    Combination pho
    Brett L.

    Came in for a bowl of pho, and a small dish for my toddler. The food is fairly priced and tasty but be prepared for very slow service and a server who is more preoccupied with being on her phone than helping you. Also, because there are few patrons they have no AC on which leads to an uncomfortable meal, with flies buzzing around. On a lighter not, you get to occasionally enjoy hearing one of them hitting the bug zapper.

    Stopped by Pho 4 Queen for lunch and really enjoyed everything we ordered. We had the rare steak pho, rare steak & tendon pho, and a bowl of rice porridge -- all comforting, well-prepared, and satisfying. The pho broth was clean, aromatic, and full of flavor without being overly greasy. The rare steak was tender, and the tendon was soft and gelatinous, soaking up the broth perfectly. You can tell the broth is well-crafted, which makes a big difference. The rice porridge was warm, smooth, and comforting -- a nice change of pace and great if you're in the mood for something lighter but still flavorful. Service was quick, portions were generous, and everything came out hot. Solid spot for classic Vietnamese comfort food. I'd definitely come back.

    I ordered take out. I have been craving chao ga (chicken rice porridge) but I am too lazy to make it even though it's pretty easy. I was looking online and saw this place has it. So I called for pick up. IT IS DELICIOUS. I cannot believe I didn't know about this place. I want to come back to try their other dishes. I love a Vietnamese restaurant that serves other dishes and not just pho or banh mi. Because we eat other things. Lol

    Spring rolls

    My husband and I got in 30 minutes before close but they were willing to seat us which I am very grateful about. The prices were unbeatable with our entire meal (large pho, spring rolls and pork chop rice plate) costing only $33 before tip! The broth was flavorful and the noodles filled me up. I will say that I had a piece of overly chewy tendon but overall I had no complaints as there was a generous portion of meat. The place was very casual - much like hole in the wall feel but if you're looking for a delicious and affordable pho or rice plate, you're definitely in the right place!

    Very solid pho spot in San Marcos! Super great pricing and EXTREMELY generous portions of meat in the pho!! The noodles are thicker than you normally come across, service was straightforward and the atmosphere friendly. I will definitely come back next time I am looking for a hearty meal. A very pleasant surprise in an unassuming parking lot!!

    Pho 4 Queen is a great spot for Vietnamese food in San Marcos. I enjoyed the Rare Steak Pho; it was a comforting and flavorful meal.

    Banh Xeo

    I've only had the banh xeo and it was delicious. Crispy on the edges with lots of fresh greens. Will definitely go back.

    I liked their catering food. They were really nice too. But, the cost was too high, 70 something per person.

    This was the best bowl of pho I've ever had. As someone who in a new city everyday I've had a lot of pho bowls across California. The broth was so rich and full of flavor. Gunna make the drive again. Quick service, open floor seating. Everything you want in a pho spot.

    The food was delicious! The lady was super sweet too. I ordered #13 with extra chili oil. Yum!

    To say I love Pho is to under state it. But it's definitely difficult to find a really good place with yummy broth. After trying several places, it was time to try this place. And now I'm done looking as this is that place I will be coming from now on to get my pho fix. I ordered over the phone. When I got there, the food was being packed. So I paid and waited for few minutes. It was perfectly packed with hots and colds. I ordered #4 cooked beef pho and my husband had the pho without meat with chicken broth. Everything was so aromatic that we couldn't wait to get home. But once we put it all together at home,it was perfection! I rarely can finish a meal and I gobbled it down. Yep, it was that good! Both my husband and I loved it and will definitely be ordering from here or coming to eat here from now on.

    Ban Xeo. Crispy and delicious. The home Made fish sauce was also really nice.

It's a good size dining room with many tables and a few booths. The service was very friendly. It looked like a small family owned business. We arrived early during lunch on a Sunday and was one of the only groups there. But it did fill up pretty quickly after that! We started off with appetizers and probably ordered a little too much. The seasoned cucumbers looked interesting so we got an order of those. It ended up being big chunks of cucumbers in a soy sauce marinade. It was just alright and not super tasty or anything. I have to admit, I have made more flavorful cucumbers at home. Perhaps it was the type of cucumber which was not my favorite. They used regular American cucumbers instead of English or Persian cucumbers, which I prefer. We also ordered the fish sauce fried chicken wings. They were decent but nothing to write home about. We also had a couple orders of eggrolls. Of the three appetizers, this one was the tastiest. The one thing I wish they provided with the egg rolls is lettuce and herbs to wrap the egg rolls with. Instead, there was a little side of pickled cabbage and carrots. For our main entrées, we ordered bun bo hue. It was pretty good and I finished most of it. It came with your basic items and not a lot of meat. There was no pork hock or anything like that. Tendon was probably the most different type of meat in there. We also had the combination fried rice, vermicelli noodles and grilled pork, and broken rice with grilled pork with a fried egg. Sure, I'd return if I was in the area again and craving Vietnamese food.

"I hate to do it, just as bad as you hate to see it done, now calm your boys" As a a non-seafoodie, I entered with trepidation...as soon as I stepped in, the stench of seafood hit me in the face, oh no...I had a strong inkling of what was to come. Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.

I understand these guys are a chain which makes the amazing eats that much more surprising. dumplings: have had the FRIED PORK BUNS, the SHRIMP and PORK SHUMAI, and the PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS. all were amazing. the SHUMAI were the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot) and ordered them on two of our three visits. dipped everything in Sichuan red chili oil, light soy, and black vinegar mixed at the table from the condiment set-up. the twenty-year boy (man, they grow up fast, don't they?) had the HALF BBQ DUCK was another outstanding dish. moist and flavorful, not the almost duck jerky served at most places. the Sichuan-style HOT BOILED FISH is one of my favorites and I nearly always get it when it shows up on a menu. theirs is a bright, spicy, and well executed. my favorite dish was the EGGPLANT in Sichuan sauce with ground pork. anyway, pretty sure I'm going to be a regular. it's nice not having to drive three-quarters of the way to San Diego when I'm feeling more like Chinese food than Chinese-ish American food.

I'd still consider getting this again though Spicy wontons with chili sauce (8/10): good but not the best I've had. Leaned more Szechuan spicy, which isn't my fave! Black pepper beef (10/10): soooo crispy and flavorful!!! Crispy sweet and sour pork slices (10/10): sooooo good. Loved the flavor. Perfect balance between sweet and spicy Eggplant (10/10): soft & had a really bold but not too salty flavor Yangzhou fried rice (8.5/10): fresh! Nothing too unique though. Overall would definitely recommend this place!

Came here on a Wednesday with a party of 5 for lunch and were seated immediately. The restaurant was half full. We ordered family style - Jellyfish, Fried Rice, Chili Wontons, Ong Choy, and braised pork belly. The Jellyfish, friend rice and chili wontons all came out pretty quickly, but we waited I'd say another 25 minutes before the other two dishes came out. This was less than ideal since we had already finished all our other dishes before the sauteed veggies and pork came out. The waitress explained to us many times that they were a bit understaffed that day and only one cook was in the back. There was a large catering order just before us. She also apologized for the wait. We can understand this, but it was just a slow meal overall. Some callouts for the food below: Jellyfish: Preserved jellyfish will always be my favorite. This one is a bit sweeter than I'm used to and not too sour/vinegary. Still delicious and comes out fast. Fried Rice: Decent. Can't go wrong with a fried rice. The taiwanese sausage is nice and sweet as well as smokey. The shrimp was large and plump. Chili Wontons: Tasted more like dumplings than wontons, the skin was thicker than I'm used to. The sauce is like a chili sauce but lacked much dimension like sweet/sour flavors. Ong Choy (Sauteed veggies): Bland. Lacked any salt or garlic. At least it wasn't over/under cooked. Pork Belly: Surprised me that it came it with bao and pickled mustard greens on the bottom. The fat is cooked well but the meat was slightly dry. Baos are a nice touch, pickled greens are also a bit dry. Passable in my opinion. I think I would come back to try some other dishes here in the future. I'm still in the search of my go-to Chinese spot in North County.
