Pho Bros - Garden Grove

This pho place was one of the few pho places that was opened late. I would recommend going to another place as there are better pho places in the area. Menu appeared limited, but they allow you to order outside their menu in terms of what meat you want.Food:Pho had fatty oil in the broth by default. They should ask you before putting it in your soup. Some people don't want it in their soup. There is definitely MSG in the soup as well. You will be thirsty, so ask for water. Veggie condiments came out fresh. No complaints there.Service:The server had forgotten my order. We were the only people at the restaurant. If you can't remember an order, I would recommend writing it down. When the person delivered the order, he didn't remember who ordered what. There were only 4 of us. The owner appeared to be present and attempted to communicate with us about pho.Ambience:It has a modern vibe. I did like it. It is very spacious and simple.Parking:Restaurant shares the parking lot with other businesses. It can get busy during the daytime.

Bowl size for the regular pho is smaller than other places and amount of beef was downright skimpy unfortunately. Server depended on her memory to take our order for 4 people instead of writing it down so two bowls were not correct when brought out. First time here last year was much better so jury is still out if we will give it a 3rd try.

Really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't it for me. Pros: Plenty of seating, clean, spacious interior Staff is very courteous and friendly Open LATE for those late night cravings! (until 1:00 A.M. Cons: Broth was flavorful, but soooo oily! Never had so much oil in my bowl from any pho place I've been to More expensive than other pho places in the area Parking can be difficult because there are a lot of businesses in the same plaza (Oc Lau customers particularly take up a lot of the parking, lol I think this place has potential, especially since the broth itself is pretty good, but they definitely need to cut down on the oil, haha.

It's ok. The perks is it's open late when other pho places are closed. But I feel I had to warn for someone with severe sensitive allergies.. prob. gluten or wheat or something because I was burping all night which hasn't ever happened in other pho places if they were cooking it clean from real beef bones for hours-days. So there's something in the pho that caused this.. perhaps they used powdered form? which I've tried& dumped becuz it did cause burping. The pho did tasted too sweet to be real pho. The service is great and I could put up with the allergy rx if have a late craving but definitely not if yours is severe or diabetic.

Ordered chicken pho and this is what we got! Only noodle and broth ???? Horrible
