    12. Noodle & Beef Broth Pho

    The pho was so good I didn't even eat the noodles and drank all of the broth. 10/10 if you prefer the light tasting broth, this place is it! I haven't tried any of the other food but by far this place is my favorite.

    The Chef's Pho Ontario CA Date of visit: 10/25/25 (Saturday) at 6:00pm ( 2 and a half hours before closing) Atmosphere: Reminded me of cozy Asian grandparents home, it felt so inviting and my boyfriend and I decided to dine in rather than taking our food to go. The smell inside this establishment was divine to say the least. Food: My boyfriend and I ordered the pho, the steak and garlic noodles, and a Vietnamese coffee. Food ratings: Pho: 7/10, broth was light, but still delicious Vietnamese coffee: 8/10, its dark liquid appearance seemed a bit intimidating at first as we are use to other Vietnamese coffee we've tried appearing lighter in color. Flavor was great, quite addicting actually and I LOVED the aftertaste for some reason. Steak and garlic noodles: 7/10, flavors of both the steak and garlic noodles appeared to be on the lighter side in regards to flavor. I love strong and bold flavors, and I think the chimichurri sauce helped with this. The steak was slightly on the dryer side and didn't seem to be as seasoned. Staff: Friendly! And our food came no more than maybe 10 minutes after we ordered despite it being a little bit busy between dine in orders and door dashers picking up food to go.

    I love you Chefs Pho you are the best Family Owned authentic food! My life has changed for the better here

    Such an excellent place to get lunch at on my break. Fast service and high quality food. The staff is so attentive and the food is delicious. Love it here!

    I've tried pho all over the city, and this place is the one I keep coming back to. The broth is rich, deep, and clearly simmered with care -- not greasy, not bland, just perfectly balanced. You can taste the time and love in it. The noodles are always cooked just right, the portions are generous, and the meat is tender and high quality. Add in fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime, and a little chili, and it's absolute comfort in a bowl. Service is fast and friendly, prices are fair, and the place has that no-frills, authentic vibe that tells you the food is going to be legit. Whether you're fighting a cold, nursing a hangover, or just craving something cozy, this is the spot. If you're searching for the best pho in town -- stop searching. This is it.

    This place never dissappoints and always hits the spot! Lotta tasty sweets inside apart from the pho.

    My favorite pho spot to go to when I'm craving . I always get the large chicken pho with extra noodles . It's always the best !! Inside is very spacious and service is amazing

    It's officially soup weather, and the rain and cold has brought with it the craving for something hot and delicious. Enter The Chef's Pho. Once upon a time, I lived in NYC and food delivery was as common as a burger joint drive-thru is here in LA. I don't know why it took so long, but it's here now. Thank goodness for Uber Eats and Doordash. I can now have my favorite Brisket and Raw Flank Steak Pho delivered to my door. The broth is still hot and exquisitely seasoned. The noodles, meat and garnishments all successfully deployed. The egg rolls hot, crispy and crunchy. The only thing better is eating it right then and there, but home is dry, warm and cozy. Anyway, who wants to go out in the rain? In L.A.? I'm good.

    This place looks pretty simple inside but the quality of food and service are exceptional!!! I highly recommend to try a short rib beef pho! OMG! It's just a next level! So delicious, fresh, meat was so tender and juicy! My favorite spot so far in Ontario!

    My son likes the steak and rice without all the trimmings.
    Ed W.

    Reasonable prices, generous portions and great flavor. Clean dinning area and restrooms. Kids love the little robot that brings the food to the table and they also love the pho and the filet mignon with rice. A pho bowl js $12-$13.... Can't beat that. Service is also very attentive and courteous. Great family place.

    6. Steak Pho
    Sarah M.

    I ordered from The Chef's Pho through Uber Eats and was so impressed! The steak pho was absolutely delicious -- tender slices of steak, rich and flavorful broth, and fresh toppings that made every bite comforting and satisfying. The portion was generous, and everything was packaged perfectly so it arrived hot and ready to enjoy. They included all the classic condiments on the side -- fresh basil, lime wedges, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and hoisin and sriracha sauces -- so I could customize it exactly how I like. Everything was crisp, vibrant, and clearly fresh. Definitely one of the best pho bowls I've had delivered, and I'll be ordering again soon!

    Pho Chin Nam Gau Gan
    Cuc N.

    Little delicious Vietnamese shop that has a variety of Vietnamese and Asian fusion dishes to suit anyone's cravings for a group. Their garlic noodles are decent but slightly on the mild side. Chewy and soft. Pricey compared to their other menu items. Taro smoothie was delicious and addictively sweet! Pho was delicious all around! Broth was flavorful and slightly on the sweeter side. They have a spicy broth version with Thai chilis that is actually really spicy so be careful when you give a level! They have a lot of types of meat for pho including fatty brisket!! 3 types of pho noodles for you too. Robot server carrying out all the pho orders. Minimizes accidents and looks cool and entertaining for kids. Pros: -good and fast service -two coed restrooms -delicious food -variety of menu items -broth is delicious and meat is tender and soft Cons: -slightly pricy garlic noodles

    Corn matcha
    Linh N.

    The drinks at Chef are pretty good overall -- nothing tastes watered down and the flavors are well balanced. My favorites have to be the matcha drinks, especially the banana matcha and corn matcha. The matcha flavor is clear and not overly sweet, even for someone like me who likes sweet drinks. They're creamy and really good. And the best part is, I don't even have to go far for good matcha anymore."

We ordered two bowls of the Pho Dac Biet & Ontario Combination Appetizer plate. Everything was out pretty speedy to the table! The soup hit just right for a morning meal. The portions here are VERY GENEROUS. It had plenty of tasty meat and lots of noodles (cooked a bit al-dente for my taste, but it's different for everyone). I think my boyfriend and I could've honestly shared one bowl and be satisfied. It was not a bad price either for a huge bowl. I might be biased since I love huge portions for an affordable price, but I thought it was a delicious bowl. The appetizers were solid, I would've liked a bit more portion as the egg rolls and shrimp rolls were a skinny. If I lived closer I would probably frequent this place a lot more, but this will probably be the place I go to when I fly out of ONT. Way better than other spots that I've tried in the IE so far.

We brought my brother who has Celiac because previous reviews said it was gluten free. Be aware!!! The pho noodles are gluten free but the pho bone broth is NOT. He had to get it with veggie broth. Please note that the veggie broth does NOT come seasoned. We had to ask for salt on the side to season it ourselves. I'm not sure if they forgot to season it before bringing it to us, esp because the staff knew fish sauce was gluten free. It was honestly very disappointing. There was also a staff member who seemed new at the job that kept saying incorrect things without asking someone that knew more. He first told us that there was no gluten free menu option, which was later corrected by another more knowledgeable server. Make sure to ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing!

The highlight of the meal was definitely the pork ribs--they were super tender and practically fell off the bone. The sauce they came with was absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. Overall, great service and some standout dishes--just a little patience (and maybe some extra seasoning) goes a long way here

The shop is also very spacious and seating is pretty comfortable for a relaxed business. They pack their boxes pretty full with food, very generous with the portions. I got the chicken combo (katsu and chicken), and my bf got the beef combo (which comes with 2 types of ribs and this grilled beef). Service was pretty quick as well. Starting off with the chicken, it was pretty standard. Although, I actually liked the katsu the least bc the batter was kinda whatever? It's a bit too airy and flimsy, doesn't have the right crunch and doesn't stick with the meat. I basically just ate the meat from the inside of the katsu cause it felt like wasted calories on the fried parts of the katsu. The teriyaki chicken was alright, wish it was grilled more, but pretty decent. Tried my bf's plate, the bbq meat was pretty good, it actually reminded me of bulgogi. The short ribs were also pretty good, and the giant rib was also pretty good as well! The meat would fall off so easily. I feel like the beef plate tasted better in quality. Although, my bf mentioned that the marinade for everything was generally pretty sweet, which he didn't like so much. I didn't mind it, but I do notice that generally everything was indeed on the sweeter side. The mac salad and rice were also quite nice. Easy place to get quick food with pretty good quality meats (except the katsu probably). The vibes of the restaurant are also very welcoming and relaxed.

I would definitely eat my fair share of this dish. My only quibble is the "other" stuff oveshadows the lamb by a lot. I always thought with mixes like this it should be 60% protein and 40% other stuff. This is getting into serious Chinese stir-fry territory into the 33/67. That's one of the reasons I don't like Chinese food as much as some, because the meat seems to be lacking. The service was good. The woman behind the counter took my order competently and got the food out quickly. The one customer concession they lacked is the one that usually annoys me in that they sell cans instead of a fountain drink. I found myself in that limbo again where I was thirsty after my first can and I had to decide if it was worth it to pay for yet another soda. Lastly, the ambiance was good. There's ample space here without feeling crowded to the tables next to you. I definitely get the sense you could relax with a book here after your meal. But, overall, even though the food tastes great, the lack of equitable protein for the price and the lack of refills on a soda make this place only okay. If u ever come back I think one or both of those aspects would have to change.

FYI my fault for not checking my order before I left, but it was sealed in a bag I couldn't check. They also didn't provide any utensils, the least they could have done was ask if I need them. How will I eat it, unless I'm going home? Disappointing...
