Pho HP Vietnamese Kitchen

This place was VERY good actually. All the sauces were FILLED with garlic (in a good way), but my mouth was literally BURNING for a few hours after we left... the cilantro sauce was fantastic!!The garlic noodles and prawns didn't disappoint and I really liked the tofu spring rolls!! My friend had the Vermicelli bowl which was also presented beautifully. The restaurant is super clean and the staff is attentive and pleasant. The food came out promptly. Adding this place to my list!

I like to go to Little Saigon in the Bolsa/Westminster area when craving various types of Vietnamese dishes. However, it's nice to have a few Vietnamese Fusion restaurants in the nearby Huntington Beach area and this is one of them. I used to go to the Vietnamese restaurant "Pho Saigon" that used to be in this building before "Pho HP Vietnamese Kitchen" took over about 2 years ago. I was delighted to find that I knew the co-owner Amy, who is super friendly and warm. She definitely updated the interior to a more modern and brighter feel.The menu has various options for entrees: Pho (rice noodke soup), Vermicelli Salads, and House Garlic Noodles. Good assortment of appetizers with both meat and vegetarian options: including crispy (fried) egg rolls, fresh (non-fried) spring/summer rolls, garlic chicken wings, truffle fries, and a Golden Pear Salad.My son and I recently came and had the Garlic Noodles with Filet Mignon. I had the Beef Pho with Thin Rare Steak and Beef Ball. Both were delicious and tasty.We've taken our non-Vietnamese friends here often and they all love it. Favorites have been the Garlic Noodles with Filet Mignon or with Shrimp. Please do note that the leave the tail and skin on the shrimp -- I love it because it holds even more flavor (but I know some friends who had difficulty de-shelling or eating the shrimp like this). The oxtail soup is great. My friend raved about the Golden Pear Salad, which tasted fresh, crisp and sweet. It had crispy pears, figs, burrata cheese, arugula, honey roasted nuts, and balsamic vinaigrette. Great blend of flavors!Located across from the 5 Points Plaza in the shopping area that has Boudin SF and Zankou Chicken, this is a great choice for a nice Vietnamese Fusion restaurant with bright clean ambience.

I was really looking forward to try their spicy pho, which received tons of rave reviews from the other Yelpers. Alas, my heat tolerance apparently is not up to par compared to a level 2 spiciness. It was too spicy for me to taste the broth, and I had to keep drinking water to put out the fire on my tongue. If I return, I will try either the shrimp or the short rib pho next time.

First time here. Pho and wings are amazing! My new spot. Best flavor of broth I have ever had and I'm a pho lover. Amy served me and was also amazing.

After having lunch at Pho101 off Edinger & Beach Bl. a couple of weeks ago, I heard about Pho HP from a couple of close friends as well as my parents, so I thought I'd check it out.Pho HP is located across the street from 5-Points Plaza on Ellis/Main St. & Beach, and the interior of the place is so much cleaner than Pho101. I ordered the Beef Pho with the Brisket, Fatty Flank and the Ribeye, and all three of the meats tasted soft and melt-in-your-mouth and not too chewy at the same time. Of course, you get your usual bean sprouts and mint leaves, but the jalapeños were cut finer, which I didn't have much of a problem with.The egg rolls tasted about the same like the ones at Pho 101, since they were made with the similar ingredients, but I thought the ones at Pho 101 had a bit more of a crunch than Pho HP's. But the big difference between the two restaurants that I wanted to tip my hat to Pho HP was NO MSG taste in the Pho. The meats were perfectly cooked and the broth was delicious.If I had to choose between Pho HP and Pho 101 to return to, I'll take Pho HP - it's a bit further of a drive from where I live, but a few miles away is well worth it.

I can never get enough of Pho HP. I feel the need to leave a review every time i dine in. The shrimp Pho, my favorite, is nothing short of deeply satisfying. The service always exceeds my expectations and the ambiance is hip and lively. We miss Amy though. Keep up the great work. We will keep coming back. Much Love!

Been here 2x. Authentic, have some unique things that may not be available at all places.Great attentive service.Flavors are solid and are solid. My new favorite thing is Bun Cha Ha Noi - it's marinated meat with noodles on the side. I like very savory, meaty things, so this hits the spot with the Viet use of greens and noodles. Friends thought the food was solid, the hotpot pho and other things are unique if that appeals to you, worth a try for sure.Modern decor but casual dining.

My mom begged us to come here after seeing their extensive advertising campaign on Vietnamese media. It was a pretty quiet place, but in a great area near Trader Joes and Sweetgreen. The Pho here is EXPENSIVE, and that's rich to say even in this Pho-flation period. We got the Pho Dac Biet each. It was great, and filling but the price versus quantity just wasn't enough to justify the trip. I wouldn't say this is my favorite-favorite Pho I've had here in OC. That's a really high bar to jump, but I can't really see myself coming back. The service was excellent, and even top-notch I'll say. We got our lemonades, and the owner even cane out to rave about them! She explained all of the menu items and even what's upcoming.

Place was very clean and staff was friendly. Prices are decent. We ordered Bun Cha and shaken beef dishes. I also love my soursop tea. Next time I want to try spicy pho.

Literally some of the best service I have ever received. Amy was a ball Of energy and she was so kind! The Beef Pho was spectacular, the seafood rolls bomb, and the Hot Ginger Honey Tea was excellent. The vibe inside was awesome because the staff were so kind. Will for sure come back! Thanks everyone.
