    First time here today, and I "love" it! There's a reason why it's called Pho Lovers! Wow! The broth, particularly, was flavorful and delicious. The veggies were fresh, and they slightly blanche the bean sprouts which I love. Portions were plentiful. I got the steak pho, and my husband got the back bones ribs pho. We also got the spring rolls, and they were good. Their iced coffee was yummy too! It will keep you up and alert. Hahaha. Atmosphere is okay. I would come just for the food not the ambiance. Service was okay. The food came out quickly which was great because we were hungry. I've been to the one in Fountain Valley, but this one was better in taste as far as the food goes. I recommend this one in Westminster!

    Awesome Vietnamese food at reasonable prices. Service is fast. I mean super fast. We had two types of pho and shakin beef and also their shrimp rolls. All great. Pho is $15-$17. Shaking beef is $17.

    First time there and place wasnt very crowded with tons of seating. Place was very clean and workers were very nice to me. I got the combo pho and oxtail side. Pho was delicious and oxtail was very good as well, it was super tender falls off the bone. I will be going back again

    After my doctor's appointment, we were feeling hungry and craving something warm and comforting--pho seemed like the perfect choice. The service was excellent; the staff seated us immediately and took our orders without delay. I went with my usual, Pho Tai, while my husband opted for the Pho Dac Biet. The restaurant had a typical Vietnamese vibe, complete with Vietnamese music playing in the background. It hit the spot!

    This place has only one size and thats large! The broth is clean and noodles chewy. They give plenty of meat. Service is attentive. Place is spacious and clean. I'm surprised this location isnt that busier. I just wish their raw meat was sliced instead of minced up and there's more option for sizes. The large is too much for me. So I would only come here if I'm super hungry

    Went here with my friend. She got the oxtail pho and I got the steak. The place was very clean, got seated right away. The place is well decorated, even the menus are chic!!! The pho was very flavorful and I was stuffed. My friend said that the oxtail was the best she had and was very tender. We had an amazing time, everyone was excellent here. Highly recommended

    Great customer service and food came out quick. Thank you Bi and everyone here for the wonderful service.

    Large Oxtail Bowl (To Duoi Bo)  $18.00
    Flora W.

    I visited Pho Lovers in Westminster with my family after a fun day of exploring! Pho soup sounded like the perfectly warm and hearty soup we needed to end our day on a great note. We got x3 a Steak, Brisket, Fatty Flank, Tendon, Tripe, Beef Ball Pho (Tai Chin Gau Gan Sach Bo Vien) which is $19.00 each + 1 Large Oxtail Bowl (To Duoi Bo) for $18.00 to share between the four of us. The soup was flavorful and tasted great! I did wish the soup was served HOT like I'm used to at Pho restaurants, though the soup became warm very quickly. The Oxtail was made every well. It was tender and had just the right bite to it. We did ask for an order of spring rolls, but our waiter told us they weren't making any more spring rolls for the rest of the night. I later saw other waiters bring out 1, 2, and 3 spring roll dishes about 20-30 minutes into our meal. I was a little disappointed, but what the hey - thinking positively, everything else was delicious. Overall, Pho Lovers is a solid place to visit if you're craving pho. I saw lots of families here as well. This restaurant is located right next to other competing places in the plaza, so there are lots of choices. In Westminster, you're bound to find a great place - Pho Lovers just may not be the place for me, but I am thankful for the experience and food for the night!

    Got the #11, pho with steak, tripe, tendon. The broth was good, light and tasty. A little salty but the lime juice balanced it out. Iced Coffee is nice and strong. The tendon was so tender, I wish I had more. First time trying and will come back again. I like how they offer satay sauce on the side.

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!

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 garlic butter is always a safe choice as it's savory and sweet. It had a strong garlic flavor, but the butter seemed pretty light. The fries they came with were also very crispy. Very lightly salted to bring out sweetness of the dipping sauce. The egg yolk flavor was very unique. It indeed tasted as if someone hardened a salty egg yolk and molded it into a chicken shape. While it's not my favorite of the day due to making my mouth dry, it was very interesting to try and I was very surprised by how accurate the flavor is. My husband enjoyed this one way more than I did. The garlic noodles were pretty average. I think this is ok to skip, I just had a pretty strong craving for garlic noodles at the time and couldn't help myself. Overall, 10/10 would go again when I'm in the area. I'm a sucker for fried chicken

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.
