Pho Ga Hai Van 2
Included In
Anaheim is located a short drive from Westminster’s Little Saigon neighborhood, home to some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the country. We certainly endorse a separate trip there while you’re in town, but if you’re crunched on time, head to Pho Ga Hai Van 2. This casual cafe on Magnolia Ave. has a big menu of Viet hits like salted fish fried rice, shaken beef with crispy rice rolls, and a particularly good bowl of congee. If you only get one dish though, make it the namesake pho ga. This light, slightly sweet chicken broth is the kind of elixir that’ll satisfy you without making you want to take a nap before that 4pm pharmaceutical presentation back at the convention center.
