Without a doubt the best pho in San Diego. Get the #1 with the chili oil. Service is fast and the soup gets out to you within minutes of ordering. Servers are focused on turning tables which is totally fine considering they are serving the broth of the gods! So eat fast and tip fat! Parking is limited during peak hours and street parking around the area is usually congested.

Still the best and most Authentic Pho in San Diego. Brings back old memories and home style feel.

I got in and the server was standing at the door, there were plenty of people and plenty of open tables. I sat at a 6seat table with my girlfriend and we were given two menus. It was likes two pages. One was all the different variations of pho, one was drinks. We each order a large bowl and water. Our server noted them and we received accoutrement and the bowls in like 5 minutes. I got the number one with everything and it was delicious. My girlfriend got a number twelve and it was also delicious. I added basil and lime later, she only added basil for so long, then lime and Sriracha later. It was so good we didn't really need anything besides the pure soup. I ate my entire bowl in like another 10m. That Nevers happens. I paid at the desk and got a to go for my girlfriend. It came out to like $30. Beautiful experience 10/10, would recommend. If anyone rates this lower for service, just know they have their priorities in the wrong place.

This is an OG no-frills spot for great Pho. The restaurant doesn't offer much else other than the Pho you're looking for but it's worth the trip for the great soup and noodles. We picked up to-go after ordering right in the restaurant and it only took about 10 minutes to get our food and get out. The service was super friendly and although our server struggled a bit with his English we were able to get exactly what we wanted and he was great. Definitely recommended for quick, delicious Pho.

One of the best pho i ever had. They only sell pho. That's how you know this place is legit.

Best pho in town! I do wish they had slightly later hours, and I wish they'd come around to refill water much more often ( I drink a lot of water and their cups are tiny, usually by the time I'm done with my meal my water cup has been empty for 15+ mins), or set up a self serve refill station. Regardless, it is hands-down the best pho broth in town. Highly recommend you occasionally get your bowl with some nuoc beo on the side. Keep in mind you can order small, medium, or large bowls!

Mediocre Comfort food, nothing stunning. Problematic hygiene situation, with flies flying around. Beware of limited parking, this is in the middle of downtown. Overall, this restaurant is worth 15 minutes driving, if you live more than 30min away, don’t bother come all the way here just for the food.

Darn good pho and service! I took myself out to this restaurant around 1pm on a Saturday. I was seated, ordered, and served very promptly. I order a number 2 pho with extra beef tendon and an iced coffee. It hit the spot! The iced coffee is definitely strong, not for those who are sensitive to the taste and effects of coffee. The total bill came out to $22, which is a little expensive for one person. However, it is so worth it, especially if you don't go out to eat pho very often. The quality is fantastic. I did not at all feel rushed or stared at by the servers.

I have been to many pho places and nothing compares to their soup. the broth is clean and savory flavor. they give generous portions of meat. it just suck that I have to fly to San Diego just to enjoy this place. shared it with my wife, she said it was so good she didn't even need to add anything to it... unfortunately, I think I ruined pho for her, she will not eat at any other pho place anymore 😕

Honestly, the pho was awesome and the service was fast and friendly. There was also plenty of parking. My only very minor complaint was that the men's restroom smelled a bit. Overall, it's a great place for authentic Vietnamese pho.
