The moment you walk in you’re greeted by the hostess then asked if dining in, and promptly seated. I ordered charbroiled beef & shrimp with noodles (#90) one of my favorite dishes. Bon appétit!

Can’t find this great price pho anywhere anymore!! They are extremely efficient which probably helps the keep cost down. Great pho. Next time I’ll get a large bowl

I can’t give this place a good enough review. The food is amazing and the service was excellent! They even refilled our broth for no extra fee and were right on it when they saw our bowl was getting low.

First time here, and we just sorta stumbled upon this place. From the outside, there is little that calls attention to Pho So. Once inside, it reminds you of an 80’s diner with a couple of flat-screen TVs for entertainment.

The food is good, no question. We enjoyed the meal. The service, however, is just ok. There was no out and out poor behavior, but it was very cold and there was definitely not a welcome feeling. I might go back and just get take out.

Pho So 1? More like Pho So-So. This pho restaurant out in Lake Forest, California was a disappointment. I’d flew into town to visit family, and while there I was craving a bowl of pho. California, I assumed, must have easy good pho. Googled this joint not too far. With a 4.6 star rating, I didn’t think it could lose. How did they lose me? Moment I walked in, buddy asks me if I wanted to sit on an awkward single chair table in the middle of the restaurant. I asked him if I could sit in either one of the empty booths (joint was empty.) He said “Yeah sure.” He explained that he didn’t know why but he thought the restaurant was full. Lol. I knew what I wanted. Classic Pho Duc Biet. That guy walked past me 5 times before a young lady came by and asked me if I was ready. She was sweet. About 2 minutes after order they give me a plate of the garnish (bean sprouts, lime, jalapeños etc.) that’s saran-wrapped. Still cold from the fridge it just came out of. Not long after, the bowl of pho came! So two things: 1. This place is so good, they have constant bowls coming and going. 2. Joint has already prepped, long sitting ingredients thrown in the bowl with hot soup. Unfortunately, it was the latter. The noodles still tasted of heavy starch, didn’t go through cold water, meat was gray, dry, tripe was thin, tendons were small. Absolute #fail. Mfer right…Anyways, as I was eating, buddy who thought the restaurant was full, placed my bill on the table. Cool. I put my card down pretty immediately, ready to just go when I’m done. My card sat there as I finished my bowl, then, as I cleaned myself up, then as I started to put all the napkins in the bowl and wipe down the table a little. Just did buddy’s whole job for him while he walked past me several times. I had to wave him down like I was back in Hong Kong. Would’ve done it sooner, but kid had an American accent. Didn’t want to scare him with old country behavior. Overall, absolute disappointment. Google rates them 4.6 stars out of 5? I give 1.3 stars. Complete trash. The ice tea was pretty good tho.

The pho broth was a little too thin and lacked flavor. The noodle portion was very generous. The bright spot was the special three color bean and jelly drink. It was perfect.

Went there for dinner, tried their veggie spring rolls and fried rice. Spring rolls were delicious and fried rice had great taste. Their service is very fast compared to other places. Portion size is good enough for 1 person for dinner.

People might be nice here but your pho has no taste buddies. No taste at all. I love the distinct taste of pho anywhere i go but unfortunately your pho is so tastless and blend that i have to add bunch of spices at home to taste good. Sad bc you’re so close to me.
