Pho Yummy@Artesia ★★★

Great Pho. Aromatic 12-hour soup broth (hence, the dark color). Only Wagyu Beef is used in their broth. No MSG. Comes with bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño, and lime. Can choose thick or thin noodles. "Thick" noodles was the nice & flat one. Must also try their Taiyaki Croissant – Taiyaki but creatively made with crusty Croissant pastry. Yum. Owner had Yaiyaki in Japan and fell in love with it. Great passionate server, Jenny. Only use healthy antioxidant sugar crane for their drinks instead of sugar. Hot Green Tea $2. Free parking in lot. Not to be confused with Pho Tasty nearby.

Pho Bri Combo (large) $15.99
thinly sliced raw steak, brisket, tender rib chunks, tendon, meatballs

Taiyaki Croissant (Taro) $5

Súp Noodle Bar@Buena Park ★★★

Best Pho Ever. Have been coming to Súp since before the pandemic but have only been ordering togo after the pandemic. Dining in here for the first time since a while ago, it blew my mind. It's hands down the best Pho ever. Soup base is a 48-hour bone broth. Very tasty. Free unlimited noodle refill. Free basil and extra onion upon request. Also like their Lomo Saltado and Garlic Noodles with Shrimp. Free Herbal Iced Tea per Yelp check-in per person (dine-in only), which is $4 value. Great service. Free parking in lot. Also has branch in Irvine (relocated from Cerritos).

Combination Pho (Chef's Choice) $19, Shaken Style +$0.50
beef belly, tendon, brisket, meatball, and one rib bone

Egg Rolls 3 pieces $9.50 (add one roll + $2.50)

David Nguyen@JACCC Rising Chef Series with Suntory ★★★

Fun Vietnamese Fusion Pop-Up with Stories behind Each Dish. Dishes inspired by Chef David Nguyen's stories about growing up in Vietnam and US. Love the personal touch. He's from French Laundry and Club 33. We figured out that we crossed path at Club 33 in 2014 when he started training there, then he was working at French Laundry when we went in 2017. Flavors and ingredient choice were perfect. Partnered with Suntory, included vodka & whiskey wine pairing. Alcohol on the stronger side, which was fun. $180 + $12.59 fee per person. Tax and tips included. Sold out event. Free parking at structure.
