    Pho Tai
    Camille A.

    Came in on a Thursday early dinner time and got seated immediately. Servers were attentive and friendly. Got my usual order of pho tai. It was good but not the best broth I've ever had. I wish the cuts of the rare steak was thinner and there were some fattier pieces that I didn't like so much, but there was that much of them and it was easy enough to avoid. I did like their fries with shaken beef! I wish the green sauce was a little bit spicier but I could honestly drink that green sauce! Delicious!!

    Delicious pho with generous portions! The XL bowl actually comes with more noodles, meat, and toppings not just extra broth which made it incredibly satisfying. Unlike some other pho restaurants that simply add more soup to make a larger bowl, this place gives you more of everything that matters. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has a welcoming, kid-friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Service a great and fast when it comes to ordering pho. Plenty of seats and gets busy at lunch time, but not overly crowded. Portions are very big and very filling. Pho broth has good flavor but luke warm, and tons of meats from steak, meatballs, tendons and green onions. 4/5 Enjoyed the Thai iced tea but wasn't as sweet. 3/5 Mung Bean for Dessert is my favorite part after our meal, compliments from the restaurant. Love the taste of this mung bean dessert. 5/5

    My go to work stop for pho, vermicelli, and lemongrass chicken. It's one of those consistent places where you always get the same quality and portions. Their pho is BIG! Bigger than most places I think. The lemongrass chicken (sub white rice for red rice) is always good, and vermicelli is always a good option if you want something just heavy enough but slightly refreshing. Nothing extravagant but always what you expect. Their tap water is also not great so hydrate well beforehand. It gets busy during rush hour lunch so just plan accordingly.

    I ordered shrimp fried rice! $18.95 for the plate. The shrimp still had all the poop inside. It was rubbery. The rice looked like they threw the whole frozen peas bag in there. Overall did not like it all. Not worth the money.

    We've long visited the same Vietnamese restaurant in Tustin, even after multiple change of owners, a drop in quality, and steadily rising prices. Sadly, my kids are stubborn and resistant to try a new place! That's why I lied and drove them to Simply Pho. Yes, the howled and moaned the whole ride. Onto the actual review... The interior is very modern and slick and the staff were friendly and helpful. The shrimp spring rolls were fantastic (especially the peanut sauce!). I had bun with pork/shrimp/eggroll. I'm not a huge fan of shell-on shrimp, but I lived. Everything was very tasty and high quality and I thought the value was much better than our usual haunt. My kids enjoyed their beef pho and chicken with rice. We loved it enough that I hope to come back soon!

    The food here is good. The prices are okay, average for the Y2KXXV (2025-present day) era where so many of us have to acknowledge the quarter century gone by since the year 2000 with inflation and cost of living adjustments. The one thing I think could be improved to their Vietnamese cuisine peer restaurants is slightly larger portions, simply "more noodles" a low overhead cost would probably make this place busier and with insignificant profit loss but overall higher revenue gain. The Garlic Noodles are perfect, not overwhelming nor overpowering. Easy parking.

    Bugs that were crawling around us and our food.

    My friend and i came here and we saw this had good reviews but almost the whole time we were there, little bugs kept flying on my hand and around my food and around the lights. I told 2 different servers and they both said "it's ok". I stated i didn't want my food anymore and they said ok and still made me pay. I just wanted to get out of there and they were taking no accountability. I don't recommend going here. They never checked up on us and also took so long to give us the check.

    We ordered the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls to start. Amazing!!! For dinner, I ordered Grilled Chicken over vermicelli and my boyfriend ordered Pho Fish Fillet. Mine was so good, fresh and flavorful. My boyfriend really enjoyed his. He said it hit the spot! The servers were nice but didn't come around very often to check in. It was so good, I forgot to take a picture. This was the aftermath.

    Pho noodle soup
    Anthony R.

    Great service & tasty food! The hot soup and the beef make a perfect combination.. noodles not hard at all.

    I like this pho place. Pho oxtail and pho rib bone are soooo good. I also like the Thai tea.

    Seafood pho, shrimp spring rolls, beef vermicelli bowl and fried tofu.
    Desiree L.

    I really enjoy eating here. Their broth is very clear and delicious. I order their seafood pho and shrimp spring rolls. Their seafood is always fresh and clean. Their noodles are cooked to perfection and their spring rolls are always made with the freshest ingredients. Their prices are average compared to other pho restaurants and their portions are just right. Their customer service is great and their food always hits the spot. I will always return when I'm in the area.

Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent. The dining environment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of television screens so people could keep up with World Cup matches.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

Those crabs were delicious, would love to get this again!!! Never had whole soft shell crabs like this, only the small pieces appetizer at sushi joints.
