Worst treatment ever! I ordered chicken soup for my 2yr old daughter and egg rolls for myself. 30 minutes later and we are still not served. Two more customers came after me and got their order, one had ordered the exact same like me. So I inquire how much longer my order will take and the cashier tells me my order just got placed in the kitchen. The waiter that served me was seated eating his dinner. Worse of all, the cashier not being polite at all ask me if he can cancel my order. Of course I said yes and took my hungry baby to another restaurant! What I dont understand is why I got such negative treatment, does my skin color have something to do with it. I love Vietnamese food but this cafe killed that love in me!!!

Oh this place is amazing, great portions, lots and lots of meat, just everything was fantastic, the waitress was like one of the most friendly and attentive waitresses Ive ever had. Hopefully you get her haha. Got the #43 bowl and I dont really see a reason to ever get anything else, its that good :D The calamari was really good, a little on the skimpy side of portions for it but nothing to upset about.

I always have an enjoyable experience at Pho Lantern, whether its pick up or dine in. I stick with the vermicelli noodles with pork, and the chicken spring rolls, and they are both delicious. The prices are very fair, the service is quick. What else is there to say? One of these days Ill have the pho, and I anticipate itll be just as good.

I eat here often and my favorite meal is the wonton soup. Its a lot of food at a great price. I always have leftovers for lunch the next day. But besides the great food, the customer service cant be beat. You will usually find the owner ready to greet you with a smile and a "welcome back." And I do always come back :-)

Weve been enjoying the Lantern Cafe since the day they opened. Alicia makes the best Pho around! The restaurant is comfortable and the service is outstanding! We always feel like family. Lantern Cafe is one of our communitys best kept secrets but it wont be a secret for long were sure. A must stop when youre visiting.

Delicious food. The broth for the Pho was exceptional. It seemed to me to be made from scratch and I dont think that is case in a lot of other restaurants. The service was fast and personable. The food was also delivered to our table very fast. I will be eating here again.

I normally call in my order for take out. However, "I feel like I always have to ask for chili sauce for my Pho". Once, I was told to wait outside for my order because it was not ready. I feel that some people are rude and they dont make their customers feel welcome.

RACISTS!! I WAITED AT THE COUNTER FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AND WAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED AT ALL.....THEN AN ASIAN COUPLE WALKS IN BEHIND ME AND THEY ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET EVEN WALKONG PAST ME TO HELP THEM OUT....AND IN CASE YOURE WONDERING I AM A WHITE MALE.

Pho is one of my favorite dishes and one of the most disappointing things about pho is that the meat is usually very tough, not at Pho Lantern though. I got the filet mignon pho and it was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

The pho is great, probably the best Ive had. Very clean and tasty. Good balanced depth to the broth. But their coffee is even better. The coffee is reaaaaally good. Has a nutty almost cocoa taste to it but its coffee.

This place has some pretty great Pho. Just be warned that the waitress is sometimes forgetful with how busy the place is and being the only person. So make sure to check up on your order if you seem to be missing items.

Popular Vietnamese restaurant for Newport Mesa locals with really good pho and noodle dishes. Can get pretty busy at times. There are a couple of small outdoor tables for dining if you want to bring your dog too.

This place serves a really great Pho; their other food is really good too. But the service is not always good. The people can be rude some times and can forget what you ordered.

Good food good service, but they seated me right next to the bathroom so it smelled like air freshener. Id go back, as long as they seat me somewhere else.

Pretty casual, no nonsense pho place. I havent had anything other than the pho to be honest but no need to. This place is great.

Excellent food served in a timely manner. Staff appeared to follow Vietnamese rather than Anglo courtesies: polite and helpful.
