For those who haven't experienced it before, it's an AYCE salad bar, soups, and other prepared foods. They have two locations. One is in Chino, the other here and Rancho Cucamonga. This location is wildly popular and the line never dies down until they close. We came in the middle of an afternoon on Sunday and it was still at least a 30 minute wait. Their system is very efficient. A staff will let a limited amount of people in at a time to keep the salad bar line clear and moving smoothly. In between groups of people that are let in, the ones behind the counter will restock items that are low and wipe down the counters. That makes the place look clean all the time. Once you enter, grab a plate or two and a tray and create your own salad. They have many types of veggies with several types of dressings. Then you'll pay at the end of the line at the cashier station. They also have about 4 to 5 different types of soups, few types of muffins, baked potatoes, fresh cut, fruit, and a few other items. Soup n Fresh is a total nostalgic place for me because the last time I went to a place like this was before the pandemic of 2020, and everything tasted just like Souplantation, from the clam chowder to their ranch dressing. The experience brought back a lot of memories when I used to run into friends all the time. I hope they will open more locations towards San Gabriel Valley area.

Plenty of parking as it's in a shopping center. The restaurant is cute inside.. but I can see how others say it's small and limited seating. *Staff, the staff was friendly and quick! I was sat quickly, and attended promptly.. *Food, the food was great! Portion sizes were shareable from appetizers to entrees. Definitely best to go with a group so you can taste everything haha. It's not exactly family style but kind of. They give you smaller bowls for your soup. You can choose your spice level. *Ambience, it's definitely a cute little shop inside.. well lit, I would say it's best for all.. a family was there with their baby and the baby started crying and it echoed in the room which was loud.

The food did not taste authentic at all and felt like a watered-down version made for American tastes. Everything was bland and lacked flavor. Even some basic seasoning would have helped. I've honestly had frozen food from 99 Ranch Market that tasted better. The service was fine, no complaints there. The Yelp rating of 4.3 is misleading and suggests great food, but based on my experience, there's nothing here worth raving about. Everyone's taste is different, so try it for yourself and make your own judgment.

The good: I got bun combo (vermicelli bowl), rice combo…read moreplate (had pork, beef, shrimp) and beef pho. I was psyched that my toddler ate the meat and rice because he rarely eats meat! The meat had fragrant grill flavor. The pho broth was sweet. They had a lot of drink options as well as menu entree options. The interior was nice with a lot of booth-style seats. I really liked the cool presentation of the boat for the bun dish. The host was really friendly and accommodating. I think pho was the standout dish. I liked the shreds of carrot in the fish sauce. The bad: They forgot to give the nuoc mam (fish sauce) for the rice plate. The rice in the rice plate wasn't broken rice. The fish sauce was on the vinegary side and I wish it had a deeper fish sauce flavor. The honeydew smoothie was on the sweet side. The pho broth could've been a bit saltier. The interesting: They brought the bill to our table. Usually at Vietnamese places you pay at the counter (which I think is an option too). The combo rice plate was served in two different plates which was something I've never seen before.

This review is based on the service we experienced today. My…read morepartner, our 5-year-old daughter, and I visited The Pozole Place on a Sunday. We placed an order for pozole, a tamal, and chorizo fundido. While waiting, my daughter kept saying she was very hungry, so I politely got up and asked our server if there was any item that could come out a little faster for her. The server responded that nothing would be ready in less than 15 minutes, which I understood, and I returned to our table. Our server then came to our table and explained that Sundays are very busy and asked if we wanted to cancel our order. We said no and continued waiting while explaining to our daughter that it would take some time. However, she continued asking if we wanted to cancel. Shortly after, she told us she had already canceled our order because I had asked about the wait time. I was surprised because I never asked to cancel the order -- I only asked if anything could come out sooner for my hungry child. At that point, we realized our food would take even longer because the order had been canceled, so we decided to leave. My partner commented that it was upsetting the order had been canceled without our approval, and the situation escalated quickly. The woman, who later identified herself as the owner, became very loud in front of customers waiting at the door, which was embarrassing for us. I tried calmly explaining to a customer near the entrance what had happened, but the owner came back, shut the door in my face, and told me I was never welcome there again, claiming we "always make problems there." That statement was completely untrue. We had not been there in over a year, and we had never had any issues during previous visits. So she is such a big liar. We ended up going to Casa Rubio's instead, where we received great service and enjoyed good food :) We are foodies and never had an issue before at any other restaurant ...

I asked for a separate to go box to fill the toppings up at the station and he put his hand up to my face and said "hold on" while he helped other customers coming in. Then he asked what I wanted again and said he was confused and I said "a Togo box with a lid for the toppings at the toppings corner" and I literally pointed to it and he said ok "what do u want" "I'm going to give you onions" he gave me one tiny container of onions it was way more worth it to eat in so u have full access to the topping station. It was almost like he didn't want me to have anything or load up. I left with one tiny soy sauce, one tiny onion packet and one chilli oil for an order of 20 dumplings. The chefs in the back came forward because they felt the vibe that he was being aggressive in his body language almost to check the scene. Horrible experience with him. Maybe he was stressed or having a bad day. Either way I'm unhappy customer today and will be spreading the word. Everyone else is very nice and accommodating

The food was also so yummy! I got the verde burrito and the birria. Both amazing and reasonably priced, although I preferred the burrito.
