Pho Eliminate

Stopped in for a bowl to help fight off a cold. Broth was very flavorful with all fresh ingredients. Fast service as well

This place is a little over priced for me. I’ve been to plenty of Phở restaurants and this one isn’t on my top 5 the waitress seemed annoyed with the questions we had about the menu and when my phở finally arrived the noodles were mushy! Let’s just say we tried this place for the first time and last time!

Pretty good food sure not every dish is for everyone but what ive had here is really good, big in size and lots of flavor, the rice is amazing. Nice quiet and peaceful place and very friendly staff.

The worst food I’ve ever eaten in my life! It’s changed more names and managers then I change my socks, which is alot!
Food was oily and had the worst flavor. I got the curry. Just a film of oil at the top and the chicken was in huge piece and was way over cooked. The food looked like it’s been left out for days.
And don’t get me started on the waitress. She never came to the table to check in, just saw her to take our order then never again. We were the only customers, probably the only ones that day. But she never checked in to see if we needed anything. She sat behind a desk watching tv. Then after flagging her down to pay out bill. She tells us the card machine wasn’t working. Um, I feel like you should have told us that before we ordered. Swear on everything if I didn’t have morals, I would have walked out and refused to eat the food and pay for that disgusting food.

Under new Management! Food was very good and tasted fresh. I had salmon with white rice dish special and shrimp fried rice. Both were very good. The place is very nice from inside and customer service was great. Plus they give you free egg roles which are yummy as well. No complaints here. I’ve been to this restaurant quite a few times and I’m always satisfied definitely worth a try. Plus it’s in a Walmart shopping center and they have 20 plus stores to shop at after (I usually go get my nails done after lol)

Had lunch here over the weekend during my son’s soccer tournament nearby. Good healthy yet filling lunch specials. We had the bun (aka salad bowl with greens, vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumbers, with the light dressing) one with chicken, the other with tofu and my son had the com (aka rice plate) with chicken. We also had their spring rolls with peanut sauce. Overall the food was pretty decent. My only dislike was they did not clear nearby tables so we were seated at a clean empty table but had to dine around all the dirty tables surrounding us. They were not that busy and should have cleared things up.

Don’t even, do yourself a favor and just go over to sushi train across the street.

As I regular here I got to say every time I come here the food experience always gets better and better. The soup base for the phở is absolutely amazing and their fried calamari appetizer is soo bomb. Good service and clean. Probably one of the best Viet restaurant in the IE.

Firstly, I hate to be the one person in the reviews that didn’t enjoy this place– but alas, here I am. I will start off by saying that although I didn’t have the greatest experience here today, I would like to give this another shot… but I’m not entirely sure I will.
My boyfriend and I ordered a round of appetizers. A few spring rolls, egg rolls, and calamari. The spring rolls were bland. They weren’t gross or inedible, but the sauce they came with added absolutely no flavor to them at all. I added hot sauce to the roll and it seemed to make it more appealing.
The egg rolls are delicious. I have no complaints. The calamari was great, no complaints there either. My main issue was the insane amount of flies in the restaurant. I couldn’t eat anything without swatting flies every five seconds. I really wanted to try their Phở, but with it being as hot as it was, with the door wide open, and flies everywhere… I just had to get my check and leave.
I will most likely be back to give this another shot because I saw all of the wonderful reviews. My experience just wasn’t that great.

There are many (Asian) restaurants but none that service the best soups i have ever tasted. the owners daughter is so sweet and loving you. Feel so good you can’t wait to go back about 8.00 for a combo. don’t miss out on this one enjoy.

I VERY much enjoyed my meal =)

Great place to dine!!! Food is wonderful and once your inside you forget the outside surroundings! I advise to eat in because when you order the same food on take out status it’s smaller portions and not as all designed like your plate that comes to your table. Warm atmosphere friendly staff good authentic cuisine that is simple and to the point.

This delightful gem is situated in a run-​down shopping mall anchored by a Walmart. When we walked in on a Sunday afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised to find a modern, clean, well-​decorated restaurant. The two girls working that day were very friendly and spoke Vietnamese (which, to me, was an indication that their food would be good).
Ambience was great — It was hot outside and the A/​C indoors felt really nice. The staff made sure that we got our orders in promptly, and came by often to fill our water glasses — We never had empty water glasses, which is a huge step up from other Vietnamese restaurants.
Being Vietnamese, I thought the menu had a good variety of traditional fare. The menu was easy to read, and had helpful pictures and English translations. We ordered the chicken phở, and the egg noodle and wonton soup. The chicken phở was our favorite — Generous portion, delicious broth, big chunks of tender chicken meat. It was the perfect meal for a Sunday afternoon after camping in Big Bear for us.
I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy a bowl of soup after spending some time in Big Bear or the surrounding San Bernardino area!

Upon arrival, I was impressed by the decoration. It was a lot nicer than I expected and the waterfall towards the back end of the restaurant gives off a nice vibe.
Now on to the important stuff. The food! My parents ordered the Special Combination combo (phở + can of soda + 1 egg roll) and I ordered just a bowl of phở (steak with tripe). My parents were pleased with their order, especially for the price of $ 7.95! I am very picky with my phở (either too bland, too salty, or lukewarm); however I had no complaints with my order. The soup was nice and hot and was not too salty. Also, it was covered with a handful of cilantro (which I love) and the steak pieces were thin, tender, and not fatty. If I had any complaint, it would possibly be the very few pieces of tripe I did manage to find and the portion itself was not too impressive (the reason I’m docking off a star). I’m used to being stuffed when I order phở… But that’s not too big of a deal. A really nice surprise was the complimentary banana egg roll at the end.
Lastly, customer service was excellent. The girl who waited us was very attentive and friendly.
I think I just found my new go-​to spot for phở.

Delicious, everything I’ve tried, so far, is infused with flavor! Service is great, they are really attentive. ! The banana egg roll desert and the lemonade soda are a definent must try!

Found this restaurant on Unilocal.Have to say their calamari fried just right! Job well done!
Soups were good so as the service.

Granted that I’ve only tried two things here so my review may not be the best to look at, but their phở is awesome. I had no problems with their phở. Tastes great and the bean sprouts and basil are usually fresh. Five stars there. Service is great. I’d give them like a 3 – 4 stars on service. They are usually really nice but sometimes, they seem like they are trying to avoid eye contact, which irks me. Then there is boba. Thai tea boba. The thai tea is awesome. I love their thai tea. However, when I get Thai tea boba, the boba is a bit… soggier than it should be and it just doesn’t taste good. So, I really don’t recommend getting your drinks with boba but without boba, their drinks are REALLY good so yeah. Overall, I’d give it a 3.5 but I thought why not and rounded it to 4 stars.

So far a 5 star. I’ve been here twice for lunch. The phở was on par, and the staff is very friendly. They have great lunch specials and the place is clean. My boyfriend got the steak special. It was VERY FLAVORFUL!!!

Idc what anyone says, BEST phở in town ! Never get sick of it .
Their crispy chicken wings (appetizer) never disappoint and their vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp and crispy egg rolls is so bomb !
Free crispy, fresh egg rolls with every order? Hey, free food, I’m not questioning .
Delicious food and the vibe in the place is so relaxing .
There’s just some dead space in the shop that’s all but for a place that barely opened they are doing GREAT!
I truly recommend this place for everyone ! (:

Although it is a bit disconcerting that the word «eliminate» is in the restaurant name, don’t let that deter you from dining here.
Phở Eliminate is located at the site of the former Lemongrass restaurant near the Bank of America on Highland Avenue. The new owner is reportedly the owner of a marital arts studio, Eliminate. It is a comfortable and clean dining area with very high ceilings, which give you a sense of spaciousness. The cool water feature remains. There is booth seating throughout with nicely padded benches.
When we arrived, the man in the front of house came over and just looked at us expectantly… without much of a smile. It was kind of weird, but I figured he was waiting for our drink orders. It’d be nice if he greeted us and asked us if there was anything he could get us to drink. Moreover, he would have made our stay more inviting if he smiled more and made an attempt to be friendly. (Perhaps he’s used to being fierce at the martial arts studio, but this is a restaurant where people expect to be served!) Service, however, was good because the free egg rolls and food came out promptly at their proper temperatures.
Now on to more important things – food. I’ve been here a total of two times this week. Both times, the egg rolls came out at just the right temperature – very warm but not so hot as to burn your mouth with the first bite. They were fresh, crispy, and tasty.
The first time, MDH and I each had phở – chicken and the Special, respectively. I’m very happy to report that the accompanying garnish is fresh and not bug-​bitten as in some other places. The phở broth in both was quite good. I didn’t have that urge to keep drinking water for hours afterward like I do after having phở at some other places that use way too much sodium and MSG. The special was supposed to have beef, tripe, and tendon; sadly, I had no tripe in mine. If a dish is described a certain way on the menu, then that is what I expect delivered. Other than the missing tripe, the phở dishes were quite good.
The second time, we decided to try out their vermicelli. The texture of the noodles was spot on – not sticky and clumped together like at other places in the Inland Empire. Additionally, they serve their vermicelli with real lemongrass like they do in Orange County – yay! Other local places in this area (namely, Phở T&T, Noodle 21, and Oh Mai Phở) will serve their vermicelli with lettuce and entirely skip the lemongrass, which lends to a relatively flat taste to the dish overall. Furthermore, the amount of protein given is substantial, as you can see in my picture. (Oh Mai Phở skimps on their vermicelli proteins in a very shameful manner.) I’d have to say that Phở Eliminate serves the best vermicelli in this area. There are some rice dishes and other items, but we’ll have to try those in future visits.
They need improvement in terms of staff being more friendly and making sure that all the proteins that should be in a dish are actually there. Given that their phở and vermicelli are pretty much the tastiest I’ve had in the IE, Phở Eliminate gets a solid four stars.
