Pho Asian Grill

Great veggie pho! They asked if I wanted beef or veggie broth and I gladly chose veggie broth! It was flavorful and I loved how much bok choy and fried tofu was in the pho! I also got some tofu spring rolls that were delicious! The staff was nice and friendly, too. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because I do think it's a little pricier than other pho places I frequent. But I would come back!

For over 10 years, my three friends have enjoyed having lunch or dining at Pho Asian Grill. In the past, I have visited over four times or more and always enjoyed my meal. Between 12:00pm and 1pm on Thursday December 26, 2024, our perceptions have changed towards this venue. Today, we brought a new person to try the food at this venue. We were seated and given menus, but it took a while before a server took our orders. One friend bought an egg or vermicelli noodle plate with steamed mixed vegetables and chicken which had heavy gravy or sauce or brothlike substance. The heavy gravy or sauce or brothlike substance was served in a plate, and it splatted all over her blouse as she took bites of the meal with her fork. That meal was not plated correctly! She asked one of the servers to take the meal back and plate it in a bowl. That was by far a better choice. The server accomodated her request. After it was served correctly in a bowl, my friend still did not like her meal which lacked the unique seasonings of Vietnamese food, and the chicken texture was not good. The tabletop salt and pepper shakers could not save the bland tastes of the meals. My other two friends, long term customers, ordered a pho, an egg noodle or vermicelli dish with meat, egg roll, and shrimp spring rolls that came with a side of peanut sauce. They also exclaimed that the dishes lacked the unique seasonings that comes with Vietnamese cuisine. They did not take their ample leftovers home. My other friend took her shrimp meal home. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls, but the peanut sauce lacked the presence of peanuts, and it was not flavorful. My other friend, who also ordered the shrimp spring rolls, commented how the peanut sauce lacked flavor. At the time of our arrival, the restaurant did not seem that busy but there were leftover noodles on the floor where we were seated and the adjacent table. I asked one of the servers to please sweep it up for us. I know that time gets the best of us, but the floors should be swept after the dining patrons leave. My server correctly put lemon in my Jasmine tea order, but he erroneously put lemon in my friend's tea order. My tea was served in a glass cup, and her tea order was was served in a porcelain mug. She noticed the lemon at the bottom of the cup. Between the 5 of us, we spent slightly over $100.00 including tips for tasteless meals!!!! I am glad that I just ordered an appetizer. They kept playing one or two of the same Christmas songs. The lady's bathroom was decent, and I enjoyed the Vietnamese cooking shows and ESPN show that were streaming on the restaurant's wall mounted flat screen televisions. The only friendly and beaming looking server was the older man who wore glasses and who also served as a cashier.

First time here! Arrived close to closing time and everything was lovely and not at all rushed. The service was attentive and patient. Ambiance is very casual and family friendly. I highly recommend this establishment. Clean bathrooms, and amazing menu options. Their broth is absolutely top and I will be returning. The owner came around and gave his thanks which was much appreciated.

Amazing pho, rice & noodle dishes. Highly recommend the combo rice & charbroiled pork. My friend got a delicious boba drink as well

On a dark, stormy, and rainy night, outside of Grandmas' homemade chicken soup, what could be better than a hot bowl of pho'? Not much, in my humble opinion. In the midst of the deluge, I found myself driving past Pho' Asian Grill. I have been here multiple times before, but it has been a while since my last visit. So, when I saw the sign, it triggered something in me that said that this is what I need RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE. A quick turn into the parking lot, and there I am.Luckily there was a spot not too far from the door, so I wasn't too awfully drowned by the time I got inside. I was greeted right away and shown a seat by very friendly waitstaff. There were only 5 other occupied tables when I came in, but it did get busier by the time I left. Others must have had the same idea. After looking at the menu, I decided on an order of the Goi Cuon (pork and shrimp spring rolls), a large bowl of the rare steak and meatball pho', and a cup of hot tea. The waiter was kind enough to inform me that even though it didn't show on the menu, that he could charge me as a dinner special that would save me a few dollars as well. I would have never known if he hadn't said that to me so extra points for being honest and kind.Everything came out and it was all very tasty. The Goi Cuon had a good size to them and had a lot of filling. The large bowl of pho' was indeed large, I couldn't even finish it. More than enough to bring the rest home and have it for lunch again. The tea was bagged but very tasty and in a large cup. The waiter came by several times to check in, refill water and see if I needed anything else. Not to rush me, but just to be sure I was taken care of. Although they did not have brisket as an option for the pho', and a couple of others that I sometimes see in other pho' places, they had all the basics covered and they executed quite well. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality of the dishes. I ended up getting 2 meals out of it and it was around $21. The restaurant was clean and tidy, they had several servers available, so service was really good. I really appreciated the fact that they kept tabs to make sure that everything was ok. There are a lot of places that never check back after the food drop off until they stop by with the check. Here, the service really helped elevate the experience overall. I reflected that in my overall rating. Please see my photos that I have included.Well worth coming by and having a meal. Even in our normally wonderful weather. Hope this review helps someone decide to give them a try.

Good fresh food. Generous portions. Very tasty. Sometimes the food takes a while but worth the wait.

Probably one of my favorite Pho spots in OC. Great flavored broth and crispy egg rolls. Go to for sure

Our family really enjoys popping into Pho Asian Grill on rainy and gloomy days. Their Pho Noodle Soup is amazing and include quality meat and ingredients. My girl also really enjoys their cream cheese wontons. I'm thankful for the Sapporo here in bottles and the Thai Iced Tea is great too!! The service is always with a smile and we love the fact that they play music in the dining room, something we don't see at some Vietnamese pho restaurants we also frequent.

My wife called this place to order the pho with rare steak, which costs $15.95 on the menu. She usually replaces the noodles with vegetables at no extra cost. The last couple of times, however, she was charged $19.50 and paid under protest because she had already driven to the restaurant to pick up her food. The moral of the story: Be careful at this place if you order any substitutions in your food: You may or may not see the price of your food jacked up by more than 20% when you get the bill.

Worst place to get scammed at I come eat here all the time because the !!!LARGE TOGO ORDER IS A KIDS SIZE AT THE RESTAURANT!!! Tendon was super hard
