Montebello Pho & Sandwich — Restaurant in Montebello

I was in California on business and we were having a craving for Pho, so after a bit of a search we found a few places, we happened on Montebello Pho & Sandwich. Initially the GPS didn't do us any favors and got us lost twice saying we were at the address, but it is a little behind where the GPS sent us. We almost gave up but then eventually figured it out and I am so glad we did.

Montebello Pho & Sandwich is one of the best Pho restaurants I have been to while I was in California!!! First off, I had never seen a Pho place with a drive thru, that was amazing!!! The menu was quite different than what I'm used to in Canada at a Pho place, but it still had all the staple items you would expect ... The service was great and the owners were very friendly. I found eating on the outdoor patio while the sun was setting was such a nicer experience than I'm used to for a Pho restaurant.

We shared a few starters and each got a meal and no one was disappointed with what they got. The bubble tea was tasty and was a nice completion to the already great meal.

All and all next time I go back to California I hope I get to stop in for another meal. 5/5...

First time impression - not very Vietnamese. This place is for intro into Vietnamese foodies. Pro:The staff was very attentive. They were all working 100% during lunch hour. I got my mild ice coffee within a minutes. The young asian male staffer gets 5 stars for efforts. I asked him if their Banh Mi has pate and he said no. The Banh Mi is just a sandwich without pate spread. The pork Banh Mi was no good. Bread was toasted but had the wrong flavor. Pork need more flavor. The more I ate the Banh Mi the less I liked it so I'm giving it 1 star. I couldn't eat anymore so I snap a picture of what I left. Meal came out to $9.80. Their ice coffe is no cafe s.d.. Barely has the signature Vietnamese taste. Maybe they not using condensed milk? Tastes like a darker iced coffee. Verdict: I will not be returning. I feel really bad leaving a bad review because the staff was working their butt off. Next time I'll drive north a mile or 3 to Monterrey Park...

I had the pleasure of dining in at Montebello Pho and Sandwich, and it was an experience to remember. We ordered the chicken fried rice and the spring rolls with peanut sauce, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot-on, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. A special highlight was when the chef came out to check on us and see how we were enjoying our meal. It’s rare to see such a personal touch, and it really added to the overall experience.

To top it off, they treated us to a sample of a new green sauce they’re experimenting with. It was a delightful surprise and paired perfectly with our food.

We’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for great food with a welcoming atmosphere, Montebello Pho and Sandwich is...
