Pho Nic - Noodles Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Been here a few times already for lunch already and it's a good reliable places when we want something comforting and filling! The bowls always comes out consistently presentable too, especially for such quick service. And I've come only for lunch and so far always lucky to get a table We usually order the Hainan chicken rice and one pho to share between the two of us, and that ends up being the perfect amount. The chicken is soft, the rice is flavorful. The soup also hits the spot, especially before adding all the fresh herbs and bean sprouts on the side. Portions are quite generous, the flavors clean and comforting, and everything arrives fast without feeling rushed. Now our easy lunch rotation spot! read more

The food was on point here! My chicken pho was impeccable. From the silky sliced pieces of chicken perfectly cooking on the side to the perfectly cooked pho noodles. Everyone loved their beef and special pho. Sizzling steak and surf and turf were also well loved. Fries and garlic wings were also delicious and good the next day. Service was amazing. Ambiance also good. Thank you Pho Nic! read more

This will be my go-to for Hainanese Chicken! The dish is more of Singaporean-Malaysian style. It's similar to Ipoh restaurant in Alhambra but it's less oily, which I prefer. The food came out super fast, like less than 5 minutes after I ordered. They are super packed during weekday lunch. It seems like lots of workers come here during their lunch time. Weekends of course has long line, unfortunately. read more

I've been to Pho Nic and couple times and tried both their Pho Nic (classic beef pho with rib bone) and the Pho Chicken. Overall, both are good choices if you're craving a bowl of hot Pho, especially on a cold day. The broth in both bowls was well-seasoned and rich. The meat on the beef rib bone was tender and came off the bone almost on its own while the chicken (even the white meat) was really juicy and tender. The service both times I went was great. Waiters were attentive and food came out decently quickly. The store has a fair amount of tables inside only, but turnover is pretty quick so there isn't really a long wait. read more

This is my go-to lunch spot near work. The wait times to get seated, place an order, and eat are pretty short, so I can easily grab a bowl of pho and finish within my one-hour lunch break. The only downside is the parking situation. Since it's located in the same plaza as Costco, finding a parking spot can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. I appreciate that they take Apple Pay and offer a QR code system for ordering, which makes the whole process quick and convenient. It feels very modern and efficient. So far, I've mainly stuck to their Hainan chicken and rice and the build-your-own pho, and both have been solid choices. The prices are reasonable. There are cheaper options out there, but I'd have to drive farther, and when I'm craving pho during lunch, I don't have much time to spare. read more

Pho Nic - Yummy. Lots of meat for pho combo! - Noodles Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Yelp recommended Pho Nic as I was browsing for a place to eat near Fountain Valley. They are located in a strip mall next to Costco in Fountain Valley, so expect parking to be difficult. Overall, I was disappointed. The food didn't really stand out, but it wasn't shabby either. It's okay. Hainanese Chicken Rice - 2.5/5. I have incredibly high standards for this dish, since I grew up with it and it's still my favorite. Rice is a core part of Hainanese Chicken Rice, and most people miss it. Pho Nic's chicken rice is starchy, lumpy, and lacks the fragrance and taste expected of a good Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicken wasn't too bad. The poached meat is tender and has a lovely, subtle ginger and scallion flavor. But I wish there were a bit more chicken flavor. The chicken skin has a slightly rubbery texture, but it's good overall. The chicken soup isn't as clear as I would like. It has a reasonably strong star anise and clove flavor, which I don't quite like - but it's subjective, I usually prefer my chicken soup clear and has more chicken flavor. Vermicelli Bowl - 3/5. We had it with tofu and shrimp. It's not bad. The tofu, the dish's highlight, was deep-fried to a nice crisp. Overall, the dish was okay. read more

Pho Nic - Hainanese Chicken Rice - Noodles Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

this place is mid. I had really high hopes because my aunt kept raving about it to my mom. Unfortunately, my aunt let us down with this one. It is located in a busy shopping center due to its proximity to costco. There is a lot of parking, but it gets packed. When you walk in they greet you immediately and direct you to a table. The restaurant was packed. I thought this was a good sign. I also like to ask the staff what is popular and their go to menu item - unfortunately, the server we had provided no input or helpful insight. We went with their Hainanese Chicken rice plate and pho. The food came out so quickly we barely finished ordering what we wanted and it was coming to the table. Pho was okay. Soup was bland , but thankfully it came with that dipping sauce because that was the only source of flavor. Rice place was more of the same note. Bland rice boiled with chicken water and chicken that you needed to drench in the sauces they provide. overall, I probably would not go again. The problem for them being located in fountain valley is there's a better spot at every corner. read more

Pho Nic - chicken rice - Noodles Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

I met a friend here at lunchtime on a weekday. When we arrived the place was packed with only one table available which we snagged. Our waiter was all business, understandably too busy for friendly chit chat; just get the order and quickly move on. My friend was in the mood for pho, which is why we were here (my friend proclaimed the pho here was fantastic) but I wasn't in the mood for anything soupy or noodley. I just ordered a couple of appetizers - deep fried eggrolls and cream cheese wontons - along with a Thai tea. The Thai tea was perfection; it doesn't get any better than that. The egg rolls were crunchy-delicious and the wontons were equally crunchy-delicious if not more so. The sweet and sour sauce was superb and enhanced the flavor of the wontons as I gave each one a good dip. While I might not have gotten the full Pho Nic experience, I can say that their appetizers are excellent. read more

I have tried Pho Nic I think 3 times , they are very shrewd to advertise on Instagram, it works wonder, their beautiful videos got my attention, chicken marinated? 12 hours, etc...well reality is different. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the location is great, near Costco and LA Fitness, parking is fine but you cannot eat any of that, the chicken Pho was 90% watery, zero taste, I had to fix it and literally forced myself to eat it, I had the Hainan chicken the 1st time, it was also nothing like what the real thing in Chinese restaurants . The chicken wings was very good so that's why I rate this 3 stars. I was sad when Seafood world went out of business, I told them to advertise on yelp, and Instagram, tiktok, they had no idea what social medias were and went under, it was the best Chinese resto. I had been fooled by so many bad restaurants bc of nice videos and PHO NIC ad was so amazing, I was convinced it had to be true. The yelp cops removed 3 of my reviews, even Instagram used to harass me w their woke and ban, fact check whatever then deleted my account w almost 10,000 followers, 20,000 posts I had for 10 years but since trump reelection, they stop all that harassment. I hope it was not done by Haley, I met her recently and thought the world of her, she spoke to me, I sure was not a unserious or disrespectful person that needed to be taught manners. I would be very shocked if this review is not deleted. I had written a review of LA Fitness, 24 hours, they really need more help but in light of the 3 deletions, I would wait and see. I'm a respectful person and my followers like my reviews they are accurate and usually well researched for relevant info, I think this one might be deleted so it gets to a point it's getting to be annoying. It seems to me Yelp bosses like it short and everything to be 4,5 stars, I'm OK, you are OK, food is good, etc. everything else is not politically correct, it's insulting to accuse me of community violations. Many of my social media buddies had given up on Yelp and moved to trip advisor and Google a long time ago.

I think I am addicted to their hainan chicken plate. First I order the goi cuon appetizer (best in class). - Dipping sauce is a little thin but that's ok - Mix in sriarcha sauce - A great way to start your meal Then the hainan chicken comes out next. - I always get double the scallion sauce, and 1 red chili (no soy sauce - just too salty) - The portion of chicken is generous; garnished with sesame oiled sliced scallions, 2 slices of fresh cucumber and 2 slices of tomato - The rice is made with broth (SO GOOD); it's a loose rice (eat it with a spoon) - It also comes with a small side soup with scallions (it might be made of chicken boullion, not all bone broth) They always oblige me with more soup. I used to order the large $4 bowl. But now tryna order the smaller $2 bowl. And they are kind enough to give me some do chua (a pickled element). Place is always clean, service is solid. They have other dishes I would like to try one day, after I OD on the Hainan Chicken. - read more

Reliable Lunch Spot - Great Hainanese Chicken Rice & Solid Pho Came in for lunch with a group of 6 on a Saturday and only had a short wait, pretty impressive since Pho Nic is usually hopping. The Hainanese Chicken Rice was the star of the show, super tender chicken, fragrant oily rice, and that addictive ginger and chilli sauce. Honestly one of the best I've had around Orange County. The Pho Combination and Pho Shrimp & Veggie were very tasty too, broth was flavorful, and the portions are generous. Deep-fried egg rolls were crispy and perfect for sharing. Service was quick and friendly, and with the 18% service charge already added for our party of 6, everything still felt reasonably priced for the quality. If you're in Fountain Valley and craving Hainanese chicken rice or a solid bowl of pho for lunch, this is an easy recommendation. Already planning my next visit! read more

Solid spot for a variety of viet and viet fusion dishes! Popping during lunch and dinner time! Even on a weekday 3 dishes can be $45, but we are super full Spring rolls 4/5 Not too skimpy on the pork and not too heavy on the vermicelli, they don't break apart when you bite into them. the sauce is pretty good, a nice balance of hoisin + peanut butter. I like adding sriracha in mine. I just don't like bean sprouts, so I'll have to request them to remove them from the rolls. Hainan chicken $18 or so after tax ; 4/5 Lots of protein! I was quite full after I ate all the chicken. Rice isn't my fav compared to other spots, it's less chicken-y than I'd like. Sauces are fine, my fav one is the soy and ginger one. Their spicy one packs quite a punch! For the price, this dish is solid and very consistent. Garlic wings 4/5 Got this on another occasion and they're quite tasty. Not super small nor super fried, nice balance of flavor without needing additional carbs. Sizzling rice with steak/chicken 4/5 Great to share and lots of flavor! A better version of pepper lunch. Beef pho 4/5 Can choose 4 meats for ~$14 is a steal in this economy. It reminds me of the pho I used to eat when I was younger. Bae really likes it, it's solid for the price with lots of noodles and lots of beef. Tofu spring rolls 3/5 I was curious, but these are not my cup of tea. The tofu isn't marinaded and is pretty bland. Wonton noodle soup 2/5 This sucks lol the soup is nothing like LDK or anything I've had. The noodles are sad and not that eggy, even the wontons are very small and lacks the white pepper flavor. Pls skip lol I believe the automatic tip suggestion is set to 22%, make sure to double check that before paying for the bill. This is even for 2 ppl! read more

Hands down! Pho Nic is added to my favorite legit pho places in the OC. It is located in the same plaza as Costco Fountain Valley and I ate here during lunch after my Costco run. Despite dining solo, I was immediately seated at a small table. The waitress handed me the menu and I was in the mood for something light. I ordered a vegan pho in vegan broth. Alongside their vegan broth, the veggie pho can also be ordered with chicken or beef pho broth. Although it was pretty busy on a Saturday, my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The presentation is impressive and the ingredients were perfectly portioned. The vegan broth is very therapeutic and the vegetables were crisp. The tofu was sliced in rectangular shapes and was very firm. How I wish I could finish everything in one sitting today, so I opted to pay at the counter and take the rest of my order to go. Pho Nic is definitely one for the books! read more

Not sure what has happened but this place has gone down hill. It took so long to get service and the veggies they gave us for the pho were literally dead.

We came on their buy one hainan chicken rice dish and get the second one half off special day. Pro : Service was quick and polite. Chicken was fresh and moist Meal presentation was on point. Soup that came with dish was okay. Restaurant is clean. Cons: The Hainan chicken was drenched in sesame oil so I don't know if one could even call it Hainan chicken. It should have been called boiled sesame oil chicken. Really no taste other than sesame oil. Dark soy sauce was basically soy sauce in sesame oil which just further added more sesame flavor to the chicken dish. Scallion oil sauce also blah. Pepper ginger sauce also blah. Rice was bland and not fragrant and flavorful like rice cooked in chicken broth should be. This is my first time eating at Pho Nic and it personally it doesn't warrant a return visit, cause the flavors just weren't there. read more

Craving pho today and decided to try this place and so glad we did. The pho soup was flavorful but a little salty to our liking. The beef in the soup was super tender. The star of the day was the unexpected Hainan Chicken plate. The chicken was cooked perfectly. And no bones!!! So much easier to eat and their scallions/ginger sauce was a perfect pairing (even asked for more)! The food came out real quick too!! Got there around 11am and it was already half full!! Staff were nice and you pay at the counter after you finish your meal. Super quick. Cute decor on the walls too!!

I went on a hainan chicken rampage a few weeks ago and Pho Nic has the best one, even know the name of the restaurant indicates another food that they also serve here. Environment - clean with lots of tables. I love that this doesn't look like a hole in the wall but a well respected establishment. I've been to my fair share is pho restaurants and this is definitely a step above. Bright light, screens, mirrors. Service - never had a complaint here about their service and everyone is just so nice! Food - Hainan chicken - best around and you get three stopping sauces. I always get this dish when I come here. The chicken is smooth and moist, even the white meat. The rice is flavorful as well. Pho - standard pho with the soup in the lighter side. I love hearing this for my daughter and they're very accommodating and have given me scissors before to cut the noodles lol Some stone pot meat dish - super good! This is the best place to get Hainan chicken. Pho is just the cherry on top. Will be back soon! read more

Wow wow! Very cute place with a really cute menu of drinks. Portions are very large. I had the ribeye - and asked for the sauce separately to manage gluten issues and it wasn't a problem at all.

We came back to give them another chance. Pho Broth is both cold and salty. Their remedy is to bring a paper cup of hot water. Their vermicelli noodle is broken stale and cold: imagine your long spaghetti noodle strands broken into macaroni size pieces. There is only one other party and 3 waiters chatting, and they still cant give proper service. The ambiance is sad and empty with metal chairs. There is not enough customer flow for food to be fresh. read more
