Phoholic Menu Prices 2026: Full Pho List & Southern California Locations

Almost every bowl at Phoholic is priced at $16.50 — the chain uses flat pricing across its entire pho lineup so you pay the same whether you order a simple Pho Tai or a five-cut Holic bowl. The one exception is the Pho Tai Bap & Duoi Bo (beef shank and oxtail), which is priced at $17.50. Confirm with your specific location, as pricing can vary slightly by store.

Phoholic is a beef-only pho specialist — the entire menu is built around a single protein (beef) in multiple cuts, all served in a slow-simmered bone broth. The menu is deliberately narrow: no chicken pho, no vermicelli salads, no spring rolls. That focus on a single dish, and specifically on broth quality, earned the Westminster location a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation and placement on the Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants (2025) list at #85. The menu is organized into three tiers: The Beginners (simple, approachable cuts), The Adventure's (specialty cuts like tripe and tendon), and The Holic (multi-cut combination bowls).

Phoholic operates four locations in Southern California as of 2026: Westminster (14932 Bushard St — the flagship, open until midnight, with a drive-thru), Stanton (at Rodeo 39 Public Market), Costa Mesa, and Hacienda Heights (at 99 Plaza). The Westminster location is the original and most reviewed, with over 2,100 Yelp reviews. Use Google Maps or Yelp to confirm current hours for each location.

Phoholic's Westminster location holds a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation — a Michelin recognition for exceptional cooking at a moderate price, awarded to restaurants that offer quality at under roughly $40 per person for a full meal. It is not a Michelin star (which is a separate, higher tier). Phoholic was also ranked #85 on the Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants (2025) list, which named it among the best dining destinations in Los Angeles County.

Phoholic organizes its bowls into three sections: The Beginners features approachable cut combinations (steak, brisket, meatballs) that are familiar to most diners new to pho. The Adventure's introduces specialty cuts like fatty flank (gau), tripe (sach), and tendon (gan) — cuts less common on mainstream menus. The Holic is the full-expression tier: multi-cut bowls with five or more toppings, including the premium beef shank and oxtail bowl. All tiers are priced at the same $16.50 flat rate except the beef shank & oxtail bowl at $17.50.

Pho Tai is Vietnamese beef noodle soup topped with thinly sliced rare steak (tai = steak or eye of round). The raw or near-raw steak is placed on top of hot noodles and broth just before serving; it finishes cooking in the bowl. To eat pho, add your preferred accompaniments from the condiment tray — bean sprouts, fresh basil, lime wedges, hoisin sauce, and chili paste are typical. Stir and eat directly from the bowl with chopsticks and a spoon. At Phoholic, you can also choose between thin rice noodles and wide flat fresh noodles.

Yes. The Westminster location has a drive-thru — unusual for a full pho restaurant and one of Phoholic's most-cited distinguishing features. All locations offer takeout and delivery (via third-party apps). Pho travels reasonably well with the broth in a separate container, though the noodles will continue to absorb liquid during transport. For the best experience, eat in-store.

Phoholic offers a choice between thin rice noodles (the traditional pho style) and wide flat fresh noodles. The wide flat noodles are a house option that reviewers frequently highlight as a way to make the bowl feel heartier. You can typically request your preference when ordering. Confirm noodle choices with your specific location at the time of your visit.

The Westminster location is open daily from 8:00 AM to midnight, making it one of the later-closing pho restaurants in Southern California. The other locations (Stanton, Costa Mesa, Hacienda Heights) generally close around 10:00 PM. Hours can vary on holidays — confirm via Yelp or Google Maps before making a late-night run.
