Stopped in randomly because I had to take my dog to the vet in the area, and I'm so glad I did! It was really quiet and simple, which is not a bad thing at all. Server was attentive and it seemed like a local crowd, but since I went midday it wasn't too busy. I ordered a brisket pho and it was delicious! The spicy chili oil was really hot and hit the spot mixed in. Just a really good, classic dish and the price was pretty good too. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the area!

It's been over a year since our last visit to Pho Neighbors. We had the butter garlic Salmon and shrimp, chicken and beef crispy noodle with vegetables. The food was amazing and the service we received from Tam (the owner) and our server Bri was also amazing. We will be back soon.

Chicken wing appetizer 5 stars order this crispy delight

Fast service, friendly, he's always ready! Plenty of seats for big parties and parking. Casual ambiance. Food crispy when it should be crispy. Juicy when it should be juicy. I love eating here after work. Come here for Phó broth is the bomb! Come here for their vegetarian options! Come here to chill out w family.

House special vermicelli
Jeremy M.

Ordered the House special noodles with egg roll, bbq, and shrimp. Food is fantastic and has always been since they opened several years ago. The manager Mike is very customer service centric and loves talking to his customers. He always makes sure ur order is right and always a pleasure to talk to. Cozy ambiance has tvs playing in the background. Overall a good cozy cafe vibe. Definitely worth a try when ur in Lake Elsinore.

Vietnamese iced coffee
Marie G.

Leaving a honest review so they can improve ! Pho - needs flavor please put flavor Wings - alright Fried rice - not good I don't get how this place gets alot of good reviews. This place is not good it's like eh. Vietnamese coffee 0/10 I love coffee and especially Vietnamese iced coffee. I tried the Vietnamese coffee . Not to be rude but this is the worst Vietnamese iced coffee I ever tasted.. never have I ever seen the Vietnamese coffee this color.. it wasn't even edible to drink. This is not a Vietnamese coffee...

Vietnamese coffee. Beautiful color, horrible taste.
Ray S.

The fried rice was good the pho broth was delicious I think the shrimp were undercooked for my pho(I got it to-go so it was separated from the broth) they had some gray color to them. The spring rolls were okay. The lettuce seemed a bit "sad". Everything was just okay but I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee. I'm not being mean or anything but this is quite possibly the worst iced Vietnamese coffee I've ever EVER had. I usually get it from Pho spots and they have never been this bad. The guy poured it from a pitcher out of the fridge and I am used to it being prepared fresh, with the condensed milk added for sweetness. Or just having the consistent flavor overall. Well this iced coffee tasted very bad, almost like a refrigerator flavor if you know what I mean. And not sweet, bitter. Just not at all good. I did not drink it which felt like a waste because I paid for it. I poured it down the sink when I got home. Normally I would have drank it and it would have been gone by the time I got home. I won't be returning because of the undercooked shrimp and the worst, absolute worst Vietnamese coffee. Do not order a Vietnamese coffee from this place because you never have, and this is your first taste of it, you'll be horrified.

Uncle Mike is always there with his staff making sure to run it on point

I've been coming here since I moved to Lake Elsinore, 2021. It's our go to Spot services on point food is consistently good definitely recommend.

They r very friendly but the doors and windows are very dirty. This makes a huge impression on customers. Food was just ok

Nathan V.

Was recommended to this place by a mutual friend. Of course we've been to many pho places all over SoCal and saw it had good reviews so why not give it a chance. We can easily say that we were happy with what we got. The service was welcoming and seating was immediate. It was bigger than expected. Not huge just thought it was smaller just from the outside. Either way the food we got was good and nothing was left when we left. We chummed it up with the workers and we would gladly recommend and come back when we are in the area. Especially since there was a planet fitness next door and we worked out first so of course this made the food hit the spot even more. Socially since it didn't take long for the food to come out. Of course they have plenty options other than pho but regardless I would recommend.

It's interesting how they have a little robot to assist in bringing the food to the table, but I can see why. Because the bowls of soup are filled to the brim, it helps ensure no spillage and the heat to the hands in carrying it is eliminated. So smart! Nevertheless, Alex was the only wait staff and he was shuffling around helping the whole restaurant like a pro!!! He lended me his wifi so I could transfer money from accounts to pay on Apple Pay and told me it's a small family owned business. It is located right next to Target (between the optometrist & fish tacos) in Lake Elsinore, it's not much to look at from the outside, but full of heart on the inside!

Hubby and I tried to order using the QR code provided at each table. That was a mess. We just ended up placing our order with a server. I ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls. Hubby ordered the garlic fried rice and salt and pepper chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly. They came out hot, crispy, and tender. I liked that they left the tips on flats. The spice on the chicken was good, not too overpowering. The fried rice wasn't my favorite. It had bit of an off taste that I couldn't pin point. The pork in the spring roll was tasty and had a fire grilled flavor. It was better than the shrimp spring roll. The peanut dipping sauce was savory and complimented the each of the rolls.

It is your typical no frills Chinese fast food where you pick your sides and entrees. Everything here is priced low. So why did I drive all the way over here from Temecula area on a busy Friday rush hour traffic? Simple. Chow mein & chicken wings!!! Though the noodles are the typical yellow noodles you find at fast food Chinese joints, I looooove that theirs has a hint if the white pepper taste and also has that wok fried, fire seared taste. They have spicy chicken wings in weet spicy sauce but I ordered it dry WITHOUT the sauce and had them add jalapeños with it. We waited 20 minutes for the fresh made wings (esp bc they were busy) but it's ok it was worth the wait!! This was a craving I had to satisfy since I thought about the chicken wings and chow mein all day long.

So I've been afraid to try this place…read more.. Why? The last place that was here, was a Thai and Chinese fusion type of spot and I just heard bad things about their practices. Stuff like they cleaned or rinsed the mop in the same sink they prepared the food in. Just unsanitary things and I was concerned that this was perhaps the same business, just rebranded-still not entirely sure. Plus, the appearance kinda gave me fast food vibes-typically whenever a plus has that 'look-up menu' (a menu you have to look up at), it's the unhealthy, cheap fast food variety unseen at most every Thai restaurant. But, for some reason, I decided to give them a chance. And I'm glad I did. They may have my favorite pad thai in the area.I enjoyed it so much, I had to run it back again the next day. I'd also ordered the mango sticky rice. It was satisfying, just a little more syrupy than I care for. I forgot to get a picture of it. I only ordered delivery but I wouldn't mind stopping by in person and seeing how they do a number of my other favorite Thai dishes.

This place is definitely a hidden gem in Menifee!…read more We were welcomed as soon as we walked in by our server, Micah who was amazing!! Very attentive, explained the menu, and gave solid recommendations. The restaurant is clean, spacious and clearly family‑owned, which gives it a warm, homey vibe. Mama's Kitchen is the real deal. It's not an all‑you‑can‑eat or cook‑your‑own type of spot. This is true Korean home cooking, made fresh by Mama herself in the kitchen. The name couldn't be more accurate. The menu offers a good variety of different dishes, which are big enough to share between 2 people. We ordered the Japchae and the Korean short ribs (Galbi), which came with steamed rice and five small plates of banchan. The dishes were the perfect amount for my mom and me to share. Everything was delicious. The Galbi was melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender, and the Japchae was seasoned just right with bulgogi and shiitake mushrooms. The banchans definitely hit the spot. I couldn't get enough of the fish cake, shredded daikon kimchi, and cucumber kimchi. The only thing I would suggest, is the size of their banchan! Their serving size were very small amounts. This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint. Mama even came out to check on us, welcomed us personally, and even took a picture with my Mama!! Overall I was quite pleased with our food, even my pickiest critic, my mom, gave it her official Mom's Stamp of Approval, so we'll definitely be back.
