    Delicious food and friendly services! Kim makes the best Vietnamese coffee!!! Very clean and welcoming. Check it out the next time you're in Chino Hills!

    Spicy 5 Piece WINGS!
    James N.

    10 STARS FOR ME! I'm honestly surprised this place doesn't have more reviews or more traffic! The wings were incredible--golden brown with a handmade batter and spices mixed together perfectly. You can tell they're made fresh and cooked just right. The lemongrass chicken was also delicious--full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. So good I ordered Rib eye (beef) Banh Minh sandwich!! The owner (I didn't catch her name) was very kind and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try the calamari next time! Highly recommend checking this place out.

    21. Charbroiled Pork on Vermicelli with egg rolls
    Vera L.

    This used to be Lemongrass but they changed the owner. It's decent Vietnamese food but I think they're charging way too high for simple Vietnamese food. $7 for a Vietnamese coffee and almost $20 for Pho. Pork vermicelli - big enough portion . egg rolls were really good but strips of charbroiled pork were little and sliced very thin . Love how the veggies were fresh. Fish sauce was bland Bun Bo hue- good and flavorful but still lacking some broth depth compared to other places Spring rolls- decent and fresh. Wish there were the crispy stuff inside like how Lemongrass and Brodards do it. The lady was extremely nice. As much as I want to support small businesses , I can't see myself wanting to come again. I'd rather drive further to OC or 626 for some authentic Vietnamese place. Best of luck!

    This WAS a 32. Pho Chicken

    32. Pho Chicken. Overall Rating: 9/10; they do pho right Quality: 9/10; clean, not bad value for portion size but everything be $$$ now, good amount of chicken:noodle ratio Good customer service Would come back for ribeye pho and banh mi's Improvements: would love sambal for the table (only hoisin, sriracha, shoyu)

    A cold winter day calls for a Pho. Tried Basil Bistro for the first time. Tried the spicy seafood Thai style. Loved it. Food 5 stars Ambience : casual dining 5 stars Service 5 stars. Was not a big fan of the fried rice but Pho was bang on... definitely coming back.

    Charbroiled Pork w/ Egg Roll Rice Plate
    Fiona Y.

    We came for Mother's Day lunch, looking to try a new spot and left with happy bellies. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was friendly and quick, the best combo! We ordered their Charbroiled pork with egg roll rice plate, vermicelli bowl, and Pad Thai. The pork cutlets were pounded thin until tender, marinated with so much flavor, and grilled until aromatic. The rice plate came with two cutlets over a mound of rice, I was impressed with the portion size. My egg roll was so crispy and came hot. The Pad Thai had a unique twist, it didn't have the usual sweet-tart sauce, instead more like a garlicky sweet soy sauce. Still delicious! The noodles were flat and thicker, but it still had a nice chew for texture. Shrimp was a bit overcooked, but no other complaints. Can't wait to come back!

    chicken and rice bowl
    Lacey C.

    I had no idea this place was even here, It's new and it is SO delicious. It's such good food and such good quality food. The flavor of the beef broth on the pho was so good I drank the broth until my bowl was empty. The vegetables were fresh and the flavor was great! My husband got the chicken and rice bowl and we both had pickled carrots and jalapeño to garnish. The place is really cute and clean, and the service was great. I will definitely come back! I'm so glad there is a new delicious Pho place to visit.

    Gyoza
    Lishya H.

    I saw this newly opened Vietnamese Thai restaurant the other week and was eager to try since the menu looks very appealing. It was a Wednesday night and we were the only table beside another table with one person. Scanned through the menu and decided to order beef pho, yam veggie roll, gyoza and fried chicken bowl. The service was nice and attentive. Now, let me review the food: - Beef pho is below par, the broth wasn't hot at all and it was too little for the typical pho bowl. Nicely, the waiter brought us another bowl of broth and it was very hot when we mentioned our concern to him. Why not from the beginning they served it as hot? The flavor of the broth wasn't savory IMHO. It's not that authentic and the beef is just ok, a bit dry overall. - Fried chicken rice bowl is more like Japanese Oyako don, but with fried chicken. The portion is pretty small, the portion of the chicken itself more like appetizer size. The rice also tastes old. - Yam Veggie Roll was pretty good, but way too much Thai sweet chili sauce and gyoza was just ok. Definitely it breaks my heart to experience this at a newly opened restaurant and as much as I'd love supporting small business, I'll put my money somewhere else.

    Banh Mi , 31. Pho Beef Ribeye, and 26. Pad Thai with Shrimp
    Jonathan Y.

    Today I came here for the first time ever. My wife and I would always go next door for sushi but we were feeling for some Vietnamese food. Let me tell yall, this place does NOT disappoint! We requested for the Pad Thai to be spicy and sure enough, it came out with the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The Pho had a great broth and noodle texture. Banh mi was very authentic. Overall, this place deserves 5 stars and definitely would recommend!!

    Incredible food and service. Best Banh Mi we've ever had. The lemongrass beef banh mi should be famous. Pork spring rolls are incredible. We drove an hour out of our way to come back here. Clean, friendly. We'll be back.

    一直在考慮,到底要給他們三顆星還是四顆星,事實上在我心裡面大概就在三點五顆左右,裡面的環境是明亮也漂亮的,有小小的自己的特色,本來看到泰式跟越式一起的餐廳很興奮,想來試試,到底是什麼樣的滋味,結果只有第一道炸春捲還可以,我很喜歡吃的豬排飯,真的非常的鹹,另外我叫的炒麵,鍋氣也有待加強,東西就是差一點點,大概就是75分左右,但是他們的服務態度是好的,整體環境也是不錯的!

    28. Bun Bo Hue
    Kevin N.

    Flavorful bowl of Bun Bo Hue that is extremely temperature hot. Perfect for a cold day. The restaurant this place replaced tasted a bit better, but this place is good too.

It is incredibly moist, perfectly sweet, and has the most amazing, rich ube flavor. You cannot leave without trying this! ​Halo Halo: Packed with all the traditional goodies and so refreshing. It's the BOMB. ​Ube Truffles: Bite-sized perfection.

The café also has free Wi-Fi, a few outlets, and a clean, spacious restroom. One thing I appreciated was that the staff seemed to care about maintaining a comfortable environment. A child near my table was having a tantrum, and an employee politely asked the parents to take the child outside until things had calmed down. Since many customers were there to work or study, I thought that was handled well. The girl who took my order was also incredibly kind. Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name, but her smile was contagious and genuinely brightened my day. Food: My table ordered the tiramisu latte and the ube latte.

Parking is easy. The lot is spacious and big. However, this business has awful visibility; it's very easy for new guests to overlook it. But like a strongly guarded secret, this business is POPULAR. Staff is efficient and amicable. Staff is polite and knowledgeable, but Staff is also curt and very focused on crafting their coffee. My coffee took four minutes and 26 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Caffe Latte ($7 - Large - Iced). When thoroughly stirred, the coffee's true flavor blossoms. The potency becomes balanced, and the taste of vanilla & roasted coffee lithely intertwine. The aftertaste is reminiscent of a smoky caramel. There's utility and personality in this freshly brewed coffee. It's easy to understand why this spot is so popular. On ambiance, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is a study/work paradise. Unlike the tiny outside, the interior is unexpectedly spacious. There's about six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details are in small text on the counter's menu. The location also has about four tables, one long wooden table, and five mini portable tables. In addition, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is clean, well-maintained, and well-ventilated. There's a gender neutral restroom in the back, and the music is chill & calm. The location is filled with working college students whispering about Harvard and preparing for the future. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar). The coffee is affordable, good quality, and functional. The location is comfortable and calm. If searching for a wonderful study/work spot, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5!
