After learning that this place was under new ownership since we've been over a decade ago, we decided to give this place another try and it did not disappoint. Walking in, we were greeted right away and seated. Wasn't too busy for a Saturday night around 7:30pm. The decor was more modern, with a really cool city mural painted on the wall. Our server was friendly, quick and efficient. He was an older man with a good sense of humor which we loved. Our party of 3 ordered various beef pho's. We were all happy with our soups, hot, tasty, delicious with all the fixings. Definitely satisfied our pho cravings. We ordered our taro boba drinks and Vietnamese coffee to go. The taro smoothie was delicious, however the boba in it was a bit hard. The coffee was also delicious. It was a really good visit and happy to have returned. Looking forward to returning and trying more dishes on their menu. read more

Stopped by during a hot day. Oddly enough I ordered pho. Went with their #13 which is their special with all the fixings. Came hungry left full and dripping of sweat. I wasn't complaining though. I really enjoyed my meal. Especially the iced water with a sliver of lime. The pho, was perfect and very flavorful. I was helped by a two man team. Friendly, efficient and quick. In and out in a blast and am in a food coma as leave this review. Very calm and relaxing place. Be back soon. read more

They remodeled the place and also made adjustment to some of the dishes, I believe. Had Bun Bo Hue today and it tasted better than before. Environment is nice and relaxing. Definitely will come back to try new dishes. read more

This is my go-to for pho. Excellent quality. Been coming here for years. Always delicious!

The place has potential, but it just felt average. It's worth a visit if you're in the area, but I'not sure if it's worth going out of your way for. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Come on yelp... all these five star reviews from accounts that have no friends and no other reviews cannot be real.... If you want the real review look at the 1 stars, those are the real people. This place is a bogus operation, theyre using this place for other purposes, its obvious theyre not wanting to run the restaurant. It's not just unsanitary, but theyre very rude. You can tell they dont care about your business, and how is it that they can afford rent if its dead here all the time? Ive been here like 5 times before deciding to stop after the server was rude to me for no reason. And everytime im here, right during lunch time, i am the only person here. The tables were all empty. That shouldve been a sign to get out. If you come here expecting good food, enjoy your fly soup pho and bacteria meats. If you come here expecting hospitality, enjoy being glared at by their staff and talked to like they want to start yelling for no reason. Ask to sit at a table "NO YOU SIT HERE!". Ask if they can make my pho in medium, "THERES ONLY LARGE" as he stomps his foot away not letting me reconsider my options. Yea i gave you no tip "whaaat no tippppp?" Yea no tip, go learn some people skills. read more

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. read more

Really sad to have to update my review, this was my go to pho spot but the owner has become rude and impatient. He rushes you to order. We often take friends to try it and our last visit, he was rolling his eyes and looked visually irritated that we weren't rushing to eat. The restaurant was empty but his frustration continued, so he put the music up super loud so that we wouldn't be able to hear each other anymore. It wasn't close to closing either. Lastly, there were a lot of flies, really gross. read more

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! read more

Pho San Marcos - Lemongrass Chicken, Tofu with Veges and BBQ Pork with Fried Egg with a side of Broth. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

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. read more

My fiancé and I come and dine here every chance we get when we are in San Marcos. Michael, Nikki and staff were super friendly and extremely helpful and always full of smiles. The food was flavorful and delicious. I had the Bun Bo Hue and my fiancé had the rare steak pho and it was huge and they were generous on the proteins! The veggies were fresh. Michael remembers what my fiancé order better than he can remember what he usually orders. The ambiance was pleasant and comforting as it should be for an eatery. The restaurant was clean. The decor was awesome. End note: this is a must try! We love it here and I think you will too! read more

One of the best pho places in north county. After moving here, I've been looking for a pho place similar to one near my home before. They have a cool fish tank by the cashier. The place seems to be here for a long time now. The floors are a little sticky in the bathroom. There were multiple tvs with different channels playing. Their egg rolls are alright. They were very hot but not super crispy like the other place I had before. I will try their other dishes in the future. 3% cash/zelle discount. $10 minimum for card read more

Michael is a very attentive server and is so nice! We loved the calm environment and the flavor of the food is always consistent and good! My favorite pho spot in San Marcos!! read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! The staff is incredible--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Michael especially stood out and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The pho gà was so yummy: rich, comforting broth with tender chicken and great flavor. You can also tell the restaurant has been upgraded recently--the facility is clean, modern, and very comfortable. This place really nails both great food and great service. Highly recommend! read more

I've been eating here regularly for a few years now. (Almost weekly) To see a 3 star rating because you thought it was expensive.. and portions small is extreme. Everything else was great.. food was good.. service was good..hmmm. The idiot who thinks SD's best is PCD has never eaten real pho. I can't believe someone would try and show a Qtip. Where would that come from at a restaurant? REALLY. I call BS. So now... my wife and I have this as our place to get our favorite food. Yes.. food is excellent... Service is excellent. Price is the same or cheaper compare to other places. Balance that with a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and it becomes your "GoTo" place. Just look at all of the 5 start reviews and you know the bad ones are wrong. read more

You know this was a very unexpected find for me. I was initially thinking banh mis and yelp led me to the place next to this...but we were leaning towards noodles and ended up going into this place. Only one other table was present (this was about 11am ish). I got the BBH which was a decent choice. The broth was tasty and it had plenty of ingredients: pork blood, pork loaf, no pig hock tho, some other meats. The broth could use more shrimp paste or at least that's what I prefer. Noodles were definitely overcooked though... near mushy texture. Overall, it tastes good but there were some misses with the bbh. On the other hand my hubs ordered vermicelli (dry) and he said that was delicious! read more

As you can see, I've eaten and to-goed here countless times even before the renovation. Why 2 stars review? I'll tell you. Pho's good. Little msg, this is the closest to the good pho I've had that I can find near by me. Went with my partner, brought friends many times. My order's always been tai nam gan without rare steak and more tendon. First time I was here the old guy server looked upset that I made changes to the order but whatever. I tipped fat and he looked happy. But it happened over and over again. I know he recognizes me and even tho I've ordered like this for countless times he always made that face. I gave him more chances, visited maybe 10 more times before I wrote this review. Today I went and this old guy again. Doesn't even smile. Looks almost angry that I'm here. I thought maybe he's upset about "more tendon" part so I just said "no rare steak please". And he makes the angry face and tsk tsk me. Seriously? You live in America and you are mad at people taking stuff out from their food? My bill was 38.60 something dollars today. I said I'll pay with venmo because usually that helps the business. I showed him $40 and he said it's $38.60 like he wants me to tip more. You tsk tsk me and expect me to tip more? I hope you guys talk about me and treat your future customers better because I know you all know me. Tips based on service and I've been tipping over 20% all this time to get that shitty service. And you never check on the table after foods out anyways. Never going back again. Just because of the service and specifically this old guy. Can find pho like this anywhere anyways. Plus after renovation the soup has been mid. Two stars only because it still made me give more chances when I know I'll be unappreciated. read more
