Pho Crystal Noodle House

Perfect for a cold day! The rich broth, flavorful wontons, and smoky BBQ pork make for a warm, satisfying lunch. Highly recommend!

Excellent ! Staff is very nice and food is amazing! Very fast service we come once a week almost

We were in need of healthy & fresh spring rolls (not fried) and pho but wanted to find a spot close to home.The restaurant is located in an older strip center next to a liquor store. Once we parked, I made sure to quickly get inside because I wasn't too sure of the kind of crowd the area draws. Restaurant is small but quaint and ran by a family. There is a large tv to entertain you. It was quiet in the restaurant at first but eventually they turned on music. Service was friendly and food was quickly delivered.Shrimp spring rolls were decent with lots of lettuce and some noodles. Appreciate them cutting each roll in half for us. I was in the need for vegetables so I had the vegetable pho with regular beef broth which was decent but nothing to rave about. Broth was clean but not as flavorful as I would like.The boyfriend ordered the chicken pho and had the same opinion - just ok. The pho did the job to satisfy us. We were able to pay with credit card. This is not a spot I would recommend but I won't knock it completely down until I try the beef pho.

We had ordered their pork spring rolls which came out quick and are a perfect quick bite for while you wait for your pho. They had a good ratio of noodles, greens and meat, and their peanut sauce paired nicely. Their beef pho was good, they have a good broth and add in a lot of meat, the main downside is that their meat was very tough and hard to chew making the experience less than ideal. Their chicken pho was good and a safe option as there was nothing outstanding about it. Quick service and attentive.

Yelpers ... the broth here is very tasty . You can smell the aromatics and it's rich ( very good flavor ). I got the #7 with steak and tendon. Tendon was good and clean a little over cooked but still very good . The service was also quick and pleasant . They had some cool music playing. I really liked this unassuming little place .

so I've eaten at so called the "best pho restaurants" in OC. All the way from Diamond Bar, Brea, Yorba Linda, Tustin, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Lake Forest, Garden Grove, Westminister. At least 20 different pho restaurants.But this is my #1 authentic pho restaurant. And I say that with joy and gratitude towards the owner, chef and employees.90% of the pho restaurants only want to make money off off customers. But here they take pho seriously!Pho Crystal has been around over 10 years and they definitely have special know how.Everytime I've eaten here pho quality and flavor have been consistent.I just wish they would add more noodle portion same as extra noodle.Meat portion is good Fresh sliced onion, and veggies.Home made chili oil.Soup is so good I think about the soup everyweek and I look forward to eat here.I live 30-40 minutes away so my wish is that I live closer to this incredible pho restaurant so I can come here more often!Lately I've tried about 5 other pho restaurants closer to my home but still Pho Crystal is my #1 favorite!Support this restaurant and make sure to leave ur 5 star review!

Plenty of free parking in the plaza. The building is an older establishment. The bathroom has a strong odor of cleaning solution and not the cleanest area. The food is ok, not spectacular but not bad. The shrimp pho broth was not the best, the pho noodles were too soft, the shrimps were good and a good number of shrimps were in the pho. The beef pho broth was very oily, the beef was good. They offer pho, banh mi, bun, rice dishes etc. They have a big screen tv. Service was ok. Prices are very reasonable. Glad I tried this spot.

Great food !! Real authentic Vietnamese cuisine This is hidden gem spot in Santa Ana

Great service and good food! I come here whenever I am in the area. The Thai tea and all drinks are super good. The vibe is great as well. All family welcomed.
