And Broth

Got both the sandwich and noodle soup to share. Both were delicious, however the noodle soup was comparable to other good pho spots. I'd get the sandwich over the soup because it's harder to find elsewhere and had lots of meat.

Lots of street parking and little shops nearby. Loved that it is part of a food hall; my family ordered from several spots and loved all the food we ordered. Very clean food hall with lots of seating.

Absolutely amazing!

Came here on a friend's high recommendation and I was not disappointed whatsoever. It's a small shop in a larger food hall, but don't let the size fool you. The flavors are huge!

The brisket was extremely juicy and it matched so will with the pickled veggies and thinly sliced green onions. I would prefer more cilantros, but thats because I love the fragrance that cilantro has. The sandwich being on rye bread was such a great touch. If it was any other bread, I don't believe it would be able to withstand the juices, not to mention the broth you're encouraged to dip the sandwich in.

You are free to drink the broth separately, but I recommend dipping the sando in the broth. The richness of the broth brings so much flavor especially when the broad soaks it all up.

My only knock would be that the pickled radish and carrots aren't flavored as strongly as I prefer but it did its job: cleanse my palette.

If there are not that many people before you, expect a short 10-12min wait before your belly is full and satisfied!

DEE-LICIOUS! The Pho Beef Brisket Sandwich was scrumptious! I crave that sandwich often, and has shared how delicious it was with many people.
It has the perfect balance of meat to veggies/herbs ratio (I do like mine for on the veggie side), flavor is packed with that pho broth taste, tender and juicy meat, and the perfect vehicle to hold it all together... the Rye Bread.
I am not a fan of Rye Bread, but I loved this one!

It comes with a side of bee pho broth to dip the sandwich in, which was very tasty. You have to also get the pickled jalapenos, they are not spicy but taste super good with the sandwich.
I can't wait to come back here again.

Thank you And Broth for providing a delicious Pho Beef Brisket Sandwich! :)

Got the pho brisket sandwich to share with my bf. This was the perfect amount for me, but for my bf he said he could've ate an entire sandwich himself.

The moment I put the sandwich in my mouth, I was happy dancing while eating LOL. This was pretty much pho in sandwich form. It tasted exactly like the soup would without noodles. The brisket was so tender, better than pho places I've gone to. I love how much herbs and pickled onions there are. I love veggies and even asked for extra pickled onions.

I have to come back to try the BBH sandwich!!

This sandwich has been all over Instagram so knew we had to check it out while we were visiting Santa Ana. It's located inside a smaller food hall in downtown Santa Ana and we got lucky with it being pretty empty on a weekday. I ordered the famous pho brisket rye sandwich and it comes with a dipping broth on the side. The sandwich was piled high with brisket and I loved the shaved green onions and basil toppings that complimented the meat well. The actual broth was so good that I took sips of it while dipping my sandwich in there at the same time. It does get a bit messy so be prepared to have juices dripping down your hands, but all worth it in the end. I'd definitely be interested in trying their other bun Bo hue sandwich next time I'm in the area.

After the pho brisket sandwich and BBH sandwiches went viral on IG, I knew I had to try this place, especially since I work in the area. Both sandwiches are loaded with meat and get pretty messy, so be prepared! I love that they serve it with consommé so every bite you get a juicy beefy bite. Both sandwiches are good. The pho sandwich is better for those days I want a clean flavor profile. The BBH sandwich is better for those days you want more flavor punch in your face. I also tried their pho. I did find the broth just a smidge lacking in beef flavor compared to some of my favorite places, but still finished my bowl! I like the northern style that comes with the beef tallow--always want more beef flavor! Overall, it's a little pricey for pho, but it's probably my favorite spot to eat at in this market.

Overall:
4.75 for unique food that was incredibly delicious and well flavored.

The Service:
Service was fast and efficient. We came around 1pm on a Sunday and there was no line. We waited about 10 minutes for our food.

The Food:
Pho Brisket Sandwich - This tasted divine! They captured all the pho flavor in the beef brisket and it was accompanied with all the herbs that go with pho, giving it a wonderful flavor. I also loved that it came with pickled onions which balanced out the fattiness of the brisket. One comment is that the bread does get soggy so do finish it quickly! It also comes with a side of the pho broth which you can dip in but I found that a bit messy since the sandwich is stuffed with the beef brisket so I just took sips of it on the side.

The BBH Sandwich - As someone who loves bun bo hue, this was a perfect version of it in a sandwich. Similar to the pho brisket sandwich, this was stuffed to the brim with the tender and delicious beef and it had the herbs that go along with the Bun Bo Hue as well. It also had some pickled onions which helped cut through the fattiness. The bun bo hue broth that came with this was so flavorful and spicy, just the way I like it!

The Santa Ana Pho - I am very particular with my pho so I really enjoyed this pho! It was served with so much different types of meat from tendon to ribs. I honestly wish there was tripe in the pho. The broth was flavorful and you can tell that it was cooked for a very long time.

Price: The price is a bit pricier than most places, but I think the quality and uniqueness really shines. A bowl of pho is about $24 which is very pricey but the amount of pho with the noodles and beef can feed two people. The sandwiches are about $16-18 which is pricey for a sandwich but the taste and uniqueness was worth it.

The Atmosphere:
The restaurant is located in 4th Street Market which had plenty of seating when we went (both inside and outside).

Parking:
There is a parking structure behind the 4th Street Market that has free parking on weekdays and sometimes weekends I believe (it was hard to understand the sign....since it said only Saturday/Sunday evenings but we got free parking on a Sunday afternoon. There is also street parking but this is located in Downtown Santa Ana so it can be hard to find.

6.5/10 - The BBH (spicy beef sandwich) $16 | beef shank, cha lua, garlic aioli, pickled onions, herbs, scallions, spicy lemongrass chili oil, half french roll - For $16 im not sure if this was worth it, but it was a cool concept to try out. If you had authentic bun no hue before, you'd know what it is suppose to taste like and i think they did a decent job replicating that taste in a form of a sandwich. It comes w/ a small side of BBH broth and i think this could've used a little bit more flavor, but it was still good nonetheless. The sandwich itself was an okay size and very messy to eat. The roll had a decent crunch to it and the inside of the sandwich had a good amount of stuffing.

Finally tried the viral Pho Brisket Sandwich tucked inside the Santa Ana food court. Reminded me of a pastrami sandwich with its thick layer of briskets, onions, and basil leaves sandwiched between rye bread. It does also come with a side of broth which I wasn't so sure if I was suppose to dip the sandwich in or simply sip on the side. The sandwich was good but I still prefer the briskets in my pho. Not quite sure what I was expecting but it was quite interesting.

Of note, the rye bread does get a bit soggy and the briskets do fall out some and can get messy.

Overall it wasn't bad. Give it a try if you're in the area

Steep price for pho at almost $20 after taxes.
Not much of service as you help yourself with pretty much everything. Accidentally tipped them 10 cents but couldn't make the connection.

The broth is very flavorful and rich. However there just wasn't enough meat for my liking. And i don't eat a lot of meat..

Thai basil was pretty old and wilted.

The food is not bad. I think it has a potential to be great. However, there are better options out there. I wouldn't be returning and can't be recommending this place to any one.
