Pho XLB

Soup dumplings elsewhere might be more refined or even more generous, but none have greater lure than the beef pho version at South Coast Plaza’s PARADISE DYNASTY. They sell out within hours daily. Also popular are the seasonal and limited-edition XLBs. The eight flavor basket (e.g., crab roe, pulled Kurobuta pork) is a signature.
