#4 southern style
Vee P.

Service was so friendly and efficient! I came with my family and shared a bowl with my niece and the portion size was just right (for one person). The stacked bowls were interesting and everything was already separated and poured for you - but not quite the right ratios for me (not enough bean sprouts) and I like to mix my own sauce. It was cool that you can customize the pho exactly how you like it, noodle type/broth styles. The basil plant bottle was a nice touch. I got to try both broths and they were both ok but would not be the type of broth I would crave. Overall a good experience. Restaurant was clean and ample parking in a shared lot.

Walked in and got seated right away. My daughter strongly suggested I try the Northern style pho. It was def different. I did the build my own. Finished my whole bowl.

pho served with sauce on top, noodle soup right below. Nice presentation!

On a long roadtrip we really craved soup! So glad we found Pho Flavor, the broth was clean and flavorful met the craving exactly! The staff were super nice to us replenished our water bottles and very nice to small kids. The same owner is opening a chick pho next door, even though we are not close by we are definitely coming back.

Sauce at the top, bean sprouts in the middle, main bowl of noodles on the bottom

Nice modern pho restaurant with clean tables and nice service. They have the option of serving Northern vs. Southern style pho in unique stackable bowls. Each bowl provides a lot more protein/meat slices than traditional pho shops which serve more noodles, which is pretty worth for the price. Would definitely come back!

Inside

First time trying and now it's our favorite spot. Both styles are very good! Had the beef stir fry and then brisket + eyeround. The only thing is that other places have bigger portions. Service was great, our server was really nice and helped us choose. The inside is clean and the presentation of the dishes & the basil is very classy.

Got in fast, ordered and got food just as fast. Northern vs Southern, all good to me. Good pho is good pho. Typical restaurant, gets busy fast but doesn't deter service and quality. They gave us tamarind candy at the end of the night which was a nice after dinner sweet.

Pho Toppings - Come in a creative way over the bowl

Came here for a late bite after a pickleball session. Its got a cute little ambience and limited but efficient menu. I got the no.7 Pho , It was good. My biggest gripe about the experience was service. The lady was nice and courteous but the guy working here was always angry. When we entered , I asked him if I could sit on a different table than what was being assigned and the look he had on his face made me wonder if I shouldn't have asked for it. Later, I asked him if I could get a fork - he gave me a look and asked me to wait , took his own sweet time cleaning the next table and then gave the fork while I waited with my Pho next to me. Not sure if he was just having a bad day or if this is the level of service he dishes out to all customers. Overall - Good Pho , Not so Good Service !

Was in the area and friends wanted to meet up to grab a bite and this place popped up on my Yelp. The stellar reviewed drew my attention and decided to give this place a try. (Also the nice modern decor). There's ample parking in a huge plaza with lots of other popular choices as all the spots I saw had long lines. They serve both northern style and southern style pho and took me a long minute to figure out the difference and realized I'm used to the southern pho and decided to order #7 northern pho special with side order of oxtail and am so happy I decided to give it a try. For starters their pho felt more like art than food. The attention to detail from the bowl of pho on the bottom to the condiment plate connected on top to the sauce plate on the very top. Also this is the first pho place that has grass fed beef and their soup is amazing. I also ordered a side of oxtail which was pretty good. And because I had my toddler with me, she got a free kid bowl of pho. Overall: service amazing, pho amazing im a fan :) the service was really above and beyond. Oh one last amazing thing, you get to keep the sweet basil and the bottle that comes w it as your plant. They will even refill the bottle to your satisfaction. The person that opened this spot up really put a lot of thought into this. I'm impressed!

Northern pho
Nao I.

Had my doubts about an aesthetic social media vibe pho restaurant but it hits the spot! We had to try the northern style pho since they described it as having more of a spice flavor. I haven't tried their southern style to compare, but the broth is a deep and rich/spiced broth. I highly recommend the flat noodles since they're super soft and melts in your mouth. Meat is not fatty and is plentiful unlike some pho places and you won't be disappointed. We live near a couple of pho restaurants but will usually go out of our way to come to this one! Get some che a couple doors down for a complete meal :)

Jamie M.

They don't accept cash! This pho place is very good. I really enjoyed my pho. I got filet mignon, brisket, and tendon in my southern style broth pho. They offer northern style broth too, but I prefer the southern style since it's lighter and less fatty. The meat they use is very high quality. I liked how hot the broth was and how hot it stayed throughout my meal even after adding the fresh raw veggies. For $15, they surely packed a lot of meat in the pho. I will definitely return.

Terry M.

Came here with some pals for lunch, this was my first time, but they rated it highly - they weren't wrong! :) I'm all about the depth of flavor and notes when it comes to broth, and this place is doing it proper. They have a northern and a southern style, I tried the #7 [special north style pho with everything] with the thicker noodles and was not disappointed - great flavors, proper noodles, and plenty of meat and greens. The service was quick! We had our meals in front of us within minutes of sitting down, and as expected, our water cup was never empty. The place has a good amount of seating, which is good because they have a good amount of patrons there eating! That said, they were handling business like pros, things were moving quick and they keep the place clean. I'll certainly return, and I hope to see you there! :)

One of my favorite places to get pho in Garden Grove! It's always super clean and there's usually never a wait. If there is one, spots open up quickly. I decided to get the keto noodle this time and it was so yummy! They have a three stack tier bowl which makes everything look very organized and neat.

I think I just found my favorite pho place. I always go to phoholic and that is my go-to but this place just topped that for me. My friend ordered the northern dac biet and I got the southern style, and we ended up sharing and trying both. Honestly couldn't even pick a favorite because they were both incredible. The broth was sooo delicious and everything tastes so fresh. They have fresh basil that comes in a bottle that you can also take home. I fear I will always be craving pho after my experience here.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

I'm not sure if this location makes it differently, but the portions seemed much smaller. It still has that same signature chive and dipping sauce. Presentation was nice, taste is always good, but I couldn't get over the portion size. As for other items, we got to try the beef broth pho which was safe for my daughter to eat who has a gluten, soy, sesame allergy. According to the waiter, the rice noodles that are usually safe are cooked in the same water as the other non allergen friendly noodles. So we just ordered a side of rice instead. Shoutout to our server who was kind enough to help us. He went above and beyond. If we're ever in the area and needed a place for my daughter to eat on a whim, I've booked marked this spot for future reference. I probably need to try something else on the menu but the spring roll just didn't do it for me this time around. Nonetheless, the flavor was there and service was incredible.

I loved my garlic noodles with the giant prawns. I loved the shaking beef. I loved the chateaubriand. The main dishes just had everything going for them. The service was great. Our server was on the ball, taking our order, as huge as it was, with aplomb and efficiency. He brought drinks, gave suggestions, and was just super professional. The ambiance gave off special occasion and/or upscale dining. I especially loved our upstairs table in the elevated dining room. It felt like a VIP area. The whole restaurant had a noticeable class to it that's hard to pin down to just a few elements. I just knew this food joint would be awesome to be a regular at. Overall, our dinner was good and made for a good night out. I hope I get a chance to come back soon and get another shot at this menu.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
