Noodle soup is too too salty! I’ve lived in Thailand for 3 years, I know the normal taste. This one is absolutely too salty! Even I added a lot of water in it, it’s still too salty. If it was not so salty, it would be a good meal, but unfortunately it was a bad meal.

I used to truly love this pho shop but my last experience there was just a big bummer. They forgot to include an item in my pickup order ($8 extra broth which is already pricey to begin with) and upon calling said there was no way to refund unless I came back the next day - which my schedule does not allow for. I've been going here for over 7 years and this last pho I ordered was just plain skimped down on. They used to give tons of broth (especially when ordering the large) and a bunch of jalapenos, basil, and sprouts and I think I had maybe 5 basil leaves and 3 slices of jalapenos. Just so bummed to spend $38 on a meal where I didn't get an item and then the remainder that I did get felt on the light side. They used to have great portions and prices but I do not think I will be returning. The staff otherwise is fine, I just am sick and really could have used that broth :/

There was strong unpleasant smell when we walked in. The broth was salty and had weird taste. The eggrolls were good though. Unfortunately it was a disappointing meal.

Haven’t been here in probably 10 or more years. Parking cost $3.00 for one hour. Ordered the Grilled Chicken Banh Mi (sandwich) and Duk Biet (rare beef, tendons, rice noodles). The food was delicious, just a little pricier than other popular Vietnamese restaurants. Also, the Bahn Mi wasn’t thick and full with meat and veggies. Service was good.

Husband ordered me takeout while I’m sick with Covid — veggie pho and crispy spring rolls. The spring rolls ($9 for 3) were inedible, grease-soaked, overcooked, and thrown into a paper bag. They leaked oil (like fr an Unreal amount I don’t understand did they pour it in??) onto everything else, ruining the rest of the food. No napkins or utensils included. There are *so* many places in San Diego with good veggie or pho options and quality control, especially at this price point. Skip this one entirely.

Ordered the grilled pork banh mi -- it was good, but didn't stand out particularly compared to other banh mis I've had. I wish the mayonnaise was seasoned a bit, and that there's a bit more vegetables. But all in all, was a solid sandwich.

Are there yesterday. Food was good, but service kind of lacked. It was hard to get help from staff. What bothers me most though is that I just looked at my bank statements to see that I'm being charged about $7 more than the bill I signed at the restaurant. I'll definitely be going in to complain today.

Frequent mistakes on take-out orders. Wrong or missing items is common when ordering here. The final straw was getting veggies instead of steak with a pho order. I cannot recommend because of the apparent lack of care they put into their orders.

Pho is so good and flavorful. If your looking for pho broth that’s not sweet this is def the spot. Nice peaceful atmosphereI got P11 with a mango and honeydew smoothie. Everything was good and friendly staff. Pho price is 15/17 and smoothies $9
