Pho 79 Restaurant: Authentic Vietnamese Noodle Experience in Garden Grove

Prices may have increase but food portions and quality still on point! Cash only spot still Parking that can fill up quick but food served so quick parking is still ok If waitlist - name to add on is hanging on the door Plenty of seats, spacious, and cleanliness Food is fresh, pipping hot, seasoned well, and servers are helpful in assisting. "Hack" order a bowl of broth and bowl of noodles and side oxtail comes out to $8 :) 7am opening- check it out !

Heard of this pho spot for years and finally got a chance to try it out. I got the pho combo and my partner got the vermicelli. The pho was delicious and the broth was so rich and healing. My partner is not a big fan of soup so i recommended a vermicelli dish, he loved it! Will definitely be back

I've heard amazing things about this place so I knew I had to take the opportunity to drop in for lunch when I was around the area. Even on a random weekday there were a lot of people, but I got lucky and didn't have to wait. I ordered 33, 79 super bowl. This is most comparable to the "house special" and has a little bit of everything. The bowl was gigantic but fortunately I showed up with an appetite. The broth is so rich, and even though I was congested I was still able to taste how flavorful the broth was which I think says a lot! The food came out really fast. It's cash only!

Solid pho spot in garden grove. Been coming here for years. The wait is much smoother than phoholic. I rotate between here and the pho from mai phung. I've ordered to go and eat in the restaurant as well. One small pet peeve is when I'm eating in the restaurant, the soup is warm But I wish it would be piping hot. The ratio of meat to noodles is fair and good for the price.

There was a wait out the door when I arrived at 12 pm on a Saturday so I put my name down for 2 and we were inside within 15 minutes which wasn't bad. I always order the same thing at a pho place: Phở Dặc Biệt (aka combo pho). It comes with tendon, tripe, rare and well-done beef. It's nice because it works as a control so that I can compare it to other pho places. I thought the broth was good but the noodles were a bit overcooked so it didn't have any bite to it. I also thought the same for the tendon which is usually springier. Everyone spoke highly of this place so coming in with that expectation might've been bad because I was hoping to have the best pho of my life but the most I can say that it was good. I would come back but it's not my favorite pho ever.

Great spot for authentic pho. Really fair when it comes to pricing and the sizes of each bowl S M L. I was able to order half rare beef with meat balls within an additional charge. They do sell other traditional meat and vermicelli dishes as well. Their egg rolls are super crispy and fresh. Service was great and felt like staff was always attentive. Even though it gets pretty packed, the turn around is fairly quick. I was able to seat 8 people within 15 minutes on a Saturday. The parking lot is very limited, but there is additional parking next door, or on the street. I ended up ordering pho to go as well. Definitely will come back to try other dishes.

Pho is the best in town but place could use an update. Servers are kinda friendly lol

I honestly came here for the first time with low-ish expectations since I kept hearing from others that this place is overhyped, but I really enjoyed the pho here! I ordered a small pho tai. The broth was super flavorful and I really liked that it was spice-forward. The meat was tender and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The portion size was enough to fill me up as well. Service was prompt, and keep in mind that hot tea is complementary here! Parking was a little hard to find. The small lot they had was full so we had to park on the street. But overall, 10/10 would come here again!
