    Fist time here since I was looking for Vietnamese food. Ordered Bun Rieu and Bun Chao Tom. The bun rieu didn't have the umpth I was looking for; the meat didn't taste like crab meat; didn't really like the flavor. The bun chao tom was "clean" but the shrimp didn't taste like shrimp - tasted more like shrimp and flour. It lacks flavor as well. It was decent but not something I would like to rave about. Not sure I'll ever return because the flavors were completely different (as in unpacked flavor).

    The restaurant is right next to a Vietnamese supermarket, and parking is super convenient. There are plenty of seats, so there's no need to wait. The interior is beautiful and very clean. As soon as we walked in, four staff members quickly attended to us--pouring water and handing us menus--super fast service! We ordered four bowls of Vietnamese pho, which were extremely good value and absolutely delicious. Pho lovers definitely shouldn't miss this place. I especially recommend the pho with pork trotters--it's loaded with ingredients and tastes amazing. One bowl is super filling. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    My wife wasn't feeling well and needed some Vietnamese medicine. I got her 2 orders of large N1 Pho, 2 orders of 6 egg rolls and vermicelli with BBQ shrimp for me. Ordered to go at the counter. The service was friendly and efficient. Paid with credit card. The lady told me the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. So I went to Lucky Seafood Grocery to see if there was anything interesting. My order was ready upon my return and they helped me pack it in my cooler. Great casual ambiance. The food is great too.

    This place is good and deserves a 3.5 stars out of 5. The restaurant is next to lucky seafood store. Although it took a minute or two to be seated, the service was good. The pho was very delicious and had good flavor but it just a bit too oily for me. The spring rolls were tasty but the bbq beef rolls were fantastic. The restaurant is clean, bright, and plain.

    Best broth I have had in San Diego thus far. Yummy rice dishes which are huge servings, so much protein! Great staff Yummy fried spring rolls. Will be back!

    Delicious foods and fast services. Prices are a little lower than other restaurants for the similar foods. The staffs are usually friendly and polite. Item N1 pho large special , R1 broken rice special, R8 broken rice with 3 options, v1 noodles special, and S5 hu tieu my tho with soup are delicious.

    Amazing Chicken Pho!! One of the best I have had. Service was great, they were very welcoming, attentive and very friendly. Ambiance is just your casual family restaurant with Christmas music playing in the background. Also ordered the tofu spring rolls which were really good. Definitely don't pass this place up if you are in need for pho, the broth is very good and meat isn't dry.

    Fast service and always hot and always so good! Lots to choose from but my go to is the you-choose-3-combo, brisket, rare beef and meatball combo or short rib. If you feel under the weather, the fermented salted lemon drink will kick that sick out of you.

    This was literally the worst pho I've ever had in my life. Completely bland -- the broth had no taste at all, like everything was just tossed into hot water and sent to the table. They even forgot one of our plates, and when I reminded them, I honestly wish they never brought it out. We tried both the brisket and chicken pho, and they were equally horrible. The chicken, especially, tasted like dirty socks. Overall, a terrible experience.

    Aloha all! Dropped into Pho Lucky for a quick bite and decided to go with an order of Spring Rolls with Shrimp. It included a combination of crunchy veggies, vermicelli noodles and savory bites of shrimp all wrapped in a chewy rice paper shell. I dipped it in the delicious and sweet peanut sauce and it provided me with a perfect snack that kept me satisfied during my errands run. Next visit, when I have more time, I will definitely stop by for a bowl of their awesome Pho. My favorite is the Filet Mignon Pho. Can't wait!

    Stopped at Pho Lucky for a quick lunch and this place is a hidden gem! Located to the left of Lucky Seafood in the plaza with Aldi, there was plenty of parking within the lot. Service was quick as we were seated immediately and our order was taken. The restaurant itself was large and clean, newly renovated. I always like to try the pho broth before adding anything to it and it was already flavorful as is! ~$13-16 a bowl. I like it much better than Pho Cow Cali where you feel so rushed. Will be back whenever I'm craving pho and are in the area!

    It's been years since I've been out this way, but I heard there's a new cook or a change in management at this spot, so I decided to give it another shot--and I'm glad I did! We started with the egg rolls, and they were a solid 10/10--super crispy, flavorful, and served piping hot (just how I like them). We also tried the beef fresh spring rolls, which were delicious and surprisingly filling. The beef had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. A couple of us ordered the pho (noodle soup), which came in a metal bowl and stayed hot the entire meal. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and there was plenty of tender meat in the bowl--no skimping here. The only downside was the service. There seemed to be only one person taking orders, one bringing out food, and one at the register. We weren't really checked on and had to flag someone down a few times, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the food is definitely worth coming back for--I'll just be prepared for the slower service next time.

    Went down to San Diego and was craving for Vietnamese foods. Found this restaurant and decided to give them a try. The restaurant is nice and clean. They greet you with a smile then take you to your table. Seconds later, they brought over your water and menus. We ordered the following dishes: 1. Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) - It was delicious. The broth was good, not too strong nor salty. I enjoyed it. 2. Grilled Beef with Rice - My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. She likes it and would order this again. We both like this restaurant and would come back and try their other dishes.

Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.

There better be AC next time otherwise I'm taking away a star Because I loved the desserts so much I'm going to forgive the lack of AC this time...

I got a cheesecake slice, brownie and mochi brick with coconut. Cheesecake slice was my favorite, its like ube halaya mixed with a bit of cream cheese and put into a pie crust. The mochi brick was ok, the cashier warmed it for me because he said its served warm, I took a few bites in the car while it was still warm, wasn't blown away, so I let it cool. When I got back to it later it was already back to room temp, I liked it better that way. The ube halaya brownie would have been good fresh but what I got looked and tasted old. Like when you leave brownies out for a few days how the edges and top start getting hard. Thats probably what happened here. It felt like this brownie had a shell casing around it. I ended up peeling the hard parts off to taste it but I threw most of it away.

    I didn't know they opened another location in Mira Mesa! This was my first time visiting this one,…read morebut I've been to other The Alleys in the past. I came here with a friend on a weekend, and it wasn't too crowded. Parking was easy to find, as the store is located in a shopping plaza. I ordered the Strawberry Green Tea with Jelly, and my friend got a mango drink with mochi. Our drinks came out super fast! I really liked my drink; however, it was rather sweet, even though I already ordered it with 50% sweetness. I would recommend adjusting/lowering the sweetness here when ordering! As far as the ambiance goes, it's rather sterile/white. The inside is smaller and limited in seating, so I can't really see myself coming here with a bigger group of friends. It seems more like a grab-and-go establishment, in my opinion. Overall, I had a pleasantly standard experience at The Alley. Nothing in particular stood out to me, both positive and negative. Solid boba spot :)

I stopped by because it's super close to the freeway and I just wanted a quick drink before heading back south. Sunday around 4:30 the music was good, the place was clean, and the workers were friendly. There's a lot of seating inside and outside, plus board games if you want to hang out or study. Ordering was easy with the kiosk too. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and asked for less sugar and less ice. The drink came out pretty fast and the cup design was actually cute and different from what I remember. I didn't try it until I was already back on the freeway and the first sip was honestly confusing. The jasmine flavor was super faint and watered down, but then it tasted sour. Like really sour. Not in a tea way, more like something went bad. It genuinely tasted off. I couldn't even finish it. I took maybe three sips and threw the whole thing away, which sucked because I was already driving and couldn't go back. That's the main issue. With how many boba places are in Mira Mesa, you can't be serving drinks like that. If it was just bland that's one thing, but tasting sour like that feels like a bigger problem. It honestly made me question the quality. I'd skip this spot for now. There are way better and more consistent options nearby.
