Pho Ha #7 University Ave

I've been here twice for lunch, and I can confidently say this is my go-to spot when I'm craving pho. The pho has a rich, flavorful broth that really stands out. We also tried the bánh mì sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. The egg rolls are always one of my favorites, but this time I decided to try the Vietnamese tacos, and they were incredible. Everything we've ordered has been fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant does get pretty busy during the lunch rush, which is always a good sign. It's located next to a trade school, so parking can be a little challenging at peak times, but the food is definitely worth it. I also like that they have an entire section of the menu dedicated to vegetarian options, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll enjoy. Overall, this is an excellent lunch spot with great food, generous portions, and plenty of menu options. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the Riverside area!

This spot is amazing and food is so delicious with so many options. The waitress Daisy was amazing she was so attentive and very hospitable and made our experience so delightfully. She was super busy , but got our orders perfect and went above and beyond to make it a great experience. Food was delicious with generous portions. We have a new favorite pho spot. And daisy needs a raise she is an asset to this restaurant

Overall was very disappointed with the food and service when I went in today. I have been once before and the food was good. Went today and ordered the same thing (Pho #1) and was completely skimped on toppings. I paid 17 dollars for a bowl of broth and meat scraps. On top of that, we can never seem to get the waiter to bring us water. We asked 3 separate times to 2 different waiters and were ignored every time. My party walked out thirsty. Whats funny is the same thing happened last time we came as well. As a matter of fact, last time we went the waiter asked if we wanted water, we said yes, and he never came back. If it was one time I can understand people forget, but 4 separate times?? It wasn’t even busy, we were one of 3 groups in the restaurant. Horrible service. Go to any other pho place

Strongly recommend dining in if you plan to order rice dishes or care about balanced nutrition. The amount of fresh vegetables is much smaller with takeout or pick-up. When I ordered Cơm Bò Kho to go, it only came with two pieces of tomato and a small dish of pickled vegetables, rather than a proper portion of fresh greens. Additionally, they only give about half a container of the beef stew However, when I previously ate Cơm Sườn Ram Mặn at the restaurant, the vegetable portion was noticeably larger and included fresh lettuce 😞（ love their salad but they don’t give it too much in takeout food) Flavor wise, both dishes lean much sweet rather than savory, so keep that in mind if you prefer a salty profile or not. Between the two, I would recommend Cơm Sườn Ram (stew pork rib). The meat is more tender and soft. the dish comes with more side vegetables, including bell peppers and onions. In comparison, the stew beef in Cơm Bò Kho is a bit firmer and drier, and the stew mainly contains carrot chunks (though the carrot pieces were cut into a very cute shape ☺️) btw, their Nem cuốn is very tasty, but it doesn’t contain rice vermicelli just fyi, so it’s probably not something that wi

I found hair in my food. I actually don’t care that much of hair as long as it’s not pubic hair lol. The food is decent Vietnamese food. I usually go for take out. It’s not great or bad Vietnamese food. Egg rolls are good. I specified one dish should have peanuts but not the other one. They took out peanuts from both. I find that Vietnamese restaurants do not do well on instructions for peanut allergies and will tend to take out all peanuts on everything to be safe.
