Was feeling like having pho so was pleasantly surprised to find "Pho Rose" as one of the 2nd floor food court options at the Main Place Mall. Prices were reasonable and the offered a surprisingly big menu of Vietnamese cuisine items. They offer 6 beef broth noodle soup options, 5 chow mein and rice options, 4 Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) options, 6 appetizers options (spring rolls, egg rolls, popcorn chicken, fish balls, calamari, French fries) and bottle/can drinks along with Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai Iced Tea. I ordered and paid at the counter for the 1. Pho Signature - $15.99 - Rare Steak, short ribs, meatballs. You get a pager and it rang rather quickly that my order was ready for pickup. The pho came out in a plastic bowl with single-use plastic spoon and wooden chopsticks. There were usually Pho accompaniments in a small Styrofoam tray. : the lime, bean sprouts, jalapenos, hoisin and sriracha packets, as well as a small sauce container of chili oil. The pho broth was tasty. The short rib was soft and easy to eat off the bone. There was actually a lot of meat provide with lots of rare beef (tai) slices and a few beef balls (bo vien). Noodle portion was fair (esp. since I prefer less noodles), though I think most others might want more noodles. Overall, really glad I found this place to satify my pho craving! read more

This restaurant is nestled into a food court location on the 2nd floor of the Santa Ana Mainplace Mall. There is plenty of nearby seating and other restaurants too. Your party will have choice of cuisines if they're not all into Vietnamese food. My shrimp and pork spring rolls were on the basic but still tasty side. It came with some picked carrots and daikon radish on the side with peanut sauce. The staff was friendly and gave me a side baggie of Thai basil and cilantro to add flavor to my rolls. They also had some delicious looking pho and other dishes. My food was ready fast. Good spot for a bite while shopping at the mall or to go. If they stopped using shredded iceberg lettuce and added some herbs (mint, cilantro) or other toppings to their spring rolls I'd revise to 5 stars. read more

The place is delicious. I only speak for the Com plate and the popcorn chicken. I wanted to try something new that wasn't part of the usual experience at Main Place. I know being from Westminster/Garden Grove, I wasn't expecting what I am used to, but this place plays up to par. Please be advised, it took a while for my order to come out. They made my food fresh made to order. I definitely would come back to this spot again. read more

Great food and friendly service. We came by during dinner time /around 5:30pm. The store locates in the 2nd floor of MainPlace food court. My husband got the filet mignon noodles and I got the beef fried rice. Both dishes were delicious and huge portion. The meat was tender and the so flavorful. Would definitely come back here to try more dishes. The cashier was friendly and really patient with us as it was our first time so we asked lots of questions. read more

FINALLY! An authentic delicious Vietnamese spot that is close to me. Let me tell you something - I am a picky one when it comes to my pho and banh mi, and this place feels JUST like home. Everything is freshly made and delicious! I've had the banh mi twice now, they give you a generous amount of meat, pate, butter, and veggies served on a French roll. It's absolutely yummy. Today I also got the pho special, the broth was the right balance of sweet and salty, just how I like it. The rare steak was already cooked in the broth, so it wasn't served rare but I'll ask for it on the side next time. I ate it super fast so wasn't able to get a photo. Needless to say though, I'll definitely be back here again and think I've found my go-to spot for Vietnamese food! They also have other dishes - appetizers like popcorn chicken, calamari, and more, and rice/noodle plates. I'll definitely give those a try next time. Great to see a family owned Vietnamese spot such as this one open up at Mainplace! read more

It's so great to see a new pho/Vietnamese restaurant coming back to the MainPlace Mall since the other one just closed during the pandemic. The owner Rose and her fellow employees are very kind and attentive every time when I come by for a quick lunch break. They never disappoint me with the food and service. They basically have ALMOST everything: pho, rice dishes, banh mi sandwiches, boba, etc. Very great quality and delicious food!

What an interesting little gem tucked into the mall food court. My buddy said no go if there wasn't an asian in sight, fortunately there was and we gave this place a go. Out of all the pho restaurants I know in OC, I put this place as #2. If the broth can be meatier/beefier and if there was lime instead of lemon, this place would tie with first. If you're in the mood for pho, this place won't disappoint. read more

Stopped by The Main Place Mall on Sunday and found a new Vietnamese restaurant at food court. Not really hungry after a lot of snack during shopping time but the menu got me. Really good Rare Beef Pho and Popcorn chicken. Pho broth is really tasty, it's surprised from a food court restaurant. Popcorn chicken is another thumb up , fresh and crunchy not dry at all and well seasoned and not oily at all. Kids got calamari and french fries without any complaint. Quick service, just waited around 5mins and all the foods came out at the same time. definitely will come back whenever I go to the Mainplace Mall again. read more
