Always friendliest service. Pho hit the spot today. The sever was talking loudly (Vietnamese) into the kitchen window then paused shortly and looked back in the window and yells "to go!" I laughed at that one. Good crowd in this Sunday lunch. CritDicks read more

Pho Truc Xanh - The signage as you enter. - Vietnamese Near Me - Vista, California

This is such a great, authentic Vietnamese spot in North County--definitely a go-to for our family. What we love: * Outstanding service: We've visited three times over the past 16 months, and they actually remember us each time. They even give my kids lollipops, which is such a thoughtful touch. * Kid-approved dishes: My (picky) kiddo always orders egg fried rice at Vietnamese restaurants, and this is hands-down his favorite version. * Consistently good food: The vermicelli bowls always hit the spot, and the egg rolls are fresh with reliable quality every visit. * Crispy pork spring rolls: Super tasty, generously filled, and perfect for sharing. The peanut sauce that comes with them is especially delicious. Overall - great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this place stand out. We'll keep coming back! read more

This is my new favorite pho spot in north county!! I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner. Not only is the food delicious, but their service is amazing! All the aunties there are so sweet and they actually care about you. It's a true family restaurant. For food you MUST get the bun bo hue, I got it with the spare rib and it's so good. I love spicy and all of the flavors were there. If spicy ain't your thing, get pho. Can't go wrong with pho when you're hungover. It is sooo good, and for spicy lovers you can't forget their house made saté! It's so flavorful with fragrent lemongrass I can honestly drink it lol. My hubby got their salt and pepper pork and he said it was so mouthwatering good. You'll def see us here more often. read more

Best Pho spot in Vista. I love coming to this place as the owner makes you feel like family. They are all super friendly and have an intimate knowledge of all their customer. The pho is so authentic that it feels like I'm eating my mother in laws homemade pho! Service is fast and the best part is if you have leftovers the server will pack it for you, you don't have to do it yourself like most restaurants. I love this place!! read more

We've back now a number of times and have had solid meals. The pho is still a fantastic broth and highly recommended with whatever protein floats your boat (beef flank and rare beef is ours). We also love the salt and pepper tofu - generous and so flavorful. We recently also had the tom kha soup - a great bowl of spicy coconut soup although the vermicelli noodles in this one weren't as great. Perhaps we'll order the soup alone next time! Lunch was quite busy on a Sunday morning - get there before noon to not have to wait! read more

We came for dinner on a rainy Friday night, and it was packed! There was around a 30 minute wait for a table, and for good reason. The food & the service are both top notch. We ordered the tofu spring rolls, a large chicken pho, and a large pho with rare beef. The rice paper on the spring rolls had the perfect amount of chew, and the accompanying peanut sauce had great flavor and texture. My chicken pho came with the fragrant beef broth, which didn't need any additional seasonings or sauces. I loved that each slurp had green onion in it, and the rice noodles had a nice chewy texture. Both soups came with lots of meat, especially evident in the steak pho. The servers were all so friendly, treating each table like neighbors or good friends. You can tell they all work well together and enjoy their work. The ambiance is cute, from the floral ceiling lights to the hand painted art on the walls. If it's busy, make sure to write your name on the clipboard to save your spot in line. read more

My boyfriend and I are absolutely obsessed with Pho Truc Xanh. The Tom Kha Pho is unreal -- so good that we've literally gone days in a row. Every single thing we've tried has been amazing, but what really keeps us coming back is the staff. They genuinely feel like family to us at this point. The warmth, kindness, humor, and care they show every time we walk in makes the experience even better. We truly can't speak highly enough about both the food and the service. This place has our hearts. read more

Amazing! Is all I can say about the food, service, and setting. This is one of the best pho x Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. I have sent every person I know their way because of how genuine they are. When you become a regular the remember your name forever even after not being there for months. I originally found them in escondido whilst living there as a poor college kid needing some hangover help and eventually bought a house in vista and to my surprise they moved with me! I highly recommend the combo pho and fresh spring roll always my go to. I love the orange chicken, dry noodle bowl, fried spring rolls ... I can keep going but needless to say the food is amazing. Service is 10/10 always quick and attentive! read more

I haven't been here in a while but the quality is still just as good. I got the pho xruc or whatever it was called, which tasted really good. It came with chicken, noodles, and veggies. Was enough to fill me up and still have some leftovers. The staff were very nice and patient. The place definitely isn't as nice looking as the Escondido place, but they do a nice job with their decorations. read more

This is still my favorite Vietnamese and phǒ place in North County. I always enjoy everything I order and I try different things all the time. We come back every few months and they always recognize us. They always keep my water filled and sometimes even offer us and other tables free soup to take with us to go at the end of the night, so it doesn't go to waste. When they give you the bill they give you these delicious little candies that are addictive. It's always packed too which says a a lot. We got lucky on this visit because they're on vacation from 21 July to August 15 and we happen to come on the 20th. So we were able to get our fill. I wish them well. We look forward to our next visit because what I had this time I want again soon. read more

Although the wait was long everyone was so friendly and checking in on us, they even brought us egg drop soup for the wait time.

Tried their salt & pepper pork chop rice plate and it was so bomb. Crunchy & savory especially after getting a side of the fish sauce and dipping it in there.

Also their hot & sour soup was literally perfect, exactly how I like mine. read more

Pho Truc Xanh in Escondido is a cute little spot with some lovely decor touches that make the experience feel colorful and inviting. The rare steak pho was solid and comforting, with thick savory noodles that were hands-down my favorite part--chewy and satisfying in every bite. I tried the spring rolls too, but didn't love the flavor of the marinated beef in them--just a little too sweet for my taste. Everything else tasted fine overall, nothing mind-blowing but decent and filling. The menu is impressively large, so it seems like there's something for everyone. The vibe inside is super colorful and artsy, with colorful lanterns hanging overhead and paintings lining the walls. There's a big parking lot right outside too, so no need to stress about that, which is a win. If you're coming with a group, this could be a nice middle-ground spot where everyone can find something to enjoy. It's the kind of place where I'd maybe come again if I was nearby, especially for the pho. The broth has a clean taste that doesn't feel heavy, which I really appreciate. It feels like a solid neighborhood spot--not a destination place, but reliable. I wouldn't rave about it to out-of-towners, but I'd definitely meet a friend here for a low-key lunch. Cozy, casual, and dependable. read more

One of the few restaurants we go to that's consistently serving really good food even if we change up our orders. Some of our favorites are their honey beef rib, any soup with their beef rib, and their banh mi. Their drinks and coffees are yummy too! We try to go here every week since we've discovered this gem. This place never disappoints. Highly recommended! read more

Probably one of the best pho restaurants in sd county. The pho flavor here is very rich and they pack their bowls with a ton of meat. The service is incredible for a pho restaurant. They ask you how you are doing and are able to make you feel like a valued customer. The ambiance feels like your local restaurant as everyone eating there was almost a local. The staff knew many people by first name. I would definitely come back. read more

This is hands-down my favorite restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough. They offer Vietnamese, Thai, and I believe they also might have some Chinese dishes, and every single time the food is consistently amazing. Whether you dine in or take it to go, the quality never changes everything is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. What really sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The ladies who work here are absolutely wonderful. They actually remember your name and genuinely make you feel welcomed every time you walk in. That personal touch means so much and keeps me coming back. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. No matter what you order, you'll be satisfied and already planning your next visit.

Wanted a hearty meal on the way back from the Safari Park, so I checked for places online and saw that this restaurant has great reviews. Arrived to find a nice, clean, spacious dining room that was already filling up by 5 PM! Super-friendly service, which might be one reason why so many of the customers seemed to be regulars--they were greeted by name and the staff knew their usual orders. We got very generous portions of tasty food and left satisfied. The grilled pork and the pork chop were a tad dry, but overall, it was a good experience. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in town! read more

First visit since they moved away from Escondido 2-3 years ago. Hubby remembered them to make the best Singapore Rice Noodle dish. I made the trek to Vista just to do something for hubby to flutter his heart. They haven't lost it. They make a very tasty Singapore Rice Noodle dish! We did takeout. Friendly as always. While we didn't stay, looking around, they decorated in colorful lanterns with a feel of a party. read more

The soups and smoothie drinks and noodles were all yummy and This sandwich is So unusual (to me) but oh so yummy. You will have leftovers. Also they tie up your soups vice wellfor traveling home. And bonus they give these little candies that are the perfect sweet.

The food is good but not a wow good. Also, prices are high. We came here for the good ratings. They were busy. The egg rolls were $13.50 for 6 and they don't give you lettuce to wrap your egg roll. They brought us the sweet chili sauce but we asked for fish sauce. I like the egg rolls more than my husband did. He said he had better. My husband ordered a grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich. He said it was ok. They put a lot of mayonnaise on it. My husband poured some fish sauce in the sandwich and it made it better. This is $11.99 Two pork and shrimp spring rolls were $9.50. This was average but I like that they put rice noodles in them. The peanut sauce was a little watery but not bad. I normally don't order pho (noodle soup) unless I know it's good but i decided to try theirs. It was good about the same as Pho neighbors in Lake Elsinore or better and I only eat pho there. $13.99 for a small bowl. I love how they gave me thick pieces of tendons. Loved it. Good portion of meat was given. My husband requested that his Vietnamese coffee be made with no sweetener, just coffee and half and half. They did good. My regular Vietnamese coffee was good. Ambiance was ok, decorations were kinda nice. They charge you 3% if you use a credit card. read more

It's been 10 years since my last review and I wanted to say that this spot is still 5 stars in my book! A classic with me and all my homies. I came here when I graduated with my Masters a long time ago and it was a memorable experience. Since they moved to Vista I haven't been as much but today I went with my cousin and they remembered us which I love. The ladies are great and always make me laugh. Them and the food keeps me coming back after all these years My cousin got grilled pork lo mein and the bite I tried was so flavorful. He ordered a 10 level spice but it didn't feel that hot to me and I can't do hot. We shared the crispy pork and shrimp egg rolls which are as good as I remember. I got the wonton soup with noodles and everything in it was perfection. Got some grilled beef and egg roll vermicelli to go for my boyfriend too and they threw some egg drop soup in the bag for us too. Love the decor inside and the authentic music. I will always come back to PTX! read more

I have to say this family own business is amazing. They have a lot of food selections on the menu. Each time we come here for some reason I always choose to eat Spicy Bun Bo Hue. It is very delicious and great seasoning. Their fried tofu as appetizer is good as well. My friend ordered other noodle dish and pho brisket which he said it's the best pho he ever ate in San Diego. I would recommended this place if you're in town or near by. They have excellent customer service and they made you feel welcome and treat like family. The restaurant is very clean. Overall I would recommend this to you if you have big party this is the place. A lot of rooms for large parties read more

This is the most delicious pho around! I ordered the P15 and my husband ordered the P2, both were amazing (we tasted each others of course)! The beef rib was fall off the bone and the meat was so tender. But most of all the service was out of this world! All of the servers were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. We saw the servers knew a lot of the guests and so we thought there must be a lot of regulars here. It was family friendly (there were lots of families dining there) and they played a family friendly movie for the kids to watch while eating. The restaurant was spacious and the decor was inviting. I loved how the table had all of the utensils, napkins, and sauces ready for you. Great experience, and we will be back! read more

First and definitely not last visit for me. My cousin is a regular here. We had lunch with my toddler niece on a Wednesday. I noticed immediately how friendly all of the staff are. In my experience, this is very uncommon for most Asian restaurants. I mean everyone was smiling and genuinely happy to be there. We were seated within seconds of entering at a 4 top while she grabbed a high chair. Our exuberantly polite server came over with waters and took our orders. I asked for recommendations, so we decided to go with two of his suggestions. We started off with piping hot and crispy eggrolls that were accompanied by these yummy pickles. We ordered pho, broken rice and wonton noodle soup. They were generous with the portions and everything tasted YUM-O! Staff was uber attentive, refilling water, checking if we needed anything. I have to note how spaciously clean this restaurant is along with the classic Asian decorations. I love how the fully committed to decking it out, spared no details. I learned that this place has been around a long time and there are many regulars. Which isn't a surprise given how friendly they are. Can't wait to be back to support these owners! My new favorite spot for Vietnamese cuisine! read more

(This review is based on take out experience). Recently ordered a small meal of Wonton Soup, Grilled Pork Bahn Mi and Fresh Lemonade from here recently and was genuinely impressed by how good, well prepared and packaged it was. My soup was fantastic, with delicious wontons and lots of fresh vegetables, as well as the Bahn Mi (which was on the smaller size, but perfect for me). The restaurant itself was bright and busy, and with food this good, can see why. I look forward to having a meal here in person soon. So nice to find a local restaurant with so many good reviews. read more

We finally made the trip here and it didn't disappoint! We tried three different Vietnamese dishes and all were very good. The beef rib pho had a generous amount of meat on the bones. The ladies working there were so, so friendly. The restaurant is large and clean. There were several vegetarian options. There wasn't a kids menu but our kids happily split a rice plate. They accept credit cards and parking is easy. I have no complaints, aside from wishing it was closer to where I live.
