Phở Vĩnh Ký

This place is a dump but I love it. I came for the $8 pho, $10 for large. Still, $10.86 out the door, this is an amazing deal tbh.

Authentic old school Vietnamese pho!

Located in a small plaza, this mom and pop pho joint is a favorite go to spot for cheap pho (50% off all beef pho). There is limited parking in front of the plaza, but you can park in the plaza next door (where the Stater Bros is) and walk over. We came in at about 8:30 to 9 pm and there was still a constant trickle of people coming in. The tables were relatively clean, as well as the bathrooms. Note, the men's bathroom lock doesn't work!! So knock or you may be in for an embarrassing situation. The servers are nice and fast, the food came out quickly and the waiter was constantly refilling our waters and checking on us. I got the pho tai large, and they did not skimp even though the price for the large was only $6.95. There was so much noodles and meat. Last important note, CASH ONLY. All in all, good pho joint for starving students. Would definitely return when my pho craving kicks in again.

Hands down, this is the best Pho place in all of California! I regularly drive out here from the Inland Empire just to eat here. Their pho soup is the best I've had!

This place is awesome! 5 stars all the way around. New favorite Pho spot!

Love this place always wonderful soup and nice people . Very small but it’s the best for the money . I recommend this to all and parking is not a big deal pRk in the grocery store lot behind , no biggie 30 or 40 more steps it's worth it

Food is awesome here this place never fails. Their broth is packed full of beef flavors.

This is the epitome of a no-frills minimalist style phở restaurant. I got the number 7 which is the special with all the meats except oxtail which I ordered on the side. The broth was rich in flavorful, there was plenty of garnishes, plenty of meat and noodles, we also got our food with practically no wait time. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. It's also fairly famous amongst the elder generations of the Vietnamese community. 10/10

$8 for a decent bowl ( i ordered brisket and rare steak) with decent amount of meat, good flavorful broth, gave lots of bean sprouts and sides, they even have large size pho noodles which i prefer more than the small ones. The place opens super late till 3am for suitable for late owls like me. Interior is small but who cares, still lot of tables to sit no wait! Service was standard, price is awesome, opens late like what else can u ask for right? 10/10 value. Will be back :)

Great tasting pho at superb value! The place itself is kind of rundown but for pho at only $9 for the LARGE is a cheap price, especially when the pho itself is delicious. You might have a bit of trouble since the workers here aren't too well versed in English.

If I can give this place 8 star I will. 2:00am pho is by itself worth 5 stars. The generous portion of meat and vermicelli worth’s another star. The flawless taste of the broth worth’s two more stars. This place is just like Vietnam Saigon. The staff is ultra friendly just like Vietnam too. I’ll be coming back quite a lot.

Great portions, flavor and price! Can't recommend enough. If you want local & delicious, this is your place!

Can’t beat $12 large pho! It was chock full of noodles and meat! The basil and bean sprouts were also plentiful. Cash only. The waitress helping us out was super nice and friendly.

They only serve soup and only take cash, but despite there being a language barrier the staff still try their best to take your order. Good service if you put the effort in.

Food is delicious and abundant. The price is unbeatable. But the store is so busy and overwhelmed with orders that the server forgot to provide me with noodles for 5 orders to take out. I didn’t find out until I got home. So we had no choice but to eat pho with white rice instead of noodles. I called the store to complain and was told to come back picking up the missing item. But I live 35 minutes away then gave up. 😅 My advice for those who order pho-to-go is to check carefully all items included next time.

Place: not noticeable, also unlike before now its often have homelesses around, But it’s not just this specific restaurant it seems like there’s more homeless now here in Westminster. I’ve been going to this restaurant since I moved here back 2011. It’s not like this that there’s so much homeless but we’re talking about the restaurant. I’ve been coming here and it’s kne of many comfort food I love lol since 2011. I have three babies when I moved in Westminster when I need to drop my kids to babysitter. I’ve been coming to this restaurant to pick a combo fried rice, have generous chicken,beef, shrimp, and vegies on it. You can order of a 1choice of protein doesn’t have to be combo. This special house fried rice and help me and my husband, when we don’t have time to cook, but we want to make sure that my kids have a healthy good food when specially on babysitter days. And they have other choices too this is just my sample that K order here. And also to treat my kids Pho soup on the random days we will go there and order and drink hot soup. The restaurant looks very old. The restroom is not inviting. Well you know if they renovate im pretty sure theyre price will get too high. But we been going here through the years, we never ever have an upset stomach. Sometimes when I need to have a just me time, I leave the kids at home and Enjoy my Pho with extra tendon. And yes they serve generously. For first timer order small first so youll enjoy it and not get tire of it. Obviously, if you ordered huge amount, specially pho You were thinking you don’t wanna waste the food and keep trying to finish it and then you will feel tired and might not get satisfied about your experience . So try ordering Small bowl first and enjoy it ..And plus my mom love there eggroll. My son love the spring toll. My husband ofter change his order the beef plate with rice, chicken with egg and rice. I dont actually know the name in the menu because it is in Vietnamese.

First timer at this place had the large oxtail pho $14 and egg rolls $10 order of 5. Me and mum both enjoyed munching on our oxtail meat /bones in a nearly empty restaurant, broth was tasty they carry a chili oil 🔥 not many other pho places have, they provide you with extra basil/herbs/ bean sprouts/lemons if needed. Service is good, cash only! Restrooms not so clean. Forgot to take pictures of food. Will update next time.

I love this place and visit every time I'm in town. Usually way after midnight. The food is great and inexpensive. Where I'm from in Denver a meal like this generally costs over 2x the price.

One of my Favorite PHO places, I live nearby and they are the perfect price and taste balance for weekly PHO 😋 💴 . Always nice and take orders via phone quickly.

Really good Pho highly recommend small $8 large $10. You can't beat that.

5 stars because my panza is happy, and also it took like 10 seconds to get my pho 😂 🫃 open late & cash only

Monday 9/2/24 Lunch at Phở Vĩnh Ký in Westminster with my mother and sister. Enjoying pho with the best price! Soup base was authentic. The service staff were friendly and attentive. Their English is limited however I get to use my broken Vietnamese. David Young Restaurant Enthusiast

This no frills Vietnamese eatery opens from 8AM til 3AM everyday. I usually visit this place if I'm in the area after 1:30AM looking to prevent a hangover. The pho beef broth is good but I'm not a fan of the clumpy noodles so I recommend requesting fresh noodles. Every now and then their broth falls on the sweeter side which upsets me. Their crsipy stir fried noodles (pho ap chao) is a tasty choice. The pho ga's chicken broth is delicious with fresh wide rice noodles and white meat. The pho ca (fish) is also a good pho option when you're not feeling beef or chicken. Food comes out fast and hot! Overall it's a convenient stop for late night food runs and hangover cures.

Open late, considered decent hot bowl of pho at 3am is a 4 star on it's own. Friendly staff, well lit place.

One of the best in orange county when it comes to pho!!! They could do with some remodeling though! Especially their bathroom, I felt like I was back in southeast asia when I was using their bathroom haha!

The only reason I'm giving a 4 is because it's not the cleanest or up to date looking place. But the pho is amazing & the beer is cold. Service is good too

Was craving for some comfort soup so stopped by for some pho. Still have the $7.99/small or $9.99/big bowl deal. Got the big bowl and it was delish, nothing fancy nor the great one but it definitely good enough to feel the love. Easy parking and friendly & nice service with quick order and quick turnaround since I was 3 customer there in the early morning. Good broth and perfect amount of meats - I finished it within 10mins. The place is old, not much of decor and does need an upgrade but clean enough to seat and enjoy a bowl of hot noodle. Overall it did it job and under the budget of what normally pay for so win-win for me. Plus I had been there so much and will come back again and again for sure.

Good deal on pho! Got the combination pho, one small and one large for $8 and $10. I regret getting the large as it was a lot of food. They give you a decent amount of meat, which was great. Overall, the pho was good although they used MSG. You'll be thirty and their water is actually pretty good. Customer service...they'll just take your order, serve you the food, and you just walk yourself to the front to pay in cash only. And that's it. Not much talking involved. The parking lot isn't that big in front, but you can park on the adjacent side if needed.

Pho Vinh Ky has 4 other branches in Little Saigon, nice, clean, quiet, all have pho sale, regular $8, big bowl $10. Sale has been going on for years. They do a lot of take outs, same prices. This pho is good. The broth is tasty, not sugary sweet, with bone depth, clean, clear. I ordered a large steaming hot bowl with extra rendered fat and scallion to crank up the creamy taste. Service was quick and pleasant. This big pho bowl has the thin noodle like hu tiu. I prefer the Northern pho with thicker noodles with springy texture. It has lots of meats, rare round eye, flank, chuck, fatty brisket, tripe, tendon. You can specify any cuts you want. The brisket is chewy. I prefer more tender. I am a big eater but could only finish half, packed the rest to go. I also ordered 2 big bowls with rare eye round to go so I can eat them at home and not having to drive down. This pho quality and value is much better than average, where other shops charge $15 or more for the same bowl. A few other pho places also have $8-10 pho. Open 8 Am to 3 AM. This is a honest business that offers tasty, healthy food with very good value, recommended.

This place not accepted cash. It's not convenient for customers when they come here. What if the customers don't know that they are only accepting cash so how do we pay them? I asked the owner here. And she told me that from the BOSS. I think she is the boss.😁😁😁 Good luck

Their oxtail pho used to be good but the last time I visited the place the oxtails were not fully cooked served, still has red in the meat.

Your average Viet Resturant. Not modern or very clean but ppl are nice and food reasonable price. Pho is ok and some dishes a bit small sometimes serving wilted veggies. Fast quick meal at a reason price my opinion.

Phó only. No other dish. Go to their other restaurant for more dish and better broth.

Lots of MSG but they are very generous on the meat. They gave us plenty of meat for a large bowl @$9.99. Small bowl is $2 cheaper @ $7.99.

Scammed by 50% off deal Pho Bo was 50% off. Asked for Pho Bo, but they asked me what kind of "bo", which means beef. Said I wanted Pho Bo Vien, Beef Meatball. Despite having "Bo" in its name, it's not 50% off. Sad part is, only ~3 pho dishes on the menu actually contain the phrase "Pho Bo" in it. Pho is very lite and delicous. Prices are average, ~8 for large and ~7 for small

Most Vietnamese restaurants closed on Tuesday, and we found this one open and open to 3am. The reviews are very good, so we gave it a tried. Cash only. If you are looking for cheap pho, a lot of meats, and don't mind the quality, then this place is right for you. My friend ordered fried rice and came with a long hair. The waitress reordered the fried rice for us and left the original one out on the table to avoid further concerns. My Pho soup wasn't hot enough to cook the meats. Overall, it is a 3 Star rating, but I gave a 2 stars because of the hair.

Called to clarify open hours; said they are open until 3 am. When I got there at 2:25 am, said they are already closed and did not even make my phone order. I drive 25 minutes to get to their place. Unfriendly and inconsistent. Wasted my time.

They were closed at 2:15, it says 3am on google maps

These pictures are from 2 days ago. My little sister’s boyfriends mom always goes here because their service is better, then she gets this??? How is this an accident?? How does that much hair get into your food without someone noticing before they give it to you? It looks like hair straight from a shower drain, it almost seems like it’s on purpose!! Don’t go here unless you want a mouth full a hair with every bite.

Very small portion, we even ordered a large. Cash only.
