Pho Fusion blows me away. Best pho and sandwiches. Not to mention the prices are great! Located in a strip mall its got ample seating inside and the staff are quick to seat you with a smile. The restaurant itself isnt modern but if you care more about food quality you wont care. A friend recommended this place after leaving a nearby restaurant with 40-50min wait. I ordered a regular sized Pho, shrimp Bun bowl and a sandwich which cost $40.32! I couldn't believe it! The food was delicious. Give this little gem a try, you wont be disappointed.
Came here on a weekday around 3pm. Not too busy, only a couple other tables occupied. We were seated, ordered, and food came out within several minutes. The family enjoyed their popcorn chicken. The menu says it's spicy, but the spice was verrry mild. Still with good flavor and crispy. The egg rolls were hot and came with the typical lettuce and mint. Their nuoc Cham (dipping sauce) is definitely more on the mild side. The flavor not too powerful. I got the chicken vermicelli bowl. It's very simple : noodles, lettuce, grilled chicken, and pickled carrots/radish.. each ingredient tasted simple, fresh and 'clean'. The amount of chicken was also pretty generous. I like eating it egg rolls , yum! The boneless pork chop rice place came with a fried egg, was also a generous and tasty portion. The restaurant is on the smaller size , but still with a decent amount of tables.. everything was clean, and somewhat minimal. Prices are also affordable, if not a bit cheaper than other like restaurants. The gentleman working was the only one we saw. He was friendly and kept our waters filled.. he even offered to top off our own personal water bottle!
Great little hole in the wall - while small, it is bright, cheery, clean, and had great customer service. **they close at 7pm** (and closed Sun) It was my first time there and we were so busy catching up that I didn't realize the closing hours, and they were too kind to tell us they were closed until 730pm.. I got the pho #14 and was really pleased with all the pieces of meat. Broth was tasty on a cloudy day, tasted lighter than other places I've been and maybe slightly less depth, still delicious. Cons: regular size was filled to the brim and spilled once I was trying to add veggies and stir. Would love a bigger bowl Pros: good food, competitive prices, food came out fast. Parking lot available (small, space may very depending on time). Comfy booths available. I saw some banh mi (sp?) on the menu that I want to try too. I plan on going back for the pho too. Ready to put this in the rotation.
Great alternative that's not required to wait for a table. Atmosphere- climate was a bit warm. I like a restaurant that has a nice cool temperature climate especially when eating hot food. The egg rolls were delicious but the portion was on the smaller side. Had a large pho which the portion felt on the smaller side. The broth was on the savory pallet which I like but quite salty even for my taste. A solid place I'd come back to and give another try.
Came back in this place is still pretty solid. I will say that for the price and the amount food that you get and on top of that the service is five stars. I try their spicy chicken pho for the first time, and it was truly spicy and delicious. The place is always clean and bright, but I will say that on a rainy day this was really the thing we all needed. Once again, the service is great and the service is also fast.
If I had to put my rating into words, I would say this pho was almost there. In my opinion, the soup lacked the depth of some of the other local restaurants in the area. But when you add all of the spices and sides to the meal, they can even out a little bit, but what I would say is that this is a three out of five.
Stumbled upon Pho Fusion while I was waiting for my car to be service across the street. There was no one in the restaurant when we entered but we were quickly seated. The restaurant smelled of cleaning products, I'm sure they were wiping down the dining area. We sat down, looked at the menu and I ordered the Tai Sach (tripe and steak pho) with meatballs on the side and my daughter ordered the Tom Chien lan bot (popcorn chicken); it came with spicy mayo. We both enjoyed the popcorn chicken; it was crispy and had great flavor. The spicy mayo was a good dip for it. My tai sach pho was just okay, could use more flavor even when I flavored it with Saracha, satay etc. It wasn't spicy to me. Overall, I love the customer service here and the cleanliness of the restaurant. They have a restroom for customer use. Plenty of parking but it can be busy on the weekends. Accepts debit/credit/cash.
It was our first time at this place and we came around 5:30 pm on a Friday and were the only ones there but other parties came later. It's clean, spacious and modern inside with a good amount of seating. There was only one guy serving and doing it all and he was talkative and had a sense of humor! I ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio and enjoyed it! It was a huge portion and came with lots of vermicelli noodles, pork, egg rolls, and veggies (lettuce, cucumber, carrots, daikon, bean sprouts). All the ingredients balanced well together and were tasty and fresh. My sister and I both had lots of leftovers! Prices and portions are good and service is good as well. Overall, a solid Vietnamese spot and I would come back if I'm on the area.
First time trying this place and the waiter had a great sense of humor lol. Expansive menu and I got the bun thit nuong cha gio which was a huge portion. Lots of egg rolls, pork, vermicelli and fresh veggies (cucumbers, daikon, carrots, lettuce, bean sprouts). My mom got the pho and said the noodles were a little soggy. Not my top choice but I would come back if I was in the area
The family and I came out here for dinner the other night. There waiting for a table guaranteed Although the area is full of different choices we've always end up here for the no hassle! Come in and have a seat.
Its been hard to find a yummy, affordable, vegetarian pho in SD & stumbled on pho fusion. I saw great reviews and gave it a shot! I will say I totally thought I ordered the vegetarian pho with tofu but clearly did not see the other option. I think the veggies are great but would've preferred tofu. Broth is super filling and savory. Also worth noting that the man who helped me was very attentive and friendly. Perfect for a rainy day, will definitely come back!

I got Pho Fusion takeout for my family a few days ago. It was my first time trying it out. The restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. in between Fan Diego and Brother's Mexican. The restaurant was very spacious inside, with plenty of booths. The owners were quite friendly people who made our 3-pho, 8-spring rolls meal fairly quickly. The takeout pho came with big bags of bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, hoisin, and sriracha. I personally thought the pho broth was a bit lacking. I've been to Vietnam, and eaten pho all over Southern California, and there a a number of places I think have richer broth. A good pho broth takes 24 hours to cook. But that's not to say it was bad by any means--more middle-of-the-road. However, a highlight for me was the brisket. If I come back, I'll probably try a purely brisket bowl. It was pretty flavorful. The spring rolls were great. Owners are great, service is great, the restaurant is spacious and welcoming, and the pho is pretty good. It's worth checking out I think--opt for the brisket! Update: Came back today after a year or so away. I ordered online and they let me eat it in store, which was nice. I had the rare steak and brisket. I now can appreciate this pho with the owner's original comments about the broth in mind. The broth is lighter and clearer, so it misses some of that "traditional complexity" you might find in pho bowls across Vietnam. However, you can still tastes hints of anise and other spices, and it feels super clean. It's a lighter vibe that still carries the hallmarks of long-stewed pho broths. Come try it out! read more

A lovely family-run Vietnamese restaurant! It is super clean, bright, cheerful inside. We ordered 1) spicy chicken pho - a flavorful broth with spicy chili oil, thin sliced onions, green onions, cilantro and chicken 2) pho with flank meat, brisket, steak, tendon. The broth was clean and flavorful, came out piping hot with perfectly al dente noodles. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The prices are amazing and some of the lowest we have seen in the area! $11-$13 for pho! Service was friendly and warm and efficient. They also have bun, rice plates, spring rolls, popcorn chicken, plenty of vegetarian options and dessert. Plenty of free parking in the lot! read more

Came here before, the pho is good and cheap but wouldn't say it's remarkable. The server was very attentive and the ambience was very vibe and chill. I came here to get the chuoi chien this time. Didn't expect it to come out wrapped up like a lumpia but it was very good. Drizzled in caramel and plated with whipped cream. Very delicious. The wrapper was flaky and I enjoy it a lot. read more

The food was delicious. We got the raw steak, flank, and marbled flank pho, the pork and egg roll vermicelli, mango green tea, and taro milk tea. The service was extremely quick and everyone was so nice! The taro milk tea is exceptional!! This is going to be a regular spot for me now. Also affordable! read more

Quick service and the food was delicious! I got the Short Rib Rice Plate and the meat was cooked to perfection. I was also glad they included the soup and sauce with the dish. Keep in mind this place doesn't have a public bathroom. I would definitely come by here again for a quick lunch/dinner. read more

First let me say that this place is clean especially with only 1 person taking orders, being the busperson and making sure everyone is doing well. The Pho was delicious , something my mom wanted was broth and it hit the spot. We also had egg rolls both veggies and pork which are made to order so they came out nice and hot. We shared spring rolls as well. Then our waiter/suspension placed our ordered but we forgot a Boba drink - he explained all the drinks and if that is not hospitality... then what more is needed. Thank you for being attentive we had a wonderful experience. See you again soon. read more

I liked this place. Server at lunch was nice and patient with me deciding what I wanted. Steamed potstickers were average and just what you expect which to me is a comfort. I was displeased with the Bahn Mi, the overall sandwich was average but the toppings lacked flavor. I love a sandwich with the juicy toppings and condiments. read more
Stumbled upon this place. It's not close to all other Asian restaurants in convoy. They share their parking spots with other restaurants near but didn't have issue finding a space. We've arrive early for dinner and it wasn't busy at all. But as the night went on, it got busy. The decorations itself for the restaurant was very minimal. Barely anything, but it was clean. Also their bathroom was clean. They don't offer filet mignon pho like other places I have visited. I've got the rare steak for small portion but I felt like I could've gotten a larger portion because the portion wasn't as big. The broth itself was ok, not amazing. We have also ordered their famous spring rolls that I have read all about on yelp, and it really was not that great. I'm not so sure what all the hype was about. However, their Boba tea was on point and it was very cheap for any Boba I have purchased in San Diego. read more

Was in the neighborhood and was craving some Pho so came in and was quickly sat down with menu and waters ready to go. The Pho and the veggie plate were average, the broth wasn't that flavorful and seemed like it was lacking cloves, cinnamon and star anise. The small amount of beef was good but not great. Loved the pork spring roll more than the Pho. Not sure I would return. read more
I'm so happy I found this family owned restaurant! They are open for dine in or carry out. They are fast with their orders in my experience. The young man working was very friendly and helpful! I ordered chicken pho, egg rolls and fried rice. It was all delicious! I will definitely order here again for good food and friendly service! The restaurant is on the small side but was clean and tidy, nothing fancy. They are located in a small shopping center next to other establishments such as a lamp store and massage place. The parking lot has plenty of parking. read more

I've been here twice and the first time I had pho and spring rolls, the second time I had the rice plate. For the first visit the dac biet pho was a 8/10 pretty good. The spring rolls were not worth the money. I enjoyed the pho though. For the second visit the rice plates were very tasty. My son loved the pho very much I had to order another extra noodles. For service they're more attentive than your usual pho place which is nice. A lot of locals frequent this place which shows the quality of the dishes. I am eager to come back and try more. Very friendly staff. read more

Does anyone know if Pho Fusion is under new ownership? I've been in regularly, but not in the past month and went in today and noticed some changes in decor and the flavor of the food...?
It's family owned, the son in law of the cook doesn't manage it anymore, the daughter of the cook does now. Still family owned and the food is great!
