Never thought I would be eating pho at someone's house while enjoying a nice scenic view in a quiet neighborhood. This restaurant is literally in someone's home so you'll need to park along the sidewalks. Super lowkey spot and well decorated. The food is delicious and their pho is more on the lighter side but it's still very rich. Expect to pay around $18-20 per dish. Would definitely come back read more

Tiny Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

I had an incredible experience at Tiny Saigon -- easily one of the best Vietnamese meals I've had in a long time. We ordered the Pho Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp, Pork & Egg Roll Vermicelli, Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls, Thai Tea, and Iced Coffee, and every single item was outstanding. Nothing tasted artificial or overly processed -- everything felt authentic, fresh, and made with care. It tasted like something your auntie would cook in her own kitchen... which is exactly what it is. The atmosphere really adds to the experience too. It's an outdoor setup with a great view overlooking Corona, paired with chill music and a relaxed ambiance. Just keep in mind it can get a bit warm on hotter days -- but we went on a perfect 65-degree day, and it couldn't have been better. A little on the pricier side -- our total came out to $78 for all of it, and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend this spot. It genuinely beats a lot of traditional sit-down restaurants. read more

We tried this place because we keep seeing it pop up on social media. It's in the backyard of a home which is pretty cool but understand that means no parking. Service was really slow even though we went at opening and it was only us and folks at another table. They didn't have Thai tea because the lady said they forgot to make it. Pho itself was good but nothing to rave about. Priced a bit high for not having much overhead as far as leasing a building. Staff appeared to just be family and they were all super nice and welcoming. Wish I could say this place is amazing but it's just ok. It's not bad or great, just ok. read more

Tiny Saigon is exactly the kind of place I love supporting -- a true mom and pop small business that feels special the moment you walk in. The concept alone is so cool... it's literally a backyard transformed into a Vietnamese restaurant! Such a creative and unique setup. Despite being in a backyard, it honestly felt like dining at a full restaurant. The breeze, the open-air view, and the laid-back atmosphere made the whole experience really enjoyable. It's cozy, welcoming, and just has a great vibe. Now let's talk about the food -- absolutely amazing. The beef pho was incredibly flavorful and loaded with generous slices of rare steak. Every spoonful was comforting and rich. I also ordered the vermicelli with grilled shrimp, pork, and egg rolls, and it was hands down one of the best vermicelli dishes I've had. Every bite had the perfect mix of flavor, savory meats, and freshness. On top of that, the service was fantastic and really made the whole experience even better. There's about 7 tables ranging from table for 2 to a table for 6. Be patient as there's only the wife who serves and the husband who cooks. Check hours before you go as they are only open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am u til they run out! 10/10. Amazing food, a super unique setting, and a small business that deserves all the love. I can't wait to come back! read more

One of those MEHKOs operating in a neighborhood in Corona Hills that specializes in Vietnamese food. You are literally eating in a back yard (with a nice view of the local hills) so it has the vibe of eating at a friend's house. My visit was in winter so I had a sweatshirt to keep me warm (you are eating outside, after all) It's family operated and they are so friendly and helpful. Saw this place on social media somewhere and since I've been enjoying some other MEHKOs in the area, I just felt I had to go. I walked through the side and got seated right away. There isn't a huge menu, but there seems to be enough where there seems to be something for everyone. It being my first time here, I just had to order the pho. I had a feeling that it was probably going to be enough food, but I couldn't help also ordering some spring rolls. Everything was so tasty and it was a good amount of food! I'm looking forward to coming back and ordering some other items on the menu. read more

This was such a fun and unique experience. The house itself was lovely, one of the best view in Corona. The food itself was so good ! It's a smaller menu so you know each dish took a lot of thought and care. Please be nice to staff! since they're running this out of their own home and it's mainly a small team, table turn over will be a little slower read more

What a hidden gem ! This spot is so unique, it's a residential house converted into a restaurant right in their backyard. Pretty much we're dining at someone's home, but with a beautiful view of the city to top it off. I walked through the left side of the house and was seated immediately. Restroom is in the back with their shower, walking through their laundry room. Beyond the awesome cool setting, the Vietnamese food was absolutely amazing. The portions were huge, and both the peanut sauce and fish sauce were incredibly tasty. You can tell everything is homemade , the flavors were fresh, bold, and full of depth. There's just something about small mom-and-pop spots that really delivers, because they truly know how to cook with heart and flavor. Immediately when I tried the pho broth, it was rich, flavorful, and comforting. I haven't had broth that good in a while. It also had a perfect balance of noodles and meat, so the whole bowl was satisfying. The bún (vermicelli) dish was also tasty. The portion was generous and paired so good with the fish sauce. Spring rolls include pork and shrimp, so good with both the peanut sauce and fish sauce. I was drenching the sauce with it. Such a great place and I'd come again! Lucky for the neighbors, I'd walk over every day for lunch! read more

BE PREPARED to be very patient, understanding , and kind . Wait time and service is a bit long . I came for the first time today ( Friday ) at 1:00 p.m. The establishment is operated by husband and a wife team in a small residential backyard setting . The nice lady was multi -tasking , including being a hostess, cleaning the tables, taking orders, serving the food , and taking your payment, while the husband was manning the home - made delicious BBQ and managing the take out orders . I see why this place has become the hot spot for the city of Corona . I appreciate the vibe , reminds me of my childhood days when I frequented visited my Grandparents and Aunties house for authentic home - cooked meals. I ordered the beef brisket and tripe pho soup priced at $18 . The portions are large and they were generous with the beef and noodles . Wow ! the broth was AMAZING, well balanced with so much flavor and depth. The beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and flavorful . This is a MUST try restaurant. read more

Tiny Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

A hidden little gem tucked away in a quiet Corona Hills neighborhood behind the Walmart on McKinley St--this home-based Vietnamese restaurant feels more like being invited to dinner than dining out. Open, airy, and set in a beautiful backyard, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and clearly family-run with heart. The food? Exceptionally fresh, deeply authentic, and full of care. The pho features perfectly soft noodles and generous portions of high-quality meat, and the menu may be small--but every item shines. And the Thai tea? Hands down the best I've ever had (and I've tried a lot). It's a bit pricier than most Vietnamese restaurants, cash/Zelle/Venmo only, and tipping is encouraged--but once you taste the food and meet Tram (former owner of Pho Anam), it all makes sense. This isn't just a meal--it's a lovingly crafted experience, and one absolutely worth seeking out. read more

原來生活這是這樣， 你有你的難，而我有我的煩， 人生的路原來需要繞那麼多彎，慢慢的，為了四季三餐，我們早就不是原來的那個我們了～ 有人來過在這家在自己家裡營業的餐廳？ 朋友提了很久，終於有空來在yelp 上 179個review 還有4.9顆星，很不簡單耶，座落在 corona 的家庭餐廳， 好新奇呀， 現在居然可以把家改造成對外營業的餐廳，他們賣的是越南料理，沒有請員工就姐弟兩人在做， 東西份量大， 好吃， 炸豬肉春捲， 烤豬肉串都一級棒 ， 朋友的烤雞肉我覺得差我的一點點， 越南咖啡也有水準， 反正跟在外面餐廳吃飯一模一樣啦，跟老闆娘聊天才知道她們原來就是開餐廳的，難怪做的那麼好吃，餐廳賣了後，就在家開始經營餐廳，兩年前才開的， 我來時生意還很好， 服務態度也很棒，就是開的時間不長， 只開十一點到四點，星期一 跟跟二都休息歐！ read more

Come early around opening to avoid a wait and to assure the dish you want is available. Lovely home/backyard restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. Egg rolls were freshly fried, crisp and a yummy start to our meal. My husband ordered the rare steak & brisket pho and I had to try the grilled short rib, as the aroma of the meat cooking was irresistible...we ended up switching our dishes back and forth so we could eat both. The whole experience was great, and we are planning another visit soon. read more

First of all, i was completely taken by surprise when i arrived. I had no idea it was in the backyard of a residence. A real, home cooked meal. We walked around the side of the house and saw the "open" sign, leading us to the back yard. We were greeted by a young lady and raken to our table. After giving us her recommendations, we ordered egg rolls, pho and grilled chicken. The pho was the best i ever had. The broth was so flavorful, the beef tender and the veggies fresh. The egg rolls were full if meat and crispy. The chicken dish was delicious. I highly recommend this family owned business when you want authentic vietnamese food. read more

Finally had the opportunity to stop and try Tiny Saigon! They really have it all thought out and the food was top notch. Service was extremely friendly and quick. Super cozy patio to dine in, comfortable and clean. The pho tasted just like homemade - extremely comforting with so much flavor in a clean broth. The amount of protein was generous and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The tripe was prepared really well and I could taste the difference. The short rib rice plate was delicious as well, quite tender and the nuoc cham was second to none. Really glad I got to have a meal at Tiny Saigon, this is a must try if you get the opportunity! read more

Tiny Saigon - BEEF PHO WITH BRIKSET - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

Heard some good things about this home kitchen from some friends and it was definitely worth the visit! Came for a Saturday lunch and got the Pho brisket with egg rolls on the side as well as the Pho special dish for my wife. The Pho was really good! The broth had no msg, and was tasty and flavorful. Also they give A LOT of brisket. The one thing I wish they had more of was the noodles, but that is a minor complaint. The eggrolls were freshly made for us and were delicious as well! Very crispy and came with a sauce on the side. Service was pretty good as our food came out fairly quickly. Seating is all outdoors with a nice view of the Santa Ana mountains and plenty of shade and greenery. One thing to note is that they only accept Zelle or Venmo. Overall a great spot for some Pho in the area! read more

We wanted to check out Tiny Saigon after seeing it pop up on Instagram, and we're so glad we did! We ordered the pho and the bún thịt nướng, and both hit the spot. The pork in the bún thịt nướng was freshly grilled--you could smell it right away--and it had such great flavor. The phở đặc biệt came out loaded with meats, and the broth was rich and hearty, exactly what you want in a good bowl of pho. One of the best parts was the dining area in the backyard of a home! It had a nice breezy vibe and made the whole experience feel relaxed and cozy. Such a cute little spot for Vietnamese dishes. Overall, it was a really nice experience for my little family to enjoy. We'll definitely be back! read more

I got the pho special, some spring rolls, and the grilled pork. Pho soup was flavorful, spring rolls were fresh but my favorite was definitely the grilled pork skewers. I never would've imagined food could be so good coming from a restaurant that's built out of someone's backyard. I highly recommend this spot read more

SOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD. Super delicious authentic Vietnamese food. They have some good options for a home restaurant and everything is done to perfection.

Our family will most definitely be back!!! read more

This place got 2 MILLION VIEWS on INSTAGRAM! We had to come and check out what all the HYPE was about!... SONG OF THE DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY by QUEEN... Mama, just had some PHO Put a spoon into the bowl, pulled some noodles, with my chopsticks Mama, life had just begun!... PHO with brisket, rare steak and meatballs: 5/5 The broth tasted very clean as if there was NO MSG because I did not feel thirsty afterwards. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor to it and so did the meats. VERMICELLI with grilled chicken: 3/5 the CHICKEN was VERY HARD TO CHEW. I finished everything except the chicken. EGGROLLS: 4/5 good but, not the best! Westminster still beats their egg rolls. SERVICE: We had to flag down for water and it was about 90 degrees outside with NO A/C! I understand they are very busy but, let's put it this way... WAIT TIME: About 40 minutes EATING TIME: 20 minutes TURNOVER TIME: could use some improvement PARKING: PLENTY in a no HOA neighborhood Great idea! Needs to work on execution. Overall, it was a good experience to try at least once. It has a nice view. A small business in the backyard is quite RARE in CALIFORNIA so that's the HYPE... ROCK ON TINY SAIGON!!!!! read more

Home kitchens are popping up around IE and I wanted to try one when visiting family out here. Tiny Saigon is situated in a quaint neighborhood and is set up in a backyard up on a hill. downsides: the HEAT, the wait time to get seated + put your order in, and payment (cash / debit card, Zelle, or Venmo) If you're an IE local, I recommend getting here right when they open if possible. Think there was 7-8 tables and it seems to be run by the family only. Gotta be patient! They got featured on IG so expect them to be extra busy on the weekends. If you are sensitive to heat, I'd wait until summer is over or go later in the day when it cools down. I could tell some customers were getting grumpy from the heat alone.There's shade and fans but def feels like Southeast Asia minus the humidity haha Enjoyed our lunch in the owner's backyard overlooking Riverside and Corona. Pho had a light, herb-y broth and my rice plate with chicken was tender and flavorful. Iced Viet coffee was on the stronger side and wish it was a lil' sweeter. 4.3 overall as they figure out the logistics of running a business at home. read more

Really good Vietnamese food--you can tell it's really homemade. I'm from OC where there is no shortage of Vietnamese food, and I think this is comparable to some of the best while tasting more wholesome/leas salty. The egg rolls really stood out to me--they were so crispy and delicious. It's just a family's backyard, so there's definitely quite a bit of a wait. We might've waited 2 hours on a weekend. Service can be a little slow because it's just one family operating everything. They spruced up their backyard for this really nicely--we sat next to an incredible view of the city. read more

Very reasonable prices, reminds me of a friend's home layout that I've been to. Check their instagram to ensure they're not out. Fwiw, had a very picky viet friend think it was ok but they are an outlier, not sure what to think of that but I thought it was quite good! A bit homey feel obviously but you know you're not going to a normal sitdown restaurant here! read more

Tiny Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Corona, California

Got here about 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday and was already the 5th group in line. We didn't make it in with the first seating but were seated about 15 minutes after they opened. If you're visiting on a hot day, be prepared to sweat--there's only one ceiling fan and not much air circulation, so it can get pretty warm while you wait and eat. The pho special was a solid 8.5/10. The broth had great flavor--rich without being overly oily. The meat ratio was generous, but I personally would have preferred more noodles and a little less meat. Still, definitely one of the better bowls I've had flavor-wise. The pork egg rolls were tasty, but the sauce it came with--not your typical sweet chili, something much better The vermicelli noodles were fresh and vibrant, and the fish sauce had a nice little kick that pulled everything together. Overall, it's a really good spot, especially considering it's run out of someone's backyard. That said, would I come back? Probably not. The service was noticeably slower compared to most pho places, which makes sense since it's basically a three-person operation. So don't expect to be in and out quickly. read more

Highly recommend the pork and shrimp egg rolls The vermicelli plate with pork and shrimp and egg roll was one of the best plates I've had in a while. Great flavor. Very balanced.

TLDR: no words to describe their food, incredible. I don't eat pho at restaurants anymore cuz my aunt makes it better but Tiny Saigon does it right. Really long wait due to recent surge in popularity. Ambiance and vibes are there. Please increase the prices and make it reservations only! I've never recommended a restaurant to increase their prices hahaha Talked with owner after meal. First off, she's so kind and hard working. I wish this place never blew up cuz she looks so tired. She mentioned it's too much work. She is grateful for all the love and support but it's too much. She used to be an engineer who quit and opened up a Vietnamese restaurant. However, she closed because it was too much work. Started this out of her backyard because she enjoyed sharing her food and people loved the backyard ambiance. However, since it went viral, all her regulars left because there would be lines before they even open. She now saves her regulars portions as they come 4 times a week. Advice: reservation system. Max 10-20 customers each time slot. Increase pricing! Similar to fine dining. This is truly a gem. I would give it a Michelin star haha! We came at 5:30PM on a Saturday. They technically were already closed as they ran out of food. However they still served us with whatever they had left. Luckily everything on their menu is so good. From time we sat down to time we got food was probably an hour wait. Totally understandable. It's a grill master/chef/prep guy, his wife and daughter waiter/prep/cashier. All looked exhausted. I wanted to jump in there and help . They ran out of coffee and gsve is free milk tea with whatever they had left. I think it would've been better but they ran out of tea so it was a bit milky. Another table's looked darker in color. short rib rice plate: 10/10. Their rice is so good and idk why lol my dad asked them what brand they use . It's just regular steamed rice but it was the perfect texture not too dry or wet with a nice chew. Soaks up all the amazing fish sauce. Short rib was grilled to perfection. Nice pickled carrots and lettuce to go with it. Short rib vermicelli: 10/10. Same as rice plate but with vermicelli. vermicelli was cooked PERFECT! Not too soggy or undercooked. The perfect cook time. Same comments as rice plate. Pho đặc biệt: 9/10 the brisket is sooooo good. The soup was a bit on the sweet side for my liking but still really good with some lemon. Wish they gave more mint and herbs! I love my herbs in my pho. They only had mint here. Also bean sprouts were fresh. Jalapeños were spicy and added a nice kick. We ordered 2 bowls. Overall, I can tell they are very particular about the quality of food. They pay very close attention to every single detail down to the grain of rice. I can't say more great things about them. But please! Don't all rush over there right now haha they opened this to take it easy but little did they know there would be lines down the block. Park on the street in the neighborhood anywhere. Bit hidden just look for the sign! read more

Probably the best place for Vietnamese food in SoCal!!! Both the Vietnamese Tea and the Pho are a must-get! Food and service are amazing. I know the place gets busy during the normal lunch times, but I haven't experienced it yet. Yet the best reason to come here is that they don't use MSG in their food. The only downside is that the hours are not set in stone, as this is a family-run place. read more

Beef is so tender and juicy plus dipping it in the garlic sauce you'll finish the bowl! The fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce is packed full. Don't forget to add all those sauces on your table!
