I've come to this pho place 3 times already & as you can already tell, I'm obsessed with this place! The first time I came to try this place was because it was recommended by my client as the best pho place in Escondido, and you know I had to stop by if it's the hype place. I took my parents here and everyone loved their own dishes they had! Parking is spacious and it's located in a really open-spaced plaza. Inside, it's very clean and bigger than expected. Service is fast & suuuper friendly. Like they're very attentive to you. I ordered the P1 small and I think my hubby ordered the P6 large. My mom got the Crispy Egg Noodles with seafood and I believe my dad got the beef or pork rice dish. Food rating: P1 - 5/5 AMAAAZING BROTH, no seasoning and still the freshest beef flavored broth I've had in a long time. Very balanced meat to noodles ratio. Crispy Egg Noodle w/ Seafood - 4.5/5 very yummy! I was delighted that it came out fresh and the noodles were still very crispy even after sharing it for a while throughout our dinner. Pretty good portion for sharing but maybe even good enough for one person depending how hungry you are. BBQ Beef Banh Mi - 3.5/5 the BBQ beef was seasoned very well and cooked perfectly! Not too chewy and overcooked. My only dilemma is that the bread and sandwich size is a bit small. I shared this with my husband and it was perfect for eating 1/2 a Banh mi and eating my small pho with it. Try this pho place out! The workers are all so nice and even give free Taro coconut sampler desserts each time you visit. It's a wonderful surprise and the service here never disappoints. Food gets ordered and comes out quickly. read more

So it very rare to see the owner of a business try so hard to set things right. The owner (a very nice man) reached out several time to try to set things right. This is more than most businesses will ever do. He apologized for the bad experience and explained to me about the dessert. He was very sincere and invited me back to meet with him, which I did. Thank you Pho Luu (and anh C.) for providing above and beyond customer service. I understand mistakes were made but you genuinely wanted to fix it. I am happy we were able to work things out because the food here is very good and I can now consciously refer this place to family, friends and coworkers. Please continue the excellent service Pho Luu. Best of luck. 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

Pho Luu - Fried rice and wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

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

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

This is a Strange Review but I'm hoping that this Review is Educational. I've been to Vietnam and I'm about to Visit again! The problem with this restaurant is Simply Cultural, because Most of the Staff doesn't Speak English! I believe They should Have Translators to help communication or the Staff is gonna Call Mom and she does Speak English! Before I go on, I must say The Food was Excellent and I had Pan Fried Vegetarian Noodles with Tofu and It was Delightful. The Noodles...Oh, the Noodles were Cooked exactly like I Love...Nice and Crispy! I tried to Tell them that's How I wanted the Noodles prepared but the language Barrier prevented that from Happening...So, I took a chance and that turned out Great...Whew! But, no one checked to See if I was Enjoying my Meal (probably because I was Stuffing my Face) and No one bothered to Remove my Plate! In fact, at the end of my Meal, no other Customer was in the Restaurant and Staff didn't Bother to make Eye Contact or Look my way! And, of Course I had to ask for my Bill too! All tables should have Contact at lease 2 or 3 times per Visit. Staff shouldn't be Allowed to play with phone or Turn their Back to Customers...Young People, what are you gonna to Do! Last, for those Reasons I didn't leave a Tip...because in Vietnam there's No Tipping...I felt like I was in Nam! I truly Hope I won't feel like I'm Being ignored in the Future because This Could Be A Great Option for Escondido! I loved those Noodles and I'm not Angry...just a little Disappointed. We can do Better! Maybe, next Time I'll leave a Tip! read more

Hits the spot every single time. Phở Lựu is phenomenal. The standout is definitely the broth--deeply flavorful, aromatic, and not overly greasy. The portion sizes are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the bowls come out piping hot. The staff is welcoming and the service is fast, even when they're busy. An absolute gem of a spot if you want an amazing, authentic meal. Highly recommend!p 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

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

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

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

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

The Combo Lo mein to go plate was just okay. The proteins were on the dry side perhaps more sauce and vegetables would enhance the flavor. Not as filling as most Chinese Lo mein dishes. Their Pho's dishes are very delicious compared to others in Esco. read more

Pretty good. I've been looking for a good pho place closer to Escondido. Now there's one right in the same complex as the Escondido Tesla supercharger! The pho was pretty good. I still prefer Pho Cow Cali in Mira Mesa but this one is definitely a strong second in my book. The egg roll was okay I thought. Not bad but nothing to write home about. I did like that it came out crispy and piping hot as it should but it was a little greasier than it should have been. But I can't wait to try some of their other dishes. Crossing my fingers that their bun rieu and bun Bo hue are good! read more

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

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

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
