Pho 36 Corona Reviews
Best Pho restaurant in South Corona. The staff is attentive and helpful. Call ahead orders keep this place very busy so everything is fresh and delicious. Both done in and take away has been great experiences. Kids scissors and bowls and an extra side of noodles adds the extra helpfulness. Something negative would be the tight parking area directly in front of the shop because of the other businesses, but there is plenty of parking at the end of the lot if you are willing to walk
Food was delicious and had huge portions. The staff members were kind and considerate towards customers. The Thai milk tea was yummy and sweet. Food was cooked well, and designed beautifully. Inside the restaurant has a modern style and fancy. The vibe was warm and fun. Will come back soon!
As a pho fan, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this place! Solid, rich flavor to the broth with quick service makes this an Asian food staple in Corona. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu though you can make the necessary adjustments to your preferences. Service is friendly and suggests openly. I'm always in the mood for a bowl here.
It is nice to get a cup of water that doesn’t taste like tap water. I was sharing a large bowl of soup with my wife and it tasted amazing. Serving was nice and the atmosphere was pleasant.
We normal come here for the large number 1 pho, decided to get something else tonight and was really good, had the number 66 with crunchy rice noodles tasted so good
I enjoy the environment they set up. The place is clean, organized, pleasant to the eye, and service is good. Ordered pho. The large bowl IS BIG. The coconut smoothie is delicious. Would come back here, especially to try more smoothies
Food was fantastic! The place was incredibly busy, but the food came out relatively quickly. The prices are very fair, the bahn mi sandwiches are cheap at $4.50, and the rest of the menu is on par with other restaurants or a little cheaper. The decorations were very nice, noticeable without being visually overpowering. Staff was polite and really brought the experience together!
Beautiful service and perfect amazing tasty food and best pho I ever ate
Pho was delicious and they open early. In San Diego and LA you can have pho for breakfast, not too many places opens early. Not only were they opened but it was delicious l. I’m a fan of dark broths, and it was delicious. Staff was fast and friendly.
An absolute gem of a Vietnamese restaurant. Super clean environment. The staff was super friendly. Smile on their face. Fastest bowl of pho I have ever had. The flavor was excellent. In my top 5 for sure. Spring rolls are delicious and plentiful. The price was excellent for the amount of food that I received. Can't wait to come back!
As soon as I walked in I was hit with the most amazing smell of the soup. The place was really clean, and the table had evething I needed. Spoons, napkins, chopsticks and condiments. The menu was easy to read and you're able to choose what type of meat you wanted, and they had a sea food option. I got the meat pho and my dad got the sea food pho, we also got the egg rolls. There are two sizes for the soup. The soup came in hot and fast, ate the whole bowl & egg rolls. Please come here !
I'm really happy to have found such a clean and delicious Vietnamese pho restaurant in the Corona neighborhood. I visited right at 9 AM when they opened, and while it took a little time to prepare the food, the fresh vegetables and pho were prepared beautifully and tasted great.
First time dining here. The food was delicious and we were quickly served. It also is very clean and has a great ambiance. Prices are also very reasonable with a small bowl of pho being between $8 to $9. By the way, the small bowl is huge as you can see in the picture we could not finish it and we had been starving. Overall, great price, good food, good service.
Stopped in for lunch. Had Shrimp paste on sugar cane with tiny vermicelli wraps and boba smoothies, all tasted as it should :) The waiter did forget to put in other item (reason for 3-star service).
Yummy #61 vermicelli with egg rolls (total $14)! I ordered TO-GO over the phone on a Sunday 11:09am. Pick up was ready in 15 minutes. I asked if they could make the egg rolls vegetarian (no meat) and they did! My order was still warm when I got home - super tasty, flavorful, and fresh! I am happy I gave this a try and will definitely be coming back!
Food has great taste!! When we entered there was a sign that says “please wait to be seated” we waited for a waiter to approach us. but from far away someone just pointed at a table that was available. And when we sat down the waiter approached us, gave us a fantastic costumer service The drinks are awesome!!! Very natural i drive all orange county and havent find a place that have the same taste !!! We like it and enjoy the time we spent in this restaurant !! very clean!!!! Enjoy to be here every Friday they deserve the 5star
First visit today. Very clean, nice decor and friendly staff. Food is pretty good here. We will be coming back for more deliciousness. This dish is #70 .... I recommend it.
Very nice place. We got our food very quick and the food tasted great! Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend for some authentic pho👌
Came to the Corona Area For business ended up with a bit of an appetite and came across this Pho Restaurant lovely staff and great location food is delicious and worth a try!

Great Pho #11, great service!!!! I visit here often 😋No photos, I just start eating 😁 Next time👌🏽
Very nice little Pho joint. I just stopped in for a snack so I only had an order of Chả giò which was very good. Nice service. I'll try to stop again for lunch and have some pho.
Hands down the best pho spot!! Service was fast and super friendly! It was very delicious

Good food, good and fast service. Nice and quiet environment. I am very observative, so the only bad thing that I noticed is that they need to pay closer attention to the cleaning on the building floors, walls, door handles items on the tables, such as, the bottles, utensils, etc. They do have an A on the entrance from the county, but like I said, I am very observative, and I noticed those things right away.
The broth was good. Very clean very little oil. Bbq pork spring rolls was good as well. Down side: - service lady didnt write anything down. Totally forgot to add our extra noodles to one of out soups. - very little tripe in our #1 combination soup. Other than that. The food was very good.
Nice place, great food. Service fair. My biggest complaint is the restroom path accessibility. There are multiple things blocking wheel chairs to move freely on the restroom hall. Also, restrooms used to be cleaner and neat. It needs attention from management. Thank you!
They didn't have the vegan ham sandwiches I like, but hey, markets so I can't be too upset. My friends and I enjoyed our visit and it was great having a place to sit down and enjoy each other's company.
Portions are smaller than others I’ve seen but it’s hard times for small businesses in CA. So I understand… expect $30-$40+ for 2 people depending on whether or not you buy drinks/appetizers
Had egg rolls, bun and pho(large) for three adults. $60 after tip and we left with full stomachs. Small business so I can see some people might complain about the slow service but food came out quick enough for us and it was hot and yummy and filled our empty stomachs street a very long day of lacrosse at SilverLakes.
The food here is amazing. My issue is when I call to make a pick up order the phone is disconnected. Ordering through delivery the prices are almost 2x as high. So because of this I ended up going to Popeye's. I love eating here dining in, but they need to fix their website/phone and do better by the customers so we can order through them directly. It's completely unaffordable to order pickup through the services that were available and for no reason. They have no website running. I've also been charged too much for a drink here, like way too much so I recommend confirming the price of what you're ordering as you order it here. It's that's kind of place. But the food is delicious 😋
Hello everyone. This is a great pho restaurant. The service is quick and the food is quick. I recommend the meatball pho. Not sure what to order, just ask the staff. They are friendly to first time visitors. Thank you for reading my review. Please follow me on Google maps and check out the places I visit.
Spot is beautiful. Decor is really nice and in a nice area. The employees here are kind like not rude but are not nicest people either.. but the food comes out fast and taste great. As well as the smoothies.
It was my first time trying this place and I loved it. The food here was very good and fulfilling. Only thing that disappointed me is that there wasn't a changing table in the bathroom for babies. Just letting parents be prepared for that.

Price is high. Two bowls of pho and four egg rolls for roughly $50. They're extremely conservative with the meat. For $15 a bowl I'm expecting more. I understand inflation but, probably won't be coming back due to pricing.
This place is pretty pricey for 2 people the total was $50. We only order 2 bowls of pho and a side of egg rolls! The beef pho didn't have any flavor. The service was alright.
The seafood soup was tasty but the picture on their menu depicts it having more seafood in it, when I ordered it it had way less meat than depicted in the picture, was mostly noodles but again, it was tasty. Service was slow! Clean restaurant and cool temperature which was great when stepping in from the heat.
The good: interior was fairly modern, lots of seating, and no wait. Do not take the booth tables near the door if it is cold outside. The restaurant is busy so the door is almost constantly open. The waitress was grumpy but efficient and I care more about efficiency so the grumpiness is not a deterrent to me. The bad: the banh mi was not good. The meat was fatty and not rendered well, which made the beef tough and chewy. The sandwich is served on a non-toasted French roll instead of a crispy baguette with the flakey bread banh mi sandwiches are known for. The pho was average, not bad, and not great, just ok.
Ambiance and service are great. The pho tho.... its okay. The broth is lighter in flavor than I'd hope and there's with bitterness on the back end of every spoonful. The noodles are low quality or handled poorly. There's very little meat per bowl. Overall, though. I'm still on the hunt for good pho
This place was better a year or so ago. The Pho doesn’t taste the same. The meat was tough and not the usual delicious Pho I was used to. Service is always friendly and place always clean.

The restaurant itself is fine, but the pho was bad. Tendon was too tough; undercooked, and beef (besides the rare steak) was too tough; overcooked. There was one good piece of tendon in my soup but the rest was not. The broth is also not great. Good for Corona's standard, but needs to do better, especially for the price.
The place looked clean and kept organized. The waitress who took our order, however, was rude and made us feel rushed to order. The food portion was small and tasted bland. The pho tasted like hot water and had no flavor. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Would definitely not be going back.
My daughters and I love Pho and always are checking out new places. Was happy to see another Pho place open closer to home. The decor is very pleasant and modern. The Pho was mediocre at best. Had the Pho with rare steak and brisket. The broth was pretty flavorless... had to add different sauces on the table to get it more tasty. The vermicelli noodle texture in mine was kind of mushy. Spring Rolls were good. Service ok. May be back to try other dishes from the menu or take out but definitely not for the Pho:(
Ordered Combination Pho and told this is what we got. I don't care how busy you guys are coz when you charge me for the food, we paid you with no issues. We asked for beef and tendon and this is what you served us. Also, fix it when it’s wrong, not tell us you tried. Why would we go out of our way again, and why do you still want us to go back there to get what you forgot to give? At least have the decency to fix your mistake. You don't do that to your customers.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but Pho 36 was a huge disappointment. The pho tasted like water with noodles—absolutely no flavor, like they forgot the broth entirely. Everything was bland and just felt rushed. On top of that, the service was horrible. The staff acted like they were annoyed we were even there—cold attitude and no basic courtesy. There are way better Vietnamese spots nearby. Definitely won’t be coming back.
This place is truly unsanitary. The employees are openly eating while working, which is fine during a lunch break, but the hygiene practices are unacceptable. They’re not washing their hands after touching their mouths, wiping their noses, or rubbing their eyes, and then they proceed to handle the food they’re serving to customers. While it’s understood that we can’t see everything that happens during food preparation, doing this in plain view is completely off-putting. How are customers expected to enjoy their food under these conditions? It’s unacceptable and downright disgusting. Also standing there while you’re still eating with the bill for us to pay, come on do better!
Pho is my favorite soup and this place was not the place to find a good pho soup. I ordered egg roll with the meat and a soup. My first look at the egg roll, I knew something didn’t look right with how it was rolled. Anyhow the outcome turns out that their food gave me the runs! I mean a whole lot of gas. Never will go back to this place! If you want some real pho soup check out the one Temecula! They are the best and they understand English and speak good English. Also it cost me $26 just for the both and I only had water. SMH
We have been loyal customers every time we are going to the airport. But this time we were asked to move our table just because a group of 10 arrived later. The restaurant was 90% empty at the time and there were clearly seats available but they told us to move away after being seated and settled everything down. The food is OK for its price point but we felt like we were treated unfairly.
