I was really sick and felt horrible, so I called for a to go order of the Chicken Pho. I asked for extra broth, mint, cilantro, lime, and jalapeños. At first she was a little confused, but I told her I was sick and looking for something to help kick my cold. This lady was SO SWEET! She basically doubled my entire order, and said, "this should be enough for 2-3 meals for you"! I swear this woman cured me. The pho was all I ate for 2 days straight (with other remedies of course) and I felt much better by the end of it. Pho Minh has officially become my go-to spot because of this experience. EXCEPTIONAL service and great food!! Highly recommend! read more

Pho Minh & Grill - Double order chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

One of my go-to Vietnamese restaurants in this area ( Spring Valley/casa de Oro/ Rancho San Diego). Simple mom and pop restaurant in this tiny plaza. Don't skip out on it, it is more than meets the eye. With an extensive menu, you're sure to find something to hit that hunger spot. I usually order to go, but there is limited seating available inside. My favorite? Number 1 pho combo Spring rolls Shrimp and beef rice combo Thai tea read more

Very limited seating inside but enough for small groups of no more than 4-6. Order and pay first at the front counter and they bring it out to you. I tried the chicken pho and the veggie egg rolls. The egg rolls were great! So crispy and fresh. The pho was great in flavor but I was a little disappointed how chewy the chicken was. I did enjoy that it was chicken breast but it was obvious it was boiled and was tough to chew. I'd be back! It wasn't busy inside but they seem to donating takeout. read more

Pho P1 Special combo with slices of rare beef, fatty brisket, tendon, tripe, and flank is the truth. Not the best broth I've had, but exactly what I needed for lunch. Served with bean sprouts, vanilla, lime, jalapeños. Excellent customer service, clean dining area, soothing background music. Definitely will return. read more

This is such a nice mom and pop place I wish them all the best. The food is spectacular guys. The broth is very authentic and not over done like all the other places that try to be fancy. It's very cozy and intimate. However, it makes me sad we were the only one in there. The service is superb and the appetizers tickled all my fancy. You should try the crispy tofu. I've never eaten tofu that crispy. 10 out of 10. Spring rolls were fresh and the vegetables also looked fresh. Perfect place to take the whole family. read more

Honestly the food is really good but don't go unless you're white or of some Asian ethnicity. The treatment towards others is so very obviously worse and it's so unfortunate to experience. But only from one specific younger lady who works there she always seems to be super short and pissed for any order. She rushes her orders like it's in and out but doesn't even take the orders accurately god forbid she re read the order to us to make sure it's correct. read more

Go to spot close by. Quick service and I always order over the phone for easy pick up. read more

Over all good pho place! The service was awesome. Great staff. The place was small but had all you needed. Parking is not bad! Bathroom available. We got the pho which was yummy, broth was golden, sweet and yummy. Spring rolls were also a hit! Will come again. read more

The food was really good, and MOST of the employees were kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, one younger female employee completely changed the experience for me. She had a very rude attitude and spoke to customers in a way that came across as disrespectful and unprofessional. Based on other reviews, it seems I'm not the only customer who has had this experience, which makes it seem like this isn't just a one time issue. I'm giving this place 3 stars because I genuinely feel bad for the older gentleman, who I believe is the owner. He seemed kind, and the diner itself is cute with great food. But whether the younger woman is his daughter or another employee, I really hope she works on how she treats customers. The people walking through the door are the reason a business succeeds, and treating them with kindness and respect goes a long way. I hope this is taken as constructive feedback because this place has the potential to be a great local spot. read more

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. read more

What really stands out at Pho Minh & Grill are the pork crispy egg rolls, Chicken Wings, Vegetarian Egg Rolls, and the Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce read more

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+++++ read more

I'm gate keeping the shiz out of this place!! They're my favorite pho place in a way nowhere will compare

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. read more

The service was awful. When I enter a restaurant I expect to be greeted and at acknowledged with a smile. The cashier was very rude. She acted as if we were bothering her when she took our order. The ambience was abrasive. The other members were also rude. They looked right through us as if we didn't exist. The only reason I didn't leave was because my grandson wanted pho for his birthday and they were the only one still open in the area. when I told my daughter about the service she told me she experienced the same rudeness and discontent There are other pho restaurants that actually treat people as human beings. This is definitely not a place where they value customers at all. Find another restaurant. There is one on Campo Rd that is great. Go there instead. read more

If you are looking for a lunch and dinner that will be filling not only for the belly, but for the soul, come to Pho Minh. I have come for several lunches to destress because the energy of this place is so relaxed. The team plays calming, meditative music. Think spa music. And while it is in a busy strip with a gas station, you cannot hear the outside noise inside. And other diners mostly -- and thankfully -- keep quiet as well. We may all be here for the same mood. Hands down, the two best things on the menu are the P1 and the garlic shrimp. I order my pho without noodles, and with a side of rice instead. A small is hefty enough for a serving. I once ordered the large and was overwhelmed by the size and did not finish. The broth has a deep but not too oily flavor and texture. It is excellent on its own. P1 comes with brisket, tripe, tendon and tripe -- all the fixings. They provide an ample side of basil and sprouts as well. Only the jalapenos are never spicy. And no Ngo Gai -- not sure if they serve it here. And they are not always generous with the meats, so you may have to ask for an extra side. I've done this and have heard other guests doing this same. Same with the spring rolls. Lots of lettuce and much less going on in the Department of Other Flavors. The garlic shrimp -- chef's kiss! Delicious! If you are ravenous, you can have it as a solo appetizer but, really, it is best shared among two people. If you devour this dish on your own, don't be ashamed. Honestly, you won't. It's that good. But you must love garlic. I will say that my absolute pho in San Diego is still Pho Ca Dao. But Pho Minh takes the second place, by far. And I will keep coming back for the ambiance, the delicious offerings -- which have always been VERY fresh in all my experiences there -- and the kind and attentive staff. read more

Was under the weather and craving pho , place is close to home . A little skeptical, but the man who took my order was so nice and welcoming w/great service. Took my order to go and food was HOT ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Who knew that Casa D'Oro/Spring Valley would have a few good Viet Places. Pho Minh & Grill is on the smaller side and in the corner of a strip mall, but they have the BEST pho in the area. It's a small restaurant so seating is a bit cozy, but totally worth it for the food. The broth was spot on and they had the freshest veggies to go along with it. Definitely the best pho in East County. Don't have to go all the way to Mira Mesa or Convoy if you're looking to satisfy that hankering! read more

My go to pho place when I don't want to drive all the way to Convoy! Pho tastes authentic. Fried egg rolls are a hit too. And my husband loves their pork and shrimp vermicelli bowls. read more

Pho Minh & Grill - Front of restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

What I wanted to address is the service experience. Most of the staff are very polite, but one of the female staff members has consistently been rude. I'm only sharing this to help improve your customer experience.The food itself is amazing, and despite these issues, I would still return because of the quality. However, I've had multiple problems with my orders. On one occasion, the same staff member did not write down part of my order. When I asked if everything was inside the bag, she said yes, but when I got home, I discovered items were missing. More recently, my soup lid was not properly closed, causing it to spill, and my order was incorrect again. I hope you all have a great day, and this is why I chose to give a 3-star rating for this restaurant. read more

Unfortunately, I had the worse service here today usually there is a really friend amazing guy the owner but when he apparently is not there a younger lady is there who gives the worse customer service. Additionally, I watched her brush off a table after someone left and let the crumbs just stay on the floor. I thought oh she must be coming back to sweep that but no. It just makes you second guess how clean your food is and if you are getting ready to get sick. Again so sad that I will never go here again but I used to but if the owner is not around then I would be very concerned. I hate to be mean and always wonder if someone is just having a bad day but sorry if this deals with things you ingest that can make you sick all that disgustingness and then hopefully you do not have to be placed next to the bathroom when she let the door stay cracked open - it was just too much. If you are a little desperate hungry and craving ok go but if you can go closer to Campo Rd there is another one that is always very clean (but some times has a longer wait) but you will have a peace of mind. read more

Royal mandarin who????? This mom and pop shop is located in spring valley. The food is made fresh to order unlike places like royal mandarin and golden shop sticks that cook in bulk buffet style. I got the fried rice $6 and the salt and pepper shrimp shell off $12. I called in my order and Tony was super helpful. By the time I drove to pick up my to go order it was ready. The inside is small and intimate. The food was so fresh and hot and flavorful. I would definitely recommend them over any other place for salt and pepper shrimp or chicken in the entire city! Also, thanks for great customer service Tony! read more

Woman at the front counter is very rude , lettuce always has bugs and the pho is over priced. Plenty of other pho places with better service. read more

Very disappointed with my order today. When this restaurant first opened they put care into their product and it was delicious. I've increasingly noticed how their food appears and tastes fresh some days and other days like today NOT. Today the chicken wing crust was soggy yet the center meat part was dry when other days it's crispy and fresh, the shrimp fried rice was gummy and the chicken in the stir fry noodles was hard. You could clearly tell it was all old food just reheated. My family members were also complaining about the lack of freshness. I feel like I wasted my hard earned cash and I'm praying I do not get sick because it tasted like someone grabbed it from the frig and threw it in the microwave. Just smh. If this happens one more time I'll take my business and dollars elsewhere. read more

Pho Minh & Grill - Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Have been passing by this place for over 10 years and finally decided to pop in. Cold night and was craving pho. First impression, place is small with maybe 2 dozen seats. There were 3 people in front of us. Waited around and finally someone from the back came, greeted and sat us. For appetizers we ended up ordering shrimp spring rolls, crispy tofu. My entree was Pho with rare steak and tripe and the fiancé had grilled shrimp Vermicelli noodles. And we both ordered Strawberry Green Tea with boba. The two that somewhat disappoint were the entrees. The noodles that came with the pho were a bit hard like it needed to be blanched a bit. I let it sit in the broth for a while before the consistency was to my liking. Oh and they forgot the tripe. I should've mentioned it but I thought I made the mistake of ordering without it. Also the side herbs were slim. On the Vermicelli grilled shrimp, I wish there were more of the toppings: lettuce, cucumbers, etc. I felt the amount of noodles overwhelmed the dish. The fish sauce dressing for the noodles was the delish tho. So not bad, just ok. But the rest of the food was pretty good. Loved the peanut sauce that came with the shrimp spring rolls, the crispy tofu was crispy on the outside and soft melt in your mouth in the inside. It's pretty much vegetarian version of salt & pepper wings. The green tea was amazing and the boba soft and chewy. read more

Somewhere around 1200 today I was feeling pretty lousy and totally exhausted by the time I got home. Luckily for me this place is on its Pho game! Need a solid Pho spot!? This is your "jackpot" stop around Rancho SD! This is a solid place! Ordered the P11 to go and out the door in less than 5 minutes! 15 minutes later I was saturated in delicious broth and spicey-salty lime Culantro!!! I didn't even have time to take picture! read more

A true diamond in the rough. Located in a gas station shopping strip so parking is limited but the food is really good! Pho is so delicious and flavorful, crispy tofu is so yummy (I always ask for extra garlic and hot pepper), grilled chicken rice dish is very good as well. I always call in my order on the way home and 20 mins later it's ready for pick up! So convenient. Give them a try if you're near or passing through...you will not be disappointed!! read more
