    Shrimp and rice plate
    Raul R.

    Very much enjoyed the shrimp and rice plate I ordered here. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor, especially when you add some of the condiments provided. This was a delivered order so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere. However, it's located in the heart of OC so I might stop by to dine in sometime soon. I definitely plan on trying their pho when it's not 90 degrees outside.

    Another weeknight dinner. Easy parking. Seated right away. Love how this place is always consistent with great service, delicious food, and an awesome experience overall. The pho broth is good by itself which is rare to find. Til next time!

    Butter fried chicken wings
    Diana R.

    Came for lunch with my co-workers since we were nearby for a meeting. There was plenty of parking available. We were a party of six and seated without any delays. The staff were friendly and full of smiles. It looked like there were groups of people who were working nearby or just family and friends. We ordered spring rolls and fried chicken wings to share. I thought they were just ok. Spring rolls were a little bland, even with the dipping sauce. It was odd that the peanuts in the dipping sauce were not crushed I think that would've helped improve the taste. The wings came out, kind of dry as if they were not as fresh. I ordered the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and shrimp and egg rolls. There's a decent amount of food that comes with this dish. I wasn't a fan of some of the extra fatty pieces of pork. Additionally, they were in big pieces and it was hard to eat without a knife or scissors. Similarly, the peanuts were not crushed, and it was just a little strange. I did not finish my food because it just wasn't tasting that great. If I'm in the area again, I think I will try their pho.

    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

    Vermicelli

    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.

    Spring rolls
    Michael S.

    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!

    Special Combo Pho
    Emily L.

    One of the best pho places I've been to! I come a couple times a month with my friend. We always get the Special Combo #2 bowl and the egg rolls. We almost never leave food left over! The service is always great and it's always pretty quiet.

    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.

    Great service amazing food always come here with my family and they never fail us. The location is easy to find as well.

    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.

    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.

    Lately I've been exploring Vietnamese food and when I looked at Nguyen's Kitchen's menu, I was…read moreintrigued by some of their menu items, so I decided to go check them out. I was meeting my foodie friend there at 12:30. The parking lot has limited space, which made it an extra challenge to park. Thankfully I only had to circle the block once to come back and snag a spot. (Meanwhile, my friend got there before me and was already enjoying an appetizer). Orders are placed at the counter and they call your number once your food is ready. The dining room consists of mostly booth seating with one "communal" table, and counter seating with 5ish chairs. There are also a handful of tables set outside. I've really been enjoying banh mi and their Bulgogi beef sandwich sounded great. I also happen to have a thing for popcorn chicken, so I got an order of that to round out my lunch. Oh, and based on the rave reviews I've read about their peach & lychee green tea, I ordered one of those as well. Let me just say, lunch was very satisfying! The sandwich was generously filled the fresh ingredients and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. I'm not sure what the green sauce was that they finished the sammie off with but it was SO tasty!! I requested the popcorn chicken with medium heat and it was just spicy enough to leave my tongue tingling slightly. My friend saved an egg roll for me and it was also really good. (The tea by the way was very refreshing.) Now, this was my first time here but I never saw anyone come out to check the dining room or wipe down the tables after the lunch rush. This was especially concerning to me because they had a guy doing work on the windows who put his feet/ shoes on the tables right under said windows. Ewww. But aside from the parking challenge and the table hygiene/cleanliness, our visit was quite enjoyable and the food was very good. We would definitely return, but we'll have to plan around the lunch rush!
