Pho Kha - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - National City, California

I was really hoping Pho Kha would become our new favorite pho spot in the area, but unfortunately we left pretty disappointed. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated, but the food just did not meet expectations. I ordered the oxtail pho. The broth itself was light, clean, and actually had good flavor on its own. My issue was with the oxtail. I understand they probably keep it refrigerated before serving, but it did not seem reheated properly. Even though the broth was boiling hot, and I spent a few minutes on a phone call before eating, the meat toward the center was still cool. Not ice cold, but definitely not properly hot either. Eventually it just became room temperature in the soup, which honestly made me uneasy. I also ordered the spicy fried chicken because I had read so many reviews saying it was amazing and the best fried chicken they had. Parts of the outside had an okay crunch, but the chicken itself was extremely bland inside, almost like it was never marinated or seasoned. The dipping sauce honestly carried the whole dish. Maybe I came on an off day, because I really wanted to enjoy this place, but overall it was just disappointing. read more

Yes this place deserves 5 stars+! The food is very fresh, menu offers wide variety of dishes, The spring rolls with homemade peanut sauce hit the spot. The best part are the people, owners, family and staff, all are very kind and attentive! We will be back Caesar and Natalie are the two unnamed smiles in photo read more

Pho was very good. The broth was light and not greasy. The tendon was melt in your mouth tender. A regular size was very filling and the large looks like a competition contest size. The wings were nice, hot and crispy but the flavor was missing something. Maybe marinating? Msg? They accept credit cards and cash. read more

By my count, this is the fifth pho place in San Diego I've visited since I moved back here in November. This one is my favorite so far. Naturally, the broth is among my favorites. But also, the soup has a lot more green onion than most other places, which I also like. Plus, they have an extra large special that has a giant beef rib. The texture of the rib meat is exquisite. It might sound weirdly specific, but I appreciate restaurants that have a special extra large portion of whatever their main specialty is. I don't eat quite as much as I used to when I was younger, but I still find myself ordering two entrees or an entree and other stuff quite often. Like, if a default large is not enough, I have to get a large and fresh rolls or a large and a bahn mi when I'm hungry. But sometimes I don't want a bahn mi, I just want more pho. I like that they have boba tea. Finally, I'm not sensitive to service quality, but I guess I have to admit that service at pho places is somewhat hit or miss. I've been to places where I feel like I'm inconveniencing the owner by walking in. Even on this metric, this joint is pretty good. The owner seems to care and the employees are friendly. I like the big water vase things. read more

Stopped by a pho spot in National City recently. Service was good and the staff were friendly and attentive. The pho itself was above average overall -- good portion size and solid flavor. For my taste, the broth could have been a little hotter temperature-wise, and it leaned slightly on the sweeter side with not as much herbal depth as I usually like in pho. Still enjoyable, just not the most complex broth I've had. I also ordered egg rolls, which tasted good, but they came out after I had already finished my pho, so the timing could have been better. Overall still a good experience with friendly service and decent pho. I'd come back and give it another try! read more

i usually go to the same pho spot but i decided to try this place since the reviews are so good :0! one of my friends got the pho kha special which came with a beef rib and it kinda seemed overcooked and chewy. the pho broth was pretty good though, but i'd say it's too salty for my taste. we also tried the spicy chicken wings since everyone was raving about it in the reviews :o but i'd say it had an off flavor, maybe from the oil they were frying in? other than that, i liked the spice! the egg rolls were delish though and their nuoc mam was delish :p the service was good and friendly, but a bit busy and we ended up getting up to pay at the front. read more

Very disappointed with our experience. We ordered our food and waited for our order to be prepared. We later saw that our two bánh mì sandwiches had been delivered to a table that was seated after us. We observed the customers at that table physically touching the sandwiches before informing staff that they had only ordered one sandwich. Staff then retrieved the extra sandwich and returned it to the kitchen. At that point, I clearly communicated that I did not want to receive a sandwich that had already been handled by another customer. Despite this request, staff later brought out what appeared to be the same sandwich that had been taken back from the other table. Shortly afterward, they brought out another sandwich, and there was a noticeable difference in temperature between the two, which raised further concerns about whether the original sandwich had been re-served. The entire situation felt unsanitary and was handled very poorly. Mistakes happen, but food that has already been in another customer's possession should never be considered for service to someone else. To make matters worse, the staff was not friendly or apologetic throughout the interaction and did not want to admit fault. Unfortunately, this experience left us with little confidence in the restaurant's food handling practices. Would not recommend. read more

Ordered to-go lunch shrimp spring rolls and matcha boba with rainbow jelly. I didn't call ahead but they took my to-go order and was ready quickly! That was greatly appreciated because I was limited with time and there were people eating at the restaurant and also could hear more to go orders being placed over the phone. The restaurant has a casual ambiance and I've had their pho here before which is also very good. The peanut sauce was really yummy and they included 3 different chili sauces and that was the best part I love me some spice with my peanut sauce. Yum! read more

I've been to this place a few times now. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare since it's in a very busy business center--the same lot as In-N-Out Burger, Chick-fil-A, and Jersey Mike's. I ordered the vermicelli noodles with chicken and shrimp, a chicken sandwich, Vietnamese coffee, and crispy egg rolls. Everything was delicious. The grilled chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly with great flavor. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The customer service was also awesome--the cashier was very friendly, prompt, and efficient. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

Was craving some pho and came across this gem hidden in a small strip mall in national city. Ordered the chicken pho and a salty lemonade. The pho was hands down the tastiest bowl of chicken soup I've had in my life! There were a generous amount of tender chicken slices and perfectly cooked noodles in the bowl as well. First time in my life that I finished an entire bowl. The salty lemonade was also outstanding with bits of pickled salty lemon pieces in it. Yum! Definitely on my to go again list read more

Food is good but QA needs to be better. I ordered deliver through DoorDash- pho with tendon, brisket and ox tail, bo kho, and banh mi thit nguoi. Pho- the broth is a little oily and salty, but the flavor was good. I ended up scraping the oil off the top and adding water to the broth, so all is good. However, the ox tail was super small and sad looking and the tendon was missing.. what a shame. The oxtail was still very yummy, tender and flavorful despite this. Bo kho - very good, I recommend it. Banh mi thit nguoi- I wouldn't suggest getting the banh mi here. First of all, I ordered thit nguoi but they gave me all cha lua. Maybe they think customers don't know the difference? R they ran out? But these two meats are not the same. There wasn't enough do chua and at some points I just got full bites of pate. Overall- I would suggest trying this place is you like a heavy, flavorful pho that may be a bit oily. Don't get the banh mi. My family is from the north so we prefer to cleaner broth, so it really just comes down to a personal preference. read more

This is my second time coming here. It was still as good as I remembered I was impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The broth is rich and flavorful without being heavy, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the portions are generous--exactly what you want from a great pho spot. The service was incredibly fast, too. I barely had time to sit down before my bowl arrived steaming hot, and the staff was kind, attentive, and efficient the entire time. The atmosphere is cozy warm and welcoming, perfect for a rainy day. But the real star? Their blended Vietnamese coffee. SO good. It's creamy, bold, not overly sweet, and honestly one of the best I've had in San Diego. I'd come back for the coffee alone. read more

By far one of the best Pho places in town! We were seated immediately, there were two other parties dinning when we first arrived. By the time we left every table was taken and the amount of dinning out orders were insane (we saw the pick ups from lol). This is the first pho place I visit that actually serves chicken breast and not a mixture of chicken meat. The vegan wontons surpassed our expectations and tasted amazing, I normally don't tend to care for them but I will definitely be ordering this again. As for the pho's they both tasted great and fresh, not greasy or flavorless. The customer service we received from the minute we walked in to us leaving was 5 stars. This has become our go to pho place to visit. They have early 2000s music playing which is great music for us. For the amount of food we ordered to what we paid, it's perfectly reasonable. We paid under $60 for two phos, extra chicken breast and broth, two drinks, wontons and some chicken rolls. read more

Randomly found this spot when my normal go-to was way too packed. Flavor-wise, everything was good but definitely on the pricier side for a bowl of pho in National city. Service was good, servers were always checking in on us. Overall, because of the price point, I will probably stick to visiting other spots in the area! read more

I enjoy this spot. Pho is good, broth is hot. I just wish they used cilantro and onions as toppers. At this location I've only seen it come with green onions. I usually order brisket pho, which isn't necessarily on the menu, so I always appreciate that they accommodate. I don't always get the rib bone add on here because it's usually on the tougher side, but the brisket meat is delicious and tender. Egg rolls are yummy, always perfectly fried. The chili garlic satay is spicy! Make sure to taste your broth as you're adding/mixing it in because it can get spicy really fast. Establishment is always clean. Parking is never a problem for me as they have tons of spots in front or in the back. read more

Conveniently located in the shopping area by the mile of cars where in n out is, Pho Kha is a hidden gem with amazing food and awesome customer service. I called in an order on Friday and giving my order was like giving an order to my bestie. She was really sweet and patient with me. The guy I had to hang up on the first time I called was super nice as well. I asked them to separate my order from my daughter's order because I was sick and I didn't want to get her and her family sick as well. When I arrived to pay, not only did they separate the orders, but they told me what was in each bag and they double bagged it too! The guy also offered to help me with my order out to my car but when I declined, he still got the door for me. Great customer service!!! Usually the restaurant is SUPER packed and there's lots of people waiting in line. Been there while it was busy but the customer service was never lacking. Now the food!!! Ok so I didn't have the time to go over everything I got, I was sick and hungry, but there pho is in my top 3 and I don't usually like eating pho. Drinks were amazing and overall a great experience as always. Definitely my go to spot for pho. read more

This place is good but a bit expensive for your typical Pho spot. The broth was very flavorful. Not MSG flavor but a deep beefy flavor that was very enjoyable. It wasn't too salty. They charge extra (I think $4 but I don't remember exactly) to exchange rice noodles with egg noodles. Personally I thought that was a bit expensive. They were a little stingy on the proteins though, as you can see from the pictures. Beef spring rolls were delicious! I would probably come back, but only if I absolutely did not want to drive further than 5 minutes from my house. read more

This place is sooo good. In all aspects! The service is great, the food is always consistently good, and the space is always clean. Everything there is sooo good and generous, especially when times are hard. You'll always leave full and satisfied. Even if you get the banh mi, they make sure that sandwich is packed; chicken flavorful and not dry, huge jalapeño/cucumber slices/cilantro, and carrot and daikon. So good! When you walk into the restaurant, it smells like broth. The broth is so good, that when I was sick, I'd drive over there just to order broth sometimes. The owners are so sweet. They always talk to the customers and if you really did have a concern, I've witnessed them trying to make up for it. They're FORREAL humble people that just want to do right by their food! It can get pretty busy during their rush hours, but their take outs are just as good. read more

As I walked in, the loud pop music was enough to have me leave. Upon receiving the carafe of water with the tin cup, I considered staying. Once I received my piping hot bowl of pho, the sound of the food grew louder, and the noise died down. The broth at Pho Kha is full of flavor that needs no additional condiments. The chili oil enhanced the broth, and the jalapeño slices were pleasantly mild and crisp. I'm not quite sure what the red salsa was, but I used that in place of Sriracha. My server was very polite, and the people behind the counter gaves smiles each time they made eye contact with me. Good service, good food, and a very clean restaurant. read more

Our normal pho location in National City was pretty busy so we decided to stop by Pho Kha. Upon arrival we got seated right away and the server was super friendly and nice. They made a table for us right away and gave us water. We looked at the menu and order the chicken and rice plate, well done beef pho, rare beef pho, pork spring roll, chicken wings, and a side of bread. The pho was delicious, the broth kind of reminded me of PHOnimenial. It's sweeter than other pho places I have tried which I enjoy. The pork spring roll was delicious! I would get that instead of regular spring roll, it's a nice twist. The chicken was delicious and crunchy. It was not overly salty and the crisp was the topper for me! The chicken and rice was good as well, it is def on the sweeter side as well. Glad I stopped by here to grab dinner, it was worth it! Super small area with great vibes and great customer service. Will be coming back again! read more

Came to this place based on recommendations. The broth was a bit too sweet for me. The fried chicken was delicious. Loved the batter. We got the half and half original and spicy.

I got a veg pho noodle soup with chicken broth. Fresh and great tasty soup. Should come and try.

Will travel for good Pho!! I love Pho, and Pho Kha did not disappoint. Customer Service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered my go to which is rare steak pho and a order of spring rolls with fish sauce. The pho broth was very flavorful, a tad bit sweet but good bone taste. My only complaint was they do not serve a lot of veggies compared to other pho places. My server was very nice to bring me more sprouts, Thai basil etc. The spring rolls I would pass on. I didn't really like how rubbery the rice paper was when biting into it, and the fish sauce wasn't it for me. It needed more tang or something. I love the added touch of the water carafe and metal cups. If I'm in the area again I would try Pho Kha again and try some other dishes. read more
