Pho Anh Hotpot & Crawfish — Restaurant in Riverside

I was hesitant about going to this place in the beginning.

As soon as I walked in, customers weren't the same ethnicity, so I was kinda worried about the taste.

Then I started reading the reviews, and it wasn't helping their case.

But everyone who has reviewed this place with 3 or lower stars is very wrong.

Also, there was a review about a woman being rude. That is not true, keep in mind Vietnamese people are very vocal this doesn't mean they are rude or whatever that other review said.

And I'm filipino.

All the food I tried tasted so good, and the service isn't the best, but being the only 1 server, he is doing his best.

List of food I've tried

Filet Minion sizzling plate combo was amazing it came with rice and broth. The broth was so good. I look forward to ordering pho next time.

Pork bbq rice plate was great as well. Taste was on point, kids loved it as well

Stir fried chow mein combo, my kids loved it

Spring rolls with peanut sauce, no complaints, yum

Cajun seafood - weird mixture to have at a Vietnamese place but for the price not so bad love it as well, order combo 1 which came with 1lb of shrimp, clam and crawfish

Sorry, no pictures, I ate it all too fast next time I will take...

I've been eyeing this place for quite some time now, having lived in Riverside for the past 8 years and not once entering. Since our usual spot was closing early for Memorial Day, we had to resort to trying out a new place. So, I finally chose this place. Let me tell you, I do not regret it one bit. This place is now my second favorite Pho place in Riverside! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The flavor was great and their Fatty Brisket? My gosh that thing melts in your mouth with so much flavor! Check this place out, you won't regret it! The location doesn't seem like much, but the flavor more than speaks...

DESERVE ALL THE STARS AND MORE!!!

I have to start by saying the service is phenomenal! I got there 30 minutes before closing and they still seated me. I ordered the special pho with rib, LOVED IT! Omg. The egg rolls were good too. Mango tea a little sweater than I’d like, but this is my spot now!

The broth wasn’t as clean as I liked, but packed so much flavor! Meat was soooo tender! The rib was falling off the bone. I’d actually ask for extra noodles too bc it was so much meat! I didn’t really care for the shrimp wraps, they were...
