I like most pho places, I love that PB Pho & Grill clearly labels their vegan option! The Vegan Pho, #12B, is made in veggie broth with rice noodles, tofu, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. The employees are nice, and the restaurant is always kept tidy. Most of the time I order to go and the food is always ready when I go to pick it up. Even when I get it delivered, it's still pretty hot! read more

PB Pho & Grill - 12B. Vegan Pho with Veggies Broth - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I was craving Pho, but when I saw the menu I pivoted to special #27: vermicelli noodles, beef, veggies, and egg rolls. The beef was delicious and tender and the vegetables were extremely fresh. My friend had a tofu banh mi, which he also enjoyed. Service was a little slow, but we enjoyed not being rushed to finish our meal. The location is walkable to the beach and the tables were clean and comfortable. read more

PB Pho & Grill - #27. Egg Rolls and Grilled Beef Rice Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Good food with generous portions! But service could be better My family of 8 came right at opening on a Sunday morning. For a while, we were the only party in the restaurant. My family and I ordered a variety of things (pho, spring rolls, eggs rolls) and I ordered number 29 grilled pork with vermicelli. Our service was a bit slow considering we were the only ones there for a while. The server was nice, but didn't check up on us much. Additionally, he accidentally spilled some pho broth when he was serving us (which totally happens!) but he ended up leaving the puddle there and we were scared someone would slip on it. The food was pretty tasty and was quite a large portion. The pho broth was delicious and there was a lot of meat for one portion. I really enjoyed my grilled pork with vermicelli. There were a lot of vegetables and I really enjoyed the sauce on the side. Overall, food was tasty but service was a bit lacking. read more

Honestly this is one of the better pho places I have tasted in San Diego. It was next to the gym I was working out at and the first thing I tasted the broth and it was flavorful, the meat was really good and the noodles didn't seem over cooked. Over a 5! My waiter was super nice and the cashier looked like he was having fun talking to a group of girls that were seated next to me. I would for sure come back! read more

PB Pho & Grill - Pho #13. Rare Steak Noodle Soup #12A. Combo Noodles Soup (Brisket,Steak,Tendon,Tripe) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

just okay. I ordered beef pho and meat was raw assuming it's cook in the broth but I got it for take out. I ended up eating it without the meat, maybe better to have at the restaurant but i wasn't that impressed. read more

This place never disappoints. Quick service, delicious food, generous portions and great prices! They have plenty of indoor seats so we never have an issue being seated immediately. It's a casual spot. read more

PB Pho & Grill is a perfect late night spot when craving pho. I like that they're open late and when I went there wasn't any wait to be seated. The egg rolls were very good and the wrapper was so thin that it had a satisfying crunch. The pho had a good flavor and I really enjoyed their chili paste they included on the counter in addition to the classic hoisin/sriracha combo. I only take away one star because the service was quite slow once we were seated. Our water cups were never refilled and we had to flag our waiter down for the check despite being one of two parties in the restaurant. It seems like they might be a hot spot for food delivery services though so I would definitely be open to order through that method! All in all it's a great spot if you're craving pho in the PB area. read more

First time having pho. My daughter recommended this place and joined me. The pho was good, some of the meat was quite fatty. Service was fine. While eating, the tall server sat next to our table and proceeded to take off his shoes and socks and put his fingers between his toes. As I went to pay, the tall server gave me a receipt to sign. I pointed out a discrepancy. He credited back $3, but I noticed ANOTHER discrepancy so he credited $1. The visit was exhausting and left me a bit grossed out. The restaurant was quite empty. I like seeing all the photos on the wall. I won't be returning. read more

Classic Vietnamese food in Pacific Beach! Pho is my go-to when I need a recovery meal from a late night of hanging out with friends. This place was near us and was much needed from the night before. Came here for a lunch and there were plenty of tables and service was quick and friendly. I got #14 - Rare Steak and Brisket and came with a good amount of meat for the noodles. Ambiance was nice and clean too. read more

I don't go to the PB area but after attending mass at Saint Brigid's it was a cold Sunday night and we were hungry. The nice part about Sunday night was it was kinda quiet in Garnet and parking was a lot easier. When I was in college at UCSD, going to PB was fun and the excitement of youth overrode the hassles of parking. Now I'm just old and grumpy. My favorite pho dish is pho bo kho and I have to say this is the best I've had so far. I a rich beef stew with a tomato based broth with carrots. I find it packs more flavor than the usual say pho tai broth. What really impressed me was their beef cuts. The beef was very tender and most importantly to me was that it was well trimmed. I hate having giant chunks of fat or cartilage stuck to the meat. I mean back in the day I'd chew the fat down but that ain't too good for me now at my age. Their meat was perfect. The noodles were a pretty good portion. My fam got their usual orders and nobody complained. We did try their take on nem nuong cuon, pork sausage rolls. They were good but we hold Brodard's version as the gold standard. Service was super fast and friendly. Very welcoming. I wasn't too keen on the structure itself. They had a glass sliding door and it was not doing a good job of keeping the pretty cold night air from blasting in especially as people were going in and out. I get I had steaming hot pho in front of me but that only helped so much. It's pretty spacious with a lot of tables. I can't imagine how packed it would be on a Friday or Saturday night but then again I'm not going to PB on a Friday or Saturday night at my age. Those days are long gone. But in some future quiet Sunday evening I do expect to return for a phenomenal bowl of pho bo kho. read more

Back to this place 2025 and the pho is excellent beef pho. Truly amazing flavor. Very authentic taste this is the spot to go

BESTTT PHOO IN THE WORLD SO SO GOOD hands down the best in SD 100/10 so yummyyy recommend the pork and rice and house special!

First time having pho in San Diego County. Probably better than I thought. Broth: Not complex but clean broth. They either added too much lime on their own or I'm gonna get sick. Find out in a little bit. Rare Beef: Overcooked. Was dry and chewy. It came already cooked in the bowl. Not the usual where it's slowly getting cooked or raw still when they serve you the bowl. Meat Balls: Definitely came straight out of the freezer packaging. Still had the hard edges on it from the frozen package. Egg Rolls: Two small roll. Probably size of a one normal one together. Despite it being made with chicken, I thought it was really good. Cafe Sua Da: Definitely on the bitter end with no real taste of the condensed milk. read more

First time ever trying pho!I have never in my life tried something so wonderful! I understand the hype. Portions sizes are amazing. Customer service was wonderful, she had no issue going back and forth when I would forget to ask for something. Added a little stuff on my own but the broth/ soup alone is beautiful and light! I highly recommend and I will definitely be back SOON! Thank you for the amazing lunch :) I'm going to go home and take a nap now read more

I have been here for about 3 days in a row and it was always a hit. The Owner is always polite and always greets me as i walk in. There is a lot of space for sitting so if you decide to bring a large group they have tables for that. It is definitely an affordable spot since everywhere in PB is pretty expensive. Besides that, the food is very good and I will be here definitely sometime this week! read more

So nice we went twice. We had dinner here and came back for lunch the following day because we liked it so much. For dinner, we had spring rolls, spicy beef stew pho, and chicken pho. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The beef stew is a richer version of normal pho, with chunks of tender brisket. Very yummy. The broth is not too salty, and the portions are good. For lunch the following day, we had grilled pork summer rolls. Also really good. The service is quick and courteous. The dining room is kind of dark. They have limited seats outside. Overall really good authentic Vietnamese fare. read more

Great food at a great price! I met up with some friends here before noon so it was pretty empty. I got there before my friends did and the waiter was patient but still attentive. I ordered the grilled pork rolls, fried chicken wings, and pho with rare steak. The food came out quickly and all of it was delicious. Especially liked that the fried chicken was topped with lots of garlic so it gave it a lot of flavor! read more

The Pho here is great, I've lived in the area for 2 years now and this is my go to Asian cuisine spot. If you're feeling soup noodles their Pho is amazing, rich broth. If you're feeling some chow mein, they have egg noodle stir fry, and rice noodle stir fry. If you like more of a cold noodle dish, they've got Rice Vermicelli. My favorite is the egg noodle stir fry. read more

Food and service is great. Had a variety of order to go from appetizer, pho and some rice dishes. Everything was a hit! The broth hit the spot. The rare meat and brisket were the right thickness. A go to spot in Pacific/Mission Beach if you are craving Asian food. Will definitely come back here. read more

Holy smokes, this was amazingly perfect pho. Two of us at at 9:45pm having randomly walked in for under a third of a hundy, and it was hot, tasty, fresh, and had large portions. An absolute, 100% necessary go again. We can't wait. read more

Wanted to get a quick bite and bring some noodles back for our grandson so we found this place about 10 minutes away from our hotel. Luckily hubby has parking karma and we found street parking a block away. We ordered beef pho, combo vermicelli bowl and chicken fried egg noodles and Thai iced tea. We were eligible for 10% off $50 check in offer. The beef pho was delish with tasty broth, combo vermicelli bowl was good as well and the fried egg noodles were tasty with lots of veggies. Service was friendly and attentive read more

I don't know how to say this more clearly.. the woman who serves this food might be the most rude angry-by-nature person I've ever met in my life. The chef is a really kind man and has good food. He delivered it to my table the last two times I was there . Which kind of proves the rest of my review I don't know what this woman is doing, that is "" a server. Fact: when I come in here, I have to deal with this incredibly rude woman who pays zero attention to my table... it's an insult to me and to the man in the kitchen. You should be so grateful to have a job like you have in this time. But you act like it's the biggest chore in the world and that is not hospitality. That's nonsense that I don't need to deal with. As soon as you remove that individual and refund me for my last three meals there, I will change my review. Because it took three times of the same experience for me to speak up that's how much I stand by this review; that's how bad your service is. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon and brisket pho. Surprisingly the brisket was a bit more tender than the filet mignon. Portion size was solid. Also got the honeydew smoothie which was typical Asian smoothie - good but artificial. Overall it was a good bowl of pho with good quality meat, decent broth, and they were open fairly late which I appreciate. Would go back if I am in the area and craving pho. read more

Loved the tofu pho!!! I haven't had broccoli in my pho, but it was cooked perfect. Quick and easy to access. Service was excellent!

I heard this place was really good and I was sooo excited to try it. Im on the hunt for a fabulous Banh Mi with tender, delicious meat, fresh greens, crisp yet soft fresh bread and PATE. The Bahn mi was decent. Beef was moist not dry..but it lacked in pate. But, I'm willing to try it again. Maybe it was just an off day for sandwiches because it did not satisfy my hunger ormy craving much at all. read more
