Pho So 1

best pho place in town. the owner is such a sweetheart, I one time left my leftovers there and came back 30 minutes ( a small container) to see if it was there. The owner said they had not seen it, and offered to just get me another pho. They are such amazing people, with great food and hearts! Thank you Pho So 1!

The service is friendly, FAST and the food is good (but not exceptional). Their beef broth is Really Good 👌🏽 I had it with seafood pho (I know it sounds like a weird combo but I really enjoyed it) I also tried the chicken pho and it was also good, but I didn't find it special. The beef definitely had a better kick and more flavor to it. The spring rolls were fresh but they could use more veggies/crunch. Overall good experience, good food and happy tummy 😋

Everything was delicious! I ordered egg rolls, combo pho (pho dac biet), and Vietnamese coffee. No complaints about anything, it was all amazing! I definitely plan on coming back. As for covid accommodations, they went above and beyond, plastic wrapping the pho spoon and additions (lime, bean sprouts, etc.). It was a very hospitable experience!

Pho So 1 The best bowl of pho in Irvine!! The prices are reasonable and the portions are much better than the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. I don't live too close from this restaurant but it's definitely my go-to for pho. Pho So 1 is located in the West Park Plaza amidst many other shopping and dining areas so you'll find lots of parking. I believe you can have food delivered to your door via one of the many food apps but I prefer to call mine in. They do have a fairly large dining area and it's got a decent crowd whenever I'm in there, so you know that it's good. I love that they give a huge portion of bean sprouts with mint leaves and limes. I hate when restaurants get stingy with their condiments because I personally love adding all of these to my bowl of pho. I also like that they package the noodles, meat, and broth separately. I've kept a few of the soup containers since they're very reusable! Probably one of my favorite things besides the food itself is the fact that it is not a cash only restaurant and they do not charge you for a credit card minimum. Overall, this is definitely one place you're gonna wanna try out especially if you're looking for an amazing bowl of pho!
