“Finally good banh cuon in the SGV so I don't have to drive out to Garden Grove! This little shop is such a gem and run by a grandma, a sweet old lady who doesn't understand a word I say but communicates with me through exchanged smiles and a thumbs up. The banh cuon is bouncy, not super thin, but I love the bite to it. The pork filling is so flavorful and it's a great portion size for the price. I love that the bean sprouts and cucumbers come blanched, the fried sweet potato is perfectly fried. The food and the place just feels homey. It's one of those shops I want to gatekeep all for myself but also want everyone to know about so they never close down... hahah!“
“One word, "excellent pho." The pho tastes so delicious here. Service here are friendly and comfortable. My favorite dishes are Pho Kobe and BBQ Pork with steamed broken rice. Most dishes are good. Lastly, desserts here are also good and include the coffee. They also welcome feedback :)“
“I have been Vietnam and had Pho from the north and the south. Vietnam is a long country and occupies the east coast of Southern Asia. Northern pho known as pho “bac” which translates to north. It’s more simple there, just beef soup with the essential 5 spice seasoning and tender sliced beef with fresh ginger. Southern pho has the “dac biet” which translates to special. Southern pho is packed with sliced beef rounds, and a variety of parts from the cow. This includes tripe, tendon, brisket, and beef balls, no fresh ginger. Portions in Vietnam are much smaller than the states and cost almost half.Pho Hai has both, the Pho Bac and the Pho Dac Biet. But, what makes it even more special is they have sliced Kobe beef as an add on to their pho. OMG! Their Kobe is thick sliced, just enough marbling and just melts in my mouth.The bowls are enormous and can actually feed 2 person. It’s loaded with lots of meat, almost every bite has meat and noodles. They serve their pho with fresh Basil, herbs, bean sprouts, fresh cut jalapeño and slice of lemon.The heart of a good Pho is the base of their soup, they use beef bones cooked for hours to extract all the beefy flavor of the broth.When consuming pho, the first thing I do is to take a spoon and taste the broth before I go in for the kill. This is when you know you will enjoy the rest of your meal Or you know you will have dry mouth later from all the MSG. Many pho establishments skimp on using a lot of beef bones for the soup. Instead, they use MSG-mono sodium glutamate as a cheat. I never had a bad experience with Pho Hai, their soup is always on point.They have a few secret items that is not on their menu, my favorite is the beef bone with beef marrow. This item is only available after 2pm and on a limited basis. It comes in a giant plate with a knife and fork, lots of meat and tendon is still stuck on the bone. The bonus is the bone marrow, it’s rich and savory. Also provide is a home made roasted chili sauce, dip the tendon or meat in and life is great.“
“Ordered through DoorDash craving a Vietnamese sandwich for lunch, I got the special sandwich and iced coffee. The sandwich was a decent size for the price, really affordable. Honestly it was a good sandwich,perfect amount of meat and veggies. The coffee was great as well, will be ordering from them again!“
“This place is really good. Got the chicken and rice noodles and it was really good. I think the chicken is super fresh because the chicken had some of the fibers on the skin which I don’t mind. It’s the natural way and I love it. They gave us fresh clean sprouts and basil leaves. Definitely coming back here again.“
“My go to for dry noodle! We always get the house special dry noodle version to go for lunch. We literally come here once a week because it's so good and the portion is super generous. It can feed up to 2 people so be sure to share or ready to take some back home! This location has a huge parking lot and it never an issue finding one.“
“I love this place. I've been going since I was a little kid (that was 20+ years ago). The staff and service is always so friendly and attentive. I love their Bún Chả Giò Chay. It's my regular order! They have a solid selection of Vegan Vietnamese food and very affordable prices. If you're looking for real Vietnamese Vegan food, this is the spot!“
