    #41 - Egg roll, grilled pork & shrimp ($16) ok
    Joe P.

    My cuz got me take out from SP in FV. Overall, the food was okay. The portions were not that large for the price, and the flavor seemed watered down. Viet food in Little Saigon or GG is cheaper and tastes better. My cuz said the service was friendly. It seems to me SP is similar to another place in the neighborhood that has decent Viet food. In addition, there is the convenience factor of not having to drive to Little Saigon or GG.

    My mother in law felt like Vietnamese food so we looked on yelp for somewhere near her house with high reviews and we haven't been before. The location is on the south part of Brookhurst away from Mile Square Park and the mega packed Kei Restaurant group plazas so it feels more chill and easy to part at. Thai Tea and Milk Tea: When we went they had some kind of anniversary promotion so these were free. Tasted OK, nothing especially good or bad about it but definitely a bit tastier because it was free. "Simply" Chicken Bites: Popcorn fried chicken but with their unique spice blend. I just wanted a couple piece but it was so good our table ate the entire thing. Grilled Pork and Shrimp Rice Combo: The shrimp and pork were so well cooked! For this area with so much competition they defintiely stood out for their protein quality. Delicious and would repeat. Bun Thit Nuong: Grilled meat, peanuts, shrimp, eggrolls, veggies over vermicilli noodles. I had a bite and it tasted great, my wife and mother in law totally cleared the entire bowl and it was big!

    The food is ok, i forgot to take a picture of the pork springroll, that was good! Thai tea tasted a bit diluted. I dont think i would be back, maybe just for the pork springroll.

    Simply Pho Noodle House is known for flavorful pho broth, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. The restaurant is clean and modern. Popular menu items include the pho, spring rolls, egg rolls, grilled pork rolls and grilled salmon. The restaurant is noted for good portion sizes and complimentary tapioca dessert and thai tea.  What I got: House spring rolls Grilled pork spring rolls Egg rolls Pho ga Rice with salmon

    Shrimp spring roll

    The spring rolls were fantastic - also had the vermicelli pork and shrimp with an egg roll. Yum!!

    This is located in the same plaza as the shabu place & Ralph's. Parking is decent and restaurant is nice & clean when you enter. Decor was decent too. The service is like any other pho restaurant, straight to the point to take your order so they can bring out your food. We ordered the pho dac biet with meatballs, pho ga & plain pho (noodles & broth only for the kids) along with sides of their crispy chicken & tofu. All were good and tasty. We all enjoyed our meal and first time experience was good. We do have other restaurant we love going to but this is a good backup restaurant as well.

    Steak pho & seafood fried rice
    Erika M.

    Came into Simply Pho from a reccomenation from my bestie and it did not disappoint!! We came in for the restaurant's 2 year anniversary and they offered us free soda or Thai tea....and we most definitely opted for the Thai Tea (delicious btw)! My date and I started off with a round of egg rolls and the pork spring roll! OH MY GOD....IT WAS AMAZING! The egg rolls were perfectly crisp and dipped in the rice wine vinegar sauce*chefs kiss*! And the pork spring rolls had like a suprise crunch inside that as delightful. I was very indifferent about the dipping sauce that came with that. I couldn't really place the flavor. We then ordered to share the Rare Steak Pho (#3) XL and the Seafood Fried rice (which came with shrimp, fish balls, and squid). The Rare Steak Pho was humongous and our server brought out to bowls for us with serving utensils which was perfect because we got to customize our own pho to our liking! The broth was very flavorful on its own or even with just a squeeze of lime and some hoison sauce. My date opted for all te chilie oil and Sriracha, and they loved it! The seafood fried rice could've been more flavorful in our opinion, so we say skip it and go for something else if you want something other than rice! The last thing they offered us was some tapioca pudding. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it was greatly appreciated! The service was wonderful and our host and several was very friendly! It wasn't too busy and it did look like only one person was working front of house, but still our food came out hot and fast. If youre like me and are worried about parking, don't fret! Plenty of parking in the area. Highly recommend, if you want some good pho, this is the spot!

    Wanted a quick pho stop and found Simply Pho on Yelp. I ordered the seafood pho and it was fine, nothing special. Broth was decent, but not the kind of pho I'd be craving later. Price felt a bit steep, around $22 after tax and tip, just for the pho. Overall, it's not a spot I'd go out of my way to return to, but if I happened to be nearby and wanted pho, I wouldn't mind stopping in again. Easy parking, good service. Solid 3 stars.

    Saturday morning is best for pho (iykyk). The hospitality of this place is top tier. The server, who I assume is the owner, was generous and patient with our large group. They were doing an anniversary special which they give out free soda or Thai tea. I ordered the Dac Biet bowl which is a classic. It was very delicious, and you can't go wrong with the price of $16. Broth was clear and flavorful, and the bowl was packed with a lot of protein. One of our friends ordered the beef bone pho. The meat fell off the bone easily, and it tasted very good. I would recommend that dish for anyone who is reading it, or I would recommend the oxtail pho. I liked the presentation of the oxtail one because they give you the oxtail in another bowl which allows you to break apart the bones or consume it how you want it. Another note is that one of our friends ordered a Com Ga Roti which we questioned why order a chicken rice dish at a pho restaurant. But it was actually really good. Venture outside of pho dishes here because they can do it all.

    Pho Tai with Thai Tea
    Harrison T.

    I came here for lunch earlier this week after craving some pho and I had a great meal here. The server who helped me was friendly and helpful with any questions I had. I settled on the Pho Tai and a thai tea for my drink. There's plenty of seating and tables here if you are coming here with a group for lunch or dinner. My food came out pretty quick after waiting only 5-10 minutes. They have a variety of pho bowls to choose from with various protein options and they also have other Vietnamese dishes like fried rice or crispy noodle dishes if you don't want pho. My pho tai was filling and delicious. The broth was flavorful and rich, the noodles were chewy and springy, and the meat was plentiful. They give you the usual toppings you can add to your bowl and the overall ambience was bright and friendly. If you want a good quality bowl of pho at a reasonable price, come check out Simply Pho!

    The first time I ever came to Tropical Smoothie Cafe, I swore I would never come back. That's…read morehonestly how gross I thought the smoothies were. I tried again a couple of years later... same feeling. Nothing stood out. Fast-forward to when my fiancé was working and coaching at Fountain Valley High School, & I was always in the area, always at the school with him, so I gave it another chance purely out of convenience. Again, the smoothies were just mediocre. I even tried a breakfast wrap (which I had zero interest in) and a salad, and neither were anything that made me want to return. Then one morning, running late before work, this location was literally my last drive thru option before turning into my work parking lot. On a whim, I ordered a Bahama Mama bowl... and they accidentally gave me a Bahama Mama smoothie instead. BEST. ACCIDENT. EVER. That smoothie completely changed my mind. It is now my go to order, and I've never switched it up since. I also tried their chicken Caesar salad wrap, and WOW!!!! it's genuinely one of my favorite wraps to this day. I now go out of my way just to come here for that wrap alone. I've tried a few other items like the three cheese chicken quesadilla it's okay, definitely more kid friendly. If you have an adult palate, it might feel a little underwhelming for the price. That said, all sandwiches, salads, wraps, and flatbreads come with a side (chips or fruit), which is always nice. Customer service here is 10/10, the inside is clean, the drive thru is quick, & their rewards program is awesome. I'm genuinely so glad I kept coming back despite my earlier experiences. Once you know what to order, it'll keep you coming back for more. Highly, highly recommend.

I got a smoothie there that I've gotten before. This time when I got it I spit out my first sip because it tasted like the produce they used was spoiled and it was unbearable to drink or even smell. I'm not a picky eater by any means and this was absolutely unbearable. I asked for an exchange for a new smoothie and they absolutely refused to make it right. They said, "We'll have to charge you full price for a new smoothie." I tried to reason with them but the manager at the time was rude to me. He was a heavy set guy with glasses. What made it worse was the complete lack of accountability. No apology, no effort to check the ingredients, no attempt to offer a solution. Just attitude. As a paying customer, I expected at the very least some basic courtesy and a willingness to fix a clear issue. Instead, I was treated like I was trying to get something for free. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone expecting decent customer service or fresh ingredients (Unless you like fermented smoothies). There are plenty of other spots that actually care about their customers.

I do not live in the area so about an hour after I left I realized my credit card was missing, I immediately locked it. Blue Bowl was the last place I used it but I wanted to check if the staff actually had it there. when I called the location's phone number listed on maps and yelp It went straight to voicemail with a long message from the CEO finally ending with an email address stating responses to emails are between Mon-Fri. So I had no way to find out quickly if my card was there unless I drove there. the next day Sunday I canceled other plans and made the 2 hours drive there and back. Luckily the card was still there and the nice staff gave it back to me. When I told them I could not reach anyone at their number and how far away I lived etc. they said there was no phone at their location. To the CEO, you must have a way for customers to reach someone in an emergency or in such a situation as I had on a weekend by phone or text or chat. with technology being so available and cheap these days, there has to be a way.

Clean flavors, not overly sweet, and very ingredient-forward. The textures in the #4 especially made it stand out. Service was efficient and welcoming.
