HOT STONE PHO - Rosemead

A new vietnamese restaurant in town. The decor and atmosphere aims to be more modern take with poppy color and cool artworks. I think they are not quite ready for the service yet. We had hot stone pho, salted fish fried rice, sizzling steak and egg on hot pan, and fried chicken wings. The only item I personally recommend are the chicken wings. Other items are decent with quality ingredients, but nothing impressive. There's a not of hype around the hot stone pho. It had cool presentation, but ultimately the broth does not have the depth of flavor you'd expect, especially for this price. Also they were out of bean sprouts by 7:30pm sunday night. I definitely appreciate the great customer service. I think they have potential if they can improve on the food and supplies.

No wait time when we came in for lunch on Saturday. We got their hot stone noodle soup and the soup stayed nice and hot throughout the meal. Their strawberry milk tea was good too.

Dang never seen a pho bowl display so nice.. the pho is very good

Very delicious food!!!! Definitely recommend their short rib hot stone pho and egg rolls!

Now, I was turned onto this place from posts I’ve seen on Instagram and based off the pictures on Google and Yelp, it seems pretty good. I did enjoy the pho but what I wasn’t too thrilled for was the beef ribs. You can see. It looks nothing like how it was portrayed. The ribs were a bit dry but the taste was still good. I would go again just won’t order the ribs.

A bowl of stone hot Pho, very comfortable to the stomach in a cold winter morning!

Hot Stone Special.

Came in with the girlfriend on a Wednesday night for dinner and it was kind of empty so here I am writing a review for them to hopefully stay! Hot Stone Pho is located in the plaza that Da Vien is coming into and so far parking is super easy. We both ended up getting the Sizzling Steak and Egg. The sauce was a bit on the salty side, and the steak was overcooked but it was still an overall great meal and value. The meat was tender, the bread was warm and the salad was good.

I came here for lunch and was surprised to find the entire plaza and restaurant remodeled. The interior was very new, bright, and cheery with hints of a calming blue everywhere. I did not get any of the pho dishes, but opted for the bo ne (sizzling beef plate), which is typically very difficult to find in the 626 area. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the filet mignon was a perfect medium rare as I requested, the sauce was nice and flavorful, and the egg was perfectly fried. I even enjoyed the crispy baguette and the side salad. I did also get the green Thai tea, which while refreshing, wasn't anything to write home about. I'd definitely come back here again based on this experience and would even try the pho next time.

Love the value for Sizzling Steak & Eggs, $17.95. It came with side salad & baguette, which was a pleasant surprise. Taste is not bad either. Premium Pho #4 (beef, beef ball & brisket), $13.95 was decent. Avocado Smoothie was okay. FOOD: Steak & Eggs 4.5/5 (good value) Premium Pho #4 - beef, beef ball & brisket 4/5 DRINKS: Avocado Smoothie 3.5/5 It's ok. Wanted to like it, but had better elsewhere. Thai Tea

Hot Stone Pho is an incredible dining experience that stands out with its fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes, and inviting atmosphere. Here's my full breakdown: Food & Drinks: * Hot Stone Short Ribs: A must-try! The ribs were tender, juicy, and perfectly marinated, served sizzling hot on a stone plate. The presentation was impressive, and the flavors were even better. * Spring Rolls: Fresh and light, with crisp veggies and shrimp wrapped in soft rice paper. The accompanying peanut sauce was the perfect pairing. * Egg Rolls: Crispy and golden on the outside, with a savory filling inside. These are a classic done exceptionally well. * Fresh Coconut: Refreshing and hydrating, served straight from the coconut. A great natural complement to the meal. * Thai Iced Tea: Sweet, creamy, and well-balanced. It had just the right amount of richness to make it a perfect indulgence. Service: The service was top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and happy to make recommendations. Despite the restaurant being busy, my order arrived promptly and was served with a smile. Ambiance: The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, with comfortable seating and tasteful decor. The sizzling sounds of hot stone dishes being served add to the lively and unique dining experience. It's a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. Overall: Hot Stone Pho has it all--amazing food, excellent service, and a warm ambiance. The Hot Stone Short Ribs are worth coming back for alone, but everything else I tried was just as delicious. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable Vietnamese meal!

The parking lot is kinda sketch since most of the shops there are vacant but otherwise fine. I can see it being too small and packed when the shops open. We all got the hot stone pho with short rib. It came with two large bones and one was fall off and tender. The other one was a little harder to eat. The soup is piping hot but a bit too salty for me. I would say this meal was a hybrid between pho and hot pot. Extra points because the noodles and soup are unlimited refills for the hot stones!

Love to see more viet restaurants opening up in 626! This place is so good and has a few unique dishes such as lomo Saltado & garlic noodles . I also recommend the fresh coconut!There's plenty of seating inside & parking is available in the lot.

My family and I love pho outings so we wanted to try a new spot. This just recently opened so we decided to stop by. It wasn't busy at 11 am on a Saturday but it did fill up closer to noon. It is located in a new plaza so there is a parking lot that is under construction. The interior is nice since everything is new. Pho (3/5): I got the #6 that comes with ribeye, tendon, tripe, and beef ball. The broth was okay. Not as much flavor as other places. The soup wasn't too hot either. I got the pho in a regular bowl instead of the hot stone. The noodles were fine. You get a choice between thick or thin rice noodles. Overall, it was only okay. I don't think I will come back. It was a bit hard to get the attention of the workers since we were seated in the back behind a plant. They were quick to take our drink order though which was nice.

Perfect meal for a cold and gloomy day. The pho in a hot stone bowl is a must! I ordered the Hot Stone Special, which comes with ribeye, brisket, beef ball, tendon, and tripe. The meats, broth, and noodles were all served separately. For noodles, you can choose between either thin or thick noodles. I went with the thick noodles, which tasted nice and smooth. The broth was flavorful and piping hot the entire time. A bonus is that you can get free refills of the broth and noodles at no additional cost. What a great value! In addition, I tried the mixed passion fruit drink and mango passion fruit smoothie. Both were delicious. The smoothie was very creamy. I initially wanted the avocado smoothie, but it was unfortunately sold out. Service was exceptional for a casual restaurant. They were very attentive and quick. My expectations were exceeded. Tables and cutlery all looked clean. I can see myself frequenting this place regularly now as the weather here is cooling down.

This place serves really good pho!! I really enjoyed their pho!! The broth is very flavorful and the noodles are cooked correctly. This place is relatively cheap too, for the amount they give, as compared to the other mainstream pho places. The waiters here are attentive and food is brought out pretty fast. You order your food and then once you finish eating you pay at the front register. Parking can be a bit trickery because the lot is small

I was searching for new restaurants in my area and Hot Stone Pho came up as a suggestion. I saw that it had banh mi bo ne, which is a sizzling steak on hot plate, which is harder to find in the San Gabriel Valley. So I decided to come to this restaurant to give it a try. I came with my wife for a quick dinner date. My wife got the hot stone pho which came with raw beef brisket, steak, and tripe, and hot bowl of pho broth. I got the banh mi bo ne which came with a salad, steak, pate, over easy egg, sauce, and baguette. The restaurant is very spacious and comfortable. Service was ok. I was very focused on the banh mi bo ne and did not try the pho. The bo ne was amazing. Very flavorful, and the steak was cooked medium rare to my liking. The baguette was perfect for soaking up all the delicious sauce. The salad was a nice healthy compliment to the heavy meal.

When my friend suggested going to Hot Stone Pho, I initially thought it was just a style of serving pho. I had no idea it was the name of a restaurant! LOL! This spot is a bit tucked away in Rosemead, seemingly off the beaten path and away from other restaurants. Honestly, I would have never discovered it if my friend hadn't brought it up. We ordered two Hot Stone Pho specials and one Oxtail Pho. The meat and rice noodles for the hot stone dishes were served separately from the hot stone bowl, while the oxtail came with the soup. The process was interesting--you add the meat into the hot stone bowl yourself and eat directly from there. One unique touch was that the bean sprouts came slightly blanched, unlike the usual raw sprouts you'd find at other pho places. At first glance, the portions didn't look like much, but once everything was added to the bowl, it turned out to be quite substantial! The meal was incredibly satisfying--so much so that I couldn't even finish mine. As for the service, it could definitely use some improvement. We had to ask for water three times before it finally arrived, which was a bit frustrating. However, the staff was friendly when we spoke to them, so I assume they were just overwhelmed. Hopefully, this is something that can be addressed with more staffing in the future. Parking is hassle-free since they have a large parking lot. I believe the restaurant opened fairly recently, in September, so if you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's definitely worth the experience!

I've only seen hot stone pho in OC and it's the first time I've seen it in SGV. The restaurant is spacious and lots of seating. We came on a Saturday around 3pm and it wasn't busy at all. We got the sizzling steak and egg, the short ribs hot stone pho and 2 drinks. They were out of all their signature drinks but had other drinks available which was pretty weird. I got an avocado smoothie and it was a bit too creamy for my liking. The pho was pretty good and basic tasting however, I like that you can cook the meats in the stone pot to your liking. The sizzling plate was tasty but I felt like the steak was way too overcooked. It comes with a side of warm baguette also. Service was quick and the waiters were attentive(but keep in mind we came when it wasn't busy). Parking is available right in the plaza.

I came here on a Friday afternoon and it was relatively busy, but we were sat right away. The restaurant is bright and clean and great for lunch. Our server came to taken our drink order quickly and was very attentive. We ordered a chicken wings and spring rolls for the table and for my entree I got the sizzling steak and eggs which is like a deconstructed banh mi. The chicken wings were crispy, but not much garlic taste. The spring rolls came with the dark sauce and crumbled peanuts and were nice and fresh. The sizzling steak and eggs came with a side salad and banh mi bread and the steak was soft and tender. I wish they would've given some more pate with it though since they only gave a dime size. Overall my experience was pawsitive and I would come here again.

Modernized fresh Vietnamese restaurant that adds piz·zazz without ruining authenticity. Hot stone pho is what this area of Rosemead needed in addition to getting Golden Delight down the street to revive the Vietnamese culture to younger adults. In a current empty plaza that looks like a ché place is opening up and other Vietnamese cuisine, hot stone shows how you can create viral foods without ruining the original taste. We got the rib hot stone pho, which in reality you are going to pay extra for the hot stone presentation. This is going to be good for those who eat their steak medium to medium rare, because you will get rare pieces of high quality beef that you cook yourself in the boiling soup. Surprisingly, the hot stone here keeps the soup almost boiling the entire time! The soup itself is very tasty without tasting too much sweetness like in some of the other pho places. The ribs were good as well and again, this is more for the experience than getting a $20 bowl worth. The pho is good enough that if you just want to eat here casually, I would definitely order the cheaper regular pho. We also got their Bò Né which seems to be part of a secret menu right now. Essentially it is a traditional Vietnamese brunch dish that is a deconstructed banh mi. This dish here is a lot less oily than the popular places up in San Jose and very tasty. I would definitely try it if you ever come for brunch time! Overall, this is a great new addition that provides a clean, fresh modern pho restaurant in a city where it seems like all the hole in the walls are slowly losing business. The reality is the younger population rather have these places, and when they have authentic taste, it is a huge win! Prices are not the cheapest but it definitely is more worth than other pho places charging $15+ for a bowl of pho nowadays.

A very clean and modern pho restaurant serving up pho in hot stone bowls! The pho itself was flavorful and I like how the soup came out boiling hot and it seemed to remain hot all throughout the meal. My family also ordered the Sizzling steak and eggs which was well seasoned and it came with a warm fresh baguette which complimented it very well. Everything came out fairly quick but we did place another order of phone halfway through our meal in which they forgot about as we did have to ask about it but overall, everything was delicious!

I came for dinner and the first impression was that the parking lot severely lacked lighting. The pho broth was rather bland but the good thing is that it contained a good amount of meat. The server asked if I wanted regular or flat noodles so I chose flat. When I received the bill, I noticed a surcharge for flat noodles but I don't recall seeing this on the menu and the server didn't inform me either. I felt that they didn't give enough noodles in the first place so to see that surcharge was a surprise. In reading some reviews after the fact, it seems some people are mentioning they provide noodle refills? I was not made aware of that either. Our table did agree that the egg rolls were good though.

Came back to try it out for a second time and there were some improvements made! This time they weren't as busy, so they brought out our waters and food at a decent time. Although they messed up my noodle type and brought out the thicker pho noodles, which I didn't mind. The pho was good and piping hot and fresh! They still give a large portion of meat and their short rib pho was fall off the bone and tender. We were surprised by the UPCHARGE on our recipe when we were paying though... they CHARGE $5 EXTRA for the hot stone if you get a regular pho, so BEWARE of this because they don't warn you about it on the menu or when ordering!!!

There's a new pho place in town that does hot stone bowls! Obviously for the name sake, I ordered the Hot Stone Special. I came today on a Sunday around 12pm, and the place was almost full of patrons. The Hot Stone Special Pho comes with ribeye, brisket, beef ball, tendon, and tripe (I ordered no onion for mine). Also note that the pho noodles used are the slightly wider flat ones, and not the thin ones. Overall as an experience, it kind of felt like eating hot pot because the stone bowl keeps the broth super hot throughout your dining experience. The broth is sweet, well flavored, and is what should be expected for a pho broth. I did want to try their Strawberry Matcha Latte, but I was told they're currently not offering the signature drinks just yet, so I opted for a Dragonfruit Lemonade. Very refreshing with the dragonfruit flavor coming through! If you're not into the stone bowls, they have pho in regular bowls as well. And if you're not feeling pho, they have other rice and noodle dishes, like Saltado Shaken Rice, Fried Salmon Rice, and Beef Stew. Note - they are in a soft-opening phase right now, so there is a promotional discount.

Okay! Gotta say, this is kind of cool. The fact that the stone pot / bowl stays hot (extremely hot) and you get to cook your food at your table is interesting. The soup broth was good. Didn't taste like your normal pho broth but still good. I got to experience the dish which I will say was impressive to keep the soup hot even at the end. Be careful not to burn yourself, I almost did because the bowl is heavy as well. This place used to be a different restaurant, I can't recall but they did an impressive upgrade to the interior. If you haven't, should try it.

I really wanted to love this spot but the flavor was lacking. The stone pho and regular bowl was boiling and very hot. Servings are pretty good portions. The service could be better. There were plenty of tables that needed cleaning but it was just left unattended. Overall the place was worth trying, but not sure I'll be back for a second visit.

Very delicious bowl of pho. Probably my second favorite spot? Having it in the stone pot keeps the broth boiling hot throughout and made such a big difference! The brother is clear and so flavorful!!! You can add the meats in all at once or even a little later, to prevent it from overcooking! Love this spot. Will be back. :)

This would have been a good dupe for Golden Delight. The hot stone pho was good. The soup was actually boiling, even at the end of the meal, the soup was still very hot. Meat quality isn't the best. The spring rolls were ehhh. Definitely could be improved. The service was kind of bad. There was a young man server, who was sitting around and ordering another young lady server. When we asked him for fish sauce, he didn't even bother asking the kitchen before refusing us. I've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant that doesn't have fish sauce. We also went the entire meal without water being served. We practically had to beg for water at the end of the meal.

Love that this OC concept is now in SGV. It's located in a great plaza with ample parking. Hot stone pho is my new favorite way to eat pho because everything stays hot from start to finish. Food comes out pretty quickly after ordering. The restaurant is huge and can seat a lot of people.

Food is great, nothing to complain about! My friends and I tried the fries, brisket pho, and the spring rolls all 10/10 will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent as well, very sweet staff. It's very bright inside which could be overstimulating for many but I appreciated it.

Service was great. Pho was good and came out quick! The portion size is good for the price. Happy I got to try this and will be back! Perfect for the colder weather we'll be getting in SoCal. :)

As we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smile and got sat down. The hot stone pho was a fun experience for my daughter. The broth is rich and flavorful, served piping hot in a heated stone bowl that keeps it steaming throughout the meal. The tender slices of beef, fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked noodles come in a separate bowl and platter. The presentation is unique. The Bo Ne served sizzling on a hot plate, the filet is tender and juicy, complemented by a rich, flavorful sauce. The runny egg and pâté adds layers of texture and taste, making it a hearty dish. The warm baguette is perfect for soaking up the sauce. Ambiance was super clean and the presentation of bringing out the food and condiments was nice. Customer service was hands great compared to most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. The only complaint is not enough noodles but overall, I'd definitely come back!

New Vietnamese restaurant in Rosemead. Lives up to its name of hot stone pho. The pho was still hot after we finished eating. All the meats and noodles come separately so you can add it whenever you want. They use fresh noodles. The server saw we were low on noodles and broth and offered us free refills on them. The sizzling plate was ok. The meat was overcooked and was tough to chew. Decent flavor though. Springs rolls were good had good ratio of fillings. Spacious restaurant with nice decoration. Would be back but just for the hot stone pho.

Quality of their hot stone pho and bo ne blew me away!! Glad we have another amazing pho restaurant opening up in Rosemead. They recently opened up and I already know this place will be a hit. The inside is very clean and modern. They also have a variety of drinks even durian smoothie! Check them out if you're ever in the area.

Bowling Hot and full of flavor! I got the short rib hot stone pho with fresh noodles (flat noodles) and I'm a fan! I tried several different pho restaurants that served their pho in hot stone bowls and this is pretty good. Pricing is very reasonable!

Pho broth and everything else was solid! My only critique is that the default noodles for the stone pot were the thick fresh ones. The noodle amount wasnt that generous either.

Food: Too much msg for pho, rare meat too chewy. Service: guy behind the counter was rude, better check your bill before you are paying Environment: new, but music was too loud.

House special hot pot was really good. We plan to come back. It was amazing. There is also a little Indonesian store in the same area that has many prepared dishes to go.

My family and I came in for the viral hot stone pho bowl that my dad saw in Facebook and it did not disappoint. The broth was so flavorful! If ton get the hot stone bowl, it comes out with everything in the side, so it's like a pho DIY shabu, which was a fun experience. But a regular bowl of pho will also hit the spot! The staff was super friendly and helped us right away! We asked for some salt for our fries (which were amazingly crispy and delicious), and they delivered right away. The restaurant has lots of parking, and is super clean and modern which is always fun to see at Vietnamese restaurants.

It's new, and looks clean, spacious. However, the service could be better. I ordered a dish, and never received it, which they apologized for. Overall, the food was good.

Came to try the phone in hot stone. The broth has so much msg that I was drinking water the entire night. The flat rice noodle was overly cooked. Meat wasn't that much for the price they're charging. Overall a bit disappointing. What was funny though was the employee, maybe manger? was literally badmouthing golden delight lol, so professional. Restaurant was newly renovated so still clean.

This was my first time coming and trying this place after bookmarking it for a while. The place was nice when you walk in. When we sat down the seat was oily and there was trash on the floor, not a good sign. The food came out fast, but was very bland. I had to put a lot is sriracha and hoisin sauce and still didn't help. Service was good.

I have been eyeing this new spot and have waited for them to open to see what they have to offer. Service: When arriving, there was no one at the front. We were noticed by staff coming out from the back but there was not a "Welcome" or any greeting, just simply asked us how many, which is fine but I believe being greeted is the bare minimum. Overall, the service wasn't terrible but not the best either. Nothing worth mentioning. Ambiance: There is a lot of room in the store for walking around, it doesn't feel squished. The store looks clean. They changed the place up a lot compared to the store before. Food: The food was just OK. The pho did not have the typical aroma. I also tried the broth before putting my sauces in it and it was very bland. I ended up putting fish sauce in it ( which i rarely have to do at other places ). The meat quality was good. They did not mention that the thick pho noodles were .50 extra. I don't mind paying but that should be told to customers. The wings weren't bad either, however i did not personally taste the garlic. My boyfriend ordered the Shaken Beef, he gave it a 6/10. The rice is different from other places, still good. Meat was tender. However the whole meal was a bit underwhelming. I'm hoping that because it is still their soft opening, they can work on these little kinks. I would come back to try it again.

My husband got the pho tai stone bowl. I got pho bo vein & tai. The broth was good overall, the noodles were more on the chewy side. The stone bowl retained a lot of heat. Not sure if it's a grand opening promotion going on but we got unlimited broth and noodles for the stone bowl. Service was excellent.

Nice, spacious and clean restaurant. The food was delicious. Will definitely come back

Service was fast and the food arrived quickly. I came for dinner around 6:30 and it wasn't busy. The seating is nice and the environment looks very bright. The broth was rich and flavorful. You can choose if you want regular rice noodles or the big ones. This was the first time I've seen a Vietnamese restaurant have fries on the menu so I had to try it out. They were really crispy and the portion was big!

We've visited the Euclid location several times, so we decided to come visit this one since it was closer! We ordered one of the hot stone specials, the shaken fries with fish, fried bao, and crab. The sauces were all really tasty, and I kept eating them even though I was full haha. The servers were extremely kind as well. I will definetly be coming back to share the experience with friends.

Love the Bo Ne (steak and eggs with bread), and the stone pot pho is probably one of the best in town.

Nice and roomy restaurant with good service. We had early dinner and ordered their stone pot pho with oxtail and ribeye and we also got the salmon loc lac with noodles. The pho was good but the salmon with noodles were average. Disappointed they didn't have many drinks we wanted on the menu.

Oxtail soup for breakfast was just what the doctor ordered, and it was delicious. Served hot in a stone bowl, the noodles and veggies made this dish a hit with me. I've had many Vietnamese dishes, so I can definitely say this oxtail soup was one of the best I've had. The staff was friendly and efficient. What I can tell you is that I am going to try the pho with meatballs next time! On meatball pho next time I am in the area.

I really wanted to love this spot and first found this place from a foodie I had seen on Instagram. The service was great, the workers were attentive. But the pho itself was very subpar. The soup was a little on the bland side and the noodles were a very odd consistency, it honestly tasted a little undercooked. Something worth mentioning is that the small sized bowl of pho is quite tiny. Portion wise its probably the right amount for a large kid and not for an adult . Iced coffee on the other hand was very delicious and totally worth getting. The place was worth trying, but not sure I'll be back for a second visit. Something to note is that not all of the pho soups come in the stone pot! Only the premium soups come in the stone pots :) the other pho come in a regular bowl.

i love this place! i've been here 4 times, the food is always good, service can be pretty meh but the one waitress is so sweet and attentive, love her! strawberry matcha was good but reaaallllyyy sweet. the restaurant is super clean and aesthetic, all good vibes~

When compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, they stand out as unique. They serve their Phò in a stone bowl and other ingredients serve separately so you see with your own eyes the freshness of the veggies, tripe, beef etc.. All you need to do DIY to heat up the ingredients in the stone bowl dig in and enjoy your food. The service they offer is excellent. Their premises are clean, but it's a little quiet and there aren't many customers. It's possible that they opened recently. It has not been discovered by anyone yet. The special fried rice is distinguished by its thin cabbage slices, which give it a crunchy and fresh taste. We opted to take the left over home. Have some for dinner; they never get sloppy. Highly recommend this place give it a try.

Beef is sweet and soft. you can refill noodles. The soup is okay not too bad. The music is too loud

I have heard good things about this place from my siblings and friends, and finally I had a chance to try it out. Actually this review is 2 visits late. Our third time here because their food is that good! We tried the bò né, hot stone pho, regular pho bowl, and drinks, and the flavor and portions do not disappoint. The Hot Stone pho the meat portion is so big that we order extra pho to share! They do not cut back on their meat portions on any order. The smoothie drinks are from real fruit and not powder which I loved! The service is very attentive which I also love! This place is clean, with good flavor food, and service. Oh and there are plenty parking in the plaza. Will definitely be coming here often! Sorry no photo to share because every time the food came out, we all just dive into it.
