Pho 101 - Westminster

Great pho! The rare steak option at this place is a lot better than any other place I've tried. Restaurant is clean and inviting. Staff is polite, but not as attentive. Would recommend.Parking: Limited parking. Very small lot.

Meeting up with a friend for lunch where he frequented! Love the AC in a 85+ day. LolI ordered the vermicelli while my friend went for his usual large pho bowl.I had the egg roll and charbroiled pork. The egg roll was a bit over done but the pork was flavorful! Plenty of veggie came with this bowl and I asked for extra lettuce so I can do a lettuce wrap on my own. In a hot summer day, the vermicelli was very refreshing with the sweet and sour sauce.The seating are nicely set up and not feeling cramped like other Vietnamese pho restaurants and plenty of parking!

I got the medium pho with rare, meatball, tripe and tendon. I loved the broth! So much depth and so flavorful! The egg rolls were also very good. The only downside is you’re not able to make reservations. We had 8 people in our party, and even though we called in and showed up off hours from normal meal times at around 2pm, there were still a wait. But the broth made the wait undoubtedly worth it ? ?

One of the offspring from the famous Pho 79, decor is newer and cleaner. They’ve raised the price but their portion are pretty generous. The picture of the Pho is size Medium $13.50) and you pick 4 proteins.I personally like their fatty brisket and tendons.You can smell and taste the strong broth of bone marinated over night and its spices. The broth is a bit darker, not as thick but very fragrant. Overall nice experience. Try them out.3.9/5

This is our first time visiting after numerous suggestions from friends saying this is the best Pho place around! We immediately loved the industrial modern vibe, with vaulted ceilings and metro rack-style divders of the eatery, when we walked in. We ordered Tra Thai (Thai iced tea , Iced Ca Phe Sura (French style coffee with condensed milk , Mon Dac Biet (House Special: crispy chicken with garlic butter sauce on rice , and Pho with brisket, meatballs, flank, and tofu. We were not disappointed; from the friendly server who helped us decide on the correct portion size to order and what proteins to try at the onset to the expedient delivery of our food, this was a very pleasant experience. Some of the things I appreciate are in the details of having the option to use real chopsticks vs only cheap wooden ones.We will definitely be back! Even if you are not a fan of Pho (gasp , there are options for you. Yes, make the U-turn off Edinger and make the effort to get to this hidden gem!*I forgot to take a photo of our entrees when they arrived, but instead, took a very sad photo of my half-eaten plate which does not look appetizing at all; so I chose not to share it.
