Pho Dat Vietnamese & Chinese Restaurant

My family has been coming here for 12+ years. The food keeps getting better. They use fresh vegetables and Sparklettes water is served. I have tried all the soups and am never disappointed. The service is fast. This is not a fancy place, but is a family owned place with good food. The drinks with boba are really good. I have had the Mango, Taro, Thai Tea, Mocha, and Strawberry.

Firat time getting phở in the corona area and it was good. I just wouldn’t do take out again, broth was super cold by the time we got home, which was a 5 min drive.

It has been a couple years since I last came for phó. To my surprise the parking lot was substantially empty, granted it was only 2:00pm on a Wednesday. We went in any way hoping the great food I once had long ago was still as good.
The establishment has seen better days, from décor being outdated to the layout and furnishings inside. (Pay phone right next to entrance door)
We were greeted by a younger lady, not as pleasant as I’d hoped, she kind of just waved us towards a booth.
Eating Vietnamese food as often as I do, I was ready to order before I arrived to the restaurant.
She was quick to take our order; Lean Brisket Phó, 1 order of spring rolls & 1 order of egg rolls.
I was hoping to get the spring rolls before the rest of the meal, but it all arrived at once. In hindsight we did not specify we wanted it first and we’re glad that the food arrived in a timely fashion.
The spring rolls unfortunately were mostly noodles and lettuce and only a couple shrimps and hardly any pork. Nothing some siracha & peanut sauce couldn’t fix.
The egg rolls tasted like they were yesterday’s left overs, sadly not even extra fish oil sauce could better them.
The Brisket Phó was large in size, enough to share. Tasted fresh, shredded brisket more so than nice thin cut slices.
Over all it was a tad over priced for the quality of food. Server/​cashier was the least enthusiastic about being there. Sad to say this place has lost its touch.

I have been coming here for years for their BBQ Pork Bang M. It’s takes a few minutes for them to prepare but it is always worth it. Phở Dat is very clean and the lady who runs the front desk is very sweet. I have also had their spring rolls and their fried shrimp. All is fresh and tasty.

Come across this driving down the street. Decided to turn in. Great Phở! The broth has a lot of flavor! Great place!

The food is good, but the décor could use some updates. It looks old and not very clean. Smells musty. Great spring rolls though.

I love this joint! My wife and I get the «A» Phở every Phriday. :) Chi is a crackup if you take a moment to talk with her. We have been going here since we moved to Corona 20+ years ago. Chi always comments on how much my boys have grown. Nice to have a restaurant that feels like family.

I wish I could give 1 star. Place is empty should have been my first clue. Waiter/​cashier had no clue about the food. Got hu tieu and it was terrible. Came out slightly red colored noodles. They were the wrong kind of noodles. Should’ve used fat thick noodles. My picture can’t do it justice. Tasteless and oily. Spring rolls were whatev5. 4 for 6.95? You can get it somewhere else better and cheaper

Super friendly! They were very accomodading with some of our substitutions. I loved the variety too!

Okay, I know there’s phở restaurants on almost every single corner now, but if you live in corona, you definitely know about this place. Service can be a little slow in the morning time (but which phở restaurant isn’t) but the soup base is excellent. Really hard to find a good phở place where the soup is on point even with the high volume to choose from. Definitely better than Express up the street!

I come here often for their shrimp fried rice! It’s the best! It is so good that I don’t mind dealing with the employees attitude. Every time we come it goes something like this
«What you want»
«I’d like the shrimp fried rice»
«Ok»
(She delivers with out saying anything, doesn’t check up on us, and then simply just gives us our bill)
We’re never acknowledged after ordering. But it’s all good. We love their shrimp fried rice and we have learned to just joke about her attitude :)

I’ve been coming here since I was little and always liked their food… BUT the décor is very very very outdated. I always get phở and spring rolls and it’s very good. Service is good and the food always comes out fast so I can’t complain.

I came here on a slow Monday morning with a group of six. we had never been to this place for phở before the food was good. but I can’t begin to explain how rude the server was. I felt like our party was only inconveniencing her. we had asked for more lime for our waters. she said she had no more and was out. strange because when our food came out we had lime on all of the plates! I will not be spending anymore money here. and I am very disappointed I had to in the first place. not worth it.

Waitress’s attitude amuses me eventho i think many may take it offended. Food is ok. Not too great/​bad

Of the infinite words in the English language, I’d say meh… best describes this spot. If you’re craving just & only phở, this place is o… k… the service is distant, and the food, bland, somewhat tasteless. The price was acceptable though. A little more than I feel it’s worth, but it fills you up. & that they offer Chinese food, is a bit of misconception. Let’s just say I’d rather commute to OC for proper phở/​Vietnamese food. I’m pretty forgiving, & it was still pretty crappy…
The GF: I have eaten a lot of phở in my life, but it wasn’t any better than other places that I have eaten at. When I tried my boyfriends food though, I viable grimaced and shot him a look of sympathy because it was terrible.

Hidden gem in riverside but apparently now as good as oc phở ;) phở is most likely their best guality in the over all place though

I love this place! These egg rolls are to die for always fresh, Hot and Crunchy.
The soup is amazing always and so flavorful.

Humm. Owner picked up an old steak house and kept all the decors. Dark, old and my nose smelled the imaginary bacon and eggs. Yet it is phở.
Phở was sub par. Could had left the broth heat a little longer. Center of the noodle still clump together. Spring roll was large but loose with mainly veggies and thin noodles.
Overall, place was depressing and the wait staff was no where to be found. I could have walk out. Entire time there my water was never refill.

Phở dat was chosen on a whim today because it was so rainy and cold out… pleasantly surprised to find a variety of phở choices… had phở tai and added shrimp… came with a lot of veggies and like. Also tried a taro boba which was yummy but a lot of ice. Next time I’ll go light on the ice and finally tried the spring rolls which came with a delicious peanut sauce.

I ordered the fresh shrimp spring rolls. They came out cold and huge because they were filled with lettuces. Not very tasteful. Tho phở broth was cold at the time someone from the kitchen brought it out. This is a very few Vietnamese restaurants in corona and I’m so disappointed. Will have to drive further to Anaheim to get phở.
