Pho 101 - Westminster

I didn't even think I liked pho until I came here. And I brought a family member when I came back to eat here and he also doesn't ever order pho, but he said this place's pho is great and he'd actually order it here.The broth is rich and delicious. I recommend ordering marinated onions and oxtail to add. I tried several meats and also the shrimp and tofu (since I came here twice to eat). I believe you can add 4 toppings per bowl. I also had their Thai tea, which was solid.The medium bowl is huge and only incredible eaters can get the large.Parking is not great and you'll get a spot if you're lucky. I went to eat around 2-3 PM to avoid the wait (seems like a half hour wait is normal) and to maybe grab a parking spot, which I managed to on my second visit. The first time I ate here, I parked at a place across the street.Parking: Parking is limited. Might have to park across the street.

Came here for lunch with my friend on a Thursday and there was plenty of seating. The restaurant is pretty big.I ordered the house special—crispy chicken with garlic butter sauce on rice. The chicken was little bit too crispy but damn was it tasty. The garlic butter sauce was perfect on the rice and the chicken. Even the salad it came with had some kind of garlic dressing and it was amazing.I tried my friend’s pho and it wasn’t bad but my rice dish was definitely better.Parking is kind of weird though. There’s only one way in and it’s through the life storage entrance. Keep going and you’ll find the parking lot for pho 101.

One of the offspring from the famous Pho 79, decor is newer and cleaner. They’ve raised the price but their portion are pretty generous. The picture of the Pho is size Medium $13.50) and you pick 4 proteins.I personally like their fatty brisket and tendons.You can smell and taste the strong broth of bone marinated over night and its spices. The broth is a bit darker, not as thick but very fragrant. Overall nice experience. Try them out.3.9/5

This is our first time visiting after numerous suggestions from friends saying this is the best Pho place around! We immediately loved the industrial modern vibe, with vaulted ceilings and metro rack-style divders of the eatery, when we walked in. We ordered Tra Thai (Thai iced tea , Iced Ca Phe Sura (French style coffee with condensed milk , Mon Dac Biet (House Special: crispy chicken with garlic butter sauce on rice , and Pho with brisket, meatballs, flank, and tofu. We were not disappointed; from the friendly server who helped us decide on the correct portion size to order and what proteins to try at the onset to the expedient delivery of our food, this was a very pleasant experience. Some of the things I appreciate are in the details of having the option to use real chopsticks vs only cheap wooden ones.We will definitely be back! Even if you are not a fan of Pho (gasp , there are options for you. Yes, make the U-turn off Edinger and make the effort to get to this hidden gem!*I forgot to take a photo of our entrees when they arrived, but instead, took a very sad photo of my half-eaten plate which does not look appetizing at all; so I chose not to share it. (You're welcome! ?‍?‍

Today we went to Pho 101 located at 8031 Edinger Westminster Ca.As entered, we noticed the enterior to be very nice and modern looking. We were warmly greeted, seated and given a menu. The menu looked very good with many choices.We ordered a large Pho with fatty beef, tendon, and braised beef, a spring rolls with pork and shrimp, fried egg roll accompanied with lettuce and other greens and a Thai ice tea.The order came very quickly. The pho was very large with an abundance of noodles, tendons and beef. The beef was the best that I've had in pho. The beef was super tender. The broth was exceptional.The spring rolls were about 7 inches long amd full of flavor and fresh.The friend egg rolls were wrapped in lettuce and greens then dipped into the sauce. It made for very delicious tasty morsel.The Thai ice tea was good but typical taste of other places. It was refreshing.Definitely a place to visit!
