Update 12/6/17: I'm quite disappointed. Had such an amazing experience the first time coming here. Got the Pho All In again, and while the brothers was super good, the meat was horrible. The meat was chewy, tough, and riddle with gristle and fat. In no way was this quality meat.
Lumped in with the meat, were extra clumps of more fat and gristle. It looked like what they throw into the broth to flavor it? Maybe. But it was disgusting. I hope for a better experience next time.
Quick summary, this place has the best pho I've had in the Los Angeles area. The surprise is it is located all the way in North Corona (Norco).
Service: Staff are friendly and attentive. You get the feeling they care about serving you a good meal. I appreciate that. If you are a regular to this place, its like coming home.
Food: We tried the Pho All-in and the Veggie Tofu Pho. Both were amazing. Veggies and Tofu were cooked perfectly and the (chicken) broth was flavorful. The Pho All-in is where all the praise really goes. The broth was darker than most Pho places and packed lots of flavor. I usually add hoisin sauce and chili paste to pho to give it more flavor, but it didn't need any at all! Thats how good it was!
The Pho All-in comes with different types of beef (filet mignon, flank, brisket, tendon, and beef balls) and there was plenty of meat. My only complaint being they have one bowl size, unlike many other pho places that serve a small and large size. Pho Amor's bowl is on the medium size, no where near as large as others. With that, there is still plenty of meat and broth, but you receive less noodles than other places.
Atmosphere: A little small and sterile. Nothing homie about it, just standard bright lights. Not good for big parties, as the place may only fit 20 people total (I could be wrong about...
Read moreWent here because I was in the mood for hot soup and I read that this place has vegetarian options.
It's located at a strip mall and there's parking right in front reserved for customers.
The decorations are nice and the place is clean.
I ordered to go even though we planned to eat in just so we'd already have containers for the leftovers, but it made us laugh when I started unwrapping the spring rolls because the edible wrapper looked like the plastic wrapper they were wrapped in. I was like "Wait, that's the part we eat!"
It was also a nice surprise when the cashier said that our Thai ice teas would be free since it was our first time there.
For to go, they put the noodles and other ingredients in a bowl, the broth in another container, and the sauces and other extra stuff are wrapped separately so you can add and leave things out to your taste.
If you're trying to eat vegan, though, you're out of luck because they only have a choice between chicken and beef broth.
Otherwise, it was all...
Read moreAre used to always get food here. I don’t know if it’s a new owner or what’s going on. I wanted to cry when I got home to eat. The noodles were super rubbery they put the filet mignon on the bottom of the bra and it was so hard and chewy And it had a weird smell to it. The broth used to be clear there was so much beef scum floating around I saw the cook grab a huge bucket and scooped out the broth so it’s definitely not homemade or maybe it’s just old who knows The rice was definitely old. The only thing I ate was the two egg rolls, but couldn’t even use the lettuce to wrap them with because it was brown. All the bean sprouts were soggy and moldy. I’m very disappointed and sad that this place is not the same there’s different prices when you call to make a phone order and when you get there, the prices are a lot cheaper I would figure they would still give you...
