From the moment you walk through the door, incredible aromas pull you in and the food delivers on every single one of them. The menu is fantastic, but honestly, the staff made the experience. Everyone was genuinely friendly and gave spot-on recommendations that we ended up loving. The fact that they're open late is such a bonus we'll definitely be back for a late-night dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with friends, and I had a pretty good experience. I got #3 pho and egg rolls. I thought the pho was pretty good but a little pricey. Really enjoyed the egg rolls! Also, they have complimentary Thai tea and a dessert. Service was fast and parking was easy. Recommend checking it out. read more

The restaurant is located in such a nice little area and the food was very good. I just got a plain Veggie Pho since I wasn't feel super well and it hit the spot The servers were all very nice and attentive often coming by to see if we needed anything. My husband really enjoyed his meatball pho so they have the staples down! Really interested in trying other parts of their menu next time! read more

After a long day shopping in the OC we were hungry. Glad we found Simply Pho on Yelp. Our navigation had us cutting through a CVS parking lot to an area outside with less hustle and bustle so we thought. The restaurant was loud and the ate inside crisp. A good combo of families, couples on dates of all ethnicities joyously enjoying their food. Our server was prompt, and based on other people's reviews I decided to try Pho Seafood- the broth was fragrant And the portion of noodles perfect. V got the taste steak combo... I do not remember the second meat. We also split fried tofu. V also got a Thai Iced Tea. We were both pleasantly surprised it was not made with the fluorescent jug of goop found at smart and final. V said his broth was easily top 10 of all the broths we have had so that's a good sign. It was all good. read more

In my 30+ years of eating pho, I've never had sliced beef like what I had tonight. The meat was tough, full of gristle and thick. I threw away most of the meat because they are not edible. It's like chewing leathers. My husband had shaken filet mignon. The flavor was good. However, the meat tasted like a mixture of some filet mignon pieces and other cuts. The other cuts were tougher than the filet mignon. The ambience was good. However, the food was a disappointment. We will not be back. read more

Really good food and flavor. Their fish dishes are really good. Came here multiple times.

I came here for dinner with my date since we were in the area. Upon entering, the restaurant is very spacious, and there were a lot of tables, boots, and even a bar style seating area. The server seated us, and we took a look at the menu. The menu has a variety of foods to choose from such as appetizers, pho, vermicelli and meat, and even rice dishes. Me and my date ordered spring roll to share, and my date ordered pho, and I ordered the vermicelli with pork. The pho came out first, then the spring rolls, and then it took a while for my vermicelli and pork plate to come out, which is understandable because it takes time to cook the meat. As I was waiting, I had some of my dates soup, and it was very flavorful. I even got my vermicelli and meat as I was eating my food, I was not satisfied with the pork as majority of the meat was all fat and hard to chew/bite. I should've returned it, but I just ate what I could and took the rest home. The spring roll was good, but as you continue eating it, the rice paper tends to get dry and hard, which makes it chewy. I would come back here if I was ever in the area, but I'm sure I could find better. Maybe I just didn't order the right food. read more

I see free Thai tea with check-in mentioned in previous reviews & although that's not why I went - just wanted to confirm that I don't think that's applicable anymore. Great: lots of parking & super friendly, attentive staff. Good: - the egg rolls were piping hot & delicious - the garlic noodles were a table favorite (translation: my toddler daughter approved) - temperature of the restaurant wasn't too hot / cold - just right! - lots of seating available on a Saturday afternoon Bad: - crispy egg noodles with chicken: the noodles & veggies were good but the chicken was wayyyy too dry/overcooked - pork vermicelli: the pork was also so dry/overcooked :( Will not be getting chicken / pork in the future! Will update my review once we get pho - it was just too hot today to order it! read more

My favorite lunch spot. Highly recommended! I love the garlic noodles here I get them every time

Their garlic noodle with filet mignons are so great. You must try. It is number 47. You wont regret

Walked in and no one paid attention to me or my party or 3 for about 10 minutes. I had to flag someone down and finally I was sat down and it took another 10 -15 to have a server pass by and take our order. Food arrived and they forgot my daughters. Guess the server didn't take it down. The pho was 3/10- one of the worst phos I've ever had. The spring rolls were good. 8/10 I liked the touch of fried garlic. Will not be returning, ever. read more

Good food and everything but service can be improved way better given pho competition is high. I even asked the server at the counter about the product up front and said she doesn't know. Guess I just have to figure out myself lol read more

Food was just okay at best. Very poor service from the two girls. The guy is little better.

Stopped in for a Thai tea because the signage out front caught my attention. Got to see the menu and it looked interesting- ordered my phó ga :) Ladies inside the restaurant were friendly and the interior felt clean, inviting, and nice- considering it is a great little place to meet a loved one/ friend. Will definitely stop by again read more

First and last visit. ---Bun #41 ($15): The pork was TERRIBLE. Chunks of hard overcooked pork (hard like jerky) held together by fat and sinew. About a third of the pork went in the trash as it was either just fat or too hard to chew. The Vermicelli was overcooked with little texture and the do chua was bland, and there wasn't much of it. The fish sauce vinegar mix was serviceable. Worst bun I've had hands down. ---Bun #44 ($16): had equally bad pork, so it wasn't a fluke. The shrimp were also overcooked. ---Garlic Noodle #46 ($11): we ordered this meatless, just garlic noodles. It was garlicky but needed salt to balance it out. Noodles were slightly overcooked. ---Nem Nuong Cuon #A3 ($8): this was decent. No comparison to Brodard in it's heyday, but OK still. Too much lettuce though. It worked against the smaller "sausage" slice. Ultimately, I guess don't order pork, and you may get a mediocre meal read more

I dined at the Simply Pho in Orange between my MD appointments. I was pleasantly surprised to find another branch. This location is across the street from, CHOC. As usual, the restaurant was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and super busy since I arrived during lunch rush hour for all the offices close by. Despite having a lot of patrons at that time, my food came out timely quickly in my opinion, and I was able to get out of there and back to work without being late. I ordered the pork spring rolls and the vermicelli dish. It was so good and really hit the spot. Next time I'm in the area , I will definitely head over to Simply Pho. read more

Simply Pho is a hidden gem. The pho broth is incredibly clean, aromatic, and full of deep flavor--exactly what you want in a great bowl of pho. You can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The noodles have the perfect texture, and the meats are fresh and high quality. The service is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant has a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy your meal. Everything from the food to the hospitality makes this place stand out. read more

Very open space and super authentic vibes!! We were seated quickly on a Tuesday afternoon, the server took our order and brought waters right away (I always look at the menu b4 coming so I can be ready) our food came out surprisingly quick!! The Thai tea is the perfect sweetness (not made from powder) the match tho? Maybe a powder mix, but the pho was phenomenal and the meat place and chicken wings were the perfect HOT & fresh temperature. A5 was definitely my fav will be coming back. They have all of the sauces at the table and wooden chop sticks ! Will be coming back for sureee! Prices are well priced for this area read more

Delicious ingredients, great service, and lots of food options! The interiors of this place is also nicely decorated and clean. Last time I came here with my family, we ordered a pork bahn mi, two pho noodles, and some spring rolls (not pictured). What I remember from this lunch is that all the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and it's likely that all entrees are made to order. Will come back again if I'm ever in the area! read more

The broth was very rich and I really liked it but I ordered the chicken pho and it looked and tasted like the Costco rotisserie chicken which made me feel slightly robbed since I obviously would have wanted chicken that the restaurant made read more

Super good rice, really loved the chicken. The staff was super sweet and made us feel welcome. Free dessert as well.

The service was fast! The restaurant menu has more than pho, they also have Vietnamese dishes like rice with chicken and spring rolls. Make sure to upgrade your pho bowl to XL for only $1 more! I appreciated that the broth was not oily like some pho places. It's pretty spacious inside, good for big parties. I will come back again soon! read more

My co-workers and their family love to eat Pho and Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio here. Not to mention - FREE THAI TEA! Yes! I'm in! Free soda if you do not like Thai Tea. Complimentary dessert at the end but this is more of an acquired taste. Filet mignon with rice and egg was declicious - per my co-worker. I ordered Egg rolls and Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio - they forgot my cucumber. Egg rolls - very crunchy outside and soft meat inside wrap in lettuces and dip in fish sauce. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio - they did not put any cucumber in there but everything else was in there. Other places charge similar price but I also get shrimps. Here, no shrimps. Meats were well marinated but a little bit dry. Egg roll was ok. Fish sauce was too light for me. Please improve service or hire more people. Food took a long time to come out. I am used to eating at Vietnamese places and self-serve but many others won't like it. I got up to ask for a scissor to cut my meats. Server was in a hurry and spill fish sauce bowl when putting them on our table. Yes - they taste good but they smell. Then got up again to ask for chopstick helper for my non-Asian co-worker. Nobody comes to check on us. Other than slow service, everything else was great! Parking - there are plenty in the front since it is in a big shopping area. read more

After walking around The Outlets at Orange, going to Simply Pho seemed like a great option. It was nearby and had good reviews. The restaurant had a nice ambiance. The servers were able to accommodate me at a table with enough space for my stroller. They even moved a chair so the rest of my family and baby could be more comfortable. So nice! A different waiter took our order and was also super friendly, and had amazing customer service. I ordered the main pho plate, which was huge and tasty. I almost couldn't finish it. A family member ordered the seafood pho and took leftovers home. Another family member ordered a chicken plate and looked very good. We also ordered egg rolls and boba drinks. My family thought the boba drinks were too sweet, but I don't mind the sweetness. By the time we were ready to leave, almost every table at the restaurant was occupied. We also got complimentary tapioca desert, which was totally unexpected and delicious! read more
