I've driven by this spot a bunch of times before finally giving in and trying it -- and I'm glad I did. No hype, just deep, rich flavor done right. The pho broth is the standout: clean, savory, and clearly simmered with intention. Nothing muddy or flat here -- just layered flavor that holds up from the first sip to the last. I ordered the combination pho, and it was hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you're craving something comforting but bold. The egg rolls are crispy and well-executed, not greasy or forgettable, and the portions are generous across the board. This is one of those places you finish eating and immediately think about when you're coming back. No hype -- just deep, rich flavor that speaks for itself. read more

The broth from the pho was delicious. Their portions were large and can be shared. The eggroll was very tasty

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 . read more

One of my favorite places since they were at the other location, the food is delicious, I feel very much the sudden great loss of Jonathan, I send my prayers to him and to his whole family read more

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! read more

Walked in at lunch hour, so considering this the speed was good (food was served within 15 mins). I ordered a combination rice pork plate but did not receive the shredded pork when we asked the waitress. They said they don't have any so I'm not sure what that means. If that's the case, maybe they should take it off their menu. Half of the pork chop with my rice plate was bone, however, it did taste good. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My new favorite pho spot in east county! We ordered takeout and when the food arrived it was piping hot. We got chicken pho, seafood pho, and spring rolls. The spring roll pork was seasoned and not boiled like it usually is in pho spots. Let me tell you it added so much depth and flavor absolutely amazing. The seafood was sooo fresh it was crispy light and airy. Food was prepared quickly service was great staff was friendly. I would 1000% recommend its located in a corner shopping center parking can be a little tight and would leave with enough time. read more

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. read more

Delicious fresh food with great vegetarian and vegan options. Delicious taro coconut smoothies! Amazing family style service. Good location and parking.

I got the #8- Rare steak Pho, it was hands down some of the best I've ever had. Big portion. Delicious broth. Generous amount of steak. Generous amount of toppings including large stocks of mint, jalapenos, juicy limes, and sprouts. On top of that, a manager/owner type gentlemen made his rounds checking in with new customers asking how it all was- he was very sweet & sincere.. we told him how much we loved the Pho to which he replied, "I made it with all my heart!".. now that was icing on the cake! Thank you! read more

Still terrific! I chose the BBQ pork bahn mi sandwich and the grilled shrimp spring roll. Whoo! What a wave of savoriness!

The pickled vegetables were crisp and yummy. Delicious! read more

On passing through to go to a concert, I looked up what was available in Spring Valley, and this one stood out - and was the chosen one. I wanted it to be quick and good. And it was.

Chances that I come back are geographically slim, but if I was in the area, I definitely would. read more

The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, quaint, and the food was very good. The prices were also reasonable, especially for the San Diego. We all had Pho (fish and meat), as well as the clear spring rolls. All of it was delicious. My daughter, granddaughter, and I will certainly return there on my next visit to San Diego. read more

First off I went nuts and got too much food. Delicious pork egg rolls. Great vegetarian egg rolls, great martini shrimp. I got the bun with beef. I alway love bun to me it is just as delicious as pho or banh mi and often times gets overlooked. I forgot to get chili sauce and the meal was still fantastic. Obviously this is a really great place for pho and banh mi as many folks before me have said. I am intrigued by the sugar cane and shrimp paste for next time. Quick fast and delicious. Lots of delicious leftovers for the weekend. read more

I ordered this on a rainy day. I placed a phone order and left immediately to pick it up. They were pretty busy inside. Lots of people eating. Great place to bring your family. Pretty loud but good for kids. The parking lot was not that big for a little shopping center. Everything was decent priced. Lots of food! I ordered extra meat and noodles as well! Everything tasted delicious. Would get again. read more

Pho is always good here . I live close so this place is always my go to for pho . The only issue I have is that every time I go in during lunch time I don't get waited on for at least 10 minutes. I typically don't feel like going to the counter to get their attention because I'm lazy . The place has a huge fish tank and has a nice atmosphere. To me just another place to eat . read more

Was driving around partially lost and saw "Grand Opening" large sign in the front. Parked my vehicle and went inside and asked "how long have you been open?" The guy said "7 years", I then asked "what part of this is a grand opening then?" He just smiled. Besides being duped on a new local business I was happy to see they made an excellent tasting Pho with ample portions of quality beef. Also the freshly squeezed limeade boded well with the soup. Cool fish tank at one end of the restaurant. If in the area again will return. read more
