    Taro shake with Boba was so good!  I'd definitely get another one!
    Tania D.

    I was craving some Pho, and saw this place was a few stops from the Anaheim convention center on the Blue line so I went to check it out. I got the kids size of the Pho, a Bahn Mi and a Taro shake with Boba that I'm still thinking about, it was so good! Prices seemed reasonable and the staff were very informative and friendly. I would go back again.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Fatty Brisket Pho
    Vanessa R.

    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.

    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!!

    DELICIOUS and friendly staff. I didn't have to add fish sauce, hoisin, or anything for flavor. I only added peppers for heat

    Pho broth lackluster on a Saturday in October 2023. Service o.k. Tea o.k. I thought broth was everything in pho.

    It was the first time my husband and I had eaten there. We had heard wonderful comments about it…read moreand it did not disappoint. The food we experienced was delicious. With the friendly, advice of the waitress at the bar we ordered a good variety of food, without it being too spicy for me. The ambiance was perfect. We plan to go back.

    Phuong Trang has been a San Diego staple for decades. It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

Great great all around Service: attentive and we went for a celebration and they made custom menus. Love that Ambiance: elegant but inviting, simple but upscale. It was perfect. Worth the trip, the money and the time. Go...

    Kingfisher serves some genuinely delicious food. The scallops were outstanding, the fried rice was…read moreflavorful, and the black cod was also excellent. The kitchen clearly knows how to prepare quality dishes, and the food is the reason I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of less. That said, I deducted one star because of the location and overall environment. I chose Kingfisher because I was looking forward to Vietnamese cuisine, but when I arrived, my first impression was disappointing. Right by the entrance there was a strong urine smell, and because the restaurant has an open-air layout, it affected the dining experience. I also found myself concerned about the surrounding neighborhood and the overall setting. For me, a great restaurant is about more than just the food--it's also about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying the atmosphere. Even if a restaurant serves amazing food, the experience isn't complete if the location makes guests feel uneasy. I understand that Kingfisher has earned Michelin recognition, and the quality of the food certainly shows why. However, I hope the overall dining environment can improve because the talented kitchen deserves a setting that matches the excellent dishes they serve. I would gladly return if this establishment were located in a cleaner, more welcoming area without the homeless encampments nearby.
