Best pho I've tried. The broth is absolutely tasty and full of flavor. This is the first time I eat pho as-is, without having to add hoisin sauce or sriracha. I'm telling you, the broth is perfection! It is a neat and clean restaurant. Service was good and price point was too. This is my second time here and def not the last. I had the brisket pho.

Food is good. They changed their portion size on the fried rice. We always get take out as they close whenever they want even though their hours are different on yelp and on the front door. Make sure you have your condiments if you take to go. Try the steak boat! So good!

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.

Service was prompt and friendly. The food was not impressive. When spring rolls are filled with iceberg lettuce and no herbs, that's a No from me. Too boring. Good peanut sauce. My kid liked the egg noodle soup. Great service. Probably won't be back unless the spring rolls improve.

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!

I had a craving for Vietnamese Banh Mi (sandwich) and packed up the fam and headed over to this location. I was not expecting to them to have such a great variety of Vietnamese dishes and I was tempted to order something other than the sandwich, but I stuck to my guns and ordered the pork banh mi and was not disappointed. The baguette was warm and soft but had a nice crust to it. As you may or may not know, the baguette makes the banh mi. The fillers that go inside the sandwich is secondary to the banh mi experience. Sometimes you get a baguette that is too hard and crusty that it tears the roof of your mouth up making it less enjoyable. My wife and daughter ordered the rice vermicelli noodles with egg rolls. Everything came out quickly and we tasted the dipping sauce that came with the vermicelli bowl and it was spot on. Had the right amount of sweetness to tartness just add chili to spice things up if that's your thing. We had great service and the prices are reasonable so it checks off the a lot of boxes.
