74. BBQ Chicken & Egg Rolls Vermicelli
C Jude S.

This little unassuming joint In Watsonville... is outrageously fresh, tasty and wonderful! Great service. The BBQ is nicely smoky in flavor. It's going to be a craving - on the regular rotation for me.

Take out "eye round steak" pho.

I enjoyed my take-out pho from Pho Kitchen. The ordering process was easy although I find the 'ordering thru a tablet' to be a weird-modern-day dining experience. Anyways, it was a satisfying experience and I would recommend.

Fried Calamari

Very good food for a very good price! Would recommend if you are looking for a nice atmosphere, fast service and kind workers.

68. BBQ Chicken Vermicelli

3.5 This place is our regular viet fix on this side of the hill. Next best viet food is in Salinas or San Jose.. Order at the devices on the entrance. Grab a number and find a table. Shrimp tempura were hot, crispy and juicy. The dipping sauce is a perfect pairing. Bbq chicken vermicelli bowl had good quantity of food. Came with fried roll and nuoc mam (fish sauce). Had plentiful amount of fresh vegetables and herbs. Juicy, succulent chicken. Bbq chicken rice plate was decent too. But as you can see could use little more quantity of meat. All in all decent place for viet food. Maybe slightly expensive than most SJ places but not bad.

A year later exactly since I've came in and I still love this place. You order first then seat yourself. The food is so good I didn't even have time to take a picture. Egg noodles are my new go to.

Pretty average pho, wish the portions were a little bigger for the price but definitely cures the craving. I always get chicken pho so it's hard to mess up. The bahn mis are really good too!!

Beef rib pho
Julie W.

What a pleasant surprise that we found good pho during our family beach vacation 10 of us met here for dinner, the place is clean, spacious and easy to find. We ordered using the kiosk which is easy, food started coming within minutes. All of the orders were well received, the fried egg rolls were crispy with very tasty shrimp and pork filling, definitely one of the best. The pho with 2-3 ribs was a great deal, combo pho, seafood noodles, vermicelli bowl kids pho and etc were all delicious and in generous portions. This is a great find, we would come again.

Pork vermicelli salad
Panette P.

Ordered pork vermicelli salad, avocado spring roll, shrimp/chicken spring roll, thai ice tea. Salad and Spring rolls were fresh and crunchy. Great peanut sauce. Preferred the pork/chicken spring roll over the avocado roll. Thought the avocado roll was too rich and needed acid to break up the fat. Good portions.

2. Shrimp Spring Rolls

Every visit here is an absolute delight! Whenever I'm in the area visiting my partner at work, this spot is a must. The service is seamless and incredibly modern you simply walk in, place your order at the self-service touch kiosk, pay effortlessly with Apple Pay or your card, grab a table number, and then sit back as your food is brought straight to you. It's efficiency and hospitality at its finest. Now, let's talk about the food--absolute perfection. The BBQ Chicken Vermicelli is packed with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. My go to is the eye of round rare steak pho, and what really sets it apart is the option to make it spicy, something I always take advantage of. Every spoonful is a comforting, flavor-packed experience that never disappoints. This place is innovative, satisfying, and absolutely worth the drive every single time. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!

48. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup + Braised Short Ribs

The Meat super tender and broth very flavorful. I recommend this soup. Perfect for the cold weather.

BBQ Pork Verrmicelli
Rossana C.

First time going to Pho Kitchen and I really liked it. I ordered their BBQ Pork Vermicelli Salad and their Brown Sugar Boba Matcha Latte. The pork was delicious and very well cooked. The salad was fresh tasted so delicious as well. The vermicelli was also really good. The food is light, I ate the whole bowl and I didn't feel heavy. It's a very healthy and light option. The boba was amazing. Not too sweet, the texture was just perfect. The place is also very nice. The service was great too. Im definitely coming back to try more of their menu.

Pho Kitchen Watsonville CA Sat 1/4/25 Delightful Pho discovery in Santa Cruz! Jalapeño garnish plate, come to papa! © I tended to some business in Aptos recently and being under the weather, craved piping hot Vietnamese Pho. There're not a whole lot of places to choose from in the Santa Cruz area, to be honest. So 4.5 stars average rating at Pho Kitchen intrigued me. Let's give it a try! Found this casual modern bright space to be delightful! Versatile options to dine-in, order takeout or take delivery. Tap to order! For walk-ins like myself, you order at one of the touch-screen kiosks with credit card payment or at the counter for cash. Then proceed to the brightly lit spacious dining room, and your order will be served in a jiffy! Just what I needed tonight! Napkins, spoons, chopsticks, everything you need, at the table! Here comes my appetizer, number 6. Egg Rolls ~ Deep fried egg rolls stuffed with pork & shrimp, carrot, taro, and mung bean vermicelli. Served with sweet chili sauce. Crunch away! Absolutely Pho-ntastic! number 47. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup "Bún Bò Huế" ~ Thick rice vermicelli with Well-Done Brisket, Tendon & Vietnamese Ham in Spicy Lemongrass Broth. Slurp away! Always served with herb garnish plate, full of delicious fresh Vietnamese bean sprouts, mint, basil, lemon, and of course sliced chile or jalapeño! It balances hot broth over noodles with crunchy bites, simply perfect! If you know me, you know I walk around with emergency jalapeño in my pocket! Laughing but true, you never know when you might need it! Vietnamese restaurant is the only place where it's all taken care of for me! My stuffed sinuses cleared pronto, whew, my upper respiratory condition cured! Looking forward to second plate of garnish! I'm a big boy, I need my sprouts & jalapeños! Swiftly brought up upon my request, no problem! Super polite staff, calm & quiet atmosphere at this hour, I was finishing my dinner at 8 o'clock, they close up shop by 8:30. I'm used to much later shutting times on the SF Peninsula or in the San Jose area, and we have tons of Vietnamese spots... but here in Watsonville / Santa Cruz, I understand they might not need to stay open too late for occasional lonely customer LOLz, so all's good, so long as I got there in time to get my fix! Driving home happy & satisfied! Thank you Pho Kitchen! Pure comfort! *The broth has got flavors That don't need hiding I love to get that pho When the broth be too strong I know that it's Viet But a soup everybody loves The cure if you're ever hungover, So baby, won't ya come over?

He said they were really helpful. He also said that they moved pretty quickly even tho there were only two people working and they make everything to order. They were out of mango when we went but offered to substitute a different fruit on the tropical açaí bowl. My husband chose to sub banana and liked it. He couldn't have the granola because it does have nuts in it. My little brother got the very berry açaí bowl and really enjoyed it. He likes their granola! We got a churro crepe, caprese crepe, Nutella strawberry and banana crepe, and smores crepe. The crepes themselves are a little thicker than what I would prefer, but they do a good job loading up the toppings. The flavors were awesome. I think the churro crepe would be better in house and didn't travel very well. There is a little seating area inside and also patio seating outside for the shopping complex as well. I liked their vibe a lot and would go back again. I didn't order it but I did see on the online menu that they do sell Diet Coke.

As for the food rating: - 5/5: I got the sweet lemon crepe, using regular crepe batter (the other is buckwheat). The regular crepe batter has excellent al-dente snap to it. It's better than the crepes at The Crepe Place in Santa Cruz. - 1/5: The vietnamese iced coffee might be the worst I've ever tried. Super weak. hard pass!

The employee at the counter was very nice and welcoming, and I appreciated the friendly service so much that I left a tip. The inside had a cute setup and fun decor. The shop was decent overall, but could have been a little cleaner. We ordered the popcorn chicken and drinks. The popcorn chicken was about a 7/10 for me. It was more on the sweeter side than savory, so it really depends on your preference. If you like savory chicken, it may not be your favorite. I got the Blue Galaxy drink, and I probably wouldn't order it again. It tasted more like grape, and I was expecting something closer to blue raspberry based on the name. My husband's strawberry slush was better, and I enjoyed his more than mine. Next time, I'd try a different drink since the menu has a lot of options. Overall, it was still a positive first visit because of the friendly service, fast turnaround, and cute atmosphere. I'd come back to try other menu items.
