The name stands true. The pho is indeed luscious (richly appealing to the senses, especially in a way that suggests beauty, softness, or deliciousness) I've always find that restaurants that have simple menus perfect their dishes and that is true of Pholuscious. You can taste the chefs passion in the broth and quality of the ingredients. The servers were kind and efficient. The restaurant was bustling, but not so loud you couldn't hear your party. Definitely recommend. read more

Really good experience! We ordered the garlic steak noodles, chicken wings, beef rolls, and kids pho. Everything was delicious and came out fresh. The service was also great, and our food came out quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a nice and easy dining experience. We enjoyed everything and would definitely come back again! read more

This place was so delicious and consistent. We've been here twice now for pho and lomo saltado and it has been really consistent in flavor, texture, and service. Lomo Saltado: Probably one of our favorite place to get Lomo Saltado for the price. The fries remain crispy and the meat is super tender. Hot stone Combination Pho and Beef Rib Pho: Noodles are perfect texture, there's ample amount of meat in the Pho, broth taste clean and refreshing. Beef rib is super tender and fall off the bone. The hot stone is an amazing touch to keep the pho soup really warm and hot. Highly recommend this place. I will be coming back for more. I hope the price for the soup and lomo saltado stay the way they are. read more

My friend was in town and was craving Vietnamese food since there aren't many Vietnamese restaurants where he lives. We decided to visit Pholuscious since we've been there before and had a good experience. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, while my other friends ordered a variety of other dishes. The food came out quickly and everything was fresh and delicious. One of the dishes we ordered was initially forgotten, but the restaurant made up for it by preparing the dish right away and not charging us for it, which we really appreciated. Aside from the missed order, everything we had this time and everything we've ordered during previous visits has been consistently delicious. read more

Was at the library and decided to pick up food for family on my way home. Other half ordered online and I picked up the order. As soon as I walked in the staff asked if I ordered for online pick up. How did you guess? Do I not look like someone who eats alone? lol Son had the pad see ew with chicken (it's obvious this Asian fusion is meant to appeal to the demographic that may not know this isn't a Vietnamese dish - the concept works). I had my usual of the vermicelli with grilled pork and egg roll. Not bad but not the best I've had so not sure why someone commented it was the best they've had outside Vietnam. I've never left the United States but I can tell you pho lovers 3 makes a better version of the #33 here. Sucks that person's review hyped up my expectations. Parking was easy. Staff is nice. I ate at pho lab 3 years ago so was surprised this place literally opened 3 doors down which is kind of wack. Regardless I don't have any loyalty to either and decided to try this place to see if they're any better. I will continue going to pho lovers 3 for more authentic Vietnamese food if I want to stay within the confines of HB. read more

It bewilders me that two amazing Pho spots can exist in the same city that isn't Westminster/Garden Grove...let alone the same parking lot. But here we are. Pholuscious serves some amazing fusion and traditional eats. Their Pho Dac Biet was delicious. Alot of tendon. The Tai was surprisingly tender and I was disappointed that there wasn't more of it. Came in close to opening on a Monday and it was pretty empty. Perfect time to come and try for my first time. Service was great. Inside was clean. Sprouts come pre-boiled. This may or may not be of concern to you. I know friends from both camps (boiled vs. raw) Broth had a lot of favor. The main reason for 5 stars. Not too oily. Not too salty. Just right. The stone bowl is a nice touch. I thought it was a gimmick at first, but my last spoon of soup was still very warm. I'm a believer. Would love to come back in and try their chicken wings and maybe some vermicelli. But add this to the roster if you're in the area, and craving pho. Open late too which is amazing! Really wish this was closer to Irvine. read more

In the mood for late-night pho, we ended up at Pholuscious. There is another pho restaurant in the same plaza so I wonder how they compete! The restaurant was large and very pretty inside. The service was attentive and the menu was large. Prices fair, around $13-15/bowl. We ordered beef and chicken pho, all of which were served in hot stone bowls. Admittedly, I was expecting the soup to arrive boiling but it was just hot. While it did stay hotter than other pho restaurants, it was a bit of a let down. The pho itself was tasty but nothing mind-blowing. Overall, it was a solid meal and I appreciate that the restaurant is open until midnight. read more

Man, everytime I drive around town, I always find new Pho restaurants that just opened up. I found Pholuscious which has probably been here a little while. I ordered the Pho Salad and Pork chops, with Pho Beef Soup. Big place in a busy shopping center. Service is good and fast here. Love the food and menu choices. This might be my go to spot. read more

We tried Pholiscious for the first time yesterday. The establishment was clean, including the restrooms. Service team was friendly and welcoming. We appreciated that the servers were attentive and responded to requests quickly. Large parking lot with free parking. Food - We ordered three dishes, shrimp spring rolls, rare steak pho and chicken pad thai. The shrimp spring rolls consisted of three rolls cut in half for six pieces. Ingredients were fresh and the pieces of shrimp were good size and average price. The rare steak pho came out already cooked (no pink), broth was good, good protein portion. We order a side of veg priced at $4, not sure that the potion size and mix warranted the price. We also ordered the pad thai no peanuts due to severe food allergy. The dish came out with peanuts and needed to be sent back. It was re-fired and delivered quickly, however, the noodles were mushy, the sauce was unusually sweet and too much sauce for me personally. Pho bowl prices are slightly under nearby competitors by approximately $2. This restaurant does not offer size selection on bowl size. If we eat here again, we will avoid the thai dishes. read more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! This is hands down the best pho I have ever had. The broth had so many layers of flavor and was absolutely delicious. The tendon was so tender it practically melted in my mouth! Everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared. We both got pho. I got the combo, and my husband got the #14 with rare and well-done meat. Both were fantastic! The Thai tea was SO good too! The restaurant was very clean, the workers were incredibly nice and welcoming, and the service was fast. You can tell they really care about the food and their customers. We will definitely be back. If you love pho, you NEED to try this place! read more

When I walked in, they immediately greeted me and said hello and said I could sit wherever I would like they brought over a menu and gave me time to review it. Everybody that worked there was super nice. This is a very casual place inside. I had one or two questions and my waiter. Jonathan was extremely helpful and very nice when the food arrived. I wanted to eat it right away, but it is very hot temperature wise so you have to wait or just blow on each bit of it as you're trying to eat. It is a large portion in my opinion, but so very delicious. The pho was amazing. They gave you a huge side of bean sprouts herbs, greens jalapeños so you could add what you would like to, but I couldn't finish. I took home which it was OK but it's much better to eat there. I highly recommend you take some time out of your day and go there for a meal. They are open late also again thank you Jonathan. read more

Update 1/18:26 Pholuscious is the place to go for lunch, dinner, or late night snack. You cannot go wrong if you're out for a late and stop in for a snack of chicken wings and spring rolls. Or something more filling like the variety of Pho or rice plates, etc. they have in their menu. Everything we have ordered here has been excellent. I would recommend giving Pholusciius a try for excellent Vietnamese confused food. read more

Definitely my favorite pho restaurant. I used to be a fan of Pho 101, but this place is now my #1. The food is delicious, they're open late & the service is always great! I always order #12, well done brisket. My boyfriend always gets #8, build your own. The broth is savory, the meat tastes good, it's nice, thin, tender and lean. It's not as fatty as other places, which is a plus for me. The veggies are fresh, the vinegar onions are actually good and yummy. They have all the sauces you need, including the chili oil. The stone pot maintains the broth nice and warm. There's plenty of tables/seats. All the workers are nice & friendly. Shout out to John, he always helps us out. They open at 10am and close till 12am, which is great because sometimes we eat late at night. read more

Enjoyed the light, well balanced flavor of the broth, perfectly sweet without being overly salty. I got combination but removed tripe. Meat and noodles is well portion' 5/5 The rib bone meat was incredibly tender and juicy, it practically fell off the bone as soon as I picked it up. The Thai tea was nicely sweet, while the green Thai tea was more subtle and less sweet. Go with the regular Thai tea if you have a sweet tooth. read more

Compared to other late night pho spots (open til midnight), this one's the best. We came around 10pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. We got seated immediately though. Pho comes in hot stone bowl which keeps it hot longer. Also came with side of nuoc beo (fatty oil) and vinegar onions. Bean sprouts were blanched which I appreciate. Egg rolls were decent. Service was good. Table had everything you need with all kinds of sauces including chili oil. Floor is a little slick and oily but what do you expect. read more

Sad about this. Was very excited to try as they were open past 9pm. Honestly horrible service. They didn't even come to check on us once. Gentrified atmosphere. Asked them to wipe the table and they used a dry napkin which is clearly why it was still sticky. Nice stone bowels though. Well developed broth but very stingy in meat I only got 3 pieces when I ordered well done brisket. Bf was happy though that they had culantro and most places do not. And the rice did taste like it was microwaved. Meh. Sad. read more

What a surprising find in the heart of HB! My vietnamese coworker was raving about this place and its pho soup has is made with a secret ingredient. Hands down one of the best pho soups I've tasted in my recent pho tours. I always order the BYOP (Build Your Own Pho) with brisket, tripe and fatty brisket...but with soups this amazing, you really can't go wrong with any topping combinations. read more

Pholuscious - Pho with Brisket and Tendon - Vietnamese Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Known for their hot stone pho. Food doesn't come out as quickly as a traditional pho place, but still pretty fast. Ordered 3 meat pho combo with rare beef, brisket, and fatty brisket. Good broth, lots of green onion, and meat to noodle ratio was good. I've never had pho in a hot stone, but it's definitely worth it on those cold days since it keeps the broth warm. Appreciate that they DO take CC and they are open very late every day - definitely a good late night option. read more

Truly delicious. Can't go wrong with the eggrolls as well as the beef pho. I get the flat fresh noodles as those are my favorite.

Popular place but to me the Pho is too sweet. I like the place next door better. Got the Pho Tai.

We come here often. It's our local place when someone is craving pho usually. Spacious, nice atmosphere with great staff!

Pholuscious - #14. Rare & Brisket Beef Pho and 3. Tofu Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This pho restaurant is 2 doors down from Pho Lab but this location is ideal bc it's in the same minimall w Walmart so both restaurants are doing really well w the WM shoppers. This was my 2nd time so I'm sure my review is accurate. It was a very cold and windy day, I walked in to buy some take outs but it looked festive bc the New Year vibes were still in the air so I decided to dine in, it was a mistake as we had the last table right by the door and it felt like I was in an igloo. They had a huge banner advertising their pho was only $13 next to Pho Lab I think was $17, furthermore they had this new gimmick pho in a metal type container supposedly it kept the pho hot but let me tell you, it did nothing, the pho was lukewarm to start and the wind from people getting in and out made the pho cold in no time. The broth was bland and sweet to me, It did not have enough bone and I was shocked they had the pho noodle from China, not the fresh one as in 80% of the Pho restos nowadays, I usually walked out bc I refused to eat factory noodles they crumbled and turned sour bc of the chemicals they used to bleach the noodles after I learned about all the chemicals from my trip to China. The shaken beef called Lomo saltado bc they imitated the green sauce from the Peruvian cuisine but failed, it tasted Ok but a little sweet w cilantro mixed in. It came out so fast I suspected it was precooked as it was also only lukewarm, my husband was impressed so I let him eat it as the filet was not very tender. Everybody was very young and energetic, the customer service was wonderful but I thought they lacked culinary experience. I'm a news freak so do not join any local community forum, I was shocked my husband told me many Americans are very upset there were too many Pho restaurants taking over all over town, it's ridiculous 2 pho restos in the same mall and every other block there are more taking over all the out of business restos. I can count on my fingers the few restaurants serving American cuisine. People are even furious the Recess Room went out of business and Pho Hanoi is coming very soon, I'm looking forward to it bc I read they were famous in San Jose even though temporarily I'm PHO-OUT!!! LOL!! I'm craving Chinese food but there are so few Chinese restaurants in Orange County. The food alone was only 2 stars but I uprate this to 3 stars for good customer service but I don't think I'll go back. read more

This is by far the best Pho takeout I've ever had. Most places require you to reheat the broth over the stove and comes in poor packaging but this place sent our food in the perfect bowl kit which made it so easy to prepare. The pho was delicious and the broth was still so warm. I also ordered egg rolls and they were still crunchy. This will be our go to pho spot. read more
