I got the rare steak with brisket pho as well as a Thai tea with boba! (I added chili paste so that's why it looks like this haha )Everything was very very good! Very flavorful very tasty! Definitely made with love! Usually when I get pho I right away have to add salt or some kind of flavor to it because the flavor isn't quiet there but once I got my bowl from "Pho Big Bear" and took a good sip it was perfect! The broth was amazing and flavorful!!! Everything was great! They give you a generous amount of noodles too and the steak was mmm chefs kiss as well as the noodles of course! The only thing is I brought my mom and they gave us very little toppings the toppings is only enough for 1 but it's okay we just split it up lol I usually like a lot of toppings in mine but it's not the end of the world!!! But service was great and everyone was very nice and you can immediately tell everyone likes their job and gives you great customer satisfaction and service!! But the girl in the front taking orders seemed stressed out for some reason even though she just came in once we came in and she didn't seem like she wanted to be there but I mean everybody has there days soo no worries! But besides that I definitely recommend this place! 10/10 read more

It's so nice to have a pho spot in Big Bear! I personally don't like their pad thai, but everything else I regularly order (meat pho, veggie pho, spring rolls, orange chicken, pork buns) is reliably delicious every time. The staff are always very kind when I go in, even when they are crazy busy. 4 stars instead of 5 due to the location, because navigating through the resort parking lot when the resort and restaurant are busy is a pain in the backside (still worth it for the pho though!) read more

who'd have thought! pho in big bear! best part- they have a huge upstairs that is perfect for seating large parties! they served a pretty good variety of foods, we ordered the chinese style bbq pork buns, broccoli beef, cantonese style crispy noodles, traditional beef pho, combo pho- and they were all pretty good! a plus is the fun selection of drinks- fizzy lychee, sparkling white peach, asian colas... super happy this place exists! we have no photos because we wolfed it all down too fast... read more

The Big Bear fun run was just starting the lake cruise when I looked you up on YELP. Turns out to be a hidden little gem tucked into an event venue spot. I say tucked because it took us two passed and a parking lot conversation to get there. But we did! And I am a better man for the trip. I was feeling a little sub as my race car driving nephew took me on a quick tour. I needed Pho. Chicken Pho. Food for my soul. It really was magical. A light flavorful broth with thin sliced chicken breast, glass noodles and fresh vegetables including basil, mint, bean sprouts and thin sliced rounds of jalapeños. I drank water in styrofoam cups from the big yellow jug out front and sat on the patio. My driver had Pad Thai. He took half of it back to the condo for later. I ordered spring rolls and egg rolls to go. Thank you Cece for taking my orders and thank you and thank you Wally for showing us the garden I didn't get mama's name. If you guys get more signage out front, the food will sell itself. Food-5 Service- Value-5 (thanks for the thoughtful extras in the to-go order and the wonderful bag. I will be back soon read more

The cucumber salad was my favorite! Generous portion and delicious flavor. The waiter was kind and I'm very impressed with his knowledge of the Chinese language. The ambience is casual. It's little inside but it has nice outdoor seating. read more

We are visiting Big Bear for a holiday weekend from OC. This boba hit the SPOT. I got the Thai tea and mom, who can be a food critic, really enjoyed her refreshing mango smoothie with boba. Prices are super super reasonable. They are a small-family-run business and the staff were so kind. The place smelled authentic and delicious. The food was so so good. All the patrons around us also remarked how good the food was. Small inside seating but the out door patio seating is where it is at with a nice view of the resort and beautiful nature. Highly recommend. Will be back again!! P.s. they are located in the resort (public) with ample parking, but you can't see the store front from the road. read more

The owners are so awesome. Just down to earth and kind! Food is always made fresh when you order it and you can tell when you take that first bite! The combination Chow Mein and Fried Rice are our favorites. Never oily or stale, reheats easily and flavor is still as delicious as if you ate it there on the patio!! Don't forget to get a side of the Chow Mein sauce if you are getting it to go, really is helpful for keeping the flavor fresh and delicious when you reheat it!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Stingy with the meat asked for extra meat and payed extra they nearly put any plus the food lacked flavor needed more salt js tasted like mint leaf and noodles read more

Once the guy came out with the pho and said he spoke no english.. we knew it'd be good. Everything is SO flavorful, especially the pho! Orange chicken is super crunchy, bahn mi (Vietnamese sandwhich) super saucey/flavorful with a crunchy bread. Super nice outdoor seating during the summer as well. Delicious! read more

Saw the good reviews on Facebook and Yelp so decided to give it a try since we love Pho. The restaurant location was hard to find at night and parking was limited / confusing. Once you arrived you were greeted by friendly staff. The restaurant is small, 2 tables for party of 4, a bar style table for a few more seats. Interior include white walls and not much decor. Similar to fast food style where you order and pay at the register and get your own can drinks or water. They do have a good selection of various drinks on display. As for the Pho, it was salty and didn't have much meat. There wasn't much bean sprouts either for the 4 of us. My daughter found a hair in her soup. It was much too short to be hers, so very gross. read more

Love this place. The Pho is very good, the orange chicken is GREAT, and the noodles are good as well. Service is always very friendly and food comes out pretty quickly. Very basic interior but there is also a really nice outdoor area to eat. read more

My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised with how good this spot was. I think the reviews were very misleading about the food. The pho tasted amazing and so did the veggie dumplings. We also got a cute little bag for our take out. The service was great, very attentive and friendly!! Their drink selection is also amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting something warm and filling :) read more

Ordering our food was easy. The girl taking our order was nice. We sat down and waited for our food. It came out and was given to another table that just sat down. Then we got our food. While eating we were given a Togo order that wasn't ours 3x. We kept telling them it wasn't ours only for it to be taken back and given to us again and again. And then our actual togo order we were waiting for wasn't coming to us. The manager or owner was yelling at the girls for getting several orders wrong which I don't blame her but she didn't make anything better but trying to help correct the orders. The food wasn't as expected. Crispy noodles tasted old. Pho meats weren't the typical ones you'd find in the usual pho. They said you get a lot of meat when you don't. Pad Thai is not really pad thai and was drenched in sauce. I know you can't get authentic Asian food in big bear but I definitely don't recommend. read more

No! My friends and I were desperate for soup or something hot to eat. We were so excited when we saw Pho! To our disappointment, it was no wear the authentic Vietnamese Pho. As for the restaurant itself, it's small. At least where we were. Supposedly there's dining upstairs. The gentleman, who I believe manages the restaurant, was pottery nice and hospitable. That's the only positive thing we can say. So no, we do not recommend this spot. read more

The food is always great, super friendly and great atmosphere. Best pho/orange chicken/egg rolls/spring rolls in Big Bear!

I don't write reviews often but I had to about this place! It's inside the bear creek resort which had I not read in a review I'm not sure I would have ever found it haha. The staff are incredible, genuinely so friendly and accommodating and the food is so bomb! I can't wait to come back when it's colder after a long ski day and get this pho, it's genuinely so flavorful and they do not skimp out on the portions at all!! 10/10! read more

We came in around 5pm Wednesday to beat the dinner crowd. It's nice that there's upstairs seating because it's really cold outside and limited seating indoors downstairs. We ordered the combination pho and the crispy noodle combo with gravy. The pho wasn't hot and the soup was bland, we were pretty disappointed that it wasn't the soup that warmed our cold night. I'd say the crispy noodle dish was a lot better, or maybe it seems like fried noodles and fried rice dishes seem to do better here. They do get hit hard with online deliveries, it took us like 15 mins to get our food for dine in. read more

Absolutely loved it. We came for the pho, and it did not disappoint. This meal was especially meaningful--I had just completed a 21k Spartan Race, so getting quality nutrition was crucial, and I found exactly what I needed here. Their 24-hour broth and use of real herbs make all the difference. Thank you for the nourishing, delicious food! read more

Absolutely terrible! I ordered the combo chow mien, took a couple of bites and actually gagged because the taste was awful....this food was inedible. I also ordered the egg rolls which were greasy not crunchy and was mush inside. Apparently, they have had a name change to Taste of Asia so I'm wondering if there are new owners. The reviews from the last 6 months all seem to be negative. I don't recommend this place and I will not eat there again. read more

My spouse and I took a chance on trying this place as I was craving a comforting meal and this place did not disappoint! The environment is very cozy and authentic , felt like I was eating in someone's kitchen /home which for my personal taste makes the experience more enjoyable. They had convenient bathrooms outside and were pretty clean. The server was very friendly and the time we visited was during a rush hour and he gave us nothing less than great service ! The pricing was reasonable considering there's no other place that serves pho in this small town, however if there was another location I would still come back here . The pho had good flavor and the amount served was very filling . They also serve alcohol and have water available as self service which is nice considering this is a two story building so we can serve our self anytime . The environment was warm and comforting and our service was pretty fast ! When I asked the server for extra condiments they did not hesitate although they were the only one servicing and we were on the second floor . Very happy we took a chance on this place and would make this a go to place when we visit time and time again ! read more

The restaurant is a little hard to find. Its in the Bear Creek Resort. I ordered Spring Rolls and my husband ordered Pho with Chicken. The food was good. The reason for 2-3 stars: The young man who took our order was nice but the owner was not. She passed us several times working on the internet etc but never even acknowledged us. The atmosphere was incomfortable. We won't return read more

The pho is so flavorful my family and I came here twice already. Definitely come again, good services and friendly owner. read more

Some of the best flavored broth I've ever tried. Hands down. The spring rolls were disappointing and poorly wrapped but the caliber of this pho makes up for that. read more

When I saw 4 stars I thought--- great! All I wanted was clean simple veggies with noodles due to tummy issues. I ordered simple Veggie Pad Thai ... I just picked it up and it's awful; it's soggy in a sweet and sour sauce??? It weighed a pound of noodles. The veggies are overcooked (4 small broccoli and 3 pieces of carrot, barely cabbage and 2 small pieces of tofu) as well as the rice noodles that were clumped together. I've never not eaten food I've purchased. It's not like any Thai food that I've ever eaten. It's a bastardized version of Pad Thai. Sadly I had to write this. I called and they're willing to refund me, so willing to make it right. The outside patio is charming. Guess I should have tried Pho! read more

Ordered take-out fried rice. The young man taking my order was very polite and walked my food out to my car when it was ready. Fried rice was really good. Even for non Big Bear standards. Rice was evenly cooked (not too hard or soft). It wasn't was not too salty or oily. read more

Such a gem of a find in big bear. Only pho spot in the mountains, and it does not disappoint. Authentic tasting Vietnamese pho, really nice open location and outdoor seating, and dog friendly! Service was top notch, fast and friendly service from mom and daughter. It's not hard to find, off big bear blvd, prior reviews are so wrong. Hits the spot when u want a soothing bowl of pho during the cold times.. Highly recommended, thank you ladies! read more

Me and my boyfriend both have agreed that this is By far the best pho we've had , in each bite you can taste all the flavors!! I would most definitely drive from Victorville just to come have a bowl! The workers are nice, welcoming, and the service is the best! This is for sure my new pho spot !! Once you drive into the location follow the Path past the gazebo and you will see the building with blue and red lights! This place is worth the hunt! read more

I really wanted this place to do well, but it's hit or miss. U fortunately, today was a miss. We ordered a pho w/rare steak & an extra order of steak. The broth was lackluster & the meat was fatty . We also ordered fried egg rolls - most Thai places give you lettuce to wrap them, but they came by themselves on the plate. Taste was ok. The Pad Thai was too sweet and the noodles over-cooked. The boba teas are really good here, but wanted the food to be good too. We also ordered potstickers, which were fine. read more
