I was there around 6 pm and I waited for the girl to clean up the floor in the back area. There was…read moreno making me know she would be right with me, and then she got up and walked to the register for my order. She seemed like she really didn't want to be there. She took my order and then I kept thinking she would wash her hands since she was just wiping up the floor, but she didn't. As she took the cup from stack her hand touched the rim of my cup. I had ordered a Tai Tea no Boba. The rest of the time she didn't touch my the rim of my cup. But I did see how she was touching the milk carton and the handle of the Tea, and thought how the next person would touch it and it would be dirty. I have worked making Juices and know that is not acceptable and needed you to know that and anyone else will be on the lookout. My tea tasted good, this was my second time there.

The pho broth is rich and comforting, the portions are generous, and the ingredients are always fresh. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome every time you walk in. The restaurant is clean, service is quick, and it's become one of my favorite spots in Oceanside when I'm craving Vietnamese food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great pho and excellent customer service! Will definitely be back again and again!

If im comparing this to the pho options in Little Saigon, it is definitely not the best I have had,…read morebut it IS the best for the oceanside area. The portions are a great size for 1-2 people, and they are very quick to deliver. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is very friendly! They have a "challenge" where u can eat a giant bowl of pho in under 30 minutes, you get the whole thing for free! They also give coupons out for your next use if you pay in cash It is the best pho in town with great portions!

Crispy edges with a soft filled center ( bubble) of cheese or Oreo filling. There is an original one too which I haven't had yet. You can also purchase a side sauce to dip it into; Puff Cream , Puff & Oreo cream, or Salted Cheese. I had the Milk Tea with Oreo and Puff Cream with no sweetener. It was good but very rich, I think too rich for my tastes. Also, take it with a grain of salt, because I am a coffee person. Not really into tea, however, the tea was a good. Because of the richness, I would definitely try something different next time. The Bubble Waffle ( cheese-filled) was very good. I would go there just to get that! The service was great and the staff were friendly. I

One of the few boba shops in this part of Oceanside, you can find a variety of boba shop staples as well many flavor options for anything you can look for. Another appreciation for Ding tea is service is always friendly, fast, and the drinks are consistently delicious across all locations I've visited.

Visited this Saturday night and was really extremely disappointed and surprised with the customer…read moreservice. One employee (male, long hair, orange glasses) was dismissive, rude, and uninterested in helping us. (Keep in mind there was one other person in this building, so there's no excuse for this) A simple question was met with attitude. No eye contact, no courtesy, no professionalism. Customer service like this guarantees we won't return.

After a long drive from NorCal and immediately going into a full day at Legoland, it was safe to…read moresay we all needed something comforting and delicious. A quick search on Yelp gave me a few decent options but Pho Oceanside won because they were opened later than the other businesses. Our party of 3 arrived at 7:45pm on a Friday night to a pretty quiet restaurant. There were only 2 other parties dining- one being a table of about 8-9 guests. The staff let us know we could pick our own seats and provided us with menus. The offerings here are very typically of what you would expect to find at a Vietnamese restaurant. Kudos for the vegetarian options for those non-carnivorous eaters. Dinner consisted of: *P14. RARE STEAK, FLANK, TENDON & TRIPE PHO (TÁI, NAM, GÂN, SÁCH) *L6. SEAFOOD (MÌ XÀO HẢI SẢN) Calamari, shrimp & fish ball *VIETNAMESE SANDWICH- GRILLED PORK [Cucumber, pickled carrot & daikon, onions, cilantro] So this is where the visit took a dive. The one male staff member cane by with a plate of veggies for the pho. What was provided had to be the worst portion and quality I had ever received. There was only one... YES, ONE!! sprig of basil and the basil was limp, crusty, and honestly just SAD!!! I was honestly ready to throw in the towel and mentally prepare myself for a poopy meal ahead. Thankfully, my guy spoke up and made a request with the gentleman in charge- he came out with an abundance of fresh thai basil. Food was surprisingly pretty good. My daughter enjoyed her seafood chow mein. The pho was alright but the broth could have been a bit more flavorful. The banh mi was my favorite of the night and i totally didn't see that coming. The sandwich wasn't aesthetically pretty on the eyes but the pork marinade was delicious. The cuts of meat were tender and the bread was soft yet crunch in all the right places. 4 stars overall. My only bit of advice is providing patrons with fresh, crisp herbs if you are going to skimp it down to 1 sprig per person.

My go-to pho spot since the early 2000s…read more The broth is still amazing, and you can tell why this place built such a loyal following over the years. That said, it's also noticeable that times are affecting portion sizes and some of the ingredient quality compared to what this place used to be. Unfortunately, the bigger issue now is the service. On multiple recent visits -- both dine-in and pickup -- the wait staff has mostly been gathered around the bar area on their phones or watching TV instead of checking on tables. During this visit, I eventually had to get up myself just to ask for water. After experiencing this on two separate occasions, I think I'm officially on the hunt for a new pho spot here in Oside after many years of loyalty. It's disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite comfort food locations. But between the unprofessional service, drop in food quality, and an increasingly unfavorable dining experience, I won't be returning.

Totally Not Loser aka TNL continues to live up to their name!…read more You are always greeted with kindness and staffers ready to serve! It's a clean and welcoming corner business that's been around since 2013. We've frequented this place for many years now and continue to do so. By far this has been my favorite place for clean and REAL fruit drinks. No additional sugars etc! Quality at its best! Cute cups, generous and well presented product, and taste's gourmet! *They are a part of the 5 Star program too. So if you frequent you are rewarded by the points you've built up for yourselves. Totally worth it! *They remember you and your name. Probably remember that I'm the Boba sans the Boba "B" even when I change my hairstyle (ha) and look even! "See you tomorrow" is their way of saying goodbye and how much they appreciate your business! Treat yourself to a visit here!

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea…read more Black milk tea: 0/2. I got the Classic Milk Tea, 50% sweet. This drink is not great to me; it tastes a little grassy and powdery, and it has an aftertaste reminiscent of mung bean which I don't feel works well. The sugar level is appropriate though. Other drinks: 1/1. Lots of milk teas, coffees, juices, slushes, and smoothie options. Ambiance: 0/1. The store feels more like a storage room than a shop front; there are boxes, plushies, and such everywhere. No seating. It's located in a random shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Service: 1/1. Order at the counter. There is a rewards system, I think it's through Fivestars. My drink came out VERY fast. Total: 2/5

Today was a HOT one so a cold sweet summer drink was in order!…read more I like the Taro Icy sans boba. Accidentally got the boba straw but they do have regular straws for the other types of drinks. So I got the appropriate straw afterwards. Served with a direct & nice demeanor by Taylor. Place is chill and kept clean. *You have an option to tip if you're interested. On the machine it starts at 15% & you do have a choice to adjust it to a customized tip.

Safe to say I won't be returning. I walked in to find some girl who doesn't even work there lounging at the counter with her feet up right where customers are supposed to pay. Completely unprofessional. The girl who took my order was polite, but the one making the drinks looked like she just rolled out of bed. Hair down, totally not dressed for work... it's honestly shocking how far this place has fallen. Truly disappointing, but again--not surprised. Sidenote, not sure what happened but their store hours are all over the place

Felt the need to expand on my previous review:…read more Crepes are so gooey and delicious here. Our favorites are the lemon and brown sugar crepe and the Nutella, strawberries, and bananas crepe. Also, they have delicious coffee. We always get the flat white, which is the perfect combo with the lemon and sugar crepe. Their peach green tea and boba was great and their froyos are better than yogurtland, imo. Finally, the girls who work there are so lovely. They're friendly, kind, and helpful. So glad this place exists!!

My fiancé is allergic to strawberry and banana and he still ordered that one but the staff accommodated by offering to put it on the side.
