Was craving a decent bahn mi and this place was legit. I had the grilled pork and it was a good balance of the bread (which had a nice crispy crust and fluffy inside) and the pork and the cucumber, radish and carrots and cilantro. There's a touch of mayo, and I think they use a little cumin or curry on the pork which is subtle but a great taste. I also had the wonton soup and it was excellent. Great chicken based broth, with a hint of garlic and ginger, not too salty with a clean taste - they know how to make soup. Lots of fresh green onion too. Definitely worth it and will be back to try the pho. read more

I ordered a pork banh mi and shrimp spring rolls to go and I'll give it a 3.6/5 stars. I parked right in front of the establishment and order at the front counter right away. The food took around 10-15 mins and I brought it home to eat right away. The pork banh mi was delicious and I even went back another day to try out the beef banh mi (equally as delicious). I loved the pate sauce and the juicy meat in the banh mi. The baguette was also crunchy and the jalapenos added a nice kick to the sandwich. The spring rolls were a little less desirable and dry. Despite the peanut sauce it came with, I did not really enjoy the rolls as the meat and noodles were dry. I would not order those again, but the banh mis were delicious. I'd give the banh mis themselves a 4/5 but I lowered the rating solely because of the spring rolls. read more

This place never fails! Everything always tastes amazing and the service is great and fast. My favorite things to get here are the spring rolls and steak pho. Once you are ready to leave you can go back to the front and pay there. They also accept Apple Pay. The ambiance here is very chill vibes and it is never too crowded. Perfect place to go if you want to lounge or even study. read more

First time here under this management and ownership. I don't remember how many times they changed ownerships. Place is nicely decorated, updated and relatively clean. Server seats us right away. We ordered #16 and fried tofu. Pho came out quick. Tofu came out later. I accidentally knocked over my cup of water. My husband went and gets the server's attention. He came quick to help. Offered us to move to another table and he'll clean up. I apologized for the mess I made. Server brought me another fresh cup of iced water. Very nice service. Thank you. Pho was good. Nothing special. I think the rare steak is well done and over cooked. Tofu was very crispy. It came with a vinaigrette kind of peanut dipping sauce. At first it's kind of weird and "interesting", eventually we liked it. I wish they could season the fried tofu with something. read more

Very good service, all of the employees are kind and accommodating with me. The pho was delicious too.

Great service! I called on the phone and they were very kind and patient when taking my order. I got chicken pho to go. They gave me hoisin, spicy sauces in a small container, and siracha! The veggies such as basil and bean sprouts were also in a separate bag. It also already came with utensils. The noodles and meat came in a separate container with soup in a large Togo container. The broth was very flavorful! I can really taste the spice of a good pho broth. The chicken was on the harder side, making it slight hard to chew. I saw some seating inside as well!! Will come again when I'm craving pho in the Pomona area! read more

Came on a Saturday and got seated immediately. Server was really nice and quick to take our order. Inside was clean with plenty of seating. Lots of parking in this little plaza and other shops like a bakery, boba shop, and açaí bowls! Menu seemed a bit on the pricier side compared to other pho places, but I ordered the Bun Bo Hue for $15. Bf got the Pho with Rare Steak and Brisket +$1 for large and said it tasted healthier and flavor was good! Although portion did seem a bit on the smaller side. The Bun Bo Hue could use some more lemongrass but it was pretty spicy and had a strong flavor and tomato-y taste. It came with very tender slices of beef shank, tendon, sausage, and thicker rice noodle. I didn't see the free dessert until the end but you can ask the server for a coconut jelly! We would come back if around the area :) read more

PhoX closed and replaced by Pho 909. New owner. Same decoration and dining. They have more menu selection. Similar Promo with Free Ice Tea with Yelp Check in. Ordered few items to go. Garlic Noodle, Pho, Sandwich, and Vermicelli. Garlic Noodle is tasty but smaller portion. Need more kick. Pho is about the same. Same smaller portion. Probably try to keep the price reasonable lower. Love the grilled pork on Sandwich and Vermicelli. Very tasty and tender. Hit the spot. Might come back and try different menu. Good option to choose for Vietnamese cuisine nearby. read more

Super slow service, waited for 15 minutes and the owner still tells us to wait for our turn to order.. very understaffed.

I thought the beef pho had a nice flavor. The basil leaves and onions and meat seemed fresh. Though I will say the rice dishes were less impressive. The spring rolls had a sort of sweet flavor. Not bad, but also somewhat unusual. The mango sticky rice was yum. Had a great server, chill vibe. read more

My boyfriend comes here all the time for pho and loves it. He gets the filet, brisket and some other kind of meat pho. I got the lemon grass pork with rice which was so good. Came with 3 slices of the sweet marinated pork. Only a few tables inside and not good for big groups but service is fast and food is good! They have outlets if you are trying to work and eat. Parking lot and bathroom available as well. read more

This pho restaurant is my new favorite go to spot. I first discovered this place when I was getting ready with the other bridesmaids for my best friends wedding. It was midday and we were all starving when Pho 909 popped up on my radar. My husband helped pick up a whole set of bahn mis for us bridesmaids and it was so delicious and loaded, not to mention reasonably priced! Since then I've gone back to order bahn mis when I was on the road going out of town, and on another occassion, my husband and I finally got to dine in and tried their pho. The food is consistently flavorful and it is our new go to spot! Wish this spot existed while I was a student at Mt. Sac back in the day cause I would be coming here all the time. read more

PHO 909 is a new Vietnamese restaurant that's located on temple Ave / valley blvd, at city of Pomona. It's very close to CPP. The decor and vibe is modern. There are plenty of seats. Service is okay, you order everything up front then it will be serve to you. One adult and two kids are going for quick dinner nearby on a Monday night. We order fried gyoza, it's tasty and crispy. The pho, it's good but the soup base doesn't seem that rich. It's better than average. We order mango sticky rice. Mango and dressing are perfect the sticky rice is too hard and dry. They have a promotion with free Thai tea at opening. It's average, bit water down in my opinion. Overall, they have good selections of Vietnamese food on menu, and lots of desserts too. read more

My Hispanic family and I had such a horrible experience in this restaurant. Our family of 9 came to eat and the server was so rude. We explained we were paying in separate checks and he said we automatically going to get charged 18% gratuity. We said we weren't in one check and a few of us sat in other tables, not together. He said it didn't matter and he would separate us to other tables in the other side of the restaurant to not even be close to our family. We left and didn't order, service is so bad! 0/10 don't recommend! read more

Best beef banh mi I've ever had. Ambiance and customer service is good too. Definitely recommend this spot.

I saw that this place opened up recently and wanted to try it. It's located near Cal Poly Pomona and has a good amount of parking but it does get packed. I have been trying bun/ vermicelli noodles at restaurants. I chose their 34A ($17.50) which is grilled pork, shrimp paste, and egg rolls with sliced lettuce, sliced cucumber, crushed peanuts, picked radish and carrots with a fish based sauce. The portion size was ok and it tasted fresh and the meat was well marinated and grill well. I also got their grilled pork spring rolls ($7) with peanut sauce which was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The staff is nice and attentive. Place is quiet and seating can be filled up during lunch time. read more

Lots of parking, quiet, lots of food options! We were in the area and found this Pho place online when looking for a late lunch spot. I am a sucker for Pho! One of my favorite foods and have tried many. We ordered 3 different pho. #12 Beef Brisket #13 Rare Brist #16 Rare steak, flank and tendon Also ordered #37 chicken chow mean and #A3 spring rolls. The pho.... it was amazing. The broth was very rich in flavor. The brisket was also very good and soft. For sauces I put their red paste sauce as well as siracha (I love my pho red and spicy!) The spring rolls were also very good, and the chow mein was our favorite! The noodles were so good and had great flavor as well the chicken! I will say, please be patient, it's a small team and they did get busy so did take some time but they were very apologetic. I understand being busy and being only 1 person seating, taking orders and all that. The server was amazing, wish I got his name. But very nice and very patient. Definitely recommend! read more

Was craving something warm and soupy so decided to check this place out. Parking is easy and the inside is small but clean and welcoming. Service was great too. Got a regular sized pho, pork chop with rice, and egg rolls. The egg rolls were super crispy and flavorful. The pho was also great - the broth is on the lighter side but still comforting (only negative is the tendon wasn't good). The pork chop rice was decent too. Would come back whenever I'm craving pho and egg rolls! read more

I ordered the rare steak and brisket pho. The meat was not rare so maybe i just got brisket? The meat was tough and scant, maybe 10 square inch pieces. When it came to the noodles I was still disappointed. They were so densely wrapped together that it was very difficult to wiggle them apart and enjoy. When i would try to pull the noodles up with chopsticks they broke every time so i couldnt enjoy any while they were longer. The broth was fine but a little salty. read more

I've lived in Diamond Bar for 4 years now and I would say we've eaten here maybe 3 or 4 times now. We've never been disappointed. I've had the wonton soup and beef pho and both are amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I plan to stop by again today bc it's a cold rainy day and Pho 909 sounds amazing. We're moving in 2 weeks and I'm really going to miss Pho 909. read more

Came here with my coworkers to check out this location! This used to be PhoX and now is Pho 909 since August of 2024. Menu being almost exactly the same as PhoX, I wasn't expecting anything. I ordered pho as I was craving noodles and it just tasted ordinary. The noodles were a tad better but the soup was super oily. Basil leaves weren't super fresh and I think they gave you less bean sprouts than before. Because the restaurant is still in grand opening, I was able to get free Thai tea and coconut jelly by checking in on Yelp (take advantage of that!) and we also received a 10% off our order. Overall, a passable pho place if you're craving it in this plaza. read more

Since I'm vegetarian I had the garlic butter noodles and substituted the fried chicken with fried tofu. Best decision ever! I also got the vegetable egg rolls so yummy... and that sauce! Yum!

Still saddened by the loss of Pho X, many people have been waiting for the restaurant that would take its place. With the opening of Pho 909, I figured I'd drop by and try a spread of their dishes and compare to the many other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Now looking at the restaurant's menu online, there seemed to be a variety of items to order. From a diverse appetizer section to robust pho and vermicelli dishes, the new restaurant seemed to be just like the other places in the Walnut area. Looking to try a few different things, I decided to call in around around 7:45PM on a Sunday night. For this experience, I chose an order of Deep Fried Tofu ($9.00), 4 Piece Spring Roll ($9.50), Combination Fried Rice ($18.00), and a Grilled Pork, Egg Roll, & Shrimp Paste Vermicelli ($17.50). The server told me my food would be ready in 20 minutes and I made my way over to pick up my food. Because I came in during the Grand Opening special, I received 10% off my entire order. In addition to this, the menu in the restaurant mentioned that you can receive a free Thai Tea with a check-in on Yelp (which I totally forgot). Now checking my receipt after I left the restaurant, I noticed the spring rolls were listed as $11.00 instead of the $9.50 that was listed on the menu. It's possible that this was a mistake, especially since the restaurant just recently opened. But it was unexpected to see I was overcharged $1.50 for the food. Taking a look at all of the dishes for the first time, I was pretty impressed with the portion given. Starting with the Deep Fried Tofu, there were about a good 20-25 small pieces inside with a side of spicy peanut sauce. Looking at the Spring Rolls next, the four I received were pretty large in size. Comparing the ratio of ingredients, I was happy that the size of the shrimp and the amount of pork was almost as much as the vegetables inside. The spring rolls came with two sides of peanut sauce which was generous for the amount of food inside. Moving to check out the Combination Fried Rice, the size of the box was somewhat small. But because the pork, chicken, sausage, and barbecued pork made up about 40% of the dish, I was satisfied with the ratio of ingredients. The only negative in the portion category would be that there was no shrimp in the Combination Fried Rice when the menu states shrimp should be included. For last, the Grilled Pork, Egg Roll, & Shrimp Paste Vermicelli was given in pretty generous size. For one, the vegetables made up 30% of the box, the noodles made it up another 30%, the egg rolls made up 20%, the grilled pork made up 15%, and the shrimp paste took up the last 5%. For this dish, the only gripe I have is the lack of fish paste included. Looking at the pictures on the menu, I was expecting 4 pieces to come with the dish. But unfortunately, I only received one. Comparing the price to portion ratio of all of the dishes, the Deep Fried Tofu was good for the $9. The Spring Rolls would have been a steal for $9.50. But because I was charged $11, the price to portion ratio is only good at best. For the Combination Fried Rice, the price to portion was good because of the meat given. And for last, the price to portion for the Grilled Pork, Egg Roll, and Shrimp Paste Vermicelli was decent. For the first week of being open, the food was better than I initially anticipated it to be! Tasting the Deep Fried Tofu first, the coating was thin which let the tofu shine as the highlight of the dish. The flavor was subtly savory which tasted great; I just wish there was a stronger salt and pepper flavor associated with the dish. For next, the Spring Rolls had a layer of fresh lettuce and beansprouts which really set the tone for the dish. The pork inside was both subtly savory and sweet which helped the fishy taste from the large pieces of shrimp on top. Dipping the spring rolls into the peanut sauce was also welcomed greatly for its sweet and nutty taste! Trying the fried rice next, the dish as a whole leaned more on the sweet side. But because the peas, carrots, and majority of the meats were sweet, it did not bother me too much. To counter these flavors, the rice and egg contributed the savory flavor that the dish really needed. And for last, the vermicelli was overall refreshing! While the vegetables provided moisture, the pork, shrimp paste, and egg rolls were sweet and crisp. Even though each had their own distinct taste, they were all cohesive which was much appreciated. Pho 909 is off to a good start with their diverse menu of options. All of the dishes I had were solid and tasted of very high quality. That being said though, the overcharge for $1.50 for the spring rolls, the lack of shrimp paste in the vermicelli, and the lack of shrimp in the fried rice were all factors that detracted from my first experience. I argue Pho 909 sits at a good 4/5 stars, but could have easily earned a 5 star rating without the hiccups. Give them a try for yourself and see what you think! read more
