This place recently opened (September 2013) and I decided to try it out after my roomates came home with some seriously delicous smelling soup the other day. I went on a late Sunday afternoon to get a to-go order. I had to sit down and wait for it with a glass of water (that was nice of them) for about 15 minutes. No big deal to me generally. What I was more let down about was lack of direction when you walk in (albeit it is in a strip mall). There is no podium, only the counter in the back which I headed toward to place an order to take away....and was consequently seated at a table where I awkwardly paid the bill as if I had been served. Just awkward. I can get over that, The prices are average... $7-11 for entrees. I ordered steak and beef flank pho and a bahn mi chay (veggie sandwich) to go. When I got home I tried the broth by itself (they package it all separately, which is great, and scary...keep reading). The broth was a little plain but a good base. I opened the foam container to find raw steak on top of cooked flank meat next to solidified cold vermicelli. The raw/cooked meat together threw me for a little loop. I know the pho comes with raw steak, I just didn't expect it to be packaged that way. In a separate grocery store style thin produce bag was thai basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, scallions and a small container of chili sauce...and 3 jalapeno medallions. 3. THREE. I like mine very spicy, but hadn't specified, so I added my own chili sauce in addition. Overall it tasted alright and was a very large portion (a quart of broth before the rest!) Enough for two people. My bahn mi was all kinds of disaster and I wish I could un-eat it. I ordered the veggie one hoping for fresh and crisp, tangy veggies and chewy bread. What came was wilted cilantro on woody stems, one piece of tough cucumber, vinegary shredded clumpy carrots, oily mayonnaise that tasted questionable.....and patties? They were flavorless, textureless meat-ish slices about 1/4" thick on my sandwich. If it was tofu, I must be really confused, because I have had these before and generally, if it has anything besides veggies it is shredded tofu and it is specified on the menu, The menu here has it listed out of category, let's not get started on the typos, check their menu tab in their website. I was hoping the errors gave it better cred as super authentic? Anyway, whatever was on there was pork-like and tasted gross. I didn't finish it. The roll was like a chewy deli roll rather than a crusty baguette. I couldn't have stood to eat there with the TV blaring sports recaps and staring at the tacky sponge painted mural walls was dizzying. I often miss Vietnamese food, having eaten it several days a week not too long ago in the Westminster area (Little Saigon). If this place gets fresher ingredients and I am not sick tomorrow I may give it another try....until then I will hold out and continue to mad scientist at home with things I can't read from the Asian market. Don't bother with a special trip, if you are craving pho, proceed with caution. read more

Ocean Pho - Iffy beef steak and flank "pho tai nam" - Vietnamese Near Me - Yucaipa, California

We absolutely love Ocean Pho! Very reasonable prices and great food. The owners are so friendly. Highly recommend.

Alright the pho was okay but the service was not hot! I came on a Friday night so it was a little busy and they were understaffed. I'm pretty sure there were about three people working there. I didn't expect much but when it came time to order I went ahead and ordered my pho and an avocado smoothie from their menu. The lady taking my order says "no". Confused, I asked if they were out of smoothies. She says "no. We are too busy to make a smoothie". Well that's that. But I can't go back to a place that refuses to make something on their menu because they goofed and are understaffed. read more

When we first walked in, we were glad at how clean this place was. I've been to places where their condiments weren't clean, and were sticky from everyone handling the bottles. But not this place, and they don't water down their sriracha. I ordered their wanton and BBQ pork soup with egg noodles, and my bf got the beef soup. Both tasty. The only thing was our server was extremely slow and forgetful. He never refilled my bf's drink which was $2.50 and our smoothies weren't all the way full. read more

Always efficient. Vermicelli is my favorite. Eggs rolls are awesome. Thai tea, no boba for me. Owner is really Nice read more

I'm so sorry that this place sucks I moved from West Minister And can't find a decent Vietnamese restaurant IE I have Vietnamese friends and I know what Vietnamese food taste like This place is far from authentic Vietnamese food especially their fish sauce I really wish them luck and if you have no clue what pho or Vietnamese food taste like I'm pretty sure you'll like it read more

They have had a B health rating for months...no effort to fix this. Just like customer service, no effort to correct if an issue occurs. Tone deaf management at all of the ocean pho locations it seems. read more

The place has good flavors. I ordered the won ton and bbq pork soup with egg noodles. The noodles were cooked al dente. Good combination of flavors in the broth. Roasted garlic, some Asian vegetable that looked like green onions but they were something else. The bbq pork was a loin that's marinated, then fire roasted. Combine the above with a variety of green onions, cilantro and won tons. The protein portion in the won tons were 1/3 of the size they should be. The service is quick and friendly. Not much of an interior to speak of. The menu is huge when it comes to variety. They even serve some Chinese and Korean dishes. The price is a little higher than most Vietnamese restaurants, but they're in a town that has no other Vietnamese restaurants. It's a monopoly on phó. I would have given them 4 stars but the price and those micro won tons cost then a deficit of one star. In conclusion, the prices are a little higher, but the flavor is there. read more

Vegetable Pho and egg rolls were amazing! Appreciate the way they packaged their Pho for Togo! Will be back!

So we were in town and this place happen to be the closest Vietnamese restaurant. When I arrive, it was extremely hot like fire in the kitchen! I was with a group of seven and there was no one or menu was giving. We waited over six minutes and no one came to our tables. There were a couple, walk in, Seated and already took order while we were sitting and waiting like idiot. The waitress was terrible and she was giving attitude. It's an extremely beyond shamed when our food came before our water! One of my party order some chicken wings and it was not freshly cook! It was microwaves, I kindly told waitress and she gave another attitude that it was made fresh and I work for several restaurant as a chef and I convince it was microwaves because the chicken wings was soggy and wet ( not crispy or grilled). While we almost finish our entree, another one of my party did not receive his Pho and told the waitress twice and finally, she return and told us that it coming and we told her to cancel since we are already done. She refused to cancel the order and say that she mistakenly put it "to go". Sadly, I can't believe this restaurant is even consider four stars on Yelp. If possible, I'll give it -1 stars! I nearly lost my appetite. I do not encourage any families/ friends or local/ distance to even come to this restaurant. Even Little Caesars next door smell amazing! Such a shamed that it comes down to this. As a chef, I do not demand great food or great service because it is tough but still! Your standard for the restaurant isn't even there. 45 minutes wait for water is a JOKE! Especially if your restaurant is hot like fire! read more

Not sure why only 4 stars. I gave it 5. Pho was delicious. We ordered the steak and hubby had steak/tendons/tripe. We also ordered pork spring rolls...very flavorful and peanut sauce was just right for dipping. Hot pot of Jasmine tea and a Corona. We are absolutely stuffed and satiated. Perfect meal for a cold night. Prices are perfect if you are on a budget. read more

Ocean Pho - Spring rolls with shrimp and pork. Delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Yucaipa, California

I have always lived in LA and OC. There are many Pho places in two of my former neighborhoods (Gardena and Westminster). I am by no means a self-proclaimed Pho critic, BUT I have had a lot of pho and know what I like. Now that I live here in Yucaipa (a much more rural area compared to my old residences) I was surprised to see we even had a pho place! The name confuses me as the ocean is far away... But it's cute and the decor is nice. The pho itself is some of the best I have ever had. It's so fresh and delicious. They even offer a Vegan option! Love this place. Going there today. read more

Super good food! Went there last night and had beef vermicelli. Restaurant was a very clean environment and had friendly staff. Definitely will be going back there soon! read more

Really good pho. Lots of flavor. Really responsive staff. They split our check no problem. I'll be coming here again for the variety and the flavor. read more

It's not on the menu but I ordered pho do bien chai - seafood soup with a vegetarian broth... Was very good and their iced coffee was even better than Pho Ha... Probably Americanized... read more

Ocean Pho - Pho do bien with vegetarian broth - Vietnamese Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Not a bad gig for pho in Yucaipa. The service is quick and the food is flavorful. I've dined here a few times in the past few months so it's high time I put in a word about this Vietnamese noodle shop on the blvd. I'm glad my Vietnamese brothers are slowly taking over the inland empire read more

I give them an extra star because it's Yucaipa, and it's wonderful compared to many of the local restaurants. I always order pretty much the same dish, no matter which Vietnamese restaurant I'm at: charbroiled pork with vermicelli noodles and egg rolls. I admit it isn't the best I've ever had (normally eating Vietnamese in the SGV,) and it seems to be missing some of the traditional fresh herbs, but it's good and refreshing on a warm day. I will definitely return. read more

Our church stopped by here for lunch after our retreat at Oak Glen on Sunday and we literally took over the entire restaurant! We had a lot of children and the staff was very courteous and accommodating. It go so busy at one point I think they called someone who didnt work there to help out. Food was good. Had one of their rice plates, wife had pho and we also ordered spring rolls and their fried chicken wings. Everything was tasty and very satisfying. We also ordered a milk tea boba which was pretty decent for a place in Yucaipa. The boba was a bit too soft but the milk tea was very good. You could actually taste the tea! Overall, this was a pretty good pho restaurant outside of the San Gabriel Valley area. Was a bit skeptical at first but their proof was in the "Pho-utting"! HAHAHAHA read more

I never write bad reviews but these were the absolute worst spring rolls I've ever had. Litetally tofu and shredded lettuce wrapped up. No cucumber or carrots etc. just tofu, lettuce. I settled with vegetable spring rolls, since I've called in the past requesting chicken egg rolls and the owner is strict on no chicken egg rolls, even when I offered to pay extra. (Ocean pho in rancho always allowed chicken substitute, but ok). Maybe other things on the me I are decent but these were so disappointing. Was still hungry after read more

The shredded chicken Pho is so yummy! Not too impressed with the Teas and drinks but the Pho is always good. Definitely recommend all the soups. Good quality. read more

Love this place ! They never disappoint pho is always on point every time they do get busy here so sometimes there a wait but foods good and so if there bobas would highly recommend! read more

*Great customer service* I didn't actually go to this restaurant, but have a good experience with them nonetheless! They close at 9:30 and my girlfriend and I wouldn't have been arriving until a couple minutes after 9. I called ahead to see if they could accommodate us, which they respectfully said they could not, as they accept their last customers up until 9. A few minutes later, on our way to find another place to eat, the kind lady I spoke to on the phone called me back and informed me that the other Ocean Pho restaurant in Redlands(near Harkins theater) stays open until 11, and stops accepting new customers at 10:30. We proceeded to our new destination and enjoyed delicious and generous servings of pho! Our night worked out great due to the great customer service we experienced through an employee at Ocean Pho, Yucaipa, just calling in! :) I would imagine you can expect the same dining in. read more

Yucaipa, you are lucky to have this Pho place! Authentic, amazing fragrance and taste!! I'm a creature of habit and always go for Chicken Pho and order some lettuce/mint wrapped egg rolls. Only thing, I wished they served the Pho with Thai Green Chilies instead of Jalapeño Peppers, but hey, they all do it because we're in California... Love this place, great food, service and always clean. read more

Great Pho. Great service. Clean and relaxing environment. What more needs to be said. Stopped here on our way back to Vegas after reading the reviews. Well worth the stop. Thank you read more

The food is decent. Definitely not on the top of the list for the best pho I've had. However, this place has a special place in my heart as I've always went there after a good winter getaway and pho is on the top of my mind on the way home. Great service and decent food. I'm not being too picky based on that there aren't too many options out there in Yucaipa. read more

I went to USA for my vacation and my friend recommended this to me. The food was good and services are the best. If you want me to recommend, I would recommend this to everyone! The food are quite cheap as a restaurant. This restaurant is one of the best restaurant that I went to. Everything was quite good! The air-conditioner was cold and it really cools me down because I was not able to take the spicy food.Definitely coming back if I am coming USA again for vacation. +1 read more

I live 35 minutes away from this place and would still rather drive out here than go to any other pho place around my home. It is the best! The broth and everything is perfect on its own, don't need to add anything! :) BETTER THAN PHO 77! read more

First time here. I went after my biology class at Crafton Hills College and it was amazing. I've tried numerous pho restaurants from Moreno Valley, Riverside, Hemet, but this place is very nice. The inside is pleasant, from the wall paintings to the seats themselves. Also, the staff are friendly, even if they're difficult to talk to at times lol. The food wa read more

Ocean Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Yucaipa, California

This place gets an order wrong and then they try to deflect the blame. Didn't give a single care either. Ordered no peas. Rice was delivered with no vegetables at all. Also, no soy sauce in the bag. It was pretty rad eating plain fried rice. Their excuse was that the peas, carrots and onions are mixed together. Would have been cool to communicate that with their customers. Never going back here again. Way better places in town to order similar food from with way better customer service. read more

Great vegetarian food!!! Hard to find in Yucaipa. For $25 we ordered two tofu chop suey and two spring rolls. The chop suey came with rice and a very pleasant unassuming soup. The servings are huge here! I will probably have 3 meals off mine!!! read more

Ocean Pho - I ate all I could. This is what I had left of the most delicious tofu fried rice ever!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Pho is extremely tasty. I rarely crave pho but since coming here i always want pho. Their smoothies and boba are also very good. They taste fresh and have no artificial flavor to them. Their veggie eggrolls with fish sauce are amust to get with your pho. Best pho spot around the area. Customer service is great, clen and just overall good quality all around read more

Wanted to check out a pho spot that was local for my husband and I, we were very satisfied! The place has a welcoming environment and everyone was very attentive. We both ordered pho #6 and #3. The broth was very flavorful! It must have been delicious because I ate the entire thing I highly recommend and will be returning read more

Thai iced tea please.... Will come back. The beef stew wasn't the greatest, the bones when you soak/cook them for a long time turns powdery and they have included it in the soup/broth. They should have strained it. read more

So far this place is the best I've had in the area. Unlike other pho places, the pho broth here at this restaurant is very light, just the way I like it. Most places that I go to before tend to have an oily broth that contains thicker consistency soup or you can see lot of oil in the soup. A sister recommended me to try this place out and sure enough, this will be my go-to pho place in the future. read more

The restaurant did not follow my food allergies! I paid extra for egg noodle and didn't get them. And I got food poisoning from my soup. Not sure they use fresh ingredients. read more

My favorite place in town!!! My coworker and I have turned into frequent customers!!! at their most congested times they always have efficient service! Best Pho!!!! I can't say nothing more! Love how authentic their food is! I sometimes even just stop in for a thai ice tea! I absolutely love the owner Van whom takes a moment to give me a hug whenever I see her at whichever site she is at (they have multiple restaurants) read more

Very good food. I would recommend for sure! We had the # 1 and the # 16 very tasty and filling. read more

As soon as we walked in I knew it was an authentic Vietnamese pho restaurant! From the owners to the server they are all Vietnamese! The ambience in the restaurant is inviting and casual! First thing I order is Thai tea boba! It's very tasty and the boba is nice and soft! You can tell they prepare their boba same day because of the taste and softness to it! I then ordered pho beef and tendon! They give you an extra large bowl of pho with double portion of meat and noodles! Very filling and amazing soup! The soup by itself tastes amazing and no need to add extra sauces to it like we normally do! I highly recommend if you are passing by the area to come into this hidden gem OCEAN PHO! read more
