Reviews for Pho V1 in Brea, CA
Recent employee: ???? When the owners were hiring I went in to apply & I got the job day of. While working, I learned that the... owner does not pay his waitress their tips that they have earned so I decided to move on. This restaurant is very unfortunate onhow the owner's system is set up. He is highly unappreciative & rude to his wife & workers. It is inappropriate, the lack ofmanagement & respect the owner holds to the restaurant, employees & customers. Read more
After reading reviews about the best Vietnamese food in this area, we were still undecisive where we should eat. This place has... 4.6 stars, and 84 reviews so far, but we thought we should give it a try still because it?s only 0.1 mile away from our hotel. All we did was crossing the street. Our first impression was the owners and staff are super friendly. They welcomed us withsmiles and very good customer service. The dishes are delicious!! We ordered house special ph?, grilled pork rice, grilledpork chop rice, shaking beef rice and vermicelli noodle. Each one of the dishes is well flavored and the meat is cooked justperfect. The place is not that big, but it feels like family and makes you want to come back because the great customer serviceand the food is delicious. We recommend you to try their dishes. Read more
Pho was solid. The server and chef were very nice and it seemed like it was a family owned business. Will come back again.
Had the Veggie rolls and steak with vegetables. Food was good. Service was okay. The chef came out and checked on me and finally... brought out some salad dressing so that bumped it up to four stars. Read more
Ordered a House Special Pho. (Combination of rare steak, brisket, tendon and tripe) Meat served looked and tasted the same to... me. Just a half inch piece of tendon inside and didn?t see any tripe either. I have to be honest saying that I?m a totalignorant of vietnamese cuisine so I wasn?t sure what I was going to get. Probably I?m wrong by reading other nice reviews but Tome it was a good size broth with nothing much to say about it. Sorry. Read more
Quick friendly service, food arrived promptly, tasty broth and tender juicy meat. Decent amount of seating and one table... outside. This is a mom and pop sort of shop. The cleanliness leaves a little to be desired. And while I was eating one of theemployees went for a smoke at the outside table(doors open). If it wasn't for the smoke smell during my meal it would've been a5 star. May try take out next time. Read more
Pho broth is not too stanky. I really dread stanky pho broth - the ones that smell like heavy herbs you get from the canned pho... broth. Restaurant seemed pretty clean - no wipe down with stale smelly wet rags. It was clean when I visited, I just hope itstays clean over time. Great service. Although located in a pretty good size strip mall, finding parking can bedifficult. Overall, I would recommend it Read more
Ordered takeout meatball pho with extra brisket, while picking up the employee yelled at me from another table away from the... register and pointed at my food. They also forgot to add my extra brisket. Meat was ok but broth was bland. Read more
