Pot Au Feu Pho Restaurant - Garden Grove, CA

Pot Au Feu Pho Restaurant, Garden Grove, CA
My friend and I are always looking for places to eat near Disneyland (we have annual passes) so we stopped by Pot Au Feu Pho restaurant in Garden Grove. The large Vietnamese community in Orange County equals lots of yummy food.

Only 3 miles from Disneyland, Pot Au Feu Vietnamese restaurant is a world apart from the offerings at D-Land and so much less expensive!

We split two main dishes. Here is Pho Tai Nam (#P4 rice noodles with filt mignon and flank) (regular size $5.75; large size $6.50).

The pho broth was very tasty and I enjoyed this dish. I always add some sriracha sauce to my pho and pile in the bean sprouts, basil and lime.

We also ordered Bun ga xao xa ot (#B7 vermicelli with lemongrass chicken and chili) $6.50.

We got an order of Spring Rolls (#A4 goi cuon $4.50). These were my least favorite...the meat was a bit dry and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. I grabbed some of the Vermicelli fish sauce to dip the rolls.

My friend got a Vietnamese coffee (ca phe sua $2.50) and that inspired me to make a gelatin creation I'll show you during National Library Week (April 11-17)!

If you are headed to the Magic Kingdom and want something other than the Rainforest Cafe or hamburgers in the Park, stop by Pot Au Feu! Here is the Yelp listing.

  1. Looks like a very satisfying lunch for a fraction of a cost at D-Land.

  6. I agree with Daily Chef that your phone takes very good pictures. I am green with envy reading this post. I miss (good) Vietnamese food and pho, bun, rolls and iced coffee are my favorites! I can't wait to see what you make for NLW.

  7. I love Pho. I used to make it a lot after my Laotian friend taught me how.
