    Disgusting charred bbq pork meat served with vermicelli

    After a long drive back from Yosemite, our family of 6 decided to give this place a try! Knowing we've been very spoiled with Pho from San Jose! This isn't at all what we're expecting! It is by far below mediocre quality! Service could definitely improve, considering they auto added 20% service charge to our bill, but we don't have service! From the start, we walked in around 3:15 pm, we were the only in house customers at that time! The server brought out two jugs of water and some cups, and just left it on the table without even looking at us twice! He went and sat back to watch his TV (that was rude to be honest) We didn't go complicated with ordering, just basic pho, appetizers (spring rolls 2 stars- the roll is very loose, no extra veggies of anything) C'mon- it's the gosh darn summertime, Vietnamese Spring rolls elsewhere would have been packed with other veggies. Calamari- ok (sautéed garlic was decent, it's a bit salty for my taste! But the calamari texture is very chewy! Pho is ok- broth is on the sweet side, which isn't my preference. So, now you're wondering if everything seems OK, then why give them 1 star! Please take a look at my photo! That's how my bbq meat came out! I've never had a bad bun thịt nướng! This is by far takes the cake! We will not come back, thanks but no thanks

    This is not what I order!!!

    I just left! The server got my order wrong twice I asked for a kid rib eye twice and he still gave me a kids chicken! This means they don't care to repeat the order and are ok with not making their customers happy!! And this is very displeasing! This is not what I ordered

    A no frills good Vietnamese Restaurant in Stockton. Place does get packed and there's usually a 10 to 15 minute wait (this was around 1600 hours). The star here, is their Pho. Opted to try something different and went for their Grill Ribeye Pho.. the ribeye comes on a separate dish and very savory, but if you put in the soup it enhances the soup flavor. One thing I hate with Pho is restaurant don't serve it piping hot causing the noodles to clump but Pho Island does this right. soup is still steaming and tongue burning; just the way I like it. A place to definitely book mark for the Pho cravings in Stockton.

    It's kind of small but spacious at the same time. I always drive by this place, finally went in with my family. It was pretty packed with people waiting outside to be seated. They have a spin wheel for birthdays which is fun. Food was really good. I will say I've never had my beef placed on the side of the pho but nonetheless it was still very flavorful.

    Thanks Yelpers. Was looking for a good Vietnamese place and found this spot. We got their chicken banh mi, very flavorful and a good size. They didn't have jalapeños, pickled daikon and carrots so that was different. Their chicken rice plate was flavorful and great portion. Both chicken items were juicy and tasted really fresh. Their pho is also good! Look forward to trying their other dishes. Nice and quick service. The restaurant is clean and plenty of seating. Parking was easy as well. Come check them out.

    Josephine A.

    This place is busy! And for good reason. It's not a big establishment so during busy hours it can be bustling noise-wise. Nonetheless it's tidy and spacious enough. There is bar seating too. My friend got the combo pho with tripe. I didn't try it but she said it was ok. We had the salt and pepper tofu and squid which were really good and seasoned well (not too salty). The grilled oysters were really yummy! I got the vermicelli noodle bowl which was great! Noodles thin and delicate and perfect consistency. This feels like a staple Vietnamese restaurant here in Stockton. Wish parking was a bit easier

    Another decent find from Yelp. We were visiting UOP and wanted pho afterwards. Searched Yelp and found Pho Island. Easy parking on the street. While it's a busy street, we found parking really easily. We all ordered the B4 Build Your Own Pho. Mine had eye-round steak and beef meatballs. It was very tasty and the soup felt thicker than other places I go to. Tasted good - salty, but good. We also ordered pork egg rolls. They were cooked too long in oil as the edges were a little burnt and the wrap was hard. The place was pretty full so we knew the food would have been decent.

    Came with my team for lunch. We were seated pretty much immediately and they brought water. Once we decided what we wanted to eat we had to get a waiter's attention. The food came pretty quick and it was good! The waiters never came to check on us after we got the food and we had to get another waiter's attention to get boxes and the check. Then had to get their attention again to hand over the payment.

    Food was good, I didn't know what to eat I settled for this. A quick Yelp review of this restaurant persuaded me to visit it. Although everything I had was great. This place shine bright with thier pho selection. How foolish of me to go to a pho place and not try the pho. Service was excellent when I got there. Later in my meal the restaurant got busy. Service was still great giving how busy they got. Salt and pepper tofu was my favorites. Let them cool if or suffer i have. The egg roll came out hot and tasty. Good option of table side sauces made the sweet chili sauces that with them better. They was miss understanding when I ordered the oysters. I want the ponzu, butter ones but got the green onion peanut ones. They were good but i didn't want that crunchy texture. Ambiance was great. Mexican soap operas on one tv. Sports on the other. Current pop music playing on the speaker has the girls but swinging in thier booth. Lol. Lovely place.

    Short D5. Grilled Beef Korean Short-Rib (Cơm Sườn Đại Hàn) sub garlic noodles   Wine margaritas- pina colada
    Chaulzy S.

    Right off alpine. There is parking in front but more in the alley and directly behind the building. The place it self is welcoming and spacious. Most times they want you to sign j. And wait to be seated but today there was no wait. We started off as 2 and then our friend came later we didn't realize she was bringing kids but it was no problem for them and they quickly accommodated. We ordered Popcorn shrimp- 3/5 regular freezer to fryer butterfly shrimp. Not sure why it was called popcorn shrimp. It was okay Veggie egg rolls- 4/5- good crunch- little filling Wine margaritas- 3/5 tasted like sweet syrup and had a salt rim. 3 is cause it was STRONG. Korean short rib with garlic noodles 5/5- the portion looked small but omg this was more than enough food that had so much flavor! Usually the garlic noodles from other places have an overpowering taste but these were perfect. The shirt rib are good too. Some places serve all fat but not here. I got good meaty pieces and good marinated flavor that I love. Pork chop vermicelli bowl- the bowl was huge I didn't taste but from the empty bowl I think it was good with no complaints And grilled chicken plate! Same for this plate. With all this food we had to take to go boxes. So much food.

    Big ol grilled oysters.
    Jeremy T.

    This restaurant had fast service and really good pho. I had the oxtail combo and it was delicious. We also tried the baked oysters which were very tasty. I prefer my oysters to be a little smaller but these ones were still fresh and flavorful. One thing to note is the street parking is a little awkward as oncoming traffic doesn't seem to slow down for you, Id recommend parking around back or somewhere safer nearby.

    Amber S.

    Always a great experience because the food is always delicious, I've tried multiple variations of pho here and they never disappoint with the great flavor. They could stand to add more noodles but I still enjoy this place. Servers are always nice and the service is efficient. The ambiance is nice as well because they always play good music and it's a family oriented restaurant. Parking is a lil hectic because it's a busy street but this is my favorite pho spot I even drive from Sacramento to come here. Love it

Got the garlic noodles too really good, but lowkey wish we had gone with the lobster noodles or blue prawn noodles instead. A picture of them popped up on the TV while we were waiting and they looked insanely good... instant food envy. The dodging cow was another standout. The combo of garlic, steak, and onions just worked so well together tons of flavor in every bite. Juicy and tender with every bite! Also tried the banh mi fries, which were a fun twist. The pickled veggies kept things fresh, jalapeños added a nice kick, and the fries stayed crispy underneath it all. While we waited, I grabbed a Thai IPA, super hoppy, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. Service was great too. Staff was friendly, attentive, and gave solid recommendations! I wish we would've tried more dishes! Overall, really good eats and a great vibe. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

The combination pate came with this sauce which was slightly savory and a little sweet. It was good and I liked it! They skimp on the proteins though, as I only had about 3 slices of cold cuts in my sandwich and not enough cilantro. You're eating more bread here than anything.

The Grilled Chicken Roll'd deserves more attention. The grilled chicken reminded me of a flavorful chicken satay, and the peanut sauce complemented every bite without overpowering the fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a lighter, protein-packed option, this is it. They also offered complimentary strawberry and passion fruit refreshers.

Service has always been friendly, and it's the kind of place where both the staff and regulars make you feel welcome.
