    The Chef's Pho Ontario CA Date of visit: 10/25/25 (Saturday) at 6:00pm ( 2 and a half hours before closing) Atmosphere: [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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!

    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

    Packaging.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing better is eating it right then and there, but home is dry, warm and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway, who wants to go out in the rain? In L.A.? I'm good.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place looks pretty simple inside but the quality of food and service are exceptional!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean dinning area and restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kids love the little robot that brings the food to the table and they also love the pho and the filet mignon with rice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A pho bowl js $12-$13.... Can't beat that. Service is also very attentive and courteous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great family place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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

    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

    Pho Dac Biet

    The Chef's Pho is chef's kiss! This local family owned spot is serving up some authentic Vietnamese food for the IE community. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a good amount of seating with about 8-10 tables for seating. Wifey and I came through for dinner around 7pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have some beautiful designs and artwork throughout along with all the Vietnamese staples ranging from appetizers, rice, fried rice, pho, egg noodle, and garlic noodle dishes. We opted to try the Egg Noodle Combination Soup (Mi Dac Biet) and the Pho Combination Soup (Pho Dac Biet). Both dishes were amazing, comforting to the soul, and had those authentic rich and hearty flavors with every bite and sip. Overall, I can definitely see why the community packs this place out! All of the staff here are very friendly and efficient. We will be back forsure next time we are in the area. Come stop by to support a local family owned restaurant. The Chef's Pho is Viet gang approved!

    Charbroiled Pork Spring Rolls / Heo Nuong
    Alma A.

    I have been coming here for over a year and a half and I always forget to take photos of the food for a review because the food is that delicious. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My sister and I came here on Christmas Day and it was busy, but the staff said hello right away and gave us a booth to sit at while we waited for our pickup order. They even threw in a free dessert! My sister ordered pho and fried rice, which she said were 5/5. I ordered a pork bahn mi sandwich, pork spring rolls and a pork with vermicelli noodles plate. The pork is flavorful and not chewy. I have eaten the pho from here and the broth is so flavorful and tasty. I have also eaten egg rolls too and those are also fantastic. If you're looking for a friendly place for Vietnamese food then look no further!

One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

This place wasnt packed at all. I arrived on a Tuesday around 7pm. Once inside I saw someone ordering at the register and noticed they have big touch screens that you can order at so I just ordered there. They also allow you to put notes on the order in case you want to make any modifications. We ordered the poke nachos and the beef combo. The poke nachos was BOMB.COM. it was loaded! Normally I've had poke nachos with wonton chips but this was unique because it had tortilla chips. It held up pretty nice with all the sauce they put on it. The beef combo was okay. It needed more flavor. Luckily they alsp give you a teryaki sauce too. The Mac salad was also very tasty, it had a garlic taste. Id probably come back for the nachos. That was delicious. They also have tvs playing sports so its a nice area to just eat and relax. Great spot!

Next is the ownership and hospitality, they accept phone orders and are always so welcoming to their Customers :) Everything is made fresh so expect to wait a little but it wont take that long. Lastly I want to shoutout the business name and how it actually ties to their menu (which is super easy btw). They have a wide variety of sauces, all are super good you cant go wrong and if you ever want to sample one theyll let you try them so you get what you want. Also sidenote they give out free miso soup when you get a plate which is nice for the stomach after a nice big meal. Keep it up guys, please dont franchise lol!!!

Incredibly friendly and very helpful with the menu in sorting out which sauce pairs best with the chicken katsu and they offered up a ton of sauce samples so we can really figure out what we like the best. The teriyaki was a little on the sweet side for me, but the blue lagoon and basil sauces were delicious (even though the blue coloring messed with my head a bit lol) The chicken katsu was delicious. So fresh! It stayed crunchy even taking it to go, which is a huge plus. As great as it started, they definitely have some small areas that they could improve on. Both the udon and the white rice tasted overcooked. The textures were off a bit. The fruit salad had lots of good fruit options, but every single grape had a small stem attached to it still. Is that a huge deal? No. Is it annoying to pick off or out of your mouth? Yes. The regular salad and the veggies were almost all cabbage. I ordered the salad assuming it was some lettuce blend, but it was all shredded cabbage and I found that a bit disappointing. On the plus side, I still tasted the salad dressing and it was delicious! The inside was clean and quiet. Decor was cute. Overall not a bad visit, just a few small details that would make them even better. I will be back and might just get extra chicken :)
