Update 12/6/17: I'm quite disappointed. Had such an amazing experience the first time coming here. Got the Pho All In again, and while the brothers was super good, the meat was horrible. The meat was chewy, tough, and riddle with gristle and fat. In no way was this quality meat.
Lumped in with the meat, were extra clumps of more fat and gristle. It looked like what they throw into the broth to flavor it? Maybe. But it was disgusting. I hope for a better experience next time.

Quick summary, this place has the best pho I've had in the Los Angeles area. The surprise is it is located all the way in North Corona (Norco).
Service: Staff are friendly and attentive. You get the feeling they care about serving you a good meal. I appreciate that. If you are a regular to this place, its like coming home.
Food: We tried the Pho All-in and the Veggie Tofu Pho. Both were amazing. Veggies and Tofu were cooked perfectly and the (chicken) broth was flavorful. The Pho All-in is where all the praise really goes. The broth was darker than most Pho places and packed lots of flavor. I usually add hoisin sauce and chili paste to pho to give it more flavor, but it didn't need any at all! Thats how good it was!
The Pho All-in comes with different types of beef (filet mignon, flank, brisket, tendon, and beef balls) and there was plenty of meat. My only complaint being they have one bowl size, unlike many other pho places that serve a small and large size. Pho Amor's bowl is on the medium size, no where near as large as others. With that, there is still plenty of meat and broth, but you receive less noodles than other places.
Atmosphere: A little small and sterile. Nothing homie about it, just standard bright lights. Not good for big parties, as the place may only fit 20 people total (I could be wrong about the number).
