You know when you are sick the only thing you want to do is cuddle up under a blanket and have some hot soup. Well I've got the soup for you. I remember back five or so years ago I was working at Disneyland and one of the cast members I worked with was Vietnamese. He asked me if I had ever had Pho before and of course I said no. Now word around the camp fire is that there are many interesting dishes in the Vietnamese culture and one could be leery about trying but once you try this soup you will CRAVE it. And especially if you are under the weather it hits the spot. There are many Vietnamese restaurants you can go to in orange county, many of them which are in the Westminster area and I can honestly say that the food is pretty much the same across the board no matter where you go. You just need to find the place where you enjoy dining at. There are only a few I have been to in Irvine and this place used to be known as Pho Bac Ky, but now it is called Pho Tasia. Nestled across the street from the Strawberry Farms Golf Course in a shopping center near a grocery store, gas station and I hop, this place is always crowded. This is by far my favorite one. Pho Bac on Barranca comes in 2nd. Its all about the broth and the seasoning they put in, filled with flavor. My favorite thing to get is Pho with the rare steak. I cannot remember the exact name but it's the # 10 and basically the meat is put in last rare and the heat of the broth cooks everything.. The meat is paper thin that they add and it is great - tender and melts in your mouth after a few chews.
Get the egg rolls and make sure you wrap those guys up in the lettuce and soak them in the sauce...so yummy and the perfect appetizer! Tasty and delicious! The spring rolls are awesome and add a little of the spicy red sauce to the dipping sauce and WA WA WEE WA! YUM O!
If you are leery about trying this cuisine fret no more, all I have to say is if you crave some good soup you MUST TRY! You won't be disappointed and you can always pick the meat you want in the soup or get it with no meat. Add in the trimmings they give you which is the veggies and fresh herbs and voila its GRRRRRRRREAT! and trust me you will crave it later a few months down the road.
Favorite drink is always their green iced jasmine tea.
I have had many of the other menu items but by far best thing they have is the pho.
my only complaint - they should stay open later!!!! and get there before the rush.
