* Good Vietnamese spot if you don't want to drive all the way to El Cajon * Spacious and clean dining area * Staff are always super sweet and welcoming * Pho is okay, but I really like their vermicelli bowls * Generous portions, especially with the protein * Mango and taro smoothies are both really good and taste like real fruit * Fried calamari is a must-order, huge portion and great for sharing Overall, a reliable neighborhood spot with friendly service, good portions, and solid food. read more

Pho Convoy Noodle House - vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Came during a weekday night. Place was pretty empty. Parking was easy to find on their lot. Ordered their catering for $104. The catering supposedly only came in one size and was meant to feed 5-6 people. We picked up the catering 20 minutes from ordering. The food was ready when we picked it up. The vegetables were cold as expected and the meat was warm as expected. The amount of food we received was enough to feed seven adults. They were generous with the meat, but they were really salty. There wasn't enough bún to go around. Overall, we appreciated the speed of the meal, but not fan of its taste as everyone in the party thought the meat was way too salty. read more

This was my first time trying Pho Convoy Noodle House a Vietnamese restaurant on Otay Lakes Rd in Chula Vista, CA. I had a craving for Vietnamese Pho. The last time I had Pho soup was 7 years ago when I was living in the east coast. I ordered the large #1 Pho Tai, Nam, Gau, Gan, Sach which translates to Rare steak, flank, brisket, tendon and tripe. This soup did not disappoint!! I added the fresh basil, lemon, house sauce, sriracha, and hoisin sauce. The soup was so delicious!! I also ordered the #18A: shrimp spring rolls also very delicious. I look forward to coming back to have this soup again and trying their Banh Mi sandwiches. The service was great and restaurant was very clean. Check it out! Happy Yelping :) read more

was craving Vietnamese and this was the closest in proximity to our destination. Inside was spacious, menu was like a Vietnamese version of cheesecake factory menu. So much to choose from. My husband wanted a rice plate and got the satay beef and a side of grilled chicken. I opted for the bbq beef banh mi. Looked promising however our meals were underwhelming. Although they were ok in taste, we left feeling full but not satisfied. My banh mi was just ok. It came deconstructed and i thought that was a cute idea to present the food. the beef was just ok. The bbq sauce it comes with was hoisin sauce. I opted not to add it with my sandwich. The baguette didnt have that crisp flavor. it was a big portion but i felt the flavor in everything was just lacking. My husbands meal was just ok for him as well. He usually finishes his meal but left more than half and opted to just take home. Probably a place we wont return to unfortunately. The staff are really nice and helped with whatever questions were asked. It seemed pretty busy on a tuesday night with lots of carry out orders and dining in at 8pm. Parking is easy to find, big parking lot. read more

Pho broth is heavy on the fake beef bouillon, sugar, and aniseed. Ordered Banh Hoi Satay and it's supposed to be grilled beef skewer but ended up with meatloaf? Prices are up but the food quality is pretty bad. I also noticed they make you pay gratuity for just a table of 4, which is crazy to me. I really can't believe this place is still open after all of these years. It wasn't good in 2016 and it still certainly isn't good now. It truly makes me wonder if the owners have actually tried all of the Vietnamese dishes they listed on their menu. Don't come here if you can help it, it's just not good. read more

*great parking *good for large parties * great service * casual ambiance *tasty food This place is great for some tasty pho! Love coming here anytime of the year. Customer service is great. The calamari here is one of my favorite appetizers here a must try. The broken rice is also good with the fried fish large portion. The spicy pho is my go to when here. Definitely love that i don't have to drive Miles for good comfort food. read more

I had brunch here with my friend the other day. I haven't been here in years. The menu seems to be the same, but the food does taste a little different from what I remember. The service was on point, and we stayed talking well past being done with our meal and the staff didn't make us feel rushed at all. I ordered: #25 the Skewered Satay Beef- the meatballs are not as firm as they were in the past, they completely fall apart when you cut them in half. But they were good. #14A House Special Satay Pho- this was so great, flavorful and really filling. I loved it. Thai Iced Tea to-go - very tasty, exactly what I was hoping for. Parking was easy, there are lots of spots. The vibe was casual. read more

My family and I went here for the first time a couple days ago. Food wasn't too bad, I really enjoyed the Pho (#2 on menu). We also ordered fried egg rolls and some salad with cold noodles that I never had before. It was surprisingly refreshing and yummy. Service was great and the people working there were kind. It was the ambiance for me that gives it a 4/5 stars. Valentine's Day balloons were still up and there were chairs stacked up. Maybe from an event? Or rearranging that side of the restaurant? Could use a little sprucing up! All in all, pho was my favorite. Would go again! read more

Our friends invited us for dinner and so we went with 2 more couples. Very close to our home and even though there's other restaurants in the area, the night we went was almost on full capacity. Our friends ordered a fish dish which escapes me at the moment but it was so good! It didn't taste fishy at all! I am a creature of habit and i ordered the easiest..i ordered "Pho." It was so good and it just made the cold night really warm...hit the hungry spot in my belly! We ordered more and heard my friends say "the food is good!" The owners and waiters were very nice and welcoming, took our orders right. The mood inside the restaurant was very light and filled with joy as people in nearby tables chat and seem to enjoy their food! I failed to take pictures since we were very hungry but i assure you, you won't regret trying this place out! They have Boba too! read more

perfect for a cold day or feeling sick. this is my go to if i don't want to drive far it's nearby my home and it's flavorful and reasonably priced. i always get the #3 chin and sometimes ill get the spring rolls. i also got the thai tea. thai tea is pretty sweet which is my preference. they do get pretty busy on colder or rainy days but you can call in. i never sat down and ate in here just always to go and i haven't had a bad experience. sometimes just a long wait because it's busy but that's all. overall good pho, nothing life changing just my go to for nearby pho. read more

Food was so-so. I ate here two days in a row, ordering two different phos and ordered the spring roll. Tasted bland. Service was average. Hot tea was served with a very tiny cup, and a pot of hot tea. The cup was literally looked like a shot glass with a tiny holder, and I asked two tea cups and I was not allowed to, the waitress said it was charged per person. blah. I did not feel like ordering anything else. I did not feel I was in an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. the decor and the vibe were insignificant. read more

They closed at 9pm and we get here early. Not a really good service. The restaurant is still full. Don't come here

I went here for a quick bite after I was in the area. I used to come here years ago before Covid, and I forgot how good the food is! I know during Covid they were takeout only but coming back to dine in is such a treat. Food: Bun Bo Hue 5/5 Most pho spots don't have Bun Bo Hue and I've been dying to try it since my Viet friends always recommend it. I finally got it here at Pho Convoy and it was amazing!! All the flavors were spectacular and I highly recommend if you want a little spicy broth. The meats balls with the brisket honestly made my day. Vietnamese Drip Coffee: 5/5 Whenever I eat Pho I crave the coffee and this place just did amazing with the coffee to creamer ratio. Loved!! Service: 5/5 From the moment we sat down and ordered, food arrived in less then 8 minutes!!! So amazing. They seated us right away and there was no wait. I thank our server who was a younger man and he checked up on us multiple times and refilled our water. Ambiance is very casual but honestly coming here for lunch or dinner is a win! Great for families and big groups too as they have numerous seating. If you're craving pho, I think this is the best pho spot in Chula Vista! Definitely coming back read more

Good food, great service. Nice big restaurant with lots of tables/seating. We stopped in after one of our morning soccer games at Southwestern College. I had the veggie pho as it was during lent. The broth was very flavorful. My daughter and husband said the garlic wings and regular pho were delicious as well. The menu is pretty extensive, so I'm sure there's something for everyone if you're not in the mood for soup. It's in a big plaza, so there's plenty of parking. read more

We struggle to eat out as an extended family because my mom has a shrimp allergy, and Asian restaurants are usually out since a couple people in our family have sensitivity to MSG. The waiter went out of his way to ensure her meal selection was safe, and walked back to the kitchen to make sure her meal was prepared with allergy precautions. All our meals were DeLiCious and we felt it was reasonably priced given we are eating out in CA. We will be back again the next time we visit the area! read more

This has been my go to pho restaurant in the Otay area for the past 5 years. I stopped dining in after Covid and always ordered takeout. I chose to dine in tonight and ordered my regular 12A - shrimp and pork wontons with egg noodles. The food never misses and is very flavorful! I will say for service, I wished the workers had more help as dinner rush had the person working at the front bouncing from taking orders to giving people their take out meals. It was very busy for one hostess/waiter/cashier to handle, however, with how busy it was, the customer service was still top tier! Ambiance was nice! My friend who tagged along with me liked how they were playing the smiths so he made me tip more lol! Overall, pho convoy is a hidden gem in Chula Vista! Highly recommend if you want a warm hardy meal. read more

Pho Convoy Noodle House - 12A. Hoanh Thanh Mi (bottom) 4. Pho Tai (top) - Vietnamese Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Came for the sandwich they serve a large roll with half the meat needed to make a sandwich but charge you for the size regular price, when asked for a fair portion to at least cover the empty part was told they weigh each portion and that's that per owner. Don't come and if you do, do not order their sandwiches unless you want to eat only bread and butter. Very stingy, if they want to charge it's ok but serve enough, people pay for what's fair. read more

The pho at Pho Convoy Noodle House is delicious, and while it may not be the best I've ever had, it is still very good. In addition to pho, they offer a range of other Vietnamese dishes such as crispy egg rolls, banh mi sandwiches, and rice plates. I ordered a Large #1 combo pho and it was quite tasty. The broth was rich and savory, with a nice balance of spices and flavors. The portion sizes are decent and you'll definitely leave feeling like you've gotten your money's worth. There were good amounts of meats and noodles. The place is not the cleanest or newest but it certainly has its own unique charm. Overall while it's not the kind of pho that will make you want to drop everything and move to Vietnam, Pho Convoy Noodle House is a pretty good lunch spot. You can't go wrong giving this restaurant a try. read more

Im glad we gave this place a try. It's definitely a family run business; so it has that vibe and feel to it. The food is great, we ordered chicken pho, and house fried rice. Both were good but i highly recommend the house fried rice. Our food came out promptly after ordering, and the staff was friendly. Very reasonable prices. Will come again and will try different dishes read more

I've been coming to Pho Convoy Noodle House for years, and it never disappoints! The staff is always friendly, and my takeout orders are always hot, fast, and accurate. Their rare steak pho is my go-to, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Most recently, I picked up a Valentine's Day order, and it made our night even better. Great food, great service what more could you want. read more

Came here for convenience. Pho place close to home. When we're too lazy to drive north for pho, we usually go to another spot in the area but decided to give this place a shot again. There's a private parking lot. Lots of seating inside. We didn't have to wait. Service was good. Food cans out in a timely manner. Food quality could be better. I think we got the special combo pho- broth was ok. Also got chicken wings- not sure what was up with all the onions on it. My husband got a banh mi- again sorry forgot which one as I'm late in posting this. The bang mi was served deconstructed. The bread was really good, appeared fresh and soft in inside. I was disappointed because they only put butter on the bread. Where was the mayo? I had to ask for it and they didn't have any. So I waited until I got home and put the banh mi together myself along w/ mayo and sriracha. They also offer boba drink. My daughter got the mango boba. read more

I'm a vegetarian, so I can't comment on any of Convoy's meat dishes, but I can tell you this: the tofu spring roll was really good. The tofu bahn mi was good; the bread was outstanding, but I wanted a little more from the slaw. More dressing perhaps? Friendly staff? read more

My husband loves this place. He loves the pho. And we both love the smoothies. He gets the pineapple coconut and I just tried the soursop and it was so good. We actually got ours 50% sweetness and it was perfect. Not overly sweet. They use real fruit :) and the older Asian guy who works there is so so nice. Super sweet and he was excited to make sure we liked our food. Very genuine and kind. read more

For a neighborhood pho this one is not a bad one, they have pretty much everything I want, bahn mi, pho, egg roll and jackfruit smoothie.

The pho is amazing!! We never have to wait long, we get seated right away!! The boba smoothie is delicious

Service was good. I had Pho Tom(shrimp) and it was so bland. Maybe three slivers of white onion, a ball of noodles and some shrimp. The broth was nearly clear a without any other herbs, veggies or seasonings. It was very basic. The plate of spouts had one slice of jalapeño a two sprigs of basil. I had water to drink. When the bill came I was shocked! $18.50 for the one bowl of soup. In the future I'll try other options. read more

I recently paid a visit to Pho Convoy Noodle House and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! The pho was delicious and had the perfect balance of flavors. The spring rolls were fresh. The fried egg rolls were also a hit, crispy on the outside and full of yummy goodness on the inside. While I noticed that the portion sizes were the same for both the regular and large size, with the only difference being the amount of broth, the staff more than made up for it with their fantastic service. They were so accommodating with our large party of over 10 people, including some very active and talkative children, and they never once lost their smile or their kindness. read more

When we used to live in Huntington Harbor, we were a short 5 minute drive away from Garden Grove and Westminster where there were 100's of Pho places where each one was better than the last. Is this place as good? No. But is this place the best in Chula? Absolutely. Hey, when you come 8 miles from the border, you expect great Mexican food not great Vietnamese food. But when you find really good food - and a super friendly staff - you gotta give them a shout out! read more

The smoothies with boba are yum. They have a variety of flavors to chose from. We got the chicken pho, shrimp spring rolls and fried spring rolls. The food was fresh and hot. The drinks icy cold. The soup broth was very light....lighter than im used to. But some would not see this as in issue esp if youre the type to add a bunch of sauces and siracha to your broth. Wasnt too busy...the lady is very sweet and food came out quicky. Clean...inviting restaurant. read more

4 stars because their pho does not compare to how good Pho Hiep's pho is. 4 stars because, WOW! Their customer service is the best experience we've had this week! They're all smiles and very welcoming. I love the service vibe we received. They are definitely happy employees and happy employees/servers make me enjoy their food more. 4 stars because of the many, many food options they have. They not only have pho, but bahn mi as well. When you have family members that prefer different dishes, more choices in the menu is a plus. We can have pho, rice meals or bahn mi. And did I mention that their spareribs are so delectable, so tender and yummy and what about their buttered baguettes? OMG! We had to ask for a second bread for our beef stew, yum! Yes, we will definitely be back and I highly recommend! read more
