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.

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!

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)

Oxtail pho

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

Rice Noodle Soup with Oxtail (Phở Đuôi Bò, $12 for a small bowl)

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!!!

Delicious egg roll, pork, shrimp over noodles.

Had oxtail soup, and eggroll, pork with shrimp over noodles. Both were delicious. Great food and reasonable prices made up for no ambiance. No frills mom and pop place.

Oxtail .. so good and tenderly delicious

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!

Pho with Kobe Beef
Jonathan S.

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.

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!

Usually we would have to wait for a table but this time we were able to be seated right away…read more Must order is their Nam Neung Spring rolls. The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good. There is also a dessert display in the front where you check in which we haven't tried yet.

We just placed an order for 40 nem nuong rolls with Kaitlyn for pickup later in the afternoon…read more Giving her a shoutout for the fast and friendly service. Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home. The nem nuong here are always perfectly rolled and the crunch of the fried wonton strip inside makes it feels like party in your mouth! so good! Note: requesting to cut rolls in half costs extra. We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

I took over responsibility for another facility and needed to feed my staff. Did a quick "food…read moresearch near me" and found Mama Hieu's. I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff. Oh there was a part of the order that was missed but they took care of it right away. Also parking at the plaza is very busy but there's parking in the back so no problems. They even brought it out to me so I wouldn't have to carry it all around the building. A+ service. If you're in the area and want some good wings...don't hesitate to stop by! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

The best pho in OC hands down…read more Came in Sunday afternoon for lunch, lots of parking but busy! Be prepared for parking and maybe to wait. Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
