    #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.

    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!

    The best fresh squeezed lemonade I've had around San Diego! Super refreshing, came in with a bold flavor, and great customer service!

    Come and try the vegan eggrolls it's really good and don't forget the lemonade . Big love

    #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.

    Great food. Taste great. Picture is good but food taste better! Friendly service! I got the brisket pho and spring rolls

    #34. Grilled Beef Rice Plate
    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!

    Steven Binh N.

    Honestly this is one of the better pho places I have tasted in San Diego. It was next to the gym I was working out at and the first thing I tasted the broth and it was flavorful, the meat was really good and the noodles didn't seem over cooked. Over a 5! My waiter was super nice and the cashier looked like he was having fun talking to a group of girls that were seated next to me. I would for sure come back!

    Best turkey sandwich. Get the turkey sandwich…read more Okay other stuff... sandwich comes with a side and you should get the cauliflower salad to go with it. It's a big place with multiple indoor/outdoor seating options. Cute. We ate there every morning for breakfast because it's the best option nearby and opens early. It has baked goods, all do the coffee options, a full bar that opens later in the day, and good prepared meals. Didn't like the waffle as much as I thought I would, maybe 4 or 5 on the star scale. The fruit, whipped cream, and syrup for it were solid. My friends tried chai bowls, fresh fruit, banana bread, breakfast burritos, and other pastries if not enjoying the (delicious!!!) turkey sandwich. I did find myself wishing there were fresh juice options. A fresh OJ or green juice would have hit the spot and I couldn't find plain fresh squeezed I the area. All and all, super delighted by this find and scores a 5.

    I will preface this review with the acknowledgment that this is the epitome of first world…read moreproblems. I actually love this place (I could have sworn I had reviewed positively before). I'm just extremely disappointed with how poor my experience was today because I had only super positive experiences previously and was looking forward to dining there this morning after sometime away, but holy hell ....today's experience has been so profoundly bad. Firstly, my husband ordered two breakfast burritos - one with bacon and the other with bacon on the side. I'll chalk this one up to miscommunication, but they put bacon in one, and bacon in the other too - and then added bacon on the side to the other and charged us $5.50 for the extra bacon. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here and will be sure to communicate explicitly next time. They kindly made me a new one, but the new one had potatoes that weren't cooked thoroughly (likely to rush the food to me, so I acknowledge the difficulty here), however there was hardly any avocado. I literally had to complain again because I didn't believe there was any avocado at all. I wouldn't be as pissed if this weren't an EIGHTEEN DOLLAR breakfast burrito. Lastly, the coffee lids don't fit on the cups. We tried to put one on and ended up spilling the entire coffee. I chalked this up to an accident on our part, however another patron who observed our incident said "their lids don't fit the cup, right??" And I was like "oh so it wasn't just us??" And she was like "no, I almost spilled mine all over too." This random patron encouraged us to ask for a new cup of coffee as a result (thanks, random patron!). The Molly's team did kindly make us a new (albeit quite bitter) drink, which I appreciate. However, the lid was still an issue - it would spill out of the cup all over the rim between the cup and the lid when I'd try to take a sip, so I took off the lid entirely, but then was stuck with dealing with spills while walking around - I had to move at a snail's pace to prevent spills altogether. This was easier to deal with random leakage around the entire cup every time I'd sip with the lid on. Ultimately It was just a lose-lose with the ill fitting lid situation. All this to say - Molly's Team, yall were fantastic just a month ago. What happened? I understand food and services in the beach area stuff are often expensive and rarely good, but you guys are *too* expensive for this poor of service and quality. Two stars because at least the folks there are generally nice.

I was the first customer bright and early in the morning, and they gave me everything I asked for with a smile. I will be back, for sure.

    I've been coming to Armonia Kitchen pretty much since they opened, and years later I still come…read moreabout once a week. It's easily one of my favorite breakfast and lunch spots in PB whether I'm grabbing something quickly on my way to work or having a cute morning brunch with the girls. The food is always fresh and delicious, everything is beautifully presented, and the staff is always so sweet and helpful. The space itself is on the smaller side with both indoor and outdoor seating, but that's honestly part of its charm. It's cozy, intimate, and almost feels like you're going over to someone's cute house for breakfast. It's one of my favorite spots for a morning with the girls or even a birthday brunch. My two favorites are definitely the protein pancakes and the chicken tacos with coleslaw instead of beans they honestly fight for the #1 spot depending on the day I also love the pesto eggplant sandwich, mahi tacos, and chilaquiles. And if you love tacos, definitely come on a Tuesday because they're 50% off for Taco Tuesday! As a personal trainer, one of the things I appreciate most is that they list the protein content of different menu items. I recommend Armonia to my clients all the time because it's somewhere you can find nutritious, balanced options that actually taste amazing. They also make it super easy to order online and grab something between clients or on my way to work. I love supporting a small local business that has become such a staple in my routine. After all these years, it's still one of my absolute favorite spots in Pacific Beach

I…read moredidn't get a chance to read others reviews first but did notice that they had a stellar Yelp rating, so here goes: Armonía Kitchen has a cute little cafe like feel to it. You walk up and order at the counter and then take a seat. Space is very limited inside--one or two high tops and a few regular tables. They also offer outdoor seating with a nice patina garden vibe out front adjacent to Garnet. I was a little confused by the menu and asked if it was a vegan restaurant. They explained it is not but that they have plenty of plant based options. I ordered the mushroom carnitas Skinny Burritos and a Chaga Latte. The burritos were good but not what I expected. They are smaller burritos (yet very filling--one was more than enough for me). Very savory. My brain was confused though. Don't get me wrong, they were tasty, but there is something I can't put my finger on that didn't work for me. The ingredients were all very fresh and love the fact there was guacamole included in the burritos. The Chaga Latte was among the best I've had. They make their own Chaga powder here and I could feel the difference. It was a little sweet for my taste but the mushrooms were potent and I felt great after just a few sips. The heart decor was a nice added touch. People all around me to amazing looking pancake, bowls and egg dishes. I will definitely return to try again and see if we can add one more star!
