    Veggie eggrolls
    Angelica L.

    I love pho Vista!!!! They have veggie options, and I usually get the veggie egg rolls and veggie bun. Service is friendly and restaurant is clean!

    The Menu

    Nice little Vietnamese restaurant, it's typically not ever busy at all, in fact I wish more people in Vista ventured into this place. They make a nice bowl of noodles and both their egg rolls as well as their spring rolls are a nice appetizer. With the amount of Hispanics here in Vista I would have expected more of them to be eating at this restaurant (in Mira Mesa and on Convoy St down in Kearny Mesa you find plenty of Hispanics love them some Phó.) I say take a chance and come support this local small business. If I could add one suggestion it would be to always either have music playing (even their own Vietnamese style music would be fine....just like Chinese restaurants play their own music) or, put the TV on and play some sports. People do enjoy watching sports when they eat. (Not sure why....but they do)

    Vegetarian pho with egg noodles and silken tofu
    Eva R.

    Pho Vista HEALED ME. I had the worst food-borne illness of my entire life, I could not eat solid food for over a week, and a friend swears by this place, she recommended I at least try it. I had the vegetarian broth with silken tofu and egg noodles for the protein, and I was very careful with the fresh herbs and vegetables that came with the meal. This pho genuinely revived me, it brought me back from the brink, it made me feel 1000x better and I am a BELIEVER. I wanted to cry and fall at their feet but I was in my house because I was too weak to go anywhere (thank you, delivery). The massive improvement I saw after two big bowls of pho from Pho Vista was more than I thought possible. Your delicious, gentle vegetarian tofu pho saved me! Fan for life.

    Beef Pho with Brisket
    Nevaeh S.

    Food was really good; we ordered the Beef Pho with Brisket, you can add up to three different meats to the beef pho. Broth was very flavorful, added some chili oil and jalapeños for some spice and it was great. Service was quick and we didn't have to wait too long for our order. Ambiance was very basic and plain, not really for aesthetics it wasn't necessarily nice. Bright lights and there are tables and booths as well. No bowl sizes to choose from but it was basically small for $14.95, tipping starts at 15%, and for five bowls of beef pho the total (including tip and tax) came out to $80.92. Overall, was a good spot to try but we probably wouldn't come back as it's like every other common pho place. Also offers delivery through DoorDash, Caviar, UberEats, and Postmates if that's more convenient for you!

    We visited on Tuesday at 5:20pm and they had a few tables already seated but there was no wait, which was awesome because we are very hungry! Haha I ordered pho beef soup with brisket and we'll done steak and my boyfriend ordered pho beef soup with filet mignon and brisket. The service was very quick and the lady taking our order and delivering our food was so sweet and attentive! We usually go to another pho restaurant, but on Tuesdays they are closed (we forgot). Finding this place was a happy accident! And it just so happens to be closer to our home. I will definitely be coming back if not to sit and dine, then to take some food to-go! Try it out! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Egg rolls site description
    Kat D.

    Wow. Been meaning to try this for a while, and I kind of regret finally doing so. Where to start... First, it's worth noting their online pricing is outdated. I ordered the pork egg rolls and chicken curry to go. When I opened the egg rolls it looked kind of sparse. I looked back on the site and saw it's advertised as 6, not the 4 I received. Apparently they have not updated their website to reflect this. Taste wise the egg rolls were okay, very taro heavy. Could not taste the pork inside. Curry was VERY ginger heavy, and I was already sick and congested, which dulled my taste! The spicy was all burn from ginger. As someone who otherwise loves ginger flavored things, this was not it. Ginger is supposed to be an aromatic to balance flavors, but not take over the entire flavor profile of a dish, which is what it did here. It also lacked that slightly bright, creamy flavor of other Viet curries. It also might be worth noting the potato in the curry was subbed out with more taro. If you don't like taro, this is an FYI. Very different texture from potato. One piece of chicken was terribly hard and chewy compared to others, not sure if it was a reheated piece from another day, and all the chicken was quite grey looking anyway. Bread that came with it was decent. Since this was to-go, I only experienced customer service over the phone. The flair was what you'd expect, culturally speaking. Get your food and go, oh our online prices changed? Too bad. While I appreciate the experience of trying a new place, now I know to stick to good old Mr. Pho.

    Combo pho #1
    Marcel T.

    4/5 tasty hot broth, firm noodles, and lots of meat in combo Pho. 3.5/5 average service and ambiance

    Nem nuong spring rolls
    Karen T.

    I came here about 30 min before closing and definitely was rushed to finish my meal and leave before 9. They told us that they close right at 9 as I was sitting down, then took our order immediately. The food came out fast, but they also brought the check with the food. The whole time we ate, they were watching us eat waiting for us to leave. I don't blame them for wanting to leave on time, but it was definitely a pressurized situation. We ended up leaving at 9:02- I've never ate so fast in my life. We got the pho tai chin and the nem nuong rolls. The pho wasn't bad, but the nem nuong rolls were not good. They felt like something I could make easily at home, and the nem nuong was weird. To be fair, I'm a bit of a Vietnamese food snob, but with the disappointing rolls plus the poor service, I wouldn't return.

    Chicken pho
    Samantha W.

    Stopped in while running an errand in town and were pleasantly surprised. Food came out fast. The chicken pho broth was flavorful and very yummy. Was a little on the oily side though. Steamed tofu & vegetable pho was pretty good but tasted like powdered or cubed broth. Almost like knorr vegetable broth base powder. The amount and variety of veg was nice and the noodles were cooked nicely.

However, the experience we had before even being seated was enough for us to leave. Maybe the food is great, but personally, I wouldn't bother wasting my time trying again. There are too many other places where a party of 6 can feel welcomed and appreciated from the moment they walk in.

    This was seriously one of the BEST finds we've stumbled across! Don't get me wrong, I was a bit…read moreskeptical at first, but OH. MY. GOODNESS!! We came in around 1:30 PM and stayed until about 2:30. The restaurant was calm and quiet at that time of day, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, and the service was AMAZING. But the FOOD?! Absolutely phenomenal. You can genuinely taste the authenticity and freshness in everything. This isn't one of those places where every dish tastes like the same generic Chinese-fusion food. You can tell there is care behind each dish, from the flavors and textures to the presentation. We HAD to try literally almost EVERYTHING. And when I say we HAD to try a little bit of everything, I mean it. We ordered the chicken chow mein, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, sticky rice balls, sesame balls (8), fried veggie spring rolls (3), pork potstickers (8), AND the honey walnut shrimp with a side of steamed white rice. We basically turned our table into our own little tasting menu, and there genuinely wasn't a dish that made me regret ordering it. We were even given complimentary egg drop soup because of how much we had ordered. Anything that was supposed to be crunchy had a GRADE-A CRUNCH. The honey walnut shrimp was creamy, perfectly balanced, and easily one of my FAVORITES. The chicken chow mein was delicious, and I have to give them MAJOR credit for the orange chicken. I'm normally not a huge orange chicken person because so many places make it overly sweet or just not very palatable, but they got theirs DOWN TO A T. Even the potstickers came out with such a beautiful presentation! Yes, at first glance some of the prices might seem a little higher, but once you see the portions, taste the freshness, and experience the quality, it makes sense. I normally say "cry once, buy once," but for a restaurant like this? I would GLADLY keep coming back. The quality and experience are absolutely worth it. What honestly makes me a little sad is seeing how phenomenal this place is and knowing how easily it could get overlooked. There's so much traffic passing by--parents picking their kids up from school, people out working and grabbing lunch, or just anyone passing through--and I really hope more people stop in and give this restaurant the attention it deserves. PLEASE give this place a try and support them! I will absolutely be recommending it to my friends and family. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and properly executed. My absolute favorite out of ALL of them would have to be the Honey Walnut Shrimp -- OH MY LORD. And listen--if you're comparing this to fast-food Chinese prices, you're comparing apples to oranges. Sometimes you pay a little more because you're getting noticeably better freshness, flavor, quality, and care. If cheap is the goal, there's always Panda Express. If GOOD food is the goal, I know where I'm coming back. I genuinely hope they continue to have so much success because food and service like this deserve to be recognized. Long story short: STOP PASSING THIS PLACE UP! Come hungry, order a little bit of everything, and thank me later. Kung Fu Noodle, you understood the assignment. 10/10 -- WILL be back! Your taste buds will thank you.

    Absolutely deserving of 5 stars! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was clean, welcoming,…read moreand comfortable. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor.

To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!
