Pho Dac Biet - Pho # 1
Annie L.

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.

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.

Chicken pho and Thai tea
Crystal H.

Love coming here! Everyone is so welcoming. If it's your first time trying pho definitely come here. Food is amazing and drinks. My favorite items to get here are the chicken pho and a Thai tea:)

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.

Number 3 Pho

Been coming here for years. Excellent pho for this part of town! The broth isn't just rich and savory--it's hot and stays hot, even after you dip your veggies in it, making for some satisfying sips. I usually get the dac biet pho or the oxtail pho. Tried the beef rib pho for the first time and it was the most fall-off-the-bone tender I've had. Service is always friendly and the dining room is spacious, with enough decor to make it feel like you're eating out at a Vietnamese restaurant and not at some generic place in a strip mall. Spring rolls, bun (vermicelli), and com tam (broken rice) are always good here, too. Our local go-to for delicious Vietnamese food!

I've been getting their pho for a while and the flavors are always so good. I like their hot sauce! Today, I am trying the chicken pho. Service is always friendly even when they are busy and the ambience is always lively with at least a few customers or more. Good for large parties or a quick solo lunch . Parking in front.

Small hidden gem with a "hole in the wall" vibe in the Asian Village right across from Asian Garden…read moreMall - may God be with you finding parking on a weekend My dad suggested this place for lunch one day a few months ago and I came in with high expectations as his recommendation for Vietnamese food is essentially a seal of quality. Mai Phat still exceeded them! It has since become our go-to lunch spot, as well as a local favorite for my wife's family. They specialize in egg noodles - served either dry (with broth and main protein on the side) or wet like a conventional soup bowl. My personal go-to is the dry mì sủi cảo - egg noodles with sliced / ground pork, huge wonton dumplings, a shrimp cracker, and broth on the side. The wontons come in a super rich and delicious sauce that I actually got scolded for pouring over my noodles lol. The light and clear broth is very refreshing and well-seasoned. Excellent mix of perfectly balanced flavors from every component. Add chili crisp for extra oomph. My wife loves the mì gà quay - fried chicken leg & thigh with the signature egg noodles. This is honestly one of the most perfectly seasoned and cooked fried chicken I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of fried chicken. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive Highly recommend Mai Phat for hearty, expertly crafted, and relatively guilt free Vietnamese comfort food

If you're looking for a dish that hits every craving at once, let me introduce you to Mi Vit Quay…read more(Kho): egg noodles tossed in a sweet and savory sauce, comforting broth, and crispy, fatty, perfectly tender duck. 10/10, I'd come back just for this dish alone! The experience doesn't stop at the food either. The server was super friendly, happy to give recommendations, and made everything feel easy and welcoming. Add in the fun decor and relaxed vibe, and it's the kind of spot you can bring anyone - family, friends, or just yourself when you want something tasty and satisfying!

We recently dined at Seven Grams…read more We had: Beef rolls: very good. Potatoes strings with shrimp: very good. Pig ears: I didn't try it but my sister loved it. Not my kind of food. :) Spicy pork paste over noodles: very good. Ham fried rice: good. Golden Prime beef noodles soup: very spicy and tasty. Southeast Asian Seafood Noodles Soup: very good, with a hint of basil, lime, and some chili pepper. Several types of xiao long bao: good. Definitely a must return since everything was delicious. We all enjoyed it!

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy but the wait wasn't too long though maybe 25…read moremins. They don't have many table to seat large parties (3+) they mostly have bar seating and the booth seating is pretty tightly packed so just a heads up that if you have a larger party you might need to wait longer. Luckily I got sat in their few middle tables that were spacious. I was able to order quickly and the workers are nice and gave me recommendations. Passion fruit green tea and this was definitely my favorite thing I ordered that day the drink was so light, refreshing, flavorful, but not too sweet the passion fruit seeds being in the drink was annoying though. (4/5) Spicy XLB they came out quick but I wished they were hotter they were just warm but delicious flavor and filling sadly was not spicy though no kick no heat at all. (3/5) Beef rolls nice and crispy lots of scallions and the cucumbers added a nice fresh aspect and crunch but needed more sauce. (3/5) Pan fried dumplings took the longest to come out were crispy but not that flavorful again very filling though. (2/5) Golden prime beef noodle soup I'm sorry but this was just not for my taste at all I can't even describe what flavor the soup was something I have never had before very unique. The noodles were nice and chewy but again I'm expecting soup to be hot but it just came out warm. (1/5) They had some sauce and chili oil on the table and I made a mix but it did not help add flavor to any of the items. I ordered too much and the leftover beef rolls and pan fried dumplings reheated well in the air fryer.

A friend recommended Nguyen's Kitchen to me. She said the bulgogi garlic noodles (with fried egg)…read moreand chicken wings would change my life! I stopped by for an early dinner on my way back to San Diego last weekend. My friend and I each got the bulgogi garlic noodles (I added the egg but for $2.50 not sure it added a lot of flavor or value to the dish), shared the wings and an order fries. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee on the cashier's recommendation--good suggestion, nice flavor without an overpowering amount of sugar. The wings were fantastic. Fries were fair, good portions and flavorful. I liked the noodles but weren't blown away. Everything was very soft, not a lot of textural change. The portion was generous with lots of bulgogi beef. The service was great--friendly and responsive. They have a small lot which was fine at 530pm on Sunday but probably problematic at lunch or normal dinner hours. My one complain was dirty dining room. Maybe it was just after the lunch rush, but the tables and floor could have used some wiping and the trash cans were full. Nice easy meal stop off the freeway at Orange.

Their rice is not fully cooked. How can an establishment let something so basic go unchecked?…read more Less importantly I wouldve preferred their grilled shrimp unshelled. And their garlic noodles and steak were bland. Lastly, I had to repeat my order (of two items) several times.

The food is why we return…read more Parking here isn't bad! There's enough space to drive around in peace. Leaving the lot though, I recommend you be safe and aware. At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha. Eventually the person who would be our actual server showed us to our table and was one of those "I'm here to get things done" kinda workers. Everything came out in an efficient manner and we were checked up on when necessary. No complaints here :) As always though, will definitely be coming back

This place have been on my list for a while since I live in the area as it has great reviews…read more Unfortunately everything was a miss here. The food was not very authentic. Tried the pho lunch combo with spring rolls for $23... the pho here was flavorless, but the rib meat was good, but for Vietnamese I was hopeful that their pho was at least good but I say this was most disappointing and also got to try their chicken bahn mi, I guess having to try various spots like THH Carrot and Daikon or pickle bahn mi, this doesn't even come close Not sure if we ordered the wrong stuff but food was nonetheless subpar However service was great and staff was very nice
