    The food is okay. They were quick to make the food. The food, the ambience, and the menu is very American style. My spring rolls were fresh and tasted fine. The carrots and lettuce is not typical. I liked the peanut sauce. The Bun Bo Hue was missing spice and that is the whole point of this beef noodle soup dish ordered. The broth tasted like their pho broth. Instead of offering red cabbage, it was green cabbage which is a lower budget. The pho was not bad. The broth was on plain light tasting. The bowls are on the smaller side.

    2/21- Dine in visit - Stopped by in the evening wanted to check out this Pho spot that used to be inside Haven city (food hall). It was really great to see they branched off and opened up their own location . Their growth is amazing especially for the city of Rancho Cucamonga. Came in was warmly greeted by staff and the restaurant was quite busy which is good for their business was seated immediately. Staff was friendly and attentive with wonderful customer service. Ordered the Lantern apps combo which had crab / cream cheese won tons , fire cracker shrimp , egg rolls and pot stickers which all came out hot & ready and fresh with their sauces . Plus the combination pho Dac biet and the new Beef bone rib pho . Broth was flavorful and savory and the great thing they do offer extra noodles for free . Overall the food is great.. price is higher than other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. In conclusion, the food is good, awesome ambience and decor with quick service and decent Vietnamese food... especially if you are in rancho craving a bowl of pho. Typically, OC and LA areas have the best Vietnamese food options ... but for local this place is pretty decent . It's listed in day creek and baseline which is a heavy traffic area with other food options in the same plaza .

    I've been looking at this little Gem since it opened up! I'm so glad I finally got to eat here! Restaurant is very nice and clean inside! The service and servers are very friendly and super attentive! The food is just another level! I was torn as to which pho soup I should try. I elected for the chicken! The broth was unbelievably delicious! It came with the usual bean sprouts, basil and lime. The soup was so delicious that I can't want to try the other versions! I also ordered the firecracker shrimp that was cooked perfectly, they came with a sweet and sour sauce! I was so hungry that I forgot to take a first picture. I'm sorry about that I will get a better picture because this is now one of my top five favorite restaurants to eat at in Rancho Cucamonga! Enjoy Yelp Family! Be Nice and Patient because remember good food is usually made to order! I'm a forever customer!

    The moment you walk in, you're drawn to the lanterns and the clean green-and-white aesthetic -- even the menu design is beautifully done. The food is all about simple goodness: crispy shrimp that's totally unique, chicken wings that are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seriously addictive, garlicky noodles you can't stop eating, plus a big bowl of pho that's comforting and truly authentic. Finished with their creative ube coffee -- a modern take on Asian flavors while staying true to authentic roots, definitely a must-try in the Inland Empire. IG: socalhkfoodies

    One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Rancho Cucamonga!! (haven't been to a lot in this area but wow this place is sooo yummmzz) Everything I tried at Lantern Vietnamese Kitchen was genuinely good, but the crab fried rice stood out the most. It was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and packed with crab -- easily the highlight of the meal and something I'd come back for alone. The fresh spring rolls were light and refreshing, the crunchy chicken salad had great texture and balance, and the shaken beef was tender and well-marinated. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with no misses across the table. We ended with Vietnamese coffee, which was bold, smooth, and the perfect way to wrap up the meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe made it a comfortable spot for both casual dining and group meals. If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and looking for solid Vietnamese food with standout dishes, Lantern Vietnamese Kitchen is definitely worth a visit

    When you walk into Latern Vietnamese Kitchen, you are greeted with a nice aesthetic and calming environment (not too loud or overwhelming). Service was immediately offered, we had to wait 10 mins, but that's okay because they were quick to take our order. When looking at the cafe menu, there are many options to choose from; the iced thai tea was flavorful and not too sweet, and the iced jasmine green tea was great as well. The appetizers we ordered were the vegan eggrolls which were super good & the firecracker shrimp which were average. As for the pho, the quality of the filet mignon was amazing, much better than other places i've tried. Come check them out!!

    This place is adorable! The plain Pho is our go-to, so delicious tons of flavor, and their noodles are perfect. The service is great every time, very friendly staff! We order to-go all the time too. We will definitely be back. The Bahi mi is amazing by the way, it is a must try. Very flavorful, and crust tender meat. The bread was perfect, and their noodles sauce they put on it is delicious!

    You know when the food is so good you completely forget you love to take photos and review food? Yeah. That happened here at Lantern. Not pictured was two other lovely soups as well as garlic lobster rice my son got, which we all devoured. I promise I'm coming in and learning all the names. I don't think I've ever been so full in my entire life LOL. I ATE. And then ate more, and I felt like I was going to burst and I still took food home, and the left overs were absolutely astronomical and otherworldly. IF YOU LIKE COFFEE, YOU HAVE TO TRY THEIR VIETNAMESE COFFEE. DO IT. Mine was insane. Sorry I yelled at you. The staff here won't and was SUPER patient with me and all my questions :) VIBE CHECK: it was lit. I'll come back for restaurant pics, too. Very modern. I will definitely be back, indefinitely. All 5 of us loved the food: hubby, myself and my three kiddos ranging from 12 to 8. There was something for all of us!

    Combination Pho.
    Cindy Z.

    My friends and I found the closest pho spot off the 210 Freeway and it was a great find. I was hungover, so needed soup so badly. I ordered the Combination Pho ($15.95 for regular), which was still a pretty large bowl. There's plenty of meat and toppings, especially cilantro and green onions. The broth was savory and heartwarming, which really hit the spot. I ended up getting an extra order of the broth ($4.95) too. Overall, clean and nice spot for your Vietnamese cravings. They also have some Thai dishes to throw some fusion in the mix though.

    I really missed the old Lantern from Haven City Market. Unfortunately, everything went wrong. We waited 45 minutes and the crab fried rice was very spicy, the egg was burned for the steak plate. The short rib pho was okay. Our server was nice as she tried to accomodate us through refund one of the dish and gave us a 20% off. However, I just really wish that the old Lantern from Haven City Market would come back.

    Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Soup)
    Ashley M.

    Absolutely love this place. Service was fast, it was very clean inside and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing. My husband's step mom is Viet and the food had that authentic taste. Bun Bo hue was spicy but very good my daughter finished it all. I got the Bo Kho and loved it. Can't wait to bring the rest of the family back to try the Bánh xèo. The ube Vietnamese coffee was the best.

    banh xeo
    Kaitlyn P.

    Loved this pho place ! The bun bo hue was super flavorful and my boyfriend got the banh canh or udon soup and he loved it after adding more of their chili oil! the rangoons were really fresh and the cream cheese mix wasn't skimped on. The banh xeo was actually huge. My hand was about a third of it! Super crispy and filled with so much stuff !!!!! Place was super cute a little tiny but i would for sure wait. The service was nice but since they were busy they werent as attentive :)

    If you're in Rancho Cucamonga, Pho Ha has been serving authentic Vietnamese flavors for over 20…read moreyears and honestly, that says everything. I've been coming here for years, and it's still my go to spot every time the craving hits. You already KNOW I had to start with the lumpia egg rolls... my absolute favorite. Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer every time Today I tried the chicken vermicelli and it did NOT disappoint. The chicken was juicy (not dry at all ), and the fresh side salad paired perfectly with the fish sauce and a little hot sauce on top. So good. And of course, you can never go wrong with their beef brisket pho. The broth is rich, comforting, and always hits the spot. Great service, staff & vibes. If you haven't been yet... what are you doing?! Highly recommend you give it a try

    I honestly don't know why it took me so long to write this review because we come here almost every…read moreweek! This place has been consistently amazing every single time. Everything here is excellent--from the pork chops to the pho, all the way down to the rice and pickled veggies. Even something as simple as their plain beef broth is packed with flavor, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. Their drinks are just as good--the tea is excellent, and the limeade is super refreshing and perfectly balanced. If you're looking for a go-to pho spot with consistently great food and flavors across the board, this is definitely it!

The meat had fragrant grill flavor. The pho broth was sweet. They had a lot of drink options as well as menu entree options. The interior was nice with a lot of booth-style seats. I really liked the cool presentation of the boat for the bun dish. The host was really friendly and accommodating. I think pho was the standout dish. I liked the shreds of carrot in the fish sauce. The bad: They forgot to give the nuoc mam (fish sauce) for the rice plate. The rice in the rice plate wasn't broken rice. The fish sauce was on the vinegary side and I wish it had a deeper fish sauce flavor. The honeydew smoothie was on the sweet side. The pho broth could've been a bit saltier. The interesting: They brought the bill to our table. Usually at Vietnamese places you pay at the counter (which I think is an option too). The combo rice plate was served in two different plates which was something I've never seen before.
