Stopped by on Saturday afternoon to pick up lunch to-go. I ordered filet mignon pho and shrimp rice paper wraps. Everything was tasty, and the best part was the food was ready in 10 minutes which was perfect since I was on a time constraint!

Land n Sea Vermicelli Noodle Salad
Ace D.

Mignon Pho & Grill is a solid spot in Kearny Mesa for fresh and flavorful Vietnamese dishes. I went with the vermicelli shrimp, and it was light, well-balanced, and packed with fresh ingredients--the shrimp was cooked perfectly and paired really well with the noodles and veggies. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt clean and casual. It's a great option for a quick, satisfying meal, especially if you're looking for something fresh and not too heavy.

To preface, I came here with a party of 8. Everything went well when we ordered, the server took all of our orders and brought us waters to drink. The problem was it took forever for them to bring out our food. There were other large parties (of 5-8) that came after us who got their food before we did. It took quite a while for everyone at my table to get their order. Otherwise, the food was great. The pho was nice and warm, noodles cooked well, and broth flavorful. Food alone, it was very tasty, I honestly enjoyed it a lot. My final thoughts, even though I didn't have the best experience with service, the food was still good. Honestly I think it was the fact my party was so big that I encountered these issues. Otherwise I think your experience here would be much more pleasant.

All You Can Drink (Upcharge from AYCE)
Long P.

My partner and I came here relatively late on a Wednesday evening because most other places were either closed or full due to the Lunar New Year. Generally speaking, our opinion of the place is that their BBQ AYCE is very average. The staff are super nice, accommodating, and attentive on our visit, so no issues there! Let's start with the bad thing about their BBQ AYCE, which is their Mini Pho (which means I have little hopes about their mini soups). Frankly the broth didn't taste as complex as most good Pho I have had, but hopefully this isn't a reflection of their normal Pho. Definitely would skip the Mini Pho for the AYCE though. Another note is that their Garlic Edamame is just Edamame with some crushed garlic on top, they didn't stir fry it in garlic or really even cook just the garlic itself... the edamame was good, but not really what we expected for garlic edamame. Another low for our experience was the dipping options offered. The Yakiniku sauce definitely tasted like a mass-produced sauce from a bottle, far too sweet and didn't necessarily go well with the meat either. The Sweet Fish Sauce I was hoping would be a highlight since it's a vietnamese restaurant, but it was far too bland and honestly tasted like it had too much water added, maybe to appeal to a larger crowd? But sadly I would say their fish sauce option is the worst option what we tried. The Mam Nem we opted not to try because I personally don't enjoy it regularly and my partner definitely wouldn't have knowing her tastes. Finally, the spicy powder wasn't great either because it didn't really have a taste other than spicy, so don't expect a Mala Dipping Powder here sadly, though it did enhance the other sauces when you add it to them so it definitely did work as a flavor booster. Personally I just grabbed the Sriracha and Hoisin sauce on the table and enjoyed the meat with a mixture of those (would've been perfect if they had lime wedges offered). Onto the BBQ itself, the New York steak seems to be their only "steaky" option in that you receive a chunk of meat to sear. Nothing really to write home about here, it was neither bad quality nor outstanding quality. Filet Mignon Steak was cut into small thin strips which is pretty common for this sort of thing. I personally tasted something a bit off about it when eaten without condiments, my partner however seemed to like it. I will say it was tender like filet mignon, but at the same time slicing it thinly is meant to counteract any chewiness anyways. Again, neither great nor terrible. I do think this was the only cut that you definitely needed a sauce to eat with. Ribeye Steak/Marinated Ribeye so I'm not sure why they list both of these on the menu because when I ordered them both, they just gave me 2x the marinated ribeye which is cut relatively thinly (like maybe 0.25 Inch?) and marinated in a sweet sauce. Overall tasted good, but ended up eating more of this than intended because I thought I'd be receiving 2 different meats. I will say at least you don't need a dipping sauce o enjoy this cut at least. Marinated Short Rib is was my favorite cut. Crosswise cut Short Ribs that have been marinated in a sweet sauce. Definitely would recommend and you don't need a dipping sauce to enjoy these at all. American Wagyu Brisket was enjoyable to me. It definitely looked and tasted marbled. They don't seem to trim the fat cap though so if you don't like having a large chunk of fat on the end, like my partner, you may not like this cut. American Wagyu Chuck Roll was also enjoyable, nicely marbled and tasted great. My partner enjoyed the Pineapple although it was cut into small matchsticks strangely. Their Broccoli was steamed which bother my partner and I felt was ok, but honestly we would have enjoyed just raw Broccoli to eat raw or grill better. Other than that we tried their Gyoza which I'd say is a bit lower quality than most places we've tried, but still decently good. Difficult to make crispy gyoza skin + a filling that is at least mediocre bad. Not sure I'd recommend this, but I wouldn't recommend against it either. Overall I think the AYCE BBQ pricing is at least fair considering they're offering American Wagyu options as well as Short Rib, so the price tag feels on par with other places. Overall, I'd like to see a more vietnamese style BBQ succeed, but as is I think I might end up here every now and then, though I wouldn't necessarily end up here on a craving nor have it be my first choice. I didn't feel like any of their dipping options was particularly great for the BBQ and is definitely a point they could improve on, I suggest maybe offering Mala Dipping Powder, Lime Wedges, and maybe a more traditional Fish sauce (like make their sweet one less watered down and offer a more savory one like the Jeow Som equivalent).

Cow Ate My Shrimp Rice Plate
Adrian A.

We had: Beef and Shrimp Rice Plate upgraded to fried rice and fried egg Pork Chop and Rice Plate upgraded to fried rice and fried egg Egg Rolls Both the beef and pork were tough not tender. It was definitely a jaw exercise chewing. Vietnamese restaurants are known for flavor with so many seasonings bountiful. But these meats had no marinade. We were expecting lemongrass, garlic, and fish sauce, but there wasn't even salt and pepper. The fried rice was also bland and had no smoky flavor. The egg was fried perfectly Asian style with crispy edges, fully set whites, no raw spots with silky runny yolk. Most of all it was not greasy. The egg rolls are four stars. A lot of wrapper and too little filling. With regard to accessibility, there are very few disabled spots. The regular spaces are tight and you'll likely bump into a car getting out and even more difficult if you have a wheelchair or accessibility scooter. This complex has a lot of other restaurants and the Nijiya grocery store so it gets really packed.

Food was great, fast service. Interior was clean and ambiance feels like it's the spot to be on the weekends with a long bar and lots of drink options. A few claw machines to keep the kids entertained. Menu had plenty to choose from, including kid options.

Hue - Beef cut Pho
Colin H.

Food was awesome. Got the Hue Pho and a lemon drop. Only criticism is that the service was rather slow . Besides that I highly recommend.

Crispy Crepe aka Bun Xeo
Mylan E.

We walked in at about 5pm on a Thursday. It wasn't busy - about 3 tables occupied with a few more tables filled as we sat. We were greeted and seated right away, anywhere we'd like. Music was playing that wasn't overly loud along with TVs on - on mute. We were serviced shortly after seating. They provided great customer service. Everyone we encountered was patient and friendly. Food we had: Bun Xeo (vegetarian with fried tofu) - the crepe itself was good and crisp however the sauce was more soy sauce based rather than the traditional fish sauce base. Shaken beef - meat was tender and flavorful. Salad was super fresh! Shrimp spring roll - the roll itself was soft and fresh however I'd prefer more veggies rather than packing it with noodles. Also, the peanut sauce was a bit too plain, for my liking. I had to add sate in every bite. Overall, food didn't taste traditional, definitely didn't beat my Mom's cooking, but I get it, I didn't go there for my Mom's cooking! Our dishes were decent, for an "American" version, if you will. I'll have to try a bowl of pho next time.

Short rib pho.
Ryan M.

I'm not really a fan of Pho in general, but a friend wanted Pho so I suggested this place because I think its a modern take on pho. So its not your traditional pho but has more modern options that a normal pho place. We started with an order of egg rolls, they were crispy and delicious. I normally don't like the dipping sauce at traditional Vietnamese places because its very fish sauce heavy, but since I didn't get a strong fish sauce smell I gave it a small dip; Not bad no strong fish sauce taste! Thats a huge plus for me! I just ate my egg rolls with sriracha though. For my entree, I was trying to decide between the short rib pho, ox tail pho and ox tail bun bo hue. I asked the waiter his opinion he suggested the short rib pho. When it came out, I was so surprised! I can see why he suggested it, it was a whole beef rib! The rib meat had been braised and was very tender and meaty. Yes the prices are a bit higher than your traditional pho place but they have more updated modern offerings. So don't go there and get the regular pho that you would at your normal pho shop, that's not why you come here. I forget what my friend ordered, some more traditional type of pho, he said it was very clean and tasty. It's in the same parking lot as Nijiya, Okan and Karami ramen so theres a large parking lot but some of the spaces are really tight, so if you can find one with adequate space take it, or park on the street for more stress free parking. Service was good, the waiter gave a great suggestion and refilled waters in a timely manner. There were only 1 or 2 servers but it wasn't too crowded. I recommend this place if you want to try Pho 2.0

Chicken pho/ shrimp spring rolls

This place hits the spot EVERY time!!! Everything is fresh. From the spring rolls rice paper, to the pho noodles. & the damn the broth is just peak! So delicious absolutely recommend. Beautiful interior too. I love a nice place I can enjoy a nice meal. Thank you guys for keeping it fresh & friendly :)

Inside area
Samantha G.

Came here for dinner after work and we ordered spring rolls, bun do hue beef cut, and chicken pho. The broth from both soup was delicious. It wasn't too spicy but had a lot of beef cuts inside. I like that they give a generous amount of cabbage and bean sprouts. The service was quick but waited awhile for the check. There is a lot of seating inside and outside. It is located in a shopping plaza and there is plenty of parking.

I see from the photos there are a few tv's inside. I know it is NOT a sports bar, but is it an ok place to bring a small group and have lunch and some drinks and watch a football game this sunday?

Yes it is a good enough spot to watch a game. They got some flat screens and comfortable spacing to watch a game. I am not sure if the TVs have sound though.

Atmosphere and ambiance were nice and trendy. Service was great and she made some excellent suggestions for our meal. Nothing seemed to have changed. The food was pretty good, save for a few detractors. The clam chowder wasn't the hit it was previously. Not sure what changed. It was delicious but not the highlight we recalled. Those biscuits are not the same product as before. They were definitely downsized and less tasty causing some regret for ordering them. They seemed like inferior quality ingredients had invaded. And they say they pride themselves on their taste. Their lobster roll was too greasy with pools of buttery oil and wife didn't like it. I didn't even finish it for her. On a lark, I ordered half a dozen raw oysters from the happy hour menu. The taste was good. Texture was good. The shells were very gritty. My wife had two and I ate four. A few hours later we were flushing their two stars down the toilet. We both had GI issues and it smelled of those oysters! Had to go to urgent care and get some Ciprofloxacin and a month later I am still not the same. I will NOT recommend this place for a nice dinner any longer.

Honestly, they are the only reason I'm even giving one star, and they were the best part of the whole night. Our hostess walked us over, handed us black napkins so we wouldn't ruin our nice clothes since we were dressed up for my boyfriend's birthday, and when she found out we were celebrating, she even brought over a little birthday card. Unfortunately, everything went downhill as soon as our server took over. When he came by, we asked for a couple extra minutes to look at the menu, and that set the tone for the rest of the night. He didn't explain anything on the menu or offer any guidance. What made it really frustrating was watching him interact with the tables right in front of and behind us. He was super attentive with them, making small talk, walking them through the menu, and giving them great service. Meanwhile, we were practically invisible. Our initial drinks took forever to come out, and even though we just ordered sodas, he rarely checked back in. We only managed to get a single refill the entire hour and a half we were there. The food was just as disappointing. We started with the fried calamari, which was mediocre at best and had bland sauces. For mains, my boyfriend got a steak with a lobster tail and an extra side of mashed potatoes. Honestly, the mashed potatoes were the best thing we ate, which really isn't saying much for a high-end spot. His steak was bland and chewy, and the lobster was flavorless and overcooked. I ordered the cioppino, which fell completely flat. The crab was overcooked, and there barely felt like any seafood in it, including the shrimp. To top it off, despite the hostesses knowing it was his birthday, there was zero acknowledgment at the table. No small dessert, no pastry, not even a photo, and the waiter didn't even bother offering us a dessert menu before handing us the check. What hurts is that I've been to the Water Grill in Santa Monica before and had such a fantastic experience, so I had high expectations. We ended up spending around $300 for two people, and for an à la carte menu at that price point, the quality and service were nowhere near where they should be. Having eaten at all kinds of places, including Michelin star restaurants, I expect way better treatment when spending that kind of money. Honestly, I've had better service at McDonald's. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have left a standard tip, but I did out of basic courtesy. I just wish our server had shown us that same courtesy. It was deeply disappointing and completely ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner.

I hate when clam chowder tastes more like potato chowder with a few pieces of clam thrown in, but you could actually taste the clams here! We also got the wings, which, in hindsight, was on us for ordering wings at a seafood spot. They were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The lobster roll, however, was what we came for, and it did not disappoint! It was PACKED with meaty lobster and quality butter, making it well worth the visit. The fries were also fresh and made in-house, and they were perfect dipped in malt vinegar. Pete's is my go-to when I'm craving fresh seafood without breaking the bank. Great portions, reasonable prices, and a satisfying lobster roll make this spot worth coming back to!
