We've only ordered delivery, but the food has always been very good. The portion sizes are great for the price. We love the combo plate with vermicelli and our youngest loves the chicken pho. This is definitely our go to for Vietnamese food. read more

The wife and I dropped by here today for some Pho while we waited for our daughter to get her nails done. What a pleasant surprise! The pho was delicious the service was great and this small shop in Lakeside turned out to be a hidden gem. My wife and I typically travel 45+ minutes to our favorite pho place in Escondido but this place gives us an option that's much closer to home. We will definitely be back! read more

Heard this place just opened up so I had to check it out. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I had a smoothie with boba, salt and pepper wings, and rare steak pho. The smoothie was great. No ice chunks were left when blended. The boba was surprisingly good. Not too chewy or hard. The salt and pepper wings came out pretty fast. Has a good crunch to it and not too hard. Pretty tasty as well. It comes with a sauce on the side. Not sure what it was but you got to try it, it's good! The pho was great. I enjoyed the broth. Don't need to add anything to it. The steak and the bean sprouts were fresh. I like the size of the lime they give. Normally I get a small slice at other places. Will definitely be back soon! read more

The food was great and the service was good. We had 2 bowls of pho and spring rolls. The peanut sauce with the rolls was a little thick but tasted good. The only downside is the location and parking. I would definitely have the food again, but delivered. read more

Food is amazing. Would always go to Santee Pho Ca Do but we only come here now. Everything we have had is wonderful

The pho is always perfectly seasoned. The sides are tasty and I especially love the peanut sauce. Amazing service

Food is good... consistent... BBQ combo is my favorite , wife usually gets pho with extra shrimp.

We are obsessed with this place. They're chicken wings are insane! So yummy! My husband gets the #8 pho and I get the #52 bbq meat plate. So delicious! And their egg rolls are soooo good. read more

Excellent food. Really enjoyed my egg rolls and my chicken pho last time I went. Good portions. Will definitely be returning.

My friend and I came here based on the 5-star rating, but I'm giving it four stars because the Pho was good but not great, I have had better broth and meat. I had the #17 Spicy Beef Noodle and I enjoyed it, but the broth was a bit more bland than I expected, and about 1/3rd of the meat was just pure fat, but the rest of the meat was good and the serving size was good. We also had the Spring Rolls which were absolutely delicious, probably some of the best I've had and the peanut sauce was very good. The restaurant dining area was clean but their bathrooms were pretty gross, they just need to do a deep cleaning and they would be fine, but it looks like they hadn't deep cleaned it in several months or more. I almost brought the review down a star because of the bathroom but the food was good enough to keep it at 4 stars. read more

Best Salt and pepper wings around along with the pho and egg rolls . Employees are always so welcoming

I love this place I always come here to get pho and the workers are amazing and very helpful.

Great service great food Great atmosphere business parking right in front You can also order on the phone for quicker service read more

Pho is very good. Have had delivery a few times never disappointed. The chicken fried rice is very good too.

You would never expect to get a hot and delicious bowl of pho in Lakeside, but this is the spot! Not only do they have incredible pho, but their chicken wings are top notch. Super crispy and that secret sauce is unique and pairs nicely with this dish. The pho broth is one of the best I've ever had, super flavorful and you can tell they cook the broth for hours! Don't be fooled, the bowls are packed with plenty of noodles and meat cuts. The service here is also phenomenal! They are attentive as soon as I walk in and the young man is quick to bring out my drinks, food, and bill. Supporting a small family business like this one is easy when you also get incredible food and service. read more

Food was average .. but the food wait ... over 40 mins for pho and a sandwhich .. and i watched multiple people who came in 20- 30 mins after me get there pho and food before me .. I'm not sure why my food took so long .. I will say the lady is very nice and was checking on people . They gentle men thou ... idk he looked confused and got a part of my order wrong , didn't even check on us just stared from the back room . Personally after that kind of wait I would never return I'm better off going to pho van in santee ...which they have amazing food and great customer service and they don't make ppl wait 40 mins for some pho .. read more

The fillet mignon pho is very fatty which is odd, and they are very stingy when you ask for chilli oil or extra hoisin sauce. If I'm spending $50+ on pho please give me my extra sauces read more

Best pho in Lakeside and Santee. We will definitely be coming back. We've tried a bunch of other places and the others don't compare

Best Pho in east county! Fast and friendly service, always welcoming. You can sit inside or outside, plenty of space to chose from. Highly recommend! read more

Super good food! I will be back! Had the bun dish with bbq pork and egg rolls. Didn't care for sauce, too garlicky and a trace of bitter. Next I'll try the pho! read more

The pho is good. I typically get raw meat and I think it can sometimes be very soft at other places, but it is good here. But the real reason I keep coming back is their crispy chicken wings! I always make sure to order a double batch so I have some left over for later! read more

Excellent food . Went to dinner there the other night . Trued the chicken Pho and it was great very flavorful and a nice big bowl. We had a variety of dishes between the 3 of us I had the crispy noodles with chicken very good lots of veggies and we had the rice plate with chicken all were delicious. Excellent service the staff was very quick and attentive to our table. Small quaint place. We will go back again. read more

Amazing Vietnamese food and great pricing! Can't believe this is local to Lakeside! I've had the bahn mi, pork vermicelli, egg rolls and fried shrimp there so far, it has all been really good! read more

The restaurant was clean, the staff was attentive and friendly and the food was high quality and delicious.

We've been here several times and enjoy most of our items. I would say a five out of 10 to go orders have been wrong though. Definitely check all your families meals before you leave the facility because it's very frustrating to get home and have the wrong meal. Also, when I ordered a Thai iced tea, I said this doesn't come with Boba does it and he said no and I said good because I hate Boba. I don't want any of that. Guess what was in my Thai iced tea. Lol.Yuk read more

Good food, and very nice ownership! Friendly, and attentive. My bf wanted to go to lunch a few weekends ago, and I told him about this place, and the rave reviews. He's a pretty picky person; he entrusted in my recommendation for our lunch place, and he was very pleased. Good portions, and our young daughter got the orange chicken, and it was not spicy. Unlike, Panda Express tends to be for a very common kid choice of food. I'm happy this place is in Lakeside, and look forward to dining here again in the future. read more

This is our new favorite Pho place ! A hole in the wall spot that's a find for sure !!!! From the service, to the food, Thai Tea, and spring rolls. This will be the only place we will go from now on ! read more

My heart is so happy! So, my family and I have been going to pho cao dao in Santee for about 8 years and Cuc was always there to greet us and make us feel at home. We were so sad when she left and the tea and service wasn't the same. Today I noticed a new restaurant in my neighborhood and I'm so happy to have found it and Cuc!!! She's like family. The food was delicious and so was the service. We ordered chicken pho and beef spring rolls with thai tea with boba. They have so much flavor and great portions. The place is small but clean and inviting. We are definitely coming back and have found a new go to. They've only been open two weeks so they need the support. I hope our community enjoys and keeps them in business. Thank you. read more
