Review Pho Hoa - La Jolla

My husband took me here 12 years ago and today is my 2nd time to come here. Everything look the same and they still only accept cash the only difference is now they have ATM inside. Food are delicious and affordable.

I've been coming here ever since the days I was in college. They serve such authentic pho here and the soup is always so flavorful. They give you a good amount of meat here compared to other places. I like the special number one because it has a good variety of meats and different proteins. I also like the pork and shrimp spring rolls here, all the ingredients is delicious and fresh. I tried to come here at least every other month because it brings back the nostalgia of college. The staff here is also very nice and sweet. They always say hi to you and ask if you need anything else. The parking here is no issue at all because it's a big parking lot and there's parking everywhere.

This place was on a list of must try Pho restaurants. The broth was flavorful and the amount of meat/seafood included was generous. The waiters were very nice and refilled out waters each time it went down from full. As far as pricing, it was in the ballpark of other places but the spring rolls were absolutely ridiculous. Spring rolls are more than the Pho. Doesn't make sense in my opinion as an appetizer. Overall it was decent but not great. The pricing of dishes needs to be reviewed. Doesn't make sense that apps can be more than main dishes. Also, this place is CASH ONLY so it can be a bit of an inconvenience if you don't have cash or a debit card.

After all these years, this place is still the best. My family and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember (I want to say 20+ years now). The broth is very flavorful and the staff are kind and courteous. Service is quick. Noodles are the thinner kind, which I prefer.

Pretty good! They are cash only, keep that in mind.

I’m a pho addict, I travel all around the country always looking for the best pho available. In San Diego, this place is the best! This place is not concerned about the decor, just great service, fantastic broth, perfect noodle and consistent flavor. If you run into a language barrier just slow down these folks are very patient and eager to accommodate. A great place on a chilly San Diego morning for Pho Tai and a sweet Vietnamese coffee, they open early every morning. Not a first date place but a great place to takes your best friend at least once a week. Expert tip: If you like your Tai(sliced filet) rare then ask for it on the side and cook it in the pho broth as you go!

Great portions of meat to noodle Pho, fast service, and quiet eating-just the way I like it. This is a no frills ma/pa place with great prices!. CASH ONLY!!

Definitely the best vietnamese restaurant in San Diego. I’ve been to several places offering pho, and I loved this restaurant the most. It is super tasty with a lot of meat in it, and priced very reasonable. Also their eggrolls are so crispy!

Some of the best Pho I’ve had honestly. I only get Rare steak (Basic I know) but it tastes amazing and service is fast. Cash only but they do have an ATM inside!

One of my favorite places for lunch. Food is good . Real Vietnamese friend took me here. Must be good .

Ben Browne

It is CASH only. Not a big deal, but it is something to note. The owners are great, humble people who are friendly and welcoming….and serve a damn good bowl of pho!

David Luce

Small bowl of pho and small order of spring rolls was $23. Food was good, didn't skimp on the noodles.

Reviews don't lie. Just stopped by and tried house special pho and this shrimp dry noodle. They are amazing.

been coming here since i moved to San Diego. it's a no-frills pho place and accepts cash only. i kinda noticed that the Large bowl is not the same size as before. it used to be bigger.
