Pho So 1 Lake Forest

The food is good, no question. We enjoyed the meal. The service, however, is just ok. There was no out and out poor behavior, but it was very cold and there was definitely not a welcome feeling. I might go back and just get take out.

First time here, and we just sorta stumbled upon this place. From the outside, there is little that calls attention to Pho So. Once inside, it reminds you of an 80's diner with a couple of flat-screen TVs for entertainment.

We were greeted when we entered, which was pretty cool. Then the staff were at our table very quickly, took our drink orders, and left after providing menus. Once we had ordered our food and the drinks delivered, it was shortly thereafter that our food was delivered.

I had the pork vermicelli with fish sauce, which was pretty tasty. My friends had Pho and the other the chicken. Everyone was very satisfied with what they ordered, as evidenced by the fact there was little left on the plates when we were done.

So this is a nice little gem of a location, with a friendly staff and great service. The only thing this place is missing is the fancy decor found in more pretentious establishments. You might want to consider lunch here.

Can't find this great price pho anywhere anymore!! They are extremely efficient which probably helps the keep cost down. Great pho. Next time I'll get a large bowl 😀

I can’t give this place a good enough review. The food is amazing and the service was excellent! They even refilled our broth for no extra fee and were right on it when they saw our bowl was getting low.

We went on a cold rainy night and left with a smile on our face. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

The service is friendly and quick. We are always greated warmly and with a smile.
Food comes fast and hot. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean. I recommend this place.
