V4. Pad Thai V4 Stir Fried Rice Noodles w/ tofu , bean sprout, onion, top with crunch peanuts
Shar S.

As a vegetarian, I always come here and get the Tofu Veggie Fried Rice. The vegetables are fresh, the tofu is well seasoned, and the texture is amazing. The tofu itself is the BEST tofu--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. This time I tried the V4 Pad Thai Tofu and it didn't disappoint. I chose level 5 for the spice, and it was the perfect kick--bold but not overpowering. The noodles were so good: not hard or chewy, just the right texture. The crushed peanuts added an extra layer of flavor and crunch that brought everything together. Sweet, savory, spicy, and satisfying--this dish hit every note. Overall: -The food: 10/10 One of the best spots in Spring Valley and near La Mesa for plant-based eaters, offering standout dishes where vegan and vegetarian options are otherwise scare. The decor strikes a playful yet serene balance, with adorable fish adding a whimsical touch that delights guests of all ages. The aquatic elements create a calming backdrop, while the consistently spotless environment speaks to the staff's attention to detail and pride in presentation. Whether you're dining solo or with company, the space feels welcoming, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed. -The service: 10/10 I was waiting at my car and she brought the food out to my car .

Combination Pho

Combination pho was very tasty, service was quick and friendly. The broth really stood out, super flavorful and felt handcrafted. I would definitely recommend Pho and Grill International for a moderately upscale dining experience!! Definitely nicer than a hole in the wall but prices are not outrageous.

Grilled pork banh mi, lemongrass chicken, fresh spring roll and mango smoothie

If you are a customer here, you are family! We had a delicious meal yesterday and chatted with Jonathan, the owner. He told us that he has not raised prices in over a year even though his costs have gone way up. The food is delicious here! The banh mi, pho, noodle and rice dishes are all a fantastic value and so satisfying. They have catered parties for us to rave reviews. Let's keep our local businesses like this one afloat during these rough times, especially when the bang for your buck is exceptional. Remembered to take a photo after eating most of the meal. The fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce is one of our favorites and the lemon grass chicken with rice was amazing!! Make sure to try their smoothies too!

Great local pho Spot in spring Valley/Rancho SD/ La presa area. Located in a small shopping plaza, it's hard to miss. I really like this place because: 1)delicious 2) affordable 3)convenient Definitely recommend to get when craving an Asian sensation flavoring!

So, my wife and I decided to hit up Pho Grill International after our walk, and let's just say it was an adventure! The place looks like it might have been decorated in the 90s and then forgotten about, but hey, who needs ambiance when the food is this good? The staff was like a well-oiled machine--busy, focused, and definitely on a mission. We were in and out faster than you can say "Dac Biet Vermicelli"! Speaking of which, we ordered the Dac Biet Vermicelli, and it was BOMBBBBB!!! BBQ pork, chicken, shrimp, and eggrolls all in one bowl? It was like the Avengers of Vietnamese cuisine came together just for us! The nuoc mam (fish sauce) was super, I was ready to slurp it up. - no diddy... Then we tried the Dac Biet Banh Mi, and oh man, that sandwich was so good it might've made me reconsider my life choices. If you're into amazing food and don't mind eating in a place that looks like it hasn't been redecorated since the days of dial-up internet, Pho Grill International is where you want to be. We'll be back for sure--mostly because I need more of that Banh Mi in my life!

Pho Dac Biet

Long leisure lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was half full when we arrived and there were people picking up Togo orders too. We grabbed a corner table next to the fish tank. I forgot something in the car, by the time I returned my Pho was being delivered. I added an order for Crispy Egg rolls too. I appreciated that the Egg rolls came with lettuce, mint and dipping fish sauce. Interior is bright and decorated with reds. Plenty of seating, looks like they have a party section as well. Server was very attentive. I had to kill two hours and they were very kind and allowed me to have a long leisure lunch. There are many menu options: appetizers, noodles, rices, pho and banh mis. Can't wait to come back!

3.5 We were near the area and we decided to pick up some food here. My family likes Pho soup so we placed two orders of soup, two orders of Pad Thai with tofu, and some egg rolls. I've actually enjoyed this place in the past because its convenience of being nearby and all, but for this visit it was off. I felt like the quality wasn't as good as usual. Oh and be careful looking up their website on the internet. Looks like it has a virus/ hacked.

My first experience at Tambayan, was in March 2026. The word had spread across social media, saved…read moreto bookmarks for, "places to get High n' try." Plenty of parking in the free parking lot off Paradise Valley Road. March 22nd was the day four friends found out the hype - is real. Tambayan makes you wanna slap yo lolo. Masarap! From the Güd Burger and that ube milk bun, to my personal favorite, sisig fries with calamansi aioli. Friends didn't complain about the pork belly in their sisig bowls either. When it came time for dessert, we met my second favorite mahal, ube churros with dulce de leche ube sauce. Jammed with hot halaya. So, of course we came back itching for more. Let the photographic evidence before you be proof of this customer's satisfaction. Special Kuya Dan shoutout to bro who hooked us up with the complimentary lumpia! GALING. Sisig fries remain the main character in this NPC's game. Pairs perfectly with a taste of Hawaiian Sun, Luau Punch. The fries stayed crispy until the last bite - and I nearly ate clear through to the table. The restaurant serves a handful of open tables. Dine in, or carry out. The plate is the same. Everyone's doing it. Service is simple. Order, snag a seat, and standby for sisig. If your kind of dining requires Instagram worthy ambiance, or you're worried about calories - Tambayan maybe too much for you. I dare you. Kain na! Until your pork belly meets mine once again. Thank you, Tambayan! P.S. This review was written by my hands - not Chat or AI, nor the influence of social media stardom. And I, thank you. Edit: I came back for the 5th star that kitchen is good for.

Randomly hopped on Yelp like, Aight, what's good around here...Tambayan Filipino BBQ & Grill popped…read moreup, so me and the homie said screw it, let's run it. First thing.....PORTIONS ARE LEGIT. They definitely not back there counting pieces of meat like it's coming out of their paycheck. You get a good amount of food for sure. I got the sisig rice bowl. Flavor was good, portion was solid, and I definitely ate it...but was I sitting there having a spiritual experience over the sisig? Nah. It was good, just nothing that had me texting the group chat like, BOYS. GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW. THEN MY HOMIE GOT THE SHORT RIB BOWL. Bruhhhh. He let me get a bite and immediately I was mad at myself. I'm chewing his short rib while looking down at my sisig like, I chose you over THAT?? That short rib was GOOD good. Next time I already know what I'm ordering. We tried the mac too. Mac was cool. It showed up. Did its job. Clocked in, clocked out. Nothing bad, nothing life-changing. NOWWWW...we gotta talk about the environment. I went to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I had accidentally entered the employee storage room side quest. Stuff seemed like it was everywhere, and the whole place just felt like it needed a good cleanup and organization day. AND THEM FLOORS?!?! Slippery AF. I was walking back from the bathroom like a Filipino uncle leaving the dance floor after three Red Horses little steps, arms out, praying I don't end up on Yelp as part of somebody else's review. That was probably my biggest issue. When I'm eating somewhere, the environment matters. If the back/bathroom area feels cluttered and the floors got me ice skating back to my table, it starts making me question things I don't even WANT to question while I'm eating. BUT I gotta give credit where it's due....the service was GREAT. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nice to us. And honestly, that's why I'm rooting for this place. The food has potential, portions are generous, service is friendly, and that short rib is . If they cleaned everything up, organized the place, fixed the slippery floors, and made the atmosphere feel more inviting??? BRO. This place could be PACKED. I'd definitely give them another shot. But next time....SHORT RIB BOWL. I learned my lesson.

Brought out all our food and everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The atmosphere is very laid back and cozy. It had a mom and pop feeling to it.

A bit disappointed with our delivery order. Thursday evenings are always busy due to after school…read moreactivities so we tend to go out or order delivery. It was our first time trying this restaurant and unfortunately, I will not return. We ordered a good amount of food. Yellow curry, pad see ew, pad Thai, dumplings and gyoza. I took the first bite of pad see ew and was immediately turned off. It did not look freshly made. The broccoli color was dull and all were mushy. The dish had a very sour taste. Unsure if reheated or just sitting for awhile. The noodles were mushy as well. The pad Thai had a similar taste so both were thrown out. Money wasted. I did enjoy the gyoza and dumplings. Both became my dinner and kids had Mac and cheese. My husband enjoyed the curry. I haven't seen the restaurant before outside of driving by otw to the gym. It's why we chose to order. Although some of the food was edible, I will not go back.

I would say Top 3 places I've tried in SD. Their noodles and fried rice is also solid. The lady that had been at the counter every time I go is fast and efficient. The place has dim lighting, quiet and a good amount of tables for dine in. They have their own parking lot and always plenty of space.

Highly Recommend Panda House Restaurant in Spring Valley!…read more We recently tried Panda House and were so impressed! Their lunch value meals are served all day, and you truly can't beat the price for the amount of food you receive. The portions are generous, making it a super affordable option with great value. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The General Tso's Chicken was delicious, flavorful, and not greasy. The pork fried rice was amazing and paired perfectly with our meals. We also tried the Salt & Pepper Chicken -- the pieces were large, cooked all the way through, crispy, and not over-fried. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp was another favorite -- perfectly cooked, lightly crispy, and not oily at all. The Curry Chicken with vegetables lunch special for only $11.99 was such a great deal with a good-sized portion. Fresh food, great prices, generous servings, and delicious flavors -- we will definitely be going back for more! Also the service was great and clean. G

The salmon almost tasted like cold-smoked salmon, which I really enjoyed, and the musubi had a generous portion of Spam. I also ordered chicken katsu to go for my boyfriend. He said the chicken was extremely good with great flavor, but he really disliked the macaroni side. Overall, great flavor, generous portions, and good prices! The macaroni was the only miss for us.
