Immediately greeted and seated upon entering by a young man, who also took our orders. He was very helpful with the menu and answered my questions. The staff here is very serious. We interacted with three of them and none of them smiled. Average noise, I don't remember if there was music playing in the background. Reasonable menu prices and great tasting food, but I will say a smile goes a long way. I would definitely be back. Also, depending on the time of the day, it can be difficult to find a parking space. read more

This place is a very cute hole in the wall restaurant. Upon entering, the decor makes this place cozy with a jungle vibe due to the plants. The service was great and the people were very nice. The lemongrass beef spring rolls were some of the best I've had. The beef was super tender and the veggies were very fresh. The broth of the pho was so good that I didn't even need any hoisin sauce. I only added a tiny bit of sriracha and extra extra limes because I love it sour. The meatballs in the soup tasted homemade and were the best I've had so far in California. I am definitely going back there on my next trip back to Murrieta. 10/10 recommend. read more

Pho Doa - Pho and BBQ Beef Lemongrass spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Murrieta, California

Food was great but staff was horrible. Couldn't take my food to go even when we offered to pay extra for a to go container. Instead I was just given really bad attitude. Terrible. So much food left over and EXPENSIVE gone to waste. read more

Recently found this place when I was craving some spring rolls after work and I've been coming here pretty often on my lunch breaks since then. I usually get #69, which is a lemongrass BBQ pork vermicelli salad. So good, it's my go to. I also like to get the BBQ pork spring rolls (#25) instead of the regular steamed shrimp. The prices are not bad, around $15 for an entree. Servers are super nice and attentive as well. 10/10 would recommend :) read more

Don't let the fake review score fool you. I entered and was immediately greeted by a very nice, pleasant young man named Kenny, who returned to take my order. My Pho was delivered quickly and hot! All the side accoutrements were provided to include Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños. It was a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere inside with piano music playing. The Pho Ga #3 was out of this world delicious!! The broth was extremely flavorful. I've been eating Pho for over twenty years and this was the best broth I've ever tasted. This is a family run business. Mom, dad, and the two brothers were there working and extremely friendly. I don't live in the area, but I will surely save this spot in my favorites of great places to eat. Very well priced and worth every cent. Thank you family for the great hospitality. I wish you much success in the years to come. read more

Great service! The beef brisket pho was delicious, and they even gave us extra noodles for the kids. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. We'll definitely be going back. I noticed some older reviews mentioning customer service, but my experience was completely positive. The staff works hard, and once you understand the dynamic of the team, everything makes sense. I'm glad we gave this place a chance. read more

The waiter refused to serve people that came in that requested to sit in a different table since the whole restaurant was empty except us. The people that came in were offended since this wasn't an outlandish ask since again the restaurant was empty but the waiter insisted they leave. The waiter was so weird about it and it made us feel uncomfortable and they kept talking to us about this interaction. The food was good but the environment was just off and we left quickly. read more

Literally the only place I know that has full bottles of siracha on every table. Lol The bbq pork was dry to me, but has good flavor. The shrimp spring rolls taste fishy for some reason. Doesn't taste fresh to me. My nephew liked the brisket pho a lot. He wants to come back and I will probably try something different on the menu. The service was good - the waiter did not let our water run dry. The place was empty and chill. I think the front cash register has too many signs up. It's funny because you can't see their face. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Nothing goes better with the rain other than pho. Prices were good. The quality and portions were nice. The taste was delicious. The owner and her son provided excellent service. Nice authentic gem in Murrieta. Definitely will be back soon to try other things. Ohhh...and the water didn't taste like tap water...lol. read more

I went to try this place today hoping to get some good pho To Go because i wasn't feeling so well but instead i got so much attitude and just plain rudeness from the lady that runs the place ( mind you they weren't busy its not like she was overwhelmed just rude for no reason.) she had so much attitude towards me and my grandma. When i got home to eat my pho it was pretty bland broth, ok flavors but ive had better. With better service as well. read more

Pho Doa - #17 raw beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Murrieta, California

I came into this "restaurant" twice trying to get food. The first time I was calling and calling to place an order, unfortunately, their phone system was down. When I arrived I was also informed their payment system wasn't working either. They would only take cash. I waited about 3 weeks before trying to get food here again. This time I wasn't very hungry so I only wanted to order 1 appetizers which came to $8.49. I was told, "oh unfortunately we only charge cards for $10+, but you can pay with cash." I told them, "I don't have any cash on me and this is the second time I've come and you guys have tried this cash thing." To which the staff replied " well you can order more or order another one." That is crazy to me... I told them "I will not be coming back!" They do not accommodate their customers in any way. This is ridiculous customer service. How frustrating and what a waste of time. They really don't deserve 1 star but I can't give 0. read more

Pho Doa - They will only allow you to pay with Cash,so don't even bother. - Vietnamese Near Me - Murrieta, California

Very rude staff. I came in with my service animal and the lady and her coworker immediately turned me away before asking if the dog was a service animal. They then asked for proof of documentation after I told them my dog WAS in fact a service animal which is illegal and not required by ADA law. Something a business should be educated on. Completely disrespectful and ignorant. read more

REVIEW THE NUMEROUS FILTERED 1 STAR "REVIEWS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY RECOMMENDED" AT THE VERY BOTTOM. They are true. I work in quality assurance for a major health system and "hospitality" is my expertise. From the moment I step on the premises to when I walk out the door, I am scoring an establishment, I can't help myself. If that older woman is the owner, that is embarrassing, as she is completely unprofessional and a gatekeeper. I imagine her employees get harassed and are emotionally abused by her. The younger guy at the front needs to grow some confidence and learn to answer some general questions without the owner. He needed her for every question I had. If you work at the front and are the face of this restaurant, you need to be the subject matter expert and not run off to get someone for every little question. Is that his mom, IDK!? I visited this lovely establishment on a Saturday at 10:31a. Lights off and door locked. Google says it opens at 10:30a and so does the sign on the door. No biggie, I wait patiently, I understand things happen. Light turns on at 10:55a and I walk in. I ask when they open, Guy responds "10:30-11." I ask about catering and some other general questions. He states they no longer do catering since COVID. I understood and while I was asking some general questions like "Do I just order the plates individually then...?" he walks to the back. Cue the older woman and she comes out, no greeting, no warm welcoming, with an RBF. She states they don't do catering since COVID. Right, I got that part. I didn't go there for nothing, so I decided to try the egg rolls and the banh mi sandwiches to determine if I wanted to make a big order for the next day. I liked the sandwich! The egg rolls tasted ok and were the length of my thumb. I didn't feel it was worth the price. I'm Asian, don't cut them that short. I let them know that I wanted to put in an order, that I can pay today and pickup tomorrow. They already told me they don't take orders on the phone. At this point there's another employee, a younger woman, who responds saying that if I wanted to order the sandwiches, I need to come back tomorrow and that they don't take orders for the sandwiches specifically. Then the older woman chimes in again (while she was on FaceTime or watching something on her phone) and creates a barrier to this transaction. At this point, I realize, why am I still trying to find a solution? Forget it, they don't want to help me, which in turn is helping the re$taurant. They do not deserve my patronage. Oddly enough, there's hand written signs to the customer saying to be nice. How hypocritical. I will never go there again. P.S. If the older woman is the owner, I doubt she is the one writing the responses on the page. She doesn't speak that way, therefore, she undoubtedly doesn't write that way. read more

Was good! Boba was soggy end of the day but was good. The pho ga or chicken breast and noodles was really good! I got mine to go so the biggest drawback was that the cilantro was not chopped up. It was served full stem. So that was annoying. Pretty much the only drawback other than the soggy Boba which I went the right before closing so I'll try it again in the future. The best part was there Sriracha substitute. It's almost like a spicy plum sauce. I enjoyed it better than the Sriracha. Way more taste! Still has quite a kick! I would totally come back here. Especially with the customer service being so nice. Hopefully my favorite Boba drinkhas more firm Boba if I go earlier in the day :-) read more

Simply put.... a horrible experience. My only advice is to bring your own plate and utensils. The place is dirty with bad food and even worse service. The sauce jars have not been cleaned in what looks like months. read more

Service- Incredibly RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I went there with my son excited to eat Vietnamese food. Before being seated I requested to be seated at a different table than they pointed out initially because it was in the direct sun and in a small crowded corner next to the only other guest in the restaurant(they have about 25 tables that were empty). The host was okay to seat us at another table and gave us menus just to have the menus ripped out of my and my sons hands within 10 seconds of opening the menu by a server and told that "We can not serve you." I asked what was going on and he replied "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." And that was that. Please note that they have a sign that has this posted on the front window. I have never in 50 years been asked to leave a restaurant. Me and my son got up and left, as I was getting in my car an older lady(cook/owner maybe) from the restaurant came out and I asked what we did to offend the server to get us kicked out, she replied you were disrespectful by asking to be seated somewhere else. After reading some of the other reviews I think that this type of poor service behavior is a pattern of kicking customers out because of a server or possibly owner is very sensitive. If you are the owner or manager please consider coaching your staff on basic customer service skills and patience as this was not something that needed to have this type of action and lost you money and potential future business. The host simply could have said this is the only table that we can seat you at or the server that pulled the menus just could have let us order and eat in peace. Super bizarre shocking treatment, I am not sure if the server had mental problems or maybe had been dealing with rude customers earlier in the day or over time, but I was not rude and did not deserve this treatment. Good luck and I hope you are able to improve on your Customer Service Skills in the future. read more

Pho Doa - This should warn you that something is up with this establishment since it does not need to be posted, but must happen often enough. - Vietnamese Near Me - Murrieta, California

First timers to this particular location sow it was between this and a taco spot in the same lot. We did a row Shan bow and it dropped on the noodle spot I'm good with that it's been a while. Came in to a pretty dead spot so was helped rather quickly. The staff was nice and the place clean. Everything came out fast and was delicious. I asked for the beef and my sister got the beef with meat balls. They only gave us one plate for both bowls and I asked for more bean sprouts and she told me there was more than enough for both bowls. at the end of the meal I guess she wasn't wrong or maybe I got lucky and had someone that didn't need so much. read more

On my search to find the best fresh spring rolls in the area. Trying all of them. This was not it. Barely any lettice. No herbs at all. And they made me answer them 3 times in a row if I was ok paying cash since the rolls were under $10. I said yes all 3x. Maybe charge a little more and make them a little better so you don't have to treat your customers with such disrespect. Not friendly. Won't be back. The whole place feels cheap. Please work on your relationship with your paying clients. read more

Pho Doa - 2 different kinds of delicious spring rolls- on the left is shrimp and pork and on the right is bbq chicken..just...so good!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Murrieta, California

Pho broth is very important but the two bowls had broth that tasted like either instant pho or the 30 minute cook methods that are floating over social apps. It was clear with a hint of grayish hue. Pho cooked over 5+ hrs with the rich hearty taste that an authentic Pho place is normally clear with a brown hue from all the beef bones. The meat was sparing. The "thit chin" was thin, but around the size of two fingers, round. The "tai" was chewy and flavorless (normally you'd reheat with broth to pack in the flavor). Both the small and Xe Lua bowls had the same amount of meat. The noodles were cooked correctly and neither overcooked or undercooked. However, the noodles were clumped in a ball in the broth when served. This occurs when it is cooked hastily and not shaken while straining. We also had a bowl of Bun Thit Nuong (grilled pork with vermicelli). The noodles were dried like it was made 2 days ago. The meat was seasoned but dry. The vegetables were not very fresh. Most importantly, the fish sauce was sour like vinegar and not how it should be for this dish (there are 4+ mixes of nuoc mam for vietnmese dishes). Disclaimer: I have eaten authentic pho from Vietnam in the north, central and South regions. I've eaten pho from "Bolsa" in westminster where there is fierce competition. I've eaten pho at multiple places in riverside. Had we traveled another 10 minutes to Pho Ha in Temecula, I would have had less to say. Service was decent. Our server was pleasant but our interactions were minimal so difficult to gage. The ambience was non existent. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 1 on a Sunday. There was at least 4 or 5 tables full at Pho Ha the Wednesday prior. read more

We have been coming to Pho Dao for years and never leave disappointed. I usually get the vermicelli with grilled shrimp and my husband loves the chicken pho.
