"When Tong Trần and Liễu Trần opened Pho 79 in Orange County, California in 1982, it was one of the first restaurants in the area to serve these rich bowls of rice noodles served in beef broth with brisket, tripe, meatballs, or oxtail. Now a part of a vibrant Vietnamese American community in southern California, the next generation of the Trần family operates this restaurant as well as a few others in the area, including Pho 101." - Lyndsey Matthews
