I'll give a long and honest review. This place is a hidden gem amongst all the other pho restaurants in the area. Although a bunch more pho restaurants are beginning to open up, this restaurant stays true to the original pho taste. The broth here is super clear and refreshing, and despite the negative comments saying otherwise, the portions are very generous. They ration the meat to noodles well and even just a regular size is insanely filling for me! This is a family run restaurant with friendly workers. It has an A rating displayed outside the restaurant, and a very large menu variety. Although many leave poor reviews, I strongly believe this restaurant deserves more love. It's the OG for a reason! Please give this restaurant some more love. The owner is extremely nice and always willing to answer questions. read more

Food portion is terrible, I understand that gas price, material costs increased. But you cannot make profit by decreasing the portion. Used to be two chops plus sausage, now only one piece with sausage. Do not even feed me. Don't come back again. You know what portion was, it's not a just about the pieces, also the size of your chop. Now it's as thin as a cardboard. It's not just me complain about the portion. Don't play wordplay. read more

This place is a saving grace when you're sick! I ordered a large pho ga (chicken) with extra chicken and soup. It was plentiful to keep me fed through illness. I found phoning my order in and coming to pick it up was the most efficient. Staff is friendly and always kind. read more

Been coming here for years and was shocked to see a 3 star rating! I've never had a problem here and the food is always great. I always grab a large steak pho and my wife a small chicken pho. Sometimes we even throw in the egg rolls and a green tea smoothie with boba! We always get the food to go so we can watch a movie while we eat and we are never disappointed. read more

I called in an order for tofu springrolls and they were ready fairly quickly. When I came in, all of the employees in the restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and fairly quiet (since I came in the late afternoon).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lettuce in the springrolls had some black pieces and the rice paper was a little hard. The springrolls had a good taste and were stuffed a lot but all three of them fell apart. I thought the price was a little steep given they only gave me 3 springrolls. Overall, I may visit again but the price was a big turnoff. read more

California Noodle & Grill - TSR. Tofu Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

Came here with my girlfriend for a Saturday lunch. I was somewhat familiar with the cuisine, so I ordered the Chicken Noodle Pho and also an order of spring rolls. The food and service was excellent, with one person handling the business. Very impressive. The meal was so filling that I skipped dinner with no regrets. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for a casual dine-in experience or order to go for a nice meal at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stumble upon this place decided to support small business very disappointed with the food portions I spend about $50 for my food to look like this. The menu said no soup but yet I got my food ingredients separately and it looked like soup. I bought these meals to share with one other person but portions are not shareable. read more

Very underrated. Much better than the Yelp rating leads on. Closest thing to Westminster pho in the area.

This is a great spot when you are little sick, they have hot great soup. My fav menu is number 3, very flavorful and nutritious

Let's me start with the fact that they have a letter A rating displayed on their front door! That a Plus for me. As I walk in I was greeted by a nice young gentleman. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A delicious aroma of Pho broth filled the air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bright yellow paint makes the restaurant feel bright & joyful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cutest older gentleman took our order! I order their small bowl with slice beef. My husband's order the large #1, eggs rolls. I will say that everything was soo good! Wish I came across this gem sooner! Definitely enjoy the food & the service! read more

I ordered the rice dish with shrimp paste, charbroiled beef, baked egg with rice. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, just dug in. Also ordered the fried egg roll and that was pretty good too. For Vietnamese food in the area, it was pretty good. Service was prompt and quick when you asked for something. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant looked looked they could have fit more tables but it was adequate seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very popular on a Sunday for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They should change their hours. We came at 8:40 for takeout and they said they were already closed.

Service was great! Fast too. Ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they were delish! The only negative was the peanut sauce was not thick or peanut buttery it was a consistency of teriyaki sauce. I also ordered the veggie pho and it was a little too fatty for me and not enough flavor in the broth. Other than those things it was good. I paid $35 for a large bowl of veggie pho and spring rolls. I would come back. read more

I would rate this place zero stars if I could. I am never coming back here again After tasting Soggy rice towards about eating till the end of that bowl. Everything was going downhill here. We are thinking ownership changed during the Pandemic. I understand inflation, but this is like the stingiest Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. Big time SMH. I try not to write lower star reviews, but I know Vietnamese food and this is far from that especially when rice turned out soggy, and I had to spit it out. Don't be cheated by the large bowl you see: my parents complained they cheated out on the beef quantities here as well. From my plate, cucumbers used to show up more pieces as well. I seriously know Vietnamese food, nobody cooks soggy rice. You have lost me. PS: I stand by my review. You sent Extremely Soggy steamed rice. I have Not been to any Vietnamese restaurant that sent Soggy rice. SMH. End.Of.Story. 02/13/24. read more

I've been coming here since 2010 and it's still a hidden gem in my opinion. The food and the service is always fast and efficient with good customer service!

Pho here is mediocre. Noodles are cooked way to soggy. Soup is so so. Prices went way up. Quality went down. This place used to be decent like a decade ago, but there's better options around nowadays. Service is ok. It's due for a remodel. It's getting more run down by the year. My dad likes coming here, but I don't anymore..Better options out there. read more

Sad how $hitty this place is now. 3 pieces of meat in my combo, wack cooked pork chop! Seriously? How do you mess that up? [[HIGHLIGHT]]No wonder it's never busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just close read more

This is a good spot in this area of Chino for some delicious pho soup. Met up here for lunch with a friend. He comes here regularly and wanted some pho soup. His was the seafood soup and I got the house soup which is a combination of different types of meats. Very delicious! Highly recommend trying! We also ordered a side of their fried eggs rolls with a side of dipping sauce. The sauce is very good, makes the egg roll more tastier!

$9.50 Banh mi?????!!!!!! No way. I found this place on Yelp. I should have known it was going to be expensive when I walked in and got seated by a host and given laminated menus lol I thought I'd be able to come in and get a quick Banh mi. I got what I paid for. The meat quality was good. I'll give them that. But the size was small compared to most Banh mi shops. Not much else. Service was good. But I won't be back. But don't let me stop you. Give them a try. read more

California Noodle & Grill - Smallest Banh mi ever. $9.50. Not too happy lol but it was ok - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

It was my first time in a long time (maybe 3 years) since I've dined IN the restaurant (we usually get take out). Was pleasantly greeted upon entering and we were seated immediately. (More like "sit anywhere...on this side" lol) I ordered a small bowl of veggie pho- rice noodles, tofu, broccoli, carrots, onion, bok choy, and mushrooms in beef broth. We also ordered veggie egg rolls to share. The food was fantastic as always and service was great. Our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. My only complaint would be the utensils at the table, they were filthy as well as the condiment bottles. We used their chopsticks as they are sealed and wrapped individually, so check the silverware...if you plan to use them! Also, be sure to check in on Yelp to redeem your FREE soda! read more

It's a Wednesday night. The wife and I are hungry and it's getting late. Where do we pick? California Noodle. It has been awhile since we have came and dine in. The wife and I thought it would be good to not accumulate anymore plastics at home so we decided to dine in. The first thing that caught my eye was the menu and the increased prices! I mean got damn $12 for a small bowl of pho? Guess I will have to work more hours at work. I did not know inflation was at its peak. The food came out fast and there was nothing really out of the world or tastes any different. We just came for nostalgia and support our local businesses. My wife loves this place, but I think I would stay away more due to pricing. Portions were nothing to gawk about. If you're going to ask for any substitutions for yellow noodles in your pho, don't be surprised that they will charge you and not tell you. read more

We got take out yesterday from California Noodle and Grill. I used to go all the time but since I had found Pho n Mor, I hadn't really gone back. I remembered how much I used to love their vermicelli dishes. My bf said he was going to bring me lunch so I asked for vermicelli from CN&G. I got the #72 vermicelli with charbroiled chicken and egg rolls. He got the same but with the beef instead. The servings were pretty generous in my opinion, we didn't finish our meals. It was also so good so we forgot to take good pictures! Lol the noodles were nice and soft yet still firm enough to go perfectly with the dish. It comes with hot sauce on the side and fish sauce in a small container. I have nothing bad to say, but I want to go back sooner than later. The chicken was SO FLAVORFUL. The charbroiled taste was apparent, cooked perfectly. Even the salad was good! When my bf called to order it was prompt and he received good service. I'm glad we gave it a try after so much time. Everything was excellent. read more

I been going to this plc for a long time, food is great, last time was two weeks ago and today at 10:21 am I got a charge on my debit card for $70 and another one for $7, they weren't even open yet, I called the restaurant,,the guy was very disrespectful, even cussed me out, I was trying to tell him someone there was using my debit card he was just yelling and keep asking me who I was and what I wanted, I asked him to review the transaction cause they weren't even open yet so it shouldn't be any transactions, anyways, a nightmare, luckily I called my bank to put a claim, I got my temporary credit and they sent me a new debit card, so, if you go there, pay cash, if you use your debit or credit cards you are risking that someone there is either taking a picture or making a copy of your card read more

first off, all the bad reviews are salty people who can't enjoy themselves. lot of bad review isn't even food it's atmosphere or price which is their own opinion but my opinion it's a 5 star. The food didn't taste like i'm eating out, it tasted homemade. the food was very good and i was iffy on going but you gotta step outside your comfort zone and try new things. it's a well portioned meal for price. 2 plates and a appetizer 40$ which is super reasonable. if you think that's expensive then go to the even more expensive carl's jr across the street. Anyways thank you for the amazing food and i hope everyone gives this place a try ! #24 was amazing. 23,24 and egg rolls were the dishes shown read more

When our other pho place sadly went out of business I went to find somewhere else to grab a quick snack that we occasionally enjoy. I can get more food at In-N-Out or even Chilis for the price I paid for two. $30 for two appetizer items. One extra star for freshness and the egg rolls being super crispy. I won't be coming back sorry. I know businesses are struggling but my dollars are spent better elsewhere. read more

Wow, gave this place another x2 try because the 1st one was improved in quality but today 12/22/24. 2pm. Ordered pho, and to my surprise, no flavor or aroma.from what you expect in pho...real.pho.and.not watered down soup.....most inconsistent soup. And to mention, the MOST EXPENSIVE OVERPRICED UNFLAVORED PHO.....so sad!. Please check the quality of your soup prior to serving. Don't be cheap.on the beef bone when preparing soup...people who enjoy pho taste your cheapness mr/Mrs owner read more

We live like 2 miles away from this restaurant and we loved (keyword - loved) going to this place for the food and the price. Last weekend we spontaneously decided to eat there. Our jaws dropped when we saw the price hike, it was not just a dollar or two increase but more!!! What in the world! I understand that everything is expensive now but their price increase is bordering on ridiculous. It's total insanity. Food was still good but noticed that quality was not there too. I ordered the bun with eggrolls and the rice noodles were just one homogenous mass. We were really saddened with the incredible price hike and needless to say, won't be visiting them again for a long while. Sorry, California Noodle and Grill, we are breaking up with you now. :( read more

Great pho! Tasty beef and pork sandwiches! Oh and the spring rolls are good too. I've been here many times small and family owned definitely support them when in the area ! read more

Nice Vietnamese option in the Chino/Chino Hills area. My parents like their pho and I like their rice dishes. I've had the pork chop and beef and they were both good. I like the little fish sauce they give with each entree. It's great for dipping meat or pouring a little over your rice. Portions were decent. An entree and some egg rolls filled me up. The egg rolls are great and come with some lettuce so you can make it a little wrap and tell yourself it's healthier lol. Prices are pretty reasonable with most around $10 per entree. Service was fast and friendly. They're a great takeout option. Plenty of parking in front and it's away from the busy end of the Chino Spectrum so you can get in and out fast. They have a pretty large menu too so it's definitely worth repeat visits. read more

It has now become the most expensive Phoʻ in the Inland Empire. A small bowl is almost $15.00 and a large is an additional $3.00. It is good, however, not that good for $$$$$. read more

Came for dinner with my sister and ordered #10. Pho Tai Nam Gau. The pho was delicious! I really enjoyed the broth, it was full of flavor compared to other local pho restaurants that I've tried. I just wished the broth was piping hot (the way I like it). Also, they do not carry REAL sriracha brand :( read more

the food is great, I especially enjoyed the texture of the egg noodles. The servers are always sweet. I was caught off guard by the prices-- ~$7 Thai tea vs ~$5 last time we came, for example. I do like this place but would probably pick something else for the new price point, unfortunately. read more

This has always been my family and extended family's go-to Pho joint since I grew up in Phillips Ranch. The quality of the broth has always been consistent and had a taste that brings comfort. The spring rolls are always made fresh. The rice paper is soft and never feels like it was made the previous day with the hard rice paper. Since I've moved out of the area. It's been many years since I visited this place. Last time I probably went was early 2010s. The quality of the food is still the same. However, the prices have gone up. All the bowls are in the $12-14ish range. The customer service I feel like has changed. The waitress gave my party an attitude, messed up my drink and told me if I didn't touch it that she could take it back (which is kinda of weird because a restaurant shouldn't be re-serving food. So me touching it shouldn't be an issue). The gentleman that took my check was nice. I would probably go back to get something to-go because the quality of food is still good but wouldn't revisit to sit-in based on the most recent experience. read more

This is totally waste of money $18 . I ordered a carry out dish no. 101 bean curd skin with shrimp rice noodle soup. The soup came in very small container. The rice noodle is a lot and 6-8 piece of cut up bean curb skin shrimp. I ask for more seasoning and all i get was bag of msg ajinomoto. See picture, clearly not enough soup. I am paying $ 18 for few pieces of bean curb shrimp and lotsa noodle. So not worth it. I rather eat steak for that price. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years! The quality and taste stayed the same and the price stayed relatively the same as well throughout the years, which I appreciate! Because of covid, they now have clear dividers, which I really like. You are in your own space now. The servers are also really great. Their is this young gentleman, he's very nice and such a great help! Perfect for a quick bite or hanging out with friends! Will continue to support this business! read more

Was a so-so spot. Not sure I'd go back, though. Ordered a chicken and veggie pho. Got home and realized they didn't label broth so I had to call to get clarification. Veggie option was average taste, happy with my order. My boyfriend's chicken was a little dry so he ate maybe half and threw it out. Chicken banh mi sandwich was average. Chicken fried rice was a 2/5, not gross but below average. The staff was friendly and they give lots of sauce which is rare at most restaurants. read more

We were in the shopping center for couple of errands. My husband was craving for pho as usual. Because it's one of his favorite food besides sushi. We didn't expect much but surprisingly it didn't disappoint us. The place was decorated with traditional yet modern touch. Was very clean and organized. Service was good. Most importantly Pho soup was Hot & Flavorful w/ good texture of noodles. Good portions of beef & noodles. Fresh veggie too. Will be coming back! read more

This place was ok, I didn't like how my Pho tastes like tap water the broth, I was expecting a better tasting pho, this is my second time here I said I wasn't coming back the first time because of how it tasted but thought maybe it was me, second time here not a biggest fan. For the price I'd go down the street to pho amor the best pho in town, taste rich like pho from Vietnam. But if your in a pinch this place never has a wait, and you'll be seated quick and food out in less than 5 minutes read more

It's clear that the business owner Danny can't take criticism of his horrible establishment. This was TWO YEARS AGO & trust me, we never came back & never will. We were charged $7.16 for a cup of fried rice. As you can see in the photo, what you see is what you get for $7.16. You sent a message to me on 2/4/24 and you think I will come back to your business?! Hahaha no thanks read more

We used to eat here a lot when I was younger and recently, I've seen how much they hiked up the prices it's insane to me that we paid over $45 for soup one sandwich and an eggroll it used to be less than $30. I get that there's inflation but I don't think we'll be eating pho for a while. We could have gone for ramen or something else for the same price. Idk it just doesn't feel like it's worth it anymore. I feel like we are being way overcharged. Portions are smaller too. read more
