    pho vegetable side

    This place is located in a small, unassuming strip mall of Mission Gorge boulevard in Santee. It's next to Okawa Steak & Sushi. We were craving pho soup and decided to check this place out. The menu is full of other entrees, and I recommend trying some of their other dishes as well. We ordered a pho short ribs, pho filet mignon, miso ramen and shoyu ramen. The ramen noodles were delicious and they had a firm texture and were able to maintain their shape without becoming too soggy. The ramen soup was refreshing and flavorful. I had the pho fillet mignon. The broth had a complex flavor profile of hearty, and savory with undertones of onions and garlic. Tammi was extremely friendly. She walked us through how she prepares the pho broth each day. I could tell she took great care and pride in her work. We also ordered the watermelon lemonade. The taste was refreshing and you can tell it was made from fresh watermelon. We also tried the mango pudding sago dessert. It was sweet and had jackfuit and coconut jelly. My kids love it. Overall, this place is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is a quaint quiet place to enjoy a nice meal with your family. I implore everybody to give this place a try. The prices are fair, the staff is kind and the food is delicious. Will come back to try their poke dishes when they are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

    Tofu soup with pork, beef bulgogi, and passio fruit lemonade.

    What a hidden gem in Santee! The hostess was so funny and kind! And the food was deeeelish! Husband enjoyed the beef bulgogi and I had the tofu soup with pork. Broth had great depth of flavor...not just spicy for the sake of spice. We'll be back!

    Tofu bibimbap

    The place is nice and service was friendly. It looks clean and new inside. They have an unusual mix of different Asian cuisine Vietnamese Japanese and Korean. I got tofu bibimbap, my wife and daughter got chicken catsu, and my son got beef bulgogi. We all enjoyed our meals. It was a bit pricey at about $20 a plate and portions were smaller than I imagined. It was tasty though so I'll be back.

    Vegetable and pork fried dumplings

    We came here for the first time, we wanted to give this a try since we live here in Santee. The young lady greeted us and was so courteous. She sat us and explained the daily specials. We ordered our food was given to us within a timely manner and so were our drinks. It was so good, the flavors were amazing. My mom ordered the tan tan ramen, I had the garlic shrimp and we had the pork and vegetable dumplings. Everything tasted amazing and we will sure come again! I recommend giving this local restaurant a try, the food was delicious and the young lady was nice and great. Clean restaurant and ambience was nice.

    Shrimp 2 Piece Spring Rolls ( goi cuon )
    alexis h.

    I knew we went off the rails when we didn't order a soup for our first time here. Expensive. I was trying to order ahead for pickup online and the prices were high so I decided to go in and place my order to see if they were any different (which they were). The establishment was ok. Decently clean, nothing special. Service was fine. Spring Rolls- shrimp. Probably some of the plainest spring rolls I've ever had. Browning bamboo shoots, interesting looking peanut sauce. Very bland tasting, nothing special. Salt & Pepper Wings- the menu online showed them served with tomatoes and cucumbers. Ours just has slight grilled onions and jalapeno, I was looking for the extra vegetables. Small and very very greasy wings. 6 come in an order and online they are $16.96. Very expensive for what you get. I tried to order egg noodles with chicken that I saw online, but they told me they only had ramen noodles. So we received a to go with cooked ramen noodles, minimal vegetables, and overdone chicken. It tasted like very dry ramen with no broth. I knew we made a mistake not ordering a soup. We'll try again with a different order next time.

    AYCE menu
    Ryan N.

    Ordered takeout twice now from Broth & Beyond, and both times have been great! Not too many asian food options in Santee, especially Korean food. I had the bulgolgi bibimbap and it was very tasty and enough for two servings, will have to try it at the restaurant next time in a hot dol-sot. Called ahead and the wait was about 15 minutes. Inside there is plenty of seating, and the dining area is newly renovated and clean. Also looking forward to trying their AYCE menu!

    Mix of Korean dishes and Vietnamese. I had the short rib beef pho. Filling enough and satisfying. Curious to try the Korean plates next time. They had a tasty mango passion fruit Sprite drink. Place had more seating than I expected. Tab was over $50 for two entrees and a drink.

    Pho house special
    Myphuong L.

    We were a bit skeptical when a place has their hands dipped in so many cuisines. We skipped the Korean food and stuck with Vietnamese. We ordered: -Fish sauce wings ($12 for 6): I love that it was served on a plate of lettuce, Cucumber, and tomatoes. The wings were not overly battered but still had the crunch at every bite. The sauce had the umami flavor of fish sauce with the thick consistency but not runny. -Pho house special ($16): Not bad, on the sweeter end. Reminds me of home cooking, didn't taste any msg. Fresh and light broth. Sriracha brand makes a difference and they carry the Flying Goose brand which we are not a fan. We had left overs and used the rooster brand at home which tasted even better. -Giant beef bone ($12): Giant for sure from the knee cap but not much meat. It had marrow. Ask for scissors. -BBH #1 ($16): Tasted fresh and clean like home cooking. No msg. However, it lacked the spiciness and bold flavors. I was disappointed that it wasn't served with banana blossom. This place has potential. The service was outstanding. You could satisfied your Viet and Korean cravings. Plenty of parking.

    Classic MISO RAMEN ( my miso)
    Moriah L.

    Hands down the best ramen and pho place ever!!! The dumplings egg rolls I mean all of it I highly recommend this place. The server Lilly was very good and attentive. Service is quick to get food too. Delicious!!! Look at the sweet note they left me when I ordered pick up

    Soft opening menu
    John C.

    My friend told me about this place, it's in a soft opening. The place previous to this restaurant was the infamous Bagel & Donut Bar. I never ate there because of the horrible reviews I saw. Broth & Beyond has only been in business 2 days. I am surprised they are on top of their game so well as a brand spanking new restaurant. I ordered fried eggrolls and Pho with steak & brisket. Broth was flavorful and not greasy. I could taste the cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. Can't wait to come back when they add the other menu items. Great start!

    No one has hair here...
    John A.

    I ordered food from Broth and Beyond on Mother's Day for my wife, and the experience was honestly unacceptable. We found a hair in the food, which completely ruined the meal. When I called to let them know, the woman who answered told me, "NO ONE HAS HAIR HERE!!!" I went in to return the food, and the same employee who claimed that had a full head of long black hair. Instead of apologizing or trying to make it right, the attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. Mother's Day is supposed to be special, and this place turned it into a headache. Definitely won't be ordering from here again.

    Good ramen & friendly service. first time, asked about what ramen bowls we should try. And a kind lady helped out. Thank you

    Garlic seafood
    Charlene L.

    We came here on a Sunday for dinner because we saw that they had all you can eat. I was looking forward to it because we don't have too many asian spots in east county and the menu had a pretty good variety. The food ranged from okay to pretty good. The restaurant itself seemed clean and there was some simple decor. I was a bit disappointed with the service. It wasn't that busy with only three groups of diners and only one woman working as the server. The service was not very good but warmed up a little towards the end. When we ordered the AYCE, the server asked us if we read the rules and emphasized that if you don't finish something they'll charge you extra. That wasn't a problem, we enjoy AYCE and we already understood. Once we started ordering, she warned us it was a lot and told us we can order more later as we already ordered a good amount even though I wanted to order a bit more. The server was nicer to the other people to dining but she was pretty short with us until towards the end of our meal when we were about to leave. As for the food, for AYCE, the portion sizes are the same full size as if you were ordering a la carte. Still, we wanted to try a variety of items. We ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls, salt and pepper wings, corn cheese, kimchi, side salad, pickled cucumbers, brisket, garlic seafood, white tonkotsu ramen with pork chasu, and a Vietnamese iced milk coffee to go. The egg rolls and wings were okay, not bad but not amazing. The corn cheese was pretty plain and we had to add a good amount of seasoning (pepper and the salty sauce already on the table since there wasn't salt on the tables and we didn't want to ask the server since she seemed already irritated at us asking for a few things). The pickled cucumbers and kimchi were very salty and tasted like it was marinating for too long. The brisket was okay but it was a huge serving. The garlic seafood was a mix of fish balls, mussels, swai, and onions and was very oily. The ramen was surprisingly the star of the show. It was unexpectedly good and that is definitely the dish I would come back for. There was a lot of meat though (like 6 slices of chasu) which I actually wasn't a big fan of. I also wanted to try the pho as the restaurant seems primarily Viet even though there were a variety of asian dishes. I will try that next time as the ramen compelled me to come back and try some other dishes. The iced coffee was very sweet. It was still good but I had to slowly sip/savor it. Overall, we didn't have the best experience service wise but the food was okay/ramen was good so I would give this place a second chance. I felt like they didn't really want us to order AYCE since we could eat a lot but for the value and the quality of some of the dishes, I would give it another chance.

Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7
