After getting home from a long trip, all I wanted was something comforting, easy, and satisfying: this place hit the spot. My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday, and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The restaurant was spotless, peaceful, and the food came out incredibly fast, which was exactly what we needed after a day of travel recovery. One thing I really enjoyed was the unique combination of pho and sushi on the menu. I've had plenty of each separately around San Diego, but this is the first place I've personally experienced offering both under one roof. It's a great option when you're craving something warm and comforting but also want a few fresh sushi rolls. I ordered the Philadelphia Roll. I typically prefer avocado over cucumber in my rolls, so I would have loved that swap, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. I also ordered a bowl of pho, which was exactly what I needed that day: warm and comforting. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid bowl that delivered on the comfort-food front. Between the clean atmosphere, quick service, and the ability to satisfy both my sushi and pho cravings in one visit, Bamboo Pho & Sushi was a great lunch stop. We'll definitely keep it in mind the next time we're in the area and looking for a relaxing meal read more

San Diego has many great Vietnamese restaurants and sandwich shops with fabulous Phở -- a Vietnamese soup dish consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat. I'm glad we finally tried Bamboo Phở & Sushi the other evening, albeit for take-away. I enjoyed one of my favorites, Oxtail Phở (5/5 $22.50). There were five tender chunks of oxtail in one of the most flavorful phở broth I've enjoyed, including in Vietnam. IMHO it's best phở broth in San Diego. Placing my order by phone was easy, and it was ready when I arrived. Service was great. read more

Ordered pho for takeout tonight-- they're very convenient to my house. I choose a small pho with rare steak and brisket, and it really tickled my tastebuds. Reasonable price, $16.50, considering the generous portion (photo shows 80% of it in a serving bowl!). Both types of beef were tender and delicious. Yummy broth too. I'll become a frequent customer! read more

This place is so consistent! I love having both my pho and sushi fix. Having only 4 pieces with a small bowl of pho is the best combo, please try! The black board at the entrance has the different combos. You will not be able to order it yourself via the QR code in the table. The workers are always so nice and attentive. This restaurant can host big parties as the tables can easily be combined. For dinner, there were 4 parties of 8+ eating and everything came out without issues. I do not think they skip out in the portion ever! read more

This has become one of my favorite sushi spots in San Diego. The quality of the fish really stands out--everything tasted incredibly fresh. The portions are much larger than at many other sushi restaurants, and the prices are fair considering the quality and size. The service was welcoming and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Great sushi, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and excellent value overall. read more

This spot is one of my local favorites. Initially, I thought it was an interesting combination to serve pho and sushi. The pho is pretty good and authentic, but what I am really impressed with is their chirachi bowl. The quality and quantity of their sashimi slices are on par to what you would typically get from a Japanese restaurant. This is what keeps me coming back. read more

We got an uber eats deal from this place and I was super happy with my experience. When I picked up the meal the restaurant looked really cute and well-maintained inside. Bright colors. Nice lighting. Fun vibe: The kind of place that would be perfect to grab lunch with someone you wanted to catch up with. We had requested to leave some of the items out of the meal and they definitely listened and accommodated our requests which is always a huge relief when trying a new place. The pho was savory and the meats complimented it really nicely. I thought the bogo was a great deal because both my husband and I love pho (and eat a lot of it). The to go order was hot and ready the moment I picked it up and the staff was super nice. I'll admit I loved the old Rubios that was at this location but I'm happy to say I'm absolutely fine with the change now. I'll definitely come back to try more of their menu! read more

We decided to check out this place for a noodle soup fix. Started with spring rolls. They were pretty standard. I ordered the wonton soup with filet . It was pretty delicious. Broth was beefy and flavorful. It was a decent size bowl. I couldn't finish. The service was good, but we were the only people in there mid afternoon on a Saturday so not sure how it would've been if they were busy. Overall pretty good, but also spendy for what it is. I guess it is Carmel Valley so everything is pricy. But thumbs up on the food and service! read more

Goten take out a few times but finally made it in. The restaurant is so clean. We ordered two rolls, an app, and tempura. It tasted very fresh. But the service is what set this place apart. We brought our 1 yr old which I know most places hate to see coming. One of the workers gave our son a free cute ice cream cone and he loved it. As we were cleaning up our mess, the worker came back over and told us not to worry and he would take care of it. And then he gave us another ice cream to go! This place is very clean! The highchair looked brand new (which is so incredibly hard to come by) read more

First time at Bamboo Pho & Sushi in San Diego, and it did not disappoint! My husband ordered the special pho, which was packed with flavor and had a really rich, comforting broth. I had the seafood pho, and it was loaded with shrimp, squid, and fish -- super fresh and so satisfying. We also shared the pork & shrimp eggrolls, which were crispy and flavorful, perfect with the dipping sauce. A sweet bonus: they surprised our two daughters with free ice cream after the meal! Such a thoughtful touch that made our visit even more special. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the space is clean and cozy. We'll definitely be back if we're ever down in San Diego again! read more

Had a craving for pho so, i decided to try this spot in the Highlands plaza, which looks fairly new. The Rib Pho was flavorful, it came with 2 ribs which, i thought was enough... i wish it was off the bone though. Please do not make the utensils and napkins readily available on each table. This becomes a sanitary issue because we all know not everyone's hands are clean and some cough or sneeze at the table and you don't want these exposed. read more

A hidden gem in SD!! My friend introduced me to this place as they're fairly new & they exceeded my expectations. I'm usually skeptical of fusion restaurants with large menus as they tend not to be good, but Bamboo Pho & Sushi proved me wrong. We loved everything we ordered aside from the salmon skin salad. The salmon skin was too fried/cooked incorrectly that it was practically salted tortilla chips, so not what you'd expect for taste and texture. Otherwise, the sushi, gyoza, and garlic butter fries were amazing! Their portions are VERY generous and affordable. 9 pcs for a sushi roll!? LOVE!! My new go-to spot next time I'm in the area :-) read more

Went here last night for our friend's birthday celebration and this place did not disappoint. Two of our friends and my wife had the their special which is small pho with sushi, my other friend had chicken pho while her husband had the #1, I had the oxtail pho and the birthday friend had the sumo sushi combo, I would have given the a 5 star if not for the vegetable is too little for 7 people that I did not even get some bean sprouts, the service was really quick and it did not take long to get the food. Not a lot of people for a Sunday night since it's already dinner time so we got seated quick. I love that they give dessert after dinner service. They also have TV on the wall that you can stream from your cellphone and our table is next to the tv. A good place to get pho and sushi at the same time. read more

I got takeout here the other night. Depth of flavor on the pho was really good and it tasted fresh. The spring rolls were crispy and the dipping sauce was good! Service was fast, I ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Great spot for takeout. read more

Paid by card. Bamboo Pho & Sushi is in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I've gone here several times on weekday nights for dinner and my family loves going here. The restaurant is clean, the workers are nice, and the food is good with large portions. I can't believe how HUGE their menus are. They have 2 full menus (1 for Vietnamese and 1 for Japanese). My family and I like to go here because of the great selection and food. Sometimes it's hard to decide what to get. We usually get pho, chirashi bowls, and some sushi. I would definitely recommend this place and would go back. read more

There's a nice little cluster of Asian eateries that have cropped up at the Highlands Village in Carmel Valley. Bamboo Pho & Sushi is one of the newer tenants with offerings of Japanese and Vietnamese food under one roof. The inside was clean and modern with an ornamental pink flower tree in the middle of the dining area. A special menu was displayed in front of the service counter while a couple of two-sided menu sheets, one for each type of cuisine, was given to me when I sat down at a table. There were over 30 types of pho on one page with the remaining pages displaying mainly Japanese grub (e.g. yakisoba, sashimi, sushi, nigiri, maki rolls, hand rolls). The number of choices was impressive for one kitchen to manage. I was in the mood for sushi so my picks were the following... * Eel Hand Roll * Scallop Hand Roll * Paradise Roll * Pink Roll The Paradise Roll had six pieces and was rice-less with an external wrap made of cucumber. The inside contents were sashimi (salmon/tuna), gobo, radish sprout, and soy paper. I usually like to order one of these kinds of rolls because it is healthier and less filling without rice. The Pink Roll was divided into eight pieces and consisted of spicy tuna and cucumber on the inside and salmon with dabs of spicy mayo on the outside. The heat was mild from the sriracha in the mayo. The two hand rolls were fairly ordinary in size and taste for the cost. The service from the waiter was prompt and efficient. He was curious why I was snapping photos of different items inside the restaurant. If this place wasn't so far from where I live, then I would consider returning to try one of the bowls of pho. For now, I gave a four star rating for my Japanese meal at Bamboo Pho & Sushi. read more

Pros: - pho broth was well flavored and comes with plenty of meat and noodles - beef bone marrow was delicious Cons: - the beef bone was an add on, it's huge but it barely had any meat on it so not worth its price (I've had ones in other restaurants which came with plenty of fatty meat still hanging on the side). Though the marrow was good, it wasn't much. It also tasted a bit like chemicals for some reason. read more

3-4 Stars! I came here with my grandma, my mom, and cousin! My grandma is actually almost a regular here. She enjoys it. We came around 2pm for lunch. The interior of the place is super spacious and clean. It's decorated simple but cute. They have lots of seating. A lot of condiments, utensils, and plates/saucers available as well. I wish they used real chopsticks (hard plastic) because the take out chopsticks that were given were rough and splintered. There's 3 laminated menus, front and back and they are all different from each other. It's a bit of a mind boggler to flip back and forth and shuffle through them. I think having it in a small booklet from would be easier to read. They do pho and sushi, but I would recommend to skip the sushi (rolls) at least. We ordered their Lunch Special and ordered 3 different rolls: Salmon, Eel, and California Roll. To sum up the sushi: T said, "the sushi was equivalent to old Vons sushi." - The Salmon Roll was mainly rice. - The Eel Roll had to be the most disappointing out of the three since they were quite stingy on giving eel. You'd think that the eel would be laid nicely on top of each slice, but it was actually inside the roll. And the pieces were very small...paper thin. The only part that had reasonable sizes were the end pieces. But even then, there was just too much rice and the roll didn't hold its shape at all. And sadly the eel sauce was quite thin on top-- my fav part of eel sushi! - The California Roll was okay-- but once again WAYYY too much rice. Onto the pho, my cousin and I shared a Large Bowl of their Pho Tai! Next time I'd ask for the rare meat to be on the side since it had already over cooked by the time it got to the table. The noodles were perfectly cooked-- not hard and not too soft. I really enjoyed eating this bowl of pho. It also had green onions and slivered white onions. The broth was good, it was light colored but flavorful. Not heavy. They brought us a plate of pho herbs: pho basil, beansprouts, lime, and jalapeño. I would have liked to see more beansprouts or at least another plate of pho herbs since 2 people at the table ordered pho. Overall, I'd come here again to try something else off the menu. Maybe some appetizers or another bowl of pho! My grandma enjoys their yakisoba. It's a cute spot, spacious, and great pricing. They even have lollipops at the door you can grab before you leave. read more

Definitely recommend if you are looking for great Vietnamese cuisine and sushi dishes. read more

This new spot is pretty good! I went here to celebrate some March 2026 birthdays. The waiter was very kind and friendly, and gave us a free slice of crepe cake to celebrate. I had meatball pho, the softshell crab appetizer, and calamari. My grandfather had the fried rice. The pho was really good, the softshell crab was super delicious (get it with salad, the portion size is good, and the salad is delicious besides), and the calamari was a bit bland. The fried rice was wonderful. A lovely spot with kind employees. I'll come back when I'm in the area, for sure. read more

We've ordered pho and sushi from this place multiple times, and it's been consistently great. The pho is solid and comforting, but the sushi really stands out--exceptional, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. They offer unique sushi combinations with toppings like strawberry, mango, and even kiwi, which were surprisingly delicious and well balanced. We've done pickup each time, and every order was accurate and packaged well. Everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend giving this spot a try. read more

We came here at a Saturday night. It wasn't busy here and it seems like a new opened place. My husband found it randomly.

2nd time eating here. Ordered large pho with rare steak. The broth was tasty but only got 4 very small pieces of beef. I told the waiter who was friendly enough and offered to give more meat. But I turned it down since I shouldn't have to complain to get decent value. I try to support local businesses in my neighborhood. Unfortunately won't be coming back. Portions are too small for the price. read more

Love it. 2 for 1 and while you'd think one would get compromised, both Vietnamese and Japanese sides of the menu are fantastic!

I'm so happy a pho and sushi spot was opened in Torrey Highlands. It was our second time here but this time we brought our little kids. Everything tasted delicious - we ordered a large pho tai which was big enough to share with our two little kids, the egg rolls were crispy and there's a good selection of different sushi rolls. The staff is friendly and the place is nice and clean. It even had TV's that kept the kids entertained. Also after eating, the kids were surprised with free ice cream!

I'm not going to lie, but when I saw the name for this place, I was expecting to be let down as so many restaurants that focus on different types of cuisines usually don't have good quality food especially in the Asian scene. This restaurant, however, truly surprised me. Not only was their pho and broth fantastic and on par with the best of them in Mira Mesa, but their sushi quality was also spectacular. I'm happy to have a spot like this open up so close to the 56. The staff was attentive and the design of the place is family friendly. Highly recommend a try! read more
