The food here is very good. The soup is flavorful and hearty. I come here whenever I am in Riverside visiting family

The service is good. Fast service most of the time. The food is consistently good here. The Carbroiled chicken pho is delish and tasty. I really like the Charbroiled Chicken Salad !! Salad dressing is light and a nice touch to a very fresh salad. ... the area in the back next to the restroom is a little messy that is why I gave them 4 stars read more

After being seated no one came by to take our order. Every time we tried to flag down a server we were ignored. People who were seated after us were able to place their order before us. By the time the server came to take our order he was rude and sassy. Made us seem like an inconvenience for asking to place our order. Once we got our food we noticed a hair in one of the pho bowls. We once again tried to flag down a server but we were ignored. I had to walk the bowl up to the counter to get service and even then our original server kept walking past me. The only nice person was the busser. Food was okay, service was horrible. read more

GREAT pho. i'm very picky about my pho but this place was great. very clean and nice service

Amazing Pho food and more. Seems it's hard to find places that actually serve fresh ingredients. Well I found it here. The service was good and ambiance was on point. What was most memorable was the pork actually tasted and presented itself as charred and was delicious Good experience good vermicelli noodles. Sorry about my picture I couldn't wait read more

Entered the restaurant at approximately 8:05 pm for a quick order off the menu as we are return customers and know what we wanted. A leader type person from the podium immediately spoke out in a loud voice, "the dining room is closed" and it was clear employees were making an effort to clean up the area for the evening. However there were still a number of people still seated and clearly had not finished their meals, so not a good look. The restaurant closes at 8:30 pm and we understand the need to close business in a timely manner however the attitude and the "vibe " as only the two of us walked in the door was cold and drove home the feeling our business was not wanted. We did an about face and walked back out the door with at least another 20 min on their "open clock" Not an invitation for my family to return when it is clear even if near closing, our return business is not valued. A number of other choices with customer service and welcoming hospitality to value our business and build a return customer relationship. read more

The food is great and fairly priced. Very fresh tasting ingredients. Service isn't the best but the food makes up for it.

Great pho, it was warm and had perfect flavor. The meat, noodle, and broth ratio was perfect and it really made for a fulfilling bowl of pho. Also their spring rolls were fresh and they included a mix of shrimp and beef. Overall food was great and will definitely be back! read more

Pho Koi - Number 17 - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

I was in the area and we were craving pho. The location is very cool, the decor/art was on point. They had the games on, which is a huge plus for me. The staff was friendly, and brought me everything we needed. This place actually has a kid sized pho which is super convenient. Most places do not, which requires me to order a regular size one for my 6 year old. The overall flavor of the food was solid, I will be coming back if I am in the area. read more

The service was beyond unprofessional it was insulting. We watched in disbelief as the staff seated several other parties who arrived well after us, chatting with them and taking their orders immediately while we were left sitting there like we were invisible. When we finally managed to flag someone down, the server acted like we were asking for a personal favor just by wanting to order. When the food finally arrived, it only got worse. The pho was completely bland and lacked any of the rich, aromatic flavor you'd expect. But the absolute breaking point was finding a long hair floating in my broth. Between the unbelievably rude attitude of the staff, the blatant favoritism in seating, and the gross lack of basic hygiene, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. There are way too many good pho spots in town to waste your time being treated like garbage here. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. read more

Was looking to try a fairly new restaurant and my search ended up at Pho Koi. It's located in the middle of the Metro at Main shopping center. Exit the 91fwy at Main street and head North to East Harrison St go left (West) into the shopping complex and turn right at the round about. Pho Koi is half way in on the right. There are a lot of parking spaces but it's a fairly busy area so it can be a little difficult locating a space close. There is handicap parking very close. At first I thought it was an order and take to your seat however I was immediately greeted and asked if dine in or take out. He informed me that I could sit at any open table. There are a lot of tables and about 3/4 were taken (1:30 Fri). Very pleasant atmosphere and calming ambience. The only loud noise was when a chair, that are made of metal, was moved across the floor it made a very loud scraping sound. The restroom was impeccably clean! Very fresh and sparkling inside! I was immediately brought a menu and a glass of water, perfect! To my surprise they also provided a small basket that had all the utensils and napkins in it. Thought that was very clever, clean and compact! I ordered the Crispy Golden Shrimp appetizer. I received the Shrimp on a very timely manner. The shrimp are medium size with a perfect deep fried coating, not to thin or thick, nice and crispy with a 1000 island type dipping sauce which the sweetness paired nicely with flavor of the shrimp. My main meal was #28 Pho with charbroiled chicken. The Pho's base was perfectly balanced not overpowering or to salty with a good serving of green onion. Very good size plate of chicken thigh meat satisfying the carnivore in me! The chicken's rub was a very unique flavor of curry and other spices, secret recipe per Steve the manager. LOL Placing the chicken in the soup added a unique flavor! It was very tasty. I was surprised having BBQ chicken in ma Pho! LOL Chi tea was awesome not to sweet with a balanced chi flavor! Steve recommends trying a rice dish next time, which is their most popular dish. There is a large selection to choose from. I looked around the room and saw a lot of rice dishes. I talked with 3 gentleman at the table next to me who all had rice dishes and they loved them all. They had the spring roll which also looked tasty. They said it was to hot outside for Pho but I had sucked it up and had ma Pho! LOL All the staff were very friendly and pleasant checking on me to see if I needed anything and if everything tasted to my liking. With all the price increases in the restaurant business I think Pho Koi has done an awesome job keeping their prices reasonable and no gouging. I Highly recommended Pho Koi to satisfy your Vietnamese cravings! read more

Delicious pho! We always swing by and grab some beef pho to go, everything we have tried was perfect!

The server sat us down fast. Got us utensils and water right away. Nice cozy little restaurant. Charbroiled pork was extremely delicious. Both my boyfriend and I ordered the same thing but with a different base (his was rice, mines vermecelli). With the two eggroll, it was more worth it, only $1 difference compared to no eggroll. It was both $14 only! Amazing price and food. I will come back again for sure! Thank you for the server checking on our water cups. We emptied out the cup but didn't have to wave down anyone for a refill. Keep up the good work, inside the kitchen and outside at serving. read more

We had a pick up order and my wife forgot to order a kids Pho with no meat. So I asked the guy if I can order one and he said it would take 30-45 min.... He couldn't even accommodate us he just kept saying no. Bad customer service. read more

Food was great super fast. Got my wife and I hooked on Vietnamese food. We loved this place so much we tried a place near our new house and were sadly disappointed, they just couldn't measure up. The charbroiled chicken vermicelli is my favorite and my wife loves the pho with fatty brisket and brisket. 10/10 would recommend again and again read more

Corona's Pho Koi is one of a chain of Vietnamese restaurants that have gained ground recently in our area. It took me a couple of years since this one opened, to even give them a chance, as I am admittedly a "chain" bigot. But I finally took notice the other day as the 5-star reviews continued to pile up, and the mouthwatering pictures tortured my curiosity. Throw in some cold, rainy day weather, and it was obvious it was time to visit. Located in a newly developed part of North Corona, it is conveniently right off the 91 freeway. This rather small restaurant is nestled in a compound of new apartments and other small, mostly franchised, businesses on the lower level and has a nice feeling, quite contemporary, clean, and airy. There is limited parking right outside, and also a multi-level, free parking structure steps away. And the atmosphere is friendly. I have enjoyed eating Vietnamese food for decades, so I already know what I like and expect from this kind of cuisine. Their menu is large and offers mostly pho, egg or rice noodles, and rice dishes, and at very fair pricing. Protein choices include beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and tofu. There is also a child's menu. The charbroiled pork and rice dish passed with flying colors. It was mind-boggling to see such generous portions, but the more important criterion was the taste. The charred pork was outstanding. The fact that I could get two, amazing pork-veggie-filled eggrolls with my meal, and that I could share and still bring some home, was the final selling point. I was happy. Mr.B ordered the Shaken Beef with Udon. While he liked it, and the beef was nicely tender, it was a more soupy version of the dish. He admitted he would not choose that again. We have been married far too long to ignore the signs of "pain and envy". I saw his eyes drift to my side of the table, and I got the subtle (?) message loud and clear. I accepted I was doomed to enjoy only one of my two eggroll. So my words of wisdom to those who read this is, choose wisely, and make sure there are plenty of eggroll to go around. And he had no trouble gobbling down a nice bite of my charbroiled pork either. A large container of unassembled pho with rare beef somehow followed us home. Lol. Frankly, I planned ahead because we Californians don't deal well with roads spattered by rain, and the weather forecast was evil. Nonetheless, they have made this an easy decision for me; I know I shall be returning. read more

This place is top-notch! The food is always delicious, and the servers are incredibly nice and friendly. The atmosphere is fantastic, with beautiful art that adds to the vibe. One time, I wasn't happy with a dish, and they gave me a refund and exchanged it for something else--super accommodating! I come here a lot and always leave satisfied Highly recommend! read more

Best Pho in town! The broth is so rich, and they have all the choices of the meats that I like.

11:30 lunch, on a Saturday. Not busy. Ordered and food came out within 2 minutes later, so pretty fast if you order pho. Ambience: really high ceilings and nice decor. Nice staff, and plenty of seating (seats 61 max capacity) Ordered Combo Pho (Large) and a Vietnamese coffee. Pho: pretty good, clean broth. Decent flavor for being neighbors to Orange County. 4/5 Vietnamese coffee: cafe sua da was very generic, nothing impressive, nothing bad to say. Didn't see anything wrong with it. 4/5 Pricing was decent, $13 for a large bowl of pho, can't complain. Happy Lunar New Year! read more

Pho Koi - 14. Special Combination Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

I've had so much Pho in my life so it takes a really gem to impress my Pho palate. This place does the job. This place was crowded around dinner time but luckily, for us, it was not a long wait. They were able to sit us immediately. For the first time, I order Pho w/ seafood and it was good! The broth had really strong and rich flavor. My husband got traditional Pho w/ steak and his was good, too. We also got the Spring Rolls and those were solid! The service was done by a young waiter. He did a good job. I like the scenes depicting life in Vietnam painted on the wall. The place is also fairly large to accommodate a good number of people and space tables far enough from one another for a feeling of added safety. I would definitely come here again for a comforting bowl of Pho. read more

Awesome service food was great. First time there will definitely be back............!!!!

I love pho and have had many bowls of pho in my lifetime. When I saw this place off of Main I knew I'd be stopping in to try it. I ordered a small bowl of the combination pho and a small side of crispy egg rolls. They provided all the usual pho fix-ins. For the roll fix-ins, they didn't provide enough lettuce to wrap both egg rolls (I realize not everyone knows to do that). And instead of cucumber they provided a small lump of vermicelli. The rolls were super yummy, despite their small size. For the pho, it came with a ton of meat and was large despite being the "small", which is all good news. But.. it was just fine. I wasn't wowed by it, but it also curbed my pho appetite. The broth was missing that freshness I enjoy. I added hoisin, siracha, and lime and it was definitely better but I just felt something was missing that would have taken it from good to great. I know it's hard to find good pho in Corona, and this might be the best bowl I've had in town. If you're someone who's only had pho in Corona, you might really enjoy this spot. As for the service, they were speedy! I was expecting more friendliness or customer service by perhaps checking in about the menu but everyone was just matter of fact. I think that pho or Vietnamese food is outside of many people's comfort zone in Corona, so just that touch of "have you been here before?" would definitely help the menu feel more accessible to a first timer. To end on some more positives, I really like the ambiance of this place. Love all the natural light and that they manage the sunlight. It's simple and elegant. I also appreciate how affordable it was! My bill was just under $20 (I drank water). I definitely plan on giving this place another chance to improve, after all it was still yummy! read more

Not the best pho in Corona/Norco, especially for $17 ($5 for the ice coffee). The broth tasted too salty and sweet (they probably overpowering the seasoning side, like maybe too much star anise, clove, and cinnamon) which makes the pho taste a little bit weird. The meat was too fat. Half of the meat was fat. I have had better pho in Corona and Norco. Unfortunately, this is not the one read more

Go to pho spot in corona. Clean, fast service, and delicious. If you go here I recommend the combination pho!

good was good tbh. I had an extremely anxious experience when the workers gave me check before everyone else when I was there second to last! and then the person next to me didn my get there check until 35 mins later ! and even a group of people who been there for more than an hour who got their check last.. Then they didn't stalk the person next to me and not scared she wasn't going to daah! they were literally standing to make sure I paid for my stuff ! that made me feel so uncomfy! as soon as I paid they randomly stopped cleaning tbh as a WOC im so tired of ther minorities treating me this bad. this has happen in many Asian restaurants and why I chose not to go to many and I grew up loving their food ... I love pho so much. shoutout to my favorite pho spot in Long Beach and they treat me like family :) read more

I came here for first time the other day. Parking in this area is not the greatest and leaves you walking form the parking garage when spaces aren't available in front of the restaurant. Walking in its a "no frills" type of place with modern architecture. Not a typical feel of a pho place local to the IE but more of a OC/LA county vibe. Sitting down we were helped relatively quickly. Pho came out faster than the sides and we had to wait for a server to come back to ask for a plate of sprouts/basil/jalapeno's to add to our Pho. The broth was good and I liked the mixture of brisket in bowl #19. Once we got our Pho the service stopped so we didn't get refills or some misc. items we might have needed. I would come back to give them another try, but other places remain my first choice for Pho in the Riverside/Norco/Corona area. read more

Pho Koi - 19 Pho with Rare Beef and Beef Brisket and fatty beef brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

Pho Koi (Corona, CA) Items: 1. Charbroiled Beef with steamed rice | $12.50 | 3/5 Review: - The plaza and parking structure looks newly built and area is very nice. - The beef tasted extremely dry and was not that flavorful. The rice was ok, just normal steamed rice. - Restaurant interior and tables looked very clean and relatively new. However, I'm not a huge fan of their rice dishes, mostly because the meat tasted very dry. - If I were to come here again, I would pick the safe option and get pho. Parking: Free parking. There is a parking structure. read more

Love this place. Order on DoorDash to work at least once a week. They are fast and if I call to order they are kind and accommodating! I love just a simple pho nam. Great service and delicious noodles. Thank you! read more

First time here and we both had pho, #21. Having eaten pho for my whole life, I wasn't disappointed. The broth was really tasty. All the meat: rare beef, brisket, tripe are essential the same everywhere but the broth is what makes (or breaks) a bowl of pho. The service was excellent and quick. We will definitely come back and try other dishes. Just a note to the chef, you may want to slide the tripe completely, not just the top part and left them attached together as a bunch. read more

This was a new spot for me...we ended here because our normal spot was closed for what looked like a deep clean! Ambiance was cool, quiet and a bit slow motion. There was no rush to order and we had a chance to sit and chat which was nice! Food was good and hit the spot. My wife has been craving pho and we hoped this would be a new visit that would impose the thought of a second...didn't disappoint, we will see u soon! read more

Best pho in Corona, hands down! This is THE place to go if you want a nice, hot, comforting bowl of pho. If you dine in it comes with all the fixings (Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime, you can add hoisin and sriracha if you want. If you order to go, everything comes packed separately so your noodles are not sitting in broth waiting for you. I love this! I would also like to take a minute to appreciate Pho Koi for being a rare place that does not hassle me for ordering off the kids' menu. My stomach is messed up so I eat small portions but many establishments won't allow adults to eat from the kids menu. When I come here, I have always been allowed to do so and they never say no or ask any questions. So THANK YOU for that, it truly means a lot. The kids' grilled meat and rice plate is my favorite! For several years I have recommended this place to my coworkers and friends. Everybody loves it. The food is good, the drinks are good, and the staff is friendly. Definitely a favorite spot for me! read more

This place has a good pho and authentic Vietnamese food. So far So satisfied with all foods. But, the lady at the cashier has a really bad customer service. Her voice and attitude are very rude. I will definitely come back for great food but if she is still there, then I do not want to go again. I believe that customer needs to be treated better. read more
