Been here several times and every time the food is delicious and the service is great. Family owned business. Will continue to come and try more of their tasty dishes. We had the beef and chicken pho along with garlic fries, delicious egg rolls and beef chow fun. All excellent!

Nothing special. My wife got chicken chow fun and I got the orange chicken. Both served very hot. The orange chicken tasted better as I ate more. The chicken had a strange texture. The hunt will continue for a good Chinese restaurant in Costa Mesa.

Love this place, every time. It’s been over. Year, but I walked in and as-usual, Bruce is there with a great attitude and even better food! Good, clean brisket phö and veggie spring rolls . I always come here to recover when anything hits, so the fresh mint, sprouts, bok Choy and jalapeños make this one a winner... family owned and operated, I haven’t found a better spot for Phö!

This is a hidden gem, and I am finally sharing it with everyone. The orange chicken has a light batter on it and crisped to perfection. The orange sauce has specs of orange, and has the perfect amount of sweet v. tangy, it will make your mouth water. The chicken lo mein (we get it with the garlic sauce) is amazing!! Not pictured but worth the splurge, the house fried rice. It has so much meat, it is totally worth it. For the kids and adults, you have to try the garlic fries. The number one item though is their Orange chicken. If you are in this area, you will not be disappointed.

Though I dont eat out much since my husband and I are vegan/vegetarian, The Wok In is one of the few places with more than 1 or 2 menu items that meet our needs. Their tofu dishes are incredible. They clearly use high quality tofu and dont overcook it, as so many restaurants do. We ordered the Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Tofu. The sauces on both were incredible and the tofu was silky tender! It looked like there was enough food to last for days, but I kept digging into the Mapo until there was only a bit left! I highly recommend this small family-owned restaurant if you want a seriously tasty meal that fits within a budget.

We went around 5:30 and they were closing early so we ordered our veggie pho to-go. The soup was pretty great and I liked that they gave us a lot of broccoli !!One down-side was we actually went to the park to eat the pho and realized it was quite difficult to just pour the soup into the full bowel so that was inconvenient. Im sure this problem is irrelevant if you eat it at home :). Definitely coming back at an earlier time to get a dine-in experience as well !

By far the best Pho Ive ever had and Ive a lot from all over the country. The broth is full of flavor and the meat was tender and fresh. Would definitely come back.

Support this small family owned business! Very friendly and really good food! Ive passed by so many times, but never stopped in. When I saw a post on next door I decided to give it a try. Im glad I did! The owner, Bruce was so nice and it seemed like he knew everyone who came in! He remembered their regular orders the minute he saw them. That by itself is enough reason to return, but the food is another. I think they recently had to increase prices for obvious reasons, but they are still super reasonable. Ive been looking for a place like this. I like the fact that they have pho as well as popcorn chicken ordered the wonton soup and combination fried rice. The soup was really packed with wontons and the rice had way more meat than you get at most places. I was told that the egg rolls are off the chain! Our order got gobbled up so quickly that I didnt get photos so I guess Ill have to go back again!

Ok I found this place doing laundry next door. I tried going a few times but I always end up doing laundry on Sunday and theyre closed. Finally I went on a Monday and ooooohhh wee! It was tasty. I tried the pho first, the broth is very flavorful. Some places make a lighter broth, but theres is very flavorful. I liked it a lot. Portion was big too. Next I tried the lo mein. The guy at the counter suggested I get it with the steak and garlic sauce.... Boy lemme tell you that one is dangerous. It was so good it was hard to stop eating it you know what I mean? I kept trying to save the rest for dinner but kept coming back for one more bite 😁 they are currently closed for remodeling until I think mid Aug or September. But try this place if youre in town, they are not shy about seasonings and I love it! Any time Im in town Ill be back.

BEST SERVICE & PHO IN TOWN ! Really can’t understand how other people can give bad reviews to this restaurant, family owned establishment. The owner is very attentive and always looking out for our comfort. This is the best !
