“Very good food, egg rolls great! Owners are very nice. Simple decor, my favorite neighborhood stop now. Food delicious!! Chicken pho was huge, wonderful flavors. So fresh. Loved the Thai corn. Look forward to trying more items.Parking: Quick parking, easy. I should walk here, it's so close to me!“
“Well known spot in the community. Their pho is 12.95 and for one dollar more you can get the large size. This is real Pho. Broth is good quality none of that seasoning packet stuff some restaurants do. They have a huge variety of dishes but I definitely recommend the Pho and the boba milk tea slush. I shared a large pho with my boyfriend who is familiar with Vietnamese cuisine and he could not stop saying "wow this is so good" and he almost ate my entire meal even though he stated he did not want anything previously. Definitely give a try if you like good Vietnamese food.“
“Reopened after fire. Pho soup is wonderful as always. kitchen staff was confused about food portion. Roll was kind of dry but owner had kitchen fresh made it and served again. Quality was great. Only third day after reopening. Restaurant is totally renovated and much better atmosphere. Must try if you love pho!“
“I have eaten inside 399 Vietnamese Kitchen countless times, and it is on point every time. The servers are very courteous. The pho never requires any toppings or sauces, because the broth and seasoning are perfect on their own. I also love all of the banh-mi, noodle dishes, and shaken beef. It feels so good to find your favorite place!“
“I honestly was recommended of this place by a friend. I love to get egg rolls here. I tend to pay in cash. They have a wide variety in their menu but I tend to order just egg rolls and it’s quick. Would definitely recommend this place if you want good egg rolls.“
“The portion is big which I like.Haven't tried a lot of Vietnamese food around here but I think it's pretty close to authentic food I've had in Vietnam.The fish sauce is a good indicator of authenticity. - very close but still lacks a little.Overall, for the price paid, it's worth it and not as pricey as compared to anything within Irvine.Parking: A lot of parking space and free.“
“The personnel is very inattentive at this spot. First of all, there was no one at the front desk, and we waited for a pretty long time before being seated, even though the restaurant had plenty of tables available. Also the waiters barely come to the tables and never check on you after getting the order. The food was pretty good, although pad Thai was a little more sour than what we are used to. The seafood pho was okay. The Thai tea had a weird flavor, as if burned or something. Overall though, everything was fine.“
“Everyone said it is good, so we thought maybe we should give it a try! Arrived at the last minute, around 8:20ish, still waiting for a few groups of people and then got in. We ordered the oxtail pho and a regular beef pho. Small portions already come with lots of noodles, enough to fill me up. The soup is amazing; I couldn't finish the noodles but cleaned up all the soup. And the oxtail might be the reason why this place is so awarded; it was super tender, soft, and delicious. Especially with the sauce, it elevates it to the next level. The meat melting in my mouth felt like heaven! Will definitely come back again and again if I pass by this area. The price is also cheap considering the level of tasty food, the only thing to keep in mind is this place is cash only. While check out, I tried to leave a tip, but the mama handed me the exact change for our meal instead. I insisted, leaving the tip again. It was a bit awkward, but hey, the food's worth it!“
“Spring roll peanut sauce was pleasant. The brisket used in the pho can almost become a tender meal on it's own. Different from other pho restaurants. No MSG headaches. Clean big pieces of meat, soft silky noodles, steamed bean sprouts to prevent soup from cooling too quickly. The only complaint is the hard seats in the booth. You'll know what I mean.“
“This little hidden gem in Irvine served up some amazing food. Ordering is easy through a kiosk. The food comes out packaged in take out boxes. There are a few tables in the restaurant for eating and some patio chairs outside. We ordered the pork banh mi, garlic noodles and pork belly, Thai tea and lychee lemonade. The banh mi was flavorful and had the perfect amount of meat. The garlic noodles and pork belly was my favorite. The pork was so crunchy yet still juicy. There's a green sauce for your noodles which was absolutely addicting. The Thai tea here was legit, on the level of any boba shop. I definitely recommend Saiga if you have never tried and craving some good Vietnamese food!“
“The space is spacious and airy. On weekends, if you go early, it will help users. I really like stir-fried snails with coconut and fried rice with shrimp and crab. The staff is very cute and enthusiastic, I will come back. Reasonable price with the great quality.“
“In general, we had an enjoyable meal at the Pho Nic. The fragrant rice and delicate chicken in the Hainanese chicken rice made for a delightful dinner. The spring rolls were tasty but didn't leave any lasting impression. The kids' pho bowl was decently sized and tasted, but overshadowed by their chicken rice meal. The interior was modern and contemporary, and the service was good. Overall, it is a good option for a tasty meal, particularly if you're craving chicken rice in this location.“
“I so love and appreciate Dan for all the care, heart and soul they put into creating this nurturing restaurant, and adding such goodness to the world.I’ve been coming here for years. Each time I’m greeted with the most sincere smiles and warmth.The food is fresh, delicious and oh so satisfying.One time years ago I got food poisoning. I can’t remember how it came to be that Dan and Si, his brother, learned of this, but they literally made me food to eat for each stage of my healing. Broth, a mash, and other foods, all made to nurture me back to health.I’ll never forget this kindness or the example of his commitment to always providing excellent service and the most wonderful food.I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and wish for it to have great success and longevity!“
“My husband and I had the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice with grilled ribeye on the side and everything was amazingly very tasty. Definitely coming back to try more on the menu. Service was excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking isn't a problem. This place definitely is keeper.“
“Honestly, it’s hard to find a Vietnamese Vegan restaurant that delivers authentic Vietnamese cuisine. When all others promote fusion restaurant archetypes, Saigon Vegan pushes authentic Vietnamese cuisine and refuses to take shortcuts.If you are looking for a great meal served by wonderful people, I highly recommend this place.“
“Uber eats will double stack order for drivers here and take one to apartments where u can be there for half and hour..while other food sits and waits.. never do they ever double stack McDonald's food like this.. all done by a computer then . Unfair to “
“We got the popular food menu items: garlic noodles and the beef stir fry. I really don’t understand the hype at all. The meat was extremely dry and chewy while the garlic noodles didn’t have much flavor. The grilled shrimp is basically in the name itself, there’s not much flavor besides that. Was very disappointing. Although the appetizers saved the day. The wontons and chicken wings were absolutely phenomenal, an explosion of flavors. Did the popular food items deserve the price tag? No, but I’d rather have the appetizers be the entrees.“
“So so good!! Make a reservation!!! Service was great, restaurant is large with lots of windows. Unique Viet fusion dishes. We wanted to try so much more!! The coffee and non alcoholic drinks were good, but not amazing. But the food is a different story!! Would come back to try the rest of the menu!“
“I usually go to pho 79, but I wanted to try a different place and was recommended by a neighbor to try this place and it did not disappoint.The owner is super friendly and made us feel really comfortable. Feels like one of those places where you go and the owner knows you and chats up with you.The pho was amazing. I am extremely picky when it comes to pho and a creature of habit, but this place went above my expectations. The broth is very clear and has a really good taste. Feels so clean and beefy.Their meat is fresh and has a really good taste.I think pho 79 has finally been dethroned as my number 1 pho place.“
“Love this place! Pho is excellent both in flavor and quality. They offer two sizes: small and large and both at a great price. Quality of the meat is good too. The restaurant is very clean, lots of seating and the owners are very kind. HUGE plus that they're open late! My boyfriend and I love that we can come here after he gets out of work and grab some food either to either dine-in or to-go. Highly recommend!!“
“Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Like any Asian establishment.... its plain simple and quick. Sit down....order...eat....leave. plenty of parking and friendly staff. Definitely recommend it to everyone. Their bread was also fresh and out of this world.“
“First of hopefully many trips- ordered take out... The staff were friendly and prompt with getting my order. The raw living curry rice was Amazing! Got the pepper shrimp just to try something different- i was surprised at how much I liked it!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Not sure what Mr.BuffettSoCal was talking about. seems like he just likes to write creatively. I did not experience any of whatever amusement park he was talking about. I came here yesterday and bought the 12 piece tray. I selected a variety of cakes and a couple jellos. i must say all of it is so so tasty. the store inside is small and humble, family owned. Appeared clean and service was so kind and helpful. she showed me the different sizes and little cakes i could order. all of which was packed nicely. steamed cakes came with coconut sauce and sesame seeds. I will definitely be back here to this little gem.“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! I had the house special shrimp and it was delightful. The breading was perfect, shrimp tasted fresh and the sauce was really good. My grandpa had the orange chicken and he really enjoyed it, I had a piece as well and it was fresh and crisp. My wife had the Beef Pho and it was soooo tasty. Definitely some of the best pho we have had. The owner of the location helped us pick wjat yo get, and was very helpful from start to finish. It is a family owned restaurant so totally get some TLC. The ambience us great, pretty spacious with very cool fish tanks as well. If you are in the area, I suggest you give this spot a try, you won't regret it.“
“This is my go to spot for pho just smelling the aromatic broth when they bring your food awakens the senses ( yeah I just wrote that) but really I've gone to probably 9 other places on bolsa in Westminster also 4 other pho restaurants in surrounding cities nothing compares. They have a couple other menu items but the Pho is why you come here, I like to take my son here they're open late until 1:30 a.m., It's always clean and the staff are nice. My personal recommendation is the Pho combination with no meat ball or tripe substitute extra tendons and add a beef rib or the ox tail pho.Lastly, Price is about $20 with a can of coke“
“Amazing and comforting place! I will always recommend this place when eating with friends, family, significant others, etc. Food is delicious, fresh, and good portion sizes for the prices. The complimentary dessert is delicious and warm as well. The staff is also very polite and welcoming. I also appreciate how delicious the food can be to go. Most places have their to go food not as good quality but I can taste the quality the same when dining in and when I bring it home. Give it a try!“
“Got their vermicelli noodle, and it tasted good. Lots of grilled pork came with it. Their fried chicken was crispy. I went on a weekday night and the restaurant was pretty busy, and it took >30 minutes before the food came out. Price of the food is very reasonable.“
“I came to Disneyland for the first time and was a bit saddened by the lack of Asian food in downtown Disney. I’m so glad I found Asia foodie kitchen with a simple Google search - walked over from fantasy tower (took less than 20 minutes in a nice area). The house special pho was fantastic and the person who served me was very nice! I would definitely come here when I visit Disneyland again :)“
“I had the pho with rare beef slices and lean brisket. The noodles were a bit chewy for my liking and the meat was ok. My favorite part about the pho was the broth. I also had the garlic noodles with meat. The noodles tasted delicious but the meat had a weird after taste. Overall, the place was good. Def would recommend the garlic noodles.“
“Came here on a whim on Saturday night, so glad it was not crowded and we were seated immediately. They have pictures of plates they serve on tv screens so it's very nice to see what you may be ordering. We ordered egg, filet mignon and meatball on a sizzling plate with baguette and a bo luc lac with garlic noodle and it was delicious! Very affordable prices. Fresh made and not too sweet drinks too, I recommend the penny worth and mung bean drink! Nice Vietnamese traditional restaurant vibes.“
“Overall a good experience. Great service and nice ambience! The food was decent but nothing special. Definitely worth trying but would not say it's a MUST go. Not sure if I'd go again but maybe I'll try their other menu items!“
“We were out late and needed a quick dinner. Decided to come for Pho at 10pm and we were not disappointed. The food arrived quickly, portion was good and it was delicious! Really hit the spot. The meat in the pho was tender and wished there was more of it. Service was efficient and warm. Will return if in the area.“
“One of my favorite places to eat of all time. All of the pho on the menu are amazing and they give you big portions. My absolute favorite here is the vegan pho. My #1 comfort food! Atmosphere is so nice, and customer service has always been great and extremely friendly. They have good vegan and vegetarian options, some of which i prefer and im not even vegan! I've dined in and done take out here and the food is just as good every time. Stop by this place if you can! It's amazing.“

“I have been here twice now. The customer service, the food and the vibe in the restaurant are all amazing. They explain everything and help me decide what I want. The food speaks for itself and I have fallen head over heels for the pho. Broth is like no other. Thanks for being amazing! 10/10!“
“Great place for Hu Tieu in Little Saigon. one of the best spot for Hu Tieu. service is good. restaurant is a relative small place with small parking lot. recommend #1 they come with a soup bowl on the side. their veggies are fresh. nice thin slices of brisket with fresh shrimp . i like their pickled garlic. Price is at the average of the area. I also recommend the corn milk. would definitely go again“

“First time visit after a long time hearing about the famous garlic noodles.I ordered the fillet mignon pot stickers - these were very good, then continued to the garlic noodles with grilled shrimp.I waited quite a while for the main course, even though it was late lunchtime and the place was quite empty.The garlic noodles were ok. Perhaps back in the day they were quite an exciting idea.But fusion cuisine has come a way since then and I found the dish to be a bit boring.The grilled shrimp were good.In terms of value for money, I'm afraid I was paying for the reputation and past achievements and not for the experience I actually had.Will probably try other places the next time I'm in the area.“
“I have been going here for years - since I was a kid to be exact! This was when their walls used to be a medium shade of pink lol. My dad was a huge pho enthusiast and this was one of his favorite spots.After my dad passed away when I was 10, we stopped going. We continued on with our lives and I eventually found myself living in LA for 3-4 years and moved back to OC in 2020.I drove by the shopping center soon afterwards and saw that it was still open! So, I went in and tried it again. Their fresh spring rolls are always* tasty. I LOVE their combo fried rice and their fresh coconut juice. I'm one of those customers that once you find your favorite dish, it is hard to try another one because you just can't get enough of it. I am not a big pho fan like my dad was, but whenever we went here it was like a trip to Disneyland for him LOL.They never changed anything about their food or service since I was a kid. To be exact, I must've been 6-8ish when we began going. I'm turning 27 this year. To say that about a restaurant shows how much they value quality.“
“Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!“
“My parents have been going to this restaurant since I remember; and my memory goes back to 2014-2015 I believe even earlier but for a fact 2014-2015Had really nice cheese wong-tongReally nice bah-mi.My parents love it, they had their own restaurant, so they can recognize when good food is being served.Parking: Free parking“
“Straight up the best banh mi you’re gonna get. They’re generous with all the toppings and meat that goes into each banh mi. The pork belly one is amazing but they have steak, chicken, all of it. They do sell other Vietnamese food and desserts as well. I like the sesame balls but haven’t tried much else. The pricing is a steal too — I’d pay a lot more for their banh mi but it’s awesome to see a business not be all about raising prices all the time. You can get a drink and a banh mi for like $13!Drive through ordering is easy but can get crowded. You can order online as well and just park & pick it up if you don’t want to deal with the drive through.“
“This is the place to get all your Vietnamese catering goods! From the variety of egg rolls to nem nuong to banh beo, they have it all! This is where my family gets our party trays for our family gathering and parties. Order 24hrs in advance and your food will be made on time and ready to be picked up at your requested date/time. This mom and pop to go shop has been around for years! Their pricing and quality are great! Highly recommend for your next party!!“
“Went yesterday to check this place out. Ordered Bahn Mi with Dip. The dip was not pleasant tasting. I assumed it was Pho broth. It was not. The second item was Chicken curry and it was superb! Perfect balance of coconut, lemongrass and curry that did not overwhelm. A beautiful marriage! Also ordered papaya salad and spicy mango salad. Papaya lacked flavor of any kind: sour, salty, spicy. Bland. Mango was however tasty, fresh and zesty. It complimented both the bahn mi and the curry. Need to work on the papaya salad though. Fir drinks we ordered a herbal lemonade? and Vietnamese coffee. Very good especially the coffee had none of that cigarette butt burnt aftertaste which I hate! It tasted like the old style Vietnamese drip coffee, fine and smooth. The packaging should be noted and complimented. All the dishware were paper except for the drinks which were plastic. Even the lids were paper! Thank you for being eco-conscious! The ambience is outdoorsy with plants and trees providing shade and some degree of privacy. Felt like a little oasis in a commercial complex called the Campus which has various businesses like fitness center, clothing stores and other eateries. My ONLY issue is with parking. We tried in vain to find space but after going around twice, decided to leave the car with a valet service which charged flat $7. People in their cars were blocking the lanes hoping for someone to leave. One asked if we were leaving and told them "Valet". Not worth wasting time to save $7 when most seemed to afford fancy cars! Yeah, parking. That would be the only deterrent to comeback, to save $7 for parking.“
“First of all the food tastes amazing. They give you a choice of Southern Style or Northern Style Pho. What!! Who does that around here? Pho Flavor and the flavor is bomb! Their noodles are super fresh. I can tell they haven't been sitting in the back. I had my pho Northern Style. The flavor was bold. I loved it! Service was great and a cool ambiance inside to match.“
“This is a great little place. As soon as you walk you are greeted by a staff member, usually they're come from the kitchen because they seem to constantly be running food out to the tables.They typical Pho Soup w chicken is pretty good, and I would highly recommend the extra spare ribs! They are amazing!. Now back to the soup, like most places, the deep flavor comes from the sauces, bean sprouts,mint and of course jalapeños!.The tables are clean, and the utensils are bountiful with a tin on each table with chopsticks and such. This is a great place.“
“I’ve lived in San Francisco for years. So, I know Pho! And, tbc it takes a ton for myself to feel motivated enough to even consider offering up any kind of review. This place is on par with all the high end Asian cuisine restaurants you can find in the OC. Broth tasty. Meat lean and tender. The server was friendly and consistent. And, with a trendy, up beat atmosphere, that invites you in, too. Chloe took care of me like I was fam as a first timer. I do value great service. And, the cooks (wud up, Matt!!) know how to throw it down. Go here if you’re looking for a satiable dish, and you’ll be happy that you came.Vegetarian options: Superb option.“
“To be quite honest, the area and the restaurant itself aren’t the… prettiest. The staff were kind though. You can feel it. I was a bit apprehensive about my father’s choice of restaurant but I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the food.The pho had a flavorful deepness to it that I’ve never tasted before at any other pho joint. Meaning, for me, this is the best pho I’ve tried so far in my life. I just wish they had a large size. I think the egg rolls were handmade too.My only gripe is that “sriracha”. Might as well not serve it?“
“The shaken beef salad was incredibly tasty. The beef was very tender and full of flavor, and the vegetables were all very fresh and had a light coating of a tangy sauce. Very nice atmosphere and the service was prompt too. Highly recommend this “
“One does not simply order Pho from any regular reataurant. During the chill of the winter months, one's pho must not only be hot enough to warm ones stomach, but the flavor must be equally satiating. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have been tired of subpar pho with equally poor service, I am glad to announce yo you all that your search for the best pho you've ever had is over.Not only is the broth steamy hot, but the specific flavoring this family restaurant utilizes is spectacular. You can tell that it is freshly made and that much effort has been expended to curate the best flavored broth I've EVER HAD. As a pho enjoyer, I can't believe I've never been here before.And if that is not enough, the lovely hostess/waitress, who is also part of the family that owns this business is the kindest and warmest soul I've ever had tend me at a Pho restaurant. The service is prompt, warm, and delivered with care. She's also very humorous and will engage with you in a little small talk!God bless this place. Do yourself a favor and warm yourself up with the most spectacular pho you've ever had.“
“A hidden gem that reminds you of Hue, VN. I decided to give this restaurant a try because it was located in the same plaza as my go to Spa.I ordered their banh beo (rice cakes with shredded shrimp) and banh uot (rice rolls with steamed pork and veggies). Their dishes reminded me so much of my childhood trips to Vietnam. It tasted very authentic. The dishes were prepared to perfection. It took less than fifteen minutes to receive my order.The restaurant was small but very busy. I definitely will come back to dine in and try their noodle dishes. There are plenty of catered dishes to order from. The dishes were fairly priced. The orders were very fulfilling. Highly recommend!“
“Called ahead a day before to place a catering tray of 50 egg rolls and 20 spring rolls. Prices as of 12/23/22: Egg rolls $0.70 Spring rolls $2.00 Asked for a 5:30 pm pickup. Order was ready when I walked in. Very nice gentleman working the front. Imagine he was the owner. Egg rolls were a hit at pot luck. This review was mainly to let people know the current prices since most of the other reviews don't mention it or are outdated.“
