    Pho Bowl and Grill is delicious! I ordered the Chef Special and it was yum! The broth has a ton of flavor, and for someone like me who doesn't add hoisin sauce or sriracha to the broth - it was yummy. The amount of protein and noodles is awesome, and you will definitely leave this place full.

    Dining al fresco with my meatball pho - very good and hit the spot!

    I hiked 8 miles to Potato Chip Rock and afterwards, was feeling a bit dehydrated or kind of like a tire with no air, so after resting for a couple of hours, I found my body asking for soup and salt. And when that happens, it's usually a piping bowl of ramen or pho that will answer my body's asks, so I checked out this place! This restaurant is in a strip mall a few blocks from the pier (ok maybe more like a 15 min walk) literally next door to Sunshine Kitchen. Sunshine Kitchen had a lot of diners inside and out, and I felt a little FOMO while I stuck to my decision to eat at Pho Bowl & Grill. They have two tables for outdoor seating and since no one was sitting outside and the temp was nice enough, I asked to sit outside. No problem for the guy taking care of me. He was the waiter, the guy answering the phone, the guy making sure take outs/deliveries were happening and cashier, and he got it all done! What a magician. He was pleasant enough as Asian service is about getting down to business so he took my meatball pho and diet Coke order and got to work on it. Meatball pho was delicious and piping hot and the side veggies were all fresh and abundant. Meal was very casual, I ate and slurped in peace and then went inside to pay. Great, low key spot that makes good pho. Id definitely return.

    Overall, the food was great up until today. My biggest complaint was the customer service. My drinks have been forgotten multiple times while dining in-person and still got rung up for the items on the final bill. Today, I I had ordered take out pho and noticed no condiments were served with it. I initially thought to myself, "no big deal, mistakes happen." I begin eating the dish and notice pork skins all throughout the chicken pho, as well as a piece of HAIR. As someone that has a reaction to pork, I could not eat my dish and driving back to the restaurant was not feasible due to the distance and heavy traffic. I tried calling to get a refund and stated I have pictures as proof, but did not get anywhere. Giving the place the 2 out of 5 because the food was great up until this point.

    Gotta say. Super impressed with the Pho. Great portions of the proteins (plenty of tripe, brisket, beef). Great pho. I also really was excited about the temperature. A lot of pho places lately have been serving it tepid and it's been really bothersome as they bring out the meat raw and it takes forever to cook. Not here. Nice and hot!! I'll be back and can't wait to try some of their other items like the spring rolls!!

    The broth its self was not bad, just needed more of the pho flavor. It was served with plenty of meat and herbs which helped.

    The best pho in SD North County! I ordered Rare Beef with tendons pho and it didn't disappoint. The broth was seasoned well, not too salty and not bland. The balanced taste was great. The meat was very tender and fresh. I also ordered Shrimp spring rolls and it was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. The place was neat and orderly. Will go back for pho cravings soon.

    Good pho! I had the large chicken which had huge amounts of chicken white meat. Broth was a bit too sweet for me. Overall I'd still give it 5 Beer was reasonably priced also.

    I can't believe I stumbled onto another hidden gem during a one-night road trip down south! I had to charge the 3 on my way back to Los Angeles - with the chargers packed, I had about 1.5 hours to kill. Looked around and found this pho spot. Checked Yelp: 4.4 stars. Not bad - let's give it a shot. And I'm glad I did. The broth had a beautiful, clean flavor - not overly sweet or salty - and the texture was nice and clear. Noodles were firm and perfect for slurping. The rolls didn't disappoint either - I practically gobbled them. Solid place.

    I love Banh mi! One of my favorite dishes! This was the worst banh-mi of my life. Stale chewy bread, dry meat, dry everything, really bad. Also got a noodle dish, really bad. Overcooked noodles, dry beef,supposed to be ribeye...but the bread takes the 1st place for worst of his class. Ended up putting the sandwich filling on the noodles, since the bread was so bad. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but serving this kind of food, it's absolutely disrespectful to the customers. Left feeling sadly disappointed. What a ripoff.

    Open 10-830 daily. Plenty of free parking. Came for dinner. Not packed. Pay by cash and receive a free menu item in next visit ($45 and Up). Opened 8 years ago. They have a Pho bowl challenge for $45, finish in 45 mins get the bowl for free and get a gift card. Bun Bo hue doesn't have coagulated blood, pork hock or banana blossom. Made for western people since not a lot of Asians in the area and coagulated blood is probably weird to some. The bun Bo hue soup is good, I really liked the dish. Pretty stinky when it first was set on the table though. Pho soup was ok only, was salty but lacked typical pho flavor. Decent but more meh. Veggies were fresh. You can choose between white or egg noodles for stir fry noodles. Crispy or soft. There is only one person working the front so have to wait until he's not busy between phone orders, register, etc to finally get his attention if you were to need water or an extra bowl. At least he's upbeat and friendly. Overall nice place to eat a nice hot bowl of soup.

    Grilled Ribeye Beef combo. Comes with rice and a small side salad.

    We ordered grilled ribeye beef combo (BR4) and the Chef Special Pho Noodle soup, the meat was a letdown. Both the ribeye and the short back ribs were really chewy and hard to eat. The ribeye also severely lacked flavor. On the positive side, the pho broth was actually very good, but the tough meat ruined the overall experience.

    Very yummy  and hearty!

    The Banh Mi had no pate. However, I give it three stars since the sandwiches still tasted okay.

    Wow, my last review of Pho House was about seven years ago, but between then and now I've probably…read morevisited a few more times. Lately, I've been searching for a new go-to pho spot, and this place is definitely climbing back up my list. The staff was professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The dining room, bathrooms, tables, and sauce stations were all well maintained. I also appreciated the hand sanitizer available at every table small detail, but a nice touch. I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.

    On our way to visit a family member in Oceanside, we ended up at this little restaurant near our…read morefriends' house. I was surprised that this little place had so many options. We each ordered a different dish, and of course, I ordered the beef pho. It was kind of a gamble. I immediately regretted it as soon as I placed the order, fearing it wouldn't be up to my standards--especially since I'm a chef and used to live in an area with a very high Vietnamese population with many well known pho restaurants. When the pho came out, it only took a few sips for me to realize I was wrong to have prejudged this restaurant. The broth was a little lighter than at some other pho restaurants; however, I could taste all the hidden ingredients like star anise, ginger, and onions. The meat was well-cooked, and everything tasted fresh. My friend ordered bò kho and bò lúc lắc, while his sister had the rare beef pho. They both finished their plates and bowls to the last drop. The restaurant is clean and the service is excellent. If you are in the area and looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, look no further--please check out this spot!

    This place is truly a gem and I am truly happy to have found it. It was 8:30pm when I arrived (they…read moreclose at 9) and they sat me immediately. The first thing that blew me away was their pricing on the menu- pho for $13?! Bun Bo Hue for that price? These are pre-pandemic prices! The staff provided service with a smile and brought out our food quickly. The dining area is pretty large so plenty of seating. It was the most affordable meal in an enjoyable setting that I've had in a while!

Fish sauce was enough to pour over everything, rice, salad, and pork. I devoured it and would definitely order again. My husband ate the pho. He said the brisket was alright by itself. He's had better. Adding hoisin sauce helps. The dish only included two packets of hoisin. (I keep a bottle on hand because I normally like hoisin with almost every bite whenever I eat pho. Restaurants never give enough.) Be sure to ask for extra! The noodles came in a bowl which is convenient. Other establishments may have the noodles in a Chinese take out box and you supply your own bowl. Overall, he was happy with his meal. The restaurant only had one table with guests. Two more tables were taken by the time I left. I don't know if I've ever seen this place packed. The decor is the same from the previous business that occupied that spot. The restaurant is fairly quiet with the exception of a movie playing on tv. I don't know the movie. Didn't pay much attention to it until I heard cussing. A lot of it. Tense scenes. The lady servicing the front paid no attention to it. Probably background noise to her. I wasn't a fan. Not exactly family friendly and poor taste imo. I went here because my usual spot is closed on Tuesdays. Overall, it was a decent experience.
