My boyfriend and I love vietnamese food and this place was such a HIT! Some of the best vietnamese food I have ever had. We have been to a lot of vietnamese restauraunts, and this one definitely stands out for us! The people who work there are very kind and attentive and the interior is beautiful and clean. We will definitely be back! 10/10. We got the fish sauce chicken wings, filet mignon vermicelli and the house special pho. read more

Best pho in Escondido by far. Amazing service, amazing food, very clean and staff were very welcoming. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting pho, will definitely be coming back. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I can honestly say it's the best Viet food in all of San Diego. We usually have to go to Orange County for legit viet flavors but finally one opened in Esco. It's family owned so you can taste the love in the food and they are all very sweet and attentive. Our fave spot in town! We've tried everything on the menu at this point and we come here at least once a week. There's not one dish that isn't made to perfection. Even the banh mi is absolutely delicious!!! The grilled meats are tender and so flavorful. Love this spot! read more

Best Bun Bo Hue in Escondido! This is such a convenient spot located right in the plaza with the Tesla chargers. Perfect place to grab a meal while you wait. You can tell this used to be a KBBQ spot because of the grill tables. The interior is now super clean and modern. What we ordered: Egg Rolls: We went with the half order (3 pieces). They are a bit smaller than your average egg roll, but they are dense, meaty, and very tasty. Bun Bo Hue: The Spicy Beef Noodle had the traditional cut of meats including the blood cube and pork hock. The broth was a bit light initially, but once I added the house sate chili oil, it was perfect. Com Tam (Broken Rice) with Grilled Pork: The marinated pork was the highlight here. Very savory and perfectly cooked. Overall, great service and even better food. Whether you're charging your car or just in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

My friend invited me to come try Pho Luu a new Vietnamese restaurant that recently opened in North Escondido. This is a family oriented restaurant. You have grandma, uncles working. Everyone was friendly and super fast!! We ordered and our food came right away! Prices are also very affordable. The food was delicious! I was surprise to find another group of friends having dinner here at the same time. Place was busy. read more

Everything went well on our first visit to this restaurant. We found them on Yelp and was highly-rated. So, we dropped in. Service was professional and friendly. We ordered the Fried Spring Rolls, Shaking Fillet Beef rice plate, Grilled Chicken Pan Fried Noodles and Grilled Chicken Crispy Chow Mein. The menu had interesting offerings as well as traditional ones. The Pan Fried Noodles were battered wide flat vermicelli noodles. All dishes were flavorful, too. As for the noodles restaurant, it was clean and spacious. I strongly recommend this restaurant whether you're looking for Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Pho is our go-to for hangover.. so we looked up pho places.. when we saw this one in Escondido and close to home.. we looked it up and it looks like it recently just opened, so we decided to try it out. When we got here, it has a nice big open lot so there's plenty of parking so u don't have to worry about parking. There's also a Tesla charge station if u need to charge your car.. there's also other businesses around too. when we got in the pho restaurant, it's a nice open spacious area. They have old school music playing in the background which sort of puts me back to my younger years of listening to Celine Dion.. on the walls they have TVs showing different soups or dishes from Vietnam. I explained to my boyfriend what some of the words meant as he also observed around the pho restaurant.. we ordered 2x P1 ( pho combo) and 2x Vietnamese coffee.. the food and coffee came out pretty quick which was great, cause I was hungry. we were happy that this place actually have dipping sauce without having to request for it! Which was awesome for me because I don't need to speak broken Vietnamese to request for it. I started putting my concoction together when the server came over and asked us how's the food or if we need anything.. honestly, I haven't tried it yet.. and thanked him.. after putting my concoction together (dipping sauce).. our first thought upon sipping the pho broth.. it was definitely made different than other pho places (while other pho places use more aromatics for their broth) this pho broth was coming more from the meat. Try it out and see how this broth differs from other pho places. To each their own.. Also the tripe here is made better and does not have that rubbery like texture when biting/chewing it like some other pho places.. Oh and not to mention the worker/owner here are all very friendly and sweet! Love the atmosphere here.. After we finished our food, the lady that greeted us when we first walked in asked my significant in viet something but he didn't respond so I told her he's Vietnamese.. so she asked if we need to-go containers for our pho.. and I said yes, please.. we exchanged couple more words before going on our way.. as we were leaving it looks like they were about to have a car show or old school car meetup.. given that we had other arrangements we could not stay for it.. We will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes or another hangover bowl of pho will do! So glad we got to try out this place, and will be in our rotation of pho places to go read more

Food was cheap and delicious. Pho was flavorful and has lots of meat. The beef banh mi has a good grill smoky taste and nice marinate. The eggrolls has good filling with nice blend of veggies and meat. The thai tea has a good strong tea taste. The flower and lamp decorations was also cute it takes me back to Vietnam. read more

I recently visited Pho Luu and had a great experience overall. The pho is definitely the highlight rich, flavorful broth, well-balanced seasoning, and fresh ingredients that really stand out. You can tell they really know what they're doing when it comes to their core dish. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable, making it a nice spot to enjoy a warm bowl of pho. One thing I did notice is that the menu is quite large, which might make it challenging to maintain speed and consistency, especially during a full house. Focusing more on their strengths especially the pho could really help streamline operations and make an already strong offering even better. My wife and kids also tried the broken rice with BBQ pork, but it didn't quite meet their expectations in terms of flavor. That said, if they continue to lean into what they do best, this place has strong potential to stand out. Overall, I'd definitely come back again for the pho. Good luck and hope you the place become success! read more

Pho Luu - Good flavors with lots of toppings - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

The most flavorful pho I've had in a long time! It's hard to find good broth but this one didn't need anything added to it. I walked in and ordered to go and the wait wasn't long. The staff were friendly and there were plenty of tables to sit at. I ordered the rare steak and brisket pho which was excellent. My friend got a beef entree which she said was delicious. We shared the egg rolls which were also very good. I would definitely return to try more! Maybe I will dine in next time. They had cooking videos playing on the tvs inside which was a nice touch! read more

Nice, clean, and roomy restaurant. It just opened in the same lot as the Tesla charging stations, so it's actually a perfect spot to grab pho and a coffee while your car charges. Of course they offer a variety of different options for Vietnamese cuisine and specialty tea/boba drinks. Prices are good too unlike most pho places charging $18+. The lady helping me was really nice and attentive, and the food came out in less than 15 minutes. I ordered the special combo pho and the broth came out blazing hot, exactly how I like it. The flavor was good--maybe a little on the fattier side--but still really satisfying. This is definitely going to be my new go-to pho spot in Escondido. read more

Pho Luu - Combo Large - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and one side of the restaurant was reserved for an event for the lunar new year. We were seated right away. I ordered the bun no hue and had lots of flavor. The egg rolls were crispy and delicious. My friend had the combination pho and he really enjoyed that. The food did take awhile since there was an event but they did address that and communicated well. I will definitely come back to try different menu items. read more

Pho was good and flavorful. Spring rolls were fresh and the service was great. The dining area was clean and well organized.

Came here on a Saturday night and it was BUSY. Don't be fooled by my photo, because as soon as we sat down, those seats were filled too. The pho is really good. Better than the local chain and long-standing Vietnamese restaurants nearby. If you know, you know. My only complaint would be with the service. They took forever to take our order, served tables that came after us first, and we sat around waiting forever for the bill until we just got up and asked to pay. It's really slow service compared to other places. I'm not letting this impact my review because it's the grand opening and they're still working out the kinks. If they get the service right, we will be regular customers. read more

Our new favorite place! The food was incredible, and the only thing better was the service. We will definitely be back!

We just ate at Pho Luu for dinner on a Friday night. We had a big group with a lot of kids and they had amazing, fast and friendly service. We had the bun Bo hue, fish sauce chicken wings, salt pepper chicken wings, and pho. Everything is delicious! This is definitely our new go to Vietnamese spot in Escondido. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best bowls of pho I have had. The broth had deep, complex flavor that is often missing at other pho restaurants. Service was fast and polite. The restaurant was ample, quiet and clean. This will definitely be my new spot. Don't skip this place. read more

Grand Opening: Newest pho restaurant in Escondido is worth a try! The decor is simple, clean and cute. The pho here was some of the best pho I've had in all of San Diego! I heard the chef in the kitchen has worked at some of the best pho restaurants in both Vietnam and San Diego for years. My family and I tried a little bit of everything from their menu. Note worthy items: their pho is what you come here for! Their fresh spring rolls are a healthy, light and filling appetizer. We loved the crispy noodles with veggies and beef. Not oily at all. Lastly their Thai tea with boba and Vietnamese grass jelly with coconut cream top is addicting ! The staff is still figuring out how to streamline the restaurant since they are new, so please be patient. Kenny, our server was very friendly and will answer any questions you have about the menu. I promise you when you taste the food, it will be worth the wait. Can't wait to come back and see how much they grow in the future! read more

Pho Luu - P6 - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

Very nice place, staff very welcoming, pretty busy on a Sunday for lunch, but still plenty of room. The restaurant is clean and sparsely decorated. Very comfortable. I had a shrimp and egg roll rice vermicelli bowl. It was great! Veggies are crisp and tasty and the chili oil and sriracha spiced up the dressing perfectly. Noodles were cooked just right. Ratio of noodles to veggies was very good. The staff checked on me frequently and kept my water glass full. Prices were good especially for the portion of food. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Super tasty! And staff were so welcoming and sweet! So nice to finally have a good pho place close to home.

First time coming here Food was very bland person will have to try the Pho before writing the place off as a no go for. Cashier was more interested in socializing with friends than paying attention took a very long time to get the bill after asking more than once. Maybe growing pains, they need to do a better job of monitoring their patrons and look for subtle signs like wanting to pay the bill or need water etc read more

I enjoyed having dinner beee tonight. The restaurant just opened and they asked me for feedback regarding the food because they are interested in making it as good as it can be. I had only positive feedback, the broth was flavorful and the veggies fresh. Pho was hot!!! I appreciate the hot broth, because I don't like soup getting cold two minutes after you put in the veggies and meat. Very convenient location and place is very clean. Come and support and good family business. read more

This place was so good! The food was cooked perfectly and tasty too. Atmosphere was clean and very colorful. It reminded me of HoiAn's alley with the beautiful paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The service was friendly and helpful. Definitely returning soon! read more

Had the opportunity to dine in at Pho Luu. If you're into Drake music, this is the place to be. Not only was there good music but the food was delicious. The service could do a little more. We didn't get our waters refilled, nor get check on. Give them a visit. read more

The food was incredible! I've been waiting for some good Vietnamese food since being in college and not being able to have my mom make me pho, and this gave me a taste of home. The service was quick and the food was piping hot and delicious. The price is also very reasonable, I believe I got a regular pho for $12. Would definitely go back read more

We came across Pho Luu because it is in the same center as a Tesla charging station. Three important factors as to why I am writing this review are as follows. 1. FOOD - amazing! Fresh and delicious. Half the table had meat and the other veggie. We all left happy and satisfied. 2. SERVICE - friendly and welcoming. All the staff was kind and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The owner came to our table and was kind to assist us with how to best mix the chilis and hoisin sauce to get the best flavor in the meal! Much appreciated! 3. CLEANLINESS - definitely A+. The dining area offers open spaces to comfortably move around and not feel too crowded. All surfaces were clean and well maintained. Looking forward to an excuse to drive to Escondido just to eat here again! Thank you for sharing your cuisine! read more

New favorite Vietnamese spot in town. The pho broth was flavorful that you wouldn't need to add anything to it. The bun bo hue was not sweet and had the right amount of spice and I'm so happy we have a place to return to when I'm craving either Vietnamese noodle soups. I will definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

This place just opened up and if you're craving authentic Vietnamese or just wanting extremely good food, this is the place to go. We ordered grilled shrimp spring rolls, pho with tendons and meatball and shrimp fried rice. The broth of the pho is amazing-- not too greasy, or salty-- just perfect. The shrimp was a good size and the best peanut sauce I've had to date. What really blew us away wasn't just the taste -- it was the value. Prices are significantly lower (about $5-$8 cheaper!) than at other Vietnamese spots, yet the quality tastes like it should cost way more. Add in super friendly waitstaff and a warm/welcoming vibe, and this place feels like a hidden gem you'll want to come back to again and again (and ag read more

I drove past here yesterday and realized they took over the kbbq spot, so I had to try it. We live around the corner and down the street so we ordered delivery. The food was okay at best. There are better Vietnamese spots in town. I was really craving some mi xao gion and was excited to try it. However the sauce was so bland. I got the combination one where it's beef, chicken and shrimp. The meat was super tough. My husband likes bo luc lac, so we ordered that. It's rare that a place makes it correctly. Theirs was also really bland as well. It does not have the flavor profile of bo luc lac, not even close. The meat should be tender too, however it was tough. We didn't try the pho, and I wish we did. I don't know if I would be ordering from here again. read more

Went on opening day and it was amazing! The owner even took our order! Food was so reasonably priced and the service was super fast, waited no longer than 10 minutes for our food! Overall great vibe, felt super welcoming and friendly. The Thai tea was delicious! Would recommend to anyone who likes authentic Vietnamese food! read more

This place was ok. I came here last week and dined in. The waitress was nice but service was mediocre. I ordered chicken pho and was not offered lime and herbs that's usually come with it. So I asked for them, she look at me funny. Then I ordered food to go and she charged me $1 for a to go container for my left over soup. I don't plan on coming back. Oh, the food was ok. Nothing special. read more

I wish I took some pictures of my food before I started eating, but everything was amazing from the food,service, cleanliness , and quality of meat/veggies . It's a family owned business which I absolutely love I felt like I was at home and the food was comforting . My cousin & I started off with spring rolls as an appetizer then I had the beef pho and she had chicken pho we both enjoyed our bowls . Overall I really admire the service here they brought us out free dessert as well & made sure our water cups stayed filled to the top haha . The only down fall is that we were only visiting for the weekend so I won't be able to stop by often as a go to spot but I know exactly where I'm coming next time I'm back in town ! I believe that they just recently opened up too so I hope they continue thriving and receive a lot of great customers/business !!! read more
