This small unassuming spot in a strip mall could be something special. The moment you walk in the aromatic scents hits you like a savory cloud of beef broth. Inside the chairs, tables have an inexpensive look, and the condiments on the table could use a wipe down. It's the kind of "hole-in-the-wall" where the focus is clearly on the kitchen rather than the decor or cleanliness. We tried the shrimp pho, which was fresh and light, and the short rib pho. While the short rib pho was a bit greasy, it was flavorful and tender. Service was satisfactory considering there were only two parties inside dining in. Prices for the meal are reasonable and match the portion sizes. The broth itself fell short of authentic; it had that taste of a premade base rather than one simmered from scratch for hours. It's a convenient stop and friendly service but pho enthusiasts may be let down.
Cold day? PHO! Have a cold? PHO! I'm a pho connoisseur. I love looking for the best broth flavors- not too much cumin, hearty but not salty. They nail it here. We keep coming back. Service is pretty quick and you order at the counter. The space itself isn't very large but they usually always have seating available.
The service was a bit slow. Waited about 15 to 20 minutes to get served. After finishing asked for the check a few times. It is now going on over 10 minutes. The broth in the Pho was okay but a bit oily. The beef they added to the soup tasted a bit old and the meat was tough. The Spring rolls with the peanut sauce was the best thing I had today. The condiments on the table had a sticky oily feeling to them. It was very hot and stuff inside. They needed to turn on the A/C.
Decent Vietnamese restaurant in Norco. The Pho soup came out piping hot but the meat was extremely tough. The garlic noodles with shrimp was delicious but the portion for $20 was too small. The restaurant and bathroom needs a deep clean. While the food hit the spot after a soccer tournament in Norco, we most likely will not be returning again.
This is an excellent pho spot that truly stands out for its variety and consistent quality across the entire menu. While many places only master the broth or a single dish, this restaurant excels at everything they serve. The broth is a bit on the sweeter side, which I actually find really enjoyable and pairs perfectly with their other offerings. Everything we tried was absolutely to die for! We even ordered an extra round of wings to go because they were that good. Don't skip out on their house sauces either--they really tie the meal together.
Spotted Rib Pho on the menu at Pho Amor and couldn't resist.... obviously i had to see what the hype (in my own head) was about. Walked in and was greeted by Tommy, super welcoming and full of good vibes!! Started w the Tofu Spring Rolls.... fresh, solid, and the peanut sauce did what peanut sauce does best.... made everything better!!!!! Then came the main event, the Rib Pho. The broth was flavorful, clearly made w love (and bones). The ribs were delicious, though I'll admit I was expecting a bit more meat for the momentous occasion. Let's just call it quality over quantity. Overall, Pho Amor's got the goods. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and staff who actually seem happy you're there. More people should be slurping noodles here!!
Everytime I come here I leave super satisfied! I thoroughly enjoy the filet mignon pho (meat has to be outside) :) I had the pleasure of having Tommy as my server. He was very kind and attentive. Customer service is very important to me and this place has been very consistent. I love that they have wifi and I was able to do my homework and multi task. It was 8:30p when I finished and Tommy did not rush me out. I asked if I could stay and do my work and it was not a problem. I really appreciated that. I was born in Hawaii and I do love a good pho. There a ton of places I have tried that are just meh, but this is not one of them. The broth is perfect all on its own and always hits the spot. Must try!!!
Today, I went to my favorite Vietnamese place for a couple banh mi sandwiches, and I was given this free drink because they said it was too hot outside. The care the new owners give to their customers is first rate. It's gone through a few different owners, but I have to say the food has also substantially improved. I highly recommend the banh mi sandwiches, but I also would recommend coming in for the garlic noodles with salmon.
Price is cheap. Around 14$ food is good as well. I like the bread it's crispy with soft beef in your mouth. It looks simple but the taste is amazing! Place is tiny.
So the broth is fairly dark and it looks like they used a lot of soup base?, but don't hold it against them. Typically the broth should be clear not opaque . It does have good flavor. Got the house a special pho, which is always a good way to evaluate a restaurant. As far as for Norco it's probably the number one place in Norco. It's not like it's wet-min-ta level. But if you're in the area and you need to get your noodle fix on, this is probably a good choice. Bowl was kind of lacking tendon and tripe, but I can understand how charging $15 gets you some of the basic elements that make up a decent bowl. Support this family, biz, shake it down to the Riz. It's just a little hole in the wall, but they got everything for all.
Pho Amor definitely has potential, and overall I had a solid experience here. First off, the service deserves a shoutout. The cashier was genuinely friendly, patient, and actually helpful when it came to recommending what to order. That kind of hospitality immediately sets the tone and makes you want to come back. I ordered their pho with ribs. The broth itself was the best part: clean, comforting, and nicely seasoned without being overly salty. You can tell they're aiming for a balanced flavor rather than trying to overpower you with MSG or sweetness. That said, the rib meat was a little disappointing for me. It leaned on the tougher side and had a slightly gamey taste, which took away from what could've been a great bowl. Now the surprise highlight: the banh mi bread they sell. Seriously, if you come here for anything, come for that. The bread was excellent, and the beef banh mi hit the mark. Great texture, satisfying bite, and overall the most memorable part of the meal. I ended up enjoying that more than the pho.

This place is always good! We have tried bun, different kinds of pho, garlic noodles/filet, and egg rolls multiple times and the flavors are always consistent. A hidden gem! read more

After taking my dogs to the doggy park nearby, I decided to grab some vietnamese food. The area is nostalgic to me because I used live here but I dont remember eating here much. However, I recently read their reviews and laughed that they give straight peanut butter as a dipping sauce for their spring rolls. That is a big no-no. Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here. read more

An unassuming little eatery with great food and great service. The Pho really hit the spot, with good portions and flavorful broth. And the garlic fried chicken wings were fresh from the frier: incredibly crispy and juicy. read more

I saw this pho place in a strip mall in norco. It had a big screen where you can order on your own whether take out or dine and settle the bill right there. A lady then tried to help me but i was already enjoying ordering through the screen. I ended up ordering the combination pho and it was absolutely a hit. Big bowl of good soup and a lot of different meats. Put your lime and chilis with that soup base... its so good. Just for an extra kick and want to really clean your nostrills add some chili garlic that's on the table. Finished it quickly that i had to get another plate because the food was so good. For second round i got the all in plate, which was grilled beef, pork and chicken. It had fresh veggies and house sauce (fish sauce?) that i enjoyed plus the white rice had a subtle flavor that made the meal better. All in all this place may seem to be quiet, but the food is made fresh and the flavor you'll get is worth your time. read more
Went here because I was in the mood for hot soup and I read that this place has vegetarian options. It's located at a strip mall and there's parking right in front reserved for customers. The decorations are nice and the place is clean. I ordered to go even though we planned to eat in just so we'd already have containers for the leftovers, but it made us laugh when I started unwrapping the spring rolls because the edible wrapper looked like the plastic wrapper they were wrapped in. I was like "Wait, that's the part we eat!" It was also a nice surprise when the cashier said that our Thai ice teas would be free since it was our first time there. For to go, they put the noodles and other ingredients in a bowl, the broth in another container, and the sauces and other extra stuff are wrapped separately so you can add and leave things out to your taste. If you're trying to eat vegan, though, you're out of luck because they only have a choice between chicken and beef broth. Otherwise, it was all really good. read more

Found our new favorite Pho spot! 10/10. Large portion and lots of protein. Flavorful and well seasoned. The spring rolls were refreshing 7/10. Filet mignon garlic noodles (8/10) were great just wish there would be a little more protein added to the dish. Staff were very friendly and welcoming! Chill, clean environment. Will be coming back! read more

What a bummer! This place used to be the best Vietnamese restaurant I had ever had. Friends from OC and SGV didn't believe that Norco would have a good viet spot, until they tried it. I knew that it had been sold, but I expected them not to mess with the ingredients or recipes. Ordered take out today and I initially thought they had forgotten to pack the veggies for the egg rolls. They used to be packed separately. When I opened up the egg roll box I saw that they had placed them inside with the egg rolls. Not great but whatever. Then realized that instead of the traditional butter lettuce that's supposed to be used, they gave us iceberg. After taking a bite of the egg roll I was immediately disappointed. It's not just that it tasted bad. It's that it tasted bad and also didn't taste like a Vietnamese egg roll. Then comes the pho. The broth was bland and the quality of the meat had gone from what tasted like prime before to a weird stringy consistency. I'm not mad at them. I'm just bummed that we had a such a good local spot before, and are now stuck with this. read more

My wife, sister and I were craving Vietnamese food and came across Pho Amor. It is a gem in Norco! *Just a heads up, you order, pay, and then find an open table to sit. Everything we ordered was delicious! 1) All In Pho - The broth was flavorful and the bowl was filled with so much meat and noodles. 2) All In Grilled Plate - All 4 protein (beef, pork, shrimp and chicken) were marinated and grilled very well. 3) Beef Banh Mi - This was a great surprise! The beef was tender and full of flavor. The vegetables were fresh. And the bread was spot on. We love supporting local "Mom & Pop" restaurants. Hungry and looking for a great meal? Do yourself a favor and stop by Pho Amor! read more
