First certainly not trying to be mean at all but this place is not gourmet or authentic at all. I…read moremean they serve chow mein (what?!) & Japanese gyozas-not even fried spring rolls let alone real Vietnamese spring rolls. I get it-it is in MX & not even the US particularly the West Coast w/amazing Vietnamese restaurants in Cali/Oregon/Washington-so I walked in w/augmented lowered expectations. And I have been to Vietnam twice where you always get the real deal there naturally. I decided to try it because I am mostly new to Ensenada & when you google for this cuisine it appears that there may be one other Viet place in Centro-that's it. Total waste of my time & money-incredibly overpriced-the month before I ate at a truly family run Viet place on Palm Ave. off of I-5 just N. of San Ysidro also by a Walmart in an outdoor mall & my entree & sides (it was WAY more food than than here) were $13 US & here I paid the equivalent of $13 US total for just my entree AND white rice because, get this, they charge extra for rice-$2 US for a small plate of it! No way should one pay San Diego prices for similar cuisine here in Ensenada. Moving on... I ordered the typical Vietnamese "iced" tea. It was mostly cold but...NO ICE. I had to ask for a glass of ice. We were a party of 3. When I arrived the other 2 in my party had ONLY ONE menu to share between my Mexican amigo & fellow gringo friend. The owners (seemingly a husband & wife) never brought another one-and there was only ONE other patron there at the time we were! As we were leaving a table of 5 locals came in & lo and behold, they all got their own menu so it proves they have at least 5 menus. Unbelievable. Speaking of the menu-the photos are so tiny & poorly shot they are useless. Nothing is in English which I can understand somewhat but then dang, get better pics. I basically chose my entree of spicy fried chicken strips because at least I could figure out what it was. Oh, and the gyozas. WAY over cooked/fried-too crispy-they were not subtle and a bit chewy as they should be. Service. Terrible. Again, there was one other patron there. It took almost 5 mins. to get the bill and over 10 mins. to get the change from the pesos provided. Finally, this is in a pretty nice mall (yes, despite conflicting info on google, it is in the big Macroplaza near the Costco) w/nice looking businesses like the Telcel retail store almost right next door. However, the interior of this place is a dump-dark & dank. Overall it seems a bit dirty & run down so I decided not to even chance venturing into the bathroom. Perhaps the owners are not Vietnamese. Either way, it is borderline criminal to call this place either "Vietnamese" or "Gourmet". Total fraud. Look, I am doing these owners a favor in my humble opinion. They really, really need to step up their game particularly since I have to believe they are paying high rent to be in this location. I will never go back-I dabble in Thai, Indonesian & Vietnamese cuisine at home-I can do much better on my own. My advice is to never eat here & avoid the mistake I made. Understand I think Viet cuisine is the best on the planet-even better than Thai, Indian, Italian & Japanese for example. And I find Viets to be among the nicest/sweetest people on the 6 continents I have travelled to.

Highly recommend!

Taro Buns were beautifully made again, goes well with some sweet coffee. Deserving of the 5 stars due to how polite the guy running the place was. You can tell effort is being made, and it does pay off.

PHO DUYEN MAI @ KEARNY MESA…read more Parking is very easy here since there are a lot of spots available. It's located in a shared complex, but I've never had any issues finding parking, even after coming here multiple times. I always end up ordering their chicken wings or one of their Vietnamese dishes. This time, I got the bánh xèo, which is a savory Vietnamese pancake filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. It was super delicious. My mom and I also shared the bún riêu, a flavorful tomato-based noodle soup with meat, and that was really good too. My dad and brother got noodles with pork and egg rolls, which were also super yummy. I also ordered a bạc xỉu, which is a Vietnamese three-layer coffee drink, and it was so good. This is one of my favorite places to go in Kearny Mesa because I really love the vibe of the restaurant itself. I definitely want to try their phở sometime, but their other dishes are always such a craving for me that I keep ordering them instead. The service was also great overall. We were seated pretty quickly, the food came out fast, and the restaurant was clean with a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back again.
