    How exciting to see a new Vietnamese business open up in this area! I often visit San Diego and am always looking for some yummy Vietnamese coffee and drinks. The interior was very cute and aesthetic. There are some tables and chairs around to chill or study. We ordered the pandan matcha, Ube matcha, and mango matcha. It a while for the drinks to come out and when it did, the worker just plopped the drinks onto the counter next to us. We were very confused and asked if it was ours. They said yes, but we saw that one of the drinks was pink and asked what it was. They said it was the strawberry one and we told them we didn't order that. They tried to argue with us and said yes, it is. I had to show them my receipt for them to do a double take. Another worker came by and helped them out but, what an odd experience. During this day, we saw on Instagram that they were giving out free chè. The person that took our order and plopped down our drink didn't give us any. I saw a new cashier give it to people after us and asked for some. Not sure what happened with that one worker but wasn't the best experience for us. I was really hoping the drinks would make up for the service but it was just okay to me. The flavoring for both the pandan and Ube didn't really taste like pandan or Ube. The Ube tasted like chocolate to me and I didn't really taste pandan. The coffee was great though. If I were to return, I'd probably just get a straight up coffee.

    Bbq pork bahn mi. Painfully crunchy, too vinegary, just eh :'(
    Gretta Z.

    My review is based solely off of the bbq pork bahn bi sandwich I had today. The service was good, friendly staff, place was small but cute. But this sandwich...I was sadly disappointed. I love me a good bahn mi. This was probably my least favorite I have ever had. Where to begin? The bread was so crunchy that it hurt the roof of my mouth, it was painful to eat. The carrots had this extreme vinegar flavor, overpowering everything. The bbq pork had no flavor, very hard to chew as if it was old, and also had so many inedible fat pieces that I had to spit out. And there was basically a half of a cucumber placed inside. The portion was large but the flavors and quality was a miss for me. Sorry guys, I really wanted to like this place. Not sure if I will come back, I might just to try out the drinks.

    Bbq pork banh mi
    Siria F.

    I saw all the great reviews and had to stop by to try their banh mi. It did not disappoint. The banh mi is served WELL, it's a footlong and they are delicious! The service was great. The staff was attentive and welcomed me as soon as I walked in. I went on a rainy day and it was relaxing to sit at the table by the window and enjoy the banh mi while watching the rain. Overall, great place I will definitely be coming back for more!

    An absolutely must stop for Banh Mi! Oh my goodness this place was amazing! Service is fast and friendly. While the shop may be small it packs a HUGE punch. The sandwiches are BIG and very filling. The portions and proportions of the sandwiches to the price is comparable and reasonable. We ordered the beef and crispy pork belly. The beef narrowly inched ahead of the pork belly as our favorite only because the pork belly was not as crispy as we hoped, but don't let this deter you because it was equally as delicious as everything we ordered!' The tea and Vietnamese coffees we ordered were also fantastic. If you want a good Vietnamese coffee in north county, this is so far our favorite!

    Pandan Matcha, Sugar Cane Passion Fruit
    Stacey E.

    My first time trying in the area, my boyfriend and i loved it! So much so he went back for another matcha! The staff was so friendly and gave us their favorites on the menu. Super clean dining area as they also have Bahn Mi sandwiches and a few other things. We did try the pork belly bahn mi, didn't get any photos:(, but it was delicious! Super fresh, great rations of everything, and the bread was amazing. The Pandan Matcha was great! The Pandan foam tasted just like the Buko Pandan my boyfriends Lola makes! The sugar cane passion fruit juice was so fresh and flavorful, not too strong nor too sweet. Banana Matcha seems to be all the craze right now, this one is now definitely in my top three! Plenty of variety of drinks! So much so i can confidently say there's something for everyone.

    Strawberry matcha
    Michelle V.

    Got the strawberry matcha and the pork belly banh mi and they were definitely on the pricier side. The strawberry matcha was good but automatically came with the foam, which I didn't like. It was too sweet and tasted like an artificial strawberry milk shake. Other than that, the matcha quality and purée were good and I will skip the foam next time. The pork belly banh mi was okay. I lowk did not even taste the pate and the cucumber was so bitter. Definitely want to give this place another try tho !

    CRISPY-SKIN PORK BELLY bahn mi with cilantro, quick-pickled daikon and carrots, pate, mayonnaise, and jalapeños
    Scott T.

    OH MY PATE CAFE has been on my radar for a while. they had me at crispy-skinned pork belly. was in the neighborhood a few doors down at Mission Grappling where my nineteen-year-old son's been training for nearly a year. yeah, I know. I owe them a Yelp review too. very Americanized version of the classic Vietnamese sandwich: imagine an overstuffed Bahn Mi with less fish sauce and lime in the flavor profile and lots of mayonnaise. the pork belly was warming on a stream table and more gummy than crispy but I'm a sucker for Thịt Heo Quay even in its most insipid forms. gotta agree with JiaJia T -- service is painfully slow. still, a pretty darn good sandwich. stopped at 88 Ranch Market on my way home for skin-on pork belly so I can cook up a batch of my own.

    coffee is always on the spot. I always make sure to stop by when we go to San Marcos. Service was quick. It wasnt really busy when I came in which makes me happy. I enjoy the vibe, clean space, very well kept. I wish you guys to blow up and be prosperous. Thank you for sharing your coffee to us.

    Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi
    Eileen D.

    I've been seeing people post about Oh My Pate and was finally able to stop by while in the area. All I can say is wow!! Not saying the food is bad in San Marcos, but their matcha and banh mi were so impressive and delicious! We tried the crispy pork belly banh mi, bbq pork banh mi, blueberry matcha, and banana matcha. The banh mi bread was nice and crispy while still soft and fluffy. They don't skimp on the meat and the mayo is delicious. The matchas were our absolute favorite and you could actually taste the matcha flavor. Banana matcha had delicious banana cream on top and blueberry matcha had a good blueberry cream and fresh blueberry puree. There's a good amount of seating inside, ample parking, and the staff were friendly. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

    A great place to grab some good tasting drinks and sandwiches! The crispy pork belly banh mi was delicious, and though the price seems higher, it's for a really big sandwich that you can easily split with someone. The matcha was great too! I got the ube matcha small size, and love it. The inside was cute and the staff was very friendly. It was good to come in the morning before any rushes for the day/evening came in. Made my trip to SD great with good food and drinks for a day outing!

    banana matcha 10/10
    Arleen A.

    Oh my! The banana cream matcha was so good! I should have ordered an XXL if possible. The sweetest was perfection and I love the real banana flavors. I also ordered the crispy pork belly bahn mi and it was good! I'd come back again fasho!

    Blueberry Matcha
    Jazmine P.

    We had been seeing a lot of people post this place on social media. We decided to finally give it a try and wow! They have great matcha and so many yummy options! The location is clean and I am thankful the menu isn't overwhelming. Service is quick even if they're busy which I appreciate!

    Crispy pork banh mi for the win
    Chris P.

    They need to change the name from oh my to adu ma pate Cafe. This food was adu-mazing! I'm a really big banh mi snob and I've eaten it all over the world, including Viet Nam. However, this place is worth the hype. The drinks were bomb too. I ordered the crispy pork and it did not disappoint. Packed with protein and flavors. I also got a pork BBQ added egg to go cause I was feeling it. And those flavors were so on point. The bread was fluffy and crispy as well. If you looked up the definition of a good banh mi in the dictionary, it would picture this. Service was nice but it's the standard order at the window though, there was plenty of places to sit and enjoy your banh mis. However, I could imagine this place being backed with the near by college students. Anyhow, it's just a great place to bring a date and just chill or do school work.

The food was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. We loved the Vietnamese dishes since that's our ethnicity. But it's great that they also offer some Chinese and Thai options on the menu. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating they were to my mom, who is diabetic. They kindly substituted extra vegetables in place of noodles for her without any issues. We really appreciated their willingness to help and make sure she could enjoy her meal. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and excellent food. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town and can't wait to try more dishes from the menu!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this restaurant takes pride not only in the food but also in the atmosphere. The space is bright, clean, and well-organized, with a calm energy that makes dining here both relaxing and enjoyable. The menu offers an incredible variety--pho, rice dishes, noodles, sandwiches, boba drinks, and more--so it's easy to find something that suits your taste. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors that stand out. A must-try appetizer is the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. They arrive fresh and neatly wrapped, with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked shrimp, and that creamy, nutty peanut sauce that ties everything together. Light yet satisfying, they're a great way to start your meal. Another standout is the pork sandwich (Bánh Mì), which feels like a labor of love. The baguette is toasted just right--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--filled with tender, flavorful pork that's marinated to perfection. Add in the pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapeños, and sprigs of cilantro, and you get an amazing balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Each bite is a perfect mix of texture and taste, making it one of the best Bánh Mì sandwiches you'll find in North County. Don't miss the fried rice, a fragrant and well-seasoned dish that's both comforting and rich. The only minor drawback is that the protein--such as chicken, shrimp, or beef--comes separately. Still, the quality makes it worthwhile. For drinks, the boba teas are superb--smooth, not overly sweet, and made with fresh tapioca pearls that have just the right chew. While parking can sometimes be tricky, Chef's Pho & Grill more than makes up for it with its excellent food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're craving a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or a refreshing drink, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

I rarely comment good things about the bathrooms anywhere, but their bathroom was very clean.

I was also impressed with the generous meat portion in their pho. Their water was nice and cold. Didn't taste like tap. Only little thing is that their napkins are difficult to grab at the table when too fully stocked. Would I come back here? Yeah! I'm going to bring more people here too!
