PHỞ THÌN - Westminster, California

The pho is delicious, and the service is excellent. While the to-go order took a bit of time, it was understandable given how busy they were. The restaurant is clean and offers plenty of parking. Definitely worth a try!

Deserves more 5 stars. The only Pho place in the Bolsa area that properly digested in my stomach. Meat quality was good, fresh noodles and broth stayed true to Northern Pho vibes. Must Try!!!

Clean broth, delicious. Good beef quality, very tasty. Fresh noodle also! Expect typical service at any asian restaurant. I'm mostly there for the food so service didn't bother me.

This is a brand new placed that had their grand opening some times in Feb 2023. For a new restaurant, it is always crowded and very popular specially in the Little Saigon area where you can find a restaurant at every corner and a Pho restaurant at every other corner. Maybe it's the "brand name" as well as the well-timing drama related to this brand back in Vietnam exactly at the same time the place opened here. Anyway, the Pho is definitely different from any other Pho restaurant here. I didn't have a chance to try the original Pho in VN so I couldn't compare but this definitely fits my taste and for sure unlike other Pho. Plenty of green onion and the meat prepared and cooked differently. You can't get anything else except Pho and drinks. The place is really clean and well organized. The service was decent. This is not a handicap friendly facility with no ramp for wheelchair.

There was a sign by the register that said to check in on Yelp or Google to get a free drink. I didn’t see that until we walked out. Don’t forget to order a side of bagel twists to dip.

This is a well known restaurant in Hanoi. The menu is very simple with one page of 9 choices of pho , 7 sides and 7 drink options. The servers are very quick when they come to your table so study the menu ahead of time and know what to order when you sit down. This place was busy with a clip board outside to put your name.

What makes it different? For one, it’s simple and served with wide vermicelli noodles. The broth is beefy with tons of green onions as they’re garnish. For two, you add pickled garlic. They do give you a plate of basal and boiled bean sprouts even though that’s southern style. But honestly, combining the two with the pickled garlic, basil and lime was the best of both worlds.

My only complaint would be the small bowl and small portion for the same price that you would get at other pho restaurants. Literally, you finish in like 7 bites.

I got the #3 filet mignon which was nothing special. The cut was super thin sliced which is how it should be. My fiancé got the #4 which was stir-fry. They stir fry the meats and put it in the broth after versus putting rare meat in first and pouring the broth over.

Overall, it was just how I was first introduced to it at home by my northern friend.

The closest taste of Northern Phở style. I love the Tái Băm, the noodle quality, the garlic slices, and the green onions plus the herbs. It tastes ‘home’.

Solid Vietnamese Fare at Pho Thin

Pho Thin in Westminster is a pleasant spot to experience Vietnamese cuisine. The Pho, while not extraordinary, is decent and provides comforting warmth with every spoonful. The broth is adequately flavored, the noodles are well-cooked, and the beef offers a substantial bite.

The menu's variety is impressive, featuring a broad array of Vietnamese classics. Their fresh spring rolls stood out, with crisp vegetables, succulent shrimp, and a tangy dipping sauce that proved to be a delightful contrast.

The staff at Pho Thin deserves a special mention. Their hospitality was commendable, being attentive and quick to accommodate requests and provide recommendations.

In summary, while the Pho at Pho Thin might not be the best in town, the restaurant offers an overall commendable dining experience. It's a welcoming spot for a casual meal, complete with a friendly staff and a diverse menu.

The best pho I have tried in the US so far. Can't compare to the original one in Hanoi. However, the flavors are very close. I wish they could serve more green spring onion.
