I had some tasty Filet Mignon Pho here recently! The service was extremely fast and not so busy at the time. I really enjoyed how they packed my order, separating the broth from the condiments in cute to-go container. I am a person that is not crazy about having tons of meat in my pho, so it was perfect for me. However, if you are looking for more meats with tons of variety, this might not be the place for you.
This spot is located at the back of Haven City food court in Rancho Cucamonga. Grateful for their vegan options. I had their vegan egg rolls, vegan pho, and mango sticky rice. I am a fan of their egg rolls (7.75$). The vegan pho is made out of vegetable broth. It only had four pieces of tofu in it. Cost me $14.95. Expensive for something so small. The sticky rice was hard but the mango was nice and sweet. This spot was okay. It would've been 3 stars for the small portion and expensive , but 4 stars for labeling the vegan options and having them available for someone who is vegan. Food court is located in a large lot. There are bathrooms in the back. I never had trouble with parking. Came to this food court twice so far. It's a food court so it's loud. Cashier was nice.
I visited this restaurant several times over the year and always love trying a new item and/or drink. I ordered: Filet Mignon Banh Mi - The bread was perfectly crunchy and soft to eat. The meat was perfectly marinated, and I enjoyed it. Honey Peach with Crystal Boba - They gave me the wrong boba add on. I wanted to get crystal boba, but they gave me the regular boba. The regular boba made my drink soggy or mushy to drink. I didn't want to wait so I stuck with the wrong boba. It came with bits of peaches. I don't recommend adding boba to Honey Peach tea drink. Overall, it was good.
Alright, KYLE, if you are reading this review, you will be pleased to know that I approve of the Fried Tofu Banh Mi!! I have never had tofu in a banh mi before, but I had to take you up on your recommendation since I have tried every other kind already. I was gonna go with my usual pork belly, but I honestly didn't miss it today! The bread was nice and soft on the inside, and it had a nice crisp outside. The only thing I didn't like was the jalapeño inside it because I'm a weenie, and I have a very low spice tolerance. BUT, I am not deducting any stars for that because Kyle delivered on customer service, and my food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. I also ordered the Spring Rolls, and they were a good portion, with the right price. Be careful not to get a napkin close to the wrapper because I had to pick mine off, lol! The peanut sauce was a bit watery, but it was still good nonetheless. The 2 rolls satisfied my craving for a healthy dish. I took about 2 bites of the sammie and then decided to take it home for dinner (I had to dissect it to pick out the jalapeños, lol). Well done, Lantern Vietnamese Cafe!! Good fresh food made to order, with decent pricing!Thank you again, Kyle, for not steering me wrong and for posing with me, haha! You need a raise! I shall return! ;)
Located in the Haven City Market this place serves up solid pho. I would say it is on the pricey side ($16) for pretty standard tasting pho but it wasn't too bad. I tried out these two items. Special Pho - It tastes how it should. Flavors were good and portions were average, a bit small for the price. Meat quality wasn't bad. (4/5) Spicy Shrimp and Pork Udon - I guess this was kind of like banh canh. It was good but also nothing spectacular. Came out piping hot. (4/5) The selection was a bit limited for a Vietnamese restaurant but I guess it's kind of like one of those express restaurants since it's in a food market. For $34, I was expecting a bit more but anyways for a small pitstop and craving pho, this hit the spot.
- Quick, affordable and efficient service - Hidden spot inside Haven City Food Hall situated in a corner next to a Mediterranean food place - Traditional spring rolls made fresh, came with dipping sauce - Satisfyingly good and perfect for a quick meal Had lunch here before going to Kaiser for a medical appt. Conveniently located near the medical facility and court house. Within easy reach of the 10 fwy.
This was our first visit and we really enjoyed our food. We went early on a Saturday and Haven City Market wasn't too crowded yet. There was seating by the restaurant and plenty more throughout the whole market. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and efficient. We got: Lemongrass pork Banh Mi 10.95 Pork belly Banh Mi 11.95 2x Vietnamese Iced coffee 5.95 each The total after tax was 37.50. Definitely not cheap for two sandwiches and coffee, but it was good. The lemongrass pork had a nice flavor, the veggies were nice and crisp and the bread was fresh and crunchy. The coffee was sweet and strong. We love strong coffee, but it might not be for everyone. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back to try more.
I ordered their Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the Garlic Fried rice with Shredded chicken breast?! I didn't realize the chicken pieces would turn out shredded. The drink itself was very tasty and right on point, so I would return for another round of their Vietnamese iced coffee (I rarely drink or don't drink coffee but just needed some strong caffeine dose today since I was on day off). However I took a star off for the Garlic Fried Rice portion which turned out a tad too oily for me. Since I was also eating the Mediterranean styled chicken pieces, I didn't try the shredded chicken pieces from this dish I ordered. Anyways, I'll return again next time I visit Haven City Market, Rancho Cucamonga. I liked their seating arrangement!!!! The booth sections looked so adorable the way they were decorated, so I enjoyed the quick take out time I spent there while waiting for my order, Yelping time away. I added some pics below for further reference. Be back again soon!!!!
