    I have been resisting Pho for awhile and finally decided to give it a shot. I'm glad that I did it was really good. Quick and easy service and fresh food. We had: 83 Combo Stir Fry w/Mixed Vegetables 28 Combo Pho with a beef rib. A strawberry lemonade and a hot tea. The food was delicious and the serving was large! We had a good time before our Costco run!

    Really good Pho and plentiful. Looks like a new establishment, but very busy for a late afternoon. I ordered the combination pho and hubby orders stir the chicken stir fry with rice. Both were a hit! The stir fry had plenty of large vegetables with a nice gravy. I ordered a rib to go with my pho. It was a little tough for my liking. I love that it's in the same shopping center as Costco, so if you hungry, just stop over and get a bite to eat.

    Decided to try this place for a Saturday dinner and I think they changed ownership. We walked in and greeted nicely, and sat down to see the menu. They have pretty great selections and the service was nice and attentive. The pho broth was hot as I like it and not too salty. We ordered small size meatball pho and it's pretty big. Both of my daughters shared it and they couldn't finish it. The garlic butter tofu is also a nice sharing appetizer, very different than regular fried tofu and definitely can't stop eating it. Definitely way better than the previous owner.

    Grilled chicken pho, the chicken is in there I promise!  So good.

    Was invited to try this spot with some friends. We got there a little late but they still let us order and dine in which was nice. I ordered the grilled chicken pho and we got some egg rolls. The chicken pho was delicious! The egg rolls not so much but it could of been that we got the end of the day batch. I get it. I will definitely come again, this was my favorite pho place so far. Place was clean and spacious.

    Fried egg rolls

    First time trying this pho place. Good impression. Fast service - it is a large restaurant. Don't have to wait and got a table right away. Good food - fresh ingredients and good flavor. Nothing special ambiance. Just like many pho places !

    We had a large party so we were willing to wait in case they didn't have a table, but luckily they had a longer table and accommodated my party of 7 right away. The food options from The menu were a lot but everyone was able to pick something. The taste of the broken rice dishes was delish and the meat was soft. Overall it was a good pho option

    Green Thai Tea

    We dropped by as a party of 5 at 5:30 and were seated promptly! We had the eggrolls as the appetizer but it was honestly a little disappointing; they were not crispy. The portions they gave were hefty and filling, we ordered the beef rib pho, grilled pork vermicelli, and grilled beef and shrimp paste vermicelli. We had leftovers and left sufficiently full. Flavor wise I rate everything about a 3-- the green Thai tea had a very floral aftertaste that was overwhelmingly perfume-y and artificial, and I asked to switch to normal Thai tea because it was undrinkable. The entrees weren't particularly outstanding, just alright. Their service in switching the drink ultimately bumped my review up to 4 stars; for something more authentic or flavorful I would make the drive to OC or El Monte instead.

    Appetizer platter

    It was my first time here, so I wanted to try the appetizer platter (even though I knew that I would have lots of leftovers)! I also ordered a "small" mixed seafood bowl of Pho. It was huge! I was only able to eat about half of it and only a couple of items off of the appetizer tray. The leftovers will make at least 2-3 more meals! Nice ambience too! I would definitely recommend this place!

    We've been going to the Pho Island in Ontario for years and was very pleased to know they opened a second location in Chino Hills. Always hits the spot. Broth is always hot and delicious and most importantly our kids love it! Their food is good and the service is great.

    Authentic Viet food in the area, good price, quality as well! Very huge inside, food is served using a robot. Service is great!

    This pho place is 9/10. We enjoyed the flavorful broth and amount of meat. They have a lot of pho options but I really like that you can build your own pho option. The vermicelli with grilled pork was good but the fried shrimp paste was a bit overcooked and tough to eat. Beef fried rice was delicious and a great portion. Loved the spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. Dining room looks clean and loved all the photos of Vietnam. This is definitely going to be on rotation.

I just found out a few days ago that January 31 would be their last day in business, and I was truly heartbroken.

It felt bittersweet sharing one final meal together in a place that holds so many memories.

This place will be deeply missed, and I truly hope that one day Tay Ho will return to Chino Hills again.

The food is usually on point, and I especially love their Tay Ho sets.

I was really disappointed since banh cuon just isn't the same without it. I still love this place, but they really need to double check their orders before marking them complete. Total bummer this time. Hoping it was just a one-off mistake!

For our main dishes, we ordered the charbroiled pork and the ribeye stir-fry noodles. Both were excellent!

The broth temp was barely warm enough otherwise it would be 9/10. Spring rolls 6.5/10 It's a larger roll, so that's not a negative, but there is a significant amount of vermicelli noodles inside. Not too proportionate. The sauce is a little on the salty side, rather than flavor. Here are the negatives to why this review is 3 stars, should probably be a 2 star but the food was good. Young lady working was sick. She was clearing her throat audibly throughout my visit. Had an audible cough and sniffles during contact. She was handling the food, register, and orders. Please bang out sick if you don't feel well. The veggie plate for the pho was non existent. I had to ask for it. And when I did, she asked what parts of it I wanted. Not sure if that was normal or not here. Not the vibe I assume the owner wants to convey. They didn't bring me a spoon. But then I realized the utensils are at the table. Which made me realize there were no more spoons at my table container. Which led me to see the base of the spoon holder. See photo attached. Not horrible but definitely not clean. The male worker who sat me was chill and nonchalant, just like the young lady. They both weren't mean or rude in anyway. But they definitely weren't attentive or paying attention. The nonchalant chill vibes are only justified when you're too good at your job, where nothing gets past you. Dear owner, this is not a reach. Please review cameras if necessary. Your food is great. Especially for minimal competition in the area. I would actually come back with family and friends. I just must tell the truth and be critical as I am with all other restaurants. The family that came in after me, they also had to ask multiple times for the things they requested. Pros: food is good and worth it. Cons: service, utensil container, sick employee

The same waitress we've dealt with in the past continues to be extremely rude. She has gotten our order wrong before and tends to argue instead of resolving issues. There also seems to be a communication barrier, which wouldn't be a problem if there was at least some effort to be patient or respectful but there isn't. Tonight really crossed the line. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, which is still reasonable time to dine in. The waitress made direct eye contact with me when we walked in, yet never greeted us or acknowledged us. A man came in after us and was immediately welcomed and told to take a seat. Meanwhile, my son and I stood there waiting with no direction. Eventually, I had to ask where we could sit. The man at the register mentioned they close at 9 PM and asked if we wanted to dine in or do takeout. Since we still had time, we chose to eat there. We sat down and again, nothing. The waitress walked past us multiple times, even bringing condiments and service to the man who came in after us, completely ignoring us. At around 8:45 PM, she finally approached us. As I began placing my order, she cut me off to ask "for here or takeout," then suddenly changed it to "actually, you can only do takeout." This was confusing and frustrating, especially since the other customer was clearly still being served for dine-in. I went to the register to place and pay for my order, and I asked her why the same rule didn't apply to the man behind us. She said he was dining in. That didn't make sense, considering we arrived first. The situation turned into her arguing with me claiming she didn't see us earlier and even disputing who brought us water. On top of everything, I was left feeling severely embarrassed in front of other customers, especially with my child there to witness it. No parent should have to experience that kind of treatment while simply trying to have a meal. By 9 PM, the man who came after us was already being served his food while we were denied the same service. This experience felt not only disrespectful but also discriminatory. It's disappointing because I've tried to support this place multiple times, but the consistent poor treatment and lack of professionalism make it impossible to return. I won't be coming back.
