Can accommodate large group , indoor dining only . We were bombarded by flies sitting in front of the window area . We were constantly swatting the flies from our face and table area . we sat down right after the employee wiped the tables , it smelled like old stagnant rags . I used my baby wipes to re clean the stench . We liked the sauté pork spring rolls and the chicken wings salt pepper garlic sauce . Disappointed with our pho broth, lacking the savory beef aroma . My youngest and my friend didn't touch their pho after two bite. They stated it's not good , left most of the bowl full. My other daughter ordered the D6 Korean short ribs with rice and fried egg rolls , her Aunt and myself had a taste of her ribs, it has a nice flavor. Unfortunately my daughter found 3 short strand black hair in separate times while eating. I asked why she didn't bring it to my attention, she thought it was hers, when she found it 2 more times she was sure it's not her hair . I reinstated your hair is long past your waist. LOL!!! I waved over one of the male employee he apologized and offered my daughter two options, to remove the food off the tab or remake a new plate.
I started going here in Stockton and been to Manteca and Modesto and the Banh mi sandwich was my favorite in the valley but the last two times a lot less meat and to much cilantro it's such a disappointment I realize cost have gone up but don't loose your quality I want a good sandwich at any price
Got here before 8:40pm on a Thursday night. We were told we can only order out and only soup. The restaurant is supposed to close at 9pm. So we got a large Pho Gai. And we decided to eat in the car since we were very hungry. First taste of the chicken, the familiar taste swamped over me and I yelped "Costco chicken" . The chicken tastes exactly like the Costco rotisserie chicken! I can't believe this chicken pho costs more than $17 and the chicken is from Costco. The soup was a bit salty. Since our car parked in front of the restaurant, at 8:58pm , we saw all the waitresses came out and locked the door! So know that this is not a place you can get in before 9pm and still be served. They start cleaning up at 8:30pm and rush to close their door! Definitely won't come back!
I will never return. I walked over here to order something food for the lady who owns the house, who was in the hospital. She wanted pho with shrimp and beef and also, a bubble tea. I told the person that was one order. She rang up the pho, which was nearly $20 for the smaller size. I asked her again for the tea. I ordered my banh mi and put both on my card since the lady didn't give me enough cash. I believe the tea was nearly $7 and the banh mi was almost $11. For some reason, I wasn't given a receipt for either order, and I'm not very trusting the first time I order at a restaurant. The pho was given to me in pieces and given to me almost immediately. I was informed that they were making my sandwich when they handed me the tea. The sandwich was handed to me and I wondered where the rest of it was. I'd never seen banh mi so small. I managed to carry everything without a problem. At the house, I assembled the pho and gave the lady the bean sprouts and whatnot to add to it. I tried my sandwich and it didn't taste like anything I'd ever had. They had some sweet sauce on it. The lady didn't like the pho but they seemed to use good ingredients. I was wishing that I still lived in San Jose with some of the best Vietnamese food in the country.
From out of town and dropped in to try. 4 stars for the food. Service-wise they weren't super attentive and ambiance was okay/average for pho restaurants. Broth was flavorful and I had never tried pho with grilled sirloin before. Added interesting flavors to the broth - charred, caramelized, salty, sweet. Meat was very tender and good quality. Kids had the chicken broth and said it was a bit too sweet.
I wish I could give them five stars. Egg rolls are finger size and brought up to the table with a lot of oil, mostly carrots inside.
Average pho spot. Came here when there was only one other couple. I was seated right away, given ice water right away, both of which i appreciated. However, my food order came out wrong. The restaurant was so slow that staff was on their phones not paying attention to the two tables that had customers (mine being one of them). There was a lady standing at the register ready with her tables and payment but no one helped her. After a bit she walked back to her table and just waited for someone to notice her. Another customer finally came in after the two tables were finished eating. As far as the restaurant, it was pretty spacious and looked clean. The food wasnt anything special though, just your typical pho. Would come back if I'm craving pho, but I definitely wouldnt have to come back here otherwise.
We were seated quickly and received our food very quickly. The waiter was super friendly. The inside is well decorated and has the smell of Vietnamese food as soon as you walk in. The pho was pretty standard and the milk tea was soooo good. Worth a stop.
This place is honestly one of a kind. I enjoyed this restaurant a lot! Pho Island has many options, so diverse.. it will not disappoint you! Me and my family came to review the phó, and we were amazed. Service was fast, and the environment was peaceful and neat. Its called Pho Island so obviously we ordered phó. Broth was clean, flavorful, and warmed my soul. I ascended to heaven when I sipped the broth. Yeah, these people know the tricks. Just give me the recipe at this point! The side of bean sprouts, and other necessities to enhance the phó was also great! But personally, this phó was so good, you don't even need to add other toppings. And though we only came here to try out the phó, we left the restaurant full and happy, more than ready to come back again. Also, THEY HAVE MILK TEAS?! And the Pho Island grand opening in Modesto had a grand deal of 40% on EVERYTHING. Perhaps these deals will come in Manteca, and are definitely worth the hype. So, stop by, eat to your heart's content, and enjoy a delicious cup of boba on the side! Expect me and my family to come back and obliterate the food... :))
Love me my PHO! From the staff being very helpful and fast! My family and I love pho island specially in this cold weather season nothing else compares to a hot bowl of pho! We've tried other pho places in Manteca but nothing compares to the taste they have going on! Highly recommended!
Very nice authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They have a large variety of food and drinks to choose from. Portions are great and prices are reasonable. This is my go-to place when I'm craving Vietnamese food. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Wait staff are very prompt and friendly.
Grand opening so we got 30% off on December 3 on all food and drinks. We ordered the Tiger Milk Tea, Vietnamese coffee, Pho Grilled Beef Ribeye, Vermicelli with grilled pork and pork eggrolls, a side of garlic noodles and then the Grilled Beef Korean Short Rib to go. Tiger milk tea had a strong honey flavor which I enjoyed. Tends to be on the sweeter side so beware, and boba was slightly hard. The Vietnamese coffee was good but also more on the sweeter side than that classic bitterness that I enjoy with cafe sua da. I'd get the tiger milk tea again but would pass on the coffee. Pho Grilled Beef Ribeye was just plain pho with a side of cooked marinated meat, which I've never seen before but I assume it's on the menu to cater to the people in the area who might not like the traditional way of pho where the meat is cooked in the broth fairly plain. The grilled ribeye was GOOD! Juicy and flavorful, however it was on the thinner side. The pho broth was extremely lacking in flavor, it was a plain broth with no essence of the usual components of pho. I would pass on getting pho here personally, I'm from San Jose and I'd say we have some pretty amazing pho there (and homemade of course). But if you're the type of person that likes to drown their broth in lime, sriracha, chili oil, and hoisin then you'll like this spot as the broth is simple so you can dress it up. Vermicelli with grilled pork and pork eggrolls was a good dish, meat was flavorful and eggrolls were crispy. I really enjoyed the side of garlic noodles! Had a good bite to them and really garlicky. The Korean short rib was overcooked so it was a little tough to chew when we got it to go and needed more flavor so I'd pass on this rice plate. I'd come back for the garlic noodles and probably a side of marinated meat, a vermicelli bowl if I'm craving it but I can make that at home. This spot is really small and the tables and chairs are way too close to each other it was hard to go to the bathroom and not disturb any other tables. The service was okay, you can tell that the staff is super stressed out handling a grand opening in such a small restaurant. We met the owners and they were really nice.
They never fail or miss everything is always good! We've gotten rice plates, pho and appetizers. Soo yummy coming from someone whose gone to all the Vietnamese spots in Stockton
Went on a Friday night, I was wanting Vietnamese food and this was nearby. At 7 PM we were seated right away. Place was clean and the server very friendly and helpful. We asked the waiter for help on what to order and he recommended the grilled beef. The broth that came with the rice plate was very flavorful. I opted for light vermicelli noodles with extra salad and they were very accommodating. We were surprised at how flavorful our food was, great portions and prices. We even got a Blue Moon on tap. We had seen the low ratings and had decided to go somewhere else if the Restaurant didn't look good. We were so glad we stayed. The Hubbs who never cleans his plate, finished everything, including the salad and rice. read more

This is a cute and quaint place and the food here is delicious! The staff is very attentive and the service is wonderful! My husband and I are visiting from Las Vegas and we love it! The place is steady busy and there are many places to sit. The pork egg rolls (I had asked for lettuce as well) and it is delicious!!! So much so, I didn't take a picture because it was gone. I'll definitely come back here to get my pho fix. Thank you read more

Great pho place! We stopped here on Thursday for lunch since we were in the area waiting for a place to open. Food was delicious and service was good too. We ordered the pho special combo, grilled pork chop and grilled beef rib-eye rice plates. The rice plates comes with chicken broth soup. Portions here are good and the food taste delicious. Besides soup and rice plates, this place offers only 3 banh mi sandwiches. For drinks they have red/white wine, beer, smoothie drinks, boba drinks, coffee, soda and tea. read more
We were craving Pho, so we stopped in for lunch. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. The waitress seemed to be in training, and she was accompanied by someone else to make sure she was able to input the order correctly. The service overall was pretty good. For appetizers, we ordered the shrimp spring rolls and the salt and pepper chicken wings. I ended up ordering the regular size grilled rib eye pho. The spring rolls were very good and fresh tasting, and came with a nice peanut sauce. The salt and pepper chicken wings looked and smelled great when they came out, although they lacked a bit of seasoning. They came with a nice tangy dipping sauce, but I was expecting a bit more flavor, and while they were not bad, they're probably not something that I would order again. The regular size pho is the right size after eating the appetizers. It was a good amount without being overwhelming. It came with a good amount of grilled rib eye on the side and plenty of green onions floating in the broth. The broth itself was really good, and not very oily. It had a deep flavor and a nice clear color. The grilled rib eye was also very good. If I'm craving pho, I'd definitely come back. read more

Pho Island had a grand opening in Manteca on Sunday, and I made it a point to visit. I've been to their first location in Stockton and found their food to be flavorful and fresh. Their second location matched the first. You can find them in the parking lot from Safeway and Walmart on Main Street, it's taken over for another Vietnamese Restaurant. They had a steady stream of traffic, but avoided service problems with prompt service and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Tasty on the sweet side and consistent with our first experience with them, it's closer and easier for us to visit. All in all, another place we'll go to happily in Manteca. read more

Hello Alex,…

I came here on a whim. Because of work I drop my Manteca. And I'm so glad I did! I live in Sacramento and we have a lot of bomb Vietnamese food out here. And I would say my favorite thing here is the banh mi! It's a bit on the pricey side about 2 sandwiches for 20.03. But now Everytime I come to Manteca I have to drop by here and order a grill chicken and a grill pork sandwich together. Comes out fresh and hot. And most time I have banh mi I have to ask for extra sauce. Because it's so dry. Nope! Not here! But it's like saucey enough to where I don't have to ask for sauce. But it's no over drenched. Definitely a place to try when in the area! The noodles were okay. read more
