It was cold day and also my husband's stomach was upset. So I looked for something gentle for dinner. Here I found one of my favorite meal Pho! This place is face to Main St. and there are street parking and garage parking front and nearby. The restaurant is cozy (little tight between table and bench chair for my husband LOl!) but feels clean. Menu has not only Vietnamese but also Chinese dishes. The service is simple and nice. We ordered combination pho and came shortly. Soup is good flavor, we had to loosen the rice noodles bit but cooked ok. Only one thing, I'd like to say I needed to mini dish to mix up hot sauces inside. I don't like to put hot sauces directly and at home we always use(usually set up on the table) small dish for the hot sauces. But overall, we enjoyed pho at Pho Bulous!! read more

Dog friendly pho restaurant! 90 minute free parking in the structure. They have a tiny area outside to sit with your dog. Food taste a lot better than it looks. Pork vermicelli bowl: Pork is good, super tender and fragrant. I wish they gave more meat. The portion size is pretty good. Lomo saltado: The steak was a bit tough but the noodles were so good. Perfect amount of garlic flavor and not too greasy. Service: Was ok ... nothing exciting. Dine in and spend $20+ and get a free Thai tea or soda. Also note: If you sit outside, there is quite a lot of air pollution. People were smoking and cars emit pollution. read more

This is a place to come and warm up or fuel up! Grab it to go or dine in. The best part, there's two hours free parking and the structure which can be hard to find at the beach!!!! From the grilled pork spring rolls to the spicy handmade wontons, every bite was packed with flavor. The rare beef & brisket pho was everything I hoped for: cozy, rich, and full of soul. The house garlic noodles were garlicky with a bold Vietnamese twist Also, the lemongrass grilled short ribs? Literally the size of my face! I rounded out the feast with a creamy Thai iced tea and strong Vietnamese coffee, because no meal's complete without something sweet and bold to sip on. Service was quick, helpful and kind. read more

Solid option for Vietnamese food in downtown HB. It doesn't tend to be extremely busy, but there is still a noticeable crowd, indicating it's a solid turnout. I had a combo pho and special Bahn Mi. The portions and flavors were not special, but they were good for the craving and to fill up. read more

There is only ONE spot in Huntington Beach for unique Vietnamese food and it's Pho Bulous! Really friendly staff and owners; the service is impeccable and the food is very unique and well-prepared. I had the shrimp spring rolls and the House Special Lomo Saltado: a Peruvian fusion dish I have only ever tried here. The portions are generous and there is always food to take home. An excellent local find! Easily accessible to the Huntington Beach Pier just a stone's throw from coffee, bars, and one-of-a-kind stores on Main Street... and they've even got beer on deck! Give this place a try! read more

Pho Bulous - The usual accompaniments of pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

LOVE LOVE! Was so excited to see a Pho place on main street. Me and my boyfriend were so hungry after so drinks and Pho never disappoints. The pho sobered us right up ! We ordered Pho Rare Beef, Thai Iced Tea, and popcorn chicken. Service: Self seating. The only item that took long to come out was the popcorn chicken. They make it fresh and it tasted very well. I just wish it would have arrived sooner because we didn't get it till we were all done with our pho and had to sit there for 10 more minutes. It was worth the wait though. Ambiance : I'm not sure if the women there is the owner/manager but she was so nice. She was talking to all the customers and I overheard her say they have been open for 7 months. Im glad to see something new down on main street and I hope for the best of this restaurant! read more

Decided to go for Pho today in downtown Huntington Beach and this is a new restaurant in town that I thought I'd try. Got in there a little bit before six and it was pretty empty and I decided to go with the chicken pho based on the pictures I had seen for some of the steak ones which looks like I have a little too much fat. My order was taken promptly and served to me in about 10 min. Is there a small little restaurant but you can tell it's well decorated. Overall, I thought the pho was pretty good, I've eaten the same dish at many places, and I had no complaints, the chicken was shredded and good quality, the broth was good and there was ample amount of meat and noodles. If anything, I would hope that they would give you some more sides to put into the fall, but I'm sure that if I requested it they would've read more

My girlfriend, toddler and I stumbled upon this eatery after exploring Huntington Beach. We were quick to be greeted, and service was quick to take our orders. I ordered the Pho Combination and she ordered the Vermicelli with grilled beef, and we ordered one Thai tea to share. The gentleman who served us opted to not write anything down. By the time both our dishes came out, the Thai tea still was not at our table. I flagged down our server and he quickly brought it out. I don't imagine it should take longer to prepare than to cook two dishes, so I presume it was forgotten about until I gently reminded. That was the only con. Otherwise, I felt the flavor of the meal was authentic, and the price and portion size were fair for Huntington Beach. I'd come eat here again we were in the area. 4/5 Stars. read more

Best Vietnamese food in Huntington Beach by far. The server was friendly and attentive, the place was clean, and I highly recommend it.

My boyfriend and I came here for an early dinner after the Pacific Airshow. We ordered the rare beef and brisket pho. There was only one size and it was a pretty descent size bowl. I'm pretty particular with my Pho because I have my favorite spots that I go to and it's hard to compare to those places but I decided to give this place a try. Location is clean and organized. Pho Bulous was ok, the broth to me lacked the authentic Pho smell and it was good but not great. They used the right Pho noodles which are the thin strands which I like. The meat was ok, portion size was descent. The accompaniments which were your typical bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and jalapeño slices were fresh but for two people I would say it was on the frugal side. We only got one plate of accompaniments for the two pho bowls. Service was good, everyone was nice and helpful. read more

Tucked away in Downtown HB, this spot is serving up seriously solid Vietnamese food--perfect for that post-surf recharge. We got: * Pho Short Ribs (8/10)- Two massive, tender ribs in a super clean and flavorful broth. Comfort in a bowl. * Pad Thai w/ Chicken (7/10) - A nice switch-up if you're craving noodles with a little sweetness and tang. * Fresh Coconut (10/10) - So refreshing and perfect to give you that tropical reset after the beach. * Thai Tea (7/10) - Strong, creamy, just the right amount of sweet. * Spicy Wontons (8/10) - Not too spicy, not too greasy--just well-balanced and seasoned right. * Grilled Pork Spring Rolls (10/10)- Fresh, light, and packed with flavor. That dipping sauce? Chef's kiss. Whether you're sandy, sun-kissed, or just hungry, this spot hits the mark. read more

Decent bowl of Pho, broth had good flavor before adding all of the fixings. Service wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. A smile and a greeting probably would have changed my initial impression. read more

The staff/owner was so sweet, it was one of their birthdays, but she made sure we felt at home. She had her family there and they gave our boy extra love Food was amazing. The beef was so tender and the broth was flavorful. Popcorn chicken could scale back on time in the fryer but all in all the flavors were great! Clean and inviting space too. Will be back soon. read more

The wife and I had lunch at Pho Bulous today. As neither of us had ever had Pho before and we hadn't been down town Huntington Beach in a little while, we thought today would be a good chance to do it. Pho Bulous as a nice small restaurant with in-door and limited out-door seating. It is quit pleasant and the single server was friendly and attentive, without be over-bearing. We told her we were newbees and she explained the items on the menu, simply. We both had PHO with beef. I have nothing to compare it to other than to say the bowl was larger, filled to the brim and very yummy. Not fond of the Vietnamese ice tea, but is more a matter of taste. read more

Amazing Pho. I had the Pho rare ribeye soup. Meat and broth are spot on. Wife had Chicken Pad Thai and Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls that she loved. Service was fast and very courteous. Will come back again. read more

This place really took me by surprise. It's so good! I didn't expect since it's right on Main st and seemed touristy but was delicious

Stopped in on a lazy Sunday. Attentive server seated me in the front, which was a great spot to relax and unwind, while people watching. Started off with an amazing Vietnamese Iced coffee. What a real treat - you can really taste the high quality coffee. Followed by a pork Banh Mi sandwich, which was very tasty, and served on a crispy bun. I went with the rare steak, and slow roasted brisket pho. Amazing classic broth and the brisket was so tender and flavorful. Definitely coming back. read more

The dishes were all delicious. The menu is somewhat all over the place, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai even Peruvian.. So if your looking for any of these bites, I'd say it's a nice place to stop.

The Thai iced tea was sweet, but definitely delicious. read more

Absolutely loved Pho Bulous in Huntington Beach! The pho was incredibly flavorful with rich, aromatic broth and perfectly cooked noodles. Fresh ingredients, fast service, and a super clean, cozy vibe. Definitely one of the best Vietnamese spots I've tried--can't wait to go back! read more

First time ever having Pho. So I have neither anything to compare to, not sure how it's supposed to taste, and as I understand it there are many additions one can add to the broth...so clueless. With that as a backdrop... We were the only ones in the restaurant, although a few walk ins and one additional party eventually came in. So not busy. Service started off nice...good personality, attentive (but then, we were the only table!)...dropped off after that when, ironically, it appeared an owner walked in that became the server's distraction. But that isn't the reason for the 3. Got the Combo and while the chicken was good, and the brisket okay...the meatballs were odd. I honestly couldn't even identify the meat. I took the (very ample portioned) leftovers home and strained the broth and noodles, and tossed the meat out, as those were good. My main recommendation is to give novices a tour on what to do to customize the bowl. That would not only enhance the flavors but the experience itself. read more

I went to this location a few weeks ago and loved the food that I tried. So much so that we went back today for a takeout order to grab the garlic fried rice (which was previously amazing and had a lot of flavor) and the vermicelli. After getting back home, we immediately noticed that the fried rice had no flavor at all. It tasted immensely different from the first time and the rice tasted old, so we couldn't eat that. Next we opened the vermicelli which comes with fish sauce. The sauce container was not even a quarter full (so either it had leaked before getting put in the box or they just don't fill the containers at all). Without the fish sauce, the vermicelli and tofu had no flavor as well. Again, not edible. This was frustrating because this dish was much more expensive. Remembering the first time that we came into the restaurant and how good the food was made me feel that this had to be a new chef and that it was a one-off mistake. I called the restaurant to explain the situation and ask for a partial refund for the vermicelli at least. The girl who answered explained that there hasn't been any change to the cooks who make it and (after calling the manager) that there was no refund they can give. At most, I could "go back and pick up more sauce" even though "they gave me the standard amount they usually give." No manager was on site for me to talk to, and I was too far away to drive back down there. As a customer who really enjoyed the food the first time and was willing to go back again in the future because I thought this was just a mistake, I thought they would be more accommodating. 1 star for the inconsistency in their dishes and the poor customer service. read more

I want to give this place 4 starts so bad.... I didnt based on inconsistentcy. I love pho. I like this place as the broth is very good. It's flavorful and had a lightness to it. . The problem is sometimes it's excellent and sometimes there's hardly any meat. My son's had the same feedback regarding the banh mi. It makes me wonder if different cooks are in the kitchen etc. But overall I like it and when I don't feel like driving to Westminster to my regular spot, I will come back here. The owners are very nice and I'm happy to see good pho in HB finally. read more

This is the best pho that I have had. Very flavorful & good portion size. One thing I do have to say IF YOU ARE IN A RUSH THIS IA NOT THE PLACE They were not busy but we ended up getting our appetizer last lol didn't really bother us because we were enjoying downtown & we are local so we didn't mind the wait or order of the food Even with this small set back on the wait times I wouldn't change my 5 star and have been back a few times since. read more

This pho place is FABULOUS! Pho after a hot trek down on the beach just hits a special spot. There's nothing like it! Service is amazing, our server was very friendly and informative. 5/5 would recommend! We had Pho Fillet, popcorn chicken (no spice) for the kids, and the sizziling steak and eggs. Pho is amazing for all occassions but after a hot day at the beach, it was to die for. The VN sizzling steak is a must try! If you have never had it before, or haven't had it since that long ago VN trip, this will bring you back. The flavorful steak and baguette is an exquisite combination. The popcorn chicken? My terrible 2's who lives on air and sunshine ate most of it, so we might have to come back everyday, who knows! read more

This place is the bomb! First off, all the staff is super welcoming and very attentive. Restaurant is located across the street from Huntington Beach Pier, can't miss it with the banner promoting free Thai tea! But.. let's get to the food. Everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered a bunch of different dishes and we were blown away by all of them. The fried rice came in a generous portion and was full of so much flavor, not to mention they are not stingy on the proteins! The pho came out super hot and the broth was one of the best I've ever had. The prices are super affordable, I was actually surprised as I thought it would be higher due to the location! I will make sure to visit again when I am in town!! read more

Super happy that there's an authentic viet restaurant here on Main Street finally! I came in for dinner time and was very pleased with the attentive service and great quality of food. So many option to choose from but I settled on the Filet Mignon Shaken Beef and my boyfriend got the Pho combination. We shared some shrimp spring rolls and I really liked the dipping sauce! The filet mignon was well seasoned and extremely tender. I really enjoyed this dish and am salivating thinking about it now hahaha. My boyfriend enjoyed his pho too and said the broth was very clean and flavorful. The meat inside the pho was also very tender. Perfect for a hangover. Overall, I'd recommend all these dishes and the restaurant. Super authentic place and really new. I hope they're here to stay! read more

My sister got the House Special Lomo Saltado, she loves it so much that she had to order another one for togo. The portions here are so big and we were so full after lunch.
