    12B. Vegan Pho with Veggies Broth
    Stephanie L.

    I like most pho places, I love that PB Pho & Grill clearly labels their vegan option! The Vegan Pho, #12B, is made in veggie broth with rice noodles, tofu, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. The employees are nice, and the restaurant is always kept tidy. Most of the time I order to go and the food is always ready when I go to pick it up. Even when I get it delivered, it's still pretty hot!

    #5. Grilled Pork Rolls- 2 Rolls
    Karina J.

    We ordered 2 phos, 4 spring rolls, and noodles on Doordash. It took them over an hour to make. We were told 5 more minutes and continued to wait another hour. We sat on uncomfortable backless stools while waiting. We watched other tables receive their food quickly. They also didn't let us cancel the order. The pork rolls weren't very flavorful. Very little pork inside. The peanut sauce tastes mostly like soy sauce. I wouldn't order again.

    #27. Egg Rolls and Grilled Beef Rice Vermicelli
    Merrick C.

    I was craving Pho, but when I saw the menu I pivoted to special #27: vermicelli noodles, beef, veggies, and egg rolls. The beef was delicious and tender and the vegetables were extremely fresh. My friend had a tofu banh mi, which he also enjoyed. Service was a little slow, but we enjoyed not being rushed to finish our meal. The location is walkable to the beach and the tables were clean and comfortable.

    #29. Grilled Pork with Vermicelli
    Czarina D.

    Good food with generous portions! But service could be better My family of 8 came right at opening on a Sunday morning. For a while, we were the only party in the restaurant. My family and I ordered a variety of things (pho, spring rolls, eggs rolls) and I ordered number 29 grilled pork with vermicelli. Our service was a bit slow considering we were the only ones there for a while. The server was nice, but didn't check up on us much. Additionally, he accidentally spilled some pho broth when he was serving us (which totally happens!) but he ended up leaving the puddle there and we were scared someone would slip on it. The food was pretty tasty and was quite a large portion. The pho broth was delicious and there was a lot of meat for one portion. I really enjoyed my grilled pork with vermicelli. There were a lot of vegetables and I really enjoyed the sauce on the side. Overall, food was tasty but service was a bit lacking.

    Christian G.

    Fantastic customer service and awesome food! I've been visiting here regularly for the last couple years after finding it on a whim while working in Pacific Beach. The vibes are cool, the prices are right, and I've never had a disappointing meal after exploring numerous option from their menu!

    #9A. Grilled Shrimp Sandwich
    Max G.

    I love grabbing lunch here! Quick service, good food, never too crowded, and the staff is always so friendly! I come here whenever I can and I get the grilled shrimp or beef sandwich and its always sooo good. Its not a traditional banh mi (i love a dac biet though) but its so delicious I can never pass it up. AND ITS A GOOD PRICE!!!!

    The best fried rice in Pacific Beach ask them for the in-house made chili garlic paste mix that in your rice. It's the best they're amazing.

They used to be at different farmers markets or events, but now, I only know about being able to get them at their brick and mortar location in Hillcrest. It's a small plaza with tight parking, but if you get lucky, people are in and out quickly. I ordered some spring rolls and they were good, but not overly flavorful. With simple ingredients, spring rolls are never overpowering, but I love when the herbs and protein create a nice flavor profile. They were still good, but I think my expectations were a little high given how much everyone hypes them up. The place smelled really good though and I'd love to go back to give their pho a try.

    what a hidden gem!…read more the fish sauce wings were tasty (like sweet soy garlic) & rly crispy. one order came w 6, & they weren't too huge (the flavor was all throughout) or too tiny green mango salad is tart, crunchy & refreshing. it's dressed similarly to thai green papaya salad & came w cucumber, some carrot, thai basil, coriander, an unexpected kick from thai chili, & was topped w thinly sliced cuttlefish (like squid), crispy onions & sesame. i've never had june plum before but it was also tart w even more of a crunch. i liked it but it was a bit too fibrous, so i might order without next time. (also viet coriander is a bit of an acquired taste, it must be like how some ppl don't like cilantro) the hanoi pork came w some slices & 2 meatballs of bbq pork (w whole peppercorns) in a small bowl of fish sauce broth, topped w the classic pickled carrots & daikon w a few slices of green papaya. it also came w a separate plate of rice noodles, lettuce, mint, & shiso (the big purple leaves - they taste peppery, almost cinnamon-y), so you can mix & match what you like in your own bowl. idk that the pork stood out from other bbq pork, but everything was tasty. the mint rly helped to balance the savoriness of the pork the nice surprise too was they gave us free lil desserts! sticky rice & black eyed peas w coconut cream, much like thai sticky rice. they were in those lil sauce containers for takeout, w lil gelato spoons, but it was just enough to hit the spot the place is located inside the vinh hung supermarket (which itself is in an old movie theater building, so the layout is bizarre), & it kind of looks like storage space, even w perennial christmas decorations lol. but don't sleep, bc at the end of the day, service was friendly & super fast, while the food still tasted fresh. tables & utensils were clean. to-go boxes & bags were outside for self-service. & prices were rly reasonable. i can def see this becoming another go-to spot!

The chef knows what they're doing because the textures of this salad were very well conceived as well--top layer of crispy fried shallots, chewy layer of thinly sliced cuttlefish, and expertly julienned mango plus plum in a delightful fish sauce/chili dressing. Fiancee got the fried soft shell crab, which was delicately prepared and served with a sweet and savory oyster sauce-esque topping. Neither of us had ever seen Vietnamese rice infused with fish roe before, but this dish was served with it and fiancee thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything was exceptional: the service, the food, and the ambiance. Our server, Tanya, was amazing--patient, attentive, and happy to answer all of our questions. The only downside was that we wanted to try their smoked dry-aged duck, but it had already sold out. Tanya mentioned that it typically sells out every night by 6:30 PM, and we didn't arrive until 7:30 PM. That's just another reason for us to come back the next time we're in San Diego. Everything we ordered was outstanding--elevated Vietnamese cuisine at its finest. We also tried the banana bread dessert with toasted banana ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would have bought the entire banana loaf if they had been willing to sell it to me! Definitely give this place a try.

The restaurant is very trendy and a perfect spot for a date or intimate dinner with a small party. For appetizer we ordered house-made baguette and French butter, duck liver pate, and kanpachi crudo. The baguette with the French butter was so fresh and tasty. It was hard to stop eating it. The pate was also delicious and the kanpachi crudo was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We also ordered the crispy chicken wings, house made egg noodles and smoked dry aged duck for entrees to share. The winds were very flavorful and the sauces that came with it were a great pairing. The noodles the smoked duck was a great size for sharing and came with lots of veggies and sides. The duck was perfectly cooked and delicious. The noodles were yummy but were outshined by the rest of the dishes. We ordered the pickled papaya and marinated cucumbers for sides. In hindsight we definitely had too much food and probably didn't need the sides but both were great compliments to the other dishes. For cocktails I ordered the nuoc mami but ended up preferring the water buffalo. Both were good but I did really enjoy the clarified pho reduction in the water buffalo. Service was friendly and attentive. They packaged up our menu nicely as we were celebrating birthdays. Overall I had a great first time at Kingfisher and would definitely recommend a try.
