My first visit to Pho Island was a great experience. I ordered the beef short ribs with rice and a bowl of pho, and both were excellent. The beef short ribs were tender, flavorful, and the marinade was outstanding with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The pho broth tasted like it had been simmering for hours--it was rich, full of flavor, and exactly what great pho should be. The restaurant had a clean, comfortable atmosphere, and the customer service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended! read more

I had a miserable day and realized I hadn't eaten anything in hours so was hangry and famished. Even though it was 91 degrees out I looked on Yelp and this place looked good. Shrimp rolls were delicious. Nothing standout about it or the sauce but I scarfed them down. Spring rolls were well fried and came with one lettuce and pickled daikon/ carrots but no mint. Pho broth was delicious as a base, once I added sauces to my liking it was fantastic! Salt and pepper wings with rice soy sauce and chili oil is one of my favorite things to eat and this was well done too. Piping Hot, crispy, not too oily and didn't taste like the oil it was fried in. Large seating area, friendly service, easy to find parking. If I was even back in Modesto (two hour drive), I'd return read more

Fantastic place for banh mi sandwiches. They use some egg spread that reminds me of a homemade mayonnaise, absolutely delicious and I am not a mayonnaise person. Their pork chops are tender and flavorful. We ordered a few sandwiches and some grilled pork plates. Everything was delicious. Looking forward to trying out more of their menu. read more

We moved to Modesto fairly recently and have only had food delivered. It is fantastic! We had pho once and ribeye dishes and everything has exceeded our expectations. Can't wait to visit in person. What a find! read more

Came on a busy night. Staff was a little scrambled but they were very friendly. Food took a while to come out, but again, they were pretty busy. The food itself was very tasty. We tried a few different items and all of them had good flavor. The interior was nice. Spacious. Nice bar. Both interior and exterior seating. I'd definitely come back to see how their service is when they aren't so newly opened. Ive been to their location in Manteca and I was not impressed. But this location left a much better impression read more

Pho was really tasty. I definitely wish that there were more noodles in it because I felt like the portion was pretty small. But the broth tasted good and I liked the crispy onions in it. Never had that in a Pho broth before. Service could've been a bit better, our server kinda forgot about us once our food was delivered, however, another server noticed we needed something and was very attentive. The Thai tea was my favorite part, 10/10. I recommend getting that with your meal! I'd come back and try it again. read more

Very friendly service, chill vibe, and super delicious bahn mi sandwiches. We tried the pork and chicken, recommend both. Crisp veggies with a slight hint of jalapeño. The bread held up to a filled sandwich. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Mojitos were well made and minty. Perfect with the crisp and fresh bahn mi. read more

Came here in Sunday, 4/12/26 evening for dinner. A party of 5, waited for seating for a couple of minutes. Walked through a bar and high table and barstools. Waiter came with cups and a jug of lemon water which is a plus. What we ordered: Pho dac biet- flavor was ok - with a bit much of MSG Bun Bo hue- spicy noodle soup- which had the whole pork blood and pork feet- look good but there's absolutely no flavor of a BBH . Grilled pork rice plate- grilled meat was good Service was good, different waiters always asked if we needed anything. I would come back to try the noodle grilled pork dish. read more

Grand opening day is/was a disaster. Remember, this is your third location, so there should have been better planning. We came,waited over 30 mins before our order was taken, ordered pho, and was told it'll be at least 1 hour until pho is ready. Pho is literally a broth that is assembled when ordered. ...1 hour for pho is insane. A word of advice... do a soft opening first, then go for your Grand Opening. It'll iron out the kinks. read more

Pho Island III - Chicken banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

As we walked up server had opened the door for us. (Plus one star) The place is a sports bar. Updated decor. Has a nice patio if you choose to dine outside. ( plus one star for scenery) We grabbed a pub table and sat down. Our menus were given, but there was a spill of overloaded chili oil in a container on the table which caused our menus to be greasy and we touched it. Yikes. No biggy theres napkins on the table, we cleaned it right way. We ordered the B2 combo pho and i got a Vietnamese ice coffee. Our food arrives in a few minutes. Fast service. Now they had 2 size bowls. Reg or large. Not what we expected in size. Their size is different. Pho island's reg. Is a small everywhere eles. Their Large is a med. Just a heads up. But the pho was good. I didnt like the ice coffee. It tastes like powder? Not my thing. Service was attentive (plus one star) over all i rate 3 stars. The place is good, expect to add $4 more to each item to what you normally pay at a normal pho shop. read more

Enjoyed a delicious lunch on opening day. We were seated quickly and our order was immediately taken. Food took a while to come which was understandable considering it was packed and everyone was ordering a lot. Overall, enjoyable experience. Salt and pepper chicken wings: 8.5/10 - Juicy and delicious - Not too salty Grilled Pork Bahn Mi: 8.5/10 - Great flavor and texture - Huge portion Shaking Beef: 7.5/10 - Taste was on point - A bit tough for filet Korean Short Rib: 8.5/10 - Very flavorful (sauce and char) Garlic Noodle: 5/10 - Too sweet - Not enough garlic flavor read more

Their grilled steak pho is absolutely delicious. The meat comes on the side not in the bowl already grilled. The pho is delicious without the meat or added condiments/sauces but these elevate it. It is a little pricey at $18 for the large ($16 for the small) but it's huge and filling. The place is newer ownership and clean and tidy. Service is fast and attentive throughout the meal. They have tons of other dishes I want to try but so far I keep ordering this pho and not disappointed. Bonus, the have Vietnamese coffee and jelly, my absolute favorite. read more

Great Pho restaurant. I've known them from the Stockton location, and I always have great experience here. It's great to hear they open their third location and with more items added to the menu. My ultimate favorite is Bun Bo Hue, which is spicy beef noodle soup, it's so rich in the flavor and now it's officially on the menu. They have their bar now with a variety of mocktails, beer and wine. Brandon is a great bartender, he delivers great drinks and awesome customer service. The place is super clean with great music and cozy atmosphere. They were pretty packed in their grand opening but still delivered their greatest customer service and delicious food. Awesome food and customer service, I will definitely come back for more. read more

Greeted immediately and a carafe of lemon water arrived promptly. I ordered pot stickers and regular phó. The potstickers went very hot, flavor ok. The phó was excellent. The meat served on the side as well as mint, sprouts and jalapeños. The broth was delicious and hot, the noodles plentiful. Casual atmosphere and average pricing. Will return. read more

My first time here with my 2 sisters for dinner. We ordered 2 regular Pho and 1 large Pho and Spring Rolls and calamari is only 10 pieces is rip off. It was the pricey. We received a bowl of Pho. A regular bowl is a size of SMALL. I have a large bowl is a REGULAR bowl. The service is too busy, we had wait to ask them what we need...perhaps wait for 5 to 10 minutes. We will never go there again!!! read more

This location I'm very happy they are very good service and very good food and very clean I'll come every day thanks you guy good service

Fast service and clean restaurant. I ordered a chicken ban mi. It was good but lacked the jalapeños and possibly pate. I ordered unsweetened ice tea which wasn't any that I call ice tea. It was sweetened. I also ordered salt and pepper calamari which wasn't any ok but again lacked the flavor I'm used to. No spice or garlic and the calamari was extremely tough. Although I won't order these things again I might go try other dishes. read more

My husband, my son and I went to this place today and it was great! The atmosphere and the food was amazing. Very flavorful! I got the grilled chicken with garlic rice and pork egg rolls. It came with a little salad and chicken broth. We also got some chicken wings and cheese wonton and it was all very good. My husband had the chicken pho with a Vietnamese sandwich and my son had the Korean short ribs with steamed rice and garlic noodles. He also had a Vietnamese sandwich. Overall this is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Modesto and we've been to quite a few. read more

Pho Island III - Grilled chicken, garlic rice and pork egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

The pho ga broth was flavorful and the chicken was tender and not dry. The only miss was they didn't have egg noodles (better for diabetics) for the pho soup. The waiter explained why they don't offer egg noodles which was informative and even recommended another restaurant that offers egg noodles. The addition of fried garlic was a nice touch. The restaurant was extremely busy and the kitchen was slow getting orders out which is understandable since the place was packed. The salt and pepper tofu is delicious. I would definitely order this appetizer again. The chicken banh mi sandwich was tasty and fresh. The changes made to the decor with multiple televisions and booths were a nice addition. Can't wait to return and try some of the other menu items. read more

I was in town to visit some relatives and ended up here for lunch on the Sunday I was leaving. The service was great and the restaurant just felt very comfortable and cozy. We started with the shrimp spring rolls. They (and the peanut dipping sauce) were delicious! There's nothing like a spring roll with fresh ingredients including crispy lettuce. I tried the vegetable pho and it was equally delicious. I will definitely be going back there on my next trip to Modesto. read more

Visited yesterday when they had their 40% off sale & it was super packed--so I decided to come in today for their 30% off sale instead. The wait wasn't too long for a table--I was seated after 20-30 minutes of waiting, despite being full house. Got my food within 20 minutes as well. Here's what I got Pho Grilled Ribeye-Eye: Flavorful Soup, good ratio of meat & noodles. Noodles were to my liking and the meat was killer. Tip: add 2 seconds worth of sriracha and the broth just became even more amazing. Overall 10/10 Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings: Big wings. Juicy and not dry. Good amount of seasoning. Classic wings, can't go wrong with them. Overall 8.5/10 Bloody Mary: The Bartender can make a killer Bloody Mary, that's all I can say. 10/10 The place is huge, clean, and perfect for larger gatherings. The service could've been just a little better but it's their grand opening, what do you expect? Honestly, let them get settled in and this will be the best Pho in Modesto.. maybe even the 209. read more

Had several great meals here. Recommend the fish sauce wings. Little umami and a little sweet. Steamed pork wontons were great as well as the sauce. Spring rolls are fresh. C3 oysters with yuzu I highly recommend. Sliced rare fillet mignon pho is very good. The drinks are on point. I don't have a single complaint. The staff is incredibly attentive. Rome and Brandon are top tier hosts. Wear Can't recommend this place enough read more
