Pho Van - Vermicelli salad - Vietnamese Near Me - Santee, California

My favorite pho place in Santee. I like their pho broth, their portions are big and never had any issues with them. They have lots of other options besides pho too which is nice. There is also plenty of parking. When you order for pick up they still give good portions. If you are interested in changing up your pho game, I recommend giving this place a shot. Happy eating! read more

Service has always been very good at Pho Van! The staff are friendly and always makes sure your order is accurate. My favorite go to place for Pho, spring rolls, and bbf pork Banh mi in East county! read more

First time reviewing Pho restaurant because i feel like every location is similar. I normally ask for less noodle on my pho in every pho places, sometime it come out the same, which is fine. But small little things make me impressed. This location, i always get it right. For some reason their waiters seems to be happy and smile all the time. Excellent service and good food! read more

The broth is delicious, portions are the same as other pho places and prices are fair; However, You get a 3.5 star for the rude customer service. Please don't make me feel like I asked a dumb question when I asked if you have a kids' menu. Anywhooo... they don't serve bahn mi sandwiches, but they offer other items on the menu - like orange chicken (sorry I can't remember the rest). This environment just doesn't give you the comfort I get from other Vietnam's restaurants. Probably won't be back. read more

Best Pho in San Diego hands down. Both locations are great. Although the Santee location does have Alcohol beer and pho the best.

My favorite pho place nearby. Meat taste good and broth is perfect. I discovered this place during the pandemic so I have only taken out. I love heating everything up at home. I always order beef pho and fresh shrimp spring rolls. Inside looks clean. Parking is not an issue. Other pho places have funky tasting meat or taste super heavy/greasy. This pho has a lot of flavor without all the heavy fat taste. read more

Great food. Quick service. The store was very open and wasn't crowded. Would recommend the wings.

I grew up in San Diego and love Pho, this In my opinion is the best broth I have had... I love the service. They are fast and accommodating with our two toddlers we come at least once a week. Very consistent. read more

Some of the best Pho we've ever had! Prices are great here! Huge bowl of pho for less than a $8. We also had the egg rolls and the crispy chicken wings with jalapeño as a side which were awesome also. Best part about this place is that their service is AMAZING. You could tell the people there were really proud of their restaurant and wanted everyone to love the food and come back again. We had the nicest waiter I've ever met and had some great convo! I definitely will be back! read more

Pho Van - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Santee, California

smh unorganized . I called my order in they said 25mins so I got there at tht time was waiting just for them to say another 20 until I said nvm I don't wanna wait that long . He said no it'll be done right away So I gave them another 20mins .. After finally getting my order went to go pay just to go home and my order wasn't even right. I ordered 1 Pho w meatballs 6 Egg Rolls 2 spring rolls and a boba tea .. I got a pho & 2 banh mi's smh! so disappointed after the long wait and poor communication I paid extra for the meatballs & he MADE SURE my total egg rolls was rung up at the register so I was so upset & i'm pregnant so i'm extra dissatisfied for the wait and wrong order . Another family was waiting 45min+ for 1 PHO BOWL TO GO ... wouldn't recommend . read more

Same as Pho Van in mid-city. The best spring rolls I have ever had. I also love their grilled pork.

Ahhh yes, another decent Vietnamese Restaurant in Santee. That makes two....I think. This place took over Pho Santee's spot. It's clean and looks remodeled. Service is fast and friendly. Food is good. I really like their fried egg rolls compared to Pho Ca Dao's down the street. Other than the egg rolls, we ordered their fried chicken wings. They were topped with fried green onions, jalapeños and garlic. The toppings seemed a little on the greasy side but the chicken was tasty, not the best I've had though. Tried the combo steak, chicken and shrimp pho. Not bad. The broth is flavorful and they give a good amount of meat. Overall, I'd come back. read more

" Large Soup & Tons Of Fresh Vegetables " I went to the Pho Van Vietnamese Restaurant in Santee, CA today to get my wife some Pho Soup. Kenny, greeted me nicely as I came in the door and he sat me at a table, gave me a To Go menu, and a glass of water. Kenny was very nice, as he took my order for a Rare Steak, & Well done Brisket with extra Vegetables. When I got home and served my wife you could see the HUGE amount Steak, Brisket, fresh Vegetables & Noodles, and a separate side of fresh Bean Sprouts, Jalapeno Peppers, Mint & Basil & Hot Sauce. The bowl was so big, my wife can enjoy this Vietnamese Pho for probably 2 more days. We were very impressed with the Pho dish and it's fresh ingredients. Pho Van has a wide range of dishes they serve. They have 22 different Rice Plate dishes, 10 different Vegetarian Dishes,10 different Rice Noodle & Egg dishes,10 different Stir Fried Dishes, 32 Vermicelli dishes, 5 Beef Stew Dishes, 10 house Specialties dishes, and 21 Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup combination dishes. 9 different Desserts, 10 different Smoothies, and 22 different Drinks. Wow ! You better be ready to read the menu a while ! Great Place, and we will return to here again ! read more

When I can't go the Phuong Trang on Convoy, this is my go too place in the La Mesa/Santee area. Vermicelli Noodle Bowls with Grilled chicken and egg rolls are awesome. The Pho with well done brisket, spring rolls, fried egg rolls, and the pork fried rice were all excellent. Professional staff, quick service, and tasty food. read more

Wonderful Vietnamese food in santee with great vegetarian offerings too. We've tried the pho, spring rolls, fried rolls & ices coffee, all delicious. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. read more

Way better than Pho ca Dao and staff are nicer and attentive. Food and service are great! Must try!

My entire life I have never been a fan of pho, but I always try a spoon of my friends to see if my palate has somehow changed. This is the only place that has ever gotten me to get a second spoonful! The flavor in the broth here is outrageous. Deep rich flavor and honestly it barely needed any toppings. I would most definitely order this next time I'm here. I also tried their beef noodles which were thin, cooked perfectly and overall delicious. The service is amazing. I have never had service this great in the Santee area! Khanh you are an awesome waiter and I hope we get you as ours next time as well! I'll be back soon! read more

Food is so delicious!!! The portions are large enough that one order of Pho can be shared. I've eaten inside once, but usually order for carry out. Even carry out is fabulous because it's packaged well & hot when you pick it up. I'm partial to pho #16, with beef, shrimp, & chicken. Love it!! read more

The best broth in town. Bar-none! First we had our three grandkids to celebrate our anniversary, our server was super nice and friendly that took his time to select our food. The small order they have is large for most of other place we been. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious and the service once is the best just like their broth. Overall, the best Pho in town and we're definitely going back whenever we're in town! read more

Excellent quality pho! I saw all the 5 star reviews and had to try this place out. I usually frequent Pho Ca Dao down the street but this place is much, much better! To me the most important component of pho is the broth. Pho Van has got it down. Flavorful without being salty. Noodles are also tender, not mushy. And you get a LOT of meat. To-go orders are only large size, and it's too much food. At least 6-8 ounces of meat alone. In the future I'll probably eat here and get the regular size. I had the tai + chin (rare and well done brisket) and it was not fatty or chewy at all. You also get green/white onions and cilantro, in addition to the usual basil, jalapeno, and bean sprouts. I can see someone sharing the large bowl since I couldn't finish it (and I hate wasting food). I also want to mention that they really should remove the stems of the cilantro that they provide with the noodles. I understand it's not the easiest thing to do, but they could at least cut most of the stem off instead of tossing everything in. Having said that, I will definitely be back to try some other dishes. Great addition to Santee! Now if only El Cajon had quality Vietnamese restaurants like this... read more

One of the best veggie pho I have ever had! This place has many vegan/ vegetation options to choose from, they even offer mock meat :) I ordered the vegetable pho with extra veggies and two mock chicken spring rolls. Very attentive, quick service. Super friendly and a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Will be back! read more

We were in the mood for pho and noticed this new place is opened. The place is nicely decorated and very clean. We ordered the egg rolls, and fish sauce wings to start off with. Both were deliciously crispy and flavorful. My wife and sister both got the fried tofu and veggie pho and both said it was really good but the tofu needed to be fried longer. I got a meat combo and it was packed full with meat, so much so that I actually left some in the bowl when I was done. The small bowl is huge so I dont even want to see what the large bowl looks like. Our waiter was top notch and brought over some serrano's in a mixture with sugar and vinegar and I was addicted. Will most definitely come by again and try some of the other offerings. read more

the pho is better here than a place down the street. the broth is tastier and they include vegetables in their pho. The place is always clean and the staff is very nice.

Very good vegetable soup. They know what's up if you're vegetarian or vegan. It's nice to have some options in Santee. Portions are pretty large I could easily split our plate and soup in half I instead decided to stuff myself to the gills. read more

We have been to location on El Cajon Blvd and tried the location on Santee. Good service and food is always great. Very good portions

Used to be Pho Santee. They remodeled the place after it changed hands, and now it looks a lot cozier and modern. They are right by the Cuyamaca Animal hospital in a center that is less busy than the one pho ca dao is in, so parking is never an issue. The pho and the orange chicken were delicious. Service is a lot better now, too. All in all, a big improvement. read more

This is my go to Pho spot. Friendly staff & everything on the menu is amazing. This place is a must try.

Best pho in Santee, hands down. All the people who work here are extremely welcoming, friendly and professional. I work right next to another pho place and would go completely out of my way to go here. The food here tastes so much better and authentic. We moved from Mira Mesa where we had an abundance of Asian restaurants and finding this place was the best thing since moving to Santee. And when I say all the guys who work here are extremely friendly.. I don't mean just for a pho restaurant.. I mean they have exceptional customer service. Don't go anywhere else when your around Santee and craving some delicious Vietnamese food. This will not disappoint. Guaranteed. During the shut down, we were sad thinking they had closed down but are happy to say they are open! And even have outdoor dining! Even when we order to go they ALWAYS GET THE ORDER RIGHT. And that is a big deal for me. I HATE going home with the wrong/incomplete order. Please support them. They are amazing people. Everyone who works here have been a extremely welcoming to us. They have the best Vietnamese food in the east county and are the nicest people. I don't like people, but I like these people. read more

Great fast service and yummy bahn mi. We don't go anywhere else! Can't wait to try more options.

VERY HIGH 5 STAR!!! Holy moly the customer service is OUTSTANDING!!! I cannot believe it. So I am home with a stomach bug and my very dear friend offered to bring me some soup. All I wanted was PHO!! This place had incredible food reviews and I was wanting to give it a try. Well I called the number on the website thinking this was the place... well it has 2 locations and I had no idea. My friend goes to the address that I thought I called and they said no order here! I called the number and she said no this is the other location. Many miles away like 25) I don't know how I got mixed about but they took care of it!!!!!! She said " no problem, I will transfer your order to the other location" I even cried. Because I'm feeling so lousy and then I messed this up. At any rate this right here!! Has gained them a customer for life! I will never ever go anywhere else. I will show this business my patronage and I will recommend them to everyone I know. Customer service is not like this anymore. I am beyond grateful. Now onto the food! Holy moly! This is so delicious. I am so thankful places like this still operate! The broth is rich and delicious. I am truly blown away! The chicken banh mi is one of the best I've ever had. The charbroiled chicken is outstanding! I am a customer for life. I am going to rave them everywhere to everyone! Thank you Pho Van 1&2 read more
