    I get the reviews here to an extent. I have been here before, like most desperate to get Asian food outside of great wolf lodge and I don't think it's ever fair to judge pho in take out but I came here again live today as I needed that amazing Tesla super charger in the back The place was completely empty on a lunch weekend day which was weird but was greeted right away by the older man. He was very attentive and pleasant the whole time. Food was all decent , pho was ok decent and nothing special but the rolls and fried rice was simply spectacular and made up for it. I get the reviews here complaining about the cleanliness as the restrooms were kind of gross. Overall still a much better experience than take out

    Eggrolls

    We stopped by this place for dinner on a Friday night while staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. It was close, convenient, and had good reviews. It was surprisingly quiet when we got there but we do tend to eat dinner early around 5:30/6 pm. The waitress was very nice. We did have to ask for things like napkins and utensils that she forgot, and when we asked for our to go box she took a while so I just went up to pay and get it myself. The restaurant was still not busy, just one other family there. The food was overall good. We got the egg rolls, pho, and chicken fried rice. The egg rolls were hot, fresh, and crispy. Flavor was good. It is on the lighter side since it comes with fish sauce that you can dip it in. The pho was good as well. Has the authentic beef broth flavor and was very flavorful. Almost too flavorful, which is rare for me to say. I do not eat bland at all. The pho has a lot of green onions and cilantro in it. Just something to keep in mind. The steak and meatballs that I got were tender and good. I think the pho broth can be a little lighter and people can add their own sauces and things that they like. The fried rice was good as well. Good texture and not too dry or mushy. Again, almost a little too flavorful. No need to add anything to it other than sriracha if you like spicy. Our young boys enjoyed the food, so overall a good experience. Lastly, keep in mind they do live Vietnamese music Friday - Sunday nights starting at 8 pm, so it does get quite loud and may not be the best for young kids, unless you're looking to party. Lol. They were setting up as we were finishing our meal and it started to get loud. Otherwise this place seems clean and quiet. I think it is worth checking out

    Quick service and quiet little spot. Food was good. We had the shrimp pho. Just had to ask for lemons because the Garnish plate didn't have any. Nice place to have lunch .

    This is a very convenient and close Vietnamese restaurant to the Great Wolf Lodge. It's a nice alternative to the regular food at the lodge and is pretty standard to the other Vietnamese options in the area. I ordered takeout over the phone and the employee was bilingual and took my order quick and correct. The food took only about 15 minutes to prepare for pick up. Their menu is quite extensive and the quantities are large. The quality of the food was average and not much better than other locations in Little Saigon. But it fills the craving for Vietnamese food and solid with freshness. The restaurant looked lively with the band playing on a Saturday night. I recommend this place if you are staying at the Great Wolf Lodge because it's decent food and better than most of the lodge's food.

    Chicken fried rice.

    Stopped by here on my lunch break. Was looking for Banh Mi but they didn't have it. So i instead got Chicken fried rice. it was very OK. nothing crazy. not too welcoming either as far as customer service goes. but that's okay. anyways, very much a 3 star restaurant. Also i laid like $17 something for a plate of this. Very expensive for no reason i feel. oh well.

    Not a good place. The menus they gave us had different prices than what they charged us. They only gave us a $6 discount for it.

It's a more trendy and modern take on classic Vietnamese tavern fare; the type of cuisine you'd have with beers and liquors late at night, focusing on seafood. However, I would prefer if there was a more flexible grace period for late arrivals especially since they keep telling waitlist parties to check in far too early. The last time I went, the servers were so incompetent. One of them would stack dishes on top of dishes that were already there and get the food dirty and overcrowding the table; this got really hazardous when it got to the tabletop gas stove and hot pot... we had to look out for safety instead of him just doing his job. I felt absolutely disrespected having our serious legitimate concerns so trivialized. We seriously have had such mixed experiences with service coming here. Mostly solid or above average, though never really outstanding, as well as those few very bad ones. I hope to be proven wrong or to see change for the better my next few dine-ins.

SEN is stays true to their authencity, going for quality over quantity, with their two page menu. Didn't realize just how many Vietnamese restaurants were in the area, so stiff competition! And no, SEN is not a KEI Concepts location! After ordering, we were given our waters in plastic to-go cups, which I thought was a little strange. After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

From the moment it hit the table, I could smell how rich and flavorful the broth was. You can tell it wasn't rushed--it tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Every spoonful was comforting, packed with depth, and had the perfect balance of savory flavors. The beef was unbelievably tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the noodles had the perfect bite. This is the kind of meal that reminds you why pho is one of the best comfort foods out there. What really impressed me was the freshness of everything. The herbs were vibrant, the bean sprouts had a great crunch, the jalapeños added the perfect kick, and a squeeze of lime brought the entire bowl together. Every ingredient complemented the broth instead of overpowering it. I found myself slowing down just to enjoy every bite because it was that good. By the time I finished, I was honestly wishing there was another bowl waiting for me. The service and atmosphere made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. It's always a bonus when great food is matched by great hospitality.

If you're searching for a pho spot that delivers on flavor, freshness, and overall experience, don't sleep on this place--you'll leave happy and already planning your next visit.
