    Side noodle
    Gabriel L.

    This place is a great spot to stop in at and enjoy a great bowl of pho. Their combination rice and vermicelli is delicious they also have great appetizers and drinks. The waiters were very attentive and approachable and we got our mail very quickly

    Bo Luc lac-amazing

    Food is amazing, the staff is very kind I had a pho ga and a Bo Luc Lac, the ambiance is a little lonely but peaceful. No sharing a picture of my pho cause my bowl is empty

    The beef rice noodle section on the menu.

    Amazing food, amazing service, amazing people. We go there regularly, and they even give us a free Pepsi, cookies, and candies. The staff is the sweetest, very nice. They'll fill your cup of water like every chance they get, greeting you right at the door with utensils and water. The portions are huge, and the food is so good, not a thing is missing, and the prices are reasonable too. grilled meat over vermicelli noodles and the Ribeye pho are a fave

    Mixed veggies

    The place was ok. Ate for lunch . Service was ok. I went to their restroom no toilet seats and no towels . Informed the staff. The food was average. Fried egg rolls were good and tasty . The spring beef rolls were bland. The inside content has small slice of beef and full of noodles. The peanut sauce was so thick that the flour was clumped together. The mixed vegetables with rice was disappointing. The veggies were all small serving and the bokchoy and Napa cabbage were all stems. The #22 pho soup was ok. But the condiment like the Thai basil leaves were wilted . This is based on my own experience. I didn't take a pictures much not really impressed.

    Best pho in riverside thank you for the great service

    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.

    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!

It's also kind of funny that there's literally a jacuzzi in the middle of the floor, so definitely watch where you step As soon as we walked in, the food smelled SO good. You can tell they're working really hard, and I was honestly impressed by how big the menu is for a restaurant being run out of someone's home. We got the fire brisket and the pork skewers, and both were really good! The pork skewers were definitely my favorite. You could tell they were freshly charred, and they tasted amazing with the sauce. For drinks, we got the Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea. The Vietnamese coffee was a little bitter and super strong, which is usually how Vietnamese coffee is, but still good! The Thai tea was really good too. I even watered mine down a little as I drank it so I could get more out of it, which I swear I do every time I get Thai tea at a Vietnamese restaurant The portions were pretty generous too. Some people might think the prices are a little high, but considering it's a small at-home restaurant and we brought home enough leftovers to basically have another meal, I thought it was pretty worth it. They also have such a beautiful view overlooking the Corona hills, which makes the whole backyard dining experience even better. Definitely check their hours before making the drive because they're only open on certain days and for a limited amount of time. We got lucky and there was no line when we went! Also, make sure you have Zelle, Venmo, or cash ready for payment. Such a cute hidden spot and a really unique experience. I'd definitely come back, especially during the winter when I feel like the backyard setting and a hot bowl of pho would be even cozier!

The pork buns had a subtle sweet and tender meat and the bun itself was fluffy. The lan fried dumplings didn't taste pan fried, they tasted deep fried and were a little too crispy. The filling was tender as had a lot of meat. The Xiao long bao had a nice amount of broth in them but the flavor was a little subtle. The shao mai are huge. They're almost too big and there's so much meat. I would enjoy a little more dumpling dough. The house special fried rice was amazing. The rice was moist, the meats were cooked perfectly, and it was aromatic with a nice umami flavor. My favorite item of the evening was the house special fish. The glaze in this lightly breaded fish was amazing. It gave a little sweet, a little savory, a little spicy. It was cooked with onions and mushrooms. I will come back just for this. The service was great. We were seated immediately and they bring the food out as they prepare it. The ambiance is casual. They have a small dining area near the counter to order and a larger area off to the side. They offer booth and table seating and can accommodate a larger area off party. Give them a try if in the Fontana area.

Though the servers are friendly, they just seat, you, take your order and deliver your food. That's it. they don't come back to check on you or clear away dirty plates. I saw this with the tables around us. So we only tipped 10% as they didn't care to "serve" us. Our pho came quickly but we had to wait awhile for the basil/sprouts/jalapenos and lime, which were a skimpy. We waited so long we got up to ask if we were going to get any and they said yes, it's on it's way. All pho restaurants bring that plate out immediately after ordering. A heaping plate. Would have been nice if they told us this platter was on it's way. We were partially through our bowl when it arrived. I ordered my usual, Pho Tai. Most pho places serve the thinly sliced beef rare, over the hot broth and noodles. I would swish it in the broth and it's cooked. This place broth the beef fully cooked, not thinly (not shaved) sliced and the meat was of poor quality. Very tough. The broth was good but not much flavor. No check was presented, so we assumed we have to go up front to pay. That's when the server got up from a booth where she was relaxing to check us out. Again, hence the 10% tip.

    This place has an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu which is pretty cool! Unfortunately, I wasn't…read moresuper impressed with the food I tried. I ordered a vegan pho and a vegan banh mi. The pho was the better of the two. I liked the vegan spiced beef meatballs but the airy and light fried tofu in the pho didn't feel texturally comparable to sliced beef in pho. I also didn't feel like there was enough protein in the bowl, since normally pho is packed with a variety of different meats. The flavor of the soup was nice and the amount of noodles was satisfactory as well. The banh mi was not so good. I liked the crinkle cut radish and carrots but that's about all. The sliced beef meatballs and the fried tofu again didn't really evoke the taste and texture of meat in a banh mi, and the protein was basically just a few thin non-overlapping slices per section of the sandwich. The worst offender-- the sandwich was dry. Vegan should mean vegan mayo, not no mayo at all. It was sooooo dry. I had to take it home and add my own mayo. I don't hate this restaurant, and I really appreciate the willingness to incorporate a vegan friendly menu. However, the pho and banh mi missed the mark for me. I think I'd just order different items next time, like some of the saucy stir fry plates instead.

Secondly, it tasted really good. I ordered the vegetarian rice noodles. My only regret is that I didn't tell them I wanted the big flat noodles, so they defaulted to the skinny spaghetti-like ones. Now I know that even if they don't ask, tell them what I'd prefer anyway. Lastly, the portions are big enough to bring leftovers home which is a big deal for me since eating out can be expensive. If I'm paying that much, being able to get a second meal out of it is much appreciated. Parking wasn't an issue. I immediately found one right in front of the restaurant. As for the restaurant itself, it's modern and clean. Beware that if you end up sitting facing the windows like I did, I was blinded by the sun shining off a car window, so I had to scoot all the way inside the booth. It's because the door is made of glass and unlike the other windows it doesn't have signs to block glare. When I was about to leave, I told them there was no more toilet paper in the restroom and they went out of their way to stop what they were doing to get more for me. Apparently, the cabinet inside the restroom was empty, so one of the employees had to call another employee for help and they found more in another cabinet outside the restroom. I quite enjoyed my experience here and just writing this I'm already craving more of the food I had ordered.
