I come here for lunch all the time. Their prices are actually reallly hard to beat these days. I’ve had their Bun Rieu, Bun Rieu Oc, Bun Thit Nuong, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Cha Gio. Alll of it is good! Flavors are right. The fresh bean sprouts and veggies abundant. The Bun Rieu is the best here though. There is a 3 or 4% credit card fee so its good to have cash here! Theres also a togo food section but I feel like it is not as good as the noodle soup dishes. I’ve gotten spring rolls catered here as well. Small family owned restaurant and super sweet staff. I love that its super quiet here on my lunch breaks.

This little hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant is off the charts damn good. Not over salted food like most Restaurants tend to do. Parking could be a challenge, so park across the street and walk. One of the best I've had, and right in Tustin.

Hidden authentic Vietnamese joint. Their eggrolls are only $0.80. The owner is very sweet and puts so much beef in pho. 10/10 recommended.

This place is packed with an authentic vibe, and the food is absolutely addictive! I recently tried their Bun Bo Hue, and it's hands-down the best I've had. The broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of spice - it's so good, I find myself craving it again and again! The owners and staff are warm and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. It's truly a hidden gem. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or looking for the ultimate hangover cure, Kim Huong has become my favorite spot. Highly recommend giving it a try!

A true hidden gem that consistently delivers amazing, affordable food! It had been a little while since my last visit, but a serious craving for Bun Bo Hue brought me back. And as always, the owner came through with fantastic customer service – that personal touch really makes a difference. Beyond the delicious food and great service, I had a somewhat unexpected observation that speaks volumes about this place. I needed to use the restroom, which is located in the back. I'd never ventured back there before, but I was genuinely impressed: it was hella clean and incredibly organized. You know what they say – the state of the restroom can often tell you a lot about the rest of the restaurant's hygiene and attention to detail. This spot clearly cares! Now, back to the food. My Bun Bo Hue craving was more than satisfied – the soup was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. My partner opted for the Vermicelli with Grilled Meat, a fantastic choice, and even got a side of their Pho broth (which was also damn good, by the way!). And you absolutely cannot leave without trying the Egg Rolls – they're a definite must-try!

The PHO was on point but The Wor won ton was out of this world. It was the noodles that got me. I will be returning. There customer service is great. Enough space for wheelchair. Parking lot is a bit small, but shouldn’t be a hassle. A must try if you are near by. Map it.
