    Firstly, there is a designated parking lot which makes dining here so convenient. Service was attentive and friendly! I tried the Tim's House pho and the filet mignon shaking beef hot plate with garlic noodles. The pho was jam packed with meat which I appreciated! The broth was also very flavorful and dank, a touch on the sweeter side for me. Really enjoyed the pho that felt very nourishing. The filet mignon shaking beef came hot and sizzling, where the smell of garlic was irresistible!! The beef was perfectly cooked where it was tender and not dry. It was super flavorful and loved the onions and the bell peppers which were the perfect complement. I loved that the garlic noodles were loaded with garlic as it should be!!! I would definitely come back for both dishes but some other authentic Vietnamese dishes I'm eager to try since their flavors were on point for both my dishes!

    Food! 10! Service! 10! Ambience! 10! We're both looking for something on a nice Saturday afternoon while we were in San Diego and came across this location. It was close by our hotel Paradise point so we decided to stop in and we were both very happy. Right when we walked in, the restaurant was very clean with lots of seatings and very open and airy. Decor was nicely done with lots of paintings and the BF even said there was some paintings in the men's restroom. We both love art, so this was a plus for us to dine and was able to admire all the beautiful pieces. We ordered pho and the fried rice with ribeye, omg the broth was perfect and so was the fried rice, ribeye was cooked medium rare and tasted oh so delicious. We also ordered the lychee and coconut coffee, both were amazing! Restaurant is in a large plaza so plenty of parking spaces. When we come back to SD, we definitely will be back. Did I mention service was 100% great here.

    I've finally ventured out of southeast San Diego for some pho, and although I thought nothing would compare, this spot killed it! I always have to test the broth first, and they passed with flying colors. They incorporate wagyu into a few of their dishes and it's worth it. It's melt-in-your-mouth good! Everything tastes super fresh. And huge shoutout to their drinks!! I would come back just for their drinks. The coconut matcha was my favorite, and I'm not even a matcha person like that. Their fruit teas are great, refreshing options. I like that you can actually taste the tea over the fruit flavors. Highly recommend!

    Woooo!

    My friend wanted to try the famous sizzling filet mignon steak plate, but I was glad to see plenty of other great options here too. Here's my experience: AMBIANCE: Parking: Plaza parking--no real issues, even at lunchtime. Seating: Comfortable inside seating, good for pairs, mid-sized groups, or even larger gatherings. Vibes: Welcome to the inner parts of Pacific Beach. You won't see the ocean from here, but you're still in the neighborhood. The spot itself is inviting, with art and décor highlighting Hanoi culture. Lite rock played in the background, which kept the lunch flow easy and relaxed. Overall, it feels like a great place for a casual food adventure--solo or with friends. FOOD/DRINKS: Coconut Matcha (Recommend) Beautifully presented. Earthy matcha paired with tropical coconut sweetness makes for a smooth, refreshing drink--perfect on a hot day. Rice Vermicelli - Grilled Pork (Recommend) A fulfilling bowl that hits the essential Vietnamese flavor notes. The pork was marinated in lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar--sweet, savory, and umami all at once. Fresh herbs (mint, basil, cilantro) and cucumber added brightness and kept it light. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly staff who kept things moving smoothly--our orders came out quickly and with a smile. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Awesome! Good food, fair prices, and a pleasant experience. Sure, you can find incredible Vietnamese food in Normal Heights or Chula Vista, but this spot definitely holds it down in Pacific Beach. I'm curious to come back for more drinks and dishes. Cảm ơn (thank you)! #RepresentAZN TIPS: * Too many good choices--bring a friend so you can share and sample more dishes!

    Woven vermicelli with shrimp sugarcane // bun cha Ha Noi platter
    Lisa N.

    I was actually pretty impressed at how good the food was. Being Vietnamese I'm pretty selective on the quality of Vietnamese dishes. This spot had a good selection of items to choose from. Service and staff were amazing! They truly care about the quality of food and service. I can definitely tell by the joy on their faces. Ambiance is so chill and nice. Interior is beautiful and bright with the high ceilings. Located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. I ordered the woven vermicelli with shrimp sugarcane. My family ordered the bun cha Ha Noi and loved it. It was overall a solid and satisfying meal. Presentation is wonderful. I would totally come back here and recommend others.

    Veggie Pho with Beef Broth
    Taylor H.

    I have always come here for takeout, but finally decided to eat in. We LOVE their pho and really enjoyed our experience! They brought our food out so quickly!

    Customer service was amazing from the moment we walked in. The staff was super friendly, attentive & made us feel really welcome the whole time. The ban xeo was hands down the best I've ever had. It was perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Every bite was so good. The pho was just as impressive. The broth was rich and flavorful and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. I tried the wagyu pho, which I had never had before, and I'm really glad I did. The wagyu was tender and melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the broth and fresh herbs. The atmosphere was great too, and they're dog friendly which was a really nice bonus. Overall this place is easily a 10/10 and I definitely recommend it if you're looking for great pho and amazing service.

    This Vietnamese fusion spot has been in Pacific Beach for decades, tucked into a corner of the mall. We came in on a Sunday night and the place was almost full around 7 PM. Nice ambience with tasteful decor and high ceilings that made the space feel open instead of cramped. We ordered the hot stone bowl pho, shaking beef, crispy noodles, chicken wings, KBBQ fried rice and bun cha Hanoi. Everything was well-seasoned and tasted just right and nicely presented. Prices were totally reasonable, and there's plenty of parking (a miracle in PB). But the real standout was the service. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming right from the moment we stepped in the doors.

    Hanoiiii, chicken wings, and coconut coffee.

    All photos may have partially correct food name but this place is sooooo good. I've been coming for years but stopped for awhile and WOW. Revamped menu since when? Coconut coffee is life changing, the Hanoi dish is epic, chicken wings are fire, and stone pho is also soooooooo satisfying. All photos are from different days because we came here 3x in two weeks. Everyone who works here is also lovely and the customer service is solid.

    This is definitely an SD hidden gem Fresh pho noodles, need I say more? We were greeted with great customer service. This is a family run restaurant and everyone was so kind and friendly As someone who eats most of their Vietnamese food at home, I was thoroughly impressed. The fresh pho noodles and rib eye were great! The rib eye was super tender and the fresh pho noodles were cooked well. Broth was aromatic, but not overpowering and not too salty or not too sweet The Bun Cha Ha Noi was so delicious. The pork belly was flavored so well and the fish sauce was spectacular. Wish we had just a bit more vegs but other than that was superb

    Seriously - HOW CAN I PUT MORE THAN 5 stars for this place!!!! My BFF kept talking about this place and I kept telling her that I don't go to PB now that I'm over 30 years old. LOL. BUT SHE DID NOT FAIL ME, this place was worth dragging me back onto Garnet. It was just the two of us. She said everything was so good, we LEGIT ordered 4 entrees, and THREE drinks. Of course I had to order the Pho here. The Pho in the clay pot was so good! It kept my Pho warm the entire time I was there eating the other 3 dishes. It's also one of the few pho places that serve FRESH thick noodles with Pho. Their specials with the Dau Mam was delicious was soooooo refreshing with the lettuce wrap, banh hoi, and sauce!! OMG THE SAUCEEEEE! I can type forever about this place, but really the cherry on top was the service and the owner? She came to check in on us and made suggestions. They were so so friendly. I can't wait to take my family here. They have a nice mix of dishes from Ha Noi! I can't wait to go back! It's always gonna Pho Time for me. PS, don't worry you're not too old to come back to PB for this.

    Listened to tik tok and made my way on over to try their secret menu item of wagyu pho. Wagyu was superb. Stop by just to try it and see for yourself! We were seated quickly. Plenty of space. Went there on a Monday night and staff were very friendly and attentive. Tried the egg rolls and the shaken beef with garlic noodles too. Garlic noodles were okay. Seemed more like basic spaghetti to me with lots of seared garlic but beef was nicely presented in a sizzling platter. Presentation is key here. Great photo representation as soon as it comes out. I'd recommend this to any locals living in PB and it's worth a drive to try too. The center it's located in also has a lot of parking and they have a wide variety of unique drinks to try too.

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

Parking can get pretty competitive here so come early. Seating: Inside seating for maybe about 25 people, 5 small groups or so. Vibes: North Park is known for its lively food and entertainment scene, but this spot leans more on the calm and cozy side--which is a nice change of pace. If you're looking for something more relaxed, this is your spot. I enjoyed the subtle Japanese-inspired playlist in the background--it added to the overall ambiance without being distracting. The artwork gives the space a warm touch, especially the Bruce Lee painting. It feels like one of those places you can come back to regularly when you want something comforting and reliable. Definitely more comfort-focused than trendy, and that's part of the appeal. FOOD / DRINKS Spicy Miso Noodle Soup (Recommend) This was a solid bowl. You're getting a spicy miso broth with slow-cooked pork belly, bok choy, carrots, and noodles (ramen or udon)--so it hits that comforting, savory lane right away. The broth has a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the pork belly adds that richness to balance everything out. It's one of those bowls that feels hearty, warm, and satisfying--especially if you're craving something with depth and a little spice. SERVICE Friendly and efficient. Food comes out pretty quickly, which is always a plus when you're hungry. TL;DR OVERALL 4 stars. Good food, reasonable prices, rich selection, and a pleasant experience. It seems to be a favorite for locals as there was a steady flow here. If you're in need of some good broth, this is your spot. Best wishes to Chalathorn and the Nood Bar Team! #RepresentASIAN TIPS * Great for a casual meal--nothing too heavy or complicated * Come hungry--the portions are solid

At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice.
