    The atmosphere is cozy with a clean dining room that feels very comfortable. The service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Small, quaint, family friendly restaurant. I ordered the pho, plus 3 crispy rolls, which was delicious and packed with flavor. The broth was rich, with the perfect balance of spices, and the noodles were cooked just right. The fresh herbs and toppings like basil, bean sprouts, and lime added the perfect finishing touch. The average size but a little light on the meat portion however meat was tender and flavorful. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'll be coming back for more pho. Extremely reasonably priced.

    This place has the best fried chicken wings ever. A perfect combination of sweet, salty, and spicy. This has been my 6th or 7th time and the chicken wings never let me down. I recommend to pair this with a side of rice and soy sauce along with spring rolls. It's bomb, trust. Every time I come down to SD, I always stop by here. The chicken wings are so good I dream about them. Appreciate the greatness that this family owned business brings to the community. I feel like I'm in heaven whenever I get seated down since the music is very calming. Overall, please support this family owned business. It's legit. Though, I only tried the pho once and to be honest I don't really remember how it tasted but if it was bad, I would remember so I'm pretty sure it was decent. Unfortunately, I was too distracted by the chicken wings. A+++++

    this is the menu as of October 2025

    The food was great! I had been looking for a new pho place as the one I frequented had closed down months ago. I called over the phone to place an order and the owner was very friendly! I walked into the restaurant and it was very homey feeling the owner took care of us. The broth was delicious it was so flavorful that it smelled sweet and savory before eating.

    Stopped by after work. They close at 9 but we got there at 8 and they were only doing take out orders at that time. I assume it's because they don't want to stay late. Kind of disappointing when you want to sit & eat vs take out. We ended up ordering to go to try it out any way. Shrimp spring rolls - typically most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to will serve spring rolls with shrimp and a meat (either beef or pork), however, just as the name says, it's just shrimp spring rolls. For me, I like a proportionate of protein and veggies, but the shrimp spring rolls were just for 4 half sliced shrimps (so technically 2 shrimps a spring roll) with lettuce, a little bit of noodles, and mostly bean sprouts. Chicken wings - they smelled really good on the way home, but the chicken wings were small, like party size chicken wings, and barely had any meat on them. Pho Tai Chin - my boyfriend, and I both got the pho. It wasn't bad, but there are many other places with better broth. I think the meat portion is decent. I had asked for extra cilantro, but in comparison to what my boyfriend got, it looks about the same portion of cilantro. I asked for some Sriracha to go, but I noticed it was an off brand. I thought it would be what they had in the restaurant in a little container. Overall, the pho was okay. I really wanted to love this place since so close to my house but I don't think I will be back. A lot of our experience wasn't a big deal but we would rather just go somewhere else that we can get what we want and actually be able to sit down.

    Love this place, used to come here all the time before I moved out of town. Decided to check it out while visiting family. Sadly met with rotten meat when I opened it up at home :/

    Our Go-to Pho place! The food is always fresh and delicious. The Pho broth instantly makes you feel cozy and hits the spot every single time. Service is friendly and attentive. We're here at least once a month and recommend it to anyone looking for good and chill vibes.

    I've lived in the Valley for about 7 years now and never tried any of the Asian spots around here only because I'm skeptical about how it'll taste tailored to Americans so I usually just go down to City Heights or the more known spots. However, I was hungover last night and did not want to drive anywhere far so I decided to check out my local area. Right off the bat I'm going to mention it was a bit Americanized. It's a small establishment with a few tables. Plenty of parking in the same gas station plaza. My son and I came here at 8:10pm and there were a few people seated and a lot of people trickling in and out which I liked. Some were to-go and some were dine-in. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and it was a nice family business owned vibe. We ordered for both dine-in and takeout for my husband. I got the special #p1 pho, my son #p7, and our takeout was for pork banh mi, beef banh mi, pork eggrolls, and shrimp spring rolls. I calculated my total and realized I was upcharged about over $3 which isn't a big deal but idk for what. Maybe the extra requests I made which is normally free at other pho establishments. Everything was really good and friendly and I enjoyed my visit. I would definitely come back if I were not willing to make the drive to the hood but wouldn't crave this place. I asked for chili oil and they gave a hefty amount which I love. I asked for the onions on the side along with "nuoc beo" which is the green onion whites in oil. They brought out diced green onions in oil lol which is fine but I figured because they don't get that request often. The broth was good on its own. My son and I tried it before putting ingredients in. However I noticed their hoisin sauce isn't like the normal pho spots it had a strong smell and was very sweet so that messed up my broth a bit. I also had to ask for fish sauce since they only had Knorr seasoning sauce out. Again, very understandable. My husband said the eggrolls and spring rolls were good and average like any other place. Now the banh mis. I know they tailor it towards Americans but dang it needed a lot of work! I initially asked if they had pate to add to their sandwiches and the waiter said no but I still proceeded to order 2; pork and beef. They were the lemongrass pork and beef that you eat with your bun (vermicelli noodles) dishes so as expected. But omg the bread was so hard and crumby like it was old since people don't order it often. It lacked flavor too such as pate, mayo, and seasoning sauce. I warmed it up the next day for leftovers and the bread got softer in the microwave making it easier to eat.

We were seated along the wall which had booth seating, which I prefer. For drinks I ordered a Thai tea no boba and the hubs a coke. We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7

    Not sure if I trust some of these negative reviews, since some of them even said they didn't eat…read morethe food. Others you can't even see their profiles. So, I'll leave a legitimate review along with pictures. Initially, we were ambivalent about trying this place due to the high prices but they also have an exceptional rating on Google and Yelp. 4.9 on both Google and Yelp, that's rare. We bit the bullet and headed there. Parking can be tough but luckily we found parking in front of the restaurant. It was free after 8 pm on a Tuesday. If you go earlier or on the weekends, I would read the parking sign more carefully. There might be free street parking on the left side behind the restaurant. Don't quote me on that. Like I said, parking is not as easy as other places in SD. There are quite a bit of tables to sit in. It wasn't busy when we went. Yes, they do have a very large menu with like 1,000 items. We are not vegetarian or vegan but we have tried vegan places in Denver, CO. We ordered eel Helen pho roll, crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi, and duck wonton noodle soup. The owner also gave us complimentary desserts, vegan corn pudding and vegan creme. She also gave us cookies and two cups of that delicious special water to go. That special water is hands down one of the best drinks I've ever had. Prices range $22-30. -eel Helen pho roll 5 - not real eel but this was very tasty. I like that the rolls don't fall apart easily. -crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi 5 - the bread has a crispy exterior and the inside is moist. The chestnuts and pineapple really pair well together. I devoured this fast. -duck wonton noodle soup 5 - I really like the broth and the noodles. -vegan corn pudding 5 - this has corn with some coconut. It's a light dessert. -vegan creme 5 - this tastes like the real thing. I honestly wanted more.

    Holy shit I am so impressed!!! We found street parking right in front. When we walked in we were…read moregreeted by Tran and seated right away. She went through the menu with us and gave us water. Water that tasted so freaking good! She mentioned the recipe is from the Middle East. Tran was so amazing! Plenty of seating inside. We found this restaurant on google searching vegan restaurants. This place did not disappoint. To be honest I knew it was going to be good cause being Vietnamese myself, my mom always used fresh ingredients!! Everything I ate tasted like my mom's cooking and that is extremely rare! Everything we ordered was 10/10!! I have no complaints from anything we ordered. It is expensive but you definitely pay for the quality of the food and you can taste it tooo! Can't wait to come back!!

This time I branched out and tried the Thai sausage fried rice and the fresh spring rolls for a takeout dinner, and I am so glad I did. They were absolutely right when they said my tummy would be happy. The experience started with a phone call to place my order, and the person who took it was immediately warm and friendly. When I came in to pick everything up, the ladies behind the counter were genuinely enthusiastic, not in a performative way, but in the way that people are when they're truly proud of what they're serving. They guaranteed I'd love it, and they delivered on that promise completely. It's rare to walk into a place and feel that kind of energy -- a team that's happy to be there and happy to feed you. That warmth is just as much a reason to come back as the food itself. And I will absolutely be coming back to keep working my way through the menu.

My boyfriend got the Spicy Noodles, and they were just as amazing. He had to force himself stop eating so he could enjoy the rest for his lunch the next day, haha. We finished with mango sticky rice, and unsurprisingly, it was incredible. You can't really go wrong with mango sticky rice in general, but this was warm, sweet, and fragrant. Can't wait until we are back in the area to stop by again!
