    Great late night food option. Not a lot of food available late at night and we've been putting off going to this joint. Service was fast and the restaurant was nice and clean. I thought it was a really good bowl of pho and the rib inside was nice and tender. We liked the eggrolls and even ordered the filet mignon with garlic noodles. Both were above average and they also had a great drink selection.

    Veggie pho in veggie broth with side of beef rib (loved the generous helping and variety of veggies offered)
    Christine N.

    Loved my first visit here! The veggie pho with vegan broth was so good! They offered a variety of veggies, too! Also tried a bite of the beef off the rib, it was soft, juicy, and tender! Definitely coming back to try other options. Can't believe haven't heard of this place until recently.

    Wonderful restaurant with a nice and simple menu with large detailed pictures of each item. The food is delicious with solid portions. The oxtail pho was phenomenal, with the meat super soft and falling off the bone. The filet mignon garlic noodles were also packed with flavor. A modern and clean aesthetic with friendly and chill staff.

    The sign that has us turning around!

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed some healthy, belly-filling pho. Glad we saw the "Soup Shop" sign! We had delicious steak pho- and the best part?- noodle refills! We will be back! The end.

    Pho rib bone
    Clinton C.

    Standard decent pho. The rib bone was a bit dry, galbitang rib bone is more tender. If you're used to 626 pho, this is not as good. Did have indoor and covered outdoor seating for my dog. Plenty of parking inside a large plaza

    Pho Brisket
    Eleanor C.

    Food was delicious! I ordered a beef brisket pho and we got the filet mingon fries for the table. Both the both of pho and the fries filled us up well and I appreciated the quick service the servers had when accommodating our requests. The broth was really warm and the fries were perfectly crunchy. I would come back with friends and family to try! They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Pho Chicken (Thigh or Breast) breast

    Chicken Pho with lots of tender white chicken breast in savory broth is super delicious and added vegetables to the order We also ordered the fried chicken plate that was very yummy because it was crispy on the outside but juicy, flavorful deboned tender chicken on the inside, perfectly prepared. Service was terrific as well, Tay. Sat inside because it was warm day but we have sat outside before on the nice covered patio area. Very tasty food, generous portions, reasonably priced. Highly recommend this location in Irvine.

    Rib bone
    Crystal C.

    This place serves a solid bowl of pho. The broth had a nice depth of flavor, the noodles were pleasantly chewy, and the meat was cooked well. My only complaints about the pho itself are that I wish the soup had come out hotter, and there was a giant piece of tripe in my bowl that hadn't been cut down at all. It was awkward to eat and felt like something that should have been trimmed into smaller pieces before being served. Overall, it was still a satisfying bowl. That said, there were a few things that left me confused. I ordered the Pho Combination by pointing to the photo on the menu, which clearly showed a beef rib and was labeled as the combination pho. When my bowl arrived, there was no rib included. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, but it felt a bit misleading. I ended up ordering the rib on the side for an additional $6, and it didn't arrive until I was already halfway through my meal. Our waiter recommended the sautéed scallion corn, so we decided to give it a try. The dish was a bit confusing. When I think of a corn appetizer, I expect either a smaller portion or something that's meant to be shared alongside other dishes. Instead, it was just a large bowl of corn. Since the menu is mostly pho, noodles, and rice dishes, it didn't really feel like it paired naturally with anything we ordered. We basically ended up eating spoonfuls of corn between bites of our meal. The flavor was okay, but nothing memorable, and I think it could have been seasoned more aggressively. The Vietnamese coffee also wasn't my favorite as it had a slightly burnt taste. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean and the pho was satisfying. I was disappointed to learn they no longer offer unlimited noodles,l.

    Pho Combination
    Mohammad H.

    An amazing pho shop in Irvine with excellent quality and fantastic options. We tried the combination pho and the brisket pho. And I have to say if you love trying different kinds of meat, the combination pho is the way to go. Packed with flavor, you get brisket, meatball, ribeye, tripe, and tendon. We also had spicy mango habanero wings, and they were delicious. Deliciously spicy but nothing overpowering. Definitely recommend it as an appetizer. Will definitely be back for a late-night meal.

    I want start off by saying this restaurant is number #12 for Yelp elites in the US for Pho. I was looking for a late night Pho run, however it was an interesting experience. I ordered Horchata because I was in the mood for something sweet and the drink tasted like water. I also ordered the popcorn chicken per the picture, but I feel like I got bait and switched i.e. the photo that was uploaded. It's definitely very Americanized and more of a fusion flare. I also feel like the server forgot we ordered popcorn chicken, so it came out after we finished eating our main order. The pho broth was a little bland, onions, and lime were excluded from the toppings + I would not go there again for the Pho. A few pros were the menu is very aesthetically pleasing it's almost like a picture book and there are big proportion sizes you can share among people!

    Garlic Noodle with Shaken Filet Mignon
    Mehul M.

    The food is pretty good and consistent. The shake beef filet mignon hits each time and the noodles are not too garlicky. All the apps are good too. Glad to see Irvine finally having some more places that are actually open late since the city needs that. The employees and ambiance is really nice.

    Pho Brisket
    Cecile W.

    This place is decent if it's overcast and you don't want to drive 20 min up the 405 or 5/22 to Little Saigon area. The broth is alittle watery but plus side, it's not salty. The brisket is super thin and tender, but not a lot of meat to noodle ratio. I was still pretty hungry and drank more broth for the protein. My friend ordered the pho combo. The menu pic is alittle misleading because it shows the rib bone add-on. It's a spacious interior and you can also eat in the communal patio outside. The condiments are nicely nestled in wooden stands. I wasn't frustrated with my decision to save time and gas and stay in this area for lunch, but mildly regretted it.

    Pho Rib Bones
    Liann L.

    If you're coming from a flight, soup shop is always so good. It has big portions, delicious soup, and of course delicious meat. The meat really is the star of the show, I think every time I take a bite out of it for the first time in a while I always get surprised how good it is and start nodding. Particular the Pho Rib Bones!! I highly recommend that one!! Soup is super flavourful too. Definitely one of my go to spots. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Nothing too crazy but I like the design of it. Haven't tried rice dishes but I would love to one day

I know what I'm gonna get. Nothing crazy or fusion about it. Just some classic viet staples like broken rice or vermicelli bowls and that's what I want. I feel they get overlooked a lot because of all the other restaurants in the plaza but the plus side to that is I rarely have to wait to be seated. Service is great, they're always attentive or easy to flag down. Of course the plaza itself is terrible and parking can be rough during peak hours, but if you're patient you'll be rewarded with some comforting viet food.

I went with a friend and we ordered the Banh Beo which is Steamed Rice Flour Cakes with Shredded Shrimp. They come in these little shallow plates and you put the sauce into the plate and then spoon it into your mouth. They are squishy in texture, and the shredded shrimp is super flavourful. I absolutely love banh beo and happy I found a place that makes really good ones! I ordered the Bun Thit Ga Nuong which is a noodle dish with Grilled Lemongrass Chicken. This also has some peanut bits served on top. I love how fully packed this dish is with all the different ingredients. Vegetables, meat and noodles - what is there not to love about this! My friend ordered the Mi Quang which is made with yellow noodles and more of a soup dish with Pork Ribs and Patties. I love the dimensions of this dish because of the soup base and then you get pork ribs, which is not something that's served as often (usually it's just grilled pork, beef or chicken). The pork ribs were seasoned well and come off the bone. I loved how quickly the service was. We got all of the items in a timely manner and everything was served hot, so you know it was made fresh. There's good ambiance at the restaurant - a few families, 2-3 people at a table - and everyone enjoying their food. Great ambiance all together since everyone was eating and chatting away. I really enjoyed my visit and I plan on coming back in the future. I heard great things about their Banh Xeo, so that will be the next thing I try next time I visit!

I've had something similar from Pok Pok Wing in Las Vegas (sadly, all their locations are closed).
