    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!

    Bad taste and bad service. I will not be returning for sure. Their reviews are exchanged by "complimentary" service .

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

The staff was really nice and I just loved all the plants. I also loved how they have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the everything bagel with cream cheese - not sure where they get the bagels but I loved it! And they put a lot of cream cheese which I appreciate. I got La Fresa which has strawberry cold foam and after mixing it, I liked it. I will definitely be back to try more coffee and their other food options. I purchased the Iced Morena and a turkey pesto panini for my friend and she said she loved it!

    One of my coworkers used to rave about the coffee here. I finally got to try it! We visited three…read moretimes in a 2-week span. The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.
