The spring roll
Elizabeth S.

Stopped by for late lunch . The place was very spacious. Lots of tables and chairs. The server he was ok. We ordered pho soup with ox tail. The soup tasted good but the oxtail meat was so hard. It wasn't pressurized so it we have to asked for a knife to cut it. The spring rolls with shrimp and pork were ok. It tasted average. The size was bigger compared to other Vietnamese restaurant we've been. The peanut sauce has coach's on top so it was spicy to taste. Overall it was ok.

Came here for the first time with my family and I have to say we had a great experience. Food was delicious we had trouble only choosing one item, I ordered the chicken pho and beef spring rolls. Both were amazing I love how the pho had veggies in it, very nice touch. The staff is so nice and sweet we will definitely be returning.

So good!

I was in town and had to stay nearby and I decided to try this restaurant. It was pretty busy for a Friday which I understood why it took a while to get my order to go but overall the soup was amazing. Great taste, and the staff was very friendly.

Shrimp and garlic rice
Genny M.

I gave this place a chance because I was staying at the hotel next door and didn't feel like driving anywhere. I'm soooo glad I did! The wait staff are very friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I like that each table has hand sanitizer and wipes on them for guests to use. They have a big selection of dishes. Tonight I got the shrimp and garlic rice plate. I asked if the shrimp came with shells, which it did. I asked if it could be substituted with other shrimp where I didn't have to deal with unshelling the shrimp. They happily accommodated. The food was very tasty and fresh. Give them a try!

Jackfruits

I ordered 2 iced Vietnamese coffees to go and found peeled, ready to eat jackfruits in a cup for $5, which I also bough for to go. It is a sit-down restaurant, and I am intrigued to try their food next time I'm in the area. The Vietnamese iced coffee came in one size, large, it was refreshingly cold and delcious, and it will definitely wake you up. They also have other fruits as well. The jackfruits were sweet and perfect to eat for a quick snack. The man that took my order was kind and polite. When I came in, there were only a few customers, but it was before lunch hours, and as I was walking out with my drinks and snack, a big group came in.

This place has been in Rancho for awhile and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more hype. It's a mom and pop type of establishment that serves more than just the typical pho and rice dishes. They serve Vietnamese hot pot as well as a ton of specials that they posted all over the store. Portion sizes are good and prices are generally affordable. The four choices are comparable to those you would get in little Saigon. They just need to tidy up the place a little bit but food is always good. If you like Vietnamese food try this place out

I think it was number #21 pho wiyh meatball raresteak and brisket.

What amazing service very quiet and peaceful inside super inviting there's almost no one here. Prices are really good as well and the food was great. Two things I will say I wish I could give 4.5 star for the texture on the pho noodles not bad just a bit different than I'm used to and then the other would be some of the different cuts of beef were a bit less in quality, the meatballs are large and good flavor also the rare steak and the brisket were fine. I can't tell which cut it was but it was that was a bit tough. But no doubt we will definitely be back here again. I feel Like we found anpther hidden gem. What an amazing place I still think they deserve five stars because of just how polite they were and the fact that they have so many options.

I wanted some breakfast. I got a hi tieu wonton.. The noodles and the soup was okay. The flavor lacked a lot, I should have stuck to a bowl of pho instead. The wontons were the fried ones and they put them into the soup. I was disappointed with the wontons. They were weirdly textured on the outside, and the meat had a weird flavor... The service was quick and they were friendly. The restaurant was a good size with lots of tables. I came really early, and couldn't judge the ambiance, I am sure it's a family friendly environment.

( 2025 ) It's got a kick $15.00

Very quiet Saturday to have lunch here. Maybe it's after the holidays ? It's a spacious place with big menu. . My husband had the beef soup noodles. He said it was a bit chewy. My rice dish was ok; rice was a bit too "old" cuz it was a bit hard on certain bites.

#34 Filet Mignon Pho

I've been to this place many times, and every visit to Code Ninjas Rancho Cucamonga on the same plaza always includes a stop here. This time, I came with two friends I hadn't seen in a while. The servers are typically young people, possibly family members, and the grandparents (I assume) handle the cooking. The service is always great for a family-run business, and it's a local mom-and-pop spot where you can always count on getting a table. During the summer, there's no AC, so expect to have fans on and it'll be a bit warm, but I personally don't mind -- I've eaten pho in the summer without AC before! I like to pair my meal with a Vietnamese coffee, but they also have a great selection of fruit smoothies. My wife is more adventurous and tries different dishes when we come together. If you're looking to support local businesses, this is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner -- yes, they serve breakfast, which many Vietnamese places don't! Definitely worth a visit.

Shrimp spring rolls (2are missing) (;

This place is definitely a hidden gem you want authentic Vietnamese food you have to come here service is awesome. Food is delicious. Everything taste as you think it would taste and more textures are amazing. The sauces are divine. The wait time is close to zero. Such an amazing place and wonderful people you have to come here. Don't pass it up if you're looking for Vietnamese food

Really solid pho spot! The chicken pho had such a clean, flavorful broth, and the noodles were just the right texture. The place is small but cozy--get there early to grab a seat.

Beef hotpot $40 option

My mom came here for a Pho and she said it was pretty good lol; It is Viet Mom approved :) - The Pho here is pretty expensive to what I am used to back in OC, $15 for a bowl of pho?? Usually it's less than $10-$12 for a large bowl (could feed 2 people large) in Garden Grove, but it is Rancho Cucamonga so I can reason with the price point. When I came here, the interior reminds me of how the Pho places in Garden Grove look like. It's comforting in its own way. However, the rest of the stuff on the menu was very disappointing. Beef hot pot/ Lau 2/5: We ordered Lau or Vietnamese hot pot and it was $40, they said it could feed 2-3 but it did not lol, we were still hungry after it. And the ingredients used did not equate to $40 worth. It was good nonetheless but it was not $40 good. We all agreed that, it's more worth to order 3-4 bowls of Pho instead of this atrocity. Anyways, the broth was great, very flavorful. It came with thin egg noodles, tendons, celery and bok choy. Ginger Chicken and Garlic Fried Rice $15 4/5: For $15, this is on the smaller size. I wouldn't say this is family style size. The garlic rice seems to be inconsistant with the dishes because the rice that came with this dish was a lot drier than the salmon steak. It was still very good tho, the chicken has.l sweet sour taste from the pickled daikon and carrots. Since we were still hungry, we ordered the salmon steak because the picture looked really appetizing. To our surprise it looked NOTHING like the picture on the menu. The picture made it look so juice and flavorful, what came out was FRIED salmon, which sucked the moisture away from the meat. Salmon Steak 2/5: it catfished us lol. So ya, the salmon came out fried with fish sauce dipping. It came with garlic fried rice, which was probably the best thing we got so far. It came with the same pickle carrots and daikon with a side of cucumbers and tomatoes. Probably not the best dish here. Just come here for the pho, more worth imo

Summer specials !

Papa Zhang's BBQ & Hot Pot is a great value -- we came for the $19.95 all-you-can-eat hot pot and…read moreit was good, not amazing, but definitely worth it for the price. The variety was solid across the board: plenty of vegetable options, a decent meat selection, and a sauce bar that was fully stacked and self-serve. Made it easy to build your own bowl exactly how you like it. The soup base options were good too. I noticed other reviews mention bad service or long wait times, but since most things are self-serve, that wasn't really an issue for us -- we came at noon on a weekday and everything was fine. One thing to note -- they don't have a separate kids price, so keep that in mind if you're bringing little ones. Overall, solid AYCE hotpot spot for the price, even if it's not a standout.

I decided to try Papa Zhang's BBQ & Hot Pot after seeing a promotional video on Facebook that made…read morethe restaurant look amazing. Unfortunately, our family's experience was a huge disappointment. The restaurant was nearly empty, with plenty of open tables, yet we were asked to wait 25 minutes. It was already close to 8 PM! After finally being seated, we found that the dishes and bowls were not even ready because the staff was still washing them. We paid nearly $46 per person for the premium dining option, expecting fresh seafood and good-quality food. However, the seafood didn't seem fresh, and the shrimp and squid appeared to be in poor condition. The promotional video showed a variety of seafood, including oysters and mussels, but I didn't see those items being served during our visit. The Wagyu beef took far too long to arrive every time we ordered it, and the soup broth tasted like plain water with almost no flavor. Even the kids' food was disappointing. The French fries were so underwhelming that I could make better ones at home! For $46 per person, I expected much better food quality and service. Between the long wait, unprepared dishes, slow service, disappointing food, and questionable seafood freshness, this experience was absolutely not worth the money. The promotional video created high expectations, but the actual experience was the complete opposite. Our family will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant at this price.

I ordered extra spicy, but unfortunately it wasn't spicy at all by my standards... probably not even a 2/10. I asked for additional chili afterward, but it still didn't add much heat or flavor to the broth. The pricing also feels a little high compared to similar spots. Here it's $17.59/lb with a 1.2 lb minimum, while places like YGF are around $13.99/lb with a 1 lb minimum. Rice and unlimited drinks are included though, which helps justify some of the difference, but personally I don't really drink sweet drinks, so that perk didn't add much value for me. They also offer regular mini hot pots if you don't want to build your own, which is a nice option. The beef hot pot was previously my go to but meat was too little. Overall, the concept is good, but the broth flavor and spice level could definitely be improved, especially for something labeled extra spicy. That said, if you're in Ontario and don't want to drive far for malatang, it's still a convenient local option.

There was also a fresh fruit bar and a small selection of desserts, and the meal even came with a complimentary personal cup of ice cream. The restaurant is large, filled with plenty of tables, and very clean--everything feels brand new. While the Latina hostess wearing black spandex pants couldn't manage a smile even though we mentioned we were first-time visitors, the Asian servers were wonderfully kind. To the business owner - Thank you for the delicious meal and the thoughtful ways to elevate our ramen.
