    So glad we stumbled upon this spot! The pho was delicious, but the real star was the extra crispy noodles(they're basically like chips), and my son absolutely loved them. The portions are huge with plenty of meat, so it's definitely worth the price. We actually shared two bowls between the three of us and it was more than enough. The broth is so flavorful, we'll definitely be back!

    By reading the reviews, I assume this establishment has excellent pho! Unfortunately I never got to experience the food here. Greeted and seated. Our waitress never came back out. There were only 2 families here. We waited 20 minutes before walking out. Nobody ever came to take our order.. poor customer service.

    GREAT FOOD ! I tried the pork rib and egg with salad and the flavor is awesome kinda sweet like bulgogi but tender loved the rice and the salad ! Fast friendly service and 2 TVs but not too loud that you can't talk to each other. Rocket shrimp are good and the garlic noodles are addicting lol . Bee back soon ! Me and my mother love this place me and my brother also . Thank you !!

    Pho with steak (which is underneath)

    Found this place on Yelp as I was in the area looking for hot soup. It's tucked away in a small plaza. Parking IMO wasn't so great as people parked in 2 parking spots (on/over the line). The parking space is already compact. Upon entering, there are two seating area. The one to the left seemed to be where they were seating everyone. And the seating area on the right seemed more for private parties (?) Their menu is pretty simple: appetizers, pho, rice/vermicelli dishes, and drinks. I order the pho with steak. There are options for other meats. The broth is very light and tasty. They give a good portion of meat (although you can't see it in my picture. Service was okay. Didn't really get much other than when I ordered and asking for to-go containers for my leftovers.

    We came here super late because it was one of the few places open late night. We order a bowl of pho and the garlic wings. The food was fantastic. The broth was light and flavorful, did not need any additional sauce at all. The wings had the perfect crunch and a nice sweet and tang (reminded me of a honey-soy type sauce). The size of the wings were great and the bowl for the pho was a decent sized bowl with plenty of meat. If you're out and about late and looking for a place to eat late night, check this place out.

    Wow Pho & Steak | Vietnamese | Anaheim Pho đặc biệt + Solid bowl of pho at a decent price. Not the best #goodeats but I'd never complain coming here. Broth is fairly flavorful and there's a decent amount of meat. Great place for us to grab a quick bite after the gym.

    Must try! Their pho is so good! I always come here when I'm craving for a nice bowl of pho. Broth is light yet flavorful. Just about every item I've tried on their menu is good actually. Great service, generous portions, reasonable prices.

    Bun cha Hanoi
    Katie N.

    Another day another Vietnamese restaurant review!!! Bún Chả Hà Nội: 5/5 The meat patties and slices were perfectly marinated, and all of the flavors shone through. Tender without being overly fatty. This restaurant does not skimp on the veggies! For the price, you get a filling portion. Service: 5/5 The employees were very nice and attentive. They took our order quickly and answered our questions about the menu. Ambiance: 3/5 The restaurant is older but clean. The ambiance lost points because there was no music -- the place was dead silent, which brought the experience and mood down. Overall: The Bún Chả Hà Nội was good and the prices are fair. Since I didn't enjoy the ambiance, I think this is a solid place for takeout.

    Have been going every few weeks for about a year now and it is my favorite pho place of all time! The service is polite and quick and the overall environment is very peaceful. For the food, the prices are very reasonable and there is always a surplus of meat in the combination pho. The broth is very flavorful, but not too overpowering. Overall, I absolutely love this place and would strongly recommend that anyone in the area try it!

    Quail
    Oscar Daniel R.

    This place has a very nice vibe to it once inside. This restaurant has very friendly service, decent amount of menu options, and everything at a great price! I highly recommend you to try their quail for an appetizer if you're really hungry for something other than pho. I will gladly return!

    Pho Tai Bo Vien
    Tri D.

    Broth is incredible and sweet! Not much extra sauces needed unless you like it spicy. Not too salty especially when you add the lime. Service is good and they open quite late. Highly recommend if ever in area again!

    Requested Side of Onions (no charge)
    Steven R.

    The high ratings on Yelp led me to try this place as it is located pretty close to home. Located in a small plaza is Wow Pho & Steak. This restaurant was previously a Chinese restaurant. It was previously called Choi's restaurant and then it became Mixx Kitchen. This isn't a good location for a restaurant as it seems to always be empty whenever I pass by. Came in on a Monday evening shortly after 5pm and was greeted by a kind lady. Interior was fairly clean, but the restaurant itself felt lonely. The layout seems kind of weird as there were two separate rooms. We were the only ones inside until one party showed up shortly after. Nobody else came in after that party while we were there. Food: P3 (Pho Tai Filet) $15 - Meat was tender, but a little chewy at the same time. Decent amount of meat & noodles. P7 (Pho Bo Vien) $14 - Typical meatball size (10 pieces). Good portion just like P3. Broth was pretty light yet oily. Personally, I didn't think it had that heavy depth of flavor overall. There's only one size the pho bowl comes in and I must admit, it's a pretty decent portion, not too small and not too overwhelming. My guest and I both had left over soup, but finished all our noodles. The veggies on the side were solid (bean sprouts, lime, jalapeno, basil) and the side of onions requested were a decent portion to share for two. Overall, it was just okay. Simple quick meal if you want a quick pho fix and you happen to be in the area. PS, They do serve beer here if you're interested in drinking with many other food options available on the menu. We were going to order egg rolls, but the price seemed kind of steep as it was 4 pieces for $10. We both got a stomachache after eating, but it could have been due to something else we ate prior to coming here. Not sure if we'd come back unless the other nearby pho restaurants were closed.

When I gave them my name, they mentioned it was still being prepared, which honestly made me excited because I figured the food would be extra fresh and piping hot. First impressions were excellent. The presentation and packaging were super professional. The black bag looked sleek, the container separated the toppings from the noodles perfectly, and even the utensils came in elegant packaging. Their bagging and presentation are honestly 10/10. The broth and noodles themselves were delicious -- rich flavor, great texture, and overall I'd rate that part a solid 9/10. Unfortunately, the experience changed when it came to the meat and broth temperature. Since the beef was raw, I expected the broth to be hot enough to cook it properly, especially because I started eating it immediately at the table outside near the fireplace. But the broth just wasn't hot enough. Even after letting the meat sit in the soup for around 4 minutes, it still tasted undercooked and had that iron/bloody taste, so I ended up removing most of it. Because of that, I wouldn't recommend ordering the pho to-go unless you're taking it home and can reheat the broth in a microwave. I don't have one at home, which is why I chose to eat it immediately nearby instead. That said, I would definitely come back -- next time I'd order dine-in instead because the flavor and presentation were genuinely very good.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.

Many dishes I've tried I would get again. The dining area is cozy with plenty of booth and table seating. The staff and service are always friendly and attentive. If you're adventurous with food or you are vegetarian/vegan, there are plenty of choices depending on what you're craving. From soups to rice dishes, vegan and raw entrées you won't find anywhere else. Most of the "meat" textures are pleasant and close to the real thing. A few of my current favorites: * Chicken Lemongrass has been my go-to and one of the cooked dishes I'll recommend for anyone who still eats meat. Comes with salad and black rice. * Wonton Soup has a clean, yet flavorful mushroom broth without being heavy. The wonton is tender with soy protein and mushrooms inside. * Humanese (Living Soup) is creamy and smooth with a pleasant flavor. * Yellow Noodles were a delicious bowl of light yet savory mushroom broth, fresh ingredients, a mix of vegan proteins, and thin noodles. * BBQ "Pork" Roll is a light starter with a tasty peanut sauce. * Salt & Peppered "Shrimp" - I enjoyed this, and the texture is close to an actual shrimp * The Paella is a pleasant and tasty surprise, with big slices of avocado and a blend of fresh, clean ingredients. * Bun No.35 is a refreshing, hearty dish that fills you up without feeling heavy. Pour the vegan fish sauce over the ingredients and mix well! * Curried Rice has a cool presentation, and the live food and fresh ingredients are delicious and filling. A few of my friends also enjoyed this dish. * Green Papaya Salad is a nice shareable classic dish with fresh ingredients, and the spice level is mild to medium. Elixirs, juices, teas, and smoothies can satisfy your taste buds and your body. Vegan desserts are also worth a try. Recently, they added vegan cakes! I'm looking forward to returning and trying more dishes!
