    Finally got to try this place and I must say, the pho was pretty good. Broth was rich amd flavorful. The meats were fresh, tender, and fatty how I like it. Amd the beef ribs and beef tendon bone was humongous. I love how they have the sate chilli at the table so you don't have to ask. Large open space with plenty of parking. Super friendly wait staff. Everything came out very hot and very fast. Fast pace atmosphere. Everyone was on the go there. Getting people in and out. But I didn't feel rushed at all.

    Came here with my kids for dinner and the pho noodle was very good and definitely would come back. Everytime we come here has been very good. We ordered the special pho(đặc biệt) and it was very good. Service was good. Ambience, they got a lot of chairs and table and you can come with groups. It can get very busy either weekdays or weekends.

    Calling all PHO LOVERS!!! The name says it all! A cloudy day fits the mood of eating warm soup to soothe the soul. All the food ordered was delicious. Great customer service and our server was quite friendly and attentive

    Came to pho lovers on a Sunday morning recently. Met up with family. Food was decent. Hubby said his plate was delicious. Service was decent.

    I've reviewed this place before, and I believe I've already given it 5 stars. A good chunk of my family members go here for their $6 bowl of tendon and broth. Haha! They are in their 80s and still think they can consume their collagen through this bowl and wake up looking younger. I must say, they look pretty good for their age. I'm sure it's an Asian thing. I'm just their driver. When I drive them, I eat for free! So of course I love it here. I always get the pork bowl with the egg rolls and noodles. That's a winner.

    I ordered the Stir Fried Filet Mignon Pho. It came out within 10 minutes. It was good! The meat was soft and not chewy. The pho broth was tasty. This is a great place for dates or hanging out with friends or family! The parking lot is medium sized so come during nonpeak hours. I recommend this place if you want good pho.

    Egg rolls!

    Man, I had a hankering for Pho! This man moved to Chicagoland almost 3 years ago and sorry to say the Pho there doesn't hold a candle to that found in the OC! I quickly ordered a Pho Ga (chicken) and some egg rolls! The Pho came out first with a bunch of fresh sprouts, basil, and lime wedges- in went all of it into the Pho! Hot, tasty, and OH so filling! And the egg rolls? Awesome- just awesome! Want a great bowl of Pho at a fair price? Here's your spot!

    Review 45/365 Day Challenge We came here for Brunch for the 1st time w a great Gfren and her hubby along w my hubby and daughter 05.04.25 It was 9:30 am and we were seated right away. What we ordered ~ #1 PHỞ TÁI FILET MIGNON/Rare filet mignon. Is always the way to go. The broth was delicious, clean and good, the noodles were plentiful and the filet mignon meat. ~ # 23 Bone w Meat was a must and the icing to our pho bowl. It came w 2 huge rib bone. The meat slid off the bone. So tender, juicy and yummy. Associate are friendly, nice & service was great along fast. Restaurant is big spacious and simple decor. Only i door seating. Located in Same plaza as 85 Degrees. Lots of parking available. I'd definitely return again and highly recommended.

    Haven't been in a while but thought of them for a quick take out meal. The restaurant is dated but clean. The service was good. I ordered the lemongrass beef noodle and a couple spring rolls. The flavor is good and the portions are HUGE! I couldn't finish! I would definitely go back for another meal. My husband had the chicken pho and he said it is tasty and again a HUGE portion!

    Mmm this place is so well rounded. I can see why they have several locations around OC. The broth is delicious and the meats are soft and plentiful in each bowl you order. The service is amazing! I really love this place especially because it's worth noting. I really love that there's a lot of parking and you could walk around a little bit to digest after in this very interesting plaza.

    Grilled pork vermicelli bowl with a side of fish sauce.
    Jedi B.

    The vermicelli bowl had fresh vegetables and tender, savory charbroiled pork. There was a bit more fat sections on the pork slices than I would have preferred. I lightly drizzle them with fish sauce to enhance the flavors. The fresh mint leaves balance the otherwise smokey profile of the dish. There is a variety of textures and flavors from the egg rolls, roasted peanuts, pickled carrots, and fresh cucumbers that gives the entire dish an interesting (and satisfying!) flavor. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu options. The place is clean albeit with the presence of a rogue fly. There is plenty of parking, even though shared with other businesses.

They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

    Welcome to Day 2 of OC Food Journals, where I try a new place every day so you don't have to…read more Today's stop was Loi's Kitchen, and honestly, this review is a little overdue. I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

    We had initially passed Oc & Lau Restaurant a few months back when we were getting dessert nearby…read more We were definitely intrigued by the amount of people waiting outside and could see through the window all the food on the table. After a quick look at the menu, we knew this was someplace we would enjoy. We were in town on a Sunday evening and knew we wanted to check it out. With the two locations, we got on the Yelp waitlist knowing they were both nearby each other. (Our mistake was not getting on the waitlist earlier, so we did have a wait a good while.). We had perused other Yelper reviews and had a list in mind of what we wanted. Definitely take the time to look at the menu beforehand because it is long and extensive. Right off the bat, out of razor clams! Bummer. Nonetheless, we still got a bunch of things. * Grilled King Scallop with Fish Eggs $27 - Nicely cooked. 4/5 * Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter & Peppercorn $16 - Yum! 5/5 * Mango Squid Salad $14 - This was noted in so many reviews, and it did not disappoint. We ended up getting a second order! 5/5 * Crabs & Shrimp Fried Rice $17 - I was not a fan. It was just fried rice, nothing special. It lacked seasoning and definitely needed the accompanying sauce. 3/5 * Deep Fried Smelt Fish $15 - Another winner! I haven't seen smelt fish this large before and it was so good, we got a second order. 5/5 * Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves $14 - This came in a pot with such a delicious sauce. I would have loved some noodles or something to eat all that sauce up with. 5/5 * Spicy Seasoned Grilled Shrimp $17 - This shrimp were a good size and did not disappoint. 4/5 * Escargot with Tamarind $15 - Our least favorite of the escargots we ordered. It wasn't bad, just okay. 3/5 * Complimentary dessert - I have no idea what was in this che beyond coconut cream and rice, but it was pretty good. I probably would have ordered it. Service was okay. Because they are so busy, they definitely do try to rush you out. We were still eating and someone came and brought dessert to our table. Mind you, we were literally still putting food in our mouths and I looked at the waitress perplexed. We told her we were still eating and going to order more, so she took the dessert away. There's definitely this anxiousness about the staff to turn over the tables, which I get with the long lines. But I think they could have addressed it a bit differently by simply asking instead of assuming.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

My Pho with Rare Steak had a flavorful broth, and the meat itself was tender. However, I felt there was a little too much ginger in the broth. The ginger flavor was quite strong and overpowered the traditional pho aroma and taste. It wasn't bad by any means, but I think the broth would be even better if the ginger were toned down. With a more balanced amount of ginger, it could be excellent. Also, the broth a bit sweet. One thing I really appreciated was that they served culantro with pho. That's definitely a plus for me, as not many pho restaurants offer culantro, and I think it adds a great touch to the dish. The staff was also friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, I enjoyed the pho and would definitely be interested in trying their other dishes next time.
