This place offers some of our favorite takeout! The food is really great . It is very easy to order online through their website and pick up is a breeze. I have never had an order be incorrect and we ask for a lot of substitutions! Everything comes in recyclable containers that we end up reusing because of how nice they are. read more

This is in a Food Court you're off building, but there were plenty of tables. The food was fresh, delicious and fairly priced. We loved it and will be back. read more

It's a hipster restaurant in the food court. The service is minimal. The taste is average: not the worst I've had but it's nothing I would crave or think about coming back for. It is convenient because of its location but the flavor falls short. read more

we very often had lunch at PHO. Today we had lunch at Carlsbad, airport road. We ordered 2 sandwiches .Both sandwich was terrible. Very cheap bread ( roll) from walmart, cold, tofu without the salt. Everything more expence like other PHO. read more

Pretty good pho and nem nuong cuon. We came here on a whim because we just left Legoland and the kids were hungry for some noodles. We realized it was a whole food court (not just a restaurant) and my husband came back with a bunch of buzzers. This would be a fun place to dine and drink if you have time to hang out longer. read more

See all

Fresh and exactly what I wanted. I got the bun vermicelli bowl with bbq chicken and egg roll. Hit the spot on a hot day.

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant! Pho is perfect with lots of meats and packaged to go perfectly so it won't spill. The shaken beef (bo luc luc) was great and it had an unexpected surprise: French fries fried in the beef oil! (Amazingly delicious!!!) the spring roll was also great and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

SUPER slow, took 40min for one bowl of Noodles. When asked what was taking so long, the said they had a large online order ( but they didn't mention the long wait time when ordering). Multiple other people we also waiting and complaining. No such wait for all the other restaurants. Would have switched to Thai had I known. read more

What the Pho!!!! It's so delicious! I've tried many Pho spot locations and this place has their recipe down! I ordered my typical order which is the Pho Thai (fresh rare filet mignon). But I also came back for the Pho Ga (chicken), which is also my favorite. I plan to come back and try the Banh Mi and the vermicelli bowl next. I am so thankful I can have a hearty meal for my lunch break. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

We have been regulars at Pho-Ever in Encinitas since that location opened, but we moved to Carlsbad from Encinitas and we haven't been going as often as we used to. District 1 Pho has the same awesome owner, and most importantly the same great food. Our go to is BBQ pork spring rolls and the BBQ pork vermicelli (bun) bowl. The rare steak pho is also yummy. We are stoked that the same great flavors are available close to our new home! read more

I don't like Pho, but I am trying to force myself to enjoy it for the healthiness. And this place had Pho that I was able to swallow down

Small servings for the price but it's absolutely super tasty Pho. Don't expect the size serving you get in Little Saigon buts it worth a try. Best I have found so far in north county. read more

Excellent and tasty food. We ordered the one bun vermicelli bowl with chicken and one with beef. Definitely recommend thos place. Service was fast. read more

Okay food but be warned, it's super expensive given its in a food court. $$$$$ for two bowls of pho plus a Bahn mi sandwich, ouch. Broth needs more depth. Noodles over cooked. Skinny Bahn mi. read more

Vegan Pho, yummy. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Looking forward to trying the BBQ spring rolls next!

I ordered delivery last night. The prices are a bit high. The Pho and appetizer was good but not worth the cost, pretty average. My biggest complaint is the delivery. It was not free and instead of knocking on the door they just left the bag. After an hour I found it. The Pho was cold and the meat was warm. I probably will not order from here again. read more

I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in North County. I would say this is by far the best. The pho is so good. I felt I got transported to Vietnam. If you're looking for an authentic pho place, this is it. read more

This place is really authentic! My mom, who immigrated from Vietnam, was even impressed (and trust me, she's very picky about her viet restaurants). We ordered the meatball pho, egg rolls, spring rolls, pork and shrimp rice bowl, and chicken and shrimp vermicelli bowl. The pho broth was very flavorful without the taste of MSG - really deep and complex flavors. The shrimp, pork, and chicken had a great grill taste that I often miss from other Vietnamese restaurants. The egg rolls and spring rolls were also a hit! This place is making really authentic Vietnamese food so I highly recommend. read more

Get your a$$ to district 1. I've yet to try the pho so I can't speak to how incredible it is (although it looks amazing) but it's because I am so fixated on the filet lime salad. Legit the best salad I have ever had. The flavors are phenomenal, textures are out of this world, and the spice level (at a measly 4 for me) is perfection. They don't skimp on portion size either. Cannot say enough good things and can't wait to try the pho!! read more

Wonderful food in all respects. The Pho and rolls are all fresh and sumptuously delicious. Owners are so sweet also.

Best pho in the north coastal Carlsbad, Leucadia, and Encinitas corridor. Very traditional flavors and nice bone broth.

This place is pretty good. The broth of the chicken pho is excellent but my only qualm is that the chicken can be so dry sometimes. like incredibly dry. The last time I was here I couldn't finish off the meat because it was so hard to chew. I do really like the broth though so 4 stars, hopefully it'll be less dry next time I go! read more

Amazing location and great vibe at this spot WINDMILL food court!!! Been traveling and staying in Carlsbad for many years but always missing a good PHO spot!!! Finally found it!!! The broth is soothing, flavorful and savory!!! But the thin rare steak offered here is the KING of the show!!! Tender, fresh and fresh great quality of meat....Making this PHO spot a must!!! Two brothers run the front and back of kitchen offering your favorites with a twist!! Make sure u try their spin off Saltado but maybe hold off on fries? read more

Had the Bun w/double pork. Quick service, excellent quality and great flavor. This was probably the best Bun I've had in San Diego. This Windmill as re-envisioned was a great idea - part food court, part lounge and...a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating plus very easy, plentiful parking. They should increase the advertising though. I have driven by many times but only ended up here after browsing for appliances nearby and needing lunch. I consulted Yelp which of course did the trick. But, had I not been nearby and hungry, I probably would still be driving by it wondering what it was but not really caring enough to find out. read more

So so so delicious. Incredible Pho and awesome fresh spring rolls!!! Everything is yummy!! Can't wait for next meal at District 1 Pho!!!

Been waiting for this spot to open since the wind mill opened back up a while back. I ordered the go to rare steak pho to try out the place. The broth was great full of beef flavor and the meat was delicious. I finished my meal drinking the pho broth at the end wanting more. The price is right, It's close to the going rate for pho. The wait time to get my food was not bad at all 10-15 min. Next would be to add the bahn mi on the side and try any other items they have. I'm happy they finally opened. Worth the wait. They Got me coming back PHO more! Cam On! read more

I finally popped in last night to try the Phô and it was absolutely delicious! I literally drank ALL of the broth and that is not something I do unless it's my Momma's Phô! We also got the egg rolls which were perfect. Now - I might be biased because my last name is also Dang - but I think I finally found my favorite Phô spot here in north county! Much love and thanks to the Dang Brothers here. I'll be coming back soon! :) read more

It was ok. We didn't know it was in a dining hall and basically fast food. I would not go out of my way to go here. read more

District 1 Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Love the beef broth pho, it was very flavorful. Broken rice plate with beef and egg rolls was delicious. The sauce for the salad was also, worth tasting. Love the addition to the windmill. read more

Their pho is definitely authentic to District 1. Very good fresh food snd nice people too.

If you have to wait it's because the food is really good and they get a lot of orders. I got the Bun with chicken and pork and it was amazing. The veggies were all fresh, crisp, and refreshing. The portion was generous too. I recommend eating the two toppings (chicken and pork in my case) by themselves or mixing your bowl without them in it. Why?! - They are so good they stand alone and shouldn't be drowned out or watered down by mixing them in. They're not the usual dry charred meat that gets mixed in but rather very tasty and moist meat items. They must be good with the rice dishes. This is the Bun bowl you've been missing out on! read more

I ordered Pho filet mignon and had eggrolls & stir fried beef filet mignon cubes with broken rice to/go yesterday Pho: the broth was very good. It wasn't too sweet like other places where they added too much sugar. Not too much fat floating on the broth. Eggroll: they were so so to me. I've had better Stir fried filet mignon with fries & rice: fantastic. I just had it for lunch. It tasted so good even after being warmed up in the microwave. I am sure it would've been superb if I ate it there instead of having it to-go. I will definitely revisit & I am glad that I found quality Vietnamese place. There are so many Pho places but a lot of them are mediocre. This place was recommended by my Vietnamese coworker. read more

One of my favorite dishes to get here is the Shakin' Beef. A must try if you love flavor and definitely worth the $20 for a plateful of filet mignon steak, mushrooms, onions, fries with rice and salad. read more

Broth is plain and not flavorful. Veggies are hard and uncooked. Ingredients appear fresh, but not a cohesive bowl of pho and doesn't come together. No flavor. Way overpriced. read more

Not gluten-free! The pho and maybe the spring roll sauce must have quite a bit of MSG in there. I could feel it after I went home. So if you're sensitive to gluten, be careful! read more

awesome broken rice, totally exceeded my expectations the pork is just like in Vietnam, the greens are fresh, just fantastic read more

I say their food is yum yum. I don't think you really know great pho soup til you try this place. Congrats for great soft opening. Thank you for good food and excellent service. read more

This is place is awesome, enough said. I go here every few weeks, never disappointed. Pho is always delicious, staff is always friendly and courteous, nothing bad to say whatsoever, except maybe that prices are a bit high. However, I've been to Vietnam and had pho there, and this pho is pretty good. read more

They delivered early! The food was fresh and delicious-will be ordering from them again for sure.

Highly recommend. We love Pho. Ordered this Togo. Packaging was amazing. Food was so tasty.
