    The beef rice noodle section on the menu.
    Nayeli S.

    Amazing food, amazing service, amazing people. We go there regularly, and they even give us a free Pepsi, cookies, and candies. The staff is the sweetest, very nice. They'll fill your cup of water like every chance they get, greeting you right at the door with utensils and water. The portions are huge, and the food is so good, not a thing is missing, and the prices are reasonable too. grilled meat over vermicelli noodles and the Ribeye pho are a fave

    Best pho in riverside thank you for the great service

    The place was ok. Ate for lunch . Service was ok. I went to their restroom no toilet seats and no towels . Informed the staff. The food was average. Fried egg rolls were good and tasty . The spring beef rolls were bland. The inside content has small slice of beef and full of noodles. The peanut sauce was so thick that the flour was clumped together. The mixed vegetables with rice was disappointing. The veggies were all small serving and the bokchoy and Napa cabbage were all stems. The #22 pho soup was ok. But the condiment like the Thai basil leaves were wilted . This is based on my own experience. I didn't take a pictures much not really impressed.

    Solid broth, I'd say similar quality to pho 99, better than pho star bowl. Basic spring rolls, but Vietnamese iced coffee was solid. Their Yelp hours say until 8pm, but their door now says 8:30pm. It seems they also post a sign sometimes about an hour before they close, saying takeout only - so recommend calling ahead of time just in case if you're trying to eat at a later hour. Nothing overly impressive, but with the price of eating out these days, this is a good pho place with affordable prices and ample portions.

    Super delicious and fast!!!! First time coming. there pork is marinated and cooked to perfection! Will be coming back to try the Pho!!!!

    Egg Rolls

    Delish Vietnamese restaurant out in Riverside! First time here and I got to try a variety of dishes with my group. The service was great and the owners were really sweet! I was surprised how big the restaurant was and it was super clean too. The egg roll fillings were delicious and I love how it came with lettuce, picked carrots and daikon, and some fish sauce for dipping. The house fried rice was delicious and had lots of toppings in it, the pho was great as the broth was flavorful and clear, and my favorite was the shaken beef over salad and a side of rice. The vinaigrette sauce over the salad was perfect and the beef was really soft! Overall, highly recommend this place since it seems like all their dishes are delish especially if you're craving Vietnamese food in the area!

Keep in mind they do not take reservations and only seat you (or prepare to seat you once your full party is present) which is totally fair and honestly not that bad of a wait even on Mother's day. The waitress also offered to take our large order ahead of being seated so there would be minimal time waiting for our food over seated which was very thoughtful. Onto the food, YUM! Our table ordered a variety of their vermicelli bowls (short rib, chicken, grilled pork+shrimp), Pho (special combo and brisket), eggrolls, thai iced tea, and vietnamese iced coffee. Everything we ordered was so delicious and there were generous portions of meat in all of our dishes. The fish sauce that came with the vermicelli bowls was super delicious and tasted so much more flavorful than any other Vietnamese restaurant I've dined at. The pho broth was piping hot and tasted so clean and refreshing. Drinks were also great and I honestly loved everything about today's lunch! I will definitely be coming back with my family and my kids loved all of the food (pho and vermicelli) too!

    Parking is tough especially around dinner time…read more The place has a cool decor with murals of old Hollywood but the lighting is dark and dreary. Service was extremely slow for it not being busy. They were a bit stingy on the lemon wedges and veggies. There were three of us and we ordered three bowls of Pho. We got one small plate of veggies and two lemon wedges. When we asked for more lemons, waiter looked over at our table to make sure we actually needed more lemons. When we asked for a sauce plate/cup, he looked bothered. Well next time just put little sauce plates on the table and we wouldn't have to ask you to get it. Like how do they not know people like to dip their meats in Siracha and Hoison sauce. Not everyone just pours it into the bowl. When we ordered our Pho, we also ordered a Banh Mi sandwich as a to go order. At the end of our meal, my wife went to pay and the check included the price with the sandwhich. She paid and asked how long the sandwich would take, they said, "what sandwich!" Uh, the one we just paid for. Cashier looked confused and asked to see the receipt. Then he went to the back and asked about the sandwich. We could hear someone in the back saying they didn't make a sandwich. Cashier apologized and we waited another 12 minutes for the sandwich. Pho was actually good but a bit on the pricey side. $20 for the Dac Biet. Next time we'll just go to Pho Ha down the street for better noodles at a cheaper price and they won't charge you for a sandwich that doesn't exist.

The pho was the better of the two. I liked the vegan spiced beef meatballs but the airy and light fried tofu in the pho didn't feel texturally comparable to sliced beef in pho. I also didn't feel like there was enough protein in the bowl, since normally pho is packed with a variety of different meats. The flavor of the soup was nice and the amount of noodles was satisfactory as well. The banh mi was not so good. I liked the crinkle cut radish and carrots but that's about all. The sliced beef meatballs and the fried tofu again didn't really evoke the taste and texture of meat in a banh mi, and the protein was basically just a few thin non-overlapping slices per section of the sandwich. The worst offender-- the sandwich was dry. Vegan should mean vegan mayo, not no mayo at all. It was sooooo dry. I had to take it home and add my own mayo. I don't hate this restaurant, and I really appreciate the willingness to incorporate a vegan friendly menu. However, the pho and banh mi missed the mark for me. I think I'd just order different items next time, like some of the saucy stir fry plates instead.

However, I recently read their reviews and laughed that they give straight peanut butter as a dipping sauce for their spring rolls. That is a big no-no. Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here.
