Pho & Seafood House in Laguna Niguel

Used to come here a lot. Never again. When I walked in two couples were finishing at the tables. They leave. The tables both sat with trash and leftovers forever, employee never cleaned up. After I ordered she said 15 minutes. 7-10 others walk in after me and she wouldn’t help anyone! One Grubhub pickup couldn’t wait any longer so he left leaving his customer without their food. One guy came back to get something that they missed on his order. My 15 minutes turned into 40 minutes! And then the only employee at the front is handling transactions, the phone and food without washing her hands or switching her gloves!! I couldn’t eat the food she packaged after she touched the phone and used the same hands to get all the condiments (limes, sprouts, etc) with the same hands touching money and the phone among everything else. Very unsanitary. I won’t be back.

We had Pho soup and it's quite good. Same for garlic noodles and spring rolls. I like going there for creamy hot taro milk tea. Right drink for a cold day.

My last review here was when I had picked up banh mi. In between the flat service & sandwiches, Pho & Seafood House earned a solid three star rating. However, the last several times here, my friend picked up the combination pho along with spring rolls and it has been consistently good. So much, that I decided to revisit and update my writeup. For takeout, I am really impressed with their choice of containers & portions. I sure hope they keep up the consistency in quality as well as servings. (Thumbs up) As fellow yelp*er, Lisa M, wrote as a tip, "even if the broth feels hot, pour it into a microwave-safe container and heat for 5 min as it needs to be piping hot." True story. If you want to prepare the pho properly, the broth needs to be boiling hot in order to set the noodles & "cook" the meat. Personally, I wait a bit after pouring over my brot...
