Tasty Pho - Brea

Providing this review solely to say DO NOT order online for pickup, at least through Skipli. Order was never confirmed, and when I called to ask the owner very abruptly told me no, they do not do online orders, that I should have called because they don’t have any of the food that I had ordered, and that I needed to cancel the order. There’s no option to, it has to be done through the merchant with that platform. I’m sure the food is lovely, but wanted to ensure others don’t have the same headache I do right now :

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.

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 on how the owner's system is set up. He is highly unappreciative rude to his wife workers. It is inappropriate, the lack of management respect the owner holds to the restaurant, employees customers.

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 total ignorant of vietnamese cuisine so I wasn’t sure what I was going to get. Probably I’m wrong by reading other nice reviews but To me it was a good size broth with nothing much to say about it. Sorry.

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 with smiles and very good customer service. The dishes are delicious!! We ordered house special phở, grilled pork rice, grilled pork chop rice, shaking beef rice and vermicelli noodle. Each one of the dishes is well flavored and the meat is cooked just perfect. The place is not that big, but it feels like family and makes you want to come back because the great customer service and the food is delicious. We recommend you to try their dishes.
