    Inside

    This is my favorite Pho restaurant in CV! The service is amazingly quick. I usually order spring rolls and rare steak pho. Never disappointed! The only thing I would say is language barrier may be difficult with staff/servers, but usually not an issue. It isn't the best decorated but it doesn't take away from the meal.

    Vietnamese egg rolls
    Rebecca J.

    We stumbled across this place after another not to be mentioned restaurant said 30 min wait... The service was quick we were seated as soon as we walked in, when the food came out was really hot just the way I like my pho and egg rolls and tea. They do wait around to see if you need anything or a water refill and almost seem eager for you to be done to quickly pick up your plate once done. Went close to closing so there were not a lot of people and was a quiet dinner ambiance. There was a random guy with a single drum that came in to play and sing for tips; super random but 1 song and he was out. But you do pay up front when you're done we waited around for check until we realized just pay up front. Overall ok experience..

    The broth here is scrumptious. The previous pho I had was Pho Bo, and I like this at least as much as that one. Maybe even more. Professor Google AI does say that authentic pho broth should be clear, so there are people that would consider the broth here "dirty." But I am by no means a pho broth purist, so when I see the little flakes of ambiguous bone marrow, I see umami is what I see. Aside from that, I do see a couple indications that they are trying to cut cost a tad. For example, the veg plate only has a single slice of jalapeño while I feel most other joints would have several. That's not a huge deal as I usually just put one in. However, they are a tad meager on the basil as well, which is bad as I always put in all my basil.

    Pho with Tripe I didn't request
    Eid F.

    They added Tripe to my order, as soon as it hit the table I seen the mistake and asked them to change it. About 2 minutes later a new bowl of pho magically appeared... red flag l was missed... wow they were quick is all I thought... then about 5 minutes later a tasted something funny... they never gave me a new bowl... instead they just removed the larger pieces of tripe on the surface and served me the same dish. There were a bunch of smaller pieces of tripe under the noodles (see picture). At the register they were selling hardware tools (pliers, carpenter knives, screwdrivers, etc). Positive, the place was very clean. I try to give small, family-owned businesses the benefit of the doubt but too many red flags in this one. I pass and won't be back. A lot of other family owned Pho places to support instead.

    If you are not white save your time and don't come here. They didn't check on us once. The service sucks... news flash. There are people who are mixed with Vietnamese... they were talking so disgusting about me and laughing.... My mom makes better at home anyways. A waste of my money and my pride. I'm so disappointed in these people.

    Fillet mignon pho
    Tania T.

    We stopped by here for some PHO after a day out at Las Americas Outlet. We wanted something hot with soup, and PHO was it! We ordered the fried egg rolls and two large pho bowls, one with filet mignon and one with a combination pho. The egg rolls came first, piping hot, filled adequately with all the amazing stuffings, and came with dipping sauce and a side of greens. Then the large bowls of Pho followed suit, not too long after. The broth was clean, refreshing, and very delicious! They were very generous with the proteins and the noodles, too! We were so glad to stop by and try out this Pho place. The service was decent; the waitstaff was very direct but polite, and they came by at least once to refill our waters. The ambiance is very casual, and I love the bright lights and spacious restaurant. While you order when you sit down at the table, when you are ready to settle the bill, you'd have to get up to the cashier at the back of the restaurant. This place offers excellent food, and I recommend it if you're in the area and craving Pho.

    #46 Broken Rice with BBQ Pork
    Henry J.

    Delicious food and top-notch service! I ordered the #46 broken rice with BBQ pork, and it was fantastic--the pork dipped in the sauce was bursting with flavor! But first, I spotted a mango smoothie on the menu, and it was absolutely divine, with fresh mango bits that took me right back to Thailand. Highly recommend for amazing service, perfectly cooked food, and that incredible mango smoothie!

    This pho hit the spot .

    First time coming here The beef pho is just so delicious I spot by as I was going to go sit at the park and have lunch.

    Fresh spring rolls and beef banh mi
    Emily P.

    It's been a while since I've been here but it won't be long before I return. Came here on a frigid Friday night because my kids were craving pho. So glad we came here rather a different place on the same street. Got parking right away and when we weren't even in the door yet, there was already someone there to show us to our seat. Their service is 5 stars on its own. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and inviting. My daughter was checking out the fish tank and even that was clean and spacious. As soon as we sat down, we got menus right away. We ordered chicken pho for my picky daughter, beef pho for hubby, beef stew with bread for my adventurous daughter, and I had the fresh spring rolls and a beef banh mi. The food came out so fast, we were shocked. Holy cow! So good on a cold night. Everyone finished their food. The cashier even asked us if we needed to-go boxes and we said no because we left nothing on the table. Everything was fresh and tasty. Condiments and every utensil imaginable was already on the table. You can really tell how good a place is when their bread is crispy and light when you bite into it. So fresh. We'll definitely stick to this place for pho from now on. Thank you Pho Hung Cali!

    It a cold Saturday morning and you have a craving for some delicious, flavorful and piping hot PHO well this place for me hit that spot. Food piping hot flavorful and a nice amount of protein I'm little skeptical on the filet mignon it was more like regular steak but never the less the flavor and customer service was awesome Pho filet mignon two thumbs up Wrapped shrimp appetizer two thumbs up Service fast and friendly and on point. All in all great experience Garcia family approved.

    Rare steak and meat ball
    Allison C.

    My go to spot in Chula Vista. I like to get their pho special and add meatball. I also like Vietnamese fried eggrolls and wrap it in lettuce then dip in the fish sauce. Located right off broadway with its on private parking lot. Fast, friendly service. My water cup was refilled without me asking. That's always a plus.

    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.
