    They gave us a sample of their delicious desserts while we waited for our appetizers

    Another delicious place I found while visiting my family. Me and my mom are so happy we came here. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful. This is a local Family business Come check them out You won't be disappointed Mahalo

    Omg! We got our Friday takeout and it was amazing! Everything was piping hot and delish!

    Egg rolls (half order)

    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.

    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.

    This is what they gave me instead to replace the dessert they didn't have. I bought and paid for two dessert items too!

    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.

    I hosted a large family meal today at Pho Luu to celebrate a birthday. OMG, the food was fire, the service was 5 stars as always and the owners even brought us some free Vietnamese desserts at the end of our feast! Thank you for making our family celebrations special!

    Pho P1

    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

    incredible! we were traveling back home from mexico and needed something comforting to eat on the way. this is hands down one of the best phos i've ever had. the quality was noticeable and the service matched. everyone was very sweet and you can tell they take pride in their business. incredibly clean inside. this is now going to be my go to spot if i'm ever passing through here now.

    To go pho
    Vanessa C.

    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!

    Combo Large
    Alex U.

    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.

    Spicy Beef Soup (Bun Bo Hue) I requested no pork but beef.
    Samantha G.

    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.

    New Pho spot in esco!!! I wasn't planning on going here initially but im so glad i did:) The broth was soo flavorful and i really enjoyed the way the pho came put piping hot! Prices are so good for the amount of food there is and the staff was so welcoming. I also ordered a vietnamese coffee and it was delicious! best one i've had in a while:) There is plenty of room inside the restaurant and it had a very cozy feel to it, I will be coming back very soon!

    Good flavors with lots of toppings
    Khanh N.

    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!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this restaurant takes pride not only in the food but also in the atmosphere. The space is bright, clean, and well-organized, with a calm energy that makes dining here both relaxing and enjoyable. The menu offers an incredible variety--pho, rice dishes, noodles, sandwiches, boba drinks, and more--so it's easy to find something that suits your taste. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors that stand out. A must-try appetizer is the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. They arrive fresh and neatly wrapped, with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked shrimp, and that creamy, nutty peanut sauce that ties everything together. Light yet satisfying, they're a great way to start your meal. Another standout is the pork sandwich (Bánh Mì), which feels like a labor of love. The baguette is toasted just right--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--filled with tender, flavorful pork that's marinated to perfection. Add in the pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapeños, and sprigs of cilantro, and you get an amazing balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Each bite is a perfect mix of texture and taste, making it one of the best Bánh Mì sandwiches you'll find in North County. Don't miss the fried rice, a fragrant and well-seasoned dish that's both comforting and rich. The only minor drawback is that the protein--such as chicken, shrimp, or beef--comes separately. Still, the quality makes it worthwhile. For drinks, the boba teas are superb--smooth, not overly sweet, and made with fresh tapioca pearls that have just the right chew. While parking can sometimes be tricky, Chef's Pho & Grill more than makes up for it with its excellent food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're craving a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or a refreshing drink, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

My usual visits are during the weekdays when they open first thing for lunch. You get first pick of the buffet offerings and it's much more enjoyable without the crowd.

Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.
