Restaurant view inside!

Mr. Pho always give great service, and beautiful inside the music is always great every time we go there. Food is so delicious hot, and fresh and great presentation.

Locates in big plaza with plenty of parking. We went during a weekday dinner, only few tables were filled. Combo pho: 4/5. includes fatty brisket, regular brisket, flank, meatball, etc. Broth is lack of the depth and aroma of an authentic Pho. Prince range is on pricier side. Overall, it was an okay experience with nothing too impressive. Food takes time to be served after ordered. If you crave for a quick bite of pho, it's still an okay option.

這家越南河粉的可能已經開了好幾年了,離我的地方這麼近,我倒是第一次走來,後來想想我一整年都很少吃越南河粉,朋友說這一家是pho ha的股東出來開的,裡面看起來是蠻清爽乾淨的,河粉的味道也不錯,剛剛上來才發現他們好像也是連鎖店呢

1.Beef Pho Combo, thai milk tea
TomTom M.

Not your typical Vietnamese atmosphere restaurant. The place is more clean, servers are American / hispanic, menu is in english. A bowl of beef pho is around $17, a thai tea is around 5. The size of the bowl is pretty big. Food is pretty decent. Service is 5 star because server is super friendly snd helpful. Place is clean so a 5 star, price is a little more expensive than a regular Vietnamese pho place so i give it a 4 star. Food wise, 4 star for the size and taste. The plaza do get busy around times especially during lunch, although the parking lot isn't small but its shared with other stores

#1 Beef Pho Combo
Christina G.

Last Sunday night, after shopping at the HomeGoods store in Walnut, we decided to try Mr. Pho California Kitchen since it's in the same plaza. And there's nothing better than having a hot bowl of Pho on a windy, chilly night. Mr. Pho definitely didn't disappoint us. The restaurant was very spacious, with high ceilings and a contemporary interior design. It was very comfortable to sit and eat inside. The menu was simple and straightforward. We ordered their highly recommended #1 Beef Pho Combo ($17), which was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect--the broth's taste and temperature, the portion size of the noodles and meat, and the quality of the meat, which was fresh. The Iced Thai Tea ($5.50) was great, with the perfect level of sweetness! The service was fast and efficient. I also noticed they offer Bone Marrow Pho, something I've never seen at other Pho restaurants, and I'll definitely visit again to try that.

Banh mi sandwich
Chrystle G.

This restaurant space at the Walnut Village has revolved into different restaurants over the years, but my husband and I really hope this one stays. It has become one of our go-to spots in Walnut. We usually go for pho and the garlic noodles, but we wanted to try the banh mi sandwich this time. It did not disappoint! The bread was toasted well, meat was tasty / juicy, and we would definitely get this again. One of the top banh mi's we have had. Service is quick. Restaurant looks clean and aesthetic.

Beef pho combo - always missing beef ball
Katie Y.

Every time that I order take out & get the beef pho combo, they always forget to add beef ball to my order. So disappointing. It has happened two times now. Please double check your togo orders.

Two adults went out to an early dinner around 5ish pm to Mr. Pho California kitchen. The Vietnamese fusion cuisine is modern, clean and simple. Service is friendly. We ordered the beef pho combo which you can choose one ice tea or soda and one spring roll or egg roll. We chose spring roll the sauce and roll are great. As for beef pho, the taste is on sweeter side but good portion for sharing. Shrimp fried rice comes with pickle cabbage which I like a lot.

1.Beef Pho Combo

The food was great! Staff was great also. I love that the broth wasn't salty. I also like that the inside of the restaurant is not so bright.. good ambience.

1.Beef Pho Combo

I'll make this review fast and simple. Atmosphere is clean and spacious. Service was a bit slow as it seems that they were missing workers or that they don't have enough servers. The food, 10/10. They gave a generous portion of meat, just the right amount of noodles, and the soup was perfectly balanced, not too salty, with a perfect flavor. I'm planning on coming back more often for lunch!

What's left of the Mr.Pho Rice Dish! Came with egg but we had it scrambled!! A little over priced. Could be 13-14 dollars.

My friend introduced me to this place last year. Ever since then, it's been one of my go-to places…read morefor lunch! No frills, delicious, and quick service. I always get 14b (rare filet mignon), and it is consistently great. Very generous portions without sacrificing quality! I just wouldn't recommend the iced coffee here. I'm vietnamese and love vietnamese coffee, but theirs is too concentrated to drink. It's very sweet and thick.. and a bit of a burnt aftertaste to me.

came in for brunch around 11am on a Tuesday after running errands in the neighborhood…read more pretty large area with many tables. picked my own table by the window. waiter dropped off the menu for me to browse through. I ordered a house special pho, egg rolls and Vietnamese hot coffee with condensed milk. I was expecting the pho comes out first as usually that's the case since the soup is ready made, pho noodle doesn't take long to cook. but the egg rolls actually came out first piping hot. I was also pleasantly surprised that I can taste some meat inside the egg rolls. Pho and coffee came about the same time. pho noodle was standard size with enough pho noodle (still too much for my taste). the beef slices do have some pink (raw) color when it was served. soup was flavorful enough. coffee was too sweet for my taste. I even asked for more coffee to dilute the sweetness but didn't help much. total bill was around $26+tips for 1 person.

The restaurant is located in the same plaza as GW Supermarket, tucked in the corner next to Dim Sum King. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving Vietnamese food.

The food tastes authentic, the quality is amazing, and everything is so rich and flavorful. You can really tell they care about the food they make. It's located on the corner to the right side of Hong Kong Plaza near Haven City Market, and honestly this restaurant really stood out to me. I already love this plaza, but this place quickly became one of my favorite spots there. One thing I really love is their pork spring rolls. They make them fresh when you order, and you can definitely taste the difference. They're so fresh, delicious, and honestly one of the best spring rolls I've had in a while. They also do catering, which I definitely plan on using in the future if I ever host a party or birthday because the food is just that good. I only had one issue during one of my visits. I can't eat cucumber, so I asked for no cucumber in both my pork dish and spring rolls. They accidentally still included it in my pork dish. Thankfully, when I brought it up, they fixed it quickly and apologized right away, which I appreciated a lot. I still love this place, but I do think it's important for people with allergies or food restrictions to double check their food before eating, just to be safe. Besides that, everything else has been amazing. The restaurant has a really calm atmosphere with lots of greenery and that open, cozy Vietnamese restaurant feel. The workers are also really kind and welcoming every time I come in. I also appreciate how authentic this place feels. Whenever I'm trying food from another culture, I always want something that feels genuine, and this place definitely gives me that experience. I come here a couple times a month now, and it's honestly one of my favorite places to eat. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the cucumber issue, but overall the food and experience are still amazing.

You can expect a bustling and vibrant ambience during this time. We got several dishes: drunken noodles, pad see ew, house fried rice, and yellow pumpkin curry. Each dish came with our choice of protein; the options without an extra cost were chicken, pork, tofu, and vegetables. Our server was friendly, and the other staff made sure we had our waters refilled. Along with great service, I enjoyed the food again. The drunken noodles were flavorful and not too spicy. Mixing the house fried rice with the yellow pumpkin curry was really delicious. You get a great blend of savory and sweet flavors. Portions are large, so we took leftovers home.

The restaurant has nice modern vibe and is inviting, service is quick and attentive. They even serve wine and beer to pair with your meal. Place is always bustling, but we usually don't have to wait long to get seated. All the dishes are fabulous and shareable. We absolutely enjoyed their papaya salad. Unlike Filipino pickled version, there's more like a salad. Dressing is perfectly balance and not too tart. I highly recommend it! Crispy Pork Belly is a great appetizer. It pairs well with the seafood sauce and cucumber salad that comes with it. Chicken satay is also tasty, really like the peanut sauce. The pad thai noodle with chicken is solid as well as Pad Wood Sen (glass noodles). I love the wide noodles they use on Pad See Ew, it helps absorb a lot of savory flavors from garlic and soy sauce. Salmon Panang is delightful and comforting; rich, creamy, slightly spicy and packed with flavor. It's served with a side of white rice. Also, Red Curry Beef is terrific, curry flavor is on point and perfect. Their special Garden Trout is very good. It's basically fried fish topped with mango herb salad which everyone loves. I thought spicy catfish was ok, bit spicy for my palette. The house fried rice and stir fried seasonal vegetables are good accompaniment to your meal. Mango Sticky Rice is so divine and perfect way to cap off your meal. Mangos are always ripe and sweet, even better with ice cream. Don't skip on this! We are always guilty of ordering a little too much but enjoy eating them next day. We can't wait to come back.

However, we were told they stop seating guests after 8:30 PM and that arriving at 8:24 was "too close" to that cutoff. This was frustrating and confusing, as we technically arrived before their stated seating deadline. We dine here frequently and have always enjoyed our experiences, which made this situation especially disappointing. Being turned away despite arriving within what appears to be the acceptable window felt misleading and uncharacteristic of the service we've come to expect. If the kitchen or staff need to stop seating earlier than what customers would reasonably expect based on closing time, that policy should be made much clearer upfront. Turning guests away who arrive within the posted window feels frustrating and disappointing.
