    The beef rice noodle section on the menu.
    Nayeli S.

    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

    Best pho in riverside thank you for the great service

    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.

    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.

    Egg Rolls

    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!

The food here never made me sick and it never tasted funny. Everything comes out pristine and beautiful. The portions are so big that a small eater like me can save this for another meal. The waiters are also attentive and willing to help out -- they hired the right people! I really like the atmosphere this place has. It's perfect for talking and it's a great place to go to after final exams. The waiters help out a lot, but they generally leave you alone unless you raise your hand. It's a great atmosphere

It was not too loud in there and the place was relatively empty so that was nice. Biggest disappointment was service, because our table ordered chow mein and the waiter brought us chow fun (flat noodles with gravy). When we told him that we ordered chow mein, he told us that what we ordered was chow fun, so I showed him what we ordered on the menu and he said "you wanted lo mein". While I get that, he spent a minute trying to figure out where the item was and couldn't find it. I reviewed pics on here and it seems like other people got the thick yellow noodles for chow mein. Anyway, they replaced it for us but I overheard the waiter tell his manager that we ordered chow fun by accident. The manager then told us something about "our mistake" upon paying, placing blame on us . The manager was nice about it, but we repeatedly told the waiter chow mein and he kept correcting us to chow fun. Also, there is a section of the menu labeled chow mein and a separate page labeled chow fun. I think I know what we ordered. Disappointing.

He loved the bbq chicken wings so much and has never wanted to eat chicken before this. I was extremely happy about that. I decided to bring him back 2 days later to celebrate his 3rd birthday and asked before i came if they sing happy birthday to kids and the girl at the front seemed unsure so she went to ask and came back and told us they do sing happy birthday and will give him a slice of pie i decided to stay based on that because i specifically wanted him to feel special today and take him somewhere he actually would eat the food. I did ask again when the server came to confirm and she advised us they are unable to sing happy birthday and they have never done that. My face dropped since that was the reason i came mainly. Otherwise i would have taken it to go and not drove an hour away here. To say the least he did eat the food after crying about no birthday song as a mom i am very upset about that but it is what it is. I won't celebrate anymore birthdays here. I did tell a manager about the experience who was very kind and did tell me they stopped doing that years ago so now i know. I decided the take the food to go since my son was already upset unfortunately but the manager was so sweet and said they can still sing to him but i decided to still go because i know how my son is once i already say something won't happen. I gave 2 stars due to the manager being very kind and trying to fix the situation. I will still come here to bring my son to eat since he loves their bbq chicken regardless. It doesn't take away from the fact they have really good food just a bad one time experience hopefully

We almost always order the pad Thai, and I'm normally the volcanic ramen guy, but since it was Valentine's Day, I went with the falling ramen instead. Still full of flavor, just without the spice level trying to prove a point. We actually showed up about an hour before our reservation, which was already early for Valentine's dinner. The moment I told Lily the reservation was under Jacqueline, she lit up and said, "Oh, she's my favorite," and sat us right away. That's the kind of place this is. Service over the past year can be quick or a little slower depending on the night, but we never feel rushed, and that relaxed pace is part of why we like it. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, and they do a great job with allergy-friendly options. There's a gluten-free menu, and peanuts only show up if you request them. Since our daughter has food allergies, she actually looks forward to when we go here and usually puts in her own to-go order. You know a restaurant is doing something right when both the adults and the kids are happy. This has become our regular spot--no pretense, no pressure, just good food and people who treat you well.

From the moment we walked in, something felt off, and it quickly became clear the restaurant was significantly understaffed. We later learned the same person was acting as the cook, cashier, and server. It took over an hour for any food to begin coming out to our table, and even after nearly two hours, meals were still trickling out. I never received my food at all. What made this even more frustrating was that there was no clear way to communicate with staff. There was no cashier available, and we weren't able to let anyone know we wanted to cancel the order given how long it had been. My spouse ended up paying for a meal I never received. After waiting that long, I eventually had to leave without eating dinner at all. I came home and had a protein shake instead, which is not how anyone expects their night to go after going out to eat. To be fair, others in our party who did receive their food said it tasted very good, which makes this even more disappointing. I understand that this may have been an off night, but the lack of communication, excessive wait, and inability to resolve the issue made for a really poor experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
