I love Vietnamese beef stew and now and then crave it. For the third and last time, I came here to eat it. Each time the throw Pho meat in it and it changes the flavor. I begged them before ordering to just leave it out, but they just can't do it. Shame. Place has great broth for the stew. read more

Pho 4 Queen - doesn't belong in Boh Ko - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

Went here for lunch with a few colleagues and had a good meal. The restaurant was rather busy in the middle of the day, but that didn't stop the service from being very attentive and the food coming out quickly. The pho was pretty standard. Truth be told, I really can't tell the difference in taste from one pho place to the next, but regardless it hit the spot on a cold day. We'll definitely be coming back in the near future when we need our pho fix. read more

Service was kind and quick, all though the server didn't say much you could tell he was happy to serve you and was very quick with every request. The ambiance isn't the fanciest or the prettiest but it's very clean which is all I care for. We ordered a large pho with the well done steak and we also ordered the eggrolls. Stating with the pho I love that they have the thicker noodles and they serve a solid amount of noodles and beef! Me and my gf were able to share the bowl and eggrolls and be fulfilled. The beef is super tender and flavorful and the broth is one of the best I've had. My family is Vietnamese and we've been coming here for years as they have the best quality and size to dollar ratio!!! And then the eggroll were solid, rlly nice crunch and the side dishes that were served were very fresh. Finally deciding to write a review after all years we've been coming, they deserve the business ! Kind people ! read more

Pho 4 Queen - Half eaten pho and eggrolls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

I just want to let everyone know this place is absolutely unprofessional and very discriminatory. I placed a pick up order over the phone, and they said 20 minutes it will be ready. When I arrived 30 minutes, it was not ready. This is the worst place for service I have been to. I recently have discovered Pho San Marcos and Pho Ca Dao as way better. Please avoid this place! Very bad! Terrible service! read more

Excellent tasty food with fresh ingredients and delicious selection of entrees! Very friendly place .

Really Great Food. I also tried to read the dishes I ordered in Vietnamese. The server helped correct me on the correct pronunciation of the dish. I felt more native listening to the music and enjoying my meal :) read more

This place is amazing! The wait staff was friendly the place was clean and the food reminded (well my friend who is Vietnamese) of home.

This review is a little overdue, but it's definitely well deserved. We went here last Saturday while visiting San Diego, it was a hole-in-the-wall place that we didn't know what to expect. We were greeted immediately upon entering, there were several older Asian guys eating alone in there- that's when you know the food is good. We were then given this menu that looks at least 10 years old- also another sign that a Asian restaurant is delicious. Been making the same exact food for years and still works! A large bowl of pho with everything in it was $13- you really can't beat the price. I have never been to a pho place where that they gave you THAT much meat before. They sure made it worth the price The flavor is absolutely fresh, light and delicious, like how pho is supposed to be. The restaurant was clean, no AC but the weather wasn't that bad- I mean you've got to save money somehow with that unbeatable price. Def would come back. Officially my fav pho place. read more

Pho 4 Queen - Tofu noodle soup with vegetarian broth INSANE. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

Great taste and large portions! The price is reasonable too. It's one of the better ones in San Marcos.

Authentic Vietnamese restaurant with extensive menu. Loved the fish clay pot. Portion is also generous.

This place has really good pho! The service is the only reason I am giving 4 stars.. the guy taking our order seems to not pay attention to us and ended up giving us something we didn't order.. it took a while for our food to come out also.. but I think it was only the one guy there on his computer taking orders and cooking. But we were the only ones there.. read more

Pho 4 Queen - The noodles were old and overcooked they couldn't sell it yesterday so they recooked it today to resale - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

First, I get my bowl of pho and i find a bug in it. I tell the server and he is confused what to do. He brings me a new bowl but refused to give me a discount and was very rude about it. It should not be okay to have a bug in your food and not get some sort of customer service for it! read more

The best veggie pho around! The most flavorful vegetarian pho I've had in the area and like others have said the portions are extremely generous. Eating in or ordering take out you won't be disappointed. My family loves the seafood and chicken pho as well and we always get the veggie spring rolls to start. Love this place! read more

Food and portion was very good not a big fan of soda in a can so it would've been nice to have a fountain drink instead. Friendly and helpful service as well. Place was very clean. read more

Best Pho I've had! Very sweet Mom and Pop sort of restaurant! If you're ever in the San Marcos area I highly recommend.

My go to Vietnamese spot in my area. Fresh, portion is perfect, fast service. Came here also to dine in on a rainy day and still excellent service and ambiance. Would recommend to anyone in north county read more

The broth is a amazing. It's really hard to find good pho and this is one of the best in North County.

This place is definitely a fave of mine for Vietnamese food in the North County (dare I say it...maybe even in all of SD?). All of the food here is really delicious and I think it is even comparable to the places I've eaten in the Westminster/Garden Grove area. From the pho, vermicelli, to the fried egg and spring rolls, everything on the menu is outright delectable. An item also very comparable and my favorite on the menu is the Banh Xeo. I've tried this at other Vietnamese restaurants around SD but Pho 4 Queen has the trophy for this one. This Vietnamese crepe is just outright magnificent. It's a savory dish that contains pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts wrapped in a crispy batter that you additionally wrap in lettuce and dip into fish sauce. The entire ensemble of goodness is a divine experience that you must try for yourself (if you haven't already). Vietnamese food is up there as one of my favorite asian cuisine and this establishment lives up to all of my expectations. The food and service here has always been so consistently great that I'll continue to find myself back here time and time again :) read more

Okayyy so they messed up my order and didn't give me brisket, but gave me a small bowl on the side. They're cuts of meat are really fatty and thicker than the usual cuts of pho meat... but their tendon is a love of mine and you CANNNNNNOT get bigger pho bowls in San Marcos than here at Pho 4 Queen soooo if you do go!!!!

Wonder service, fantastic food, and affordable prices. My friends and I ordered pho and the Vietnamese curry on the special menu. Nobody left a drop in their bowl behind. I believe we were served by the owner who is the sweetest lady. Can't emphasize enough how delicious the food is. Will definitely be coming back! read more

First time here, don't like eating felt like eating vegetables and noodles so stopped in for late lunch.

I can't believe I've lived in North County for almost 20 years and never knew of this place! Great dishes that taste like you'd make at home if you had the time. Really, really good prices, and the portions are more than generous.I have been back twice already this week and will keep coming back! Love the food! Plus, the man in front, I assume the owner, is so sweet! read more

We have been coming here for years, even with multiple owners at the helm, we've still had great service and food! The pho is legit! Our Vietnamese and Laotian friends have agreed that it is more closer to homemade than most restaurants read more

Pho 4 Queen - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, California

Portions are large and they are not stingy with their meats for Pho (just when I thought I had eaten all of my chicken, there was more!). Noodles are thicker than the traditional angel hair noodles. Wait staff was very nice and prompt. Prices are reasonable. Interior needs upgrading. read more

Pretty decent food here, great service and clean environment! Their egg rolls were crispy, flavorful and delicious with all the cucumbers, pickled veggies, mint leaves and lettuce they gave us, with a generous amount too! Many pho places are stingy with the veggies on the egg roll plate. It is not uncommon to have one lettuce leaf for two egg rolls... Not this place!! Instead of pho, I got their egg noodle soup with char siu and wonton. It's a good bowl with the flavorful clear broth, meaty wonton, tender char siu (pork slices) and chewy noodles. I also got to try their bun bo hue a little bit. The broth was good although not the best I've had in the North County area. Also they don't put pork's blood in it, which is something that I actually like... We also got their chicken wings. On the menu they didn't mention the style. It's basically fried and tossed with a kind of oily sauce with some onions and lettuce. The plate was so oily that the lettuce pretty much absorbed the oil so we didn't eat any of that. If you don't soak the wings in oil, they tasted pretty good, not bad, but definitely not the best way to cook wings in my opinion. Service was really good. They came to take our order quickly, kept refilling our glasses and cleared our table quickly too. Overall we had a pleasant experience here and we would be back if we're in the area again. read more

All Hail the Queen! Pho 4 Queen, that is! Seriously, this place is royally GOOD! I like me my Asian yummy, especially when it's affordable, fast, and served with a smile. When it comes to delicious soups, what more can I say except that I'm a total "Pho HO" and I like to try different places. Pho-Ever is very good, but I've been going there for so darn long that, after eating every thing on their menu 5-6 times over, well, I began seeking greater variety. Pho Oceanside is good too but the traffic to get there for me off the I-5 and, or, the Coast Highway can get really hellacious. Kim's is one of the best but also the most expensive. So I began courting some royalty. Took out my smart phone, logged on to my favorite food hooker site, yelp.com, and typed in "Pho". Suddenly the skies cleared, a rainbow appeared, and a golden pathway (aka google maps) pointed me in the direction of Pho 4 Queen! I mean, you just gotta love that name alone!!! It turns out that it's closer to my house than Pho-Ever, just as good, and about 20% cheaper too! I called in my take-out order and the lady who answered the phone was super nice. She quickly took my order and even offered to give me driving directions to the restaurant. How cool is that? Pho 4 Queen is located in a strip mall and is situated between a .99 Cent Only Store and a Western Dental and Orthodontics. There's plenty of parking and the sign on above the business is very easy to see when you look east from Rancho Santa Fe road in San Marcos. Walked in and BAM, my order was ready not more than 10 minutes after I phoned it in! The Spring Rolls were perfection! I ordered​ both the Shrimp and Pork and also the Vegetarian ones. The rice paper wrapper was moist, brilliantly fresh, and literally melted in my mouth after biting into it! Asian Foodie Tip #1- Rice paper wrappers that are overly chewy are O L D! The Grilled Beef Skewer was awesomely divine and fit for a king! It was tender, charred perfectly, and delicately seasoned. Super, duper YUM! The #11 House Special Pho was outstanding! The broth was not overly salty and the meats were meticulously sliced into tender bite size pieces. The rice noodles were soft, perfectly al dente, and served with farm fresh bean sprouts, basil, and onions. Asian Foodie Tip #2- Rice noodles that are brittle or break apart into small pieces/dissolve in your broth are S T A L E! So I totally look forward to coming back to Pho 4 Queen! This place is fantastic and inspires the Foodie Perfectionist in me because, in the words of Oprah Winfrey, "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.​" read more

I really enjoy this place, the pho here is wonderful and delicious. If you want a quick place for lunch, I would definitely recommend it

This review is about the Pho only. I dont understand how a business that has Pho in their name and is highly rated has such horrible tasting Pho. When I go out to eat I dont really worry about the ambiance or to an extent the cleanliness, as long as the food is good I dont care about the rest. I just cant get over how bad my wife and I's Phos were. The broth tasted like tap water, meat was old and tough, and the tripe was just as bad. There was a funny part to this experience, the young kid behind the counter who was suppose to be attending everyone was too busy painting little figurines and watching a movie on his laptop. Not a care in world from behind the counter. Lol. read more

Really delicious Pho! We are so happy to find this place and it's close! We would eat a lot of Pho in LA and Vancouver when we lived there and couldn't find a good place in suburbia. Now we have! and this place is great! Really nice a friendly owner and the prices are great. read more

This place is under new management since my last visit. I wanted to give it another go, so I ordered some food togo. Chicken pho with veggies and grilled chicken rice plate They packed the noodles, onion, herbs and veggies in one togo container. I hope I wasn't short on noodles because I ordered veggies with the pho. Anyway, it seemed like it would've travelled better if the veggies were packed separately. The pho broth was extremely salty and lacked flavor. How do I know this? I'm Vietnamese and I grew up on this stuff. The grilled chicken was a bit dry and also pretty bland. I could barely taste the marinade. I don't think I have high standards for good pho. There are places that get a pass but their broth was just too salty. read more

I eat Vietnamese beef noodle soup at least once a week. I'm half Vietnamese with a grandmother passionate about cooking. She'll roast your cooking skills and how you dress yourself. She shows no mercy. Anyway, I've tried quite a few spots locally and this is the best. My portion was freaking huge. All business have raised their prices to deal with the times but Pho 4 Queen maintained their portions. The flavor was there. I got the Bun noodle with bbq pork and egg roll. Like I do at any Vietnamese restaurant. If not, I get the house special beef noodle soup which has everything. I downed the entire bowl, I probably shouldn't have because of how big it was but grandma didn't teach a quitter. I got a side of beef broth to taste. A good beef broth is my way of gauging a restaurant's authenticity. Beef noodle soup broth was flavorful and delicious. I'd bring my grandma here. The only thing she would be critiquing would be my style. read more

Best pho I've had so far in San Diego and North county! The prices are super fair, and I can't wait to try other stuff on the menu.

We saw this place the other day when we hit up the 99 cent store, and we laughed saying "wow pho 4 queen?" and thought it looked closed. Boyfriend wanted pho (as always), and we decided to look up nearby places close to the movie theater. Ended up choosing this place over others and am so glad that we did! The lady working in the back is so sweet, especially when she delivered our food. The portions were way bigger than I am normally used to in OC, so that was a very nice surprise. Prices were on par with what you would normally get elsewhere. Food was delicious. I got a good amount of meat in my bun, and boyfriend said there was a good amount in his pho as well. Solid place! Will definitely be coming back. read more
