I used to get pho here for take out every single time I would come into Goleta. Towards the end, I started realizing that their pho isn’t all that great; maybe it’s the noodle’s quality. I love how they have actual Nemo’s in their fish tank in their main dining room next to the register. I love Nemo’s. I probably wouldn’t come here again for the pho. I’ll try sometime else if theirs next time though. If you’re looking for good pho, there’s another place behind Costco.

The food was extremely salty! I got Pho Tai ($9.50) and the broth came out very dark and a lot of msg as it made me thirsty. We also got rice with bbq pork and egg loaf ($10.50). It’s regular steam rice not broken rice. The meat was not grilled, it was pan fried and really tough. It was salty and so was the egg loaf and fish sauce.I had to squeeze a lot of lemon into my broth. I have to admit that this place was busy.I was also disgusted that they reuse take out paper menus. The bathroom was also dirty and no more hand soup. I hope the employees have another sink that they use because the soap bottle was completely out and someone prior had poured water in to dilute it. Didn’t work, it’s just all water.

Food is very inconsistent. This is our must go to place to eat every time we come back from LA. Their food used to be very good. Now for the past two times we were there, pho was really salty. No service yet they charged us 18% for 4+2. I definitely dont mind gratuity added on the bill but when there is no service, it shouldnt be added.

Love this place. Great food and service. The vermicelli with pork is bomb.

Rare beef pho was delicious, the meat was tender and flavorful. Same goes for the chicken pho and egg rolls. The vermicelli with pork was tangy and light. The house fried rice was savory and hearty. The staff was friendly and efficient. The interior was simple, humble and large. Many tables and booths to accommodate groups of all sizes.

I stopped by this restaurant on my way back to Orange County.The taste of the pho didnt taste quite the same as the flavor of PHO, so its more like an Americanized- Vietnamese restaurant.However, it wasnt at all bad, and its still a good place to try Vietnamese cuisine.

Ive had much better pho elsewhere. Lukewarm broth and not very tasty, even the bean sprouts were soggy and the lime wedges brown..

A waiter poured an entire bowl of sticky sauce on my pants and my phone, and ruined my phone case. Did not say sorry, and the attitude was so bad, like they dont care anything about their reputation. Said something like the pants can be washed and you can buy a new phone case. Very passive aggressive. Worst service ever experienced.

Busy, bustling restaurant. Sticky tables and lack of uncleanliness makes eating here a little questionable or maybe they are short on a busboy. However, the food is typically flavorful and hits all the taste buds in the right spots. Greasy, dark egg rolls might mean its time to change the oil in the fryer vat.

The pho is pretty good. Tasty broth, good amount of noodles, and meat. The 33a (fried rice) is awesome! Best around. I put siriacha all over it. We usually start of with an appetizer of fried shrimp. Yumm. The staff are amazing and friendly, which justs adds to the enjoyment of the food. Love this place! Oh, and the pho is pho King great!
