Flavorful broth. One of the few flaces i felt chili oil wasnt needed to flavor broth. It was yummy

If I could rate this customer service is zero I would not gonna lie. Their food is good but the customer service sucks You’re not even able to ask for extra sauce and they treat kids horrible. I just left there and I asked them if I can buy an extra sauce. Usually every restaurant is able to sell extra sauce and the guy was insisting he’s not gonna sell me none.

I paid $22 for a Thai tea and tofu fried rice. They forgot the tofu. After looking at the other reviews I decided it wasn't worth the effort of trying to get it rectified. The food was good, at least. But despite a menu of several drinks they only had thai tea and coffee. You know those restaurants in Japan where they hire old people with memory issues and you might not get what you ordered? Well, come here if you want a taste of that I guess.

This is by far my favorite pho place I’ve been to in riverside. If you are in the nearby area, you have to come by. I always order a number 10, but my mother loves the fish pho. My family and I have been going here consistently since it opened a few years ago and it never disappoints!!

I went here as an early Mother’s Day gift and I was extremely disappointed, it was hot, you can barely understand the waitress the tables were sticky. I ordered orange chicken and rice the orange chicken had a weird taste and the chicken was extremely hard, I asked the older man if they can fix it nd he said no you ordered it basically deal with it, I explained to him he can try it himself the food tasted off the chicken was overcooked and just not good and he basically said there’s nothing he can do than the other Chinese guy just sat there staring at me and my family , terrible customer service and food. Will not be back.

I will always support a mom and pop place. But, unfortunately our dinner was not good at all. We had 71 B crispy noodles. I don't know if the cook was new, very tasteless, not much sauce. Inedible. Doesn't make not me to want to come back. So sorry

I went in there to grab some spring rolls with shrimp and it was a to go order. When I open it, I couldn't believe what I had ordered. I was very disappointed with the spring rolls. It only had lettuce, cumbers and shrimp. No noodles or bean sprouts. I was looking for to the bean sprouts too. Plus they add a tip to my order with I had paid with my card. I put the tip on the jar and still they add on the receipt after I paid 😡. I guess they won't get my business anymore.

Found a hair sticking out of my spring roll, owner inspected it like it was mine. He tried to pull it out and when he couldn’t, said “oh, I’ll make another one”. GROSS! Then they got mad when we wanted to leave and he said we couldn’t leave b/c they were making another. We DID NOT want another. We wanted to puke. Lady owner yelled and told us to just leave after telling them we don’t have an appetite anymore. Rude and gross.
Came here with my niece and it was great. The gentleman who helped us was kind. The food was great! I read the negative reviews and was hesitant at first. But they charge you what it actually costs, if you don’t understand someone I suggest Google translate. Business owners tells you their story on the menu and why it has the name. Perhaps for those don’t take the time to read or pay attention to detail, I suggest taking the time to do so.
Wonderful experience and my niece loved her pho soup!

Honestly, what’s wrong with people. You come to a place to eat VIETNAMESE food. Not to criticize people because they don’t speak perfect English. Of course they will not speak perfect English. My boyfriend and I went through the reviews and he is a huge believer that if service is bad food is great and I got to tell you. Don’t trust the reviews. Customer service was very good. All including the lady mentioned at the comments before was nice. And I specifically took a picture of my boba so you can see the large boba size. These are Vietnamese people, they have different cultures they ain’t going to be like American people. Just sit, speak clear and give thanks for the tasty food. Definitely don’t take it too serious if they aren’t the best host. But I can tell you the food is delicious and definitely appreciated the effort in the costumer service I experienced here. Thank you! ??

I am Vietnamese, a picky Pho eater and this restaurant has won my heart. We went to Riverside for my daughter's UCR school and decided to try out the Pho restaurants in Riverside area. I previously tried other restaurants nearby but none was as compared as Pho DJ. My usual favorite is Chicken Pho. The soup was right on, the noodle was soft enough to chew and not sticking together, the chicken meat is fresh.
The restaurant atmosphere is decent. Everything is clean. It's not super spacious or overly decorated so it's not important for my visit. I came for the food. The service is super nice.
I spoke with the owner couple, they were super friendly. They let me know the restaurant is 6 yrs old and was mainly running by family. They have tried to keep the cost down even though they are a bit struggling with inflation. They cook the Pho with family recipes, soup is cooked with bones, and the noodles are always fresh, and this is what I like about authentic Pho cuisine.
I will definitely revisit this restaurant the next time I am in Riverside area.
