    Asparagus & Crab Soup (M/L) - Súp Măng Tây Cua
    Val G.

    The service was really off putting. No greeting or acknowledgment when placing a to go order. Our order sat at the counter for sometime before it was brought to us. I didn't think it was ours because it was quicker than we were told. BBH lacked flavor and the shrimp was too rubbery in the spring roll.

    Beef pho
    Selene S.

    Came here for dinner while in the area. Located in a big plaza, there's plenty of parking. The restaurant is pretty small inside but there was no wait when we came. Menus are already on the table. Server was quick in taking orders and bringing out water. We got the beef pho with 3 items ($13.49) and it was a decent portion for the price. Broth is on the sweeter side but still yummy. Service was attentive in refilling water. They give fortune cookies with the check.

    Brisket Beef Pho Medium (Brisket only) - Phở Nhỏ

    If I had to describe this place in one sentence it would be: Amazing and affordable pho spot tucked away in the corner of a small plaza. Service was excellent, you can tell they had regulars they interact with. The chicken and beef pho were both good and warmed me up. Perfect for a rainy day (or any day you're craving pho)!

    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.

    Along with delicious Pho, they have Chinese dishes here too. It's a small restaurant, but there is also patio seating. The beef brisket Pho is excellent with plenty of fatty pieces. It's not served with cilantro though. The fried rice is also very good! You can dine in, take to go, or order through Grubhub. They stopped working with DoorDash, even though it's still the default on their site, they don't use DoorDash anymore.

    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!

The spring rolls tasted so nostalgic to me, and the egg rolls were perfectly crispy. It was the best of both worlds! For our main entrees, we ordered the Brisket Pho and Stir-Fried Garlic Beef Tenderloin Vermicelli. The pho broth was clean yet deep and flavorful, and they gave a generous amount of brisket. The Stir-Fried Garlic Beef Tenderloin was a standout--the beef was flavorful, tender, and juicy. Because I wanted to try their garlic rice, I ordered a side, and it ended up being one of the best garlic rices I've ever had!

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.

    Four of us went to SUP Noodle Bar in Irvine on a Tuesday evening. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and…read moremanaged to snag the last available table without a wait. Judging by how quickly the place filled up, coming much later would probably have been a different story. The Food Between the four of us, we ordered the Parmesan Fries, two variations of pho, the Filet Mignon Fried Rice, and the Cajun Garlic Noodles. The Parmesan Fries were a very generous portion, exceptionally crispy, beautifully seasoned, and--in terms of flavor--just about perfect. My only complaint was that they were noticeably oily. Other than that, I couldn't find much fault with them. The Filet Mignon Pho was a treat. The beef was exactly as promised: tender and flavorful. What surprised me was the distinct kiss of cinnamon in the broth. Personally, I would have preferred to suspect the cinnamon rather than clearly taste it, but that's entirely a matter of preference. My wife loved every bite. I also managed to steal a taste of the Filet Mignon Fried Rice. While I certainly didn't regret my own order, I immediately knew what I'll be having next time. The filet was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the rice had a beautifully rounded, savory flavor. A real winner. My Cajun Garlic Noodles were excellent. The sauce had just the right consistency--rich and creamy, yet still delicate enough that the garlic and seasoning weren't buried underneath it. It was certainly on the heavier side, but somehow managed not to leave me feeling weighed down afterward. Rich without becoming exhausting is not an easy balance to strike. The Atmosphere SUP has a modern, distinctly Asian noodle-bar feel. Hard surfaces, no carpeting, and very little acoustic dampening mean that, in polite restaurant language, the atmosphere is lively. In less polite restaurant language: it's loud. That didn't bother us, and it actually suited the casual, energetic atmosphere. But I probably wouldn't choose SUP for a quiet, intimate dinner--or for hearing a lengthy story in which every single word matters. The Service This was the standout. We were not the world's easiest table. Between four first-time customers, individual likes and dislikes, questions about the menu, and various dietary requirements, we gave our waiter plenty to work with. Chase was patient throughout. He explained things, repeated things when necessary, answered our questions, and helped guide each of us toward something that suited us. By the end of dinner, all four of us were convinced we'd ordered the right thing. I'm fairly difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant service, but Chase impressed me. This isn't fine dining, nor should it be judged as such. What stood out was something much simpler: at every opportunity, Chase did a little more than was required of him. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and patient without ever making us feel that we were being difficult. That deserves recognition. The Bottom Line We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and our evening at SUP Noodle Bar. The food was flavorful and well prepared, portions were generous, and the service--particularly from Chase--was exceptional. The only caveat I would mention is the noise level, and that certainly won't stop me from returning. In fact, I already know what I'm ordering next time: That Filet Mignon Fried Rice. --- And Then, Two Days Later... Well, that didn't take long. Two days after writing this review, I was back. My daughter ordered the Filet Mignon Fried Rice I'd been planning to have, so, in the interest of not ordering the same thing, I changed course and ordered the Pho Anthony Bourdain. An instant classic. Absolutely delicious--and now I have a new problem: too many great things to choose from. You won't hear me complain. That's a pretty good problem to have.
