Thank you to all the family who made this food happen for me and my lady! Wonderful ambiance filled with cultural art and the service is great! Very homely place and the food is made with care thank you so much family!
How does this place even have 3.5 stars? I walked in and it was a mess. Didn't smell that great either. The guy at the counter was very nice though. My spring rolls were not great but I ate them because I paid for them. The wrap was gooey and the veggies inside were not fresh. The peanut sauce consistency was not good. It looked like someone put water and peanuts in a blender. I will not be back.
This was a small Vietnamese restaurant in the Midway Plaza of the Point Loma neighborhood. I stopped here after running some nearby errands knowing they were not going to be busy. Parking spaces in the plaza were plentiful during my late evening visit. Only one customer was seated among the tables that could hold around 40 people. The menu didn't seem as extensive as other pho spots, but it was a mom-and-pop operation. Appetizers, banh mi sandwiches (only four varieties), pho, rice dishes, vermicelli noodles, beverages, and desserts made up the categories. My choice was the vermicelli with grilled beef (bún bò nướng). The bowl of rice noodles contained shredded lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mint herbs, pickled carrots and daikon, and roasted peanuts. A cup of vinaigrette fish sauce (nước mắm) was provided on the side. Upon first glance, all of the green veggies were buried on the bottom of the vessel. Only the peanuts and pickled carrots and daikon were visible on top with the beef and noodles. The flavors didn't stand out while the portion for the price was a bit undersized. I didn't leave Pho Little Saigon still feeling hungry, however I think there are better choices for this style of cuisine within a couple of miles of this place.
Called in my order and it was easy. Ordered my favorite egg rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and combo Bun pork, shrimp and egg rolls to-go! Can't wait to eat this. Also, the boxes on the side is for to-go orders incase people are wondering and judging. They're a little "hole in the wall" but the best/authentic places are not perfect aesthetically but the food is sooo good you wouldn't care! It's quiet and there's parking but sometimes is taken over by the gym people so I park on the street to pick up my food.
Another Pho shop nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we ended up checking out Pho Little Saigon. This mom and pop shop is tucked away in a small shopping plaza on Midway Drive and can be hard to miss. The restaurant is tiny with less than 10 tables. As you make your way to the bathroom you'll get to pass by the kitchen and what seems like prep/storage. It might look like a mess but growing up Vietnamese. This is how exactly my house would look like. I was craving Bo Luc Luc (shaken beef) and glad to say this did not disappoint. Their fried rice was exactly how I like it, with just scrambled egg and green onion. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and garnished with fresh herbs. The portion was just right and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. My boyfriend got the banh mi and he said it wasn't the best he had but still pretty good. The service was fast and friendly as we ordered, ate, and paid for our food all within 30 minutes. I'm glad we took this detour and tried a new Vietnamese spot here in Point Loma. I definitely want to come back for their Pho.
This is a small restaurant that's run by a husband and wife. The husband was super nice and service was really quick. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, a large special and a small rare steak, tendon, and tripe. The pho broth lacked the beef bone flavor and the rare steak was not even rare. I would give it 2 stars at most. I had to use the restroom before we left and found it unsanitary that I had to walk past the kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. There was food being prepped on either side of me, exposed. They should have some sort of dividing partition. If I used the restroom before eating, I would have probably opted to go elsewhere. I really wanted to award 3 stars because the owner was extremely nice, but his wife's pho was pretty bad and the kitchen was unsanitary.
My husbands chicken vermicelli bowl was not good. The chicken was so dry and hard. I tried eating a piece and it was hard to bite through...it was that over cooked. My steak pho wasn't the worst. But the broth was pretty oily which I didn't like. My noodles were also slightly over cooked and kind of mushy. While sitting in the restaurant we noticed this place appeared to be needing a good overall deep clean. The curtains hanging by the entrance door have very visible stains on them. The hand sanitizer bottles on the table looked dirty like as if people had sauce on their hands and used it many times over a long period of time and the sauce and grime built up and dried on the bottle. There was also some noisy banging/scraping sound nearly the entire time we dined there. It sounded like maybe someone was trying to use force to scrape a metal hood fan or something? The only time the banging/scraping sound wasn't happening was when the person working was out in the dining area taking orders, serving food, ringing up customers.
Amazing food and staff was so sweet. I would highly recommend eating here. Food came out hot and fresh and pricing was very reasonable!
Pho was delicious! We didn't have to add a thing broth was on point...vermicelli wasn't that good I didn't enjoy the egg rolls. I wish they wouldn't if charged 1.50 for veggies but it's ok wont order this next time.
Reviews are mixed. Many praise the fresh and flavorful food and generous portions. The friendly and helpful staff and homely atmosphere are also appreciated.

I'll just have a little bit. We got off work early on a Saturday and decided to get something light. Pho is light and really tasty. Well here the pho was tasty but not really light. I ordered the seafood pho. Plenty of fresh herbs to go with the large pieces of shrimp and a dozen fish balls. This went well with half a gallon of broth. There was so much that you can feed a family of four and still have left overs. Ok many not that many but it's a lot of food. Fresh veggies and plenty of herb made the aroma pleasant as the broth enters your mouth. Overall four stars. Food was good and the price reasonable. Could use an upgrade in the decor but really you're there to eat not to look. I got stuffed. read more

We recently just moved to San Diego, and wanted to have some pho. This was the first place we tried and it did not disappoint. The pork spring rolls were delicious and made fresh, they weren't just sitting in a fridge or freezer. I got the chicken pho, and it was delicious as well, the medium size will definitely make you full . We also got the coffee with condensed milk , and a club soda lemonade which were really delicious. As you can see we thought everything was delicious and would definitely come again. read more

The food was more approaching 4 star or at four star level. However the place really needs a makeover! It's like a small little taco shop, and not so much in a good way. I probably won't be back, just because so many places in this area are good and also have a bit nicer establishment. If you need a good Pho fix there are a lot of places to choose from in the immediate vicinity that are doing everything correctly. Don't get me wrong the place did have good food.. I just really wasn't a fan of the ambiance. If you like hole in the walls this may be for you. I tried the Pho and egg rolls, I thought they were tasty. Happy eating!! read more
Pho-real? I got tricked again? I walked to my car after work and found a little "Grand Opening" flyer from Pho Saigon. Sadly, this is the second time I got tricked by a Pho place with their "Grand Opening" marketing tactics. I roll up with my co-worker and it just simply said "New Management". I decided to give it a go, even though I felt dumb for getting excited over a "new" pho joint. My initial reaction to reading the menu was... "hm, this place is targeted for whiteys" I noticed all the noodle soups had rare beef, slices of pork, or chicken. Only one soup had tripe, tendons, and mystery meatballs. I ended up getting the pho with all the odd meats and a sandwich to spit. I thought the food was just alright. Nothing really stood out to me. I would go back, but probably not anytime soon. A little about my credentials: I first got into cooking & food when I was in college. After being rejected by numerous girls and getting zero action, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a new makeover to boost my geeky, engineering image. I applied for a cooking position at a Mediterranean-Italian Restaurant near my home and learned to cook all sorts of pastas and dishes. I never became a professional chef, but I continue to enjoy & love food. 9 years later and 55 lbs heavier, I have a new passion for traveling and trying different foods around the world. read more

A cute little pho resturant was home to my mom's first pho experience. It was phonominal! In San Diego on a mini vaca with my mom, I talked her into trying pho! She had her ideas of what Vietnamese food would be but she was pleasantly surprised. I had to take quick advantage of my mom's adventurous spirit and this was the closest pho place to us. Food I ordered the pork on rice noodles with cabbage and my mom ordered the meatball pho with rice noodles. For an appetizer we ordered the pork summer rolls. We were surprised that the ice tea we ordered was straight tea leaves in cold water. Perhaps Im missing something but I thought it was "regular" ice tea we ordered. Service & Location The service was great. Quick, efficient and friendly. The location was in a small strip mall and between other restaurants. I would return when in San Diego. Good food. read more

Nice little Pho restaurant in the middle of the sports arena area. First time at this location. It was raining throughout the day, and the perfect meal for a rainy night is Pho. Checked yelp for the nearest location and I ended up here. I ordered the chicken Pho bowl with a side order of Spring rolls. Food came out in about 10 minutes. The chicken pho bowl had plenty of chicken. The flavor was good but not as good and rich as the beef pho bowls. The spring rolls were also good. Overall a good place for Pho if your in the area. Small dining area. Also the parking is very small in this busy part of sports arena. The service was good here. The place is older and could use some cleaning. The restrooms were also needing a clean up. Still a nice little place to stop by for some good pho. read more

What the Heo? I thought this place was a Cambodian restaurant but new owners serving Vietnamese pho! That's funny, because the selection is limited to only rare steak, well done flank, and meatballs. (no tripe, tendon,..) but they do have chicken, shrimp, seafood and vegetable pho with tofu. The menu mostly have lot of rice combinations and noodle dish so I go back to try that. They even have banh mi sandwich so it look nice place have lunch. I get the rare steak pho- nice broth but the steak already cook when come to table. (so it not really rare steak) The broth was super hot and the herbs fresh speaking of hot try the chili paste in oil it make my mouth burn! :-x This a nice place for lunch- they close at 9 pm so no late night dinner my GF prefer Tajima for late night noodle fix anyway. Only three star now, but since they just open only two days most likely they going to work out kinks and be better for future visit but for now 3 star AOK :D read more
