Phở Vie is the spot for Vietnamese Comfort Food Fix if you are not in the mood to cook but still want something warm, hearty, and comforting. It serves up legit Vietnamese rice plates that'll save your hunger and wallet. Only $12 a plate (cash only) and honestly it's a rare steal in SoCal these days! Each rice plate comes loaded with: Steamed rice A perfectly fried egg Side salad A small bowl of comforting pho broth We tried: #36 Cơm sườn nướng Trứng Chiên (Pork Chop Rice Plate) It came with TWO big juicy pieces of grilled pork chop. Legit value. #37 Cơm Thịt nướng Trứng Chiên (BBQ Pork Rice Plate) Sweet-savory grilled pork, classic and satisfying! Phở Vie has 2 locations and I visited the one right next to Shun Fat Supermarket in Westminster. (2025/7) Phở Vie (Location 1) 15440 Beach Blvd., #128, Westminster, CA 92683 Phở Vie II (Location 2 - in Garden Grove) 10120 Westminster Ave, Garden Grove, CA 92843 Both are Cash only! (ATM inside)
Very delish definitely worth the price! Should probably come with a viet speaking person if you don't speak yourself
A hidden gem. The best oxtail pho soup around! The portions are great for the price. All their food is cooked fresh. They do take cash only though.
Pho place is connected to the supermarket so they have plenty of parking in the plaza. The service people are elderlys and do things the old school way. They don't take care so it's cash only. They have a small atm machine in their restaurant. The place is spacious with many tables. We were going to try the oxtail soup that day, but they ran out. Pho tastes authentic haha probably with msg too, but it is good and decent pricing. Coffee was great because my fiance loved it. Will be back if ever need comfort food
I haven't been here that often... maybe 10 times or more? A solo Valentine's Day called for delicious Vietnamese food. I found a great, unpretentious spot serving amazing, classic dishes at fantastic prices. It's a shame so many people stick to pho, because there's so much more to explore! One of my favorites is "Dodging Beef" (Bò Né, $17), aptly named for the way the sizzling filet mignon sends hot oil splattering. It's served on a hot plate with your choice of white or fried rice. I ordered mine medium-rare - rare is too raw for me, and well-done is like chewing jerky. The steak is already well-seasoned, so the accompanying soy sauce is unnecessary. The sizzling sound, the melting butter, the rich aroma of beef - pure comfort. Another must-try is the Stir-fried Egg Noodles with Mixed Vegetables, Tofu, and Mushroom (Mì Xaò Chay, $14). I call them "bird's nest noodles" - I always go for the crispy ones. The Steamed Rice with Pork Chop & Fried Egg (Cơm Sườn Nướng Trứng Chiên, $12) is a Vietnamese-style grilled pork chop rice dish, I think. It comes with a pungent but delicious fish sauce - a staple in Vietnamese cuisine. While most pho places offer the usual beef and tripe, this restaurant has a fantastic Rice Noodle Soup with Oxtail (Phở Đuôi Bò, $12 for a small bowl). Each bowl is loaded with three generous pieces of oxtail. And since the price is the same with or without noodles, it's a no-brainer! I always add the fresh bean sprouts and basil the moment the broth arrives, letting them wilt in the heat. A squeeze of lemon over everything ties it all together. 我來這家的次數不多，也就十次以上吧？ 情人節獨自品嚐越南菜。這家小店雖無華麗裝潢，卻藏著樸實無華且物美價廉的越式珍饈。 許多人造訪越南餐廳時只點湯粉，但其實還有各式各樣值得探索的美味。 躲躲牛，形容鐵板熱油亂噴時閃避油漬而得名，其實就是鐵板菲力，17美金。可選配白飯或炒飯。店員會問牛排熟度，我覺得三分熟太生，十分熟太老，五分熟剛好。牛排已事先醃過，再蘸醬油就太鹹了。 聽著被鐵板燙至油汁四濺的劈啪聲，看著放在牛排上逐漸融化的奶油，聞著牛肉和奶油的香氣，感覺好療癒喔。 越式什錦炒麵14美金，我都叫它鳥巢麵。可選脆麵或軟麵（我都選脆麵）。 豬排煎蛋飯12美金，這算是越南特色的豬排飯吧？豬排飯的蘸料，就是越南店常見那種聞起來臭臭的，吃起來香香的魚露。 平常吃到的，都是帶牛雜和肉片的越南細粉，但這家還有牛尾細粉，小碗12美金。每碗帶三塊份量不小的牛尾肉。無論有沒有含麵都一樣價錢，那乾脆點帶麵的。 當熱騰騰的湯粉上桌時，迅速將豆芽和九層塔倒入湯中燙熟，再擠上檸檬汁提味。
Running late and forgot about dinner, my husband wanted some pho and this was the closest place at the moment and was open late. I wasn't a fan personally, just lacked flavor. Service was good, food came fast. LASTLY: cash only there is an atm inside
"5-Star Chili Experience! Indulge in there mouth-watering beef soup packed with nutritious greens, spicy chili peppers, and served with a soothing cup of hot tea. Plus, enjoy a complimentary side dish that perfectly complements their signature chili! Visit them today at 405 Beach Blvd and experience there exceptional hospitality! Note: Cash only, please. They can't wait to serve you!"
Okay. Open late. Quick service. Thai iced tea not my fav. Ambience - wasn't too crowded. Lots of space. Cash only!!!
Walked in for breakfast and saw aunties chilling and talking at a table in corner. You know its authentic when the aunties are just chilling speaking Vietnamese. Me andy friend were the only ones and asked if we can sit anywhere. One of the aunties stood up and took our orders. We went for two large Dac Biet and Two large ox tail only soup. Luckily i speak Vietnamese so it felt like home. The restroom had the typical humming noise from air vent, no soap was loaded. The prices listed on menu were different then what was charged but auntie insisted it was tax. Recipt showed $60 flat when bowl of large dac biet was $13 each and ox tail was $14. So math wasnt mathing right. At the end the aunt keep inisiting for tip which we didnt want to hassle with and left them extra $10. Overall the food was great, its just service and overcharging wasnt the best experience which is why 1 star is docked off. Also cash only and ATM fee was $2.50 no matter what amount you pulled. Would come here again for the Ox tail. PS. I have had real Kobe and this place isn't Kobe certified so I would skip it. Everywhere is serving fake Kobe now a days just like 2016 Hype. tho the price isnt bad since they arent charging you an arm and a leg but still.
Food was really good and affordable! Service was fast and good for big group too! The place was not bad but it's cleaned! I came here before and came back today after we had a massage at the Bali Spa!
So my Dad wanted to get some things from Shun Fat (sp?), and I was hungry for some Pho in this crummy weather we've been having the past couple weeks, so my parents and I wanted to try out Pho Vie which is right around the corner in the same shopping center as SF. One thing, though: CASH ONLY!! I read some reviews of this place before heading out to Pho Vie, and they also said this place takes only cash. So if you want to get some lunch here, PLAN ACCORDINGLY!!! Oh, and if you're a card person or you forgot your cash, you're pretty much screwed, because a couple of days ago, I saw that the ATM was out of order (and it's one of those "surcharge" types of ATMs, so again, plan accordingly. Anyway, onto the review: The waitresses/servers understand little to no English, so if you want to give them your order, just give them the number. And if you need or have questions about your order or need some more tea, etc., just give them a wave. I had the Pho with the Kobe beef, and it was all right; not bad, but all right. Tasted a little bit of the MSG, but other than that, the soup itself was piping hot, and the pho noodles were not too al dente. The meat was perfectly cooked, and not chewy at all. So aside from the "Cash only" business and the servers not understanding English well, this place is a hit or miss.
I've never had a bad experience eating in Westminster so I thought a restaurant near one of my favorite grocery stores would be great! It wasn't. Walking into the restaurant, you could see tons of tables with dirty plates and cups. The restaurant basically had no empty tables. If a table didn't have a party eating there, there were dirty plates and cups taking up space instead. It took me and my family 15 minutes of awkward standing around and wondering if we should eat elsewhere for an employee to clean up a table for us. Everyone I saw had to basically do the same thing: stand around awkwardly near the entrance, have employees stare at you but will not acknowledge you, and wait for an employee clean up a table that had dirty plates and cups for who knows how long. The food was okay. I couldn't finish mine. My noodles were stuck to each other so they probably weren't fresh. I got the #15 Phở Bò Viến or Rice Noodle Soup w/ Beef Meatballs, #5 Trà Thái or Thai Tea, and #14 Bình Trà or Hot Tea Pot. The Thai Tea tasted watery, but it was better than the noodles. The Hot Tea was just hot tea, can't go wrong with it. I wouldn't mind the bad service if the food was phenomenal, but there's no redeeming trait about this restaurant. I honestly wouldn't come here again.

Was shopping next door and craving for some comfort pho, stopped by and try their pho since I don't have to drive further to my to go. Plenty of parking since it in a big plaza with huge parking lot. Big, spacious, clean place with nominal decor since most are glass windows 3 out of 4 walls. Nice & friendly services, ordered their special pho and quick turnaround. Looks good but taste decent, nothing special, tasted abit much of msg..overall it was decent with nice & friendly service. read more
Home cooking pho. They are known for their ox tail pho. It's a generous portion with about 4 large ox tails. Comforting and good. Service is quick. Prices are reasonable. I also had their specialty combo pho (dac biet). Was good and generous with the ingredients. Broth tasted like ox tail. read more
So we came in late around 10:30-11pm and were able to order immediately. This place was is open late so that's why me and my wife decided to come and check it out. But prior to being sat, I think a customer and one of the ladies were having argument where I heard the customer yelling at the other lady saying to, "Calm down!" Which was an uncomfortable situation at first but we were both hungry and stayed. I will say, the food here is GREAT the broth of the pho was splendid and the egg rolls so far the best I've had compared to other pho spots. The one aspect I didn't like was the lady who brought our bean sprouts for the pho (lady getting yelled at) had her thumb finger inside of the plate deep in the dish holding the bean sprouts. She was nice don't get me wrong... but cleanliness wise, it didn't touch the bean sprouts at all and she had an odor to her. I just left them untouched. Aside from the cleanliness and initial hostile environment, the food tasted so good! read more

I give this place a 3 1/2 stars at best. I love "hole in the wall places" for great Asian food, but, this place is nothing to write home about... Food is decent, portion isn't too big compared to other Vietnamese places, they give you more noodles than broth. They do give you a good ration amount of meats to soup, which is really nice! Unfortunately, like all the other places due to inflation, prices have gone up by couple of bucks. Service is just mediocre- possibly due to language barrier..??But I did ask for more lemons (they didn't have lime, guess they were out of limes.) and was shot down to "1 more... that's it", but, she never came back! Ambiance is dirty, the only good thing is, it's fast and pretty cheap overall and right off the freeway. My husband really likes this place, but me, would like to try another place next time we are in the area. Dirty bathrooms too. Tip- bring cash, cash only spot! read more

Cash only! Ambiance is not nice lol it's your mom and pop restaurant vibes BUT the pho here is SO GOOD. The service is pretty fast. Once you order, your food will come out within 5min. I've only tried their Pho with Oxtail. The small size is $12 and $14 and let me tell you.. they give ALOT of oxtail. Their pho broth is clear yet so flavorful and their oxtail literally falls off the bone and it super tender. I know Pho 79 is known for their Oxtail Pho, but always seem to run out at certain time. Pho Vie never seem to run out whenever I come here and I come during lunch time. The price and the quality of this oxtail pho is what makes it 5 stars despite the ambiance. And no need to wait in line. I would say this place is for locals and the customers are typically elder/boomer generations. I rarely see millennials here. They also open till really late so really good place to visit without having to wait in line! read more

Best oxtail pho, hands down! Met up with fam after work for a sit down dinner. Plus, my mom loves their oxtail soup. OXTAIL PHO. My mom had ordered ahead for me, since I was late. She ordered a large bowl, even though a regular bowl would have been filling already. Why I would rather not order a large bowl? Because you'll just have a larger bowl loaded with rice noodles. Keeping with the regular bowl will have a more proportional balance of soup, meat, and noodles. The soup and noodles are served in a single bowl, and an extra plate and fork is provided so you can tear away at the meat on the tail bones. We come here to get our oxtail fix, because its much cheaper to purchase a bowl of oxtail pho than to buy the oxtail and cook it at home when you factor in the time and effort and price per unit. For one, if you don't already have the ingredients in your kitchen, don't buy all the herbs and spices just for a one time meal. It's too costly. Secondly, you'll have a hard time mimicking the flavorful soup made in a commercial kitchen, especially if you are cooking a small batch. read more

/* * * * CASH ONLY * */ One of my favorite places to go for Oxtail Pho!! The soup is always hearty and rich. They offer chili sate oil and chili garlic sauce if you request. I like to also add fish sauce. Of course, with any pho place, you get the standard sriracha, hoison, sliced pepper, basil/mint leaves, and mung bean sprouts. They always give good portions and you really get bang for your buck! Everytime I come here, they never skimp out on meat and I always come back for more. The spring rolls are good and comes in 5 (which is a weird number, especially for sharing lol)! It comes with lettuce cilantro, and cucumbers for you to wrap in -- had to request for more lettuce! After you are done eating, you just go up to the front and pay there. They are still doing in dining and you must wear a mask until you sit at your table. The service was good and the food came out SO quick I strongly recommend this place! read more

I come to this restaurant very often and I like it very much. It has become my regular restaurant. I have written a review before and I want to write it again because it really pleases me. The food is delicious and not too expensive. They give a lot of food. Nowadays, I go to many restaurants and they don't give much food. But this restaurant gives a lot and the price is really worth it. read more

We came about an hour before closing since not much else was open in the plaza. The food came out super quickly. The pho was mediocre and the broth tasted a little watered down. The portions are decent - I was super full after. They only take cash. read more
