Service: Pretty quick ordering to-go. Kinda odd when order read back in their language so wasn't sure it was correct. Food: Pork bahn mi was ok, not great. (Two jalepenos with all the seeds making it very spicy, no pate, not the good pork belly I'm used to and huge cilantro stems making it unemployable). Thai iced coffee with boba and whipped cream was great. Fermented plum soda was a bad choice, very salty couldn't drink it. read more

Found this place via Yelp on the way back down from a Disney trip. We wanted a to go to a place that was right off the freeway from our trip and this place was easily accessible. There was no wait and we were seated quickly. Service was quick which we liked very much, especially when you're hungry. We started out with spring rolls and they are fresh and a good appetizer size. And followed by our bowls of Pho which came out right away. Flavor of the broth was perfect- not too salty, not too sweet, perfect balance. I highly recommend this restaurant for your pho fix. read more

Favorite Pho place in O'Side. I frequent this spot almost weekly! Great pho and vermicelli noodles dishes.

I am Vietnamese, so eating pho is the thing that I had been eating and tasting for the last sixty years. Some restaurants were good at first few times when they were opening, then slowly changed their cheaper recipes for more interest. With the new owner of pho Oceanside after two others, as I just knew around January of 2023. I would be honored to say that it is the best PHO in all southern of California which included Little Saigon and San Diego. But also much cheaper to compare with others as well. As of now as I am reviewing this Pho Oceanside is April 20, 2023. Hopefully, they will keep the same taste as they are now, then I will always come back for it. read more

Been coming here for a while and it's by far the best pho we've had in the Oceanside / Carlsbad area

Prices have increased with the new year. Smaller meat portions in the pho and fried rice.

Pho and Bun Thit Nuong/Rice Vermicelli with beef we're fabulous! Lots of meat and fresh vegetables. Customer service great: food came out fast and the servers were very friendly. read more

I went here today with my 4 month old baby boy. I ordered a small P11 pho with an order of shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls were pretty tasty, the pho was subpar. I'm a breastfeeding mama so I need to get adequate protein. I was shocked to see there was only 3 pieces of meat, compared to other pho places that usually load it up. Not once did anyone come to my table to ask how my food was, or refill my water. The worst part was, the man who rung up my tab stole money from me. My tab was $22, I gave him $40, and he gave me $13 back. I didn't notice at first that he stole the money, but found out later when I got home. Out of the $13 I left him a $5 tip(which was a mistake, because the service was not great, but I always try to be a good tipper) but the way he handed me my money was VERY off. He put the money down, as I was picking it up, he slowly put another dollar down while looking at me, as if I would notice that it was a dollar bill and not the extra $5 that he owed me. I thought the way he looked at me was extremely weird, but didn't think someone(especially a professional business) would be capable of stealing from a mother with a very small baby. I'm EXTREMELY disappointed and do not recommend this place. Very dishonest. It's hard enough to go out in this economy with small children, and shady places like this make a rare occasion that's supposed to be special VERY awful. read more

My +1 and I used to be regulars here, but we moved and it's been about a year since we've come by. We were glad to see that it's still the place we remembered! We've always loved the pho here. A few years back, we literally ate here almost weekly (I should have been checking in!) and if I wasn't in a pho mood, I'd either eat the vermicelli noodles with beef and chicken, the udon noodles with chicken (more of a standard Chinese food taste, but better quality) or even a banh mi pork sandwich. All were fantastic. This time, however, I was craving pho. I've eaten pho all over Orange County and yet I prefer to head a little further south to O'side. Maybe it's just the familiarity, but I love it here the best. Anyway, I ordered the P1-large, a mix of various cuts of beef and noodles. The broth was full of flavor as allways, and I added just a little side of sautee to give it an extra smoky kick. The cuts of beef were tender and delicious. The noodles were filling. I was completely satisfied. Oh, I forgot to mention the sides. My +1 and I have never found better spring rolls. Everywhere else we've gone, either the outside is too chewy, or the vegetables aren't crisp, or even the peanut sauce is watery. Not here. The rolls are delicate, the vegetables are fresh, and the peanut sauce is rich and thick. I'd recommend them with no hesitation. We also ordered the usual egg rolls, which were crisp and hot. The fish sauce always adds another dimension to them. I wrapped mind in lettuce and added some sriracha sauce because I like them spicy. Overall, this stop felt like a homecoming. The senior staff recognized us as old regulars and welcomed us "back home." Thanks for a trip down memory lane and a couple of satisfied bellies. We're glad this place is still dependable. We'll have to make a point to head back this way more often. read more

Started getting take out from this restaurant during Covid and everything was always hit and packed with care. Now that restrictions have eased I've eaten here several times in person and the people that work there are very kind. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a restaurant in a little strip mall but the food is on point. I usually get the rare steak pho and spring roll and it's always perfect. Today I decided to branch out and try their spicy ramen which I was worried might be too hot but the owner said he'd make it to my spicy level and it was delicious. Might be my new favorite soup. read more

This is my go to Pho restaurant in Southern California. Everything here is top notch. The food, service and the portions!! The picture I've attached is their SMALL bowl. I am a 6 foot 3 inch tall man who weighs 190lbs and I still couldn't finish this bowl. They are very generous with their portions. I also ordered spring rolls which were phenomenal! There's nothing much to say besides this place is a 10/5 and if you haven't ate here; you are missing out!! read more

Fantastic food! The pho soup is all incredible -- and some of the best pricing around! The little crispy egg rolls are a must have! My husband loves the pork vermicelli! Inhave always found the staff to be very friendly and thoughtful. Check this place out! read more

Delicious and authentic. Kind staff. Unassuming which is always the best surprise. We will be back!

I'm not impressed at all. I don't eat meat, so only a few items on the menu appealed to me. I asked our server if anything had mushrooms in it. She pointed to a picture on the menu and stated that it looked like it contained mushrooms, so I ordered that. It did not come with any mushrooms. Don't you think that someone who makes a living serving food in a restaurant would know something about the food being served? This noodle dish was greasy, mostly noodles, with very few veggies, but the tiny shrimp were delicious. My friends said that their soups were just ok. There's nothing here to warrant a return visit. read more

Love the food here! Way more flavorful than any other pho place in Oceanside! Service is okay but food is so worth it

Service is horrible at this spot. There's an old angry dude that runs the FOTH and he's awful. Pho is decent. Has MSG. Bathrooms are filthy, lots of broken toilets, urinals and monster cockroaches! See pics. read more

I've moved to SD but still come back to eat here whenever I'm in town. I love their pho, it's so delicious!! The owners are so nice. The waiters are on top of it- filling water glasses without you needing to even ask. Their food is so yummy and at a super great cost! An appetizer and a small bowl of pho only cost me 15 +tip. read more

Here on vacation and wanted to try a Pho while here.... Pho Oceanside was very good! Nice sit-down restaurant, the appetizers and main dishes were served fast and HOT!! The Chicken Pho was great! I love the fact that they shred the chicken as opposed to other places serving slices. My wife said her steak Pho was great as well and prepared perfect. There was 4 of us and the bill was only $63 so the price was great as well!! We will definitely be returning here whenever we're in town!! read more

Pho broth is flavorful and delicious. Not to mention since everything is now takeout, they pack their pho in these awesome to-go bowls which makes everything so easy. The combination fried rice is delish with lots of meats and shrimp. Spring rolls are very fresh, egg rolls are yum and they make a good Thai tea. The service is great and we enjoy supporting local especially in these times. Highly recommend. read more

Pho Oceanside - Vietnamese crepe - Vietnamese Near Me - Oceanside, California

Pit stop on the drive to SD and it was a nice surprise. Tried some pho, some bun, and a crepe. All were good and prices were slightly high but reasonable. I liked the broth flavor as well as the noodles for both dishes. The crepe was pretty oily but good nonetheless. The inside is a bit dark and dingy and smells a bit off but there is plenty of seating and parking. Service was a bit, uh, reserved. If you like warm and friendly you may be disappointed. Just there for the food? Good odds of enjoyment. read more

Ordered take out dinner tonight. My gawd was it bad. Started with the ordering process. Wasn't answering the phone. Drove over and ordered and the lady working was rude and doesn't understand.

Well, felt like Vietnamese food so did a search and Pho Oceanside came up so took a look at the pic and menus. I ordered Pho Tai, Shrimp spring rolls and Egg rolls. The Pho was good and so were the spring rolls but the Egg rolls were awesome crunchy deliciousness, there were awesome. I love Eggrolls and got them from Garden Grove but these are just as good or better... Sorry no photo's due to eggrolls. . . read more

Was in Carlsbad for a meeting and was starving. Did a search for Pho on Yelp and I found this place. It's a small place, the owner/employees are very nice. I ordered the following: Chicken Wing Appetizer: $6.20 - Huge wings, very good, very flavorful and juicy. A little on the salty side (on the skin) but still very good. Pho with rare beef, tendon and tripe: $6.50 - Delicious. Huge portion, tons of meat and veggies. If I'm in Oceanside, I will definitely go here again. read more

This place has delicious food and great service! I like their grilled pork spring rolls and pho ga!

I love coming to this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed and settled. There are plenty of tables and booths in the restaurant and of course, the friendly service. There is also a private section for a decent size crowd. I got the P1. in a large size, which is the house special that contains rice noodles, rare steak, well done brisket, flanks, tendons and tripe. Also includes your toppings of bean sprouts, basil and lime ( added a lot in mine). The broth is already amazing but I love to add the extra spices to turn things up a notch. Aside from Pho, they also create satisfying dishes from noodle bowls, rice dishes and desserts. If you are ever looking for a good place for Pho in town, try here, they don't disappoint. read more

I've been eating at Pho Oceanside since moving to Oside 6 years ago. I've eaten at the restaurant twice and all other times have been to-go. They're my hangover spot and no way am I sitting inside looking like a hot mess. I've been ordering takeout well before Coronavirus and they are still spot on with quick, hot meals and super friendly service. My toddler's school is nearby and the last time we ordered from here we did so in-person. The lady who took my order was so nice and we had a friendly convo about kids and Coronavirus and all that. My daughter and I played outside while waiting and the lady brought the bagged food out to me when it was ready. The pho is delish, even when taking it home. They take great care wrapping everything separate and it is still piping hot when I get home. Egg rolls are favorite #2. Superb stuff guys. Support local. read more

I warmed up to Pho Oceanside. On my first visit I didn't order well with the pork fried rice. It was fine, but I should have added more fixins like extra meat and veggies. I didn't realize the fried rice itself is more like a blank slate to which you add color, flavor, texture, etc. I thought I was being frugal but I was really punishing myself unnecessarily. Imagine getting the base car model and being too cheap to spring for power steering, windows and door locks. My rookie mistake was made worse by my buddy ordering a beautiful rice vermicelli full of hearty veggies and color. He loved his lunch. Very happy for him. Thankfully my boring choice was made tasty enough to enjoy thanks to excellent hot sauce. This week I returned alone for redemption. I'm far from an expert when it comes to pho but the P2 pho was great. The broth was flavorful and rich, and it was light on the anise flavor that has turned me off to pho in the past. I added the bean sprouts, a little mint (very little - personal preference) and squeezed the lemon, and all the flavors bum rushed me in my first sip of broth. Add to that the rare steak, brisket, flank, tendon and tripe, and the pho was a home run. Awesome. Even the small bowl of pho is HUGE, but I wanted to try a grilled pork sandwich bahn mi too and ordered it anyway. The BBQ sauce rocked and really dressed up the odd but delicious cut sticks of pork and veggies, on great bread. The sandwiches sort of felt like an afterthought. They are on a whiteboard up front rather than on the menu. No matter. Mine rocked, especially when I dipped it into the pho. read more

This place looks shady from the outside but the Yelp reviews got me in. The older man at the register was very abrupt told me to have a seat. Then he left and younger guy Mike came in and started taking orders from people after me so I got up right away to place my order to go. He was nice, the typical forced son/family member to work there. I asked to make the pork well done and some rude lady waitress snaps back "we always make it well done, sit there". I told her I'll be outside at my car and she gave me a dirty look. I came back and asked her if that was my order in the corner table and she said "you have to wait". I put up with bad Asian service when the food is good but unfortunately this is the worse pork and egg roll rice vermicelli I've ever had! The pork was thick, too fatty, sausage type, and cooked medium. I'm comparing this to San Diego, NYC and SF! I see why the high reviews due to the lack of Asian spots in the area. One of the few times Yelp has let me down. We will not be back! read more
