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*

P1 (pho dac biet).
Tram N.

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!

Pho Tai

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!!

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.

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!

Food: everything tasted clean and delicious! Loved their congee chicken, Chinese donut, braised…read moremeatball soup the noodles were excellent and chewy and we also got their spicy chicken! Me and my husband was impressed for their food! We will be coming back!!! Customer service! Great service and the food came out so fast! Parking is plenty for retail parking! We can't wait to try more braised meats from this restaurant. Thank you chef!

Soup du Jour, a French? (No, Taiwanese fusion) restaurant in Convoy? (No, just south of Convoy)…read morelocated in a crouded strip mall? (No, lodged in an apartment complex). This place is decieving on many levels and subverts expectations in the best way possible. Walking in you wouldn't think much. I was surprised by the tall ceilings; this place is not large in square footage but it doesn't feel cramped in any way. We opted for the online menu as it included pictures, though not on every item. Very reasonable prices for generous portions. Every dish was a winner, though some better than others in the minute details. The Hainanese Chicken Rice was tender and rich that the ginger sauce cut through, but the color was strikingly yellow. The Rotisserie Chicken Salad offered a welcome sight of veggies, though the chicken itself tasted like that straight from Costco. The Scallion Pancake was crispy on the edges, doughy in the center, and you only get one per order. The Shitake Mushroom Minced Pork had no drawbacks, and would come back just for this. Combining familiar flavors and spices, adding roasted vegetables and rice made this a complete meal! We were unbothered by the service staff the entire time until asking for the check, strange as we were the only two in the restaurant. However, with these minor setbacks, I will be coming back to try their noodles, soups, and desserts!

They only have a few selections on their menu. They specialize in the beef rib bone Cambodian…read morenoodle soup and they have huge spring rolls. The meat on the bones was so tender, it fell right off of the bone. Their broth is so delicious. Don't forget to taste that before you put in that bomb ass house chili oil. And to all the Cambodians from a Cambodian, it tastes better than most of your momas house, j/k, but I'm not, lol. The chili oil sauce is spicy, but that's how I like it. And oh, that sugar cane drink completed the whole meal. It was good and not too sweet, just the way I like it. The owners were great. They were so sweet and welcoming. Don't forget to order some of their Chili oil house sauce for the house. I would definitely come back again if I am in the San Diego area. I highly recommend this place.

One of the best pho I've had at a restaurant. The broth was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh,…read moreand everything tasted great. I also ordered the cococane (coconut and sugarcane) drink, and it was delicious. My wife loved her meal too, which always makes the experience even better. Happy wife, happy life! Our food came out quickly, and the staff checked on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. The balance was perfect. Modern, clean, and comfortable. A great place to relax and enjoy a good meal. We'll be back, San Diego. And we'll be ordering that pho again.
