    Rare beef pho
    Kiyomi F.

    Service was good, the restaurant was small and practically empty when we went. Pho was okay, little too sweet for my personal preference. The inside of the restaurant was nice & clean, nothing out of the ordinary.

    What a great little gem. Excellent pho, super tasty and fresh. We were so impressed with the very friendly service and the delicious, authentic food. The vegetarian pho was perfect, very flavorful which is not always the case with veggie. The veggies were fresh and delicious. The others had the steak and brisket and loved it as well. So glad we found this restaurant. We will definitely be back.

    Located in a busy shopping plaza is this little pho shop that was a pleasant surprise to my friend and I! We stopped in and were surprised at the portion sizes of their pho bowls! Service was pleasant, and the speed of food delivery from ordering was so fast! I ordered a rare steak pho but the steak slices looked more well than rare, not like cooking the meat in the hot broth itself. Not an issue, it was still delicious! I did enjoy the lighter broth flavor, it didn't have a strong anise flavor lost pho places I have been to usually has. We did order the shrimp and pork spring rolls which were also delicious, and came with a generous amount of fillings! If in the area I would definitely come again!

    the food is always good, the place is nice and clean. Fast service. I drove another hour and a half to eat here. You should give this place a try.

    Menu. Chinese (and Korean) items .. and drinks!

    This is our new favorite Vietnamese go-to place in Oceanside! We've been here a handful of times and have also ordered take out. This is your standard no-frills restaurant. There are tables of 2 along the window and larger tables throughout the space. They have great service all around! They are quick and attentive, and if you're here for lunch - they know how to do the lunch rush right! Food. * French fries. $5.99. Great option for kids but very bland even though it has seasoning. * Chicken chow fun. $13.99. Doesn't look like the photo on the menu, but it is packed with flavor. Definitely a good choice if you'd like noodle dishes. * Chicken fried rice. $14.99. Has your standard peas and carrots with small bits of egg. A good rice dish! * Steak and brisket pho. $13.99. This is my favorite here so far! The broth is good and there's good balance of meat and noodles. There's only one size (large) and it's filling! * Rare and well done pho. $13.99. We ordered this to-go and the attention was really in the details! The rare steak was perfectly packed separately, which I appreciated! * Kids pho is complimentary, but the broth was lacking. Not sure what kind of broth it was - but maybe chicken broth or something simple would be better. My kids typically like pho but weren't excited about it here. If you're looking for chicken pho, or banh mi's they offer them now! It's currently not on the menu but they just added them so just ask! Oh! And if you like Vietnamese coffee, they do it right! Get it strong, you won't regret it. It's the best I've had in this general vicinity! They have so many great items from pho to hot dishes! If you like Vietnamese food, give them a try. Welcome to the neighborhood Pho Ocean Garden!

    Definitely the best pho in the area. Apparently I go there too often, and now they know our order when we walk in. We always get rare steak pho, a classic. Bean sprouts and basil are always super fresh. And they have limes now!

    The food was great. The restaurant was also very clean. The waitress and waiter had excellent service.

    I have been here once and was impressed by the food and the service.; The food here is fresher and tastier than the food at most other Vietnamese restaurants in the Oceanside area. I was able to get my order filled quickly and am really happy that I came here- I was really hungry and and definitely was NOT disappointed in any way. The people who work here try hard to please their customers.

    house special
    Tina H.

    Delicious pho! I paid 15.99 for a huge bowl of house special (brisket, tendon and meatballs) and 4.99 for a yummmmy Thai tea. Service is fast, everyone is friendly and the menu looks great with lots of options. Newly opened, about 6 months ago! Happy to have a great and authentic local Viet/pho spot! Looking forward to trying their Vietnamese coffee next! They brew their own thai tea in house for 6 hours!

It took me a minute to really decide what I wanted and now I'm craving to come back. I am not surprised how busy it was when we arrived. It definitely confirmed this place is really good. We ordered the cranberry turkey sandwich, Italian and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup to share with an extra side order of sourdough. The sourdough alone was phenomenal. Crusty exterior with a fluffy interior that just melted! I think I scarfed down my sandwich a little too quickly because everything was balanced so well, and the bread absolutely divine. The soup was also great, and paired extremely well with the sourdough bread. I wished there was a location closer to me, however if I'm in the area I will always opt to come here!

The only downside is the parking lot, it's small and not the best, but there is parking available. Overall, well worth a visit for a quality sandwich. The location has ample seating inside and is always clean.

Lately, I've been searching for a new go-to pho spot, and this place is definitely climbing back up my list. The staff was professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The dining room, bathrooms, tables, and sauce stations were all well maintained. I also appreciated the hand sanitizer available at every table small detail, but a nice touch. I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.

We settled on Oceanside in hopes of finding good food, as our weekend (end of Feb) had been full of a poor results. This place came up as very well rated on Yelp, as my friend and I searched for places to eat. It was a Saturday night with great weather. The red flag I should have read into was that the lone guy working that night was a one man show. He was doing it all in the front of the house. I tried to get us a table to sit outdoors but he just couldn't get to the table to clean it. After about 20 minutes he finally came and just moved all the bowls to the empty table next to it and wiped it down. When my friends finally arrived we all sat down to sticky menus that had NO descriptions. What you see on the website is exactly what they have on the menu. We had to wait to ask the server/host what each menu item meant. It took a while to get our food from when we ordered. Thank goodness for good company, I didn't clock it. The food options were limited and keep in mind for those who have children, most of the options come with a spicy kick, you'll have to explicitly tell them "no spicy"! There was a party who had been sitting for a while before we got there and a kiddo took a bite of pizza and was crying, screaming from it being so spicy. With my ramen the portions are tiny for what you pay, with 1 piece of meat, not enough noodles. Flavor wise it was spicy and bland. We ordered a couple appetizers which were not very good. The edamame was overly salty and soaked in soy sauce and the karaage was probably the only good thing and that was a little overfried. No one in our party finished our food or took any of the leftovers home. Save yourself the trip, not worth trying the "unique foods".
