Pho Akaushi in Westminster

After eating pho for decades you tend to accept the slowly rising prices and same mediocre quality. But finding Pho Akaushi was a wakeup call. The restaurant looks like any other small pho spot from the outside, but the menu includes wagyu. The pho broth is clean and not oily, flavorful and tasty. But the highlight is the meat. The brisket and rib cubes melted in your mouth exactly how wagyu should. It was the most amazing pho meat I have ever had. Pricing was extremely fair for the quality ingredients. Service was good but please be patient as quality does take a bit longer. Highly recommend and is now our goto pho restaurant.

Amazing pho! They give you the option to have fresh noodles or store bought noodles. I did the fresh and they were spectacular. The quality of the meat was really good, not dry. The staff was super friendly and put a smile on me and my girlfriends face. Will be coming back!!!!

If you have never tried the pho here before, you are missing out!!! One of the best, and most flavorful pho I have ever eaten (and I frequently go on pho hunts). The broth clear and full of natural favours and you can tell that its cooked with care and passion. The meat is out of the world, the restaurant uses torched char wagu beef (smokey perfection) in the pho. The owner is a super nice human with kind heart, having spoken to him I can tell that this is truely his calling, he loves what he does and enjoys having conversations with his customers. He also hasa booth setup at the Asian night market as well for sample, check it out!

👉14376 Brookhurst StreetThis is the updated address! Not far from the other one but don’t go to the wrong place!And the photos post it seems to be for another restaurant. This places is a small mom and pop authentic Vietnamese restaurant and is not modern as in the photosFriendly man on the phone named Thomas, pretty good English and good vibes.Food is pretty good and fresh too but it is not the same prices as the online menu. Ex, my shaking beef was $18 with tax.

I didnt go into the actual restaurant itself but i went to the night market in westminister. Im not sure Who i spoke to there but im assuming he was the owner because he seemed extreme passionate about his food(in a good way) and was very nice. They were handing out small pho samples in like 6oz cups. The simple had wagyu meat(if you dont know what that is, its beef that is very expensive because of the quality) i went with my husband and my parents and my 2 children and nephews(total of 9 people) and he did not hesitate to give us ALL a simple including the kids, which for me is HUGE! because some People are Stingy with simples for kids. Im mexican and i have been eating pho since b4 i was born because my mom loves &cooks asian cuisine! PHO is absolutely, we used to eat pho at pho-cali on 1st and harbor at least twice a week, but there quality has declined drástically i had been looking for a replacment pho place and this right here is it !!! There broth was sooo good! You could taste the flavor and as an AVID pho eater, i know those bones were simmered for hours. You could really feel the love and the passion in this broth! I Will definetly be coming to eat at the restaurant and have an updated review...

The pho here is really good! It’s a very local spot so the servers might have a few communication issues, but in the end we got our food and it was delicious.

Overall: 4.5/5 (dine in)Pho Akaushi has a storefront but a sign pointing to Oc 7 Seafood restaurant. Apparently the Oc 7 Seafood restaurant serves their food and Pho Akaushis food so they have 2 menus. However, they didnt let us use the Yelp $5 off pho coupon since its not the owners location. I guess because they share location, thats why they crossed off the Other Dishes and Beverage sections.Large Pho Akaushi Combo With Banh Tuoi ($22): This comes with rare steak, tender rib cubes, well-done brisket, & meatball. The meats were good & a bit higher quality but not as tender as I would have liked it to be. The bowl doesnt seem like a large and more like of a medium size. The rice noodles were indeed fresh and good. The broth was clear and amazing - I drank it all!

Front Receptionist greeted us kindly and seated us. Booth seating was comfortable and roomy.I ordered the Pho Akaushi Combo which was delicious. Fries needed a little salt but were really good overall.The Thai Tea was really tasty.The brand of Sriracha Sauce was good.Strongly Recommend this place if youre in for some comedy from owner.Tip: Pay for your food with a gold wrapper 😅

I ordered the pho combo and I loved the fresh noodles - they didnt get soft during the meal. The toppings were incredible and paired with the green sauce were even better. The best part was the broth I couldnt believe Id finished it all!

MUST TRY IN ORANGE COUNTY!As a Vietnamese girl born but not raised there, pho has always been a staple in my household. I personally am so picky and usually would never order it.Pho Akaushi was a warm and welcoming vendor at “Về Quê Nhà” Coming Home event on May 6th, 2023. They were kind enough to give away FREE WAYGU SAMPLES. When I say it changed my life, it really did change my life.Presentation: 9/10Customer Service: 10/10Food: 10/10A week later I came to their restaurant and the same delicious food was served. Nothing changes & on occasion, the owner & chef Tom would walk around and ask if everyone enjoys the food. Very catering, very welcoming.If you do please let him know Ann sent you! Haaa!
