California Noodle & Grill

I ordered the rice dish with shrimp paste, charbroiled beef, baked egg with rice. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, just dug in. Also ordered the fried egg roll and that was pretty good too. For Vietnamese food in the area, it was pretty good. Service was prompt and quick when you asked for something. The inside of the restaurant looked looked they could have fit more tables but it was adequate seating. Very popular on a Sunday for lunch.

Service was great! Fast too. Ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they were delish! The only negative was the peanut sauce was not thick or peanut buttery it was a consistency of teriyaki sauce. I also ordered the veggie pho and it was a little too fatty for me and not enough flavor in the broth. Other than those things it was good. I paid $35 for a large bowl of veggie pho and spring rolls. I would come back.

This is a good spot in this area of Chino for some delicious pho soup. Met up here for lunch with a friend. He comes here regularly and wanted some pho soup. His was the seafood soup and I got the house soup which is a combination of different types of meats. Very delicious! Highly recommend trying! We also ordered a side of their fried eggs rolls with a side of dipping sauce. The sauce is very good, makes the egg roll more tastier! Service and ambience is great. Nice size dining area for small group gatherings.

I would rate this place zero stars if I could. I am never coming back here again After tasting Soggy rice towards about eating till the end of that bowl. Everything was going downhill here. We are thinking ownership changed during the Pandemic. I understand inflation, but this is like the stingiest Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. Big time SMH. I try not to write lower star reviews, but I know Vietnamese food and this is far from that especially when rice turned out soggy, and I had to spit it out. Don't be cheated by the large bowl you see: my parents complained they cheated out on the beef quantities here as well. From my plate, cucumbers used to show up more pieces as well. I seriously know Vietnamese food, nobody cooks soggy rice. You have lost me. PS: I stand by my review. You sent Extremely Soggy steamed rice. I have Not been to any Vietnamese restaurant that sent Soggy rice. SMH. End.Of.Story. 02/13/24.

We love supporting a local spot! But, I was very much disappointed tonight. We ordered this to-go and it was the only thing we ordered. The quantity of food has significantly decreased. This box used to be two meals for me and if you look, there are only 2 pieces of pork. Very disappointed. I finished it in one sitting and while it was delicious, I'd rather pay more for good quality and quantity than to pay the same and have my protein cut. They also gave less nuoc mam which was saddening.

Wow, gave this place another x2 try because the 1st one was improved in quality but today 12/22/24. 2pm. Ordered pho, and to my surprise, no flavor or aroma.from what you expect in pho...real.pho.and.not watered down soup.....most inconsistent soup. And to mention, the MOST EXPENSIVE OVERPRICED UNFLAVORED PHO.....so sad!. Please check the quality of your soup prior to serving. Don't be cheap.on the beef bone when preparing soup...people who enjoy pho taste your cheapness mr/Mrs owner

It has now become the most expensive Phoʻ in the Inland Empire. A small bowl is almost $15.00 and a large is an additional $3.00. It is good, however, not that good for $$$$$.

It's a Wednesday night. The wife and I are hungry and it's getting late. Where do we pick? California Noodle.It has been awhile since we have came and dine in. The wife and I thought it would be good to not accumulate anymore plastics at home so we decided to dine in. The first thing that caught my eye was the menu and the increased prices! I mean got damn $12 for a small bowl of pho? Guess I will have to work more hours at work. I did not know inflation was at its peak. The food came out fast and there was nothing really out of the world or tastes any different. We just came for nostalgia and support our local businesses. My wife loves this place, but I think I would stay away more due to pricing. Portions were nothing to gawk about. If you're going to ask for any substitutions for yellow noodles in your pho, don't be surprised that they will charge you and not tell you.

This was our family's favorite Vietnamese restaurant within maybe a 10 miles radius; for many many years. A month ago I brought some out of state friends to eat here and I was disappointed of the quality & quantity of our orders; a few pork slices were bad and should have not been served. Not going back for a long while if at all.

When our other pho place sadly went out of business I went to find somewhere else to grab a quick snack that we occasionally enjoy. I can get more food at In-N-Out or even Chilis for the price I paid for two. $30 for two appetizer items. One extra star for freshness and the egg rolls being super crispy. I won't be coming back sorry. I know businesses are struggling but my dollars are spent better elsewhere.
