    Daddy daughter time! It's been a while but god will bless me to do this more often
    Cedrick K.

    Hello everyone it's the light skin dragon with my daughter light skin dragonrita! This is our second time coming to this location. I found it a few months back and took my whole family here which included what was my Carmel kisses and my daughter. I picked this spot because of this cat robot that my daughter loved The pho was so good. I got my usual seafood and the what was Mrs Carmel got the shrimp pho and we get an extra bowl and just give our daughter some of both. Save on a bowl lol The service is quick and the food is good. The ambience is okay they can add more stuff but nothing to spectacular besides the robot. My daughter was scared at first then I motivated and encouraged her which she pulled the courage to take a picture with it. lol being a father has its moments but I enjoy it. I got out of class and so I surprised my daughter and picked her up to have daddy daughter date before my cars engine blown out on me. I'm happy to have token her here because I know I created this special memory which she will always remember! She loves pho now basically because of me hahaha Yelp check out all the foot traffic and engaging audiences I'm bringing. Please add me to yelp elite already please!

    Pho Special Large

    Pho Island is unassuming but don't let this place go under your foodie radar. This is my go-to Pho place. The broth is so good, they give a lot of extras (bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos) and the plate is huge! I like it so much that I haven't tried anything else but the pho here

    3. Spring Rolls
    Jackie M.

    The shaken beef was really tender and juicy. Not overly seasoned nor marinated. Now the pho is a hit or miss. My beef broth wasn't flavored as I'm used to. The chicken broth my niece ordered was better. Shocked me because i do not like chicken. They add a lot of noodles and beef. They do not skimp on that. The brisket was very fatty. More fat than meat. The steak was good. Very lean. Shrimp spring rolls were your average rolls. Not overly stuffed nor skimpy. I wasnt a fan of their peanut sauce. Tasted more like soy sauce than peanuts. I'll go back only because its closer to my home than my favorite pho spot. Maybe the broth would be different next time.

    Broth and eggrolls
    Anaiza M.

    Great parking and outside does no justice to the delicious food. Place AC was not on but the food made up for it! I got a Thai tea, we ordered eggrolls, and vermicelli The food was honestly soooo good. Every bite was devoured and whatever we took home ate that same night! The plates are large but I wouldn't share hehe Pork had so much flavor and melts in your mouth. They had all sauces and chili you could ask for. High key we're coming back!

    Small venue, place is nice a cozy. Staff is friendly. First time for me at this place. Unsure why I always get dirty cups waitress was kind and changed my cup. Mom enjoyed her dish. I had The chicken Pho soup. It was really good. My small bowl looked a large bowl. Prices are manageable. And the Robot to sweet.

    Oxtail noodle soup
    Rou M.

    We ordered take out from this place for our whole office and everyone loved their food. I ordered the oxtail pho and it was very tasty. It really hit the spot on a cold day. They packed all our food individually with our names and all the condiments and broth packed separately. Will definitely order more from here.

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. I come here almost weekly, and servers Daniel and May always carry the brightest smiles and provide the warmest service. 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. But just yesterday, I ordered 3 Tay Ho sets to share, and within the first few minutes of eating, we noticed they forgot all the meats and cha lua (Vietnamese pork sausage)! 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!

When they first opened, the servers were a little awkward, but I could tell they were trying, so I always gave them grace. It's obvious that they have worked on their craft and are definitely improved.

The restaurant is bright and has a unique design setting. The menu is large with a variety of food (including Thai food) making it hard to choose so my family of 4 stuck to what we like and ordered the following: 1. Pho Dac Biet (Combo/Special Pho): Hubby says the broth is ok and that the aroma of the Pho spices is light. He said there is too much noodles and not enough ingredients though the slices of various beef cuts were cooked well and the tendons eas just right, not too hard nor soft. 2. Banh Canh Do Bien (seafood udon): This is my favorite Hue dish, udon. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't made with fresh udon noodles and thick broth, but rather the noodles used were more like Japanese udon noodles. The broth has a light flavor which required me to add a little raw fish sauce and lemon but the aroma of the fried shallots smells so good with each spoon I eat. The noodles were decent and not over cooked and there were alot of seafood in the bowl compared to other bowls I've had other places. They were not skimpy on the ingredients. 3. Two Com Suong Bo Dai Han (Rice w/ Korean ribs) for my 13yo and 10yo boys: Both boys were disappointed in the plate compared to what we eat back home in San Jose. They said the ribs were marinated with good flavor but lightly flavored. There were barely any meat and mostly bones and fat. It came with pickled veggies instead of regular lettuce & cucumbers. And it comes with a side of soup as all Vietnamese rice dishes do. The service was good as we were checked in a couple times. When we requested a water refill it was filled promptly. Overall, I think their menu is too large so the quality of the food dish is not as great.

The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!
