Delicious food, dined and ordered to go before, Vegan pho&vegetarian options are wonderful. There's spring rolls tofu, BYO with crispy tofu and their fruit teas/milkteas makes their food better.

So, I've been here a several times before, and I've always really liked it. I've tried some of the pho and a couple of the banh mi sandwiches. Anyway, I remember the first time I tried a banh mi and I almost passed out by how good it was! I was dining in the restaurant, and it was just so amazingly delicious. Am I a banh mi expert? By all means, no. But do I know what tastes good? Yes, I do. I sure do. Recently, I ordered a banh mi to-go. Didn't wait too long for it. I went back to my car and started driving home. As I was driving, I looked inside the bag, and I saw the beautiful sandwich. I was very hungry and it was tantalizing...calling out to me. I decided that I'd have just 1 bite to hold me over until I get home 10 minutes away. So, being the expert of eating-while-driving that I am, I picked up the banh mi that was inside the plastic wrap. I pushed the edge of banh mi outside of the wrap, and took a bite. Omg, delicious! And then, I took another bite. At every red light, I took more bites! Funnily, I accidently ate some of the napkin that I was holding too. Oops! I spit that out though. Anyway, I had about 1/3 of it left when I finally parked. I finished it in the car before going inside. I saw that I dropped some of the fillings on my shirt. I ate those too. The point of this true story is, the banh mi was very good, and I had a wonderful experience eating it. Thank you to the person who made it. I felt so satisfied and content afterwards.Customer service is also always great and everyone is so friendly.

Food: Egg Rolls - 4/5Crispy Chicken Wings (Garlic Truffle Parmesan) - 4/5 Pho Tam Cali Special - 4/5 Crispy Tofu - 4/5 Ube Milk - 5/5Thai Tea - 4/5 Taro Milk Tea - 3/5 Wintermelon Green Milk Tea - 4/5Service - 5/5Ambiance - 4/5 My family and I recently came to try out this Pho place in OC. We shared a bunch of things and the most notable/memorable items were the egg rolls, the Pho, and the Ube Milk. Personally, I thought that the nuoc mam was lacking in flavor and spiciness but the eggrolls were still great. The pho was also pretty good as the rib was so tender that the meat was falling off the bone. The Ube Milk had to be my favorite item because it really captured the essence of it unlike just being another "vanilla taro" drink. I will say, the wings lacked in a lot of flavor as you can only taste the parmesan. Overall the service was really great and the restaurant was kept very clean.

Another great spot on the LF gift card list! They have daily specials that we stumbled upon which was a nice surprise. The pho is always great which we opt for the leaner meat options. Lately we've been enjoying the vermicelli salad rice bowls with either bbq pork or lemon grass chicken. They leave us feeling pretty good after and not gross or unhealthy. Service is always friendly and parking usually isn't a problem as long as it's not peak rush times.

Solid and keeping it traditional savory flavoring. Great service with good ambiance.In an effort to help small businesses in the Lake Forest area, we thought we were trying a new pho place. We order the rare steak, chicken, and a special pho. All were very tasty. The rare steak pho and the special pho, use the same broth. Very savory and not oily. The portions of meat were decent for a regular bowl. They even served it with Thai basil, sprouts, and limes. The chicken fog came with fresh chicken instead of frozen with ginger fish sauce. Pretty unique for the south Orange County area.Highly recommend if you're looking for good Vietnamese food in the Lake Forest area.

I'm always looking for new Vietnamese food options on this side of town so I don't have to always drive all the way to Little Saigon to get my fix, and this is one of the new options in town. It's a pretty standard pho menu, perhaps a bit on the more expensive side, with some unique options such as the bone-in combination as well as the spicy pho. Perhaps I was doing it to myself by getting the extra spicy, but while tolerable in terms of spice level, it honestly just tasted like peppery soup.Otherwise, everything just feels like your fairly standard pho restaurant with no real standouts, which is sometimes fine and all you need. You're not going to a pho restaurant for good service or ambiance by any means, and this restaurant is solidly right down the middle when it comes to those areas. It's a tad bit more expensive than the other options around, so I do feel less inclined, but I do want to give them a fair shake since they do seem pretty promising.There are definitely some rather appealing options on the menu, and some of the fusion items are the type of stuff you normally don't find in this area as well.TIP: Don't get the extra spicy, and you'll probably have a solid bowl overall.
