05/10/2026 Yes, I enjoyed their delicious food. That's why I chose to celebrate another Mother's Day here.We ordered: -Steak with fried rice ($20.95): Tender and delicious. -Beef with grape leaves ($20.95): Fulfilling. -Chicken vermicelli bowl ($14.95): The chicken was dry. -Egg rolls (4 pcs for $9.95): At $2.50 per roll, there was hardly any meat--just the rice paper wrap. This was disappointing. Service: The service was okay. However, the staff members were too distracted and busy to focus on the customers they were helping. read more

Pho had good broth and well assortments of different types of pho. Got the each rib on the side and I'd say worth the order. Their combo is also good, everything in it is well cooked Good service quick with orders and gave good recommendations Pretty big open seating, they do prefer reservations so plan ahead but when we went many tables open Beef with fried rice is good 9/10 and rice was good. Really stood out with the hot plate and they don't just rip the plate super hot where is splashes and burns you. Hate places that do that. Perfect temp to roast the onions on the plate with the beef, well seasoned and not too much sauce on it Any pho and their beef highly recommend, they probably have bomb vermicelli will need to try next time read more

There is a large shared lot, providing ample areas to park. I arrived shortly after this establishment opened. There were about 4 diners in the room -- It took about 10 literal minutes for the staff to acknowledge me (and several employees made/held eye contact with me) as I stood there awkwardly, just me and the "please wait to be seated" sign. After being seated, I ordered a small bowl of meatball pho, fried egg rolls with a glass of water and lemon. My soup arrived in short order and I proceeded to enjoy it. By the time I was halfway through my soup, at least six orders from the kitchen were delivered to other diners -- by now I had finished my meal. No one came to check on me or asked if I needed more water, and my eggrolls had yet to arrive. Since I could not wait for my eggrolls, I went to the register to pay for my meal. The worker at the register ran my ticket. I examined it and saw they charged me for eggrolls and my soup. I pointed out that I did not receive my eggrolls; he looked at me, looked at the ticket, then looked over at my table to visually verify that I did not receive my eggrolls. He went to the kitchen, then returned to the register and asked if I wanted the egg rolls to go. I declined. I paid for my meal and left. I did not tip and I do not feel bad. I am very disappointed with this eatery because a friend treated us several months ago --the service was spot on and the food was excellent. My solo experience was not positive and I will not be back. read more

PT Eatery - Grilled Shrimp lotus salad - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

This is the spot for solid Vietnamese food. The cá nướng (baked catfish rolls) are one of my favorite things here -- perfectly seasoned and baked just right. It does take some time to prep so I would call the restaurant when you're en-route so it'll be ready once you're seated. The chicken wings are also yummy, crispy with great flavor, and always hit the spot! Their garlic butter baby back ribs are another standout I enjoy, the seasoning is msg-loaded. It can be eaten alone or with rice. While their pho isn't the absolute best, it's still good for a place that doesn't even specialize in pho, and it's comforting and satisfying when you're in the mood. The restaurant itself is clean and there's plenty of parking, which is always a huge plus in this area. If you're looking for reliable Vietnamese flavors and some standout dishes, this is where you need to be. read more

I frequent this restaurant because the pho is so delicious and fragrant. Also, the garlic butter wings as an appetizer for a large group always hit the spot! I usually come on the weekends, and as a popular spot, it tends to be busy. But I'm usually still able to get a table within 10 minutes or so, and their service is really fast! (Sometimes too fast - if you take too long to order, the server might leave while you're thinking to help someone else because they are BUSY! haha) But the restaurant is clean, nice to sit at, and has good food, so overall one of my fave pho places in San Diego. read more

My family and I came here for New Year's dinner and got the fried chicken, baby pork ribs, broken rice, bun rieu, and the large cat fish. The food and quality were great. Especially the fried chicken wings and baby pork ribs. The large catfish takes a while to make and the price is market price. The size also depends on what they have available! The large catfish came out to be around $94 which is kind of pricey and definitely a splurge. Service was alright! Not bad and not great but did the job. read more

When you want Pho, you want Pho! Came across this location while in the neighborhood. When we got there it wasn't busy but it started to get very busy as it got dark. The food was delicious the broth was amazing. Also had the egg rolls that were also very tasty. I do recommend trying this place if you've never been. It has a large dining area to accommodate large groups. And the people who work here were so helpful. I'll be back for sure. read more

Didnt know that this is a sister restaurant to Phuong Trang! Once i found out, it didnt surprise me that that's why the food was good! Our table ordered the following: Garlic butter ribs Calamari Wings Beef stew with egg noodle Oxtail pho Rib bone pho Everyone was quiet eating. A good indication of how yummy the food was. I enjoyed the ribs. A hint of sweetness in each bite. It tasted so good with rice. The service and staff here are so nice. It seems like a popular spot since we came on a Tuesday night and it was steadily busy. Parking is free. would definitely come back again! read more

We came here for dinner over the weekend. For appetizers, the Garlic Butter wings were super good! Very similar to salt and pepper wings but without so much salt. The Pho French Dip was a spin on a Bahn Mi and a French dip sandwich. I loved this and would definitely order again. The Pho was also very good, we liked the broth. For dessert, we all shared the 3 colored dessert. This was so good!! It was a mix of sweet cream, red bean and jelly. read more

Came to try their Butter garlic chicken wings that I've heard so much about from multiple people. They were crispy and similar to salt and pepper wings at a Chinese restaurant but with a buttery flavor to them. You know what they say, butter makes everything better. Make sure you get the fried bits on top of each wing it's just extra flavor that you don't want to miss out on. We also got the tenderloin with fried rice. The tenderloin came on a sizzling platter and was very tender and tasty. It came with a separate plate of fried rice and salad. The fried rice was ok; not super tasty but better than just plain white rice. The salad was just lettuce and tomatoes but there wasn't a dressing. I ate some with the flavorful beef which was fine but we didn't finish the salad. The kung pao fish was ok, the fish pieces were deep fried and tossed with sauce, veggies and peanuts. The fish was tender but had a stronger fish taste. If I had to guess I think it was sawai. It went well over the fried rice and salad. Service was friendly and attentive, waters were refilled multiple times. The dining room is large and there's a lot of 4 top tables. They are located in the same strip mall as Katsu cafe, Lolita's, Curry club and Yuk de jang so there's a large parking lot. PT Eatery is a second location of Phung Trang, so they have some of the same menu items. I don't think the butter garlic chicken wings are Vietnamese cuisine but they are good! I'd recommend the chicken wings and Tenderloin with fried rice. read more

Great portions, freshly made. Nothing is mass ordered frozen like many of the other Asian joints in the area. Grab yourself a coffee while you're at it. They make it fresh to order. They crush it with your usual viet joint dishes such as com tam or bun thit nuong. Oh and the wings. The only two places I'd order wings from at as Asian spot in town is PT Eatery and Phuong Trang. Show up hungry and eat away! Better to come as a group so you can order numerous things and share! read more

Great alternative place to Phuong Trang. Smaller menu, but PT Eatery seems to have the "top" dishes from Phuong Trang. They have Banh Mi here (fyi). We love the food here. We came on a Saturday for lunch. Got seating quickly (restaurant about half full). Broken rice dish was great. Lots of food in one entree. My wife had their vermicelli noodle bowl (exactly the same as Phuong Trang). It's great too. One of my go-to dishes. Ube coffee drink was surprisingly delicious. One of the only ube drinks I've ever had that actually had ube flavor (nutty, coconut-y). Yummy. Service was great. Staff consistently came to check on us. Lots of tables here. But I didn't see those large round tables. For bigger groups, they combine the smaller square tables together. For check, just go to register and pay. Note: They charge an automatic 18% for parties 5 or more. We'll come here again. See you next time yummy food. read more

PT Eatery - Vermicelli noodle with Grilled Pork and Egg Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I was so indecisive what I wanted for lunch- closer to Kaiser- the better. It was a todd up between Bahn Mi or pho. I was dead set on a sandwich and saw the menu used the work "house special spread". I thought it was code for "pâté. Because pâté's THE ONLY reason why I want a sandwich! When the waitress asked for my order, I casually order the char grilled pork WITH extra pâté... and that's when my lunch craving got shut down. (Waaaahh!) She informed me they don't use that on their sandwiches and told me it's butter, instead. I decided on a small rare steak & tendon pho with shrimp added to my order. Now, when I say small- it's a great sized small bowl. First glance it looks like- there's hardly anything in it. But, it's packed! No shortage on vermicelli noodles. And with my additional shrimp topping- my ingredients weren't making a mess as I enjoyed each scoop of broth, slivers of steak & plump shrimp. Tails are removed from shrimp- one less thing to fiddle with. It's spacious inside. Plenty of booths, tables in the center of restaurant and some 2 tops. The six piece garlic butter wings were a plus. Not greasy and heavy. Breading was fine, golden, light, very crispy. Tastes like they're sprinkled with MSG (no complaints). I arrived at 11am and the lunch crowds were trickling in. Plenty of parking during this time in their shopping plaza. You can enter eastbound on Clairemont Mesa Blvd or Ruffner Road. read more

Not sure why this place has only 3.5 stars. We stopped in for linner. There were several customers at 4:30pm on a Saturday and lots of tables reserved. The staff found a table big enough to accommodate our large size family without a reservation at 4:30 pm. He had to carry a table and some chairs from the other side of the restaurant. We finished before the reserved table guests arrived but could see it starting to get busy so come early if you don't want to wait. We were seated next to the window and there were a bunch of mosquitoes and a janky looking trap which was kinda weird. The bathrooms were nice and clean as was the tables. The menu (which I forgot to take a photo of) had your usual Vietnamese items but some extras like oxtail pho, short rib pho, knuckle bone pho, and French dip baguette. All was reasonably priced and most pho and vermicelli items were between $14-16. The kids menu was also good with a variety of choices which included fruit and drink (but we didn't get fruit). All in all the service was good and attentive. Not as fast as other places but we didn't feel rushed. Food was good. Lots of meat and veggies. Soup broth was flavorful and I wasn't thirsty after which is a good sign. The French dip was surprisingly good. The meat was tender and juice. The baguette was fresh. We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend. read more

I eat here regularly. I don't know why the ratings are so low. The pho is solid when compared to many other pho options in town. I primarily eat the pho here and not the other dishes. The servers all move quickly, and once seated I've never waited long. The fountain up front and bathrooms could be updated, but aside from that I don't have any complaints with this place. Sounds like a few outliers have heavily skewed the rating here. read more

I came in randomly craving some Vietnamese food. I got the egg noodle wonton soup. My mom got the Bun Rieu. Both were tasty. I thought my egg noodle wonton soup could have used some more broth. The wontons were sitting on top pretty dried out. For the most part it satisfied my craving. For a Sunday afternoon it was quite busy but not as busy as Phoung Trang. I would go again. Service was quick and very accommodating. I also ordered the lemonade soda that was not on the menu. read more

PT Eatery - Pho French Dip! Amazing as always - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Stopped by PT Eatery for a casual lunch and left happy and full. Everything I tried was tasty and dependable, exactly what you hope for in a neighborhood pho restaurant. The service and food came quick. It was a clean interior and very spacious restaurant. What I ordered: * Garlic Butter Chicken Wings: These were the star for me. Crispy skin, rich garlic-butter flavor, and a sprinkle of MSG that really amps up the umami. If you're MSG-sensitive, just know it's there but flavor-wise, no complaints. * Pho Tai: Generous portion for a "small" bowl with a good amount of steak. The broth leans herbal rather than beefy, which isn't my personal preference, but it was still comforting and well-balanced. * Broken Rice Plate: Classic, no-frills, and exactly what you'd expect. The portions and flavors were on point. Why I'd come back: PT Eatery doesn't overcomplicate things. You get solid portions, reliable flavors, and a couple of standout dishes (those wings!) that make it worth a revisit. If you like your pho with more herbal notes and want a side of wings that pack a punch, this spot's a safe bet. I'll be back next time, I'll probably ordering those garlic butter wings before I even look at the menu. read more

PT Eatery - We had the glazy chicken wings with the shrimp spring rolls, amazing & the seafood phõ was delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Had the itch since it's cold out at night so we tried a new place. If you kow OG pho places here they are generally a little sparse on decor, this was NOT. Nice ambiance going in and very clean. Wait staff greeted us immediately and the booth was comfortable. Instead of the usual giant squirt bottles of Hoisin and Sriracha, they have individual packets. Labor intensive but definitely more sanitary. Menu was easy to navigate and the waiter was super helpful. Only complaint was an empty water glass after I drained it early in the meal. This is typical for pho places and it was also before closing. The food: Bo La lot was very good, all the veggies are super fresh and the beef/grape leaves were better than most places we've been. The fish sauce was...different. Much sweeter and not as much "substance" as our usuals. Pho was good as well. The broth is a solid base, noodles were good, and there was a lot of delicious oxtail. Meatballs were a little light on flavor. Overall a nice place for date night and worth checking out! read more

Tried PTEatery after discovering Phuong Trang was closed, and wow, what a nice surprise. Good Vietnamese food, and now it's become one of our go-to spots in the Convoy area. Service was prompt and friendly, the place was clean and full of people (always a good sign), and parking was way easier than at Phuong Trang. Big plus--they take cards, unlike PT which is cash-only, and the whole Venmo setup there was always kind of a mess. We ordered the wings both wet and dry--both solid, but I'm team dry. Friends raved about the fried baby back ribs, and my family love the oxtail pho. We also tried the various wraps (delicious), the bun (very good), and the banh mi (I'd probably skip that next time). Only downside? They don't have the clay pot dish that Phuong Trang does... so I guess it depends what you're in the mood for. But overall, PTEatery, the sister spot to Phuong Trang, has officially earned a spot in our regular rotation. read more

We came here for a nice lunch and loved it. I love the paintings on the wall as it gives you the feel of Vietnam. We ordered the garlic butter wings, Rib bone pho and the pork chops rice plate. The wing were soooooo good. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor was good and not too garlicky or salty. The pho was super good as well. It was flavorful and the rib was tender. Loved the rice plate but the pork chops was a little too thin so it was a tad bit dry. Overall it was good and I would definitely be back. The service was good. There was only one server at the time but he did good and we got our food super fast. He was attentive and nice. read more

The food was overall tasty, but I felt like the bread was a little dry and the broth not as flavorful as other Pho places. They were super accommodating though for a pretty large party with my church group so I would say they had great service. The ambiance is very family friendly and simple. They have the decor of Vietnam cities and their outlines on the walls. read more

Tried this pho spot today, and it's definitely fancier than your typical pho joint. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the prices are reasonable for 2025. Most of their soup dishes come in either a regular or large size, and they have a good variety beyond just pho--vermicelli, broken rice, and more. I went with the bun rieu, a crab soup with fried tofu in a tomato-based broth. It's not something you see on menus often, so I had to try it. It was pretty good! Not the best I've ever had, but it hit the spot. Even though I ordered the smaller portion, it was packed with ingredients and had a great broth-to-noodle ratio. My friend got a beef noodle soup and liked it as well. Service was quick and friendly, which is always a plus. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area to try more dishes, though I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for it. Being right across from 99 Ranch makes it a perfect stop if you're grabbing groceries and want a solid meal before or after. read more

Parking is always easy and the vibe is less chaotic. Service has always been great, the lady with the red dyed hair is so quick and friendly. Now for the food...

Pro tip: call ahead to get them to cook the catfish ahead of time because it takes a while! read more

Came here for late lunch. Probably arrived around 1p and waited maybe 10 minutes to be seated. Fast friendly service, food came out in a timely manner. Garlic wings are popular. We also like these egg rolls. Garlic ribs were ok. Pork banh mi good. My husband had the pho French dip, he said it was ok but he never really orders that. This is one of our go to spots for Vietnamese food as they have a lot of options pho, sandwiches, and plate dishes. Forgot to take picture of the pho, I usually get a large combo and add meat ball. Then ask for an extra bowl for my son, can even ask for just extra bowl of noodles and do it that way too. There's a free private parking lot in front. read more
