The Pho House has to be one of my favorite spots whenever I'm in the mood for soup. The owner is the sweetest -- she is always so welcoming, kind, and genuinely friendly, which makes every visit feel special. I truly love supporting her and her business, and you can tell how much care goes into everything. The food is always amazing. Their combination fried rice is delicious, the beef brisket is so flavorful and tender, and the fried egg rolls are crispy and so good. I usually get a Thai tea as well, and it never disappoints. Everything is consistently fresh, comforting, and satisfying. This place truly feels like a hidden gem, and the warm service makes it even better. I can't recommend it enough and will always continue coming back and supporting! read more

This place is clearly run by a Korean family. Right away, the older woman working here was very welcoming and incredibly sweet to my son which set a positive tone for our visit. The menu does offer Korean dishes but given the name of the place, we opted to stick with pho. In hindsight, that may not have been the best choice. The pho dish is being recreated by Koreans without fully capturing what makes pho special. Traditional pho broth is usually a slow simmered beef bone broth that's rich, aromatic and layered with flavor from spices like star anise, cloves, charred onions etc. The broth here was much more bland and seemed to rely heavily on fish sauce rather than that deep, comforting flavor pho is known for. Even the toppings felt incomplete. They didn't offer the usual herbs like mint or thai basil and just offered cilantro and bean sprouts. Honestly, the soup felt flat and lacked balance. Shrimp rockets were decent but the pho itself just wasn't memorable. read more

It was my first time here, came around 8pm on a weekday. It wasn't busy at all and wasn't greeted right away to have chosen our own seats/booth. I got the Brisket Large Pho, it's a lot of noodles and not enough meat. The flavor wasn't strong as ik and like my pho; again it's like a Korean spin to Pho. It's outdated inside and the bathrooms have gnats flying. But I'm okay with being able to try this place out. Their egg rolls were good. read more

The pho is great! Great flavors!! Each tables comes with the chili sauce and the hoison sauce to make to your likings! Only negative is the little amount of limes,cilantro and bean sprouts What's did we order? -1 plain pho (small) -1 veggie pho (large) -1 order of egg rolls (10/10) Both were great but order the small bc the size difference is very minimal. Free hot tea at the self serve station! The atmosphere is a typical Vietnamese restaurant.. no frills kind of place There really isn't a grade for service! Since the woman was really just order taker! No interaction! Also you get up to pay! We learned the hard way and waited and waited! Overall, we will return! read more

The soup is extremely bland and has an odd scent to it. The egg roll was good and very crispy. Maybe we should try something other than pho next time we come here. It's a place where you can easily come and go, but i think pho could be a hit or miss. Today's pho was just a space filler for my tummy--not for the taste but to address my hunger. Service was good with the friendly lady. read more

Amazing food and service. I went last night and ordered to go. I ordered kimchi fried rice, vermicelli with beef and shrimp, and their appetizer trio. All of it was so good. The kimchi fried rice was flavorful without being spicy, the vermicelli bowl had very generous servings of everything, and everything in the appetizer trio was delicious. The restaurant is spacious and clean. The owner was friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking out front. I'm so glad we tried it, definitely will become one of our go tos! read more

The pho broth is not the strongest at this place. I would say it's a decent pho if you're hungry and don't want to wait in a long line. It was pretty empty when I went there. Service is good and the place is pretty clean. You can get self service hot tea. read more

Yesterday marked the start of Lent for us Catholics. While visiting the town of Buena Park, my wife and I stumbled upon a little restaurant called Pho House. The service was fast, and the food was delicious. I mostly stuck with seafood when ordering. I didn't take many pictures, but the one I did take of this seafood pho already makes me want to go back. Hopefully, we can visit again soon--the fish cake, clams, and shrimp perfectly satisfied my seafood craving. Nice atmosphere as well if your in the area git it a try. read more

Pho House - Vietnamese Near Me - Buena Park, California

This is not Vietnamese food. I saw the stars and blindly trusted the rating without reading the reviews because it was late, and I needed to feed the kids before everything closed. It's nice that the restaurant closes late. I should've figured it out when I saw the pictures in Korean, but I thought they did that because we were in a huge Korean community. The other nice thing is that the kid's pho is really inexpensive: $3.99 for a bowl of pho noodles and clear broth, which didn't have a strong flavor. The oxtail pho had a lot of bone chips and the toppings were sparse, especially for how expensive it was. I thought they were clever by naming bun rieu Vietnamese champong, but it was actually more like dukbokki with pho noodles. It did have a lot of toppings and noodles, though. They also featured other dishes like naengmyun pho. I don't think I would've been so disappointed if it was more apparent that this wasn't traditional Vietnamese cuisine. And I was a bit upset when the kids looked up at the TV only to see a scene of two men violently trying to strangle each other. Thankfully, I was close enough to quickly cover their eyes. read more

Pretty good pho. Not the best I've ever had. The noodles were pretty underdone or just kind of bad tasting... portions were pretty decent. Service was fine. I wouldn't go back. They did have some interesting options though. A Korean pho place. Unique for sure. read more

Very friendly staff members. Also their pho broth was just right. I enjoyed ordering just the broth by itself. It was perfect for cold weather. I also enjoyed ordering half order of their spring rolls. Just the right size if you don't want to eat a lot. Their self serve hot tea bar is also a nice touch. The restaurant itself is not that big so it's not too cluttered. People that were on the restaurant the day we came in seem to know each other. Which is good, means lots of repeat customers. This place is located in a small plaza next to Zion market. Lots of parking and other establishments to walk around after. I'd come back for sure. read more

This place was sooooooo good. The pho was amazing. I thought that small wasn't gonna be enough and it was! It was a big portion too. The egg rolls were the best part of my meal. The owner (I believe) was really kind and kept checking on us. The restaurant was really quiet especially for a Saturday! 10/10 would come back again read more

Yes very good! The lady there is sweet and is on top of it! If you're wondering about the quality it's better than some fancy pho places I've been to! You won't be disappointed read more

This place is your average Korean owned pho place. They make decent pho. The service isn't anything special; you order food and they bring it to you and don't come back until you are done. Nothing extra or exciting. I appreciate that this place opens late, so I was able to grab a bite when I was hungry. I ordered pho and shrimp rockets. The pho was fine and the shrimp was good. I was satisfied. They provided me with what I needed. I ate and then I left. End of story. read more

This is some of the best pho I have had the woman working here is so sweet she even remembers my order and one time gave me a box of cookies her food is good the time takes like about 5 to 3 minutes and she will check up on you and you get free hot tea! And it feels like you're at a home she makes you feel so welcome and her egg rolls are also really good! And she loves kids she gives them all small lollipops and all her food is amazing but sometimes like winter nights it gets packed but over all it's amazing! read more

Came here Sunday evening, place was pretty empty maybe one booth taken up. We were sat down quickly and our food came out quickly as well however the food to me personally the pho was lacking flavor. It was a good size overall and the spring rolls were good. I really wanted to like this place but it was ok. read more

Food is great, it's clean, service is great. Will go again when in La mirada . Recommend the beef rib bowl

tl,dr: mediocre but sufficient. Likes: + Despite the place not being Vietnamese-owned, the Vietnamese food is pretty good. + Restroom has paper towels. Non-likes: - Not authentic phở. Doesn't have the right veggies. It's missing the rau quế (Thai basil) and ngò gai (sawtooth coriander). - The staff don't speak Vietnamese. If you're a recent migrant who hasn't learned English yet, hopefully you can speak Korean. - The staff don't really check up on you. They forget you unless you flag 'em down. - Slow service. Food took 10-15 min to come out. - Since it's not really phở, maybe their restaurant and food should've just been called "Rice Noodle House". - Only one restroom. - Moderately crowded, limited parking. No wonder this restaurant has low rating. That evening, nearby phở restaurants were PACKED. read more

We see Auntie Anna *every week* for Sunday pho! (We love you, Anna Emmoneem!) The restaurant is clean and the food is always delicious! Our staples are beef belly pho, bbq pork banh mi, the sampler appetizer with fresh spring rolls, fried egg rolls, and shrimp rockets, and the cold beef broth noodles read more

This was our second choice for Pho after finding the neighboring restaurant had a one-hour wait. Despite being touted as the first Pho establishment in the area, there are now three Pho restaurants at the intersection, indicating fierce competition. The ambiance, decor, service (handled by a single person), and the flavor of the Pho were somewhat mediocre. Although the prices were not low, the overall quality of the meal did not meet our expectations. I opted for something different this time: the ox tail Pho, which was marketed as a premium option, but unfortunately, the taste did not match the premium price. read more

The food was amazing. Came out quickly and everything was fresh. We ordered the oxtail pho and the beef rib pho, I would recommend both read more

A plus for them since they're open pretty late. The portion sizes are relatively generous for the price. The regular bowls of pho cost around $13-15. It takes a while for the food to come out. The unfortunate part is that the soup broth itself is really salty. We tried both pho and sullungtang. Both were very salty. It lacked the depth of flavor you're expecting. read more

Came in with my girl and a friend never tried this place before it was early about 930 every place opens at 10 so I thought I'd try this place out. I ordered a bowl of pho plain and a pork bahn mi sandwich. The broth was salty not typical of other Vietnamese places, As for the sandwich pork meat was red like they added food coloring I It wasn't bad, but wasn't good. the noodles were good other than that can't say much more about this place as far as I'm concerned one and done. I don't think I'm coming back. And I also noticed that there was a lot of Korean writing on the walls so I think they're Koreans trying to make Vietnamese food and it ain't working. read more

Great quality of meat and largely portioned. Beef spring rolls were delicious! Just left from my lunch break today and though it was a little drive, it was definitely worth it in my opinion. I enjoyed that the broth wasn't as minty and many other pho places I have tried in the past. My favorite appetizer were the beef spring rolls. read more

This is restaurant is not bad. Some items in the menu are really good but the one thing they serve which is the Pho soup was not good at all. The soup was tasteless. I've tasted better Pho. However, the Vietnamese sandwich and the shrimp spring rolls were delicious. I definitely recommend them. If I come back, I would definitely come back for only those two items. I wouldn't come back for Pho soup here. Sorry, the Pho Soup wasn't good. read more

Not the service but the pho. The service here is good but respectfully will not come back for the pho. It has a weird aftertaste with the broth - not a clean broth taste like you would find at a quality pho place. Comes with all the regular toppings. I also noticed the Thai tea came in this soft drink Dr Pepper cup. read more

I got hooked to this place after I stopped by to get some spring rolls, which were the best I've tasted by far! Since then our whole family eats take out from here for everything from the vermicelli salads, pho, to the fried rice, and of course, the spring rolls. The lady who runs the restaurant is really friendly and attentive, and I always see a lot of regulars at the place, which I count myself as one now. read more

Best pho ever!! The service is amazing!! It does get busy at times. But be patient! It's worth it!

I have gone here for lunch several times and it's always been good. The food comes out fast and taste great I always get the rare beef and brisket. I have also tried the seafood one and the meatballs pho along with the kimchi seafood. Price is fair food quality is good service is quick and friendly. I usually go during lunch and it's pretty chill. read more

The female owner was so terrible. She was rude. I don't want to go this restaurant again. bad service!!

I'd say the only good thing about this restaurant is that it's open late. Other than that I did not like the place. Service was horrible. It was not busy whatsoever. There was not many people for them to be so ignorant. It was just us then another party came in. However somehow that table kept getting served and they attended them very well. Unfortunately I feel it was because they were also Korean like the employees. We had to keep getting up to ask for everything because no one was checking on us and they were rude when we asked for forks or extra plates. read more

I know the ownership has not changed but it seems as if the quality has dropped off a bit. We used to pick up from here, since we live down the street. They used to keep the beef rare on the side but now they put it in while packing so it's not very tender when it gets home. The broth also doesn't seem as fresh anymore. Not worth it when you can get Sup right across the street. read more

Unfortunately, this is not authentic pho. It is Korean own so there is no depth to the flavor. Service was minimal. The restaurant is very old and outdated. I don't recommend if you're looking for authentic pho. read more
