Pho Ba Co - Vietnamese restaurant in Irvine - 4250 Barranca Pkwy, USA

Mixed experiences dining in here. The first time I went, I got the lemongrass chicken and egg rolls. Both were tasty and of good value. My second time here, I decided to try a soup and opted for the pho combo. While the taste was decent, the meat to noodle ratio was way off with only a small portion of meat but more noodles than I could comfortably finish. Also, the fried onions as a garnish gave the pho a strange taste, and I'm not really a fan. Better to stick with the standard raw veggies that come with the pho. Service is efficient, and staff are nice, but the place can get quite loud during dinner rush. It was difficult to carry on a conversation over the noise. I would come back here, preferably on a weekend, but would avoid the soup dishes.

There are many Pho spots in Irvine so it’s hard to pick which one to go to, but I come to this one a lot. Really good food and great portion sizes. It’s definitely more traditional and I love that they have a patio area you can sit outside and bring the dog. I normally come here for lunch and it never takes long to get your food. Definitely worth a try if you’ve got that craving.

Good Vietnamese noodles. However it's very noisy inside the restaurant.

My BBG took me to this new place. It was so delicious. Very flavorful 😋. The lemonade was amazing ❤️. While we were there, another customer was across from us that was so loud the entire time. The staff was not as friendly.

The lemonade was amazing and it was the best part of the meal. The pho was mediocre, way too many noodles not enough vegies inside. The spring rolls were not good The side vegies for the pho were mediocre as well, too corse. Low value for money in my opinion.

No complaints 💕 Nice atmosphere, great service and Pho was good, freshbroth.

Almost crazy fast service and FABULOUS Pho. For those new to Pho- you can’t go wrong with a rice noodle bowl! This restaurant is family friendly and there are pictures of many food options in the menu, which I’m always super thankful for. I highly recommend trying a bubble tea while you’re there- mango with tapioca is my personal fav! The best part of bubble tea is that it can be an appetizer, beverage, or dessert!

First timer. This place deserves a second visit. It was very nice seeing people eating the food of their own culture.
