1. The pho had a generous amount of meat and a clean broth! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lot can get crowded after 11:30 am on the weekends! Note: You pay at the counter first, and then you go to a table! Photo: Pho Tai Chin

This place is consistently speedy. We placed our order, chose our seats, and within 8 minutes, our food arrived. They're generous with the veggies, herbs, and extra onions. I got #2 and my husband got #3. The broth was rich and packed with protein. Service was quick, and a kind gentleman even offered us a beef bone on the house. Whenever I'm in the area, I always make sure to come back here for their pho--it's a must-try!

My favorite pho place in the area, for sure. I know Phoholic has multiple locations, but this one has had hit after hit with me. Unfortunately, it is located in an extremely busy plaza with other food competitors (such as Rodeo 39, Cane's, In-N-Out), so I would recommend just parking yourself in an aisle and waiting to see if anyone happens to be coming out. It does have an interesting system, where you queue up in front of the restaurant and order at the front prior to being seated. We came on a Sunday afternoon and waited no longer than 15-20 minutes, although the line was a bit daunting at first. The interior is your typical pho restaurant, with lots of seating and bustle (although you can also enjoy your pho outside). We did wait a little while for our pho to come out, but once it did, it was demolished quickly (as you can see, I didn't even take a picture). Absolutely fire. I will have to make another trip soon!

Came at around 7 on a Thursday night and the line was already at the sidewalk. But it goes by really fast so if you see a line don't worry! We ordered at the front and then they let you know where to sit. The people taking our order were really nice. You have the option of choosing inside or outside. There were a lot of tables inside and outside. I got the small #10. I was surprised at the size because it was HUGE! The broth was amazing!! I was STUFFED by the end of the meal.

First time here and I got to say it was amazing! I got the brisket and steak Pho. You make your order and then they give you a number and you go find a spot to sit. Right away someone brought out the soup garnishes chopsticks and even sauce. They brought out my soup very quickly I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. The bowl was huge! And very generous with the meat. I devoured the whole thing. Some of the best Pho in Orange County! I'm definitely coming back here and bringing my husband with me next time. The prices are very reasonable as well.

I ordered the pho chin and the noodles were nice and soft and the broth was very flavorful. The only thing I want to put on here as a negative is that they need to add more noodles and cut the fat from their meat but overall this place is pretty good.

The best vietnamese Pho that I have ever eaten in California. Reasonably priced and tasted authentic. Services were great too. Check them out!

Order at the counter when you first walk in. We came in on a Monday morning and it wasn't too busy. Service is good and fast. Seems consistent with other reviews. The broth is definitely rich, but not too salty. Got the phở đặt biệt, comes with all the different meats besides tripe. The thịt tái was one of the most tender meats I've had in phở. Ordered a side of beef tendon. Definitely worth the $5. It was humongous. Haven't been to the first location, so can't say which one is better, but lots of other fun shops around the area to have dessert.

Best Pho spot in West OC, hands down! Parking at Rodeo is generally tough, but going through the parking hassle is worthwhile for PhoHolic. Once you check-in, you pay before you are seated and the food is served within a few minutes. Service is fast and efficient. The soup is deliciously hot and fulfilling, and there's inside and outside seating available. Provecho!
There is only one size with plenty of meats. I ordered # 7, thịt gầu,came out the way I want it. Big bowl!Forgot to take pictures!

PhoHolic has officially set the bar for pho aficionados everywhere and the star of the show: the PHO! Never before have I encountered such a harmonious marriage of rich, flavorful broth and succulent, fatty meat. Each spoonful was a symphony of taste, a testament to the culinary mastery at PhoHolic.Now, onto logistics. While the first location may suffer from parking woes, fear not, for the second location offers a more accommodating solution. And let me assure you, it's worth every effort to find a spot. The prices are fair and reasonable, perfectly in line with the quality of the cuisine. It's a small price to pay for such an unforgettable culinary adventure.Whether you're a pho enthusiast or simply seeking an unPHOgettable dining experience, this is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I, for one, am already counting down the days until my next visit. PhoHolic has earned a permanent spot on my list of must-visit establishments in the OC.
