Had brunch plans in Brea and was craving Asian food, so we found Pho Ha that was open early and had great food! Neighborhood spot, nothing fancy, just exactly what you expect and want. The rare steak pho was my favorite dish- pho is a hard dish to beat and mess up, and it came with not just a lot of noodles but meat. My next favorite were the pork rolls which were a huge portion of pork, veggie, and some crispy fried ingredient that provided the perfect crunch. As I'm writing this I'm craving another bite hahaha. The sizzling steak plate came with a lot of vegetables, salad, rice, and pickled daikon and carrot. This was the most expensive dish we ordered, but the steak felt too chewy and overcooked. We also ordered the banh khot appetizer, which is a dish I've never tried before but have always wanted to! I thought it was an egg dish, but was pleasantly surprised by the pancake texture and coconut flavor. We were so full by the time this dish came out, as they informed us the banh khot takes some time to prepare, but we still finished this entire spread. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely come back to Pho Ha! Their menu is extensive and has all the Vietnamese classics so I'm excited to try :) read more

Ordered bun Bo hue - broth was good but pork hock/meat was so chewy. The peppered ham was good. The banh khot was ok, salted shrimp & pepper was also weirdly chewy. Vietnamese coffee was good. Service was friendly/nice though. read more

I don't know that many good pho places in Brea or its vicinity, but came to this pho place as it was on the way back home after church. It's a casual, typical pho restaurant vibe but there is roofed outdoor seating available as well. I ordered pho and my husband got a bahn mi sandwich. I didn't really expect much but the pho here was actually pretty decent. I think it's good enough to satisfy a pho craving. The bahnmi wasn't cut in half so we wanted to ask the staff to get it cut. It was a pretty chill day when we dined but there was hardly any service at the table. So my husband had to go up to them to ask. Instead of getting the sandwich cut in the kitchen, they gave my husband a knife so he can cut the sandwich himself. The staff didn't even come over for our check so we had to go to the front to get that ourselves. They weren't even in the counter area much so it took a while to even check out. That's the reason I'm giving 3 stars. Food was decent here but they're not really attentive or come off as lazy. read more

I come to Pho Ha once in a while due to work being close by. My go to order is a small bowl of #8 pho and spring rolls. The broth is always flavorful and comforting. The times I've dined in, you're greeted at the entrance and can choose any table or booth to sit in. The wait isn't very long and the food arrives in a timely manner. read more

Pho Ha - Vietnamese Near Me - Brea, California

I really liked the food here - we stopped in here after a rainy day and needed Pho to warm up. The wait was a little long considering we waited the longest for Pho - I've been to several other places where the Pho comes out as soon as you order. I tried the chicken pho and the beef stir fry noodles. The beef dish was sooo flavorful, but some of the beef was a little tough. The pho tasted good and there was enough for leftovers. The workers were all kind and the place was very clean. They had a decent amount of people eating in there on this rainy day, so maybe that's why the food was a little slower for take out. The only other thing is it was kind of expensive! I spend $44 on broth and beef noodles that they classified as spaghetti noodles ... a little steep, but if you can swing it, it's still a tasty bite. read more

I moved here from Westminster (Little Saigon) and have been coming to this spot for over 10 years. This location consistently delivers some of the best service and Vietnamese food around. It even gets full approval from my brother, who's from Vietnam--so that says a lot. The wide variety of dishes keeps things exciting and lets you appreciate different flavors and parts of the culture. The restaurant is always clean and well-kept, even on the busiest days. Highly recommend. read more

Food was fresh and flavorful, kudos to the kitchen staff. Darren was our waiter and we were very happy and well taken care of. I will absolutely comeback here. I also appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant. More of this please read more

This isn't the best pho I've ever had but it hits the spot and the price is even better. I love that they give noodle and meat refills for a low price. The tendon in the pho is good quality- my favorite meat in pho is tendon so I always get this and usually it's not great quality but I loved the tendon here. I did not feel the rare steak was great quality tho. I liked how the spring rolls had both pork and shrimp. Not just one or the other. Also, every single patron in here was Asian - speaks volumes. Will return. read more

I've been coming here for 12 years and it is still my favorite pho place. My usual is the pho tai. I love that they still have small and large, even though there's not much of a price difference. The avocado smoothie with boba is also really good, and I've had friends that ordered rice plates, noodles, and appetizers, and I believe their menu is overall very good! Excellent place, wonderful, kind staff, lots of open space. I hope they're here forever! read more

This place is the most inconvenient restaurant I've ever seen, why would you send raw meat for a DoorDash order? And then not answer the phone when I am making corrections to my order. Taking advantage of a DoorDash person who does not speak English you guys are trash and I will never eat here again. read more

Hands down the best pho I've ever had. This is my husband's and my go-to spot! The strawberry smoothie is also incredible--honestly can't leave without one. The owner is always so kind and welcoming, and the service is fast every time. We come here 1-2 times a month P.S. GET THE EGG-ROLLS!!! You won't regret it read more

Very appreciative of the bun bo hue here. The broth is "cleaner" than more authentic BBH but still gets the job done. Service is okay, nothing extraordinary. read more

Pho Ha is that OG type of pho restaurant that has the uniform and consistent taste across all of its locations. It certainly is not my favorite however it is local to where I work and my husband and I will stop by every now and then for a quick and hot lunch. You can expect to get your bowl out within five minutes or less however, other items on the menu may require some addt time. I ordered a new item on their menu today, banh khot and it did take a while longer however it was worth it. It's not the best that I've had however, it certainly satisfied my cravings, was freshly made, and flavorful. I do wish that there were more lettuce to wrap it up in.. we received two lettuce leaves that were cut in half and there were a total of eight banh khot.. not exactly enough to wrap however I still did inhale the dish. I'm sure the next time then I'm back here. I'll order this dish again in advance just to have enough time to be able to properly enjoy and not dine & dash. read more

Pho Ha - 51B. Banh Khot - Vietnamese mini pancake - Vietnamese Near Me - Brea, California

I went here with my friend for lunch and I'll say the food is pretty decent for the price. The restaraunt was clean, service was good, and there was no wait. However, I have definitely been to better Vietnamese places in SoCal. The Nem Nuong Cuon was delicious but the Com Tam was only ok. The meat was dry which threw off the dish for me. The portion size was good and it filled me up. I wouldn't order the dish again but I would maybe come back to try other dishes in the future if I'm in the area and craving Vietnamese food. read more

Pho Ha - Lean brisket, spaghetti noodles stir fry with beef and peppers, and diced steak with rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Brea, California

Been coming here for years but wasn't able to make it out here in the last year. I was craving their clay pot (fried rice with an egg on top). Food came out piping hot and still sizzling. The clay pot was just as good as I remember it. I could ay maybe the egg rolls could be a little crispier but they are still sooo delicious. The way their fish sauce is prepared is very good and their picked garnish on the egg roll plate really elevated the flavor of the dish. I'm so glad to come back after a year and it being just as good as I remember. I'll keep driving the 20-25 min drive to eat here. Staff was busy working but on top of it. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Pho Ha - Looks very pretty - Vietnamese Near Me - Brea, California

They bring the beef stew already tủn bad with bad sour taste and bad smell. Never come back. Dont reccomend since it s unethical.

I came here for lunch and left the restaurant disgusted! I grew up eating authentic Vietnamese food so I can say, YES, I am qualified to be a critic on Vietnamese cuisines. We ordered 2 different pho, number 1 the house special and number 11 both in large size (cost $1 more for large size instead of regular), curry chicken, and lemon grass chicken. Very basic Vietnamese dishes. What can go wrong!! The pho broth was not hot enough to cook the raw meat that came on top of the pho. We had to ask for an extra bowl of hot broth to add to the bowl in hope that it would make it hotter to cook the meat. The owner gentleman was nice enough to do this for us. The pho broth itself did not taste spectacular, and the one thing I could not stand was the smell of their meat. When this type of meat tripe is not cooked or cleaned properly it has a lingering odor. YUCK!! The curry chicken was came with large pieces of thigh and leg and wings. There was no white meat so good luck if you want this. Basically they used cheap thigh quarter pieces of meat that was hormone fed chicken because the leg pieces were gigantic! They put taro only in the curry broth, no carrots or potatoes like in the traditional chicken curry. On top of that, it tasted awful and had a lingering odor that I could not describe. The lemon grass chicken is a very basic traditional dish that every Vietnamese family grows up enjoying. Well, here again it was cooked differently. The chicken pieces were cut in huge cubed pieces that you can hurt someone if you threw a piece at them in a food fight! The dish came in a brownish color sauce instead of the clear lighter chicken and lemon grass color. They added green peppers to the dish!! There was no care in preparation for this dish. And yes, there was lemon grass in here for a slightly lemon grass aroma. I was thoroughly upset when I left the restaurant thinking how do they get away with feeding people this poor quality food. I came to the conclusion that they got away with it because in Brea there are lots more non-Vietmese people and maybe people just didn't know the difference. I rated the restaurant a 2 star because at least it was clean and service was friendly. But that is the only positive I can say about this business. read more

Food here is authentic, piping hot, and the flavor is delicious. The pho is the best in town! My daughters' both request to eat here every week lol. Their Thai tea is strong and so, so good. Their bbq pork spring rolls with the crispy rollup inside is my FAVE. I tried the fried fish (#43) and it was crispy, zero bones, and very very tasty! Will order again :) Service has always been great, and you can tell that the owners care very much. Great place to bring family and friends :) read more

This location always hits the spot. We have enjoyed everything we have ordered here over the past few years. Special shout-out for the veggie broth. The taste is outstanding. Only removing one star because sometimes the service can be a bit slow. However, every time we've gone, it's been pretty busy, so it's understandable. read more

I never had a restaurant show me such love and respect. Darren who always there runs the pace and always remember my name "BRIIIANNN". Feels like "Cheers" the tv show . Been coming here for years and writing now because they were 10 min from closing empty house and still welcomed me in for Pho and egg rolls to go . Even after I tried to scratch the order Darren says for u all the way to 930p anything I want. I wouldn't do that but good to kno I'm welcomed. I'll always come back read more

Another weekly rotation in my lunch arsenal for my work from home days. I rotate between the pork & vermicelli noodles (especially on hot days,) bahn mi, and rare stake / brisket pho, or seafood pho. Their egg rolls are also superb! The pho broth is good, not the BEST (but ordering take out is always hard to judge) but it always hits the spot. Portions are perfect for lunch! read more

Been coming here for years when I go to lunch. This place has tasty pho. What I like the most is they have the combo that comes with beef, fatty brisket, tripe and tendon.

I really pretty love this store. Even through I've been to so many places like San Francisco, Las Vegas and Houston and so on, this one is the pho shop which fits my taste best ever. I love the umami and salty style broth to sip. And serving speed is fast. Quality of cuisine is always good as usual. The boss of this shop is Vietnamese which could guarantee the authenticity of the flavor of the food here. I have moved home several times through, I still some here to enjoy the Vietnam local taste as allowed. read more

If tasteless pho with a 20 minute wait is your jam, this place is for you. Bad service, worse tasting food, and high prices for the quality of food. Better drive 29 minutes further to Little Saigon and get the real thing. read more

The pho is flavorful! What I love is their late hours and the friendliness of the staff, happy to be within a 1 mile radius of this place

Food's always consistently delicious. Service is top notch, ask for Darren you'll be in good hands. Highly recommend.

The food was very fresh and the service was fast and friendly. We appreciated that they had a whole vegetarian section on their menu!. We will be coming back. The restaurant was also very clean and had a calm atmosphere. read more

We love this photo place! We have been going here for the last 2 years. The noodles don't get soggy and the broth is good:) the owner Daren is the best and always treats us with kindness. He's a big reason why we keep coming back. The food comes out fast and hot! Food always tastes amazing! The orange juice is fresh (really hard to find fresh orange juice these days). And so are the smoothies - all natural and doesn't taste artificial. Unfortunately, we are moving away and won't be "regulars" anymore but when we are back in the area we will definitely go to this pho spot! read more

This place has gone downhill from recent years -very bland pho broth, bland and flavorless fried rice. There was only one individual seating guests and taking orders while the rest of the employees were in the back/kitchen. Upon receiving the check, the owner/server tipped himself 18% "automatic gratuity" for our table. Definitely try another Vietnamese restaurant as this one was very pricey for poor service, food quality. read more

Over priced and low quality. I ordered pho to go which only comes in 1 size. The noodles were cold, and the broth was luke warm at best. The noodles had a taste like they were almost spoiled or not temperature controlled properly. I ordered a grilled pork chop on the side of a plain pho, $22 and the pork was loaded with fat that was hard to chew through. I asked for extra hot sauce when I picked it up, I was told it was in the bag, there was 1 packet of hoisin sauce and 1 packet of hot sauce with the vegetables that come with the order. The broth needed more flavor and needed to be a lot hotter. Over all this was a big let down read more
