    Pho
    Jennifer G.

    So many options for spring rolls! Visiting from out town. I love spring rolls so had to try this place. They have combos available. You can use class pass to purchase here. The service was good. They recommended something my boyfriend could have (shellfish & nut allergy). He got the chicken pho I tried shrimp roll, shrimp & Crispy snack roll & beef pho roll. The crispy snack was delightful. Enjoyed the crunch within the roll. Came with 3 sauces- coconut, peanut & another one i dont remember but it was similar to peanut sauce. All tasty You order from the menu at table or you can place to go order at counter. Its smaller space in strip mall.

    wow i came here looking for a vegan friendly lunch special, and this place served exactly that!!!! very very vegan friendly lunch specials that were unique and inventive to me. i also feel like there were a lot of diff components for a very reasonable price. my order included fried tofu, egg roll, two spring rolls (one with little crunchies, and one with avocado), soup, 3 yummy sauces, and iced jasmine green tea. staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about veggie modifications. i will definitely be coming back here again!! parking was a bit stressful because they have a small lot out front shared between all the businesses there. be prepared to park on the street a few blocks away.

    Special Vermicelli Bowl
    Helen H.

    The location is within a strip mall and parking wasn't too difficult when we went in the morning. Service was minimal. Rolls are popular as their name is literally spring roll. I decided to go with the special vermicelli bowl instead- pork, chicken, grilled shrimp, and egg roll. I didn't care for the fish sauce or the peanut sauce. I would also preferred the meat to have more of a charred flavor. The plate was average, but I was quite hungry and had no problem finishing it. We did order the special goi cuon to go. I didn't know what was special about it until later. There's a fried spring roll inside the fresh spring roll. It wasn't crunchy anymore when we ate it though.

    This is my go to local spot for a quick bite to eat! Never disappoints me and fresh food every time. MY FAVORITE!! First off, the staff here is so friendly and it's family owned. Always providing amazing recommendation and the service is fast. Second, any item here is delicious. Never had such a unique spot offer spring rolls of any sorts. I love the combo spring roll #1 for only $14 you get a variety of spring rolls and dumplings with a side of soup. Such a good deal! I also love their vermicelli dishes, Banh mi, and pho. If you're looking for a delicious spot in the Hillcrest area, I recommend stopping by for a bite! Food: 10/10 never disappoints, delicious and hearty Service: 10/10 so friendly and fast Parking: 8/10 small parking lot but easy to find spots to park!

    Vegan #4 lunch special
    Jay D.

    I'm so glad I found this place! I dropped by on a whim while shopping in the area, not familiar with the restaurants here, was quickly looking for a good Asian place on Yelp & luckily Goi Cuon was super close. I got the #4 lunch special, all vegan. So many different textures & 3 different dipping sauces, one sweet & sour, another sweet brown sauce & a white coconut-butter garlic, yum! I liked all of it, served with a comforting, light soup & tea. It was also helpful they have a small parking lot shared with the other businesses in the mini mall. Thank you for the delicious meal, I will definitely be back!

    Pork bahn mi w Egg

    Goi Con is that tiny neighborhood spot that operates with the confidence of a national chain that somehow forgot to build the other locations. They've got the swagger of a place that assumes everyone in America is already fully invested in the roll lifestyle. You walk in and they greet you like you're returning to your preferred membership tier. The menu reads like the product catalog of a company that went public on the strength of one idea: roll everything. Summer rolls, spring rolls, egg rolls, pho rolls. They don't present these like innovations. They present them like household staples. Like you've been packing pho rolls in your kids' lunchboxes for years and they're just helping you restock. The pho is solid, the kind of dependable bowl that would absolutely anchor a fast casual chain if they ever decided to expand into airports. But the roll menu is where they flex. It's massive, borderline corporate, like someone in the back is running quarterly R and D on new fillings. Every option feels like a limited time offer you saw advertised during a football game. And because the place is so small, the whole experience feels like you've stumbled into the flagship store of a brand that doesn't exist anywhere else. A little test kitchen disguised as a neighborhood joint. You're not just ordering lunch. You're participating in a soft launch for a lifestyle they assume the rest of the country is already living.

    Sugarcane shrimp crispy snack spring roll
    Brooke T.

    The name of the place means spring roll in Vietnamese, and they definitely do them right! It's my go-to place for a quick bite especially when going to the zoo or Balboa Park. Everyone I've recommended the place to absolutely loves it too. I've only sat down and eaten there a couple times, and so far, everything I've sampled was really delicious. Only complaint would be that it's a little more expensive than I'm used to, but it is really good quality and authentic. My favorite thing to get is the sugarcane shrimp with crispy snack spring roll, and I can devour 3-4 of them in one sitting. I love the crunch mixed with the fresh veggies and the flavor of the shrimp. The dipping sauce is super yummy too, and they dont skimp--they give you a whole container per roll.

    I went back again to try their noodle dishes - Pho Beef Special and Special Vermicelli Bowl. And wow, I was thoroughly impressed by the noodle dishes! The pho was very fragrant even though it was takeout. The broth warmth my soul after I heated it up at home. It wasn't as hearty as other places but was still comforting. The amount of protein was also plentiful. YUM. The only downside (not really a downside) was the type of noodles that were used. They were the thicker noodles that's I didn't care for as I prefer the thinner ones. The vermicelli bowl was beautifully prepared. It came with two sauces: one peanut and one fish sauce. The only downside was the shrimp! They were quite small. But overall, the entirety of the dish was delicious! I do think the next time I visit, I would mix and match with the different items the restaurant offers rather than sticking to one specific item such as only the Combos or just the soups. The variety really gives a better experience!

    fried egg banh mi
    T. Jay S.

    This is definitely my go-to spot for fried egg banh mi! Must admit it's been a while since I've tried their pho, but their spring rolls are definitely on point. I will usually get a side of beef broth with my egg banh mi and if that's an indication of their pho it's gotta be good. My favorite thing about the banh mi that I get are the crispy fried garlic pieces they put on top of the egg. Service is solid, nothing over-the-top but never ever rude. Food always comes out pretty fast and it's always good. The place itself has plenty of seating, I've never been there and had trouble finding a seat. The tables are always very clean and the counter where the food is served is also always spotless. Parking on the other hand is a completely different beast -just be flexible in where you park and be ready to walk a few minutes if there's no parking in the lot. Solid spot!

    Vietnamese salad bowl
    Jaz R.

    I've always enjoyed this place for their spring rolls and Vietnamese salad bowls, but unfortunately my experience on March 17, 2026 completely changed my opinion. We called ahead and placed a pickup order as we've done before. However, when I got home and started eating my Vietnamese salad, I discovered a bug on one of the shrimp. It was honestly very disappointing and disgusting. That same night, I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. They asked how I wanted to proceed, and since I don't live close by, I politely requested a refund. They agreed to this, but to this day I have not received any refund for the order or any follow-up regarding the situation. Sadly, because of this experience and the lack of resolution, I won't be returning. I hope this review helps other customers moving forward.

    Special vermicelli "bowl."
    Jonathan D.

    I was on my way back to LA after visiting San Diego for a conference, and I needed somewhere to grab dinner before I hit the road. I was craving Vietnamese food; I find it to be light and "clean," which makes it ideal as a pre-travel meal. In I went. It's not a huge place, but it's comfortable and welcoming. I'm a sucker for a good vermicelli bowl, and theirs, while technically on a plate, ticked that box for sure. I opted for the special bowl, which came with an egg roll, grilled pork and shrimp. It came out fairly speedily, and everything was nicely cooked--loved the pork and the egg roll in particular. It was an extremely satisfying dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and they were nice enough to let me fill up my water bottle prior to the trip. If I were back in San Diego, I'd be happy to dine here again.

    Combo 1 - delicious!
    Jessica C.

    Goi Cuon is delicious, authentic Vietnamese food! I've had combo 1 many times, the spring rolls are crazy good as are the fried items. We also had the special vermicelli bowl that comes with chicken, pork and shrimp. Super tasty, fresh and filling! Service is fast and professional. You can park in the lot for free and I haven't had any issue. I highly recommend Goi Cuon, support a local business by checking them out!

    Always wanted to go here and a friend chose this place to take me to lunch. What a delight . The food was yummy for sure and a reasonable quantity for the cost. The ladies making the food were a delight and they showed me how to make some rolls.

    what a hidden gem!…read more the fish sauce wings were tasty (like sweet soy garlic) & rly crispy. one order came w 6, & they weren't too huge (the flavor was all throughout) or too tiny green mango salad is tart, crunchy & refreshing. it's dressed similarly to thai green papaya salad & came w cucumber, some carrot, thai basil, coriander, an unexpected kick from thai chili, & was topped w thinly sliced cuttlefish (like squid), crispy onions & sesame. i've never had june plum before but it was also tart w even more of a crunch. i liked it but it was a bit too fibrous, so i might order without next time. (also viet coriander is a bit of an acquired taste, it must be like how some ppl don't like cilantro) the hanoi pork came w some slices & 2 meatballs of bbq pork (w whole peppercorns) in a small bowl of fish sauce broth, topped w the classic pickled carrots & daikon w a few slices of green papaya. it also came w a separate plate of rice noodles, lettuce, mint, & shiso (the big purple leaves - they taste peppery, almost cinnamon-y), so you can mix & match what you like in your own bowl. idk that the pork stood out from other bbq pork, but everything was tasty. the mint rly helped to balance the savoriness of the pork the nice surprise too was they gave us free lil desserts! sticky rice & black eyed peas w coconut cream, much like thai sticky rice. they were in those lil sauce containers for takeout, w lil gelato spoons, but it was just enough to hit the spot the place is located inside the vinh hung supermarket (which itself is in an old movie theater building, so the layout is bizarre), & it kind of looks like storage space, even w perennial christmas decorations lol. but don't sleep, bc at the end of the day, service was friendly & super fast, while the food still tasted fresh. tables & utensils were clean. to-go boxes & bags were outside for self-service. & prices were rly reasonable. i can def see this becoming another go-to spot!

The chef knows what they're doing because the textures of this salad were very well conceived as well--top layer of crispy fried shallots, chewy layer of thinly sliced cuttlefish, and expertly julienned mango plus plum in a delightful fish sauce/chili dressing. Fiancee got the fried soft shell crab, which was delicately prepared and served with a sweet and savory oyster sauce-esque topping. Neither of us had ever seen Vietnamese rice infused with fish roe before, but this dish was served with it and fiancee thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

Honestly, I would have bought the entire banana loaf if they had been willing to sell it to me! Definitely give this place a try.
