The roasted chicken and rice is a must have here. I would even recommend it over the pho. I am not sure what hey put in the soy sauce container that comes with it, but it is addictive. The pho itself was okay. I would order it again, but the meat was kind of chewy. I had the pho dac biet. Then broth was good, but the noodles had a chalky like texture. Overall, would def come back for the chicken. Plenty of parking, lots of tables inside, accepts visa/MasterCard. read more

Good pho, great prices. Quick and friendly staff and service. I have been looking for a decent Pho spot since Grand Pho closed. I have eaten here a few times and the food has been consistent. read more

We tried this place out of the blue visiting LA. The spring rolls were ok, no basil or mint. The peanut sauce is also a bit blend. They were able to sub out meat for tofu for me tho. While their spring roll fall short, they really delivered with their pho noodle soup. Great depth of flavor, noodles not over cooked, and they brought it out super hot. All important for pho noodle soup. If we go back, I'd stick with the pho and skip the appetizers. The physical location itself is clean, and they had an "A" label from the health department posted. Pretty big place too, and they brought out the food pretty fast. read more

Food: 13. Pho Island Special: Wife seemed to like it. I can't really comment on it as I didn't eat it. But as I keep returning for her, I believe it's pretty good. 53. Charbroiled Pork with egg. Taste is consistent with other places but didn't stand out. Still, it satisfied. Price: About average for the food. Parking: Plenty. All the time. Huge lot. Service: Quick. Efficient. read more

Pho Island - Pho and a happy wife - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

This place is such a hidden gem ! I Most Vietnamese restaurants don't give you the option of making your own dish. They had an option of choosing 1-2 topping and another for 3 toppings. I chose Charbroiled Beef and pork with rice vermicelli and it was delicious!! I also got their pork spring roll and I love their peanut dipping sauce. Seriously great flavor and it'll fill you up! Highly recommend! This place is located in a big plaza, so parking is abundant! read more

Pho Island - Pork & Charbroiled beef with rice vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

Food was amazing, but the service was horrible. The worst service I ever dealt with. And after I paid, the waiter pushed for me to tip as if it was mandatory. I ended up ordering something after to go, and they did not give me my food until I tipped. Horrible. The food wasn't worth the service. Definitely a order out type of place. read more

I hope more people have good experiences and put good reviews to keep this place open. Food is always amazing here! It's also my to go to when I'm not feeling well. Services are quick and easy. I love the decor too. It's simple and decor pays homage to natural country beauty! It's always clean and doesn't smell like other places. read more

When you first walk in to this restaurant. The manager was very sweet. She how can I help me? Where would you like to sit, She give us the menu look over it & we order: (1) Order: (6) pieces of egg-roll with homemade fish sauce + chilies + vegetables to eat with the egg rolls (2) order: Bun with grilled shrimp & egg roll. It comes with vegetables and dipping sauce Drinks: Ice glass water Taro smoothie (very delicious) read more

The food is amazing. I been coming here for years but honestly they need to start looking for new employees because the ones they have are so rude. They take long to take the orders. It's very disappointing that this restaurant has amazing food but the service is so bad. read more

Amazing food, good quick and easy. There soups are amazing and service is excellent .

I usually love the food here but the shitty service overshadows that. I called around 8 PM to order a phone to go, I asked for a large and the lady started yelling and saying they only have 1 size. That's news to me Bc whenever I visit they ask me what size I want. Then she mumbles something and hangs up on me while I'm trying to confirm my order. I called Back and no answer. That's super rude I'll take my Business elsewhere. read more

We had the worst service tonight left without even eating, we have been coming here for 5 years and will never be back. Our 18 month son knocked over a cup of water at our table. Not a full glass, like 6oz maybe and some ice. I asked the guy waiting tables if he could bring a rag and I could wipe it up.... Gave me the sassiest pissed off look like I just spit in his face. He proceeds to wave us over to another table and says "just go over there"... he's at the table huffing and puffing cleaning up the water with paper napkins and kept looking over at us. Comes back to the table and says "keep the baby away from the cups".... Naw. He is a baby... it was a small amount of water... accidents happen. I have worked in food and worked with kids in the past it really wasn't that big of a deal. If you're that miserable of a person to outright make a family feel so uncomfortable you should probably find a different job.... Maybe one that doesn't involve interacting with the public. We got up and started to walk out right as they were bringing out our appetizer, told them we weren't eating there anymore as we felt so unwelcome. The other girl has yet another major attitude about it and is trying to force me to pay for this plate we haven't even touched. Absolutely disgraceful attitudes from all of them, sucks we enjoyed the food here but I will not support this business any longer. There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants close by that treat their customers right. read more

I owe Pho Island a five star review and great thanks for being the best Pho spot in the area. Although the location is within a pretty run down strip mall, it does not impact the quality of food and customer service at Pho Island. We enjoy the rare steak Pho the most, but the sandwiches and egg rolls are great too. If you run out of soup, they will provide more for free. The owner and the staff are also very efficient. I have yet to wait too long for our food; especially during the busy lunch period. Pho Island also has Thai style tea with boba, which is excellent. Every time we have eating at Pho Island, our server has been Kevin along with a small group of other team servers. Kevin is super cool and checks on us regularly. They have always provided us with great service. Pho Island is definitely our "go to" Pho spot, especially for lunch. read more

terrible service no greeting upon arrival, i didn't know you had to seat yourself until i asked the waitress. it took about 10 minutes to take my order when another customer that got there after me got their order taken before me. my daughter wanted a strawberry smoothie with her food and we never received it until we were paying. i told the cashier i didn't want it anymore and she forced me to pay for it because "they were making it already" very disappointed in this place i used to come all the time and the service went down terribly. read more

The pho is amazing. I get the flank steak. Love that I found a great spot close to home.

Poor Management‼ And poor hygiene from server‼ My spouse and I went in for Pho noodle soup. As we arrived the host gave us this horrible look and didn't even greet us! He seated us to a dirty table . I was not going to sit there, so I walked to another booth. He seemed very upset , by his looks. I said it's dirty, of course I was ignored. Other than bad attitude, the food was good. read more

Very delicious pho the taste was very good and soothing specially in the cold weather. read more

Pho Island - Very delicious pho. I got the #14 beef pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

The best place for Vietnamese food in the IE. We come at least biweekly for their Bone Marrow soup, Spring rolls and Pho. Their selection of drinks and Thai tea are also really really good. Their bone marrow soup is BIG and reasonably priced for all that you get. We always have left overs. Their fried rice tastes really unique too it's so good, not too oily and packed with veggies and protein of choice. I always recommend this place to my friends who are coming down to this area. Employees are also so nice and kind every time we visit. read more

Came here for dinner but staff was rude in particular a tiny lady with a pink hair clip was rude and didn't have great hospitality. She was unclear about menu descriptions which made it difficult to order and when the order was wrong she came back as confrontational and hesitant to fix it, almost yelling at us. I ordered a boba with my meal but didn't get it at all and she still tried to charge me for it even after I no longer wanted it and was not trying to pay for something I didn't receive. She lied about not being able to take it off the system but eventually fixed it once we asked for a manager. Overall customer service was not good at all and the pho broth isn't fresh, the bubbles implied it was old and made me sick that night. read more

There aren't many Pho places around me so I have to admit that this place is one of the best! It's close by and they always have the quickest service! My family has been going here for ages and we are friends with the owners and they have always been the kindest souls! The food is DELICIOUS! Everything on their menu is great! I always get chicken and rice or some sort of pho!! The spring rolls and tofu are great as well! The restaurant is in a pretty deserted lot but that means there is plenty of space for parking! Definitely give this place a try!! read more

I love the food but the drinks were eh. Ambience and the servers were nice especially the cute robot server. The broth was really tasty. I was just misled with the drinks thought it would have been bigger based on the photo. read more

Pho Island - House Special - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

Sorry but this place lost its touch, I don't mind paying money for a good bowl of pho. We came last Sunday ordered the beef ball pho, this time around the broth was so oily I couldn't even finish my soup. And don't get me started on the meatballs =\ it wasn't the same (maybe they changed ownership) They down size their cups and charge for more. Fresh squeezed OJ and 2 Thai teas came to $16.00 + $12.00 mediocre pho and tax...that's $30 I'll never see again. I'll be making the extra drive and go to the other pho island location. read more

Last time I come here. Creepy servers. Can you guys remind your male waiters aka the young skinny Asian boy with short dark hair to please mind his eyes. The WHOLE TIME from ordering to paying to receiving my dishes this boy kept staring at my chest mind you I WAS NOT WEARING ANYTHING INAPPROPRIATE or have cleavage like that. It was so obvious I thought I had chili on my chest even looked to down to see , the third time he just keeps staring I'm just like ? Ok you clearly handing me my food staring down at my chest when I'm looking at ur face saying thank you or asking you for napkins it's crazy bc not once did he look at my face . ITS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. It's creepy especially when ur wearing a female t shirt . Men think we are stupid and can't see their faces? read more

1st impression - extensive menu items & drinks. I ordered pork & shrimp paste vermicelli. It came in a big bowl, filled & heaped with a VERY generous amount of meat, cucumber, lettuce & bean sprouts & a small side soup. I ate so much and there was so much left, enough to enjoy at home for another big meal. My spouse had the beef stew with french bread. He raved about the taste. I saw they had opened months ago but never went in to try it out because I had my fav for the past 20+ yrs until recently they have gotten stingy with amount & quality of foods. Am I glad I finally did come to try Pho Island. It is superb! Now this is my top fav Vietnamese restaurant!!!! read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon when the weather was cool enough to make me crave a bowl of pho. They did not disappoint--the broth was velvety smooth and tasted delicious. The only drawback is that they give you a lot of noodles, which made the noodle-to-broth ratio a bit off. read more

Food came out warm. (I got the combo pho) I wish I showed the beef during my meal because I stirred it in my pho to cook it and it wouldn't cook. I would've said something but they never came to check up on us. The service was so terrible. Waiter was rude, I asked if they had a baby changing station for my daughter (to which she blankly stared at me) and said no. In the state of California, restaurants are legally supposed to have baby changing stations. (State Law AB-1127 requires that there should be baby changing stations in at least one women's room, and one men's room with a room minimum of 60, this place has a capacity of 84.) She asked if we were ready to order three times in a time frame of ten minutes and tapped her pen on the table with lack of patience. I used to love this place but not too sure what happened. read more

Pho Island - Large beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

Hubs and I used to frequent this place last winter when pho cravings would strike. I'm not a fan of pho but used to really like their bbq pork and shrimp springrolls (that's 1 star for each item we liked). Hubs called in our order for takeout. Arrived, and the food was bagged and ready to go (add 1 star for promptness). This restaurant loses a star because I asked for extra limes/beansprout/licorice and additional packetd of hoisin sauce. Was charged ~$2 more for said items after a total of $37 was already given to me. Paid for the additional fee - no tip given because condiments shouldn't be charged more. Do Mexican restaurants charge extra if you want salsa for the chips?? Then before I left, I remembered that Hubs wanted extra hoisin sauce. Cashier told me there was enough in the bag, I asked for more and he said there's plenty. Excuse me?? I asked for additional, and paid for it, right? I was dismissed, and it was rude. On the hunt for a new local pho restaurant. This place clearly doesn't appreciate the frequent patronage. read more

I came in today, Christmas Eve around 3:30pm-4pm. The food was good but the service wasn't. I was greeted when I walked in as a party of 1 but after I got my food, I was completely ignored. I watched them go to a table of 4 three times to ask if they needed more water, a man that sat alone twice that was near the door to check on him and swept the table near me without saying a word and they didn't check on me at all. I sat for a while to see if they'd come to me but they didn't. I had to go ask them for a container and my check and the lady in a hat with a ponytail rudely said my amount and huffed when I was grabbing my cash and change from my purse. I tip extremely well when I eat out but I didn't even leave a tip for this place because of how poorly the customer service was. Every table should be treated the same. I hate to say idk if it's because I was the only black person in there but I was not treated like the other tables were and Just because it's one person dining, doesn't mean they won't tip even better than a party of 5 ‍ read more

My top place for Pho! It tastes really good, no doubt. But I would like for them to have bigger options in size when ordering for pick up. They only have 1 size option (L) which I would prefer if they had 2, L and XL. But other than that. It tastes good and when you eat at the restaurant, their L size, it's pretty big!! read more

This place was a hidden gem. The inside was big enough to host parties as well as feeling like enough to chit chat. The parking situation was a little weird, even though there's a parking lot. Hard to explain. There is no outside seating. The food was awesome and the eggs rolls were elite. The service was very manageable, even though I ordered online. read more

Pho Island - This is the pho island special and shaken beef with extra meat and 4 rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Chino, California

My fiancé brought me the night before for some spring rolls before going to fair, he tried the beef and really enjoyed it so we came back today. The service yesterday was great ! I don't remember what he looked like but he was very polite and greeted us when we walked in. Today we walked in and there was a guy with blonde hair covered with tattoos. We sat our selfs, the guy brought waters to our table, he just stared and didn't say anything to us which we thought was funny. We ordered our beef sandwiches and they were bomb ! I also ordered OJ and Tea. Service wasn't horrible but definitely can be improved! We will be back for the food! But won't dine in It was also very clean inside read more

The vermicelli was really good! Loved it! I think the location of the restaurant is not good otherwise they would prosper more. I may be returning sometime. read more

I love this place so much! I have tried many other pho restaurants in the area, which can't be compared to Pho Island. The broth here is naturally rich in flavor, and I tasted from little to no MSG. That's almost nearly an impossible feat. The portion size is very generous no matter which size you choose and definitely worth the price. Besides their Pho, their egg rolls are also worth a try; crunchy and fresh with complimentary vegetables. However, they do need to work on their fish sauce mix a bit. It lacks in sugar and lime. read more

Probably the best pho in the Ontario area. The pho sizes are huge! As well as the msg (haha).. I got the egg rolls, the #1 pho and the vermicelli with grilled beef and all was good. I wish the egg roll has more meat inside and that they provided more lettuce to go with it but I get it... times are hard. The vermicelli with grilled beef is okay.. i had better. their fish sauce is just not as pungent or flavorful as other places so a little watery and disappointing... So no wonder they are super generous with it. Haha.. Anyways, if I ever crave viet during my visit to my parent's, I will definitely come back. read more

Solid eat! I had the beef and broccoli. The beef was tender and savory. The broccoli was just regular broccoli. Nothing wowed me but I was more than satisfied with my food. The sauce with the beef and broccoli was very yummy and was the highlight. There chili sauce was chef's kiss. The portions were on the bigger size. The food is worth the price. Would come back in for their food. read more
