My wife and I visited Pho May for the first time this week. We arrived for dinner around 6:00 p.m. and were immediately seated, as the place was mostly empty except for a small party of six. A few more guests came in after us, but most of the tables remained open. We ordered the #7 Shrimp Spring Rolls ($8.95) to start. They were edible, but the texture was a little stale and chewy, almost like they had been made earlier in the day and refrigerated a bit too long. Compared to spring rolls we've had at other Vietnamese restaurants, these fell short. My wife ordered the #24 Beef Pho with Rare Steak ($13.95), while I had the #23 Beef Pho Combo (14.95). Both bowls were served with a fairly bland broth and noticeably less meat than we're used to seeing at a similar price point elsewhere. That said, the service was excellent. Our server stayed on top of everything and checked in several times to make sure we were happy with our meal. The restaurant was also very clean and organized. Overall, the experience was fine, but the food itself just didn't leave much of an impression. We left feeling like we probably don't need to scratch the Pho May itch again anytime soon. read more

Food: I ordered the rare steak (bo) pho, and the kids got chicken (ga) pho. The portions felt a bit small, and the broth is a bit tame, but overall I was pleased. Service: Quick and friendly. I ordered via Yelp and they had the order ready in short order. Ambiance: They have a nice eating area with plenty of seating, and the place is clean. Parking can be a pain, but that's normal in that shopping center. In all I was pleased and would certainly return. :) read more

Pho May - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

In my opinion, this is a great dining option for business travelers staying at a hotel within walking distance. That's because the food is very good and at a decent price. I was in town on business and didn't want to drive to find food, if I didn't have to. The service is competent and quick. As I said the food was very good and I ate twice here. The first meal was for dinner and I ordered the Vermicelli bowl with shrimp, fried egg roll and pork. The next day I ate lunch, ordering a pork Banh Mi. Both meals were very tasty. Definitely recommend you give this place a try and see for yourself if it's good. read more

Pho May is a casual Vietnamese eatery in a plaza with plenty of parking. Came here on a weekday for lunch and it wasn't too busy. We were greeted upon entering and were told to pick a table. The space is clean with a good number of tables. There was mainstream music playing on the speakers which we didn't mind since it wasn't very loud. We ordered the Crispy Green Beans, Beef Combo Noodle Soup (Pho), and Spicy & Sour Vermicelli Soup. The green beans came out very quickly and they were hot and crispy. The Sriracha Ranch that it came with was more of an aioli than ranch, but we liked the flavor. It was creamy with a slight kick from the Sriracha. Both Noodle should came out together shortly after. We weren't too impressed by the Beef Combo Noodle Soup broth as we felt like it didn't have much depth, but it tasted better after adding lime. The beef was tender and seemed to be good quality. The tendon was soft and better than expected. Wish there was more than one piece in the dish. The Hot and Sour Vermicelli Soup was solid. We liked the broth as-is but we also added lime which added more tang. There was a lot of seafood in this dish -- shrimp, squid rings, imitation crab, etc. Overall, giving Pho May a 4/5. It is a good spot for Vietnamese food. We enjoyed everything that we ordered and the staff are nice. Prices are also reasonable. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for Vietnamese food. read more

Bad service from younger asian guy that wears glasses. Walked in here on my lunch break and two groups came after me. I sat myself down and he completely ignored me and handed the two groups menus before me. I decided to grab myself a menu anyway. After that, he took the order of the girl that came after me ??? . His service really put a bad taste in my mouth. I left. I won't be coming here for a while. My time was wasted. read more

My sisters, dad and I came here for a late dinner the night before I took an early flight back to ATL. I wish we had gone to a better pho place. Pho May is in a small strip mall. Free parking can easily be found in the lot shared by all of the nearby businesses. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated by our server. The lighting in the dining area is a little too dim for me, since I like to clearly see what I'm eating. The restaurant isn't that big, and it was clean. Ordering was quick, and we didn't have to wait long at all for our food to start being served to us. There were five of us, and no one got their food at the same time. I had ordered a bowl of pho - Beef Combo Noodle Soup - which included steak, brisket, tendon and meatball. The amount of meat and noodles that I got in the bowl were decent and they tasted just ok; however, the broth lacked flavor. I had to add more hoison and sriracha sauces, and take my sisters' and dad's fresh basil leaves in order to get some discernible flavor going in this bowl. I would definitely not order pho here again based on this dining experience. The friendliness and efficiency of the server is what helped me to give an overall rating of 3 stars. read more

Food was good. Staff friendly and helpful since it was my first time there. Very nice ambience.

My husband has been going here for 2 years during his lunch breaks & have always been satisfied with customer service & food quality until a couple of days ago. He ordered this dish, beef chowmein. As he dug in his food, he found this napkin in the middle of his dish. The waitress apologized for the inconvenience, but apparently, the chef has an attitude problem and did not even acknowledge the mishap. Do better Pho May this is simply disgusting. You have lost a loyal customer. read more

First time today & it was dead given the holiday. However, the service was great, and so was the food! We got the beef combo pho and it was delicious! Located at a mini plaza in cypress, there's plenty of parking and lots of food options as well. The vibe was chill, soft music and the place is a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Also, their menu has the alcoholic drinks labeled as discontinued. This is an FYI for anyone wondering if they serve alcohol :) Very nice spot, good food and service. I would go back read more

Came in and the server wasn't there to greet us but brought us menus afterwards. To be honest she didn't really check up on us so when I got up to ask for water I realized she was the only server working and was busy mopping up water. I kinda felt bad for her because she seemed to be under a lot of stress and kept apologizing to me. The restaurant itself just seemed dirty because of the water overflow, I asked her if there was something wrong with the pipes but she said it was just the soda machine that was broken and leaking. I ended up leaving her a decent tip despite her not checking up on us. Like I said I felt bad for her but definitely not coming in for a while with the water overflow. To me it just seems unsanitary and like a safety hazard for everyone. read more

Eat there and we both had to run to the restroom after we were done. Not exactly sure what caused it, but I love pho and eat it all the time, never got this reaction before until now. Same for my son, he got the runs right after we were done eating there. I think I wouldn't want to try that place again. Arrive was tip notch, ambiance okay. read more

Always a good experience. My parents raised my family going here and my wife and I still enjoy it. Polite, kind customer service and AMAZING quality of soup. read more

I came in and ordered to go. I waited inside, the ambiance was calm and the lighting was dimmed. I got the tendon pho and it came out within 5 minutes or less. The ladies were super welcoming and pleasant. I really enjoyed my pho and it was just what I needed. read more

Bad service, we are a family of 4 and they messed up on our order. We received 3 appetizers and we only ordered one. Then we ended eating 2, no problem in paying for those. But by the 3rd one I had to complain that we didn't order that one. Then our food came but my husbands food didn't... so guess what we had to place another order. It's fine but by now we are waiting for refills on our drinks. By then and after asking 2x's I was told the kitchen was busy??!? For what??!! I wasn't aware they cooked water and coke??? We will never be back. Ps: to the waiter it helps if you actually write the orders down instead of trying to remember read more

I called to buy a baguette. they said $2 for a long one. The baguette is so small. We got ripped off. Do not order a baguette from this place. Other Vietnamese restaurant, the baguette is full size read more

I wanted to try this place out since I used to come to pho craft (the pho place that was here before pho may). It was lunch hour on a weekend but we were the only customers. The service was a bit slow given that we were the only people dining. It took around 30 minutes for our food to come out. Our server was nice though. The spring rolls were super good and flavorful. The papaya salad was good but a little bit too sweet for my taste. The pho was both bland and watery but super salty? I'm not sure how to describe it. The broth just tasted watered down and seem like it had lots of salt. They have a lot of the meat inside of the bowl which was good. I'm not sure if I would come back to this place for their pho but they have a lot of other dishes and noodles on their menu that I'd like to try. read more

Pho May - Plain Pho' with the crispy rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

Pho left me unfulfilled. The flavor of the broth was flat and used a lot of powder or beef seasoning for flavoring and it was definitely missing the aromatics of traditional pho. This pho is not true Vietnamese style, instead it's a very westernized concept and flavor. Broth was also on the salty side like what many reviewers mentioned. Do not recommend. REMEMBER: broth is missing the very important aromatics pho should always have! read more

I felt like pho, after looking at the menu their bun sounded good and that's what I ordered. It was very good.

The food gave a reminiscent taste of the Vietnamese original taste, it eclipsed other restaurant that I experienced, and could be count as one of the best in my opinion. The employee gave great recommendation and they're great on adapting to problems. Area of the restaurant gave off different vibes which could suit to different needs of everyone such as work place, a tranquility liking, or a classic restaurant vibe. read more

I have visited twice. The pho is decent. The herbs are fresh. And the first visit service was good, he was attentive and courteous. Second visit, I ordered rice dishes to eat with rice and they were decent. But service was not good. I asked for straws 3 different times, the third time she gave me one straw and I repeatedly asked for two. She acknowledged each time so I'm sure she heard and understood me. Also, the first visit when I asked for Sprite, a can was given to me that was accompanied by a cup with ice, the second time server asked if I wanted ice after she put the can down. It took a while to get our check after we finished eating. The restaurant was not busy, there was only one other table. There was not a communication barrier although she had an accent. I will not be returning and the party that came with me won't either. It's unfortunate, I really wanted to give this place business since the other businesses did not survive this location. read more

Would not recommend the pho here. Ordered the pho dac biet and found the broth super bland. Also my bowl had a lot of fatty cuts of meat and no tripe which usually comes in the dac biet. The redeeming qualities was that their veggies and herbs were fresh and that the place is clean compared to some pho shops I've been to. Definitely appreciated that but it's not enough to warrant a returning visit unfortunately. Come here if it's a last minute resort or if you can't drive further out to Westminster. read more

This place is horrible! !! I was staying at the hotel next-door to it and went over to get some food for dinner. I ordered the "House Special"combination rice. The rice was dry and the shrimp was chewy and the chicken was nonexistent. My poor dog wouldn't even eat any of it. That was 16+ dollars down the drain. Only put one pack of soy sauce in the bag. I called them three times to tell them about it, but no one would answer the phone. read more

Pho May is nice and cozy from the size to location, to color scheme. The restaurant has padded seating for booths and chairs, and sports a warm brown design with a clean wood finish. The food was decent and the service was great. As a matter of fact, the service was instantaneous. Just what I was looking for on my short lunch break. I would come back here. Thanks again! read more

This is my second 5 star review just because I love this place so much. Huge shout out to our server who seems to be here everyday and always giving us the best service. We come here sometimes twice a week because I love it so much! read more

Pho May - 2 Brisket Pho (#25) Egg rolls (#8) - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, California

Had lunch here today. I was craving for some hot pho. I didn't know pho craft changed to pho may. Sad to see the change probably due to Covid19 Pandemic. But at least this new ownership keeps the pho in the area as is needed. The Brisket pho was ample with meat slices. Broth was good. I also ordered the tofu spring rolls. It was okay. If you just want to fill the need for some pho and eggrolls, then this a good enough place to have it. Support small businesses because it supports the community. Thank you for reading my review.
