I was kind of bummed that I was the only person dining for lunch, they honestly deserve a crowd. The food and service was 10/10. The setup is really cute on the inside as well and I was able to sit comfortably at a table with my daughter's stroller right next to me. Upon entering, I was greeted right away. I already knew that I wanted to order the Khao Soi because I had looked up their menu and pictures way before coming in and it looked like their specialty. I ordered an iced jasmine green tea as well and chose a table to sit at. The woman who took my order was really nice and helpful with ordering. My food didn't take long to come out, and it was DELICIOUS. This was my first time trying this dish so I didn't know what to expect but it was everything and more. It was topped with what I think was fried onion and chili crisp as well for some added spice. The tea was also so delicious, the crushed ice they use is my favorite. The tea was garnished with an orange slice and my toddler decided to much on it. The woman who took my order noticed my daughter eating the orange slice and she brought me out a couple more on the side. You really don't experience that level of customer service anymore, so it was such a sweet gesture. They have a lot of other things on their menu that I would love to come back and try. I also used the restroom before leaving and it was super clean. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever and I hope this business continues to thrive!

We came in for a late dinner while in the area. I've had it bookmarked for a while so it was…read moreserendipitous that we happened to be in Vista for a birthday party just around the corner. The restaurant is small, cozy, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. It isn't well suited for larger parties as most tables are tables for 2 unless tables are pushed together. They do have patio seating and heaters outside, but it didn't appeal to me being so close to the street/loud traffic. Gabriel checked us in, seated us, took our order, served our food and waited on us for majority of our visit, I would give him 10 stars just on his impeccable service. The food though? The food was AMAZING!! Everything we ordered was the best we have ever had anywhere. The buns were very kawaii (and we ordered ever single one to try). The fillings were savory, but we also loved their seasonal panda bun with ube filling while the kids preferred the nutella bunny. Best chicken karaage we've had by far, the coating almost tasted like it was rolled in kinako powder. The ramen broth was "chef's kiss" with so much flavors, the crab rangoon were jumbo and the filling was delicious, but the chicken katsu was also the best we have had anywhere (including Hawaii). The breading was just top tier crunchy while the chicken was thick and juicy. There isn't one bad thing I could say about this place, from the service to the food, I would make the drive out here again. Super duper, highly recommend, don't sleep on this little place, you'll regret it!

On Friday, July 17, 2026, at around 6:30 PM, my family and I decided to try Chef Tang for dinner…read more When we arrived, we were greeted by an asian employee wearing glasses. I'm not sure if he was the owner, manager, or a staff member. We are also Asian family. The restaurant are not busy with only one table with two customers eating at the moment we arrived and got seated on the table. The first thing that seemed odd was when he asked if we wanted to be seated at two separate tables or at a round booth. There were five of us--my wife, our three kids (ages 11, 8, and 5), and me--so I wasn't sure why sitting at two separate tables was even suggested. The bigger issue happened when we were ready to order. We scanned the QR code to view the menu, and the same employee told us that only one person should place an order through the app. However, when my wife scanned the QR code just to view the menu, the app already showed three guests and several items in the order before we had selected anything. My wife politely asked for help, but instead of trying to understand the issue, the employee immediately responded in a rude tone, saying, "That's why I told you only one person should place the order." The problem was that we hadn't placed any orders at all--we had only scanned the QR code to look at the menu. When he came to our table, I explained that I hadn't selected anything. He checked my phone, saw that there was already an order in the system, and I told him those weren't our items. Rather than apologizing or acknowledging that it might have been an issue with their ordering system, he became defensive and continued speaking to us as if we had caused the problem. He eventually said he could fix it, but by then his attitude had already made us feel like we were being blamed for something that wasn't our fault. We weren't complaining--we were simply asking for help with what appeared to be an issue with their app. Unfortunately, the employee's attitude made us feel unwelcome, so we decided to leave without ordering and eat somewhere else. Customer service is just as important as the food. If there's an issue with the restaurant's ordering system, staff should be patient, respectful, and willing to help instead of immediately blaming customers. A simple apology and a willingness to assist would have gone a long way. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.

When it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, there are plethora to choose from in Vista, California…read more I recently discovered Tasty Phô, which is a small, locally-owned, family-owned shop outside of downtown. They are located just off of Santa Fe Ave. in a small shopping strip. The interior is very simple, with very little decor. It is also very small and only allows for about 25 customers seating. Although there is booth seating for groups of four, this place is best for solo or date-dining. The service here is fast, friendly and very welcoming. This is because it is owned by a husband, wife and son; so there is a very personal touch when it comes to customer service. I've come here twice and so far I really love the no. 46 pork vermicelli noodles, their egg rolls, spring rolls, and their combination phô soup. It is important to note that there is pork in their eggrolls and I love how crispy they are. All of the meats in my meals were delicious! Their menu is priced very affordably with the majority of the items costing under $15. They appear to be very popular for delivery service services, such as DoorDash and Uber eats. There were also many people who did pick-up. Although I could wish for more ambience inside with some music, I can appreciate that there's ample parking in their shared lot and they have a clean bathroom. If you happen to be in Vista and want to support a small, family-owned business that serves delicious Vietnamese cuisine, I highly recommend Tasty Phô.

My hubby and I ordered the well done pho and half order of egg rolls. Broth was piping hot but bland, meat seemed too chewy, and the only ingredient that gave it life were the green onions. Egg rolls were good. Restroom was somewhat clean and because it's next to the kitchen I can see the other staff just sitting and texting. Makes me wonder if the broth was even fresh. I don't understand the reviews and maybe they've never tried authentic, tasty and fresh Pho? Or the reviews are just about their drinks?

The spicy pork wontons were not at all spicy and it tasted like there was peanut sauce in it. The meat inside was also a bit odd and it had a funny taste to it.

It was dry and mushy at the same time. Every time I come across a set of plastic chopsticks I wipe them with the napkin to rid of any excess dirt and to my surprise, the napkin had black residue left on it after I did. I don't think it was dirt, I think it was the chopstick rubbing off. Don't think I'll ever return.
