Definitely give this new place a try, it was spacious and had really nice servers. I ordered the large pho chin nam (brisket and flank), plus a small order of extra meat because it was really tender. Many experienced foodies anticipate the broth to be deeper, *but that's not a solid prerequisite for the cultural origins of this cuisine*. In fact, it should be seen as more of a conscious choice of the chef rather than a strike... ie: What happens when you order chicken instead of beef? Yelp culture has already begun to affect the general opinion of Vietnamese cuisine but don't forget that the French culture got there first LOL! Btw, light and fragrant broth elevates the sharp notes of the green onion flavor. Think of it as a savory tea-like structure compared to a can of Campbell's Chunky Beef Stew and you'll get it. I dig this place and will be back to get the scoop on them rice dishes. (P.S. Shoutout to the Casey Affleck fan in the front row, you know who you are-- and nice move. Peace) read more

11/6/2018 I ordered the seafood pho to go before closing time. When I got home my soup was cold. I wont make the same mistake twice.

This place is nestled in a very convenient plaza close to my house, and is a great place to satisfy your pho cravings. The restaurant itself is very clean, with a nice quiet atmosphere only broken by the music they play on the radio at any given point. The service is fantastic and friendly, making us feel very welcome and at home, with your orders coming out with haste. Our server Abby was very sweet and continuously checked up on us to make sure everything was to our liking, as well as to top off our waters. The food itself was good, where the pho is in good portions and you have the choice of having a thicker "freshly made" noodle and the "premade" noodles you would find in any other place. The thicker noodles is slightly more satisfying, however my girlfriend prefers the regular noodles. This is a good spot, with a great service, atmosphere, and variety. Will definitely be coming back read more

I usually don't *love* pho, so whenever my friends want to go, I just stick with the chicken pho. This is definitely my favorite place to get chicken pho - I love how the chicken is shredded. I had it when I was sick with a cold and it made me feel infinitely more alive. My Vietnamese friends also really enjoy this place, so that says a lot about its authenticity. It always seems to be packed on the weekends. The people who wait on us are always really sweet, attentive, and interesting to talk to. The service is quick and the restaurant is clean! read more

Ambience was great, staff was very friendly, and the restrooms were clean! Location is fantastic in the middle of a plaza. The food was delicious! I ordered the Charboiled Pork rice dish with an eggroll on the side. The meat was fresh as was the veggies. The portions were a little on the small side, however, the quality made up for it. Overall, I will be coming back as this 5 Star Pho Restaurant is probably the best in Riverside! read more

The reviews don't lie! This is by far one of the best phó locations in Riverside. Kim was beyond welcoming and made sure I was happy with my order. The stir fried egg noodle with chicken has all the right flavors. I'll be coming back! read more

I had the chicken chow fun here. The noodles were great and the sauce they used was great as well. They gave me a lot of food as well. On top of that, I ordered charbroiled beef spring rolls. The spring rolls were good with the peanut sauce. I got all this for under $15. The service was great, there was this Korean guy that served me. I think his name was Steve. I would recommend this place. read more

The food here is amazing! The restaurant is clean and the 2 girls that were serving the night my boyfriend and I came in were super cool. The only con about our experience here was Not much table touching we didn't get asked once how we were doing or if we needed anything else. Other than that good place for some pho! read more

Unexpectedly pleased with this place. Was just craving pho while in the area, so we decided with this place. Ordered my typical pho with rare and cooked beef and egg rolls. Both were delicious. Will definitely come back if I am in the area. read more

Love the pho here. Found this place driving by last week and back here again. Quick and friendly service. Highly recommend, prices are great too. read more

Great service! We got the egg rolls which we're crispy and delicious. The beef and pork bun was flavorful but served on a plate instead of a bowl. The house special chow mein had delicious egg noodles with beef and shrimp and vegetables in a savory sauce. Flavors were on point and textures were perfect. Overall excellent. read more

We had a wonderful time eating! Noodles for my mom yellow noodles for my dad and charbroiled beef for me I may be a kid but I can say we had a wonderful time over there and their boba they said clear but I saw black and it has on of a kind taste and I like the sweet inside with my Thai tea and they cut it in half so it won't get stuck (Lol) and the workers I wasn't with them for to long but they looked like they were very nice so overall this pho restaurant lives up to its name 5 Star pho so this is very suggested so what ever you're doing keep on doing it! (P.S Sorry for no picture we did this after eating but just eat and you'll know what I I'm talking about) 1 month later... Hi we went again and still good!Ugh no picture sorry (why do I keep forgetting) I wasn't that hungry but my mom was she devoured two dishes! Talk about nom nom nom! It was I think beef and rice (charbroiled) and pho ga (chicken noodles) wonderful place to go I'm not kidding! Also pls tell me how to make separate review thanks read more

Great Pho! We recently moved to the area and the husband was CRAVING Pho like nobody's business. We depend on Yelp for finding new places to eat since we're not from riverside originally and this place had the best reviews so we have it a shot. We were not disappointed!! The portion was plenty (i ordered the large chicken soup and my husband ordered the beef) and I was stuffed and couldn't finish. The broth was hot and flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy. Will definitely make this our Pho go-to! read more

Great and fast service. Nice new spot for me and my wife when we want Pho while in Riverside.

This place is wonderful!! We had the chicken pho, shrimp pho and a number 18. Everything was amazing, great flavor and gluten free broth. The staff was phenomenal. We had our 2 kids with us, which can be challenging at times and the staff made our trip so easy. Kevin came and talked to the kids and made us all laugh every time he came by. You can tell they care about not only the food but their customers as well. Thank you for such a perfect lunch! read more

The service is great, the food is delicious I usually get the rare steak pho soup and chicken bahn mi sandwich when I go. The restaurant is very clean, and the owner is super nice as well I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The food here is ok. But I just keep coming back. There are more ways of ordering your own menu. u can mixed the I tee em a little bit. I don't like to much sea food on my bowl. So I add no more vegetables instead. They will do it for you. read more

Nothing to complain about. I spent over an hour here during lunch rush and food came out timely. read more

Excellent service and food was so Good! Pho is so perfect for these windy and cold days! We'll be back for sure!

The food is consistently good! We love the vermicelli with shrimp, pork, and egg rolls. Friendly and fast service.

My son and I have tried nearly every pho joint in town, this one somehow we missed. It's true about saving the best for last! Hands down best pho in Riverside! Customer service is on point, fast service and the pho is TO DIE FOR!!!! On top of that it's ridiculously reasonable. 8.75 for a large and that's two meals for me. You're an idiot if you are a pho lover and don't give this place a shot! read more

Some of the best pho I've ever had, and probably the cheapest too. It's like 8-10 bucks for a large bowl, which I never finish in the restaurant. One order of noodles from this place pretty much feeds me the whole day. Everyone who works there is super sweet and attentive. This place always puts a smile on my face. read more

I have been coming here for months now. They have an amazing Yelp deal. The ambiance is very earthy and warm. This is a brand new restaurant, so everything was clean and new. I tried the combination pho and found the veggies were fresh and the meats were generous portions. The eggrolls were crispy. They have a large menu. My husband tried the pork vermicelli plate and found the meat tender and succulent. This will be my bi-weekly pho restaurant. Parking is convenient as it's near Dunkin' Donuts. Neighborhood is safe too. See you next week 5 Star Pho. Yummy in my tummy! It just gets better and better here. I love the fresh flat noodles. read more

Amazing pho, I love it. Been going here since last year and I will honestly say it's the best pho restaurant I've been to so far. And the price is good. I love the shrimp pho. The shrimp and the fresh noodles are delicious. I recommend this 100% Also if you get the chance, try the shrimp rolls I believe that's what they're called, but they are so good ! read more

The pho is so good!! This place has some of the most tastiest broth I've experienced here around town! Definitely will be keeping this place for our Pho spot! They gave us a great portion sizes on the fixings for the soup as well read more

I order from this place twice. I did enjoy the service but they didn't want to give me an condiments. I order two large bowls and she only gave me one little cup of chili sauce ( that wasn't even full) and two little sauce. When I went to go eat their for dinner the service wasn't great. They forgot about us. I was upset I don't think I'll be coming back to this place. read more

This place was beyond expectation. The vegetarian pho was the best I have ever had. My boyfriend ordered number 21 and said it was amazing. Great and fast service. It was fresh and delicious. Thank you!! read more

Staff was very friendly, the food was great! We've been to most of pho restaurant around here but this is probably best in the area!!

I always come to this place to eat pho but I came here today I find the volume and size is pretty smaller than the usual. I'll definitely not come here again unless they upgrade their size with the same price. Their volume is pretty small right now and I can't full after I finish a large size. read more

Diced beef steak is to die for #57 Crispy on the out, soft and mouth watering in every bite. Compliments to The Chef ! read more

I ate here a couple months back. The food was great. We also had great customer service. I ordered a small bowl of pho, it was definitely not small, so I am glad I did not get a large bowl because I definitely would not have been able to finish it. read more

Second time here and I just love it. Soup before I added hot stuff to it had a great taste. Hmmmm loved it.
