My oldest friend & I went to dinner to catch up. This was a new place for us, we usually go to Garden Grove for Pho.Always want to start with the area.. if you have anxiety like me. The parking is BUSY. So just mentally prepare for that. We did get good parking and a street was closed so might have been that but just prepare to have patience lol.We were seated immediately and served immediately. For appetizer we got meat egg rolls - delicious! I got the combination #12 plate. It was delicious. My friend got the shrimp vermicelli bowl. I was impressed with the grilled shrimp! It was delicious.Will definitely be coming back. I just wish they were open later than 10 (:

We were craving Vietnamese food for dinner and tried Phi Saigon Pearl. We had their coconut curry and combination dry noodles (hu tieu mi). The food was good but we had better.Service was so-so. Not fast, not slow but the experience (food/service/ambience) was forgettable. We even got their iced Vietnamese coffee to-go but nothing special.

Pho Saigon Pearl never disappoints. The restaurant is comfortable and quiet, so you can enjoy your meal without a lot of loud chatter, or what seems to be a trend, loud dance music. The food is consistently great, and arrives quickly to the table. Attentive servers, and good value for the money. You wont leave there hungry, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

The waiter who took my order had an attitude if he had more important things to do than to take my order. Then once I got to school my veggies for my Pho were rotten. Definitely disappointed and won’t go back again.

Nice service. Clean and comfy. Food presentation was very nice. Unfortunately the bun cha gio was not good with The fish sauce. Way too sweet :(...The peanut sauce was like a strange ketchup. The wraps were pretty good. But not a typical vietnamese style in my opinion. We might try again another day.

Good restaurant, decent service and fine food! The fresh coconut juice was a plus, but the food is not super! I think you should try it but it wasn’t the best that I have had. The service was good and fast, although we arrived 30 minutes before closing. I would say their Pho with beef on the side was the best one we ordered.

This place disrespected the Saigon the food was terrible and pricey the steam rice was so undercooked the pho was terrible I’ve eaten instant pho from Walmart that tasted 100 times better. Service is really bad the staff is really disrespectful. If you care about taste don’t go here. Look for your nearest Bahn mi Che cali. This place is not a Pearl it’s more like a trash can near a sewer. I recommend Nguyens kitchen it’s worth a drive trust me get bulgogi fry’s with a fried egg on top…. I didn’t even tip.that’s how bad my experience was. And I usually tip even if the service is bad

Been coming to this and the other Irvine location since they both opened. It is pretty authentic flavorful Vietnamese food. Usually a bit of a wait during dinner hours. A bit pricier than if you were to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant in little Saigon.

Small convenient Vietnamese restaurant in Irvine. We went there upon a chance as the other restaurant had a really long wait. Surprisingly nice to-the-point menu, quick service, friendly staff, fresh food and large portions. Parking is a challenge in that area but worth the trouble.Edit- Went there again for a takeout. Still the same great food and service.
