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

    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.

    Bun Bo Hue,with toppings, which I had to take out of the container, and is overflowing in my bowl.

    They have so many options, and I want to try something new each time but always come back to their regular combination pho. The portions are massive, and I crave it on a monthly basis, especially during the colder days. Omg, today I finally tried their bun bo hue. I wanted to marry this bun bo hue. It is so deeply flavorful, comforting and there is a whole pork bone in there! Service is always friendly and patient. Don't believe the Google Maps reviews on their service. Whenever I step into this restaurant, it's so welcoming and reminds me of our travels in Vietnam. The place is spacious and very clean. They even have one of those robots bringing your food to your table- so high tech! I would recommend bringing your family here for a hearty and tasty meal or dining solo! I drank every last drop of the soup, and it will for sure be one of my hyper-fixation meals.

    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

    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.

    These were all the bones from my oxtail pho. They gave me the smallest pieces ever. They were tough too.

    Probably the worst oxtail pho I've had. Meat was tough and not good. They gave me the tiniest little pieces (photo shown of the weak little bones). Gave an extra star just because they had an adorable little girl serve me my water lol. The worst of it was I saw the bones from another guy's table from his oxtail pho, and his bones were giant!

    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.

    #65 grilled pork and bean curd bun
    Rainbow C.

    Solid food for a decent price! Food: - grilled pork and bean curd bun: large portion, well seasoned and grilled pork, with a side of broth! - pho: good portion, good price, delicious broth! Ambiance: Clean and spacious, great natural lighting Will be back!

    Thai tea, green Thai tea, and tropical fusion
    Ryan R.

    This is the only pho place worth going to in chino! The filet mignon pho is amazing my wife gets the back rib the broth, the noodles, even down to the lemons are always on point. They have cool AI bots that drop off the food, but the customer service is great as well from the door you're getting greeted. My drinks are never empty and the place as well up kept with a good vibe. The drinks are really good as well. Definitely try the tropical fusion

    Pho - customize your own
    Angela L.

    Food is delicious, service is really fast, employees are very attentive. The portion sizes are decent and there's plenty of meat in the pho. The restaurant is clean and the menu has plenty of options. There's shared parking and clean bathrooms in the back. Instead of limes, they provide lemons.

    Great place for authentic Vietnamese food. Place is very big, good for big group gatherings. All the dishes were delicious and comes in big portions. You will leave with full stomach and lots of leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive.

    Bun Bo Hue (I picked at it before taking this pic, presentation is nicer.)
    Emeline L.

    Pretty average. Prices are a bit steeper than others. Service was standard. Slow night so they're quick to take orders and the food came out fast. I ordered Bun Bo Hue and it was good but I've had better. It only comes in a large size and had a good amount of meats in it. Unfortunately the noodles were waaaay too soft. If they soak it for a little less time there would be a better bite for the noodles. My bf ordered a regular pho with beef and he liked his dish.

    First of all, this place was absolutely amazing in many aspects. The food was absolutely delicious…read more I got the signature beef noodle soup. The noodles were nice and chewy and the broth was flavorful. The dish was very aromatic, made me want to dive in. Second, the service was outstanding. I was in a party of 23, and Hayden was able to accommodate all of our needs. Our group had so many requests: asked for water, extra napkins, another table, and he was able to answer all of our questions. The place overall was very clean as well. The dining room had a modern look, spacious, and minimalist. Overall, fantastic lunch with great service. I would come back here again if I was in the area.

I asked a staff member if the was AC on, and they told us that the unit had been broken for a few weeks now (Landlord battling with Tenant on HVAC repair) and this is the best they can do. The thermostat read 85 degrees for the dining room, and I'm assuming it was close to 90 in the kitchen. I feel terrible for the employees who have to work in this environment. Apparently they had to close down 3x last week due to the extreme temperatures. It would have been helpful if Noodle St set our expectations on the non working HVAC system before we sat down and started dining. We wanted to leave but we were struggling to finishing our food. Food was good, but the heat of the dining room ruined it for the 6 of us. Staff checked in on us a few times to see if everything was okay, but we were lying through our teeth. This review is in hopes the business manager provides some sort of relief, temporary AC, fan, or open door dining, because it was extremely unpleasant. Thank you to the staff for their honestly and genuine concern.

They have an efficient system where you receive your food immediately after ordering, which made the experience quick and convenient.

Of the locations I've been to, this one is by far the least aesthetically pleasing. The other locations, especially the one on Sawtelle, are beautiful and have a nice theme to them. The interior of this one is very strange, it is just a bunch of tables (which are too close to each other) and a mural on one of the walls. The other locations have more wood features/finishes, softer lighting (compared to the harsher lighting here) , and just overall nicer. But ambiance aside, this location is pretty much the same consistent high-quality that I've experienced at other Marugame Udon locations. I think pretty much everything on the menu sounds good, so whatever looks good to you, you should try. I personally love the curry udon. The tempura is great, and I enjoy the pumpkin one the best; however, the last time I went, they didn't allow you to pick the tempura in the cafeteria style line, which is a big part of the experience! We had to order the tempura at the register. They made it to order, which meant it was fresh, but by the time the tempura comes out, I was pretty much already done with the udon, so I can't enjoy the food together. Not sure if that was a one time thing, but if it is a permanent thing, that takes away from the fun and unique cafeteria style experience and makes this just like any other restaurant. But overall, this location is just good. There are a lot of other good restaurants in the Rolling Ridge plaza, but I would go here if I'm in the mood.
