Great food, welcoming environment, and friendly staff. I personally love their Cà Phê Sữa (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) - strong and delicious. Definitely one of the first spots I recommend to anyone visiting Riverside, CA. Shoutout to Bill, he has always been so nice and helpful! read more

Good good good service especially bill the cashier. Recommend to visit next time in the areas

My son and I have been going to Pho Ha for lunch for 2 or 3 times a month. This place is fantastic - the food is delicious and is delivered to your table promptly. The restaurant is scrupulously clean and the wait staff friendly and efficient. Our favorite waiter is Bill. Bill knows our orders (my son always orders chicken pho and I order the Vietnamese tacos - absolutely out of this world) and is already delivering our drink orders to the table where we are heading. He also knows that I usually cannot eat all three of the tacos and delivers a to-go container to me before I ask for it. This man is a mind reader and makes us feel like the only customers in the restaurant! read more

We come here most mornings for coffee, and at this point it's just part of our routine. The food is always really good -the pho broth is super flavorful and smells amazing, and the egg rolls are honestly some of our favorites. It's usually pretty busy, but in a good way. Feels lively and welcoming every time we walk in. The main reason we keep coming back though is the service. Bill is awesome. He recognizes us right away and pretty much knows what we're going to order before we even say anything. He's always friendly, quick, and just makes the whole experience easy and comfortable. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for amazing food and great service. And if you go, ask for Bill - he'll take good care of you. read more

This place isn't super close by but we probably come once a week! The service can be a little slow but once you order, the food comes out so fast. Broth is delicious! They are opening another location 5 mins away and we can't wait! Their spring rolls taste very similar to Brodard in Garden grove, IYKYK! read more

Pho Ha #7 - Pho tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

I don't like the seating system. You have to stand inside and wait to be seated. Theres no waitlist. Someone just got cut because they didnt stand in front but was waiting behind a big party that was waiting to be seated together. The food was delicious though. Parking was confusing. Not sure if we could park on the other side but I did anyways. read more

Awesome 10/10 love the big bone I stayed here for like two hours picking through it and doing some work. Service was fast and they were nice. It is quiet ish inside and a lot of people come and go but I was sat in a nice quiet corner where I could enjoy myself! read more

I went to Pho Ha and ordered the bò kho (Vietnamese beef stew). Flavor-wise? So good. The broth was rich, deeply spiced, and super comforting: warm, aromatic, and packed with that slow-stewed beef flavor that just hits. The meat itself was tender and well-cooked, and the noodles soaked up the broth perfectly. Overall, the soup was insanely tasty and flavorful, the kind you keep going back to for another spoonful. That said... I was sadly betrayed by the carrots . They only brought out the meat and noodles, and if you know bò kho, you know carrots are a staple...both culturally and flavor-wise. They add sweetness, texture, and balance to the stew. I asked them about it, and they said "one minute"... and then never came back with the carrots. I waited. And waited. And waited. Nothing. This genuinely hurt my soul a little, especially since carrots are listed on the menu and are essential to bò kho. I'm still thinking about the carrots I never got. Service-wise, it was pretty chill and lowkey--nothing rude or stressful, just relaxed. That said, they definitely forgot about the carrots entirely, which was disappointing. Ambiance-wise, the place was clean, simple, and comfortable, nothing fancy but solid and pleasant for a casual Vietnamese meal. Even with the carrot tragedy, I can't lie, the flavor of the stew carried hard. The broth alone almost made up for it. Almost. Final thoughts: Food: Super tasty, rich, comforting, and flavorful (would've been even better with the carrots) Service: Chill, but dropped the ball on a key ingredient Ambiance: Clean, casual, and comfortable Overall, I really enjoyed the bò kho, but I wish they gave me my carrots. Please. I'm begging. read more

Place is pretty bomb and the vibe is cool we been a few times I'd recommend to people

Best Pho in Riverside! This is such a popular spot and I see why. You can expect to see a line out the door during peak hours and on the weekends. There's plenty of parking and seating. Service is fairly quick. You can expect the server to visit your table twice (ordering drinks & the food)... other than thats it. The food is absolutely one of the best I've had! The pho & broth is flavorful! But I love ordering the vermicelli bowl (I don't remember the name of it, but it's the best selling one) and I'd recommend to try it if you're looking for something light and refreshing! I try visiting during non-peak hours. But I must say, I rather come here than other pho spots in Riverside read more

Pho Ha #7 - 39. Com Bo Luc Lac - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

Pho Ha had updated their menus! Added more items on their menus! And it is written in three different languages (Vietnamese, English, AND Spanish)!! Looks like they picked up even more customers. Busy but wait time isn't too bad. Fast turn around time. Good amount of seats spaced out. Food comes out fairly quick upon order. Food is fresh and hot. Today, I really enjoyed their slow cooked baby pork ribs in fish sauce with white rice. There is a distinctive smell from the fish sauce but once you start eating the dish you forget about the smell haha! Will be coming back for some newer items on the menu that are not available yet to order. read more

I came in with a small group on a Saturday afternoon. I usually just get my pho delivered so it's been a long time since I have visited the establishment itself. The place had ample available seating and not too many guests at the time, so I figured service would be quick. The interior is bright and clean with some quirky framed photos on the wall and a quiet ambiance. They offer 5% off for cash payments. I ordered the crispy pan-fried egg noodles and the crispy fried tofu. The tofu was my favorite of the two. They were super hot and lightly golden. They weren't greasy at all. I would have preferred a different dipping sauce than what was offered though. The noodles were fine, but they didn't really have that nice wok-hay flavor I was hoping for and the amount of protein felt skimpy. Portions were moderately sized. The wait for my tofu felt long. It was around 20 minutes after everyone else's food came. My party ordered pho, and their bowls came out in like 5 minutes so it was a little awkward waiting so long. They really liked their pho though I didn't try any. They have a giant pho challenge too. If you finish their big bowl including the broth you can win a $100 gift card. Overall, the food was decent but I wasn't wowed. It's a good local spot if you're craving pho or want to attempt the challenge, but I'd probably stick to getting it delivered. read more

This chain hits and misses depending on the branch (owned by different members of the family). This one is excellent. When you're in Riverside go to this one not the other one. This was super tasty and it shows they didn't cut corners and stuck to the original recipe! read more

Been here a few times and after a while I stopped as I felt the broth was so sweet. So after what was maybe half a year or more, I gave it another shot. The bowls have changed to metal and wider, which was an interesting look. The broth was definitely much better than what I remember and very comforting. It was what I remember good pho being and was quite happy with my #11. The pho toppings was also fresh as always and plentiful. The salty plum drink also hit the right spot in terms of helping alleviate my nausea. One happy customer here when I was feeling too ill to go anywhere or cook at home. read more

Pho Ha 7 really good Vietnamese food outside of the Little Saigon/ Orange County area. They offer a variety of food from Pho, rice dishes, and other plates. The sizzling steak hot plate always a good choice if you can't decide. I opted for the Com Ga ( rice with fried chicken and fried egg). I was eye balling the giant bone with meat, looks like giant bones with melting tendons and meats on the menu as my next item to try. Service was quick and fast. This location is pretty spacious as they even have single seater options if you are dining by yourself. read more

Pho Ha #7 is a go-to spot on University when you're craving something comforting and flavorful. I ordered the BBH, and it did not disappoint. It's one of the better BBH bowls I've had in the area. Service was just as solid. Our server, Bill, was friendly & attentive. Between the quality of the food and the great service, this place is definitely worth coming back to. read more

one of the best phos i've ever had in my life. the broth stands out due to the depth of flavor, the balance between flavors, and how clear it is. the pho took a long time to come out and they don't give that much meat, but 5 stars just for the broth! the spring rolls were also solid, not crazy good, but satisfying (we ordered them togo and they were still yummy later). service was helpful and attentive despite the wait. read more

I've been coming here for years but never thought to write a review because Pho Star Bowl was my main Riverside Pho restaurant. But now I come here more often due to proximity and Star Bowl's menu shrinking a ton. The ambiance is typical of an authentic pho place, not super clean but tidy, and with Vietnamese wait staff. They're friendly but no nonsense. This place does a lot of business thanks to its proximity to UCR so expect a busy eating experience if you come for lunch. Even ok a weekend lunch was more than half full. The pho is solid and meat portions are decent. Other non pho options have always been decent as well. They used to have some cool pho alternatives like duck noodles or "big bone noodle soup" which is exactly what it sounds like, but alas, the new menu doesn't seem to have them. Still way more options than Pho Star Bowl though! read more

If you're craving a bowl of pho this is my go to spot. I ordered the beef rib pho with meatballs and it was delicious make sure you add their chili oil for the extra kick and if spicy is not your thing it's perfect by itself. Also you have to try the coconut iced coffee it was delicious and full of caffeine! The service was very nice we got to the restaurant at 7 pm on a Friday,so it was full with people and the wait was not too bad maybe around 5-10 minutes and then we were seated. Nice atmosphere as well everyone in the place was enjoying themselves and the food. I definitely will becoming back again don't miss out on this place. read more

Pho Ha #7 - Beef Rib Pho added Meatballs. - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

After a Yelp event in Riverside, a dear friend and I drove across the street to Pho Ha #7 for a light dinner snack. Pho Ha is a restaurant chain, but mostly owned by different people. I've been to a few of them in So Cal. My first time at this location. Free parking is available behind the restaurant. Wow, inside is quite spacious and bright. We were seated right away upon entry. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Thank you! We got an order of half shrimp spring roll (2) and half pork spring roll (2) which costs a little bit more compared to getting a full order of shrimp rolls (4) or pork rolls (4). We also got one grilled pork, meat loaf, and shredded pork rice plate with an add on of crispy shrimp wrapped in tofu skin to share. Btw, extra cost for add ons. Rice dish was very good, however, the rice used was not the broken rice... it was just regular white rice. All the meats were delicious. Vegetables were fresh. Portion was adequate. I liked the shrimp rolls better than the pork rolls. You get 4 halves of shrimp which means two whole shrimps. Dipping sauce for the rolls wasn't too bad, but I've had better. Color of the pork was too reddish pink that just didn't look right. It didn't taste entirely right either. I will not get the pork rolls again. Anyway, my overall dining experience was wonderful especially in good company with my friend. Next time when I'm in the Riverside area, I'll have to try their Pho. Thanks Pho Ha #7! read more

Got in for dinner with sweetheart and my favorite daughter (have only one actually). Place clean and beautiful interior. Very warm and friendly welcome. Ordered beef shaken, Mi Xa Xiu Hoanh Thanh Kho (Chinese BBQ pork wonton served with dry egg noodles and house special sauce) and Beef Banh Mi. Food came in with broth on the side. Every thing was pack with flavor. Beef so tender and juicy. Banh Mi BBQ pork so good but meat was a little tough. Fresh veggies on the side so crunchy. Sauces strong in flavor but balance well with rice and noodles. Hot Jasmin tea an excellent flavor tamer and pallet cleanser. Price of food very competitive and worth what you're served. Nice enjoyable dinner., read more

Had a craving for spring rolls and this place was closest to my house per YELP. Bill helped me with the order. He was welcoming and offered additional choices. I did stick to the shrimp and pork spring rolls, to go, and they were ready in 5 minutes. They were tasty and tho the 4 rolls were smaller than expected, they were satisfying. I was accustomed to 3 slightly larger rolls at other pho spots but the overall value was good. Close to home, plenty of parking in the back and great service. I will be back! read more
