    Nice and clean place to have a bowl of Pho. The broth is delicious and the portion size is great. I ordered the Prince Bowl which is a large with everything in it. They only have 1 person waiting tables and he did a great job and was very personable. My sister even bought a T-Shirt from this place. Everything is so Pho King good! Plenty of parking and very easy to get to.

    It's hard to mess up grilled chicken, egg rolls and rice noodles but they did a great job. Stellar! Burned the egg rolls, the texture was weird too, the rice noodles were undercooked and how do you not boil that correctly it's ridiculous. Then there's the chicken which was really rubbery and hard. Very dissapointed. Service was not good either. The Pho King in Mission Viejo is better. The pho broth is LOADED WITH MSG and powdered bouillon. You'll be thirsty for hours after eating it. Stay away, there are far better places around. Doesn't seem like fresh beef bones are used unfortunately.

    Not worth it

    Expensive don't come here. The food isn't great. Hard to understand language. Order came out wrong

    been craving pho lately. went to get some and asked for veggie pho with chicken broth instead of veggie broth. got it, was definitely their veggie broth or maybe just water. not sure, was feeling bad for vegetarians. so i asked the guy and he swore it was chicken broth. the thing is, just admit your wrong. i ate chicken pho from this location one month ago and it was good and tasted like chicken. i brought it up to him later when he gave us the check and he continued to lie. then he told me that the veggie pho and chicken pho have the same broth.... wtf? what about the vegetarians??? i will stick to the mission location. really bummed with my bad experience. left thinking what the pho just happened. PSA the bathroom was dirty too. no PHO King Way

    My husband, toddler, and I were craving pho and didn't want to drive out to garden grove so we decided to give this much closer place a try. It was absolutely delicious. My husband and I agreed that the broth and noodles were amazing! The service was great too! We didn't order any drinks since we had our own water, but the waiter was still nice enough to bring us cups of ice without us having to ask. He also brought us an extra bowl and fork so we can serve our son. They are a family owned restaurant that is new to Lake Forest so I urge you to give them a try! PS their prices are great compared to other pho spots in the area!

    Pho King fantastic!

    Excellent service and food. Great ambiance as well. We are definitely going to be regulars here.

    I got oxtail (large) and my husband got the xl eye round that was enough to share with our two kids

    We've been coming to pho king way for years! Mainly because their food is delicious always hot and customer service is amazing. Kong is usually our main server and when they opened their new location we came running to see that he's running the whole front of the restaurant by himself and killing it! It's such clean and calm ambiance when you come in. Very welcoming! We forever will be customers here because the food is consist, better then most of the phos I tried in southern California (almost ever) and the services in both locations always makes us feel like family rather then customers! And I'm not pho-king around either lol

    I walked into SUP Noodle Bar not entirely sure what to expect from a Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion…read morespot, but I am so glad I checked it out! To get a taste of both worlds, I ordered the popular shrimp and sausage garlic noodles and the rib bone pho. The shrimp and sausage garlic noodles were garlicky greatness. It came with a side of aji sauce, but the noodles were already so loaded with flavor on their own that I didn't even think they needed it! As for the rib bone pho, it absolutely lived up to the menu description. The meat came clean off the bone. Usually, rib bone pho can skew a bit too heavy and fatty, but this broth was incredibly balanced. I actually found myself enjoying the natural flavor without immediately reaching for the hoisin sauce. Plus, a major bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills! Service was fast, super friendly, and they checked in on us often.

    Really solid spot for vietnamese food! The couple of times I've been here, I've had the brisket…read morepho. The meat is tender, and the noodles are cooked to a nice al dente such that throughout the course of the eating experience, it does soften a bit to a perfect texture in the hot broth. Speaking of the broth, it is clean, light, yet so flavorful. It needs no sriracha sauce or hoisin sauce. I've also tried the pho shaken style, which added even more depth and flavor to the broth. The charred vegetables and the oil that it's cooked in adds even more complexity to the broth. Naturally, it does make the broth a little heavier, but that's not a bad thing and it's definitely worth trying at least once. The truffle fries are also great. It comes with ketchup, a green sauce, and an orange sauce. All of these sauces are great, but the orange sauce is really special to me, probably my favorite out of the three sauces. I'm excited to come back and try their other dishes, like the various garlic noodle dishes they have. Service is good and the ambiance has a nice, clean, modern look and feel to it.

    It's been a while since my last visit to Hanbop, and after my recent visit, I now want to go more…read moreregularly! I was able to go in during lunch to get the lunch special price. The price has gone up since I last posted a picture of the menu but I think that it is still SUCH a steal for the amount of food and quality. I ordered the beef short rib lunch special and was amazed by how much food arrived! The preview pic on the menu did not do the actual meal size justice. I was surprised by the amount of short rib pieces included as well as the variety of side dishes within the bento (fried shrimp, dumpling, some sort of fried roll, 2 pieces of another roll, 2 pieces fried chicken and soup). This is still separate from the regular banchan they provide! I really love their kimchi and potato salad. There are plenty of seats in the restaurant and parking spots in the plaza. There were a lot of solo diners at the time of my visit. The workers are friendly and quick with your order and refills. Can't wait to go back!

It's situated in the same shopping center as Albertson's. The banchan (side dishes) served was delicious & just enough but you can always ask for more.

I ordered the XL Pho, and it did not disappoint. Packed with plenty of protein, and the broth was super flavorful--everything ties together perfectly. For the amount of food you get and the quality of the ingredients, the price is unbeatable. The staff is super nice but some are not that attentive. but i really appreciated that they let us sit exactly where we preferred. It's a pretty calm and peaceful environment too for a smaller space, It wasn't noisy, which made for a really enjoyable, relaxing meal. If you're in Lake Forest, i suggest you to check this place out! Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, top-tier pho.

They're definitely tougher critics than I am (as I don't have grandparents/family recipes to compare them to) but I'm always happy to tag along with them. The interior of the restaurant is small and I could see that it could be a bit tough to move around if they're busy. They also have little to no waiting area inside so if you aren't seated right away, chances are you'll be hanging outside in the parking lot. But we were there when the restaurant was maybe 1/3 full and we could move around easily & not feel like we were talking over other guests. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, but not so much so that it felt like they were trying to move us along with everything. I appreciated that. The menu is quite extensive. Yes, Pho is in the name but there are plenty of other Vietnamese options. I opted for the shaken beef plate. I wanted to get the version with fries, but my wife accidentally told the woman in Vietnamese that I wanted just the regular version. I guess I'll have to come back another time to see how it compares to one of my favorite dishes: Peruvian lomo saltado. However, I will say the standard plate I was served was delicious. Everything was well seasoned & cooked perfectly. Definitely one of the best bò lúc lắc dishes I've had in a restaurant in awhile. We had a good meal. My in-laws said the pho was fine. I think it tasted good. Our 3 kids slurped their bowls all up so that's a great sign. In all, if we're in the El Toro area & want some Vietnamese food, we'll absolutely be back.
