This is my go to local spot for a quick bite to eat! Never disappoints me and fresh food every time. MY FAVORITE!! First off, the staff here is so friendly and it's family owned. Always providing amazing recommendation and the service is fast. Second, any item here is delicious. Never had such a unique spot offer spring rolls of any sorts. I love the combo spring roll #1 for only $14 you get a variety of spring rolls and dumplings with a side of soup. Such a good deal! I also love their vermicelli dishes, Banh mi, and pho. If you're looking for a delicious spot in the Hillcrest area, I recommend stopping by for a bite! Food: 10/10 never disappoints, delicious and hearty Service: 10/10 so friendly and fast Parking: 8/10 small parking lot but easy to find spots to park! read more

So many options for spring rolls! Visiting from out town. I love spring rolls so had to try this place. They have combos available. You can use class pass to purchase here. The service was good. They recommended something my boyfriend could have (shellfish & nut allergy). He got the chicken pho I tried shrimp roll, shrimp & Crispy snack roll & beef pho roll. The crispy snack was delightful. Enjoyed the crunch within the roll. Came with 3 sauces- coconut, peanut & another one i dont remember but it was similar to peanut sauce. All tasty You order from the menu at table or you can place to go order at counter. Its smaller space in strip mall. read more

I've always enjoyed this place for their spring rolls and Vietnamese salad bowls, but unfortunately my experience on March 17, 2026 completely changed my opinion. We called ahead and placed a pickup order as we've done before. However, when I got home and started eating my Vietnamese salad, I discovered a bug on one of the shrimp. It was honestly very disappointing and disgusting. That same night, I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. They asked how I wanted to proceed, and since I don't live close by, I politely requested a refund. They agreed to this, but to this day I have not received any refund for the order or any follow-up regarding the situation. Sadly, because of this experience and the lack of resolution, I won't be returning. I hope this review helps other customers moving forward. read more

The location is within a strip mall and parking wasn't too difficult when we went in the morning. Service was minimal. Rolls are popular as their name is literally spring roll. I decided to go with the special vermicelli bowl instead- pork, chicken, grilled shrimp, and egg roll. I didn't care for the fish sauce or the peanut sauce. I would also preferred the meat to have more of a charred flavor. The plate was average, but I was quite hungry and had no problem finishing it. We did order the special goi cuon to go. I didn't know what was special about it until later. There's a fried spring roll inside the fresh spring roll. It wasn't crunchy anymore when we ate it though. read more

Goi Cuon - Special Vermicelli Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Goi Con is that tiny neighborhood spot that operates with the confidence of a national chain that somehow forgot to build the other locations. They've got the swagger of a place that assumes everyone in America is already fully invested in the roll lifestyle. You walk in and they greet you like you're returning to your preferred membership tier. The menu reads like the product catalog of a company that went public on the strength of one idea: roll everything. Summer rolls, spring rolls, egg rolls, pho rolls. They don't present these like innovations. They present them like household staples. Like you've been packing pho rolls in your kids' lunchboxes for years and they're just helping you restock. The pho is solid, the kind of dependable bowl that would absolutely anchor a fast casual chain if they ever decided to expand into airports. But the roll menu is where they flex. It's massive, borderline corporate, like someone in the back is running quarterly R and D on new fillings. Every option feels like a limited time offer you saw advertised during a football game. And because the place is so small, the whole experience feels like you've stumbled into the flagship store of a brand that doesn't exist anywhere else. A little test kitchen disguised as a neighborhood joint. You're not just ordering lunch. You're participating in a soft launch for a lifestyle they assume the rest of the country is already living. read more

The name of the place means spring roll in Vietnamese, and they definitely do them right! It's my go-to place for a quick bite especially when going to the zoo or Balboa Park. Everyone I've recommended the place to absolutely loves it too. I've only sat down and eaten there a couple times, and so far, everything I've sampled was really delicious. Only complaint would be that it's a little more expensive than I'm used to, but it is really good quality and authentic. My favorite thing to get is the sugarcane shrimp with crispy snack spring roll, and I can devour 3-4 of them in one sitting. I love the crunch mixed with the fresh veggies and the flavor of the shrimp. The dipping sauce is super yummy too, and they dont skimp--they give you a whole container per roll. read more

I went back again to try their noodle dishes - Pho Beef Special and Special Vermicelli Bowl. And wow, I was thoroughly impressed by the noodle dishes! The pho was very fragrant even though it was takeout. The broth warmth my soul after I heated it up at home. It wasn't as hearty as other places but was still comforting. The amount of protein was also plentiful. YUM. The only downside (not really a downside) was the type of noodles that were used. They were the thicker noodles that's I didn't care for as I prefer the thinner ones. The vermicelli bowl was beautifully prepared. It came with two sauces: one peanut and one fish sauce. The only downside was the shrimp! They were quite small. But overall, the entirety of the dish was delicious! I do think the next time I visit, I would mix and match with the different items the restaurant offers rather than sticking to one specific item such as only the Combos or just the soups. The variety really gives a better experience! read more

This is definitely my go-to spot for fried egg banh mi! Must admit it's been a while since I've tried their pho, but their spring rolls are definitely on point. I will usually get a side of beef broth with my egg banh mi and if that's an indication of their pho it's gotta be good. My favorite thing about the banh mi that I get are the crispy fried garlic pieces they put on top of the egg. Service is solid, nothing over-the-top but never ever rude. Food always comes out pretty fast and it's always good. The place itself has plenty of seating, I've never been there and had trouble finding a seat. The tables are always very clean and the counter where the food is served is also always spotless. Parking on the other hand is a completely different beast -just be flexible in where you park and be ready to walk a few minutes if there's no parking in the lot. Solid spot! read more

Goi Cuon is delicious, authentic Vietnamese food! I've had combo 1 many times, the spring rolls are crazy good as are the fried items.

You can park in the lot for free and I haven't had any issue. I highly recommend Goi Cuon, support a local business by checking them out! read more

I was on my way back to LA after visiting San Diego for a conference, and I needed somewhere to grab dinner before I hit the road. I was craving Vietnamese food; I find it to be light and "clean," which makes it ideal as a pre-travel meal. In I went. It's not a huge place, but it's comfortable and welcoming. I'm a sucker for a good vermicelli bowl, and theirs, while technically on a plate, ticked that box for sure. I opted for the special bowl, which came with an egg roll, grilled pork and shrimp. It came out fairly speedily, and everything was nicely cooked--loved the pork and the egg roll in particular. It was an extremely satisfying dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and they were nice enough to let me fill up my water bottle prior to the trip. If I were back in San Diego, I'd be happy to dine here again. read more

I always come here for the pho both dining in and to go. They are consistent with their service, quality of food and most of all their service. They are very hands on and takes care of you and your order, the place is very accommodating, chill and what I like most is it is very clean. read more

Pros: - Spring rolls were good in size. Great ingredients and great combo options. The fried tofu in my combo was silky soft, meaning that they made it fresh. Combos come with black or green tea (unsweetened). - No wait on a weekend in the afternoon. - Place also sells typical Vietnamese street snacks, etc. I love the fact that there's a window to look into the kitchen to see them making the food. - Clean environment and efficient service. We love the mom-and-pop shop type of feel. Cons: - Parking might be hard since the lot is small, but we came during the weekend and found parking just fine. For $14, you get 2 different kinds of spring roll, a little appetizer, a side and small soup with tea. The meal was light and refreshing, but kept me happily full. Tip: get the coconut sauce dip. I have no clue what's in there, but give me a whole bottle of it. It compliments spring rolls with protein like pork or beef really well. read more

Wow. Just wow. This Pho spot is probably in my best 3, that I have ever tried. We were seated right away, and they took our order within 5 minutes. The food did not take that long to come out, 5 minutes tops. The Pho was amazing! Beef broth was very rich in flavor. I got the S2 filet mignon (no onion and no chives) $18 (I like to add a bunch of chili to mine, I added racha and chili oil + jalapeños) My husband got the S1 Pho Beef Special - this had a combination of slices of rare beef, fatty brisket, lean brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe. $17 We also got two kids pho and those were $5 each. We also got the P4 - Pho Grilled Beef Roll Everything was DELICIOUS. The one thing I would say is that the noodles were a little too overcooked for my tasting but not enough to knock out stars. Small but has indoor seating, nice place and not too noisy inside. My husband said it's been the best Pho he's had in a long time. Would definitely make the drive from LA down to SD for this again. (We were in town for San Diego Comic Con) Overall definitely recommend! read more

Pretty pho-king good! Nice and fresh. Love the fresh basil. The pho came out piping hot and the egg roll apps were ready eat right away not burn your mouth hot like most places so I could eat my apps while the pho cooled. Which was nice surprise. Hehe. VEGAN! Woo hoo! read more

I have not yet tried ngoc but these are the best spring rolls you're going to get in San Diego.

This is retrospective review, I ordered food here almost every day for around a year in 2022-2023. Since then, I have lived in three different cities and eaten spring rolls and dozens of different restaurants. No where comes even close to these spring rolls. If you currently live in san diego, enjoy this place as much as you can because you won't find better. Miss this place everyday. read more

Was in a hurry as it was raining outside and I put in a large order to try many different items. The Pho roll's were both amazing! The Goi Cuon fresh spring rolls were all so succulent, especially the avocado shrimp, grilled chicken, grilled beef, grilled pork, and the omelet fresh spring rolls. I ordered so many to-go items. The fish sauce, coconut cream, and peanut sauce went well with all of the rolls. Very first time having coconut cream as a dipping sauce. :-) Great customer service and for sure will be coming back. read more

It was raining in San Diego so you know what that means - pho time! I was in the area and needed my pho fix so I decided to try Goi Cuon for the first time. The parking lot is tight but it's free so that was great. I found a spot right away and made my way inside. The restaurant gives off good vibes and it was busy for a weekday lunch hour. I ordered at the cashier and sat down at a table. I tried their rare steak pho and the broth was incredibly savory and steaming hot - just the way I like it! It costs $17 which is a little steep but for the size of the bowl was a good value. Their Thai tea was exceptionally creamy and sweet and the perfect balance to my rainy-day pho. I would highly recommend you check them out next time you're in Hilcrest for their great service and delicious food! read more

I am a huge Pho lover and have been meaning to come here. I only had time to place a to-go order. Their food was ready quickly! I ordered the veggie Pho with chicken broth base and a fresh lemonade. I got home and saw that everything was packed well. I ordered extra limes and they were included, yay! The lemonade was so fresh with just the right sugary sweetness. And the pho... oh man, the flavor was outstanding! The broth was a rich chicken soup flavor, the veggies were super fresh and the vegan ham & fried tofu were so well seasoned. I mean, I truly think their pho was one of the best I've had. I'll be back to try their sandwiches and their fresh AND fried rolls! I cannot wait. read more

Full disclosure Vietnamese food is not my favorite food in the world but I like it well enough. Visiting my friend in SD, she's a huge fan of this place and definitely was willing to give them a shot. I had the COMBO #2: - Grilled Beef Pho Roll - Vietnamese Sausage Pork & Crispy Snack Spring Roll - Shrimp Egg Roll - Chicken Dumpling - Crispy tofu - Vegan Soup - Hot/Cold Jasmine Tea (non-sweet) All three rolls were delicious, the chicken dumpling was good, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the vegan options on my plate, and I went with iced tea. Inside of the restaurant was small but very homey and definitely had a very intimate and local's vibe. Service was fine, not bad but nothing to write home about. Love the welcoming they are making clear that this Hillcrest business is welcoming of the lgbt+ community. I know, not difficult to do in the neighborhood but it's appreciated nonetheless. Definitely see myself returning as it's good and close to my friend's place. read more

Loved the vegan pho with assorted veggies here on a recent visit. Husband enjoyed their pho as well. Meats were soft and tender to him. Both broths were flavorful as well. It's rare to find a place with vegan pho that tastes so good! We will definitely be back when in the area again. Fast and friendly service as well. read more

Came here with friends after seeing the holiday lights at the zoo. We ordered pho, Thai tea and their specialities (spring and other such rolls), such as fried pork roll and one of their tofu pho rolls. The pho was good, but overall, per my friend who tried it, their pho roll was very good. I'd come again just to try the pho rolls! read more

Really good assortment of Vietnamese fare, and very decent prices. Stopped in for dinner recently, ordering up a variety of items: --fried pork egg rolls --fried shrimp egg rolls --fried vegan eggrolls --shrimp crepes roll --shrimp spring roll --pho shrimp Egg rolls were really good. Tasty, crispy, and super hot when they were delivered to our table. Let them cool off for a bit before chowing down, because you will surely burn your tongue. Spring rolls were not the best we've had, but they weren't bad. Pho was super. Yummy, tasty broth, packed with noodles and delicious shrimp. Side of bean sprouts and Thai basil provided - not a bean sprout lover, and Thai basil, no matter how much spice I like, is still a bit too potent for me. Glad they included it for those that love it, but I'm especially glad they gave me the option. Jasmine tea was also ordered and very refreshing. Great pricing and prompt, friendly service. A somewhat meagerly decorated interior, but we weren't looking for anything fancy - we just wanted good food. And that is what we got. For those wanting take out, this spot does a hopping take-out business. Orders were well organized and when customers came in, they were all ready to go. An efficient operation on that front. read more

Goi Cuon is known for their spring rolls, and they deliver! I really like #8 of the spring rolls, which is the Vietnamese Sausage Pork and crispy snack. The peanut dipping sauce is so so good and I feel like I could just drink it. Prices are good and I can get pretty full off of just 2-3 rolls. I haven't really tried many of their other menu items so I can't really say anything about it. Parking can be pretty tight, but I've always found a spot in their lot. read more

Stopped in for bbq pork bánh mì, loved the decor and clean layout of the restaurant. A huge glass window separated the dining area from the kitchen so you can see your food getting made. Service was swift yet warm and welcoming. The bbq pork bánh mì was excellent, 10/10 on everything I look for: baguette had a perfect crackle, house made Asian mayonnaise, a proper crunch from the veggies and real bbq pork with just the right amount of fat left in. Best I've had outside of little Saigon. The spring rolls and pho rolls are excellent! read more

My go-to spot for ordering spring rolls, there are so many different options. Unlike other places that stuff it full of bean sprouts and lettuce to fill it up, goi cuon actually uses tons of rice noodles and protein so it feels like you are getting more value out of it. Their peanut sauce is really good, and everything is seasoned well. You can get the classic tofu, or shrimp spring rolls, but they also have beef and chicken and pork. It's incredible and a great and healthy lunch option. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a few months now and was pleasantly surprised it was on my way to therapy. Greeted twice, once by the automated door sensory and then by the cashier. Definitely cozy spot for some classic Vietnamese goods. The diversity in Spring Roll action is what drew me in. With all the options it took me a bit to decide. Love that they offer combo meals. Decided on Combo #2 To Go, little bit of some of the things I wanted to try. Overall very fresh tasting. Was not prepared for the avocado in the Pho Roll. I love veggies but would of appreciated a little more protein and sauce. But great value deal. I suggest raising the price and adding more meat. read more

I got this delivered and it was so good I had to come leave a review! So fresh and delicious!

The servers were very friendly. The food was good! The goi cuon summer roll was a deep fried spring roll wrapped in a summer roll. It was served with a miso peanut sauce that had sesame seeds and shredded carrots which was different but still good. The pho broth was good. They had all the condiments to adjust the broth as you want. read more

What in the world are all these spring rolls? Strawberry spring rolls? Pho rolls? These are so weird! Let's go! I'd love to try them! Were my first impressions when I saw their menu. It's funny because my Vietnamese bf said he felt offended by these roll variations, that we had to try them. My Vietnamese friend also said the same when I showed her their menu. But I've seen strawberry in salads or Thai som tum before, and I love to try weird food combinations, so Goi Cuon was a perfect stop. We ordered Combo #1 and #2 plus an Avocado & Strawberry Spring Roll. This part of the menu is confusing me. I assume the Special GOI CUON is the Shrimp Crispy Vietnamese Crepes Roll in Combo #1. But then the crispy stuff in the spring roll is not the deep friend crepe roll, it's the small crushed bits VS. in Combo #2, Vietnamese Sausage Pork & Crispy Snack is the deep fried roll... so I think the name of these two crispy stuffs should be swapped? Anyways, I love the assumed, Special GOI CUON. It's my favorite of all the rolls we tried. Pho roll was pretty good too, but noted that it didn't taste anything like a pho bowl. The peanut dipping sauce was really good. I'm not sure what to do with the coconut cream. It was really weird and felt like it didn't belong to any of the rolls... Since the peanut sauce was really good, we finished them quick. The waiter noticed that and gave us an extra one without us even have to ask for more! So nice! @tableformin read more

After years of not ordering from Goi Cuon, we decided to give it another try--but unfortunately, it was a letdown. My husband went in when the restaurant was nearly empty (only one other customer), so there was no excuse for mistakes. He ordered two combo meals, Combo 1 & Combo 2, and an extra roll which were clearly listed on the receipt. However, when he got home, we found that the box for Combo 2 only had vegetarian rolls, which was not what we ordered. To top it off, my husband even tipped $5 on a to-go order--for what? There were four other employees standing around doing nothing, yet they still managed to get a simple order wrong. It's frustrating when you support a business again after years, only to be disappointed. Attention to detail and customer service matter, especially when the restaurant isn't even busy. Sadly, this experience didn't make us want to come back anytime soon. read more

My bf and I are visiting from out of town and I had a feeling this spot might be fire! The rolls especially, did not disappoint! Combo #2 rolls - has a little bit of everything and omg everything was so good!!! The sauces matched perfectly to the rolls to be dipped in. (If you don't know which goes with what just ask them. I had to do that so I can get the correct experience.) Rolls are made freshed and with chefs kiss. *THE COCONUT SAUCE IS A MUST ORDER! Yum* Pho beef special was good. Definitely helped with my pho craving. Price is resonable for the amount of food portion sizes. My bf and I shared these 2 items. Service was nice! You order at the window and they'll bring the food out. The place was clean and well kept. Definitely would come back for the rolls and the coconut sauce! Cons: Parking very small structure. read more

Not terrible but not awesome. The rolls are made fresh and filled with crisp vegetables, noodles, and your protein of choice. The dipping sauces are weird- i wish they would just give you the classic sauces normally paired with each type of roll. The coconut butter was bad - sweet and savory is a weird way. Portion sizes are small - i had to order 2 entrees to get full. Pho is ok - the broth was a little on the sweet side - but the noodles were fresh and the slices of beef were excellent. read more
