    34. Combination Fried Rice (Best Seller)
    Daniel Z.

    I love you Chefs Pho you are the best Family Owned authentic food! My life has changed for the better here

    Prices as of October 2025

    The Chef's Pho Ontario CA Date of visit: 10/25/25 (Saturday) at 6:00pm ( 2 and a half hours before closing) Atmosphere: [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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

    Packaging.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing better is eating it right then and there, but home is dry, warm and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway, who wants to go out in the rain? In L.A.? I'm good.

    A short rib beef 6. Steak Pho (Best Seller)
    Kate A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place looks pretty simple inside but the quality of food and service are exceptional!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean dinning area and restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kids love the little robot that brings the food to the table and they also love the pho and the filet mignon with rice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A pho bowl js $12-$13.... Can't beat that. Service is also very attentive and courteous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great family place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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!

    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."

    Pho Chin Nam Gau Gan
    Cuc N.

    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

    The Chef's Pho is chef's kiss! This local family owned spot is serving up some authentic Vietnamese food for the IE community. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a good amount of seating with about 8-10 tables for seating. Wifey and I came through for dinner around 7pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have some beautiful designs and artwork throughout along with all the Vietnamese staples ranging from appetizers, rice, fried rice, pho, egg noodle, and garlic noodle dishes. We opted to try the Egg Noodle Combination Soup (Mi Dac Biet) and the Pho Combination Soup (Pho Dac Biet). Both dishes were amazing, comforting to the soul, and had those authentic rich and hearty flavors with every bite and sip. Overall, I can definitely see why the community packs this place out! All of the staff here are very friendly and efficient. We will be back forsure next time we are in the area. Come stop by to support a local family owned restaurant. The Chef's Pho is Viet gang approved!

We ordered two bowls of the Pho Dac Biet & Ontario Combination Appetizer plate. Everything was out pretty speedy to the table! The soup hit just right for a morning meal. The portions here are VERY GENEROUS. It had plenty of tasty meat and lots of noodles (cooked a bit al-dente for my taste, but it's different for everyone). I think my boyfriend and I could've honestly shared one bowl and be satisfied. It was not a bad price either for a huge bowl. I might be biased since I love huge portions for an affordable price, but I thought it was a delicious bowl. The appetizers were solid, I would've liked a bit more portion as the egg rolls and shrimp rolls were a skinny. If I lived closer I would probably frequent this place a lot more, but this will probably be the place I go to when I fly out of ONT. Way better than other spots that I've tried in the IE so far.

I would definitely eat my fair share of this dish. My only quibble is the "other" stuff oveshadows the lamb by a lot. I always thought with mixes like this it should be 60% protein and 40% other stuff. This is getting into serious Chinese stir-fry territory into the 33/67. That's one of the reasons I don't like Chinese food as much as some, because the meat seems to be lacking. The service was good. The woman behind the counter took my order competently and got the food out quickly. The one customer concession they lacked is the one that usually annoys me in that they sell cans instead of a fountain drink. I found myself in that limbo again where I was thirsty after my first can and I had to decide if it was worth it to pay for yet another soda. Lastly, the ambiance was good. There's ample space here without feeling crowded to the tables next to you. I definitely get the sense you could relax with a book here after your meal. But, overall, even though the food tastes great, the lack of equitable protein for the price and the lack of refills on a soda make this place only okay. If u ever come back I think one or both of those aspects would have to change.
