Came here on a Saturday evening with two workers sitting/hanging out. When they see us, they pointed to the tables and we just seat ourselves. ... Ordered: Bun Rieu.... bun rieu is one of my favorite dishes and this place does not know how to make bun rieu. The color of the broth was yellow, there was hardly any tomatoes. ... and tasted like food coloring with MSG... disgusting. The noodles were hard, tasted old and like they were left out for a while and dried out.. Do not recommend ordering. .. Chao Ca.... I never knew chao was prepared sweet. They gave a decent amount of fish, but that was about it. The taste was off, it tasted sweet, made me wonder if they used sweet rice on accident.. or they just put MSG in everything ... not worth messing with your taste buds... Obviously unsatisfied with anything we orderrd, my boyfriend and I opt to try their pho too.... yeah, not the best pho I've ever had.. nothing stands out, meat portions were little. Not flavorful and tasty. ... could definitely taste the MSG.. we literally felt like we had to force ourselves to eat to not waste the food. ... :( As far as service, it's whatever. We asked for our check they bring it, we asked them to come to the table for water refills n handed them money and instead of just ringing us up, I mean you're already at our table, the guy points to go to the register.... sorry but little things like that irk me, you can't go the extra mile? ... therefore, no tip. .. horrible food n mediocre/rude service. No thank you. read more

I used to know Pho Thanh as the place to go to for late night Pho. It hasn't really changed and the quality is just the same. Food: I ordered the Pho Tai Nam and there was little beef and a lot of noodles. There was a strange odor that either came from the restaurant itself or the noodles, but nothing was truly appetizing. The Pho is 50% off but the price came to $5 per bowl because they mark up their Pho to about $9.99. It is a common business "tactic" used by many restaurants in the area. Service: You are served your food and that is about it! This is common for many Pho/Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Ambiance: I think this part grossed me out the most, hence, the two stars. When I sat down, a noodle fell on my foot and I had to wipe it off with a napkin. I have no idea where the noodle came from. The floor was dirty and the tables were grimey. There are some hole in the wall Pho places, but this one gets it for being dirty and not that appetizing. I wonder if it is because they are open all of the time and don't care much for cleanliness. read more

I only come here when I'm craving pho around 2am - 5am since it's 24 hours. Pho noodle is affordable here! It's not the best tasty pho in the world, but it's just good enough. (: It would be nice if they had better tables and chairs and maybe some relaxing music in the restaurant . read more

Best pho and service ever, they've always been so kind. I go at least once a week with my cousins it's become our favorite spot. :)

Absolutely delicious. Foot was hot and service was amazing. Quick, easy, and friendly service. Couldn't have had a better experience. Love love love! Will definitely be back! read more

Service really sucks late at 3 am but what do you expect. It's one of the few places that's open late at night. It's packed late at night with party goers. You can go at 11pm and it'll be vacant. Once the club lets out, it's freakin packed. They really should get more waiters and waitresses. It's pricier than other pho places, but it's so darn good late at night. it's not greasy and the broth is very good. The Cornish hen with rice is actually wonderful at this restaurant. The Mexican busboys can actually speak Vietnamese! Wow! They're very friendly. They know the dishes by name in Vietnamese. My boyfriend asked what something was in English, the busboy didn't understand but understood it in Vietnamese. read more

I used to come here all the time after crazy drinking binges. I'm surprised it's still 24 hours. That's an automatic 5 star because there aren't that many non-fast food places in OC that are open 24 hours. The pho is good as always but when you're drunk, you just wanna woof it down. Quick service, good food...It's as good as pho gets. I'm surprised they don't accept credit cards yet. It's been so long. One last thing, don't get the thai iced tea here. Just don't. read more

This is my favorite place to go when I'm craving phó anytime of the day. Pros: fast service, always a seat available, well written menu, and plenty of stuff for your bowl of phó. Decent price. Avg bowl of Pho and a glass of water less than $10. Cons: language barriers and sporatic service regarding refills....even for water. Typical one glass of whatever and that's it. Bathrooms needed work when I went. read more

I gave this place a little bump up because of the late night hours. Obviously, the taste of pho is always much better when you're hungry as Hell and drunk off your ass, haha. Went here sober and my fiance and I were both underwhelmed by the flavor of the pho when we weren't inebriated. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The broth is light and has some flavor and the ingredients do taste pretty fresh, but it doesn't stand out from the hundreds of other pho places in the same area. read more

I've been to Pho Thanh twice on lunch breaks....which by the way are at 3 o'clock in the morning. Therefore, the wait for our food is very short - which is great. I ordered the Pho with "trim brisket" the first time. I thought the quality was pretty good. The second visit I order the Pho Ga (requested white meat only with no skin). I was very impressed with the quality and quantity of the meat. VERY IMPRESSED. I also ordered the spring rolls (3 for $5). Also very impressed! This is a GREAT alternative for my early morning lunch. MUCH better than just rollin' through a fast food drive thru. read more

FIRST some important notes: 1. CASH ONLY!!!! 2. $0.25 for water.. yes they charge for water 3. OPEN 24 hours 4. People that work here might be sleeping when you come in.. hahaha... no joke.. if not when you come in but while your dining I usually go here with friends after work. This place is actually pretty good.... it's pretty consistent :) Don't go here if you want to be treated like royalty... come here if you want to have a great time with friends and want fast adequate service. I always order PHO GA which is your basic chicken pho! It's always 50% off too.. which is a nice bonus. Nothing special about their spring rolls.. just good. If you are vegetarian they have a great selection of items that will definitely fill your belly.... read more

I was cruising around Bolsa looking for a place to stop for lunch. I ended up here. Pho Thanh is on the back of the TK Dragon market center. Parking was easy and abundant here. The inside is typical Bolsa pho restaurant. Nothing new here. Service was very nice and prompt. The pho was OK. Not the best I have had but definitely not the worse. One surprise was the amount of meat in the pho tai. There was a lot of it. I probably had about six palm size pieces of meat there. They were cut think too. So pretty filling. Broth was OK. Drink and pho $7.80. Overall, an OK place and that I would not mind coming back to. read more

Open 24/7!! 50% off "Pho Bo" chicken noodle.VERY fast service. This place has a good amount of people 24 hours. Great for late night pho cravings! There is a bit of a language barrier with the servers but hey, what do you expect from an asian resturant. Quality/Service: A+ read more

The pho here isn't anything special but they attract lots of customers due to their half priced pho (items 14 to 17).Lacking quality rice dishes as well. They are open 24 hours a day and where else can you get a large bowl pho for 3.50? read more

Who care argue with 24 hour Pho!!! If you're a regular... they remember you, remember where you like to sit and even remember everything you order all the way down to the small plate of white onion and vinegar. The hot tea is wonderful, the fried Tofu speaks for itself. Check this place out. read more

Pricing: Excellent. Pho was 50% off. Quality: Good. The soup had more msg than I expected, but the ingredients were good. Turnaround: Good-Excellent. The pho came out practically instantly. Service: Good. Most of the servers were actually on their lunch break. For roughly $4, the pho was actually not bad and the ingredients were not skimped out on either. The soup was definitely on the salt/msg heavy side, but at least the ingredients were fresh and in ample amounts floating about in the soup. The brisket was fatter than I expected, but the steak was sliced thinly and of a good enough cut. No discoloration means fresh too. The wait was very short as befitting a pho shop with the pho coming out still al dente, but after the initial order, we did not see our server much. I could see that they were on lunch break a few tables away since we came in late around 3pm to a relatively empty restaurant. If we waved our hand though, they did come over to check up on us though so no complaints there. read more

This place ALWAYS pops in my mind when I think about Pho. One of the few 24 hr pho restaurants at the heart of little saigon Pho here is always fresh! I love the rich , full of flavor broth compared to any place else! Servers here are made up of hardworking individuals who are attentive and quick to your orders. This restaurant is also newly remodeled so everything looks clean and meets sanitary standards! Will definitely be back! read more

The food is mediocre. How come don't the employees here smile for once? Rude, inattentive, unhappy. Classic Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Can't beat the price! $3 pho that hits the spot! Obviously there's better pho places in the area but if you're craving some cheap pho and at odd hours- this is the place to go! The service is okay, which is expected. If you need help just wave your arms or something and they'll come. There's bathrooms inside too, which is a plus. The dining area is pretty roomy and the entire place is relatively clean considering. If you're hungry and have under $5 on you- this is the place to go! CASH ONLY! read more

Never coming back again. They messed up on our order and they took 45 mins to get our food. They can't even admit that they forgot to put in the order! read more

See all

This place is something I grew up eating with my parents. The prices are 50% off pho. I usually get the pho Dac Biet read more

Best pho I've ever head, from NY to LA! Very reasonably priced and great quality! We will definitely take the trip back here soon.

Not sure what's up with the negative comments but this place delivers. Tasty Pho, not incredible but great for the price. I got a small Pho Bowl for $5.25. Broth is great. This place is just a typical Vietnamese restaurant so Cash Only, don't expect customer service here. Just get in, order, eat and get out. read more

After club and party place!! Parking - Its ight Service - Its ok Food - Pretty good Price - Not bad I just like the fact its 24/7 great place to eat when your drunk ohh yeee!!! And hate its cash only... HAHA read more

This place sucks. The only reason I was even here was because Luc Dinh Ky across the street was closed. I've pretty much had better vietnamese food everywhere else I've gone in the Orange County area. The serving portions were much small too than the other restaurant that was my first choice, After me and my friends finished eating the mediocre food, I go up to the cashier to pay for our meal as is the case in most places, but then the cashier asks me what table # i was sitting on. WTF? did I serve myself my own food? I told her i dunno and "no the table # was the least of my concern when I sat down". She seemed irritated so i asked if I can tell her what I ordered to figure it out. Thankfully that worked and we were on our way. The shopping center that this restaurant sits at has 2 other restaurants that would be choices over this place. If it wasn't for the lunar new year, I would've never have had to experience this. It filled me up, but I left unsatisfied. Never again. read more

I love it here. 50% off pho which is great! Pho was really good and decent portions. I would have given it 5 stars but customer service was bad. I still do recommend it here because not only do they have good pho but their prices are great! What can beat $3 pho?!! read more

Pho Thanh - Yum!!! 50%=$3.50 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

My personal favorite beef pho place. I often go here in the dead of the night when most places are closed. It's nice that they're 24 hours. Their broth is very delicious! However, one star is taken for their terrible service. I always have to flag down a waiter, but most of them are nowhere to be found. I get the sauces myself when I need to. They will never check up on you. Another star is removed for being cash only since I find that very inconvenient. But overall, if you don't mind those inconveniences, it's a good pho place. Very cheap too since some pho bowls (like the pho tai) are 50% off! read more

Perks of the place: open late and food is ok. Not the best pho but you get what you pay for. (Super cheap btw) Cons: the service here is horrible. And you have to pay for water (not really a big deal but really now...) My friend and I arrived and the girl working gave us our menus. Not even a minute later she comes back and asks us what we want, even though we hadn't even opened/touched the menu yet. We told her we weren't ready, and she rudely said ok while giving us a look and walked away. We ordered when we were ready and thankfully it wasn't her who brought out our food because I couldn't stand her. This place would have gotten 2.5-3 stars if the service was better. read more

You get exactly what you pay for. Slightly cheaper pho for cheaper quality. A small is $4.50 and a large is $5.00. They are open 24 hours and for that price it gets the job done. Don't come here looking for the best pho of your life. Service is ok and if they are busy they will even sometimes forget about you. Most of the time the pho comes fast though. I keep coming back here because it is cheap and fast. Cash only. read more

Bad service and waiter is rude.. My friend was just asking where is his order politely, then the waiter yells at him "What's your order?". And my friend was just like, I ordered a #7 sir.. Waiter was like, you ordered and you dont know what is #7? Like he was shouting everytime he talks.. read more

Normally I don't post reviews about food but I have to say it that Pho Thanh is tasted so nasty now. I used to like Pho Thanh a lot. But since they reopen after the COVID lockdown, thier foods are bad quality and bad services. Will not eat here again. read more

NOTE: If this place weren't 24 hours, I would probably give this place 3 stars... but you can't expect much from a 24 hour place. That said, the extra star is for it's store hours. This is the best 24 hour pho place, hands down. Honestly, the Pho is pretty damn good. The broth is really yummy and I never had soggy noodles (I HATE SOGGY NOODLES!!) However the spring rolls are a freakin joke.. please don't order these. The peanut sauce literally looks like really soft poop... The rice dishes and vermicelli were forgettable. I only come here strictly for the pho and so should everyone else. This place is pretty ghetto though... kinda dirty and I always see gangsters that look like they're going to pop off at any moment. read more

no star. I am eating right now. It is worst pho i ever ate in southern cal 1. The broth taste like water with msg 2. Worst service i ever seen. 3 peoples with 2 glass of water. No common sense. 3. This place should shutdown. It embrassing vn food like Pho read more

We were in the mood for noodle soup during our visit here in California, and kind of found this place by accident. I had the Beef Pho, hubby had the Bun Bo Hue, and the kiddos had shared a grilled pork rice dish. I don't know why they don't keep any of the condiments on the table...like salt, pepper, fish sauce, spicy hot chili sauce, etc....all they had was hoisin and hot sauce. The flavor of my soup was kind of plain. I can't really say it was all that flavorful, and once you started to put in the basil, bean sprouts, and lime, the heat of the soup became lukewarm. They do give you a good amount, but I can't say, I enjoyed my soup. My husband's soup, he thought tasted plain and not at all spicy--really bland, but they do give you a good amount, and the kids' rice dish, it was just some pickled vegetables on the side, fried egg, crushed rice and the grilled pork which had sort of a sweet curry flavor. Supposedly my pho was supposed to be 50% off, but I ddin't catch it when I was paying the bill since I was looking for cash in my purse when I found out they didn't take credit/debit cards. I realized they charged me the full price after the fact we left. I was a little annoyed with them for that especially since they had this huge banner outside their restaurant advertising 50% off on Pho Bo. Even if I lived in California, I don't think I would come back. There are other Pho restaurants around in the area, and I'm sure one of them is bound to taste good. It's just too bad, we got stuck with a bad one on our first visit. read more

As long as they continue to offer 50% off on Pho, they deserve 4-star rating. Otherwise, 3-star. Parking is easy. The restaurant is modern and clean. The service is friendly and nice. Open 24 hours. Pho is good, not excellent. The portion is fine. We ordered pan-fried noodle. It's very good. We usually come here twice a month. Please note that pho is like hamburger. It's personal taste. Who to say that McDonald is better than Burger King or Carl's Junior? Similarly, one can comment about Pho 54, Quang Trung, Nguyen Hue, etc. You have to try and decide it for yourself. read more

Pho please! The taste of hot soup riddled with slices of beef, onions, tripe and soft chewy rice noodles. On a cold day or after heavy drinking, pho is so fulfilling. I've been to a dozen pho places in westminster. Pho Thanh is one of my favorite places. They give more meat and veggies than most other places. I order a large bowl to go which feeds 2 people. The broth isn't as complicated as other places but it definitely does the trick. I never wait more than 5 minutes for food and the restaurant has a decent ventilation system so I don't stink of food when I leave. read more

So there I was relaxing on my bed at 1:15am playing Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven on my PS2 (Yeah, its old but still a great game). A little buzzed from some beer during dinner, I figured I'd just finish a stage and go to sleep. Then just as I was about to fight the master villain I get a call from my friend Allen D. a.k.a. Papichulo/Sr. Principal Engineer (whatever that is...). It seemed his M3 got a flat tire and his car didn't have a spare (apparently not all BMW's carry spares) and no he did not have "run flat" tires. So knowing what it feels like to be stranded somewhere in the middle of the night, I placed my game on pause and drove out to around LAX where he pulled over. By the time I found him and a flat bed truck from BMW took away his M3, it was 2:35am. Marking the time, my growing headache, and the need to work the next day, we decided to forgo sleep and get a bite to eat. Since Allen D. lived in Orange County, we decided to go to Westminster and hit up a 24 hour Pho restaurant. Always down for an adventure, I put the pedal to the metal and arrived in Westminster about 20-25 minutes later. As I cruised down Bolsa Avenue, I was surprised to find a few Pho restaurants with their lights still on. (Damn, I gotta recon this area more in the day time!) Not knowing one restaurant from another, I turned into the parking lot of Pho Hoa when Allen D. who prides himself on being "a man who knows many things" recommended Luc Dinh Ky. In fact, he so confidently stated "...on Fridays there's like a line down the parking lot for the restaurant!" (btw, Allen's latin...) it peaked my interest and I drove off toward Luc Dinh Ky. Unfortunately, upon arriving at Luc Dinh Ky, we quickly learned the restaurant closes at 3am. In fact, Pho Hoa and most of the restaurants in the area close around 3am. Fortunately for us, Pho Thanh restaurant was right across the street and open 24 hours. Now being a person whose eaten Pho in NY, SF, and LA, I gotta say my Pho Tai Sach was simply OK. Then again, I'm also a person who likes the way Pho is made at restaurants, with all the MSG and anise, and not when its homemade and/or 100.0% organic. I also found the portions and the price very reasonable. (Thanks for paying Allen...) Especially when you compare it to a small bowl of Pho in Brentwood that costs $7.95! If I remember right Pho Thanh was priced between $5.00 - $7.50 depending on the bowl size. Chicken Pho was 50.0% off (I think since I can't read Vietnamese). Pho Thanh is a moderately large size restaurant with something like 20-25 tables and a security guard by the door. The bathroom also had the classic Asian restaurant slippery floors. Surprisingly, there were a few tables filled with people that night and two mid aged women working the night shift. While I'd really rate the restaurant 3.00 stars, I'm giving Pho Thanh 4.00 stars because of the two mid aged ladies working at 3:45am (power to the people!) and the fact that the restaurant is really 24 hours. I totally recommend hitting up Pho Thanh if you just want Pho late at night, getting that drunk headache after 3am or just don't want to wait in line for Luc Dinh Ky (uh maybe not...depends on whose waiting in line...). read more
