    Yummy Pho is absolutely delicious! The employees are very welcoming and friendly. The inside is very well maintained. The pho is so yummy from the deep rich beef broth to all the delicious meats & noddles. Also the beef ribs are so good! This is now our favorite pho spot!!! Bye bye soup shop and hello Yummy Pho:) I also recommend trying the 3 color dessert very tasty and perfectly sweet. The hubby recommends the Vietnamese coffee too! He says it's really good as it's not overwhelming with cream and condensed sweet milk. That you can taste the coffee. Everything is decently priced. As we came when they 1st opened and the prices were lower but they are still very responsible priced. Especially for the quality and quantity you get. We are going to be long time customers for sure. We drive all the way from the IE to eat here. It's that yummy! Overall Yummy Pho is the perfect spot for some delicious food made with love!

    Yummy pho isn't just in a name, it's actually yummy pho! My fam and I had the pleasure of trying this place out during a Thursday for dinner. I can't help but notice how clean the interior is. As we glanced through the menu, first impression counts and they offered us free hot or cold tea! Mind you it's a small cup but it's the thought that counts. I ended up getting the pho with rare steak and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The staff brought out the goodies like bean sprouts, jalapeños, and lime in a min and the pho noodles in 5 mins. Talk about fast service! The pho was yummy, just the right flavor, and they were very generous with the rare steak slices too. What was the cherry on top was their homemade Vietnamese bbq chili! It's dark red in color and really went well with every bite of pho. I complimented how good it was and the staff brought out a plastic container for us, just so we can bring some of that yummy chili home! I truly appreciate you going the extra mile! My to go chili is running pretty low so we should make a trip back real soon! ;)

    Service is awesome, but recipe needs work. We came once, but didn't enjoy the food so we decided to give it another try just in case our first experience was just a fluke. When it comes to phở in the OC, the competition is tough to beat. * Phở Tái, Gân, Bò Viên: 6/10 - broth had a slightly sour aftertaste and meatballs didn't have any tendon The workers were super attentive and friendly which made our experience even better. The place was very spacious and we enjoyed sitting in the booths. They're located in the Catinat Plaza which has plenty of parking, but can crowded at peak times. Overall, not the worst but also not the best.

    I came back and wanted to try the beef stew but server said meat would be fatty ( since I asked for lean meat). So I decided to order the chicken pho instead. That was a great decision. It was very good! They served the chicken on a separate plate and it was so tender and juicy. I requested no chicken skin and instructions were followed exactly. Also requested not too much noodles and they gave me about 5 strings of noodles. That was hilarious. :) But it was my fault. Just didn't want to waste their noodles since I can never finish the whole bowl of noodles at any restaurant. Overall, great experience. Dipping sauce for the chicken was also very good.

    We ordered the #5 which was the pho with ribeye, lean brisket, and fatty brisket. First off I usually add hoisin and Sriracha to my pho but I thought I'd taste it without and WOW, I definitely did not need to add any as the broth was very flavorful and the meat was super tender. We got the side of beef ribs and unlike at other pho locations, the ribs here were super juicy, tender, and filled with lots of meat. I'm used to other pho spots giving fatty beef ribs so I really enjoyed what this place had to offer. The staff was super friendly, very attentive, and the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately when I came they were sold out of Thai tea, but I don't blame them as everything we ordered was so delicious. I ended up leaving here absolutely stuffed and would 100% come back even though it is a bit of a drive from where I live. Definitely recommending this place to my friends and family, and I look forward to returning. Pro tip: This place is in the back of the plaza so make sure to drive down.

    We came here on a Wednesday at 2pm so thankfully there was no wait. The pho is fresh and tasty, I got the ribeye which was so good because there was no fat on it. My mom could t finish her pho because they gave her a lot of meat! Ambiance is fresh and clean. Lots of tables and plenty of parking.

    Lots!! $12.99 Pho suon, gau, va bo vien! I asked for tendons instead of fat briskets. Dude ok it then gave me fat briskets -_-

    My nephew was craving Pho. I decided to go here because I remembered seeing a review from Vivian C. She mentioned that the quality was good and the portion was reasonable for the price. Thank you, Vivian! You were absolutely right. I was amazed with the amount of meats provided in the bowl. Totally worth it for $12.99. The flavor was great. I esp enjoyed the Pho here. It was really good. Hmm..i wonder what brand they got lol Fresh greens. We were a party of 4. We were only given one plate of greens, which had very little. We asked for more. The waiter did give us an awkward stare, but ended up bringing out more greens. So all good =) Hot tea was free, I believe. Appreciated it. Pho ga was not bad, but the broth was not hot enough. Pho was the better deal =) Will definitely return for pho =)

    I came here a few days when their soft opening and I also went to their other Location in FV . Both places I was very satisfied, with the current price increase they sell a bowl of pho like that is very reasonable, very cheap and good quality . The ribs pho is my favorite, Not only beef ribs, they can also add rare meat and beef balls only $12.99 . Fast and very nice service you get free hot tea or iced tea as well. I'm definitely coming back to support them .

    Grand Opening! Have to take the long drive! Lol

    Came here on an early Saturday morning for Yummy Pho's Grand Opening Day! Parking was survival of the fittest and we survived! : ) It was located inside a Vietnamese Food/Cafe Plaza so it definitely got busy. We put our name on the waitlist with staff at the entrance. It was a wait but expected due to Grand Opening. We were given a table number and walked over. Staff came to take order. Then pay at the register. Prices here are also very reasonable comparable to portion sizes. Pho Ga/Chicken Pho - definitely recommended. If you're an American eater, you're in luck because their breast meats are cheaper than dark meats here but it's bone-in so get those 10 soldiers ready! Chicken meats (breast) were tender and well marinated where I did not smell the "meat smell" and dipped in ginger sauce! Broth was light and tasty. Beef Pho - rare steak, tendon, tripe. It was okay. I probably order Pho Ga when I return. Rich beef broth and tender meats/tendon. Staff was very fast with services today. Nobody checked in on us but it was very very busy so I understood - whatever we needed was brought to us within minutes. Staff was smiling, serving, constantly on their feet, checking on potential hangry customers waiting outside. Gift Box: every table receive a gift box with desserts inside. They smelled so good with all my favorite Vietnamese desserts! A must-have! Raffle: They also have tickets for raffle at the cashier for Grand Opening day. One negative thing though was that there are two Cafes on both ends and I could smell the cigarette smokes while waiting outside. only 2 seats for waiting inside. Surprisingly, restroom was very clean so that was a plus.

    Dry pho ga, dark meat

    I've been to Yummy Pho before, but the soft opening of this new location brings pho ga/ chicken pho to the table and god damn it's pretty good. The kicker is the meat is salted steamed, while a lot of places will just boil it forever. Man this is some of the most tender chicken I've ever had with pho. I will say it does sell out pretty quickly for now, so if it's gone their regular pho is still pretty solid. But they even have a dry style too with soup on the side that I'm a fan of with mi! But place is clean and staff is friendly, can't honestly complain at all. I went 3 times in two days LOL

    Connie T.

    They're known for their Pho Ga, which is what I'd return for. My husband had the Beef Pho--it was a bit different from the traditional style but still enjoyable. We also got an egg roll on the side; it came with three pieces. Service was decent, though you do have to pay at the register. The place is new with nice, modern decor. Overall, a good spot, especially for Pho Ga.

    The broth is clean and they pack their meats. Such an affordable price for a big bowl

    Melody G.

    The chicken pho was good. I prefer the chicken already in the soup and not having to cut it up. We did not care for the egg rolls. Very limited menu, but they are newer so I'm sure they will expand in time.

    Nice decor

The meal starts with what feels like an endless lineup of little side dishes, a fried fish, rice in a scorching hot stone bowl, and then the bubbling tofu soup (medium spice for me) arrives like it's angry at the table. I ordered the bulgogi combo (C2) and everything was flavorful, comforting, and honestly just fun to eat. OK maybe a few too many onions for me. The stone pot rice situation was an adventure on its own. They ask you if you want them to pour hot water into the bowl to loosen the crispy rice stuck to the sides. I tried it. Felt very authentic. Still not fully convinced my rookie self handled it correctly, but we survived. What I liked most was the atmosphere and adventure. You can tell this place has a loyal following and there's a reason Yelp absolutely loves it. It feels authentic without being intimidating, and the portions are no joke. I took home enough leftovers for round two the next day. If you've only done Korean BBQ before, this is a completely different experience and definitely worth trying. Bring friends, come hungry, and don't be afraid to look a little confused your first time. Apparently that's part of the experience. Easy 5 stars for me. P. S.

I was curious about Kei Concepts and their empire of polished restaurants around SoCal, and my first entry is here, at SUP Noodle Bar. I was also intrigued by the claims of one of LA's best places for pho. Unlimited pho refill is certainly convincing by itself. Luckily, I was visiting LA right when they started a beef belly pho lunch special, which made our meals such a fantastic value! - Golden "Bao" (one bao) Literally a steamed pork bun that's been fried, so it's crispy on the outside. It was interesting, and the fried aspect made the bread part more doughy opposed to pillowy. The inside was a typical minced pork meatball, a little ginger forward. I'm not too fond of steamed buns or meatballs, so not created with my taste in mind, but it's certainly unique. - Pho Beef Belly The broth is a little extra salty, sweet, and sour than I prefer. It's also more mellow yellow instead of a clear brown so I am missing beefiness. It could maybe could use some additional earthy spices and more savory beef flavor, though I respect that it's flavorful in some aspect. The beef belly basically comes off as hot pot beef slices, which are always welcome in my mouth. I found it interesting how we were asked whether onions were okay to include in the bowl when ordering. The amount of fresh green onions and cilantro atop the noodles were perfect. If I came here again, I'd try some other side dishes and get my pho shaken style, as that seemed to be popular. While I don't think the broth compares to my favorites in NorCal, I really like the refill availability and fusion sides. Considering they look a little extra fancy and modernized over a traditional pho place, the prices are still pretty good. Work on that beef flavor!

The meats are tender, portions are generous, and the noodles always have the perfect texture. If you're a first-time visitor, I highly recommend trying one of their signature pho bowls. Their garlic noodles are another standout. Perfectly seasoned with a buttery garlic flavor and a slight savory kick, they pair incredibly well with the grilled meats. The shaken beef and grilled pork are both excellent options if you're looking for something beyond traditional pho. One thing that really sets Sup Noodle apart is the variety of appetizers and sides. The crispy egg rolls are packed with flavor, and the wings are surprisingly good--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with just the right amount of sauce. Don't skip the house sauces either; they elevate every dish. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. Even during busy lunch and dinner hours, the staff does a great job keeping things moving and maintaining a friendly atmosphere. Service has always been attentive without feeling rushed. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Expect a wait during peak lunch and dinner times, especially on weekends. * The garlic noodles are absolutely worth adding to your order. * If you're dining with a group, order several appetizers to share. * Parking can get busy, but turnover is usually quick. Overall, Sup Noodle Bar delivers excellent food, generous portions, and consistently great service. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho, flavorful garlic noodles, or simply looking for a reliable restaurant in Irvine, this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back.

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

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant but they're very busy on a weekend so I popped in on a…read moreweekday and loved it! The restaurant was not busy at all, nice and quiet, great service of course since it wasn't busy. I ordered grandma's dry egg noodles and they have one of the best dry noodles I've ever had since moving to OC. They put the perfect amount of sauce, some places don't have enough sauce for the noodles. Also had plenty of protein. I added an order of wonton's which is an additional charge but well worth it. The broth on the side is so refreshing! What I love most is that this restaurant is still very affordable, $10.99 for a bowl of dry noodles is amazing. Definitely a returning customer!

    I came in for the Sweet Corn Milk BOGO & the cashier already told me they ran out, I asked further…read more& he said an hour ago. So I decided to try an OC entree for $9.99. I picked the Sò Lông Nướng Mỡ Hành & it was really good. But then I felt something hard when I was chewing & I think I chipped part of my tooth - I'm going to go home & have my boyfriend check it for me & I'll attach the photo of my chipped tooth. Anyway, I have a crown cap so I wasn't super alarmed, but still a bit shook. I still finished my food but I politely tried to let one of the cashiers know. I showed him & everything & he was apologetic & asked what they could do to fix the situation. So I asked for a refund. And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer. Btw they give you plastic utensils here even for dining in which is a con.

    Really great individual hot pot deal for weekday lunch. It's $14.99 for the pot and a kumquat drink…read moreso it's such a good deal, especially in comparison to Boiling Point which the prices for have gone up recently and there's always a long line there. I also love the unique flavor options here! I really enjoyed the Mongolian lamb pot, the flavor of the broth was good and the lamb wasn't too gamey. The Thai style one was like a tom yum soup base. Both pots came with endless amounts of toppings and a choice of vermicelli or rice. I love individual hot pot because you can try a little bit of a lot of different things. Service was fast and efficient and the interior is spacious and clean. I'll definitely be back when I get my next hot pot craving!

    Two strikes so I've got to write. :(…read more First incident: I had a good experience the first time I came here so I brought my husband and my sister back. Hubby ordered the salmon rice. The picture on the menu shows a piece of grilled salmon but what they brought out was totally different. Thank god, it was good anyway. Sister and I trying to order the same hot pot I ordered before and owner told us no, we cannot swap the pork belly out on the Thai hotpot. Told him I was able to do that before. He said "I'm not sure who let you do that but no, we do not allow that." I told him "you did, you let me swap the pork belly for the lean beef the previous time. I still have a picture of it on Yelp". Anyhow, he insisted No. We went ahead and ordered two beef hotpot's and the broth was salty. We had to pour some water in the hotpot to soften up the saltiness. Second incident: I came here on Thursday evening. Walked in that door at 9:10 pm and the server quickly told me: "No, we already had our last call!" Say what? the sign on the door says open til 10:00 pm and it is only 9:10 pm? If you don't want to serve late, then change your hours listed on the door and close those doors at 9:00 pm instead. Not good!!!
