    Pho Bowl and Grill is delicious! I ordered the Chef Special and it was yum! The broth has a ton of flavor, and for someone like me who doesn't add hoisin sauce or sriracha to the broth - it was yummy. The amount of protein and noodles is awesome, and you will definitely leave this place full.

    Dining al fresco with my meatball pho - very good and hit the spot!

    I hiked 8 miles to Potato Chip Rock and afterwards, was feeling a bit dehydrated or kind of like a tire with no air, so after resting for a couple of hours, I found my body asking for soup and salt. And when that happens, it's usually a piping bowl of ramen or pho that will answer my body's asks, so I checked out this place! This restaurant is in a strip mall a few blocks from the pier (ok maybe more like a 15 min walk) literally next door to Sunshine Kitchen. Sunshine Kitchen had a lot of diners inside and out, and I felt a little FOMO while I stuck to my decision to eat at Pho Bowl & Grill. They have two tables for outdoor seating and since no one was sitting outside and the temp was nice enough, I asked to sit outside. No problem for the guy taking care of me. He was the waiter, the guy answering the phone, the guy making sure take outs/deliveries were happening and cashier, and he got it all done! What a magician. He was pleasant enough as Asian service is about getting down to business so he took my meatball pho and diet Coke order and got to work on it. Meatball pho was delicious and piping hot and the side veggies were all fresh and abundant. Meal was very casual, I ate and slurped in peace and then went inside to pay. Great, low key spot that makes good pho. Id definitely return.

    I came here on sunday 12:40pm and this resturant was packed. I decided to go take out because I was going somewhere and needed to leave on time. The menu looked great just wish there were more spring roll options and traditional Vietnamese sandwich would be nice. Their pho and crispy egg noodles seen to shine. I ordered House Special Combo for my late brunch and spring rolls that is shrimp & pork it comes with 2 pieces and they are light easy to eat if you are busy and on the go. I would love to try their Thai green tea or expresso with condensed milk on ice and also try pho and crispy eggg noodle stir fry next week. I love how they are vegetarian friendly and do have healthier food alternatives. Parking is spacious, free and easy. It's a cozy resturant here with family oriented vibe. I will definitely be back.

    Overall, the food was great up until today. My biggest complaint was the customer service. My drinks have been forgotten multiple times while dining in-person and still got rung up for the items on the final bill. Today, I I had ordered take out pho and noticed no condiments were served with it. I initially thought to myself, "no big deal, mistakes happen." I begin eating the dish and notice pork skins all throughout the chicken pho, as well as a piece of HAIR. As someone that has a reaction to pork, I could not eat my dish and driving back to the restaurant was not feasible due to the distance and heavy traffic. I tried calling to get a refund and stated I have pictures as proof, but did not get anywhere. Giving the place the 2 out of 5 because the food was great up until this point.

    Gotta say. Super impressed with the Pho. Great portions of the proteins (plenty of tripe, brisket, beef). Great pho. I also really was excited about the temperature. A lot of pho places lately have been serving it tepid and it's been really bothersome as they bring out the meat raw and it takes forever to cook. Not here. Nice and hot!! I'll be back and can't wait to try some of their other items like the spring rolls!!

    The broth its self was not bad, just needed more of the pho flavor. It was served with plenty of meat and herbs which helped.

    The best pho in SD North County! I ordered Rare Beef with tendons pho and it didn't disappoint. The broth was seasoned well, not too salty and not bland. The balanced taste was great. The meat was very tender and fresh. I also ordered Shrimp spring rolls and it was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. The place was neat and orderly. Will go back for pho cravings soon.

    Good pho! I had the large chicken which had huge amounts of chicken white meat. Broth was a bit too sweet for me. Overall I'd still give it 5 Beer was reasonably priced also.

    I can't believe I stumbled onto another hidden gem during a one-night road trip down south! I had to charge the 3 on my way back to Los Angeles - with the chargers packed, I had about 1.5 hours to kill. Looked around and found this pho spot. Checked Yelp: 4.4 stars. Not bad - let's give it a shot. And I'm glad I did. The broth had a beautiful, clean flavor - not overly sweet or salty - and the texture was nice and clear. Noodles were firm and perfect for slurping. The rolls didn't disappoint either - I practically gobbled them. Solid place.

    I love Banh mi! One of my favorite dishes! This was the worst banh-mi of my life. Stale chewy bread, dry meat, dry everything, really bad. Also got a noodle dish, really bad. Overcooked noodles, dry beef,supposed to be ribeye...but the bread takes the 1st place for worst of his class. Ended up putting the sandwich filling on the noodles, since the bread was so bad. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but serving this kind of food, it's absolutely disrespectful to the customers. Left feeling sadly disappointed. What a ripoff.

    Open 10-830 daily. Plenty of free parking. Came for dinner. Not packed. Pay by cash and receive a free menu item in next visit ($45 and Up). Opened 8 years ago. They have a Pho bowl challenge for $45, finish in 45 mins get the bowl for free and get a gift card. Bun Bo hue doesn't have coagulated blood, pork hock or banana blossom. Made for western people since not a lot of Asians in the area and coagulated blood is probably weird to some. The bun Bo hue soup is good, I really liked the dish. Pretty stinky when it first was set on the table though. Pho soup was ok only, was salty but lacked typical pho flavor. Decent but more meh. Veggies were fresh. You can choose between white or egg noodles for stir fry noodles. Crispy or soft. There is only one person working the front so have to wait until he's not busy between phone orders, register, etc to finally get his attention if you were to need water or an extra bowl. At least he's upbeat and friendly. Overall nice place to eat a nice hot bowl of soup.

    Grilled Ribeye Beef combo. Comes with rice and a small side salad.

Other than incorrect business hours listed (this is a big deal IMO) the selection of beverages here is pretty good. So many options from milk teas, slushes, and fruit juices. One of the frustrating things is that they have a bunch of different beverages posted on the windows and lobby with drink names, but when you order those under the exact drink names, the barista's have no idea what they are. They drinks are pretty good, and worth stopping by on a hot day.

Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.

I was so happy to find a variety of my favorite Hawaiian Suns, so i definitely had to have one as my drink of choice. I did order the mixed bbq plate as that is one of my go-tos to try different meats. They really loaded the meat and rice which I greatly appreciated. The Mac salad was so small though. It's one of my favorite sides and I really do wish they gave more than 2-3 bites of Mac salad per order. The rice was good, a bit dry but nothing crazy. Absolutely loved their (Kalbi) short ribs, bbq beef, and bbq chicken. Short ribs are usually my favorite and they did not disappoint. I couldn't choose a favorite out of the three meats because they all had potent bbq flavor in each bite and all were cooked to perfection. Practically melts in your mouth when warm. I love to eat half of each of the meats and save the rest for another meal (since they really pack the meat in this order). I definitely need to come back to try their multiple other options but the Hawaiian bbq mix plate will always have my heart.
