1. Special Combo : Slices of Steak, Flank, Lean Brisket , Fatty Brisket & Beef Meatballs / Phở Đặc Biệt. My FAVE!!
Jennifer G.

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!

43. Chicken Fried Rice
Shaheen N.

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.

pork banh mi
Cindy G.

i placed my order for a pork banh mi online and headed over immediately for pick up, thinking i'd have to sit and wait but it was ready! service was very quick and the cashier was super sweet. the restaurant was clean and the menu looked great. they have vietnamese food and cajun boil! will definitely come back to try the cajun boil.

Pho combination

As you can see it's was so delicious I had nothing left. Definitely worth a visit if u are a pho lover The service was fast and amazing also very peaceful and calm

First I want to say. I love to support my local businesses but this place I have been trying to give them so many chances but they have failed me. As you can see in my picture pho special and missing a few toppings. Also The price increase and the meat is less. Rather drive a little bit further out and better foods.

Good!
Susie T.

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!

A2. Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls
Raina W.

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!

Veggie Pho with no corn and no tofu (pho chay nuoc chay)
Christine N.

Love the veggie pho here with assorted veggies and most importantly veggie broth! It's nostalgic to me as I cannot have beef or chicken broth anymore, so they are on point with the seasoning in the veggie broth! Service was also quick and friendly. It's a small establishment with a mom and pop kind of feel.

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.) Again, taste buds were blessed Meant for norco location but put my review on the wrong one oops, but I'm sure corona location also smacks 0_0

Crispy egg noodle
Jackie L.

So I think the last pho I got was an anomaly because they have consistently provided good portions. Also we had the banh mi chicken and pork and crispy egg noodles. Best place ever! The food is prepared American style (I.e., no pate).

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.

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.

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!

I'm scared and intrigued. I'm happy to report back I will admit I jumped to conclusions. The vermicelli was delicious and we ordered both grilled pork and beef; IMO beef was tastier. The portions were generous and the veggies were crisp and fresh! The fries were crispy and the beef was very tender. This would be a great dish to share because of the mountain of fries! The seafood by the pound sparked my interest because I'm a fan of Boiling Crab. I got the cajun house special sauce medium. You can also pick garlic butter or lemon pepper for your sauce option. It came out super saucy and thick..good but not comparable to BC. This had more of an Asian stir fry sauce feel. The staff were very attentive and came frequently enough to check on the table for water, etc. I appreciated the gloves for my shrimp since it was so saucy. The restaurant was half full, mild white noise...you could still hear each other. Solid 4 stars.
