I always enjoy pho noodles here. Great dish. The price is much okay with.

Food is okay but overpriced. The tofu pho was 15 dollars for only a few pieces of tofu and broccoli. I understand restaurants have to make money but this is overpriced. Most other places charge $10 and plate has much more tofu and veggies. Will not be returning.

My wife and I ate here yesterday for the first time. Will definitely go back. Food was excellent, am not familiar with a lot of Vietnamese food but can’t wait to learn. Waiter’s advise for a fish dish and bbq beef was a great introduction.

I have had a ton of Pho and took my Vietnamese friend here...it was not very good, portion was small, and not a clean or sanitary restaurant. Tables were dirty, service was not friendly...I was really bummed out the experience wasn't even average. But, like my Vietnamese friend said...most customers here are Chinese, not Vietnamese, so they don't know good Pho and because there are so few choices in the area they can get away with being subpar.

Phone number does not work, lack of any coherent organization for dine in vs take out vs delivery, no pickup option available for Uber Eats? Merely OK pho for Irvine. Never again.

Pho combo and pho brisket rare steak were very good. Would come back again

Great service staff. They were friendly and attentive. Patio dining and inside dining available. Large, spacey dining area. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. No flavor, grilled pork was tasteless. Prices were on the high side too. I guess prices are in keeping with the city if Irvine.

Really really good pho. I ordered the combination pho and it was a really good portion of meat and noodles for the price. I was short $6 and the nice lady who took my order let me pay for it later with another card over the phone. They have great soup and even better customer service! Come check it out!

It was at 430pm on Tuesday 09/28/2021. Ordered #20 large and #20 medium for my girlfriend and 4 spring rolls (I'm a weightlifter and had a lot of room in my stomach)!The rolls came out in an instant which were delicious and good. The noodles came out a few minutes after. It was only until at the end of our grand feast that we had realized the #20 medium was the wrong order - the meat was well done, NOT rare; there was NO tendon; and there was NO tripe, as mentioned in the menu.Did they leave out the portions of tripe and tendon from Medium sized bowls? I don't know, but after mentioning this to the guy working there (5'7" Vietnamese chubby guy in his 20s or 30s with thick English accent) stood there awkwardly and murmured "sorry" and proceeded his business as if nothing happened.Food was average, service was decent. There are far better places for Vietnamese pho than this place in the area. Try Westminster.As for me, I wouldn't be coming back to this place NOT due to getting our orders wrong but because, like others have said, it's overpriced for the quality. Pho Ba Co knows that Irvine residents have cash, and they'll do anything to take advantage of that due to fewer competition by using the cheapest ingredients available. Big disrespect to Irvine. I recommend driving a bit north up to Westminster to get the real taste of pho.Thank you!
