The pho here is pretty good, not anything super spectacular - I ordered vegetarian pho in attempt to be healthy and it was mostly bok Choy for vegetables. We came on a Saturday evening for dinner time and it was fairly empty just us and another customer seated. Service was quick. The beef garlic noodle was good, a bit on the greasy side but beef was tender and free tea! Winter melon tea was delicious. No free dessert anymore! I didn't like that the lighting inside at night it was cool fluorescent lights didn't feel very warm or homey.

Very clean restaurant with music playing which is not usual in other pho restaurants. The plaza has plenty of parking. My husband and I visited on a Sunday and the broth was light and tasty. My meatballs were less flavorful and the fatty steak was very chewy but overall, the menu has a variety of choices for pho depending on which type of your meats up to a supreme combo for $17. The staff was attentive at the beginning but you must pay at the front counter rather than they come to you. The entrees come with a free sweet peach tea or sweat Thai milk tea. The photos of other customers getting a grass jelly dessert convinced me to try this place but unfortunately it was not offered so I assume it depends who is in the kitchen. Plenty of long tables and chairs if you need to entertain a large party but with so many competing pho restaurants, I'm interested in trying the rest before coming back.

A great pho place in Santa Ana. I got the pho brisket and the portion was surprisingly very big. The flavor of the soup was really good not salty (no msg) compared to other pho places. I also loved that the restaurant was very clean

In my opinion good pho is about broth. And hot damn, the broth here is just excellent. I mean, the meat and noodles are great, but I feel like that's easier to do. The broth though. I will be dreaming about it.

Possibly my new favorite pho place! Stumbled upon this little gem that's hidden in a plaza off harbor. There was a good amount of parking. The restaurant is nice and clean and has a good amount of seating. I ordered the filet pho with flat noodles. The flat noodles had such a nice thin texture that just melt in my mouth. The filet also melt in my mouth. The both was very flavorful. There have a promo right now where you can get a free drink with an order over $12. I got the rose honey tea. I felt it was a bit too sweet and floral for my taste though. They have a bunch of other items on their menu that I would love to come back and try.

Their pho is not bad however the location is a little bit catchy. The place is nice and clean. Parking can be tight depending on the time and day. Very nice and friendly service. The price has been increased based on previous reviews on yelp. Love their drink!

This hole in the wall is slept on in terms of food quality and experience. I pulled up on a Tuesday night and it was empty. While I was skeptical, my boyfriend and I decided to try it anyway and I'm glad I did. We both got pho with rare steak and meatballs. The broth was flavorful and did not taste full of MSG. There were quite a bit of noodles and an ok amount of beef. There is a current promotion if you order $12 or more per person, you get a free drink. My boyfriend opted for Thai tea and he said it was pretty good. The owner was also kind enough to give us dessert on the house which was grass jelly with evaporated milk. In my eyes, it was a decent experience and I will be back the next time I crave pho.
