    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, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is a little lonely but peaceful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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

    Best pho in riverside thank you for the great service

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ate for lunch . Service was ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to their restroom no toilet seats and no towels[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . 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.

I remember coming here a few years ago when the restaurant wasn't even full. Well deserved Pan Dumpling House! The food was good! I ordered the liang pi cold noodles and a pork burger.

I spent around $77 including tip which was 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main plates. Actually, they don't have just a side of fried rice, so we were forced to buy it as a main plate. Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

Service was extremely slow for it not being busy. They were a bit stingy on the lemon wedges and veggies. There were three of us and we ordered three bowls of Pho. We got one small plate of veggies and two lemon wedges. When we asked for more lemons, waiter looked over at our table to make sure we actually needed more lemons. When we asked for a sauce plate/cup, he looked bothered. Well next time just put little sauce plates on the table and we wouldn't have to ask you to get it. Like how do they not know people like to dip their meats in Siracha and Hoison sauce. Not everyone just pours it into the bowl. When we ordered our Pho, we also ordered a Banh Mi sandwich as a to go order. At the end of our meal, my wife went to pay and the check included the price with the sandwhich. She paid and asked how long the sandwich would take, they said, "what sandwich!" Uh, the one we just paid for. Cashier looked confused and asked to see the receipt. Then he went to the back and asked about the sandwich. We could hear someone in the back saying they didn't make a sandwich. Cashier apologized and we waited another 12 minutes for the sandwich. Pho was actually good but a bit on the pricey side. $20 for the Dac Biet. Next time we'll just go to Pho Ha down the street for better noodles at a cheaper price and they won't charge you for a sandwich that doesn't exist.

The broth is so flavorful as well and has depth. I feel a lot of broths I've had lacked richness.

That said, the quality of the food made it worth the wait. We'd definitely come back for the ramen!

Our entire family grieved the loss of one of the best dim sum and Chinese cuisine restaurants in the Riverside area. But lately, there was a lot of talk, good talk, that the same owner had reopened here, a tinier bistro setting, not as flashy interior. So here we are, finally, late to the party, but sublimely happy. First things first. An order of their siu mai. Still just as plump, with their signature, wonderful pork- shrimp filling, my taste buds let out a big sigh of relief. I've had to endure some pretty horrible ones from other restaurants lately. Big Skyy's is superb. Next, the black bean pork ribs. Wonderful, just as we remembered. A healthy portion, plenty of meat in spite of the bones. Great gravy. Finally, the eggplant with beef. This one was extra special, made with generous amounts of filet mignon, eggplant cut in spears, cooked in a salty sweet garlic sauce that is very special. It was melt-in-your-mouth, swoon worthy. One of my favorites. They still accommodate large family groups, a few big round tables for 6 or more. The staff was very friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. They feature the same marvelous menu and the same chef who creates those traditional Chinese dishes with pizzazz. It's wonderful to re-acquaint ourselves with an old "friend". It's even better to know, the important things we remembered have not changed a bit. You would be right to assume we will be back!
