    Pork vermicelli bowl
    Alice C.

    Service was simple and quick. Food came out pretty quick as well! Looked very authentic, flavors were authentic, only comment I have is regarding the pork (slightly on the fattier side) but still very good. The interior has a large mural in the back and there are colorful lanterns hanging around the restaurant that give it a cozy environment.

    The food is amazing, the service is the best around. The ambiance is perfect. This is THE Pho spot. There isn't a thing better around becuase this is THE spot!

    Pork bun plate with egg rolls   N8. Bun Cha Gio Thit

    This is our go to for Vietnamese food. We usually use Doordash but have been inside before. Tonight we ordered the Bun bowls with pork and egg rolls. It was the perfect filling meal for a summer night. Very good size portions and tasty. The small egg roll ( spring rolls) actually seemed bigger than I remember. We also got a spam spring roll ( not the fried tyoe). My husband loves Spam so he had to try it. It was good still had that light taste and had something crunchy inside. They have really good broth for their pho. I often just get a small cup of that. Sometimes to dip a barn mi into it

    Yellow Curry Coconut Thai Soup with steamed rice and pork in zero spicy level
    Cheryl-Ann C.

    A while ago, I remember ordering a takeout food here and they were slammed. I was getting frustrated because no one was acknowledging me if I received my order. Last week, I was able to convince my husband for us to go and eat there. I'm glad we did and definitely way better service and food was delicious. When you go in, you'll see a sign that says to grab your menus and find anywhere to sit. I'm assuming that's only when they're not busy. Priscilla, based from the other reviews, the owner, greeted us and took our order. Very patient with my hubby as he's picky and takes awhile to decide. When my hubby asked about their spice level, Priscilla assured him that they will get his order right if the spice level wasn't up to his liking. Our food were delicious and big portions as well. I love my Yellow Curry Coconut Soup with Pork. I usually have a hard time finding Thai places that can give me Yellow Curry in a zero spice level. When I took the leftovers home, my daughter who is as picky as my husband ate and enjoyed my meal. The workers were great and it's neat to see how they all work together. Priscilla essentially was the host, waitress, and cashier. I can tell that she's loved by her patrons because their conversations. I was fascinated with her being multilingual - English, Spanish and not exactly sure which Asian language she speaks. Thank you and will definitely come back to try the other food. So much food to try!

    Great vegan options. We got the tofu platter with garlic and onions and the Spicy coconut tom kha with tofu and veggies. So good!

    Pho
    Myphuong L.

    This family restaurant has been operating for 20 years! It's a stand alone building with plenty of parking. Their menu ranges widely in Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food. It's somewhere you want to go when you want a quick fix in Pho or Asian cuisine with affordable pricing. When you walk in, there's a sign that said "Grab a menu, seat yourself". We ordered pho, broken rice dish with bbq chicken/pork/shrimp, and spam spring rolls. The pho broth was too salty for our liking but squeezing lots of lime neutralized it. Came with lots of meat. Surprised to see broken rice dish on the menu in an area like this because most restaurants don't sell enough and end up wasting. But this place keeps it simple with only one choice. The bbq chicken and pork slices were thin and flavorful with 3 shrimps. I would have preferred more charred grill marks. Appreciate that the egg loaf was fresh and moist. I also loved how the veggies were sliced not whole. The spam spring rolls were not "American spam" but Vietnamese grilled pork paste. It was made fresh and it was bigger than my hand!

    Food was ready 10 mins after I called in an order. Had the original #1. The taste was authentic and my son was a huge fan of the raw beef. The soup base was also flavorful. Pricing was reasonable and I'm sure I'll stop by again before this vacation ends.

    Inside

    Honestly the best Pho place I've ever been to in the last 2 years. The owner Priscilla is the best and always show such hospitality and kindness when greeting me in. Highly recommend this place if you want the best tasting pho and a place where you can relax and enjoy your food!

    Sting rolls
    Pedro S.

    I been here a few times. The pho is great. The broth is tasty and rich. The string rolls are average but they have Plenty of parking and is good place for big groups. They have a Big menu with lots of drink options. Come try out and check it out for your self.

    I always come here to get pho to-go when I'm sick or just craving it. It's my favorite pho restaurant in Escondido. The broth is full of flavor and the meat is always tender. Cashier's are always friendly and the decor in the restaurant is tasteful.

    After a 1 week long cruise, my family and I wanted some good ol' soup somewhere. We couldn't stay too long in SD so we stopped in Escondido which is starting to get into SD county. Sadly.. Yelp led me astray this time. Aside from the attentive service, the pho broth was sweeter than I'd like and the beef from my dad's beef plate was too salty. On top of that, the rice was on the dry side. OC has spoiled me with amazing Viet food. Thankfully this looks like a popular Escondido spot so this 3 star review will just be sent to the abyss of highly rated Yelp reviews haha

    P34. Tom Kha Soup
    Cyndi L.

    Every time I order from this place, I forget to leave a review, but it is so good. It's so good. In fact the picture I'm gonna attach to this review. I forgot to take a photo because I scarfed it down so quickly. I love the to Tok Kha Soup it is so creamy and delicious and the broth is a dream. I get it with seafood as well as red meat. My husband got the pho with the rare steak. The broth on that is also delicious. The portions are awesome. I always have leftovers for the next day and having lived in multiple states, including Nevada, Arizona, and Tennessee and now California. This might be my favvvb PHO place.

    Is there msg in the pho?

    Hello there, Thanks for your inquiry, our standard beef broth does contain minimal msg however we do have another version of chicken pho broth which does not upon request.… 

    Has anyone ordered party trays, what is their price range?

    What are their vegan options/modifications?

    You can sub tofu for the meat on some entrees and they also have a section for vegetable options. The pho is always a meat based broth. "chay"=no meat in Vietnamese.

We ordered orange chicken, combo fried rice, wonton soup, and cream cheese puffs. Every single thing was delicious. The orange chicken had the perfect crispy texture with a sweet, tangy sauce. The fried rice actually had flavor, not just soy sauce dumped on top. Wonton soup was clean and comforting. And those cream cheese puffs? Golden and addictive. The prices are very fair, especially considering how good the food is and how generous the portions are. You can tell the family running it takes pride in what they're serving. The decor is authentic in that classic and comforting way. Now here's the thing. It might show up as a 3.5 star spot, but don't let that fool you. This place is a perfect example of the "3.5 star rule." It's the kind of place that's actually better than a lot of those hyped-up influencer-approved restaurants with inflated ratings. You come here once and you'll get it.

She is also incredibly generous with her portions whenever she serves you. Unfortunately, ever since the other employees were hired, the customer service seems to have gone downhill.

I still love the food and have a lot of respect for the owner, but I hope the staff can bring back some of that same energy and hospitality. The food deserves it, and so does the owner!

The BBQ pork was decent as well, although unfortunately I was given several burnt end pieces that were too hard/burnt for me to eat. There's definitely some room for improvement with the food, but between the great customer service and the items I did enjoy, I'm willing to give them another shot. I'll return and try something different next time.

Go to here are always the garlic green beans, and egg with wood ear mushrooms. The wood ear mushrooms are served warm, and I quite like them compared to the normal way I am accustomed to having them, cold and served in a vinegar-based sauce. Normally we will rotate in another item such as the Wontons in red chili oil, which are delicious.
