Pho Ha Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Loma Linda

I so wanted this spot to be wonderful. I have had pretty great experiences at the sister location in San Bernardino, and so had really high hopes of having one 'closer to home' to visit.

Unfortunately the experience was less than stellar. I ordered the tofu spring rolls, the tofu bahn mi, the beef flank pho and tofu crispy noodles.

The pho was tasty, with a rich broth and relatively generous meat. I would've preferred less fatty meat, but it was generally tasty.

The Spring Rolls were incredibly bland. I realize it's vegetables, tofu and rice paper - but I've had some tasty tofu spring rolls in the past. The tofu seemed completely unseasoned and the lettuce in the roll was wilted. The dipping sauce helped, but didn't make up for the blandness.

The bahn mi was also incredibly bland. The vegetables were raw, and not the traditional pickled veggies I'm used to. The tofu was also incredibly stingy and there was no mayo or other spread on the bread. The bread itself was decent, but the rest of the ingredients were a let down.

Finally the tofu crunchy noodle dish. This is a favorite of mine at other Vietnamese restaurants, but here it was greasy and soggy, instead of rich and crunchy. The vegetables on top were unseasoned and the gravy wasn't the rich topping I'm used to.

The service was decent after ordering, but we had to flag down our server multiple times to try to order. Additionally there was one server who didn't speak any English and despite asking for additional plates, bowls and silverware 3 times would walk into the kitchen and walk out empty-handed.

I'm hopeful this place get's it's act together. I believe it has the ability to be a wonderful new local restaurant, but based on my experience it may take a while to go back and...

We got there, and we were attended immediately. We got seated and just looking around, first it was quite full (very good sign), second the place was decorated so nicely. I have Vietnamese friends and I gotta say, the decorations and vibe was Vietnamese, and it was so calm and comfortable. Third, the music matched the whole place. Fourth, we got what we wanted ordered within a timely manner and welcoming service. Fifth, we didn't wait long for the food(5-10min), and the food was amazing. The broth was so rich with flavor and the meat was delicious. We had spring rolls as appetizers (shrimp and chicken), delicious, everything tasted fresh, the veggies too. I would drink my water and it would go down by half and the server paid attention and immediately served me more water. They want you to have your food and drinks, nothing missing. Friendly all around. The price was reasonable as the bowls are huge and filled. Absolutely satisfied and definitely...

My anniversary was the reason for this place because I love to try new restaurants in my area, overall the experience was pretty good however I ordered a chicken plate with yellow rice 🍚 I'm not sure of the name 🤔but the chicken flavor was good but it was a little dry around the edges like it was overly deep fried/or grilled but presentation was good 👍🏾 and the staff were very friendly 😁.. my husband said he really loved the phó and the broth was delicious 🤤 very authentic 👍🏾 overall I would recommend this place, the atmosphere is good it's a clean environment and the staff are wonderful and I saw that you could bring your own drinks 🍷😆.. But I don't think I was supposed to see that (a family had their own 🍻👍🏾😍) so we really enjoyed our anniversary there and we plan to go...
