Pho 81 Vietnamese Cuisine

This is the best pho in riverside! The brisket pho and chicken fried rice are my top picks, as well as the egg rolls!! I always have such a great experience picking up my food, the employees are always so kind. There’s times where they get extremely busy and they still manage to be considerate towards their customers.

Food was fantastic. #60 with shrimp and #3 hit the spot, egg rolls and spring rolls complimented the meals very well. The place is very clean and server was very attentive. Will definitely be back.

Pho 81 has hands down the best-tasting pho in town! The broth is rich and flavorful, and I always add a bit of the chili oil to give it that extra kick—highly recommend if you like a little heat.

The customer service here is awesome. The staff is always attentive, and the owners are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. This place has definitely become my go-to spot anytime I’m in the area. If you’re craving a solid bowl of pho, this is the place to be!

What I could say about this pho 81 is that the service who was attending to us she was really good and very welcoming and as for her people skills with being very nice to everyone, I appreciate because customer service goes very far with restaurants and with making sure the customers are well taken care of with their establishment and once again, thank you so much for your guys’s kind service 🫶

Nice quiet Vietnamese restaurant. Food can be a bit salty but they'll try to accommodate your requests.
Been a customer for several years and still going, that's a big compliment from me, as I'm pretty picky!
Service is good and professional. Egg rolls are very tasty. Rice and vermicelli dishes are fresh and tasty

Food is not good. I was so disappointed 😞. The pho was so greasy, the noodles tasted weird. It was our first time here. The place was really clean, nice place but food just doest taste right. The pork fried rice was basically steak size pieces of pork on top of a small amount of rice with possibly canned vegetables, idk. Not authentic. The server was nice very attentive and polite.

Arguably the BEST pho around the whole Inland Empire. It is a small, family owned restaurant next to the Albertsons and walking distance from the Van Buren Drive-in theater. I'm a regular at this place and the owner and staff recognize me and know my order so much so that by the time I sit down, they pretty much have my order ready. I don't expect this from them every time and don't expect them to do anything for me or provide special treatment, but the fact that they take care of anyone I take and myself makes me appreciate them much more. The staff is just that good and caring about this place. The people here are humble and so nice. The pho is just so delicious and comforting, it feels like a warm hug. It's great for any occasion: when it's cold, raining, when you're sick, when you're hungover, and even when it's hot. The day that I eventually move, no matter how far, I will come to this place for the Pho. It is that damn good. They even offer a broth only Pho that was perfect when I had my wisdom teeth removed and I couldn't chew anything for a few days and I was hungry and craving pho, so I appreciate that even more. The other food they serve smells so delicious that I'm tempted to try it one day. The portion sizes are pretty generous and good, too. One of my friends ordered a noodle dish and it looked and smelled amazing and he said it was quite delicious, and he is quite picky about what and where he eats. My fiance usually never finishes a dish, but almost always finishes it here. I've ordered delivery here a few times and the food is always as good as when you dine in and the portions are also the same as when you dine in. It always manages to somehow arrive at my doorstep just as hot as dining in, almost as if they had made it in my own kitchen. Anytime you crave pho or wanna try something different if you've never had this before, give this place a shot, you will not regret it. I can't recommend this place enough. Just eat here.

The portion sizes were small. The service was not good. The waitress couldn’t be bothered to speak clearly; we couldn’t understand a word she was saying. The walls and tables were pretty grimy. Everything about this place was just really low quality considering how expensive it was.

You can taste the freshness in the food. We had some dumplings that were really flavorful. The only thing is that it wasn’t busy, but no one would come check on us so we kinda had to wait to see someone to ask for stuff. Other than that, the pho was delicious because it wasnt over seasoned but still had rich flavor.
