Phở Vinam Restaurant — Restaurant in Riverside

Well I don't even know where to start. We were sitting down waiting for our food. Then I see the lady that works there sitting at the back table and she was scratching her feet I figure she will go to the bathroom and wash her hands...oh no no no no She went to the kitchen and grabbed some food for another customer I don't know if she washed her hands

Second one. She was walking around the restaurant scratching her head That is so gross for me to see in a restaurant..

Third one. Some homeless lady ask if she can use the restroom they said yes. The lady took like 10 minutes in there The waitress? goes and starts screaming at the homeless lady to get out Shouting at her So uncomfortable for the customers that were there. ON TOP OF THAT I FOUND A HAIR IN MY SOUP. What an evening.

There are so many ways to work around all these issues in a redtaurant. This lady should not be working at any restaurant. Her hair was all over her face. I don't think that we would ever go back I used to love this place.. ...

My in laws wanted to come here because it was the closest one they knew about. It didn't disappoint. The pho here is tasty and plentiful. The broth is clear and tastes home made.The noodles weren't stiff and there is plenty of accoutrements given for each individual bowl. Some of the basil looked withered on my plate, but my father's in laws plate was fine. It must've been just a bad batch of veggies.

One of my favorite things here is they the condiments section. One of the few places I know that have roasted garlic chili oil for that spicy kick.

Inside the place has plenty of seating, but looked to be a bit discombobulated and unkempt. The service is quick and ordering was a breeze since the waiter punches in the orders on an Ipad. This place is easy on the wallet and you won't leave hungry. If you're a starving college student (which most people that come here are) then this place is a great. I would come here again if my in laws...

Pho Vinam

I've been going to this restaurant for the past four years and have never been disappointed by the service or quality of food.

This family-owned joint is nestled in UCR's university village so it makes it a very popular spot for students to dine in and even do some homework in between classes. The pho soups are low in price (around $7-9 depending on the type and size) and are always piping hot when served.

A lot of people will beg to differ and say that this place is not a good restaurant but in all of the pho places I have been to in Riverside, this one takes the cake. Plenty of noodles, broth, and a more than generous serving of meat in the soup makes it easy for anyone to see just how good this place is.

The old man who works as the server and busser is my absolute favorite: he's such...
