    Parking lot was not that busy today. Usually it's tough to find parking and the spaces are tight.

    We order the same staples; egg roll appetizers and filet mignon pho. I like their spicy broth too. I came to Yelp to check I had reviewed here as it is rarely full but deserves to be. Perhaps we are lucky with what we order? You can get your lotto tickets here too. They recently upgraded their menu to offer bbq all you can eat and updated their tables to cater for this menu but we haven't tried this yet. Support these guys so they stick around.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    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.

It's disappointing because this used to be one of our go-to family spots. We don't come nearly as often anymore, but every once in a while we'll give it another try hoping things have improved.

It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

The squid was also not edible at all, we could barely chew or bite through it. The chicken was really overcooked and fried so much that the meat was super dry and fibrous. And it's not just this one time. We've noticed the same thing when we've eaten here in person too. The cơm tấm dishes always seem to have an off smell and the rice has been hard and cold. I honestly hate leaving a review like this because this place was such a big part of my childhood and my family has so many memories here.

I don't know what they put in the Vietnamese Green Goddess (probably fish sauce since all the dishes basically had this) but it was magnificent and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Then the Scallops and the Black Cod came out. The Scallops came in a set of 3 and we cut them in half so we could all have a taste. The sauce on this was DIVINE!!! It was citrusy but still really flavorful bursting with umami. I'm literally starting to drool reminiscing about it xD We wanted to keep it to use on other dishes because it was so good. The Black Cod was also delicious. It had fried skin attached and a sesame soy glaze. Next up came the Beef Tartare and the Wagyu Steak. The Beef Tartare was probably the least flavorful out of everything we ordered, but it was still well seasoned. My friend said it was really spicy but it might have just been her bite because I didn't think it was spicy at all. I like that the give you the option of leafy greens or shrimp chips to eat it with. The Wagyu though, was an all-star dish. It was the crowd favorite for sure, we all enjoyed not only the steak but the picked baby eggplants that come with it, and the sauce was phenomenal!! Lastly came the Dry Aged Duck which is what they're known for. It was definitely the biggest fish out of all. You were able to eat the duck with two different sauces, one they called a "Fish Sauce Chimichurri" and "Vietnamese XO sauce" which is more so satay. My friends liked the XO sauce but I liked the Chimichurri better. They had actually forgotten about the side of Buttered Rice but I was told it was incredibly flavorful on its own so we still asked for it. It had more than just butter in it, there was dried shrimp and sesame seeds, and it was made with coconut milk or something because it had a sweet but savory taste to it. I saved some of my duck and Wagyu to eat with it which was actually pretty good. Overall I liked that they brought out the dishes from lightest to heaviest and especially after they brought out out 2 sides of Buttered Rice we were all satisfied and full. It was the perfect amount of food. Honestly EVERY dish was different but amazingly dank and I think it's the fish sauce in everything. They were also sweet and kept the cake we brought in the fridge, placed the candles on it for us, and even after we sang they cut the cake for us!! 10/10 would recommend coming here for not only the food but the impeccable service!! Since we had a larger party there's an automatic 20% gratuity already added to the bill, which came out to be $555! (Look at that angel number!)

    We came here during Restaurant Week which was probably our first mistake. For $75, it just wasn't…read moreenough food. Looking at pictures from other nights, most of our food was half the size or missing some major component. For example, the egg noodles had only a few very thin truffle shavings compared to what I saw online. They also lacked the real truffle flavor. The chocolate dessert was half of its normal size. Overall, everything is extremely overpriced and lacks flavor. The food was so bland across the board and it felt like we were being skimped out not on just the size but the flavor too. We eat a lot of Asian food and the taste wasn't even close to matching our expectations. All the workers were very friendly, but the food came out very slow. They also gave us a printed out menu for our anniversary with our last name on it which was spelled wrong. I don't care about that, just thought it was very funny. The restaurant was smaller than we expected, but we did enjoy the colors, the layout and the overall ambiance. Wouldn't go back!
