Lakeside Pho & Grill — Restaurant in California

This plaza has decent parking. There is outdoor seating available. Friendly staff and prices are relatively low compared to other “pho and grill” places.

We always order similar items at Vietnamese/pho and grill restaurants.

-Crispy wings ($12.25): we got fish sauce flavor. Wings were big and juicy with the sticky flavor.

-Stir fried egg noodle combo ($15.99): This dish needed help. The noodles tasted stale and overly fried. The sauce could be thicker and seasoned more. The veggies were undercooked and thrown on top making it crunchy.

-BBQ pork rice dish ($14.99): The meat was sliced thin and grilled with a charred smokey flavor. Would be so much better if they served broken rice instead of regular rice.

-Pho filet mignon ($16.99): My mom really liked that the filets were beyond thin.

-pho beef rib ($16.99): My fiancé is a pho snob and he said he’s had better. The broth was clean, less aromatic spices.

We came during lunch right when they opened as the first sit down customer and it took awhile for food to come out. The last dish took 35 mins from the first. Best to call in your order if you’re doing take out.

Since we order identical or similar items at “pho and grill” restaurants, the food here is decent but not the...

Excellent food, excellent service, and worth the wait!! I tried the sweet and sour shrimp and I do have to say I was waiting for awhile but it was bomb!!!! The shrimp was perfectly cooked the breading on the shrimp was so crisp, when I bit into the shrimp it was like a smorgasbord of flavors Dancing across my tongue I couldn’t believe what I was eating. At first glance it seemed to be breaded shrimp which would’ve been very bland and Tasteless but upon my consumption the shrimp was juicy and crunchy. Along side the sweet and sour shrimp came a sweet and sour sauce of course and fried rice which you also have the choice of white but back to the sauce which had more to it then meets the eye. It looks like a red soup with vegetables floating in it but when you dip the shrimp into the sauce it makes the flavors enhanced. Tastes like I’m eating an entirely different dish. Overall I highly recommend this establishment and can say you will enjoy it just as much as my over...

Honestly, the slowest service I've EVER experienced from a Pho place. I think I was there 30 or 40 minutes before I received my soup, and 20 before they even took my order. I didn't get the veggies until I was nearly finished eating. The customer next to me was CLEARLY very unhappy about his wait. No updates were provided, nor customer service rendered. You get your food when you get it. 😅

The total was not disclosed until I held the credit slip in my hand. It's a small thing, but given the person in the reviews claiming they were charged an extra 7 dollars without their consent, I was a little worried.

Food was ok, but nothing amazing, and I'm not sure where the reviewers are finding this the best Pho ever, but to each his own, and that's ok. Portion sizes seem generous. I'd rather eat here than the McDonalds next door, but honestly, it's kind of a toss up. I probably won't choose to come back, honestly. Best...
