    Beef Pho Large
    John O.

    We have been coming to the former place for years. My understanding is a relative bought the place from the older owners and renamed it. Much of the items offered are the same. The menu just presents them by their Vietnamese names first. I went with pho and it was delicious and filling. The Thai iced tea remains some of the best around.

    Have not really come across a decent Vietnamese restaurant while we were in Deerfield Beach, so we were in a way looking forward to coming here as soon as we landed in OC. I'm glad we don't have to drive to Little Saigon in Westminster to have tasty vietnamese food. Anyways, we ordered the following: Asparagus & Crab Soup came out steaming, with generous and real crab sweetness in every spoonful. The Pork Egg Rolls are crispy, herb‑forward, and perfect with my fave dipping sauce. The Chicken Wings with Garlic Fish Sauce hit that ideal balance of sticky, crunchy and garlicky -- easily one of the best versions around. And my forever go‑to, the Broken Rice with BBQ Pork, is tender, smoky, and consistently satisfying. Friendly service and generous portions at an affordable price point, keep this spot in our regular rotation.

    Vermicelli is good here. Standard vietnamese fare and quality, satisfying. I found the eggroll to be just okay versus other eggrolls at other Vietnamese restaurants, filling-wise.

    Butter Garlic chicken Wings
    Kwan K.

    Came here on a Saturday dinner, several tables inside and bot too busy. Ordered some butter garlic chicken wings and pho. Chicken wings wings were super crispy and buttery. Not spicy and a good bit of garlic. A little on the dry side. Pho was standard and you get a choice of various meats. Good portions and warms you up on a cold day. Overall recommend trying this place out if you are in Tustin

    Chicken pho
    Yurie H.

    Solid pho that is affordable and fast service. We came here for lunch in a Tuesday not too many people and found a seat easily. Located in the same mall as cream pan, plenty of parking. I got the chicken pho (medium 13.5) and my fiancé got the large ($15). Pho comes with bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil. Chicken pho was light and flavorful. Good amount of chicken portion was perfect! Glad to find a place where a bowl is not $20, would like to try the beef ones next time.

    Vietnamese Vermicelli Bowl
    Annie T.

    Parking: in the same lot as Cream Pan tucked in a corner near a Poke place with plenty of spots available Food: had good balance of veggies/meat/ noodles for the vermicelli bowl Service: it was okay. They just take your order and you have to go up to the counter to pay and they never check in so don't expect good customer service but it's fine because the food is all that matters lol

    Bun Thi Nuong! BBQ Pork with Eggrolls
    Em B.

    Located near Cream Pan Bakery with plenty of parking. It was not busy when we arrived on a late Saturday afternoon. I loved Bun Bo Hue here. Soup tasted light yet rich at the same time. I did not get "gio" by choice. I got everything else that came with it. It's hard driving out to Bolsa or GG Town so I am glad I finally found some good Bun Bo Hue here in Tustin. Meats, noodles and veggies tasted fresh. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (BBQ pork with eggrolls) tasted deliciously fresh and clean with well marinated meats. Pho was on the sweet side but very delicious as well. Pho was served with all the normal thai basil and Ngo Gai, bean sprouts etc so that was a plus. Meats were not as tender as I would normally enjoy like filet mignon. I would come back since it's much closer and prices are competitive. Meats tasted well marinated and clean and vegetables were fresh. Plus, staff was very polite, friendly and quick with services. The inside looks clean.

    Beef stew
    Joelle C.

    The food was very good especially the beef stew. This time was my husband second time coming here and my first time here. However, I did get to try their food (beef stew) that my husband brought home for me the first time. The spring rolls and egg rolls were yummy. I especially like the size of the rolls not skimpy. The rice dish was pretty good. Service was good and ambiance was good. I especially loved the prices here very reasonable.

    Jocelyn Y.

    Great prices at this restaurant! My family and I all ordered the pho. My only "complaint" is that the soup tasted pretty sweet (so I added lime to balance it out). We asked for more onions and basil, they were kind to provide more. Interior is clean and servers were kind. I'd definitely come again to try their vermicelli and other menu items!

    I was craving for Pho today driving pass the area and I found this pho place on yelp with some good reviews so i decided to come and try it out. This place is located inside a strip mall near the end of the street el camino way. It is in the same plaza as cream pan. Plenty of parking in this strip mall. There is a water fountain right in front of it. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly male server and he was attentive. He greeted me and sat me down, took my order and food came out pretty fast. The inside of this place isn't that big. The menu only has Vietnamese and English but no Chinese so it might be inconvenient for people thats not that good in English and Vietnamese. Food wise, I ordered a Pho noodle soup. You can pick 3 items from a Medium size bowl and 4-5 items for a large size bowl. The portion came out smaller than I expected but not a big deal. i also ordered an egg flower crab meat soup which it is pretty decent. A decent pho restaurant to go a grab a quick lunch or dinner. Nothing negative I can say about this place but also nothing amazed me to give it a 5 so therefore I would give this place a 3.5 rating ( round up to be 4 star rating ).

    Pho (11.A) with brisket, meatballs, tripe
    Sandy H.

    Located in the same plaza as Cream Pan. It wasn't busy when we came here for lunch so we got seated right away. I ordered pho with a choice of 1-3 meats which was nice to be able to choose my own specific meats. I went with brisket, meatballs and tripe and they tasted great with the broth. Overall, a decent bowl of pho!

    Pho with rare beef, meatballs, and tripe
    Betty G.

    Recently came back and had the Spicy beef noodles and that was good but not authentic. It came with slices of beef shank and a few pieces of pork rolls. Love the veggies that came with it though. This dish is 4/5. ***************************** Pho Ky Dong turned up while I was searching for some restaurants in Tustin. Went there during lunch hour. Restaurant was busy but not too crazy. I was going to try their grilled pork vermicelli but as I was walking through the main entrance, the pho aroma made me change my mind. :) Ordered the pho with 3-cut as a trial for the first time. It was surprisingly very good. They gave a fair amount of sliced rare beef and it was tender as I was hoping. The meatballs were also very good and it's the version with tendon. Tasty but not tough at all, which I liked. The tripe was good but some pieces were a bit tough. Most pieces were okay. Noodles were a bit too overcooked though. I like the noodles to be more el dente. Broth was perfectly made. Not fatty or greasy, nor oily. Clean and also not too salty. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. A lady next to me had the bun bo hue and that smelled good so I want to try that next, and also the grilled pork with vermicelli. Pork slices look lean in some of the Yelp review photos. Service was quick and employees were polite and friendly. Cashier (owner?) gave 10% off at check out. She said customers get 10% off at "happy hour", M-F, from 11;00 am to 3:00 pm. Cool.

    Elisa T.

    We were craving some pho and found this spot in Tustin. We got sat immediately and ordered a bowl or pho, vermicelli and eggrolls. I got the special vermicelli that had all three meats. The pork was seasoned well but on the fattier end. The shrimp was also pretty good has a strong spice taste to it. The pho was good enough, we would order takeout from them if ever in the area. Overall was a solid spot and would come again.

Beef Rib Stick Pho: This is the most highly recommended dish on the menu. Two giant bone-in short ribs stretch across the bowl, packed with flavor and so tender the meat falls right off the bone. A few bonus slices of fatty brisket are also hidden beneath the noodles. Combination Chow Mien: Similar to Cantonese crispy noodles. Loaded with meats and veggies in a light gravy. The top layer softens as it absorbs the sauce, while the bottom stays crispy--a fantastic mix of crunchy and tender textures. Julienne Pork, Egg Quiche, and Charbroiled Porkchops: Huge combo platter. Fresh, crisp veggies--though the side soup leans a bit heavy on MSG. Lychee Delight: Pretty average. Too sweet--needs to be diluted with water. The four lychees at the bottom are dull white and taste purely of sugary canned syrup. 住爾灣的朋友不用大老遠開車到小西貢,塔斯汀就有道地越南菜。 巨無霸牛肋骨河粉:所有菜色中最推薦這道。兩根橫跨碗口、大到連碗都快裝不下,吸飽了湯汁,燉煮夠軟爛,肉塊一咬就從骨上脫落的帶骨牛小排。麵條底部還藏有幾片半肥半瘦的牛胸腹肉。 什錦脆麵:類似廣式兩面黃,盛放各種肉片和鮮蔬,再少許勾芡,上層麵條吸汁變軟,下層麵條仍保酥脆,半濕半脆的口感。 三寶碎米飯:含蒸蛋肉餅,豬皮豬肉絲,和烤豬肉片的菜多量大拼盤。生蔬鮮度不錯,附湯味精有點重。 荔枝冰飲:很一般。飲料很甜需兌水稀釋。杯底含四顆荔枝,果肉呈半透明死白,嚐起來只感單一死甜的罐頭糖水荔枝。

We opted to try the garlic butter rice since that's something different - it was ok and would probably just get the regular broken rice next time.
