I ordered their sea salt Vietnamese coffee mind you, I paid $8 for a 12-oz cup . Meanwhile, 85°C Bakery sells theirs for $4.95, and Lee's Sandwiches charges $6 for a 16-oz. Lantern's prices are honestly wild. I won't be wasting my money here again, even though it was my first and most definitely last visit. The service was fine, but they definitely need more seating. read more

The food was fresh and flavorful. The bathrooms were extremely clean. It was my first time trying pho and I was pleased. read more

This is the best place to get vegan pho in all of Southern California. It's unbelievable. Everything is super flavorful, their broth is delicious. They crack some kind of pepper over the pho which I haven't seen before but adds so much to the dish. The house-made chili oil is absolutely scrumptious. It is a main highlight for me. I drive to Rancho from Los Angeles just for Lantern pho, it's truly that good. The ambiance is very nice inside and very clean, modern. The employees are all hard working and kind. I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

The pho is my favorite in the IE. The broth is amazing. The meat and portions of noodles are more than enough in a regular bowl. The garlic and chicken plate was so good, my son kept asking for more. The servers are wonderful and accommodating. The ambiance is nice. This is our families go to spot for pho. read more

Lantern Vietnamese Kitchen really shines with its personality. Beyond the comforting bowls of pho and fresh, vibrant dishes, they've built a space that feels genuinely welcoming. Their drink selection is surprisingly deep refreshing teas, creative specialty beverages, and options that pair perfectly with the food. The staff brings the whole experience together with warm, attentive service that never feels forced. And being tucked right into the beautiful city of Rancho Cucamonga gives it that extra charm, making it a spot worth returning to whenever you're craving something flavorful, relaxing, and thoughtfully made. read more

Whenever I go to a place and their bathrooms are prestine, I get so freaking happy. If this is how they keep their bathrooms, then I KNOW their kitchens are well taken care of. How are you going to put so much effort into every part of your restaurant, including the bathroom? OF COURSE IM GOING TO GIVE RECOGNITION. I feel two things mark a good vientamise restaurant -- its pho broth and a mean bahn mi... extra credit for a good mango sticky rice. Lantern aces all three. I ordered the filet mignon pho, my sister got the pork belly bahn mi. The spring rolls were nice and full, not sad and limp (that's what she said) like most places. Mango lemonade had actual mango in it and was the sweetness was jusssstttt riiiggghhhtt. Mango sticky rice had a healthy serving of mangoes and the sauce was perfect. Aesthetic on point. I can't say enough good things about this place. Well done to its owners and show runners, I hope you're all proud of the way you present yourself and the food you push out because damn. It was all good. Ordered two bahn mi's to go for the guy waiting at home. Will definitely be adding this as a regular stop when driving through. Ey! If you don't want to wait two hours at Gen, and want some good asian food, head here. I know the switch from Korean to Vietnamese may confuse your cravings but trussstt, this is worth it. Lantern sat and served us immediately, the vibe was good, service was incredible, and the food was amazing. read more

Worst customer service of any place I've been in Rancho Cucamonga show up at 8:30 PM. They close at 9 PM but denied ...told only to go orders after 8:30 pm Just a waste of my time driving over there.. why not post that so your customers know read more

We were under the weather and craving pho. It was pretty late but I was fortunate enough to find them on Yelp and they were open until 9:30PM. I went to their website, and ordering was easy peasy. We arrived at the restaurant, and from the outside, the decorations stood out. We'll have to dine in one day. My husband picked up the food and commented that the server at the front was very nice. Surprised to see the cute tote bag our food was packaged in. Food was well packed. Came home and finally dug in. The broth was super flavorful and did not require any extra hoisin. The meats were super tender and the veggies were yummy! This is now my new go-to for pho. I can't wait to explore the entire menu! read more

Party of 2 adults and 2 kids was Lantern Vietnamese kitchen. We ordered bun bo hue with pork hock, soup base is flavorful, and mild spicy. And Pho combination regular size: it is flavorful with good ingredients and garnishes for both noodle soups. And we ordered 2 spring rolls, they are slightly cold so it's premade. The waitress is friendly and acts fast on request and provides good servicess during our lunch. Ambient is uniquely Vietnamese modern. Restaurant is recently opened with just enough tables with 2 nice rest rooms. They are still adding outdoor eating area which is under construction. Portions of noodles are little bit too small in my opnion. Maybe with optional add noodle if you eat large bowls. read more

My husband and I were craving pho and were in Eastvale at the time and I searched for the Rancho area and seen all the delicious bowls of pho at Lantern Viet as well as garlic noodle pictures and drove over to experience it myself. This restaurant did not disappoint. Everything was so good and fresh. The Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were both so good. I wish there was a drive thru just for the drinks alone. My mom and I got the spicy beef soup with flank only. My new favorite. I was feeling extra hungry so I also got an order of garlic noodles with prawns and I still can't get over how good they were! I would drive far just for the garlic noodles they were so delicious and tasted very homemade. I will definitely be bringing my family back again soon. read more

The food had great flavor to it. My husband ordered the Dino bone pho and it didn't disappoint because it was flavorful. The meat was tender and the broth didn't need much flavoring addition because it was good from the get-go. I ordered the shaken beef, and that was spot on. The only thing that they could really improve upon would be to have more servers so that service could be quicker. The wait was excessive when it didn't need to be. If they had more servers, people wouldn't wait as long as they did. I would understand if there were a lot of people and you needed to wait, but there weren't a lot of people and you needed to wait just because they didn't have enough servers to attend to the customers. Also, we ordered what they featured on their menu which were the sesame balls and I was truly excited about them, but they took so darned long that we ended up canceling so that was a disappointment. Another thing that we were disappointed about were the utensils. I've had to send back twice because it was dirty and the mouth of the sauces that were sitting on the table needed to be cleaned up. You know when you pour the sauces, you need to make sure that you clean them every night so that they don't dry up from previous pouring. That's just me, I don't know about you. Just feedback on what they can do better. So from a cleanliness standpoint that is something I pointed out that they could do better. Otherwise I would order to go. But I will come back. By the way, one thing that I didn't enjoy very much was the sauce for the spring roll. That needed flavor. Otherwise everything was good flavor wise. read more

Came in for their soft opening. The place has a good location, with plenty of parking and potentially and outdoor area in the future, because there's a gated area where they could put patio tables. Plenty of parking and easily accessible. The inside decor was nice, modern, pretty, and not overdone or too plain. They had both booths and chairs which is so nice to have the different options. I got the banh canh, which was interesting. I'm Vietnamese but I can't say I've tried every Vietnamese dish and I know there's items from different regions that might be slightly different. With that said, I can say I've never had banh canh like this. It was called Vietnamese Udon, which is interesting because the noodles were literally udon noodles. In my experience Banh Canh noodles are usually softer and lighter than the traditional udon noodles, but they're definitely very similar in look and size, so I know a lot of people will call it udon because it's more commonly known, but these were literally udon noodles, which were fine. I ordered the Banh Canh just as is I didn't say anything to change or add or substitute. The dish said it came with pork hock, which mine did not. I actually don't normally like pork hock, but I just thought it was interesting they left it out. Also the optional toppings which again, I didn't say anything, but it automatically came on it. Which is also fine, I wasn't picky about it- but it said optional on the menu yet they just put it in. Could be soft opening issues which is also fine. The broth was interesting with the coconut milk, it tasted very yummy, but I can honestly say I've never had banh canh like this. Overall it was an enjoyable dinner- in terms of authenticity- I cannot speak for that because I'm pretty Americanized- but I just know I've never had banh canh like this before. I am excited to come back and try their pho and bun bo hue. If the bbh is good- I will be here every week for sure! read more

This place was better than other pho spots in the nearby area. We got the combination pho, plain pho, tofu spring rolls, and chicken wings. For drinks we tried the Ube coconut coffee and Thai tea. The broth here was pretty good. It wasn't too light, it had just the right amount of flavor especially with the meats mixed in. The wings were good and same goes with the drinks. The restaurant itself was clean and the service wasn't bad. read more

Beautiful little spot with delicious Vietnamese food! Awesome and flavorful broth for the pho, the Báhn Mi was yummy and had the perfect texture of softness and crunch! I had an Ube Coconut Coffee, the Pork Belly Báhn Mi with pate spread, and the Pho with Sizzling Filet Mignon on the side (only thing was that I thought the meat would have been thicker, so fair warning that its not). Take your Báhn Mi for a dip in the Pho! Definitely hit the spot overall! Will be back again! read more

Updated Review - Foodborne Illness, Verified Health Code Violations, and False Public Accusation by Restaurant On July 19, 2025, I visited Lantern Vietnamese Kitchen and ordered their "Egg Coffee." Within 30 minutes, I developed severe stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and numbness. I was the only person at my table who drank the egg coffee -- and the only one who got sick. I later sought urgent medical attention, and believing this was a serious food safety issue, I filed a complaint with San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services (EHS). What happened next? On July 23, 2025, an EHS inspector visited the restaurant and conducted a formal foodborne illness investigation. The official inspection report found three health code violations, including: Use of unpasteurized raw eggs in the egg coffee No consumer advisory on the menu about the raw egg risk Improper warewashing - utensils used for beverages were being washed in a handwashing sink (a serious violation) You can see the highlighted EHS report excerpt here: View Report Image These are real, confirmed public health violations, not just my opinion. Restaurant's Dishonest Response Instead of acknowledging the issue, the restaurant published a false and defamatory response, claiming I "threatened to expose them unless they paid me $5,000." This is completely untrue. The truth is, I privately contacted the restaurant and requested reasonable compensation ($4,800) for my medical expenses and time lost. I provided medical documentation, and made no threats. The restaurant also claimed they warned customers on the menu about raw eggs -- this is another lie. The EHS report explicitly states: "Observed the facility missing a consumer advisory for the egg coffee which uses raw shell eggs." That proves they did not disclose the health risk anywhere on the menu at the time I consumed the drink. Why I'm Writing This I wrote this review to: Tell the truth Warn other customers Hold businesses accountable when they serve high-risk ingredients without proper safety or disclosure This is not about revenge. It's about transparency and public health. Final Thoughts I will never return to Lantern Vietnamese Kitchen again, and I caution others -- especially if you're ordering egg-based or raw ingredient drinks. Their behavior after the incident -- denying facts, smearing a customer, and contradicting an official government report -- shows they care more about their image than your safety. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon to order to go. Specifically, i was craving a banh mi. The options are limited in the IE for asian food let alone banh mi. However, the one at lantern seemed the most promising. I arrived and was greeted. The interior is quite nice and i like the vietnamese music playing. The banh mi is pork belly and cost about $13 which is more expensive than usual banh mis but since its coming from a restaraunt, this is probably why it costs more. The banh mi had a nice soft bread. The pork belly was nice and flavorful. They amount of meat and pickles veggies were generous. Overall, a good banh mi considering the vicinity. Customer service is nice. It is located in a big plaza with a stater brothers so parking is easy. I will be back to try their others foods. read more
