Pho Duyen Mai

Best Pho in Kearny Mesa!! You can smell the Pho as soon as you enter the restaurant! Plenty of parking spots but at a certain time this Center can be very busy and hard to find a parking spot open. I recommend their Signature Pho then ask for a beef bone (picture), it’s delicious. Also all of their Rice meals with BBQ Pork, or BBQ Beef are also worth the try. Overall, this is the place I will stop by every timeI find myself pass by Kearny Mesa!

One of the best spots in San Diego for authentic Vietnamese food! When you enter, it’s loud and busy, so you know it’s going to be good. Service is fast, you get all of your food out at the same time relatively quickly. The guy taking my order didn’t even have to write anything down and he took other tables orders after too 😂 We ordered calamari appetizer, bun thit nuong and egg roll, bun rieu, broken rice, and seafood pho. Everything was great!! Loved the calamari, I would recommend the bun thit nuong and egg rolls, the egg rolls are very filling! All of the portions are big and decent pricing, mostly under $15 each. Other tips: If you google maps, it’ll take you to the back parking lot, so come around to park at the front. The parking lot is free. Also, after eating, you pay at the counter, and they accept credit cards.

My friends and I desperately wanted soup because it was frankly cold outside. We came here on a recommendation from our friends. What I ordered: - #3 Bun Rieu aka Rive Vermicelli with Shrimp and Crab Paste. I really enjoyed it. The soup was hot, the broth was well seasoned and delicious. The noodle was cooked perfectly and the meat ball was chewy and yummy. it tasted like my mother used to make it. 100/10, delicious! - Beef Pho, I ordered the well done beef. I don't recall the number order on the menu but it was appetizing. I ordered the small and it was still fulfilling. The broth was delicious and so was the noodles. - Lychee Smoothie, yummy! it was 100% a calpico lychee blended with ice into the smoothie. i'd know a calpico taste and smell from anywhere. it was cold and refreshing after a hot soup. overall, i can't recommend this place enough. good food, good price and supporting a family business!

For pho in the Kearny/Clairemont Mesa area, I usually go to Phở Duyên Mai. Nothing fancy about the place. Just good food and quick service. Ordered the usual: pho tai, cha gio, iced coffee (not pictured), and a side of sate sauce. For what I look for in a pho broth, they hit all the right notes: clean and not fatty, balance of beefiness and spices, and slightly tart. I'll be back again soon.

I’ve never had a favorite pho restaurant before, but Pho Duyen Mai changed the game. 5/5 stars for everything! At first glance on a Sunday evening, the restaurant was packed and I was slightly bummed that there may be a long wait. To my surprise, myself and the three parties before me got seated in under a five minute wait. The menu and restaurant were both so manicured. The service was efficient. I ordered a large #23 House Special and a Thai tea. Both items were delicious and served in a good portion. Can you believe a large is just $1 more? Restroom is also rated high on a cleanliness scale and even smelled rather delightful. Overall, I highly recommend Pho Duyen Mai for its exceptional service, cleanliness, and food quality.

It's loud. Extremely loud when busy. But that usually means the food is great! They might have the best salt and pepper chicken wings of any Pho restaurant! Perfectly crispy and tender. The Pho broth is definitely a 5/5, I didn't needed to add much to flavor it up. Prices are moderate for the service. I highly recommend.
