Large Pho Tai Nam ($15.95) - This was a delicious, substantial bowl of pho loaded with rare steak and flank! The broth was so comforting and flavorful, too. It's now in my top 3 North County pho spots -- check it out!

DO NOT EAT HERE. There was a COTTON SWAB in my pho. It is absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable. I quite literally wanted to throw up. If it was in the broth, it means it's technically contaminated everyone's pho. If this is the level of hygiene at this place, imagine what else could be happening in the kitchen. What was worse was their reaction to my complaint. They kept saying they'll make me a new pho without even apologizing like that's gonna make up for it. I said I don't need it because I lost my appetite PLUS why would I want to eat ANYTHING you make. They kept insisting and I said no so they just ended up comping the pho. They barely apologized right before I left with a single "sorry". Do not eat here.

Love the clear noodle chicken soup and always order a side of steamed veggies. So tasty and fresh! Service is prompt, and the restaurant is light and bright. I find myself jamming out to the old school tunes

Everything was delicious. Service was amazing. Thank you to the people for being so nice.

My husband and I went to Pho San Marcos for the first time. Our waiter was welcoming and gave us good service. Everything we ordered was delicious! For our appetizer we ordered shrimp tempura- loved that it was not oily and had a light crunch. For our main dishes, we shared pork noodle soup and broken rice with Vietnamese steamed meatloaf and pork chop. We are empty nesters so we go out to eat a lot so trust me this a must! Bonus, one of the cleanest restaurants and restrooms.

To-go chicken broth

1st time: Dined in. in soup but quickly replaced. 2nd time: Ordered to-go extra chicken broth for sick kids. in broth. We'll still come back.

This was such a cute place. The weather was perfect for pho soup. The staff were so friendly and funny. The broth was ok, noodles and meat were superb. They had such great hospitality and gave us a slice of cake at the end.

Food is consistently good everytime we come here and it's about once a week. Never had any issues. Clean and friendly service too. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian vermicelli noodle salad

We ended up here because Bahn Mi San Marcos was closed next door. Are they related? My manager and I were greeted and seated right away for a Tuesday lunch. We are both vegetarians and they have a section of their menu for us, which I like when restaurants make it easy like that. I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad and my manager ordered the fried rice. We both enjoyed our meals and finished it all! I thought the veggie eggrolls were great along with the noodles and fresh veggie. The bowl of fish sauce was the perfect amount; I dumped it all in! I also ordered their thai iced tea with boba and enjoyed it the rest of the afternoon at work.

Love the restaurant sign

Chef's Pho & Grill in San Marcos is a hidden gem that captures the perfect mix of traditional…read moreVietnamese flavor and modern comfort. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this restaurant takes pride not only in the food but also in the atmosphere. The space is bright, clean, and well-organized, with a calm energy that makes dining here both relaxing and enjoyable. The menu offers an incredible variety--pho, rice dishes, noodles, sandwiches, boba drinks, and more--so it's easy to find something that suits your taste. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors that stand out. A must-try appetizer is the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. They arrive fresh and neatly wrapped, with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked shrimp, and that creamy, nutty peanut sauce that ties everything together. Light yet satisfying, they're a great way to start your meal. Another standout is the pork sandwich (Bánh Mì), which feels like a labor of love. The baguette is toasted just right--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--filled with tender, flavorful pork that's marinated to perfection. Add in the pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapeños, and sprigs of cilantro, and you get an amazing balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Each bite is a perfect mix of texture and taste, making it one of the best Bánh Mì sandwiches you'll find in North County. Don't miss the fried rice, a fragrant and well-seasoned dish that's both comforting and rich. The only minor drawback is that the protein--such as chicken, shrimp, or beef--comes separately. Still, the quality makes it worthwhile. For drinks, the boba teas are superb--smooth, not overly sweet, and made with fresh tapioca pearls that have just the right chew. While parking can sometimes be tricky, Chef's Pho & Grill more than makes up for it with its excellent food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're craving a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or a refreshing drink, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

I rarely comment good things about the bathrooms anywhere, but their bathroom was very clean. Went in there to wash my hands and came out actually feeling cleaner rather than dirtier (like at other places). The soap and paper were well stocked. There wasn't a nasty odor and the floors were clean. I'm impressed! This place is also one of the few pho places that I've been to with egg crepes. I was also impressed with the generous meat portion in their pho. Their water was nice and cold. Didn't taste like tap. Only little thing is that their napkins are difficult to grab at the table when too fully stocked. Would I come back here? Yeah! I'm going to bring more people here too!

When it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, there are plethora to choose from in Vista, California…read more I recently discovered Tasty Phô, which is a small, locally-owned, family-owned shop outside of downtown. They are located just off of Santa Fe Ave. in a small shopping strip. The interior is very simple, with very little decor. It is also very small and only allows for about 25 customers seating. Although there is booth seating for groups of four, this place is best for solo or date-dining. The service here is fast, friendly and very welcoming. This is because it is owned by a husband, wife and son; so there is a very personal touch when it comes to customer service. I've come here twice and so far I really love the no. 46 pork vermicelli noodles, their egg rolls, spring rolls, and their combination phô soup. It is important to note that there is pork in their eggrolls and I love how crispy they are. All of the meats in my meals were delicious! Their menu is priced very affordably with the majority of the items costing under $15. They appear to be very popular for delivery service services, such as DoorDash and Uber eats. There were also many people who did pick-up. Although I could wish for more ambience inside with some music, I can appreciate that there's ample parking in their shared lot and they have a clean bathroom. If you happen to be in Vista and want to support a small, family-owned business that serves delicious Vietnamese cuisine, I highly recommend Tasty Phô.
