Boyfriend and I are always on the search for the best pho ga! This one was delicious. I also ordered the veggie and tofu pho and it was FULL of veggies, I was delighted! We came in the evening, but I’m excited to return to try the coffees.

Good food, chicken rice portion quite much of chicken. Quick service, you don't need to wait to much for your food and staff very caring. I had 1 pho Nic and 1 chicken rice. Price is reasonable

Hands down! Pho Nic is added to my favorite legit pho places in the OC. It is located in the same plaza as Costco Fountain Valley and I ate here during lunch after my Costco run. Despite dining solo, I was immediately seated at a small table. The waitress handed me the menu and I was in the mood for something light. I ordered a vegan pho in vegan broth. Alongside their vegan broth, the veggie pho can also be ordered with chicken or beef pho broth. Although it was pretty busy on a Saturday, my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The presentation is impressive and the ingredients were perfectly portioned. The vegan broth is very therapeutic and the vegetables were crisp. The tofu was sliced in rectangular shapes and was very firm. How I wish I could finish everything in one sitting today, so I opted to pay at the counter and take the rest of my order to go. Pho Nic is definitely one for the books!

Delicious authentic Vietnamese chicken and beef noodle soups. The soup broth is very tasty with tender quality meats. The prices are reasonable, and service is very good. The restaurant is kept clean. We highly recommend this place.

Nice place to grab a bowl of pho. The quality of the meats, tendon, tripe were very good. Noodle was cooked perfectly. Broth was delicious. Only issue is the portion was rather small so we had to order extra noodles. The spring roll was average, peanut sauce that was served with it was watered down. Overall a nice meal.

Best Pho in Fountain Valley. Honestly the best Vietnamese food in Orange County. The Hainan chicken is a popular dish as well. The staff are extremely attentive to guests and the food is absolutely delicious. The Vietnamese iced coffee is a must try. The egg rolls are super crispy and flavorful. Delicious place is always full of happy customers. One of the newer family owned businesses I've come across and I am glad I did. They have some of the best vegan options I've seen on a menu as well. Check them out

As you can see, we really like Pho. We've been passing this place up on our way to Costco for such a long time now. Glad we stopped by!! Food was great! Wife had the chicken pho...I was a bit surprised the broth smelled and tasted just like sizzling rice soup! Guessing some people might be opposed to that but we thought is was tasty as heck. Kiddos had just the pho noodles with broth and the broth was great as well. I tried the shaken beef dish, loved it. Don't forget the chicken wings....great texture, a little under flavored but they're really good.

Visited Pho Nic a couple of days ago with my sister. It is in a shopping center with Ross, Costco and Subway with plenty of parking by the restaurant. The restaurant offers a good variety of noodle dishes, appetizers, rice dishes and vegan dishes. My sister ordered the Pho Combination with fresh noodle and I ordered the shrimp wonton noodle soup. The staff is very efficient and attentive; the food came really quick. The broth was well seasoned and ingredients in our dishes were very fresh. Will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes and drinks.

If you enjoy good phở and authentic Vietnamese food, this place absolutely delivers. The phở broth is spot on, rich, and so flavorful. We also tried the cơm gà An Nam, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. To top it off, the service was five-star as well. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Sunday 2/15/26 Lunch at Pho Nic with my sister. Ordered Hainan Chicken Rice, Sizzling ribeye pepper rice, and garlic fried chicken wings. The Hainan chicken stands out the most for me; it’s tender and full of flavor. All the dishes were delicious and savory. Great job chef and the management team. The service staffs were friendly, greeted customers and asked for their feedback on the foods. They also worked quickly and hard to service their customers. I recommend trying out this restaurant. I will be going back to try their other dishes. Restaurant Enthusiast David Young

Delicous meals. Went here twice this week, coming from Lakewood to eat here. Have had nasty allergies, but eating here has always made me feel better! Had an accidental mix up today, went to the restroom & they thought I left. So understandably they cleaned up the table. I said no problem, I would like to order another of the same bowl to go. They accomodated the 1st meal at no cost even though I insisted on paying for both. I still tipped even though they didnt want me to pay for the first meal. Great location. 👍

I put in an order online and within 10 minutes it was ready to pickup. Not all pho is the same, and the broth here for me was excellent. Dark, rich, full-flavored and the meat quality was also great unlike some other restaurants. They also dont skimp on meat like some places. My only complaint was there seemed to not be enough noodles to go along with the broth and meat.Overall 9.5/10 pho for me!

I recently visited Phonic, and the food was amazing! The Steak Hot Pan was a standout—served sizzling and full of delicious flavors. It was cooked perfectly and left me wanting more. The pho was also fantastic, with an authentic taste and a rich, aromatic broth that felt like a warm, comforting hug. The only downside was the coffee, which was a bit too sweet for my taste. It would be great if there were options to adjust the sweetness level. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with excellent service and a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend Phonic for the food, and I’ll definitely be back, just tweaking my coffee order next time!

Phonic was alright, food isn’t super authentic but service was nice and prices are decent. Pretty convenient spot for a quick bite before or after a Costco trip since it’s in the same plaza.

Chicken is very good. Juicy and flavourful. Unfortunately the pho broth isn't great or traditional so I recommend getting the Hainan rice. Service was relatively quick but they got a few items incorrect so room for improvement.

This restaurant's first impression is that it is very bright and clean. It provides a welcoming atmosphere for all diners. The staffs were nice and friendly. We ordered fried chicken wings, fried wontons, egg rolls and shaken beef with garlic noodles..., which were all tasty. However, I find it to be very oily and easy to become bored with. When I come back, I'll order pho to see how it tastes; perhaps I ordered the wrong dishes this time.

The restaurant is clean, with pretty decorations and great lighting. The pho is delicious, and the sizzling beef.

Came here based on the advertising. My friend tried the chicken pho and said it was ok. I had the surf and turf sizzling plate which was pretty good. Other than the food the service was not on point except for the polite cashier. Plus in my opinion I don’t like restaurants who start their tip option at 18%.

We ordered a pho soup, spring rolls, rib eye shrimp platter, strawberry lemonade, and ocean lemonade. Overall, the food was regular — not particularly good, not terrible either. Maybe for people in the area it tastes great, but as a Peruvian, coming from the country with the best gastronomy in the world (chosen for 10 consecutive years as the world’s leading culinary destination, and home of the world champion breakfast with pan con chicharrón), the quality felt a bit low to me. The platter was the best dish, tasty and acceptable, though not outstanding. The lemonades were refreshing and flavorful, but they came with way too much ice, which really cut down on the actual drink. Service was mixed: the waitress seemed a bit upset and not so friendly (my perception, maybe I’m wrong), while the male waiter — the chubby Asian guy — was genuinely kind, attentive, and very helpful. Give that man a raise. The place itself is average. Prices are a little high for what they offer, but that’s just my personal opinion. I wouldn’t go back on my own, but I wouldn’t mind giving it a second chance if someone invited me.

Hainanese Chicken (Dark Meat) Was Fresh & Tender. The Chicken Phở Broth Was Clean But Not Flavorful At All!!!

Very disappointing experience due to poor and unfair seating management. We came as a party of 6 and were next on the waitlist. There was a table for 4 available by the right window, and we assumed it was reserved strictly for 4 people. After waiting about 15 minutes, a group of 7 people came in, went straight to the waiter, and asked if they could squeeze into that table for 4. Surprisingly, the waiter agreed and seated them immediately. We approached the waiter to ask why they were seated first when we were next on the list. There was no apology. He simply said that the other group agreed to sit at a small table. That explanation makes no sense—deciding who gets seated and offering options fairly is the restaurant’s responsibility. We were never given the option to take that table, even though we would have agreed to it. After saying he would “see what he could do,” we waited another 5 minutes with no follow-up, no communication, and no effort to resolve the situation. The whole experience felt dismissive and unfair. We left feeling very disappointed. Good food can’t make up for poor service and lack of basic courtesy.
