Ha Long Bay Pho & Grill - Vietnamese restaurant in Tustin - 13152 Newport Ave ste a, USA

The personnel is very inattentive at this spot. First of all, there was no one at the front desk, and we waited for a pretty long time before being seated, even though the restaurant had plenty of tables available. Also the waiters barely come to the tables and never check on you after getting the order. The food was pretty good, although pad Thai was a little more sour than what we are used to. The seafood pho was okay. The Thai tea had a weird flavor, as if burned or something. Overall though, everything was fine.

Edit: Jan 22, 2024 It's been few months since my original post, and I have been coming to this restaurant on a regular basis. On more than few occasions, I noticed their pho becomes super greasy - like motor oil sludge - when the restaurant is busy. Hopefully management will fix this, but be aware! ‐‐-------------------------------------- Their Pho is wonderful! Nice clean and tidy pho restaurant. Broth is clean and not smelly. Their Vietnamese style coffee is freshly made on order, which is a big plus! It's one of the better Vietnamese restaurants for sure. Service is attentive. I highly recommend if you love Pho.

On a scale of one to 10 this place is at three. I had shrimp Pho - I had to clean and devain my shrimp - the place is very dusty and dirty - there are dead flies on the windowsill - it gets a three because the people are really nice here. Reasonably priced

Delicious food and friendly staff. Super attentive to their guest, and kindly recommended things on the menu. Definitely coming here again! My partner and I had the chicken pho, back rib pho, egg rolls, and spring rolls and literally finished everything! So yummy!!

Customer service is not their strength. Their water taste bad and their Thai tea was not the best either. I do enjoy their broth but today it wasn’t as delicious as I remember it. I got veggies for my brisket pho but they came as a side. I would pass on the $5.50 Thai tea.

Quiet place when we came in for dinner! Service was really nice and the server knew a lot about the actual Há long bay! The pho and soups they were in were excellent! The rice plate that i had was good as well, however i did wish a little more meat on the short ribs. The salad that it came with was also great as well and the rice is just rice. Overall this is a solid place to try various rice dishes vietnamese style! Try the pho when possible! The place has really nice cozy vibe with dark colors and decorations that fit the theme!

Good variety of Vietnamese food. Good service as well.

The new pho place just opened recently. We came here twice (both dinner time) and liked it very much. The interior is newly remodeled and beautiful. The pho broth is sweet and cinnamon-y than other pho places but I like it. We have tried several other dishes and liked them too. The BBQ meat is a bit on the salty side for my taste, the chicken is white meat so it's on the dry side. The seasoning is good though. Overall, I enjoy coming here. It's so close to Cowan height so we don't have to drive to other pho places. If you like pho, give it a try.
