Great pho spot at Diamond Jamboree!! The modern ambiance in this small yet well-kept place is inviting. The service is lightning-fast, and there's an older gentleman, perhaps the owner or manager, personally thanking everyone – a lovely touch.

The pho was an absolutely delicious, and what stood out for me was the option of a kids size!!!! – Our daughter LOVED IT. Surprisingly, I didn't find the need to add my usual lime and condiments; the flavors were spot on.

The only drawback is the challenge with parking during peak hours at Diamond Jamboree. Despite that, the overall experience was fantastic. Can't wait to be back and savor more of their delicious offerings! Highly recommend giving it a try.

unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The soup tasted medicinal, which was very off-putting. If I hadn't been in a rush, I would have left after the first bite. The grilled beef was extremely dry and unappetizing. Overall, it was a waste of $20. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Amazing Vietnamese restaurant found in Irvine Spectrum. So many good items from the menu!

Highlights of the menu:
1. Vietnamese Spring rolls - gỏi cuốn
2. Soft yellow egg noodles stir-fried with seafood - Mì xào mềm hải sản
3. Rice with special marinated golden chicken - Cơm gà Rôti
4. Pan fried chicken wings - Cánh gà chiên nước mắm
5. Trio color dessert - chè 3 màu
6. Jelly in iced milk dessert

I cannot pick so I ordered a full table! Quick service, casual ambiance with Vietnamese lantern decorations.

You know its good when the Pho broth beefy and star anise scent fills your nose as it is placed on the table! Of course I kicked it up with REAL Huy Fong Sriracha! The garlic noodles with mushroom did a delightful battle with the Pho to entertain my nose. But when the noodles hit my tongue......drooool!

Was sad that they don't have a Vegetarian Pho. Glad the waiter told us that the Vegetable Pho uses beef broth. Otherwise, the food was excellent and the menu clearly highlighted the vegetarian dishes. We were seated quickly and the food arrived fast as well. The fruit smoothies were great too.

My oldest friend & I went to dinner to catch up. This was a new place for us, we usually go to Garden Grove for Pho.
Always want to start with the area.. if you have anxiety like me. The parking is BUSY. So just mentally prepare for that. We did get good parking and a street was closed so might have been that but just prepare to have patience lol.
We were seated immediately and served immediately. For appetizer we got meat egg rolls - delicious! I got the combination #12 plate. It was delicious. My friend got the shrimp vermicelli bowl. I was impressed with the grilled shrimp! It was delicious.
Will definitely be coming back. I just wish they were open later than 10 (:

Pho Saigon Pearl: A Gem in Every Sense

Pho Saigon Pearl has completely won me over! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles . The service here is nothing short of exceptional—attentive, fast, and genuinely caring.

Now let’s talk about the food: absolutely divine! Their pho is a bowl of perfection—rich, flavorful broth paired with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The portions are generous, and everything tastes so fresh and authentic. The spring rolls were crisp and flavorful, and their iced Vietnamese coffee is the best pick-me-up I’ve had in ages.

Whether you’re new to Vietnamese cuisine or a seasoned pho lover, this place will exceed your expectations.

Pho Saigon Pearl isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. I can’t wait to come back!
