    Veggie P17.  Vegetarian Noodle Soup (Phở Chay)
    Sonia V.

    A solid, casual go-to spot for pho! Veggie option available. Service is pretty quick and there's indoor/outdoor seating. It is more costly when you ask for to-go orders (by like $2). Boyfriend always gets their beef broth pho and loves it. Says that the broth is very delicious and flavorful. Definitely hits the spot overall. Spring rolls are also good.

    Delicious. If no one else got me, I know pho place got me. The last pho review I did, I mentioned wanting the thinly sliced steak to still be pink. This is what I was talking about. It's almost perfect. Overall, this joint is relatively generous with the meat also. A ton of brisket. I like the broth here more too. It's just a bit richer. More herbs also. I ordered a large, and it's an absurd amount of broth. I almost regret getting the lemonade soda. The place feels surprisingly trendy. I'll probably find a joint I like even more than this, but I think this is good enough for me to drop a *****.

    P1. Special Beef Noodle Soup
    Alexander C.

    Have been craving pho for a while now so decided to give Pho Bo a try. Gotta say, their food is solid. Started with their Cha Gio (egg rolls) which came with lettuce, herbs and of course nuac cham for dipping. Wrap a roll in lettuce and herbs and get to dunking. Crispy, savory, sweet all the things really, very well done. For pho I went with Dac Biet that was loaded with all the goods. Meatballs, rare steak, tendon, and fatty brisket were all so tender and that broth, so fragrant and balanced. Plus ample amount of rice noodles. I was in slurpy heaven! I did take out and everything was packaged perfectly. Fortunately Pho Bo is close to where I live so my order arrived piping hot. Good job! Looking forward to trying more dishes soon especially their Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong, Egg Rolls & Char Grilled Pork with Vermicelli Noodles. *drool*

    After dropping our luggage off since it was too early to check-in, I was thrilled that Gavin wanted Asian. The Uber ride was less than 8 minutes. We were the first to walk in. They open at 9. We picked a table right by the outlet so we can charge our phones. We ordered their P1 (pho dac biet) and Gavin ordered their C14 (BBQ pork fried rice). Service was fast and friendly. The broth was light and clean. The restroom was clean, the restaurant was spacious and inviting. Kudos to them being open early, too!

    It was my first time here and as you walk in the restaurant is very spacious and has a lot of seating. The food had a lot of flavor and the fish sauce was 10/10. Some places don't have good fish sauce. We ordered: Beef vermicelli 10/10 Pho tai 10/10 Egg rolls 10/0 Two smoothies 0/10 The service was fast and friendly! I wish we didn't order the smoothies because it just tasted like condense milk with slushy ice, if we didn't order that this would be 5 stars. Unfortunately they lose a star for the terrible smoothie.

    Fatty Brisket Pho

    I really enjoyed the pho broth--it was rich and full of flavor. They were generous with the meat in each serving (we ordered the large pho). I usually go to Pho Hoa when I'm craving pho, but Pho Bo definitely impressed me. I'll be coming back again.

    My daughter wanted pho and this was close by to Coronado. The pho here was amazing! The broth was nice and beefy, the depth that only comes from plenty of bones and meat stewing instead of the instant seasoning paste so many restaurants use in large quantities. I got pho dac biet and you can tell each cut of meat was carefully tended to make sure it was the right texture- the ve don ("crunchy flank") actually had a crisp bite that is so hard to get at restaurants! First time I had a bowl in SD that would be worthy of OC - delicious! The strawberry smoothie was also so refreshing.

    Overall: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 This spot is one of the best Pho's I've had. The service was fast, polite, and personable. And when I say personable, the older gentleman (Gramps) came and asked me "Hey, You ready!" Lol.. I wasn't ready yet. But they gave me that feeling like it's one of my older uncles asking me if I'm ready. The bathroom was super clean! This is always a plus in my book! The food, exceptional! One of the best pho broths I've ever had. The fatty brisket, the beef rib, the noodles, and the Thai tea, all delicious. Would I double back? Yesssirski!!

    Broken rice with grilled pork and shrimp
    Pauline L.

    This place is right behind Chicano Park, across the way from Northgate Market, right in the corner. It's modern, clean, and spacious. Even the bathrooms had nice decor and were clean, which says a lot for a pho establishment. We had egg roll appetizers that were nice and hot, and crunchy. Could have used a little more salt or seasoning in the meat, but not bad. We specifically went here for my pescatarian friend, who asked me to make sure there was vegetarian pho. There was, but after the meal, she said the noodles were a bit overdone. I had the broken rice with grilled shrimp and pork. Mine was delicious, I'd order it again and again. Everything was seasoned well, pork was juicy and caramelized, and the 5 shrimp were a good size, with good bite... Not the dinky kind that I'm used to seeing, and not rubbery. Service was fairly quick; I'd come back here if I was in the area. My friend was staying at the Hilton Bayfront, and this was the closest pho spot, just a 6 min drive.

    Spring rolls

    Solid spot, no complaints! Spring rolls and Bhan Mi both bomb the ambiance was also cool, as you get a view of the Coronado bridge

    Absolutely delicious, just what you need on a nice chilly day. I ordered a small P8 and it was so filling. Definitely throw a bit of chili oil in the pho to make it spicy. If you are sick this will sure clear your sinuses. Our server was so attentive as well, never missed our refills and we didn't even have to tell him. Went here with my coworkers and we all loved it. Will be back!

It's located in a shared complex, but I've never had any issues finding parking, even after coming here multiple times. I always end up ordering their chicken wings or one of their Vietnamese dishes. This time, I got the bánh xèo, which is a savory Vietnamese pancake filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. It was super delicious. My mom and I also shared the bún riêu, a flavorful tomato-based noodle soup with meat, and that was really good too. My dad and brother got noodles with pork and egg rolls, which were also super yummy. I also ordered a bạc xỉu, which is a Vietnamese three-layer coffee drink, and it was so good. This is one of my favorite places to go in Kearny Mesa because I really love the vibe of the restaurant itself. I definitely want to try their phở sometime, but their other dishes are always such a craving for me that I keep ordering them instead. The service was also great overall. We were seated pretty quickly, the food came out fast, and the restaurant was clean with a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back again.

So, I'll leave a legitimate review along with pictures. Initially, we were ambivalent about trying this place due to the high prices but they also have an exceptional rating on Google and Yelp. 4.9 on both Google and Yelp, that's rare. We bit the bullet and headed there. Parking can be tough but luckily we found parking in front of the restaurant. It was free after 8 pm on a Tuesday. If you go earlier or on the weekends, I would read the parking sign more carefully. There might be free street parking on the left side behind the restaurant. Don't quote me on that. Like I said, parking is not as easy as other places in SD. There are quite a bit of tables to sit in. It wasn't busy when we went. Yes, they do have a very large menu with like 1,000 items. We are not vegetarian or vegan but we have tried vegan places in Denver, CO. We ordered eel Helen pho roll, crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi, and duck wonton noodle soup. The owner also gave us complimentary desserts, vegan corn pudding and vegan creme. She also gave us cookies and two cups of that delicious special water to go. That special water is hands down one of the best drinks I've ever had. Prices range $22-30. -eel Helen pho roll 5 - not real eel but this was very tasty. I like that the rolls don't fall apart easily. -crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi 5 - the bread has a crispy exterior and the inside is moist.
