After years of passing it by, it was time to see if Pho 36's reviews were reliable. We have loved authentic Vietnamese food ever since it became vogue in the 1970s. I am happy to report, we absolutely enjoyed our meal here. #44 Cha gio- crispy egg roll. Their delicious filling is made of finely minced meat and vegetables, seasoned to perfection. The platter of 4 comes with a huge pile of fresh greens, grated and pickled cucumber/carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and giant spearmint leaves. Traditionally, you take a leaf of lettuce, lay an eggroll in the middle, pile on some of the other veggies and herbs, then wrap it and dip it in their lovely, amber colored sauce that is an exotic mix of salty fish sauce, lemon juice, and sugar. It's addictive. It's sloppy. They know how to make me happy. Demand extra napkins. #32 Com Chien Thep Cam - This is a well seasoned, fried rice dish with a combination of meats (chicken, shrimp, and thinly sliced, sweet Chinese sausage), peas, and carrots. They serve it with a small bowl of their delicious pho broth. It's a meal in itself, but there is plenty to share. #56 Bahn Hoi Thit Nuong- Thinly sliced, bbq pork strips served over a very thin, rice vermicelli. Accompaniments include fresh mint and cilantro sprigs, lettuce, shredded pickled carrot and radish, bean sprouts, cucumber, and roasted peanuts. So good! Wrapping it up using those divine lettuce leaves, just like you did with the egg roll, then dipping it in the sweet/salty sauce is the way they eat it. A Word of Warning. I accidentally ordered #55 charbroiled pork first, rather than #56 bbq pork, not realizing there is a significant difference. The charbroiled version is more like spam. They graciously offered to remake it, no charge. My mistake. Thank you for indulging me. #84 Che 3 Mau - Do try this dessert! Sweet red bean/yellow lentil and green jelly dessert with sweetened coconut milk and shaved ice. This is refreshing and exotic. You will be proud of your adventurous self for tasting something new and downright delicious. What really impressed me was the abundance of food and reasonable prices, and the greens that were all so crisp and fresh. The flavors in each dish we tried were amazing, and the menu offers a wide selection. The restaurant is spacious, very clean, and the service was excellent. We are looking forward to making frequent visits here. read more

After my experience today, I'm definitely not returning. Upon arrival, was greeted with a passive aggressive attitude by the younger Asian server with camouflage pants and glasses. My sister and I came in for an early dinner and upon ordering felt rushed by the server. The server asked "are you guys ready to order?" To which I proceed to politely order a #1 and she cuts me off and asks my sister what she would like. Not sure if we were interrupting her conversation with someone as we noticed an AirPod in her ear. Simply put, the whole entire time we felt uncomfortable. This will be the last time I come here, especially with other options nearby. read more

solid service. solid quality of food. consistent casual ambiance. been here a few times and it's nice not to have to drive out to westminster for good pho. i get the large beef pho with brisket, flank i think, and tripe. i can't remember until im sitting down looking at the menu but i pick my meats and it's not a pre listed item, but they happily make it every time. my family loves the egg rolls and they are huge, packed with stuffing. their basil and mint leaves and bean sprouts are always so clean and fresh. last time we ordered from their sweet drinks. my brother got taro and i got something fruity tea, ugh i wish i remembered. but just take my word for it and stop by! it's sooo nice this time of year too when it's overcast outside. just bundle up with a generous bowl of high quality pho. read more

The pho soup was pretty decent and the fried rice was really good. Overall, the food was satisfying. The only thing I didn't like was when it came time to pay the server brought the tap to pay device and stood right in front of me while I was tipping. Its just awkward and unprofessional. Other than that, everything else was good. read more

What a surprise to stumble upon this amazing pho! The broth is so so good! I was craving pho and we happened to be in the area, and I am so glad we decided to give this place a try. Everything was made fresh to order and the service was very friendly. The pho, egg rolls and grilled chicken were bursting with unbelievable flavor! If I lived closer this would easily be a restaurant I would frequent, and I'm sad I don't live closer. The restaurant is located in a shopping center and the parking was fair. It does seem like the parking area gets busy so I'm not sure if that is an issue for some. The restaurant itself was busy but we were seated immediately. The restaurant was very clean and the menu was expansive with many good dishes to choose from. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and are looking for a quality pho! read more

Absolutely outstanding Vietnamese food and service. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, from the pho broth to the perfectly cooked egg rolls and beef vermicelli . The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Portions were generous and quality was consistent throughout. Easily one of the best Vietnamese dining experiences I've had, I highly recommended. read more

Very rude server with the glasses. Food was okay. They don't give a lot of meat so you're paying mainly for noodles. Won't be back.

My family, friends, and I tend to go to this pho shop quite often. It's conveniently close by and they are nice for the most part. They seem to keep up with cleanliness and can be attentive to their guests most times. Other times you do have to be vocal but shouldn't be an issue. The food is good id say a 3.5 out of 5. This time I decided to get the seafood pho and my girlfriend got tofu spring rolls as an appetizer along with her rare steak pho. We enjoyed our meals and although I wasn't able to take a photo we did end up getting a dessert. It was the Ming beans and fruit dessert which was good. I'd give the dessert a 3 out of 5. Over all it was a good experience. read more

I ordered the Veggie Pho. It lacked a little flavor compared to other paces. The service was quick, nice staff. Sure I would recommend but would not return, not because the food was bad but simply because as vegetarian it needs to hit right. read more

Food is very good. I've ordered both shrimp pho and the beef, egg rolls are good as well. The service isn't very good at all. I had to get out of my seat a couple times to ask the sitting server for whatever I needed. I've been to this restaurant a couple times since it's convenient and close to home. I also don't like that they only have Medium or large option for pho. There's nothing smaller so if u want smaller u should share w someone . The Thai tea was tasty. I like that they serve cold can soda. The ambience is nice and comfy. I just wish they'd get their customer service issues right. read more

DONT EVER EAT HERE. got food to go, gave us 3 slivers of cooked meat and 3 slivers of raw meat in a bag. Basically paying 15$ for noodles. What a joke. I got more bean sprouts in weight than meat. Save your money. read more

Great service as we got greeted and seated as soon as we walked in! Clean and spacious room to sit and eat inside. Bathrooms are clean. The restaurant has TVs and music playing. The lady who served us was so sweet and nice to us. The food came out quick and fresh. The egg rolls are bomb! The chicken pho soup is the best! I tried the cooked brisket one but I think I like the chicken one better. I think the chicken broth has more flavor than the beef broth. Overall, so happy that we have good pho here in our neighborhood so we don't have to travel to OC to get it! If you haven't gone to try this place yet, you're missing out! read more

Food was great! Service was a no. We've been to this place twice and have been assigned the same server both times. Young girl with glasses. She seemed very unhappy the first time we tried this place, but we loved the food so we decided to come back! Then tonight was super disappointing. My husband and I sat down to order and immediately was asked what we wanted... good thing we already knew ! I had ordered the #1 and asked for no tripe because I've had it before and I wasn't fond of the texture, taste was fine though! So I had politely asked her what exactly was tripe, to which she gave an attitude and said it's beef. She then proceeded to say if you don't want it why don't you just give it to him? I said sure no problem... we got our food fast and everything tasted amazing! I even told my husband we might be regulars here despite the service. My husband drinks a lot of water so he was done with his one glass ONE glass mind you pretty early. We had waited for the server to come back to refill for almost 10 minutes. I then just looked over at one of the other servers and pointed to our water cups with a smile. She then told the other server we asked for water while she was talking to another server and they all looked over at us and started laughing and speaking in their language. I wasn't stupid to notice that they were talking about us. She then noticed that I noticed she was talking about us and asked if everything was okay after we were finished eating... I lied and said we're fine. She then quickly got her card reader and stood there to ask for a tip. Really unprofessional and won't be coming back! read more

Came in Saturday morning. Food was ok but the worker especially guy was too too loud and super annoying.he even was singing loud.

Polite staff and quick service. Got the Pho Ga - Chicken Pho and the Portion was perfect. Large was about $14.40 or so. The pro about this place was that they give a lot of broth compared to other places so it stays hot for longer. The egg rolls were cooked right away and very hot. Solid spot! read more

The pho here was ok, but the service was really good and prices are about average. I'll probably eat here again if I'm in the area.

Yummy #61 vermicelli with egg rolls (total $14)! I ordered TO-GO over the phone on a Sunday 11:09am. Pick up was ready in 15 minutes. I asked if they could make the egg rolls vegetarian (no meat) and they did! My order was still warm when I got home - super tasty, flavorful, and fresh! I am happy I gave this a try and will definitely be coming back! read more

Food doesn't taste as real Vietnamese Pho, barely any meat. I was just in the neighborhood so drop by to try. Wouldn't be back again.

Great local Pho spot. We get the #16 everytime, never disappoints. The #39 is delicious if you don't like noodle soup.

SO GOOD. Best service. Fast and friendly. Sat a group of 4 at 5:30/6pm on a Thursday night, within 5-10 min. Food (pho ga, pho with brisket and meatballs, spring rolls with charbroiled pork, sliced steak, combo fried rice) alllll 10/10!!!!! Please come and try them! read more

My gosh, quality went down fast. The onions are basically rotten, I put them in my pho and it is now inedible. The vermicelli got a lot worse. Meat is terrible. Pho is just so salty and bad now. I don't think I'll come back. Food overall is 2 stars, but the rotten onions is inexcusable. read more

Get the pho outta here-- 'stopped in for dinner while visiting town and its some of the best pho I've had. Savory broth, nice seafood, really fresh bean sprouts, amazing basil off the stem, lime, and jalapeños. My dining partner enjoyed their pork over vermicelli entree.

Ordered pho and spring rolls to go. It was soo good. Maybe I was super hungry but I could eat the pho without any sauce. It was that good. The Thai tea was good. They were very friendly.

We ordered the spring rolls and a medium bowl of pho. Spring rolls were delicious and ingredients seemed fresh. I liked that a decent amount of peanut sauce was provided for the four spring rolls. Pho was delicious was nice raw flank that cooked in steaming broth. Basil and bean sprouts were fresh and helped add to the delicious flavor. Restaurant was nice and welcoming offering a nice amount of seating. Customer service was great! read more

The food is authentic and delicious! The servings are generous and the prices are reasonable. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was super friendly and even interacted with my grandkids. The restaurant is clean and bright. Even their offering was beautiful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I'm not sure if there has been a change in management or something but the prices for everything went up and they now charge 0.99 cents for extra onion and 0.50 cents for two pieces of lime. The portions are just not worth anymore especially since the large just seems like they add more soup to fill the bowl instead of more noodles and meat. They also messed up my partner's order who I often use to come here with. They ordered #14 with rare steak and fatty brisket, but received over cooked steak and well-done flank. To be honest, the food is good but with all these changes I think you'll be better off going to another pho place (especially those in OC!). If you're a beginner or are looking just for a quick pho stop then I guess this place should be fine but I wouldn't have high expectations. I used to love this place but unfortunately I won't be returning :( read more

Best Pho and Vietnamese iced coffee in the Corona/Norco/Eastvale area. Their regular entrees are top notch as well. Great service!

Ist time here, after constantly watching the crowd inside, & Vivian & crew didnt disappoint! Soon as you enter youre greeted attentively(as it should be). Once seated, you'll soon be asked if you're ready to order, or need a few minutes(as opposed to being ignored for another 20min!) Once you order, the food will be quick, hot, & fresh! I got a #14, & the beef was moist, & tasty, there was a grip of rice noodles(theyre not stingy with em), & the soup tasted clean, not smelly, or any other overpowering taste. Vivian watched over the restaurant, from a distance, just waiting to help whoever needed anything. My drink never went dry, and thats a huge plusThis joint has their Pho crackin' , & if Vietnamese food is on your radar, then this is the spot for you read more

Service is fast and for the most part and I don't know why this is, but most Vietnamese places are not great with water refills or checking on you etc. maybe it's me but I think it's norma for pho places. You may have to walk up to the register to pay FYI Food is excellent with large portions of noodles and meat. Probably one of the better pho places in Corona. The broth has been prepared for a while and you'll taste the time they spent making it Good clean environment and comfortable atmosphere. read more

Came here with the family! Great food and great service. They anticipate your needs and bring you extra sides of sauce for your dishes and even an extra bowl of soup for your pho if you run low without you having to even ask. They treat you like family! The food here is really nice, you have to try their bo luc lac -- the meat is extra tender and flavorful! Their che 5 mau (5 color dessert) is awesome too as a perfect ending to your meal ! read more

Simple lunch of hot pho to help the body. Added in a Thai coffee for wake up! Service was good, very quiet but with smile. Pho was good but a tad lite on flavor. I had the #8 which is the flank, rate steak and halt brisket. Id give it a B grade overall. The coffee was mostly ice. I would return but request less ice and maybe try seafood. read more
