavy, but I craving something savory, so I opt'd for the Xoi Man. I loved the combo of sticky rice, quail egg, pâté, pork roll, Chinese sausage, pork floss, and peanuts. It always just hits right and leaves you satisfied. I also ALWAYS have to order the coconut ube coffee. It's to die for! It's the perfect blend of Viet milk coffee with coconut cream, & ube cream. YUMS!!! My friend ordered the Rice Bowl w/ crispy pork belly. I've never personally tried this dish, but it looked deelish w/ the fried egg, pickled vegetables, mango, jasmine rice, and nước chấm (fish sauce). She paired her brunch with the calamansi white peach, which she said was refreshing. James, our server, was friendly & attentive. Nep is always consistent & satisfying. Definitely an RxFoodie recommendation if you're looking for a solid brunch hotspot!

The spring rolls tasted so nostalgic to me, and the egg rolls were perfectly crispy. It was the best of both worlds! For our main entrees, we ordered the Brisket Pho and Stir-Fried Garlic Beef Tenderloin Vermicelli. The pho broth was clean yet deep and flavorful, and they gave a generous amount of brisket. The Stir-Fried Garlic Beef Tenderloin was a standout--the beef was flavorful, tender, and juicy. Because I wanted to try their garlic rice, I ordered a side, and it ended up being one of the best garlic rices I've ever had! It was packed with garlicky flavor, reasonably priced, and they give you such a generous portion. Definitely worth adding to your order! Service was also great. The staff seated us quickly and was very responsive whenever we needed anything. From the appetizers to the pho, vermicelli, and especially that garlic rice, everything hit the spot. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the Irvine area!

    Four of us went to SUP Noodle Bar in Irvine on a Tuesday evening. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and…read moremanaged to snag the last available table without a wait. Judging by how quickly the place filled up, coming much later would probably have been a different story. The Food Between the four of us, we ordered the Parmesan Fries, two variations of pho, the Filet Mignon Fried Rice, and the Cajun Garlic Noodles. The Parmesan Fries were a very generous portion, exceptionally crispy, beautifully seasoned, and--in terms of flavor--just about perfect. My only complaint was that they were noticeably oily. Other than that, I couldn't find much fault with them. The Filet Mignon Pho was a treat. The beef was exactly as promised: tender and flavorful. What surprised me was the distinct kiss of cinnamon in the broth. Personally, I would have preferred to suspect the cinnamon rather than clearly taste it, but that's entirely a matter of preference. My wife loved every bite. I also managed to steal a taste of the Filet Mignon Fried Rice. While I certainly didn't regret my own order, I immediately knew what I'll be having next time. The filet was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the rice had a beautifully rounded, savory flavor. A real winner. My Cajun Garlic Noodles were excellent. The sauce had just the right consistency--rich and creamy, yet still delicate enough that the garlic and seasoning weren't buried underneath it. It was certainly on the heavier side, but somehow managed not to leave me feeling weighed down afterward. Rich without becoming exhausting is not an easy balance to strike. The Atmosphere SUP has a modern, distinctly Asian noodle-bar feel. Hard surfaces, no carpeting, and very little acoustic dampening mean that, in polite restaurant language, the atmosphere is lively. In less polite restaurant language: it's loud. That didn't bother us, and it actually suited the casual, energetic atmosphere. But I probably wouldn't choose SUP for a quiet, intimate dinner--or for hearing a lengthy story in which every single word matters. The Service This was the standout. We were not the world's easiest table. Between four first-time customers, individual likes and dislikes, questions about the menu, and various dietary requirements, we gave our waiter plenty to work with. Chase was patient throughout. He explained things, repeated things when necessary, answered our questions, and helped guide each of us toward something that suited us. By the end of dinner, all four of us were convinced we'd ordered the right thing. I'm fairly difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant service, but Chase impressed me. This isn't fine dining, nor should it be judged as such. What stood out was something much simpler: at every opportunity, Chase did a little more than was required of him. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and patient without ever making us feel that we were being difficult. That deserves recognition. The Bottom Line We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and our evening at SUP Noodle Bar. The food was flavorful and well prepared, portions were generous, and the service--particularly from Chase--was exceptional. The only caveat I would mention is the noise level, and that certainly won't stop me from returning. In fact, I already know what I'm ordering next time: That Filet Mignon Fried Rice. --- And Then, Two Days Later... Well, that didn't take long. Two days after writing this review, I was back. My daughter ordered the Filet Mignon Fried Rice I'd been planning to have, so, in the interest of not ordering the same thing, I changed course and ordered the Pho Anthony Bourdain. An instant classic. Absolutely delicious--and now I have a new problem: too many great things to choose from. You won't hear me complain. That's a pretty good problem to have.
