    The Chef's Pho Ontario CA Date of visit: 10/25/25 (Saturday) at 6:00pm ( 2 and a half hours before closing) Atmosphere: Reminded me of cozy Asian grandparents home, it felt so inviting and my boyfriend and I decided to dine in rather than taking our food to go. The smell inside this establishment was divine to say the least. Food: My boyfriend and I ordered the pho, the steak and garlic noodles, and a Vietnamese coffee. Food ratings: Pho: 7/10, broth was light, but still delicious Vietnamese coffee: 8/10, its dark liquid appearance seemed a bit intimidating at first as we are use to other Vietnamese coffee we've tried appearing lighter in color. Flavor was great, quite addicting actually and I LOVED the aftertaste for some reason. Steak and garlic noodles: 7/10, flavors of both the steak and garlic noodles appeared to be on the lighter side in regards to flavor. I love strong and bold flavors, and I think the chimichurri sauce helped with this. The steak was slightly on the dryer side and didn't seem to be as seasoned. Staff: Friendly! And our food came no more than maybe 10 minutes after we ordered despite it being a little bit busy between dine in orders and door dashers picking up food to go.

    Such an excellent place to get lunch at on my break. Fast service and high quality food. The staff is so attentive and the food is delicious. Love it here!

    I've tried pho all over the city, and this place is the one I keep coming back to. The broth is rich, deep, and clearly simmered with care -- not greasy, not bland, just perfectly balanced. You can taste the time and love in it. The noodles are always cooked just right, the portions are generous, and the meat is tender and high quality. Add in fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime, and a little chili, and it's absolute comfort in a bowl. Service is fast and friendly, prices are fair, and the place has that no-frills, authentic vibe that tells you the food is going to be legit. Whether you're fighting a cold, nursing a hangover, or just craving something cozy, this is the spot. If you're searching for the best pho in town -- stop searching. This is it.

    This place never dissappoints and always hits the spot! Lotta tasty sweets inside apart from the pho.

    My favorite pho spot to go to when I'm craving . I always get the large chicken pho with extra noodles . It's always the best !! Inside is very spacious and service is amazing

    my new fav pho place. customer service was a 100/10 and the pho and matcha was soooo good. definitely will be coming back

    It's officially soup weather, and the rain and cold has brought with it the craving for something hot and delicious. Enter The Chef's Pho. Once upon a time, I lived in NYC and food delivery was as common as a burger joint drive-thru is here in LA. I don't know why it took so long, but it's here now. Thank goodness for Uber Eats and Doordash. I can now have my favorite Brisket and Raw Flank Steak Pho delivered to my door. The broth is still hot and exquisitely seasoned. The noodles, meat and garnishments all successfully deployed. The egg rolls hot, crispy and crunchy. The only thing better is eating it right then and there, but home is dry, warm and cozy. Anyway, who wants to go out in the rain? In L.A.? I'm good.

    Kate A.

    This place looks pretty simple inside but the quality of food and service are exceptional!!! I highly recommend to try a short rib beef pho! OMG! It's just a next level! So delicious, fresh, meat was so tender and juicy! My favorite spot so far in Ontario!

    My son likes the steak and rice without all the trimmings.
    Ed W.

    Reasonable prices, generous portions and great flavor. Clean dinning area and restrooms. Kids love the little robot that brings the food to the table and they also love the pho and the filet mignon with rice. A pho bowl js $12-$13.... Can't beat that. Service is also very attentive and courteous. Great family place.

    6. Steak Pho
    Sarah M.

    I ordered from The Chef's Pho through Uber Eats and was so impressed! The steak pho was absolutely delicious -- tender slices of steak, rich and flavorful broth, and fresh toppings that made every bite comforting and satisfying. The portion was generous, and everything was packaged perfectly so it arrived hot and ready to enjoy. They included all the classic condiments on the side -- fresh basil, lime wedges, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and hoisin and sriracha sauces -- so I could customize it exactly how I like. Everything was crisp, vibrant, and clearly fresh. Definitely one of the best pho bowls I've had delivered, and I'll be ordering again soon!

    Little delicious Vietnamese shop that has a variety of Vietnamese and Asian fusion dishes to suit anyone's cravings for a group. Their garlic noodles are decent but slightly on the mild side. Chewy and soft. Pricey compared to their other menu items. Taro smoothie was delicious and addictively sweet! Pho was delicious all around! Broth was flavorful and slightly on the sweeter side. They have a spicy broth version with Thai chilis that is actually really spicy so be careful when you give a level! They have a lot of types of meat for pho including fatty brisket!! 3 types of pho noodles for you too. Robot server carrying out all the pho orders. Minimizes accidents and looks cool and entertaining for kids. Pros: -good and fast service -two coed restrooms -delicious food -variety of menu items -broth is delicious and meat is tender and soft Cons: -slightly pricy garlic noodles

    Corn matcha
    Linh N.

    The drinks at Chef are pretty good overall -- nothing tastes watered down and the flavors are well balanced. My favorites have to be the matcha drinks, especially the banana matcha and corn matcha. The matcha flavor is clear and not overly sweet, even for someone like me who likes sweet drinks. They're creamy and really good. And the best part is, I don't even have to go far for good matcha anymore."

My fave rave is PHO LONG in Colton, but if that's understandably too far for you there's nothing wrong with PHO ISLAND. If you empty your vermicelli bowl here, it must be pretty good. And it is. My partner in crime got a tofu vermicelli bowl and was impressed. My shrimp and pork and crispy fried rolls bowl was definitely tasty. And the pricing was very reasonable. The only catches here were odd -- 1. When approaching the entrance, there was an awful 'sewage' like smell. When leaving, it was there again -- but it was really farming manure in the air everywhere. Not their fault, but not appetizing. 2. Apparently this place opened 16 years ago, and it's starting to show on the interior furniture. I know fixing things up would likely raise prices, but I saw a couple kinda dressed up on a date -- and the place could be a little more dressed up itself. 3. The shrimp in my bowl arrived on a thin stick skewer. To have a shrimp you must pick up the stick by the tips and pull one off. Well that shrimp apparently came right off the grill because it burnt my fingertip. It was like picking up a wooden match seconds after it's been used. That said -- this place was bustling on a Friday night, nearly full -- which means they're doing most things right.

He never came back to check on us or offer to make it right until I had to ask someone else from the back to remove the item from the table and our bill. Later, I tried to ask Felix for boxes and bags, but he walked away before I could even finish asking. His attitude came across as rude and dismissive, which was really disappointing, especially since I'm a regular customer. I still enjoy coming here because my experiences have almost always been great, but I hope management addresses the customer service on days when their usual staff isn't there.

The same waitress we've dealt with in the past continues to be extremely rude. She has gotten our order wrong before and tends to argue instead of resolving issues. There also seems to be a communication barrier, which wouldn't be a problem if there was at least some effort to be patient or respectful but there isn't. Tonight really crossed the line. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, which is still reasonable time to dine in. The waitress made direct eye contact with me when we walked in, yet never greeted us or acknowledged us. A man came in after us and was immediately welcomed and told to take a seat. Meanwhile, my son and I stood there waiting with no direction. Eventually, I had to ask where we could sit. The man at the register mentioned they close at 9 PM and asked if we wanted to dine in or do takeout. Since we still had time, we chose to eat there. We sat down and again, nothing. The waitress walked past us multiple times, even bringing condiments and service to the man who came in after us, completely ignoring us. At around 8:45 PM, she finally approached us. As I began placing my order, she cut me off to ask "for here or takeout," then suddenly changed it to "actually, you can only do takeout." This was confusing and frustrating, especially since the other customer was clearly still being served for dine-in. I went to the register to place and pay for my order, and I asked her why the same rule didn't apply to the man behind us. She said he was dining in. That didn't make sense, considering we arrived first. The situation turned into her arguing with me claiming she didn't see us earlier and even disputing who brought us water. On top of everything, I was left feeling severely embarrassed in front of other customers, especially with my child there to witness it. No parent should have to experience that kind of treatment while simply trying to have a meal. By 9 PM, the man who came after us was already being served his food while we were denied the same service. This experience felt not only disrespectful but also discriminatory. It's disappointing because I've tried to support this place multiple times, but the consistent poor treatment and lack of professionalism make it impossible to return. I won't be coming back.

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.
