I enjoyed the food here so much! As soon as I entered the restaurant I regretted not just eating my food here but unfortunately someone at home was waiting for theirs. The staff was very friendly and they gave me some recommendations as it was my first time. When it's colder I'll have to try their Pho but for now I tried their BBQ short ribs and their spicy chicken plate which came with rice. I loved both dishes! I could tell the ingredients were fresh and they both dishes were flavorful. I do feel like they could've given a little more meat compared to the rice but maybe that's a takeout thing? If you have a large party I would probably call in advance because the space is limited and it was PACKED when I got there. I'm hoping someone will review their Cajun food/crab boil because I want to try that as well. read more

This is a pretty solid pho spot. My party ordered two large phos, and they came out fast. The broth had a strong, flavorful taste, the noodle portion was generous. The meat portion was a bit small, but everything still hit the spot. I also liked that they had a variety of chili sauces available at the table. Overall, the food was good and worth trying if you haven't checked out Pho Rex yet. I'd come back again just for the broth! read more

Great experience! The food was delightful, the servers were courteous and the place was fairly clean! There is a dish with filet minon that was amazing and I can't wait to come back and try it! Yum! read more

I've had lots of Pho in the area that is really good, but Pho Rex on Hidden Valley in Norco is by far the best! Always fresh and super tasty. My favorite is the #1 Special with all the meats, with TONS of chili oil to give it a nice kick. One thing I want to add...their egg rolls are TO DIE FOR!!! I sometimes just order a couple of orders to-go because I crave them all the time! read more

Honestly, this the best Pho I've had since I moved to Corona! Bravo Pho Rex! We'll be back soon

Very disappointed yet again. Got my wife pho noodle soup bc she was feeling sick. She likes all the accompaniments (lime, basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños) with it like everyone else and this is literally the fourth time where ive ordered take out and they didn't include it in my order. I don't understand why it's so hard to include this with my pho order. And the resolution each time from DoorDash is to offer 3 bucks off. I don't car about the 3 bucks. I want my complete order. I still at the end don't have what I need. You guys need to come up with a better system to check the accuracy. This has happen wayyyy too many times and sadly I won't order from here again even though we like the food. read more

This spot right off hidden Valley Parkway is sure to satisfy your cravings for Vietnamese food. My personal favorite is the grilled chicken with white rice dish. It comes with a small side of sweet and spicy sauce that I absolutely just love. The Banh mi is also on point. If you haven't had a Banh mi yet, please be sure to order it. Banh Mi is a fusion French style baguettes and Vietnamese grilling perfection. It usually comes with a whole slew of veggies and Mayo. My favorite part is when I take a bite and includes a crispy jalapeño slice with just the right amount of spice. Additionally, their shrimp- spring rolls dipped in peanut sauce are a must have. They provide a refreshing lightweight snack that makes you feel healthy while eating something delicious. I love the service here. There was a miscommunication in my order, but the staff was happy to resolve it and take care of me. The dining experience is also pleasant. If you're looking for a cute little set up for casual dining, this is your spot. I haven't tried the pho yet, but I'm eager to return. read more

A gem in Corona! Had an amazing experience today at Pho Rex. After one of our favorite pho restaurants were closed today, we were eager to try a new spot to deem our favorite! Luckily, Pho Rex was located conveniently off the 15 freeway and we decided to give it a go after seeing all the great reviews! I am so happy we did. The staff were so welcoming and friendly off the bat, and they always served with a smile. We were greeted by four different staff members, all who were so kind and we truly felt that the service exceeded all expectations. On top of this, the food was beyond what we expected! My husband and I ordered two of the Signature #1 Pho soups and the Grilled Pork Rolls to start. Every dish exploded with flavor and was packed with so many meats and veggies. For the price, it was more food we could ask for or even fit in our stomachs! We ended up deciding to get two Thai teas with boba to-go, as well, seeing that the savory and spicy soup needed something sweet to finish it off. Overall, I am so appreciative of this restaurant's staff and their amazing food and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a warm, comforting meal that hits the spot. read more

The pho is decent. However this is the second time I found a bug in my to go order. The first time it was a fly that was stuck to the bottom of my noodles and this time it was ladybug read more

Couple times visit here, their food just delicious, comfort food. I always order egg roll, com bo luc lac, also pho with brisket, tripe, etc. Good portion, servers are sweet and nice. Let say the place clean enough, and perfect for small family, not for big party Good place around norco area, when you think too far to go other good pho restaurant around orange county read more

Wow! This place is awesome! When I first went inside, they didn't allow dogs, but they had outdoor seating! Perfect for my babies. The service was good and they were so nice. 5 stars bc the food is outright delicious! My husband and I are looking to buy me another car. I'm trying to convince my husband that M8 looks good with me! Ha ha ha. Well. You know how that goes. Car shopping is exhausting and you need food in the tummy! I was hungry! I ordered this pancake fried noodle thing with a stir shrimp, chicken, and beef. It had veggies and baby corn. Omg! So good! The flavor is explosive! It was one of the best things I ate so far this year! I also got chicken wings as an appetizer. The breading was perfect! It juat needed more flavor! I love the vietnamese fish sauce flavor. Love that sweet and salty! My husband got the pho dac biet. To be honest, the flavor made me feel it was good ol authentic pho BUT it didn't have the meat dac biet comes with. I'm not sure if this pho is catered to non asian demographic, but I wish the tendons, flank, and fatty brisket were all there. Other than that. The food here is super! I will definitely come again and try their cajun! It just looks so good! read more

When you and your partner aren't sure what to eat, always opt for a Pho spot! Noticeably, the weather has started cooling down as fall is approaching. While it's not quite the weather for soup, I was totally craving a bowl of Pho, while my boyfriend was more interested in getting some sort of plate. We ended up checking out Pho Rex in Norco and it did not disappoint. We started off with spring rolls and then we got a filet mignon pho (not pictured), and a spicy chicken plate. We switched back and forth on the pho and the plate and it was just the perfect portion and solved both of our cravings. I loved the heat on the chicken, it had a great amount of spice! The salad complimented the flavors wonderfully. Definitely recommend this spot, I loved the table side utensils and it was very clean. We got our orders almost right away. Will be returning! read more

Pretty chill spot, got the pho dac biet and it was fire. Shout out to the weekend closers, both waiter and waitress. Got me right when I asked for extra white onions and got me seated along with a water. Place was pretty calm beans . As for price, the quantity I got was definitely matching the quality (if not more.)

This is a new favorite spot I love to come to for some Pho. They make the best spring rolls, so it is a must every time I visit. I got my boyfriend to try their coconut juice, and he was OBSESSED!! I love how they actually add the coconut meat to the drink. read more

Good place with decent food and great customer service. I gave it 4 stars because while the food was good, something felt like it was missing--hard to say exactly what. I left satisfied, but not blown away. It's a nice spot, just not sure if I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

So this is my go to pho place but, for some reason the last few times we have been here they have messed up our order, mind you we go in and tell them exactly what we want. It literally happened 3 times in a row like how the heck. Customer service is good and food is good as well but, for some reason the cashier taking the order is not doing it right or the cook is not paying attention. I also notice the meat for the soup has got smaller not really worth it. We try so many times but, I guess we need to take our business somewhere else. read more

Our favorite Pho place! Such great food, good portion, and amazing price. We just love this place and come here whenever were craving a bowl. We have not tried any of their other dishes besides a few appetizers, but I am sure they are amazing. The staff is always very friendly as well. read more

Pretty decent but could be a lot better. Order to go and there were a few mistakes when I picked up. I wanted no onions and they have 3 kinds... green white and fried. Not sure why but they put all three on top. I also said no bok Choy and they put extra. No problem I took it off just annoying as I have a mild allergy to onions. I also ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they definetly were fishy. The peanut sauce was very watered down I usually prefer a thicker consistency. Overall experience with phone to pick up to dinner I rate a 3. I'll come back and dine in to try again but not a huge fan so far. read more

Well IT would say it's good until i I took a bite on the second roll and had a hair in it :( read more

The food is always good here not to toot my own horn but I used to come here every week everything about this place is good. And the service is good everyone is fast and the soup is always freshly made nothing was premade. The ambiance is nice with the music that isn't too loud and it isn't too quiet. It's perfect on a cold day. read more

The food was great and the service was quick. It was pretty busy for a pho restaurant at 8pm still. However, they were able to sit us down and bring out the food very quickly. I got pho and my friend got wonton soup. I have had wonton soup with boil wonton but they provided pan fried wonton and that was so interesting. It was still very delicious. The vibe and ambiance was very relaxed and family oriented. I would come back for a quick dinner. read more

pho is amazing, very flavorful broth. the quality of the veggies is good, always fresh. and their bahn mi is soooo good!! i highly recommend

The initial purpose for my stop here was to see what my Yelp friend, Rose S, was raving about. Pho Rex has been open for at least 2 years, and Mr B and I had yet to try their food. Rose and I had already agreed that the noodle dish (Pho Rex's #22) is a delightful, clean tasting Vietnamese meal, but cold, rainy weather had me focused on pho instead. I have to apologize to Rose for allowing my cravings to influence my choices for my first time around. Rose, you will eventually get a critique from me of their #22. So, fun intended, it was not hard to convince myself this was the perfect day to do a Pho taste challenge. We stuck with rare beef pho. Mind you, there are several more Vietnamese restaurants in town, but we made three stops today using two other places I already knew were winners. One to Pho Amore in Norco, then here, Pho Rex, on the border of Corona and Norco, and thirdly at Pho 36 in Corona. We ordered pho, all three to-go, then hustled home to do a side-by side taste test. First of all, Pho Rex has a wonderful ambiance. It's clean, friendly, nice decor, in a small setting. The mood was set with calming, soft meditation piano music. It was quite spa-like. Very relaxing. While waiting for our Pho to-go order, we chose to order an appetizer to eat there. Their egg rolls came out quickly and were filled with a tasty ground pork and minced vegetable filling. They were delicious, freshly fried, and served with whole lettuce leaves, mint leaves, shredded carrot, dikon radish, and cilantro. My only observation was that they were slightly smaller than some we had earlier that day from Pho Amore, in Norco, but not smaller by much. In their defense, they were also priced lower, so definitely not much of a deal breaker. I first sipped each broth before adding any meat or vegetables. In truth, the Pho Rex was the mildest, most neutral broth of the three. But that doesn't mean it was not good. I would recommend it, regardless, mostly because once you add the remainder of the ingredients, the differences seemed slight. But in comparison, Pho 36's broth had a definite star anise flavor that was delightful, and Pho Amore was somewhere in-between, a rich, herbal bone broth and darn good. All three places provided the same traditional additions, including thin rice noodles, onion, cilantro, fresh basil, jalapeños, and raw bean sprouts. All the additions were carefully bundled separately, to be personally assembled when you are ready. In all three cases, the beef steak was very thinly sliced, tender, and easily seared with the super hot broth. The large serving sizes included about 4.5 oz of steak and a quart of broth, comparable for all three. Frankly, there really were no losers. Pho Amore (Norco) was slightly more expensive than the other two, but I believe the steak meat was filet mignon so slightly more tender. To the above order, I added item #56, a pan fried rice noodle dish with shrimp, beef, and chicken, and a medley of vegetables in a delicate gravy. The rice noodle was prepared as little triangular, chewy wedges that had a seared surface. It was good. I appreciated that the gravy was not overly starchy and thick. I was impressed with the gracious service we were given as we were waiting for our to-go order and were nibbling on our egg rolls. One of the staff offered us some water, then surprised us with a cupful of steaming hot water with a slice of lime. Very thoughtful for a chilly, rainy day. Since fresh mint was included with the egg roll assembly, I dropped a couple of leaves in the hot water. A nice touch. I have no hesitation about returning but I have a boatload of pho to finish for now. I still have a mission to complete. That is, to make sure that #22 gets a fair shake. read more

This review is long overdue. This is one of our favorite restaurant. First off, let's me just mention how outstanding their service is. We would come here just for that alone. The best service I've ever seen at a pho place. The boys here make us feel so happy. That alone changes the atmosphere and gives us positive happy vibes. I also love the lady that works back in the kitchen. Every now and then she will bring out the food and I get super excited when I see her. I can't stress enough how much I love these people. Now for their food. I mentioned I would come here for their service alone, but thank god their food is also just as great. I have not been disappointed in the taste or the quality in the many times we've been there. Now the take out food, they give you so much filet with their pho that I'm wondering why they aren't charging more. I'll post some photos for references. When I dine in, I always get their crispy egg noodle either the seafood or the combination. Their com ga roti is so flavorful too. As appetizers, their crispy calamari and spring rolls are bomb. Basically, everything is good. We leave this place happy, full, and satisfied. We get excited to see the people here as much as the food. You guys, come check this place out. They are so under hyped and deserves all the loving. read more
