10/10/2023 = 4 Star = Costumer service is always good here, but notice meat are not much, minus 1 star for now and will try to visit again soon .1/6/19 = 5 star = same rating, always have a good costumer service, add new picture .12/14/19 = 5 star = The best pho in the area, price a bit high but not bad, took a picture on the menu, costumer service is good too .

This is a restaurant I would frequent when I lived in the area. Veggie Pho is my personal favorite. I would usually order a BBQ chicken, or pork sandwich to go with it and a spring roll platter.Lemonade is freshly squeezed and super refreshing. I havent been in years but I took advantage that I was in the area a couple days ago. Food is just as delicious as I remember which shows their consistency! 😋Highly recommend this restaurant if you have the hankering for some hot 🔥 Pho.

Pretty good place! Nothing amazing or out of the ordinary. Actually the egg rolls were pretty small. 😩 Wah. The pho itself tasted good 🍜 . And good portion of beef and noodles. Service was good. Had a big group.

I have been going to this spot for the last 7 years. I am usually on a low carb diet. So I typically order Pho soup, NO NOODLES exta steak and extra onion!! No carbs doesnt mean no flavor!! I compare every Pho spot I go to to this place!! Its a small shop but there food is always hot and ready!! I call ahead and when I get there my table is ready with my drink and condiments as I walk in. I always feel so welcome. They get my food out fast. The broth is a light brown and is always packed with flavor. I will always come back here. Best PHO EVER!! The BBQ Pork on the side is amazing. I have not found another sport with this flavor. The egg rolls are always hot and crunchy.

The pho was ok. Its not the worst, but not the best. Very salty, and the veggies in my pho ga tasted old.The beef pho was ok as wellHowever the homemade dumplings were light and tasty.

Such a lovely neighborhood pho shop. The price per bowl of pho is very very very reasonably good. The young girl and young guy working there are super nice. We came here for dinner twice, once take-out, once dine-in. Both experiences were awesome. Lets support our neighborhood business !

I go there all the time with co-workers and we love it. We tend to go at least once a week and have a great experience every time. I frequently order the P1 ( Pho with tripe and tendon. I absolutely love their broth.

Ordered Steak Pho via Door dash which is one of my favorite soups and a regular order of mine at other Pho restaurants. This was my first time trying this restaurant as it is close to my place of employment. Huge disappointment as the steak was rancid and smelled horrible. I called the restaurant who said they have nothing to do with Door dash and offered to give me 50% off my next meal.

This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in North OC. I am fortunate to live in Brea and eat here almost weekly. Nothing cures a hangover better than rare steak pho add meatball!My mom had been hospitalized the last 2 weeks. My dad has never had food from Pho Tay Bac before and tonight was a first for him. He had the M1: Pan Fried noodle with veggies and steak. His smile is massive and he agrees the food is delicious! For his brief happiness, I will always love Pho Tay Bac.

If you happen to be in Brea, make an effort to eat here. It is absolutely wonderful food, and the service is fantastic. Very kind, down to earth gentlemen who run this restaurant. I honestly cant speak more highly of Pho Tay Bac.

Good in the hood. This place is right in the neighborhood. Family run, no frills, basic eaterie atmosphere, food service and people are consistently good. Great when I want to get my pho on close to home.

Review №27

2017-11-27 02:43:02

This place is soooo bomb, my favorite pho place and always the go-to! good service always and prices are great. We always get a large well done brisket pho and a side of extra noodles and broth. Then just switch around some noodles and broth to even it out and its like you have a large and a small, perfect for 2 people & only 10bux every time. Waiters are nice and attentive and theres RARELY a wait time. Even after your order food it usually arrives piping hot right away. Great every time. Try with lime, chili +oil and siracha!! My stomach always feels so great after and im sure the stuff is probably great for digestion. Go here !!

Ive been going here since i was a kid. They have high quality ingredients, great service, and affordable prices. Food comes quickly, hot, and fresh. They remember who you are and it feels like youre eating at home. Hands down the best phô resturant in all of orange county.

This unnoticeable family run place in a small strip mall in brea is our go to place for pho and other vietnamese dishes. Though the owners are Korean, the food is pure authentic vietnamese. Their noodles are perfectly chewy and savory, while their broth is just perfect in taste and seasoning. Their meats are just perfectly done and of good quality. Their combo appetizer plate is perfect as it comes with 2 egg rolls, 2 shrimp spring rolls and 2 BBQ pork spring rolls. I like their house special pho with extra tendon. My kids like their BBQ as well as the fried rice dishes.

Cheap, delicious, large portions and fast services in a convenient spot. What more could one ask for?

Review №33

2019-07-01 00:34:56

Uh...NO! Not the right flavor AT ALL! Will not be coming back. Non authentic flavors likely due to ownership. Please improve your pho, bun thit nuong, and goi cuon....the fish sauce was wrong, the peanut sauce was wrong, and the chili was not the right one. Sorry for the negative review, but I must be honest!
