Description
This food-to-go shop in the middle of Irvine's land of sameness is a reprieve from Subway and the ubiquitous Flame Broiler. It comes from the owners of Pho Ba Co, already the preeminent purveyor of pho in the city, and the ones you trust to know the terrain. You can get a lot of what you can order at Pho Ba Co here, including a drink called the Black Sea, a pandan and grass jelly concoction that's just as wonderful here as it is at the original restaurant down the block. Ha Long is, however, different than its parent restaurant--it specializes in banh mi sandwiches for the lunch crowd, large party trays for those who are hosting get-togethers, and an inexplicable section of raw, marinated BBQ Korean style for, well, anyone else.
