I went here alot with my mom and other family. We loved it. The S5 used to be our favorite. Then we ordered it to go. When I tell you its the biggest waste of time, money and space and a meal all together. S5 is stir fry noodles with beed, shrimp, chicken and vegetables. There is no sauce. There is no flavor. The noodles are just put into water. Once soft its thrown together with meat and veggies then served and passed off as stir fry. It used to be good but now its the biggest joke of a restaurant Ive ever come across. Dont waste your money or time or meal.

I didnt even post the Phò but it was very bland. Tasted like chicken stock.The spring rolls was like getting the shredded McDonalds lettuce and wrapping it. The peanut sauce tasted like it was a powder or came out of a can.The vermicelli and pork was... O.K. the thin flat pork was like they had marinated it quickly in soy/teriyaki sauce and quick fried it. Quality was just bad.Overall, if you have not really been to Pho houses, maybe its OK for you.I wouldnt go here again.

This spot serves the only phó Ill enjoy in Orange County. The egg rolls are light and crisp. The chicken phó combo is my go-to and their Vietnamese coffee is yum! This place has my appetite satisfied every time I leave. Thank you Saigon Noodle House. (Ill post pictures of my meal next time.)

O.M.Gooood!So it was a holiday weekend and we drove around and couldnt get in anywhere..then we remembered a chinese restaurant we loved that was always empty...got there and it was closed..for good. Really wanted noodles and saw this place out of the corner of my eye. It shares a wall with a sushi place which then made the decision really hard because we had 5 people to feed and everyone was getting restlessAnd hangry! This place was almost empty when we went in so we were skeptical but we were starving. Big menu but food came fast and IT WAS SO GOOD WE COULDNT BELIEVE WE HADNT BEEN THERE BEFORE! Obviously people know about it because a steady stream of people came in to eat. They have a lot to choose from on the menu but we all got Pho. It was Terrific. Will definitely be back. Large size is perfect, fresh and yummy. Plenty of parking g but difficult to get to if you do t enter exactly right off of YL blvd. Sorry, we started eating before I took the pics..we were so hungry!

Egg rolls are prepared on a table while customers are eating. The owner got up to take orders, handled money, sat back down and made more egg rolls. Thats simply disgusting. He is very rude on top of that.

Decent Vietnamese food if you live nearby and desperately need some pho or a plate of beef and rice. But Im not driving very far for it, like at all. Its not a bad place to sit down and eat, but I find myself taking the food home more times than not. Thai ice tea is good. It maybe just me, but I feel like I get a lot of looks, being a really white guy in the middle of a vietnamese restaurant, which isnt unusual, but I grew up on actual Asian cuisines in southeast Asia, so like idk I just dont want to feel weird about being somewhere. So great for take out?

Ordered pho and it was good the last time I ate there. Yesterday something was definitely wrong it had a bad dishwater smell and just was not what I was expecting.

Terrible overpriced food. I would rather eat instant noodles than this gross bowl of Pho that tastes like water with like 3 strings of noodles and 5 slices of beef for $12. Service is not great either. No wonder they’re empty. Don’t waste your money here

This place is terrible. Terrible service. Had to ask 3 times for napkins. Not extra napkins, but just any to use. Also needed a empty bowl so 2 kids could split a large pho cause they were not hungry and had to ask 3 times for this as well. Terrible flavors. Food was bland. Ordered the large bowl of pho with everything and got 90% broth 8% noodles and 2% meats. Only got 2 pieces of steak 1 piece of tendon and 1 piece of 2 tripe. This is their definition of everything? Dont waste your money or time here

Pho was great! Lots of meat. Not too salty. Bahn mi was fresh and delicious. Prices are very good. Service was ok. Waitress spilled a little hot tea on my foot because she was rushing unnecessarily. There were only three other tables occupied. She also was not very friendly - not rude - but not friendly either. Very cold. Not enough paper napkins provided. Asked for more, I got ONE more paper napkin for the two of us at the table. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars.

I live two minutes from this place and I go here at least once a week. I love the clean taste and their portion (not too much) most of all, they dont put MSG in it, I can tell since my body reacts to MSG pretty badly, I get super thirsty and my body swells up. If you want super authentic taste, you should probably go to Westminster or City of Industry. However this place is nice place to go since they are consistent and place is nice and clean!

My family loves this place. Weve been coming here for about a year and the employees/owners always treat is so well. I love their beef pho while my sister is a die hard chicken pho fan. They have the best soup around and its the perfect fix on those rare cool days 😊

No tap water provided. They only sell bottled water. Pho is not good. Other pho place is way better. Im not surprised if they may close down soon. Eat elsewhere!!

Been going here for years--came here when it first opened. Owner already knows what we order when we come in (the roast chicken rice plate is pretty good, although sometimes it depends on whos cooking it). Our go-to Vietnamese place.

Theres this lady who always messes up my order at Saigon Noodle House in Yorba Linda. I was hoping that she would change, so I gave her a chance to be our waitress again. The review is for her very stubborn attitude of not paying attention to my request. As usual. (Although if the other male regular waiter takes my order, everything is fine.)Last time I went there with my friend, I was hoping to get the male waiter to take my order. Unfortunately, it was that female waitress again. Just my luck! Ugh! (Shes the only female Asian waitress so it makes it very easy to spot her for your own sake.)I asked for my usual order except to remove the meat and use tofu instead. She said she cant do that. I didnt see why not. So she convinced me that she could make a vegetarian pho for me without the meat and use a veggie broth. But Im not vegetarian. I just wanted to keep the beef broth and use tofu instead of beef. She insisted her own and when the order came it tasted awful. I had my friend tasted it and she also thought it was tasteless. Im not the kind to complain especially when I have company. So I just shared the food my friend ordered and left my pho on the side. The waitress came back to our table without even refilling our water and asked me if my order was ok since it was her recommendation after all. I said no because that was not what I wanted.She gave me all kinds of excuses. After telling her again what I want she said she can do that. Duh?! Why didnt she do that in the first place? The next order she made for me only came with the right beef broth but no tofu which was fine because I felt at this point I already got full from my friends food.When the bill came, she charged me twice for the soup. Who does that? Especially after I told her I dont want to be charged twice if she was going to change my order. I was fine not touching that soup and paying for it once. Not twice. But she changed it and expected for me to pay for it twice. I dont even think the broth would cost them that much to make me happy with my order. This woman doesnt know good customer service obviously.I dont know if she didnt understand me but every waiter at that restaurant always remembers my order after I explain it to them. Naturally, I asked for the manager. She said she was the manager.Later on, she agreed that I dont pay twice and rudely told me to order what I want next time. First of all thats exactly what I did in the first place but she insisted on doing what she thought I liked . Assumptions are not good in a business like this. Second of all, her attitude was rude. Third, her service was poor. I still gave her a tip just the same after all that because I dont want her to think I just wanted a free meal.If you go to that restaurant despite my warning, at least stay away from her and look for the other waiters. As for me, I will never go back there again. There are so many other places that sell pho with much better service. Why will I go back there again? That explains why this restaurant was so empty. They seriously need to improve their customer service. It cant be cultural because Im Asian and Im capable of being nice to people.

Went to the Goleta location which was great. My boyfriend loved their fried rice. Went to this location, not too nice looking for starters. I got the chicken pho and he got the fried rice.My pho was ok but nothing like the Goleta location. Would not get again. My boyfriends fried rice was atrocious. And they gave us our food and never once checked on us! All the old Viet guys from the back even came out front and all sat and watched TV but never once checked on us. So theres about 7 workers watching soccer sitting directly in front of us.Food no good, service no good.

Its a decent place for Pho. I actually like their soup. Not too fatty nor too plain. However, their serving attitude is somewhat rude. Maybe its cultural thing but I dont like it.

Review №27

One of the worse pho in an area with below average pho. Waiter is rude to boot.

2020-01-13 16:03:27

This is usually our pho spot. We would tell everyone to try this pho place out. But after yesterdays experience sadly after years we will not be returning. Not sure what they did but the pho was extremely greasy and just had a very nasty taste to it. We will be searching for a new pho place. My advise dont go here unless you want to waste your money
