Consistently good food at a reasonable price. Quality ingredients you can taste. The pho is delicious with lots of customization, the add on fried garlic is a must. The crab Rangoon were tasty as well.

Chicken salad was below average and very simple

Entering into the restaurant the first thing you are greeted with is a large collage and other large wall art. The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and casual playing music in the background that doesn’t interfere with the dining experience. What I ordered was the pad Thai with chicken. The meal can be described with two words, sweet and simple. The chicken was cooked well though it was a little bit dry on its own, but when eaten together with the noodles, balanced the meal together, making it nice to eat. The flavour of the noodles was sweet and tangy with a hint of lemon. in addition, I was given red Chili sauce on the side and when mixed into the meal itself brought out the flavours of the chicken pad Thai and made it all the better. My complaint is that the peanuts were not poured with care but were poured into the side corner where I had to mix them in. Other than that I recommend this place. recommend it is a great place to order takeout as from enter to exit. It only took me five minutes to get my food.

I enjoyed the poached chicken pho, it was good but not great. Chicken was really nicely cooked, with the noodles were good and the broth was reasonable. The ingredients all. Fresh and the price was on the high side of okay. Service is very friendly, there's plenty of parking inside, seating is good, places very clean and modern.

We had the poached chicken pho and the grilled pork spring roll…it was really delicious, freshly made and full of flavor! I also like that they don’t use any MSG and the veggies are really crisp! This is our go-to in Irvine for authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

First thing that struck me was the price, I got 15 dollar pork banh mi sandwich which is quite expensive compared to other places I've gone (Lee's, THH, ect ) to where banh mi runs around ~7 bucks. I couldn't get a lower price just getting the sandwich without a side so chose salad.Food quality is just ok, while the meat portions were generous and tasty the flavor balance is thrown off with so much meat and the salad was the inverse being very very bland.Service was kinda meh. After ordering take out and was just browsing my phone in clear view of the counter but had to take it upon myself to notice that 2 other dine in folks were served ahead of me and that my food was on the counter. Otherwise they were very pleasant.

Best pho in Irvine! Fried rice and appetizers amazing as well! Good service and owner is really nice !
I have enjoyed coming here for a few years now and the flavors and quality of food has always been great. If you are looking for a must try bahn mi you have to come here. I’d also recommend their bone broth as it is worth trying on its own or in the pho.

Its really over modernized, kinda made it more fancy kind of Vietnamese place, but sadly the taste is kinda far from the good traditional Vietnamese taste, spent 30+$ for a bowl of pho, some eggroll, and a lychee tea. sadly you can only get 1 topings on your pho, because if you add another meat that would be another 15$, never got any water, they dont serve traditional topping like tendon, tripe, and the eggrolls are really just over modernized that the taste is so far.... service is idk. Maybe its a self service kinda place? I would definitely pick a small traditional mom and pop PHO place over this.

Owner is an amazing, talked to me and my friends and talked about the business and his story of getting the place. I’ve been here before a year ago and the food this time was way different in a good way. Food is really high quality and tasted amazing. Easily one of my favorite pho spots to go now. Prices are really good. 10/10 recommend to anyone.

Went here for a casual date night that offers Asian fusion including pho, banh mi, vermicelli, fried rice and pad Thai. Prices are standard (around $15-17 for each option) but you get a lot for your bite. They use fresh ingredients and offer healthy drink options as well. We went close to closing so it wasn't too busy and we got great seats to watch the basketball game :) There is enough seating inside but lots of tables that share w other restaurants outside. We ended up ordering the following: Vermicelli: get all the toppings! It melded well w the sauce and you get different textures in each bite. Banh mi: more than enough food, was full from the other two plates so we took it home. Ordered the pork banh mi. I personally liked the bread compared to other places as it wasn't too crunchy. Otherwise it was a standard overall roll. Pho: Broth was warming and soothing on a cool night! Not too salty. Delicious!
