Oh my goodness! I was having such a bad day and this soup picked me right up! I got the veggie soup and it was so refreshing. I don't eat any animal products and it didn't taste fishy which was good because I don't want it to. My boyfriend got the meat combo bowl and he loved it as well! They were super nice and everything was very covid conscious. Will 100% be back! read more

5 Stars Pho - Veggie Vegetable Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

I don't know why this restaurant is always shady about giving the right amount of change to customers especially when you get it to go. Today I order the beef ball with tripe and shrimp spring rolls with fish sauce. The guy cashier with a pony tail doesn't give a heck about working here by the look of his attitude. No warm hello and he is just trying to get his paycheck. He even said my amount was $27 dollars very softly for two items. I gave him $40 dollars when in reality the food cost $19.30. He gave me back my change $19.70. When he suppose to give me back $20.70. One dollar short ? It is such a big deal because I own restaurant for their honesty. If you want tip money let me know but don't go behind my back and give me the incorrect change. This literally happen twice with this cashier when I went with my group of friends. Beware of him honestly. I thought this restaurant would change but apparently not. Second time is a charm and I'm not going here again. FYI: just double check your change when you paid in cash. Highly recommend paying it with card so the restaurant won't do you dirty like they did with me and my family. Food is decent I wouldn't say the pho is great. Noodles is soggy what a great day to start off with food right ? This is probably not the spot you want to hit for authentic food when you can eat at pho 99. Their pho is always excellent and good quality. They are honest with their customer service. Tip is always appreciate for them. I am about the pho life and if there is no good pho and honest about giving back your right amount of change. I'm leaving so therefore I'm not coming here again. read more

Excellent service! Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Music wasn't too loud or inappropriate. Food very good and filling! Thank you for a great experience! read more

The restaurant was very clean and spacious. Staff was extremely friendly and gave us great recommendations. The pho was delicious and the large order is huge! The large is only $1 more than the small size, so just go for the large and take the rest home for leftovers. :) read more

Delicious food and the staff was nice. It took a while for our food to be ready but it was worth the wait. Will go again!

Food here is good, price is decent. Important is service and cleanliness, which they have. Problems are that sometimes they don't pick up phone calls or it goes straight to voicemail and they get my orders wrong. I always have them repeat my orders just case. If they can improve on that, then it would be a five star. read more

We love the pho here! This is our spot. Great food, great prices. During covid they were open but the county made them close indoor dining again. So it's only Togo food. But if they feel like something can or should be warmed up they write notes on the lids. Which is helpful when food like this is usually for a sit down restaurant. But I'm so happy they are still open even for takeout! I can get my pho fix! read more

Oh man... this was My Fave pho for the LONGEST! I really don't know what happened. The staff is slow, our order came out not as prompt. Sad thing is that a Group of people came in 10 min after us and got theyre order first? How is that even possible... What in the world 5 star pho! You have a new server that looks overworked or just had never learned how to become a server (male black hair,white) not trying to come off rude but the Quality has dropped drastically! We ordered spring rolls to start off with and 2 bowls of pho.... I literally almost walked out of this restaurant. Good thing you guys brought our food out before time was up. I had a timer on for this moment. Also we ordered a Sprite and had to ask for it again. This has never ever HAPPENED before. The food got my bf sick, he literally had food poisoning. Did you guys Change cooks? Like im so disappointed in this restaurant and I use to send so many people here for good eats. Sadly to say i will never come here to eat ever again, i don't know if it's a Wednesday thing or what. But i left here with a change of heart on how i feel about this 5 STAR PHO. Might as well change your name to Risky Pho. Because damn you guys definitely Lost my loyalty. Farewell 5 star pho. I guess i'll Continue to go to Pho Star Bowl. (They haven't failed me for the past 4 years) read more

Be very careful check your receipt against menu prices, went in yesterday and 4 items were charged higher. Kid said register was acting up likely story because they got caught. Now chicken fried rice is half orders those are 1 of the items that were charged $16.00, use to serve in a white styrofoam container now comes in a plastic container half the size. Not worth it over priced and portions are smaller. read more

Their chicken broth and beef broth are both amazing. Flavorful, clear, clean flavors. I've ordered their pho and other noodle dishes, and I think they're the best around. The BBQ pork bahn mi is also a thing of beauty not to be missed. read more

Ordered ahead and the staff paid close attention to make sure my order was complete, prepared quickly, and ready to go when I walked in the door. The staff were very attentive and helpful and following all COVID-related regulations. The food itself was super yummy! I drove a bit out of my way because I know that the restaurants they have in other areas are good, so it was well worth the drive. I'll definitely be coming back more often as the weather gets colder--a bowl of pho never disappoints :) read more

Hands DOWN BEST PHO ever! I drove from L.A. to meet up with one of my friends from college. We decided to have lunch at the 5 Star Pho. It was delicious. It reminded me of a Pho spot in Chico, CA. The prices are great. I find it a steal. Suppose there was one closer to L.A. I would be a regular customer. I will certainly return in the future. read more

Decided to check this place out after an ER trip with my wife. We were hungry so seen this place on yelp. It did not dissapoint, place was very clean in the dining area. Bathrooms were also clean. I decided to get the pad thai, it was served hot and the flavor was off the chain! It was not overly sweet like many other places. Dish was served very appealingly. My wife got the combination PHO and loved it. Also ordered the bedf spring rolls that were also great. Highly recommend this spot and we will for sure be back. read more

It tasted ok to me. I've had better and fresher Pho at another place. I feel this place was way overpriced for the portion and taste.

A 5-Star review, for 5 Stars Pho Restaurant. BRAVO! Well there I was, about to try their food when I was already thinking of leaving them a 5-star review! First of all, the service was excellent! My server was Abby, she helped me understand menu item differences without any problems, she was very helpful and eager to explain everything, she took her time, and made sure I understood. I also met another server named John, he was very pleasant to talk to as well. And then there was Blake, he hooked me up with extra sweet and sour sauce after I asked him for some. All in all they were all great and helpful in every way, all smiles there! Secondly, the food was fresh, clean, and delicious! So I had the Rice Noodles Soup, paired with their Summer Rolls, which came with the peanut sauce but I asked for sweet & sour sauce for the Summer Rolls and it was delicious! The rice noodle soup comes with the sprouts and basil and lemon and jalapeno...all fresh ingredients to add to your soup. I like it spicy, so I even added their chili garlic sauce...oooooh I was sweating, and loving it!!! I've been to 2 other Pho places, one in Riverside, and one in Orange County, but this one here has better tasting food, and as I said, great service. Thank you everyone for making my experience a wonderful one, I will be back, as my favorite go to place for Pho from now on! Oh, I didnt't snap any pics, but I will be doing so on my very next visit. Keep doing what you are doing, and I will keep coming back! See you soon guys! read more

Was not great . Fried rice was not good at all . The pho was good,everyone else blah .

I've been to this place about 4 times now and I would say the pho broth was pretty good 3 out of 4 times. I came last night and the pho broth was a little different, couldn't tell what it was. Maybe it was because I was there at night so the broth was a bit watered down? The last 3 times when the broth was pretty good, I was there during early and mid-afternoon. So I'm guessing the time of day really makes a difference. I usually get the Pho Dac Biet Xe Lua and sometimes with a side order of egg rolls. The pho comes with a generous portion of meat! You can choose to have it with fresh (flat, thicker noodles) or pre-made noodles (original pho noodles). I would suggest going in early to mid-afternoon because the broth has always been good during that time of day. They don't give you the tiny dipping sauce bowls unless you ask for it. The egg rolls are good, I wish they were a bit more crispy, but nonetheless, I would get them again. It came with a side of cucumber cut in thick strips with lettuce and a little bit of pickled carrots & daikon. I added the chili sauce with seeds to the nuoc mam for a nice kick. Customer service here is also pretty good, they are attentive even when they are busy! read more

My wife and I were looking for a good spot to go to for a late night date and we had been wanting to go here so we decided to go based on the good reviews. To start off we were only able to have take out which should have been a red flag to start off yes they were almost closing but it was enough time for us to finish up and leave with time to spare. We ordered orange chicken with fried rice, spring rolls, and pad Thai my total was $51.50 and let me tell u that the orange chicken was swimming in orange juice sauce the chicken was hard and the pad thai smelled and tasted horrible it spelled bitter like if something was spoiled. With that being said me and my wife took a small bite and hours later my wife and I were both throwing up and the next day we both had the runs. read more

I grub hub here more than I would like to admit. Lol! Always delicious. Awesome proportions. End up having leftovers for another meal.

My husband and I decided to try this place bc it is right by our church building. The place is pretty big inside....could use a little decor. We got seated right away and our food came out quickly. We ordered the fried egg Bahn Mi sandwich. It was ok....the bread was fresh and hot but you have to assemble it yourself and there is really no sauce...so we added the hoisin sauce on the table....that was pretty good. My husband ordered the Combination Beef Phó. I ordered the vegetarian beef broth Phó. We both loved the soups! The broth is very flavorful and clear. His had lots of meats and mine had lots of veggies and tofu. Also I had the iced Jasmine green tea. It is delicious! We will be back! read more

I am shocked at the quality of my order I received here. I put in order for take and they told me the wait time would be 15 minutes because everything was "fresh". I don't live far from this restaurant but when I got home I was pissed to learn that my broth was cold. It felt lukewarm on the styrofoam so I didn't think to check with my finger to see exactly how hot the broth would be to cook the meat. (Side note: the meat is given raw so that it cooks in what should've been hot as hell broth). A few minutes later I check on the meat and notice that there is no change. I then check the broth and realize it's freaking cold!!! I'm pissed!! I paid to cook my own damn soup. If that was the case I would've saved my money and made a cup o'noodle in the microwave. At this point I don't even care about the flavor and so turned off by the idea of getting cold food. My regular spot closes at 9 and I missed the mark. I came in with 40 minutes before closing, so there was plenty of time still left that I wasn't one of those "last minute" people. I didn't read anywhere about the broth being served cold or having to heat it up yourself. I've been trapped behind a computer doing homework all day, I didn't want the extra hassle of prepping my food, hence why I ordered take out. Call it being spoiled or whatever you want but nobody goes to a burger joint to come back home and grill the damn burger. read more

I've lived by this place since it opened and never stopped to try it. Today, I was not feeling so well and I was craving ramen but instead I figured I'd try this place out. Lemme tell ya... I was not disappointed. The staff is amazing. Super friendly and helpful. This was my first time trying pho and I loved their recommendation. Will be back for sure! read more

5 Stars Pho - #21 sooo good! - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

Please update your hours on Google. It says open until 8:30, showed up at 7:30 only to find a sign brightly flashing the words "closed." We used to love coming here but this has happened several times that we just decided to find another place that actually stays open until their official close time. I suppose if you have the fortune to find them open, they have some tasty food. read more

The waiter was so friendly, he kindly suggested his favorite plate, the shaken Beef. I've always wanted to try it... so, I ordered it. Let me tell you, you won't be disappointed so much flavor in one spoonful. Chicken pho comes with chicken breast and lite broth full of flavor with soft noodles. Pretty much, try this place. read more

My favorite pho restaurant!!! Never disappointed even when taking my food to go! The service is always great and fast. Very clean!

We used to enjoy eating here for our soup cravings. I say soup because we don't eat the pho here; we get the egg noodle wonton soup. Anyway, we ate here on 5/11/22 and it was a disappointment on several levels. We ordered a large egg noodle soup and an order of shrimp spring rolls. My husband's soup came out and it didn't look like a large (we used to order the large to go a lot during the height of COVID so we know the amount it should look like). He proceeded to eat the soup and said it wasn't that good. Bland. Small portion for a "large". Meanwhile, I still haven't received my spring rolls... which is a 3 piece appetizer. Fast forward: my husband finished his soup, still no rolls. Another customer walks in, orders spring rolls and gets their spring roll order before mine has even had a chance to make it out. 5 other seated customers also receive their food. Now I'm pissed because I'm hungry and it's been over 30 minutes of me waiting on simple spring rolls. I decided to go and just pay for our food at the front and I tell the cashier that I never got my spring rolls. So he double checks his little iPad ordering book to check my order and then proceeds to say oh yeah I'll get that for you right now. (How about an apology for forgetting my food??) He then rings me up and gives me the total. I ask if we can just have the spring rolls to go and can he give them to me free or a big discount or something because the wait was ridiculous. He took off 2 dollars on our order. I'm sorry but I've worked in the food industry and have dealt with similar situations like this at other establishments and the food is usually free or greatly reduced because the staff knows they effed up. Customer service: 0/5 Food: 1/5 read more

This was a great places to go to during covid and had great first impressions the server was so kind and I just happen to be there during the first day they reopened I ordered # 23 which was the large pho with beef and tendon and we also got combination Fried rice and also the special combination pho which I think was number #17 the cook or owner is from vietnam so you really taste the authenticity of the broth and the noodles the portions was good and also large as I have been to pho restaurant around garden grove, Anaheim, and Orange County. Great place to go and I would go again read more

Place was nice and very slug feeling. Service was great and fast. Ordered crispy eggrolls which was amazing. Also got a chance to ordered the ribeye pho and it was good, wish the noodles were a lil softer in the beginning but overall both plates were completely emptied and will be returning! read more

Worst Pho ever, I counted 3 slices of beef!! I don't know how they get these ratings and positive review...oh and don't order Thai Tea with BOBA, they will give you Thai Tea with round Jello, far from Boba!!!! Never again! read more

Taste really good, fresh ingredients and love their Thai Tea w Boba. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Being originally from the Westminster/Garden Grove (Lil Saigon) area, I am very picky about my Pho! After years of trying different Pho restaurants, I have found my go-to spot. The broth tastes amazing and you can also ask for fresh thick noodles. Their great service also deserves consideration unlike many Pho places. I prefer this place than the overhyped Pholicious in OC. No need to wait half an hour to get seated. read more

Came here today with my parents and ordered the #24 Small Round Eye Steak Pho with thin noodles. My parents ordered the combination pho with fresh noodles (thick). This is my parents' go to spot for pho and they come here pretty often. The only downside is that they don't have the bun bo hue. The broth came steaming hot and the beef in my pho was pretty good. It actually tasted like beef, unlike some of the other pho places around here. When it came time for paying, I had a FiveStar reward of 20% off the bill, but my mom went to pay. I got up from my seat and tried to see if they could honor the discount. John (guessing that he's the owner's son) was super helpful and nice. He immediately tried to help me out and calculated the discount on his phone then refunded it to my mom. Overall, this is a pretty decent place for pho if you're in the Riverside area and want something steaming hot and soupy. read more
