Pho dac biet
Angelica L.

Came here after not wanting to wait in line at Pho 79, and honestly -- excellent experience. You just can't beat the price here! It's probably the cheapest pho I've seen around, so if you've got an appetite but you're on a budget, this is the spot. Interior was clean and staff was so friendly. The portions are huge, the broth was flavorful, and they're generous with the meat. You absolutely can't go wrong with a bowl of pho here for this price point -- I enjoyed every single bite. It's not quite at Pho 79's level, but for what you pay, it's such a solid bowl of pho. Plus, they're open super late, which is a huge bonus if you get the late night munchies. Only thing to note -- it's cash only, so make sure to bring some with you!

Pho

Small bowl of pho is $8.25 ( big one $10.25, full menu price as of Aug 25' attached below) so price is unbeatable in todays climate! Pretty decent portion with lots of meat and they have the big size pho noodle ( which i prefer more than the small one). Broth is alright not the most flavorful, i think the other location of theirs does it a bit better than this one. A bit too much msg i think we got pretty thirsty eating it. They gave lots of basil and bean sprouts so thats good. It opens pretty late, large interior, good service even when we went pretty late at 2am. Overall is a steal for the price u get. Hope they improve the soup broth a bit more would be great! 6.5/10.

Spring rolls with pork and shrimp

I love their Pho Ap Chao! Pho isn't bad either, for the price that is. And along with the Bun Bo Hue (Broth was flavorful)...plus can't go wrong with the pho only being $8.25/bowl in this economy! Good spot for late night eats as well (I was just there in 04/02/2026)

Dac Biet

We initially went to Pho 79, but once we saw that line, we quickly turned around and Yelp another pho in the area. We saw Pho Vinh Ky, literally across the street with plenty parking. Sure it doesn't have the best reviews, but a lot is based on service... which we all know is not a thing at a pho shop. We came in, pretty empty. The lady saw us getting out the car and already anticipated our party, so we got in and the table was set with a baby high chair too. Great! We both got the Dac biet. At first it didn't look like a lot of protein, but once we dig in and moved the plentiful noodles, there was a lot of protein. They even gave us another bowl, scissors and plastic utensils for the baby without even asking. The pho itself wasn't bad! It beats a lot of pho in San Diego. The broth was flavorful and it didn't make me numb. Usually I get numb in my throat and back of the neck when a pho has too much msg. But I was ok! Everything went well. A no frills, quick easy pho shop! Even 50% for pho Bo (just beef). The pho definitely was ok the cheaper side. It hit the spot. In and out in less than 30 minutes!

For the price the pho was pretty good. You can't find many pho places that are around $10 these days so couldn't beat the prices. The signs on the window are a little misleading as it says 50% off. We asked the waitress which items for 50% and she listed like 3 of the pho items, however when we went to pay it was the price on the menu not half of the menu price. Still cheap for pho but the signs and communication from staff were misleading. We ordered the combo beef pho and a veggie pho. The broth was very flavorful and there was quite a bit of meat in the beef pho. They offer 2 sizes. We ordered the beef pho in the large size and the veggie pho as the regular size. The veggies and broth were good for the veggie pho but I was not a fan of the tofu they used. They use the fried puff tofu that's airy in the middle so had no substance and didn't go well inside soup. It's the type of tofu that would taste great salt and peppered fried on its own. Most places I've ordered veggie pho from use the firm tofu. Overall decent for the price, service was typical, cash only restaurant. Would go back if in the area.

Special pho
Christopher T.

For some reason, this place is not quite as good as the sibling place on Westminster and the price is abit higher too. Bigger parking lot and bigger restaurant. Nice and friendly service. The place is a typical old style decor, nothing special. The soup is decent and less meat portion than the sibling place. Overall, decent meal and slightly higher cost.

Pho dac biet
Rony Q.

I was looking for a place to eat with a group around midnight during the weekday and I found this place was charging $8 for a regular bowl of pho and $10 for the large so I had to check it out. The workers were super chill and there were only a few customers besides us there. I got the dac biet which I would rate at about a 3.5/5. The portions itself were great for both the meat and the noodles but when I come to a pho shop I look at the quality/quantity of the meat and the quality of the broth. The broth department was a bit lacking which dropped it down to a 3.5, but honestly... it's easily a 4.5 considering the price and convenience. Will be back again if I'm around the area late night.

Spring Rolls
Peter T.

Wow this place was terrible, first the broth for their pho was gross, usually, unless I'm eating at Pho 79 or Pho 101, they all have taste the same to me. And now I remember why I haven't been here in almost 20 years. I also got their spring rolls but it was pretty bland as well. The only reason why I have this place 2 stars is because they were bumping Blackpink's Jump while I was eating, so that was cool at least.

Midnight pho after the concert.
Sandy K.

It's not easy finding an eatery that's open after midnight but I was determined since I worked up an appetite during the Billy Joel concert. I was actually in route to another pho joint but saw this eatery. Parking lot was pretty full, so you know that's a great sign. The inside is clean and quite large so they can accommodate many parties. Come to find out Pho Vinh Ky was running a bowl of pho for under $10.00 An awesome deal since bowls of pho are now ranging from $14 to $22 a bowl in So Cal. The pho was tasty especially after a night of drinking and contained a generous amount of protein and fresh condiments. I'll surely return to Pho Vinh Ky in the future.

Great pho, really affordable prices, open late, and friendly service. All these in my opinion make this an excellent restaurant. Regarding their pho, the broth had great flavor, the noodle had perfect texture, and the meat quality was good. It was only like $10 for a large size pho which is an insanely cheap price in 2025. Sure this place might not be as good as Phoholic but it's still excellent pho. I've got extensive experience eating late-night pho in the OC (I went to UCI and pho runs were what me and my friends did back in the day when we were bored late at night and I'm surprised I never came to this spot back then). I have to say as of now this is easily my favorite late-night pho place of all time.

Pho #8
Joyce F.

Got Pho #8 and barbecue pork with steamed rice. Broth was well seasoned and not salty. The meat from the pho and the barbecue pork are both tender and tasty. Overall, this place is a must. The waitress knows how to take care of her customers. From the time she takes your order to the time you pay. AST service, too. Huge place with lots of table and clean. Lots of parking as well.

Table
Lala J.

Our favorite pho place! We use to come here at 2 am precovid and it's always the same great service and food. I love their shrimp pho and fried egg rolls. Fried rice is always delicious as well. Their servings are big on the pho. I usually do the small and it's satisfying all the time. But I also have sides Place doesn't look exciting from outside but it's a must! Definitely recommend

pho tai chin
Lynn L.

ORDER pho tai chin (3/5) $7 for pho is unbeatable, however, the price reflects the portion and flavor. the broth lacked flavor and the portion is smaller than most places. there was a good amount of meat considering it was only $7. SERVICE quick service. we were seated right away and our food came out quick as well. AMBIANCE very big restaurant with plenty of seats.

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!

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.
