Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the drinks except for the Lychee Martini of course . Lol then we ordered the food. We ordered the pork chop, which was phenomenal and the dumplings too, and OMG this was the best dining experience I've ever had. The dumplings were so light and the sauce and broth definitely made this dish amazing! We also had the shaking beef and I have to say Nathan (the chef) really knows how to cook!! Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! We will definitely be back for more.

Feels like a summer melt in my mouth…read more Everything was so fresh, unique and well-seasoned. Such a sunshine treat to my palate. We ordered 4 dishes: Summer rolls: Beautifully made. The crispy tempura shrimp paired really well with the salad, especially purple cabbage. Tangy sweet and sour sauce was a nice touch. Octopus fried rice: This one got me on chokehold. Never really try anything like this before. If I have to describe this in one phrase, I would say bursting with flavor. I love how the rice is super fluffy and the octopus is chewy but tender at the same time. But I do think its sauce made all the different. Can come back just for this one alone. Ceviche on bánh phồng tôm: This one is super random but it's the kind that made your day. I got to talk to the owner and she told me the story about how she built her recipes from scratch and her time learning cooking in Japan, so she invited me to try this ceviche. I'd say it tastes like a savory ice cream. The buttery avocado complements the tuna, carrot and cucumber like a match made from heaven. But I don't think this dish is on the menu haha. Prawn on mango salad: Really unique take on mango salad as it's not heavy on seasoning at all; but still full of flavors and fragrances. It has cassava, apple, mango, carrot and mint tossed well in some kind of sweet fish sauce. Prawns are huuuge!! Big plus. Place has a warm and rustic ambiance with wooden accent. Big bar wrapped around and also has a boba place next to it. Lots of parking and seatings so really family friendly. My server Jennie was kind and energetic! The owner are super ambitious about what she does, also really funny and approachable Overall, this place is more on a higher price side, but definitely worth your time and money. Support local business! FIVE STARS

The food is amazing. Oxtail very tender and a lot of pieces…read more The broth is also very rich, but not too greasy. 5/5 Comes with normal fairy of the jalapeños, bean, sprouts, lemon slices. The filet mignon fries are good, but the quality of itself is just OK and the meat instead of being cubed me there thin sliced marinated meat, which is nice but I would've preferred to cubed meat. 4/5 The lychee green tea was good as well. Little bit too sweet for my taste. Shrimp spring rolls were nice and fresh, wish they use Romain lettuce salary instead of iceberg lettuce. 5/5 Leave side of tendon and tripe came separately and were very nice. 5/5 The service was interesting, there was a server, but also all of the kitchen stuff and the dishwasher or server also asked how everything was. Very attentive and kind.

I'm a little disappointed. For a restaurant with a 4.8-star review, I had pretty high expectations…read more Pho 999999 was closed for a private party, so we decided to give this place a try. We ordered the plain pho for my child, and the flavor was just okay. I don't know if it's because it was a plain bowl and the flavor was naturally more mild, or if it came from a different pot, but either way, it was pretty meh. I've definitely had better. My husband and I both got the bun thit nuong. The portion was huge and could easily have been shared. The meat was really flavorful, and the fish sauce was also very good. The pork spring rolls were ok, nothing special. As for the ambiance, it definitely had more of a hole-in-the-wall feel. I'm not sure if another party had just left, but the area where we sat wasn't very clean and the table/area felt really sticky. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on the high rating, I was expecting more.

I've been going to Pho HP off and on for a few years now…read more It is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in my general area. If i lived closer, i would definitely go more often. It is family owned. It is located in a strip mall in Huntington Beach at the corner of Beach and Main. A very busy intersection. There is parking in front of the restaurant. They have a handicap ramp. The interior design is modern and simplistic. Everyone is always friendly and we Love Amy the owner. Although, we have been missing her over the past couple of visits. When you walk in, you'll get seated right away and the server will bring you a glass bottle of Alkaline water. Nice touch! The menu is simple and on point. They offer all the main traditional Vietnamese dishes. For starters, we ordered the crispy veggie egg rolls which comes with 4 egg rolls, the summer rolls with shrimp which also comes in 4 pieces. As a main course, we got 2 shrimp pho's with vegan broth (yes they brought back the vegan broth) Thank you Amy It is light and goes really well with the shrimp. Make sure to add lots of fresh basil for a flavor boost. And we also got the house garlic prawns which comes with either steam rice or garlic noodles as well as steamed brocoli. Everything is delicious. The Pho noodle soup is a must. It is available with different meats and broths with option of thick or thin rice noodles. In my opinion, It is the best. And i believe that most people go there specifically for their Pho. That is what got me hooked. Overall Pho HP is always a great experience and we will be back again soon. I highly recommend Pho HP.

The salad had a nice balance of tangy, fresh, and savory. I liked how they added burrata to it. Wings were perfectly seasoned, garlicky, and crispy on the outside just how I like it. Their phos were delicious and so comforting. The broth is on the darker side, but it still tasted light and not too fatty. They use the thick noodles which is a plus. The garlic noodles were yummy and garlicky. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked on the medium rare side. Staff were friendly and helpful! Clean and modern space too.

They take reservations, but we were happy they could accommodate us as walk-ins. We ordered the banh mi chao and garlic noodles with beef, and both dishes had so much flavor! The banh mi chao came with eggs, steak, pate onions, and tomatoes, making it a delicious mix of flavors in one skillet. The bread was so soft and fresh which was perfect for dipping into the sauce. The garlic noodles with beef were another highlight. Between the delicious food and the wonderful service, Nep Cafe made a great first impression. I would definitely recommend these dishes and also try the recommendations our server suggested.

It's located in a small strip mall type area - there were signed indicating they had more parking in the back, but I luckily found a spot right in front. I went in before paying for the spot (which they do validate, according to signs), and they said to not worry about it and they would cover the ticket IF I got one. I was starving so I ordered the challenger bowl. It is a decent sized bowl and you CAN possibly be full with just the first round of noodles - but if a place offers free noodle refills I have to at least refill once, right? The broth has a sweet note and a lot of flavor, meats were very good and the beef rib meat fell off the bone. Definitely worth the trip out and a great option for late night eats.

All the dishes are full of flavor and cooked to perfection. My go to is the lomo saltado with filet minion or picanha cooked medium rare. I prefer the filet since it is more tender, but both are excellent. The chicken wings are amazing, garlic noodles, and truffle fries. Service is always great and vibes are on point. Make a reservation, for wait times get close to an hour on the weekend. One of my favorite restaurants, highly recommend!
