  Its my first time eating here. I'm really impressed. The customer service was really good. The waiters were very respectful and caring. They kept refilling our water cups and they gave us extra lettuce for the egg rolls.
  
  Food was great as well. As said above, I got the egg rolls. It was very delicious. The pho broth was also very good. I would come here again!
  
  Restaurant was very sanitary overall. I liked how they didn't keep the utensils on the table. They would individually give each table a set. I saw how they cleaned tables as well. Very clean bathrooms too.

  I was surprised to see that I don't have a review of my most frequented pho restaurant in the IE (at least two dozen occasions). Many other options have opened in Riverside since I started coming here, but there's a reason it's still on my list of go-to's!
  
  This place is located in a dilapidated strip mall with Koreana Grill and a KFC. The parking is tough unless you go to the back area past the restaurant but the interior of the restaurant is surprisingly modern and fairly big. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes during lunch time and the service is always good if a bit terse.
  
  I rarely get anything but the 'special' pho (a.k.a. the one with all the ingredients) and I'm usually quite happy with it here. Quantity and quality of beef both above the bar and the large is a decent size. Noodles are always a good consistency and the broth is good. The BBQ pork with rice or bun is also pretty good.

  This place used to by my favorite Pho place in all of Inland Empire.  It has amazing decor and atmosphere with an attentive staff that will replenish your water and drinks before your cup is half empty.
  
  However, ever since a year or so ago, they started simplifying their menu by taking away all the dishes that don't get ordered much.
  
  One by one, the dishes my wife and I would always order disappears from the menu into the abyss.  Pho Nam Gan, gone. Crispy noodles, no more. And finally, this past visit, the fresh spring rolls were nowhere to be found.
  
  Do I blame them for trying to make things easier for the kitchen? No, not really. But to me, this place will from now on be known as just Pho Bowl.

  This place is tucked in a Corner across the street for the tylor mall. Although it isn't the greatest location it's still worth a shot to come try it.
  When I walked in the wall decor was unique with images of movie stars in the wall. In addition the have images of inspirational quotes of kids and father. Ambiance was quiet and dark kinda romantic style.
  Now let's get to the food. Egg rolls are defiantly something I think you should get. Felt homemade  and doesn't have the typical restaurant quality's
  There food had good flavor however the potion size is lacking. Everything we order was delicious from beef and rice to vermicelli noodle over beef. Next time I come I'll try there pho because that's what everyone on yelp raves about.
  This is funny but there water doesn't taste like tap water and actually good. So way to go on that aspect
  Otherwise I'm coming back to try new things

  Absolutely amazing. I moved to riverside and Ive been shopping around for the best pho in town. This place is it. The egg rolls are the best I've had. I got the rare beef pho and it was great. Most places I've been to give very little noodle and not enough beef, but not this place. I had a full bowl of pho. My husband got the fried rice and loved it as well! This will be my new pho spot. Don't let the location fool you, inside the restaurant is really nice!
