Tiny Saigon - Corona, California

I loved the outdoor dining. Super hangout family feel.

Service was great, welcoming felt like i was at a friends for dinner, and it all came out so hot and fresh... I can get used to this!

Pho was fantastic, I also love the egg rolls. It was a rich broth, full of flavor 😄

Every now and again you find a spot that seems too good to be true. Such is the case with Tiny Saigon, a microenterprise home kitchen operation (MEHKO) in Corona. This home kitchen serves up delightful Vietnamese food on a backyard balcony with nice views of the neighborhoods below. The operation is clean and the service is friendly. For those hesitant about MEHKOs, their required permits are all posted in the eating area. On a warm day, I had the cold vermicelli noodles with chicken. Don't skip the egg roll; they're fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh with lively flavors and bright colors. Most dishes were in the $14-17 range.

Tiny Saigon has rocketed to the top of my favorites list for Vietnamese food. I'll return here and can hardly wait to try their Phở. There's a good amount of parking in the neighborhood and with any home kitchen operation, be mindful of the neighbors since I'm sure any complaints would quickly come back to Tiny Saigon.

First time here. The Pho 🍜 is so delicious. One of the best I ever had. Made fresh with No MSG!!!!
You can tell this soup is nutrient rich! You can just taste it. I live a bit far away but I will be coming here once a week or more. I recommend this place to everyone. The owners are so kind. I felt like I was at home here. You will too.

Everything about this place was so good. It just has a good fresh homemade taste to it, all those be big pho restaurants can’t compare to this home cooked pho ! No msg ! You can’t beat it. I would be returning, it’s worth the drive.

Beautiful location and some of the best Vietnamese food I have had in a while. I will 100% be going back again soon. Despite that it was a hot day in Corona, it was very cool at the restaurant because they have misters and fans running on their patio. Small menu but great choices! I ordered the special Combo Pho, Short-ribs & rice, shrimp & pork eggrolls & Vietnamese Coffee. I love that you can look in the window to watch them preparing the food- and if you order something BBQ like the short ribs, you can smell their backyard BBQ cooking your food. Home cooked quality and taste- literally! Give it a try and let me know what you think. Jim Mabey

First of all, this is a restaurant set up in there back yard. They have all the permits necessary for this, and I've included that in the pictures.

Wow, this is the best Pho and spring rolls I've had in a very long time, possibly ever. I ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee, spring rolls, and pho with rare steak.

With the coffee, you can taste the light bitterness in the back of your throat. I'm not a fan of bitter, but it's not overpowering and is really good.

The spring rolls have 3 shrimp in them and pork along with the veggies. Fresh, all the ingredients taste fresh, and it's extremely well wrapped. It's light, refreshing, and a tasty little starter. The peanut sauce accompanies it well. Don't be stingy with the sauce.

Now, onto the Pho. On the side, it's served with bean sprouts, a few jalapeños, a lemon slice, and cilantro. The broth of the pho is rich with flavor, and you can taste the meaty flavor in it. It's wasn't oily or fatty, just full of flavor. The portion of meat in the I'd say it about 4ozs, the meat lastest me until I was just about done with the noodles. It was cooked to perfection and was nice and tender. The pho also had a good amount of noddles in it, I'm not exactly sure how to gauge that type of noodle, but it didn't seem over or undercooked. Like I said at the beginning, this is probably the best pho I ever had. I've only really had it in the riverside, so take that as you will.

Everything really came together nicely throughout the meal. I'm assuming it's a wife and husband, and they are really nice. She asked me how I found the place. I just found it by happenstance earlier today, and I'm glad I did as I'll be back again, especially with the colder weather coming.

These people are inviting us into there home, to taste their food. You can taste the love they put into their food and the cute dinning area they've created. It's welcoming. I'd highly recommend you check this place out. :))

Ps, the chop sticks they provide aren't the cheap ones.

Wow this place is a hidden gem!!! Chef Lee and Pham are the dynamic duo. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, grilled chicken skewer vermicelli plate (Bun Ga Nuong) and the grilled chicken skewer rice plate (Com Tom Nuong). We added shrimp skewers. It was the perfect meal!! The sauces were delicious and elevated the meal. We were very impressed and thrilled to find amazing Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend dining in because the setup makes you feel like you’re on an island getaway.
