    Glad to have a good and authentic Vietnamese cuisine in this area with reasonable prices. My favorite is the plate with all the proteins like chicken, beef, pork and shrimp plus eggrolls. I also love the flavor of their Pho and be able to choose on what type of protein. This is my bi weekly go to place. The owner and the servers are always fast and friendly.

    Egg Rolls
    Ashley D.

    My son and I were looking for somewhere to have a quiet birthday dinner. Pho is one of my son's favorite meals. I had bookmarked this spot a while back and decided to try it out. My son and I were seated quickly and brought menus. There were two men in the front waiting on tables, an older man maybe in his 60's and a younger, maybe in his 40's. The man in his 40's sneezed into his hands and then came to take our order, did not wash his hands or even use sanitizer, honestly we should have left then. I ordered a half order of egg rolls. My son and I both ordered our pho. I ordered mine with brisket, flank, and steak. My son didn't want meat so he ordered just noodles. The egg rolls were brought out quickly and they were very hot. I started to eat them and the man in his 40's kept staring at me. I'd brushed it off, but he didn't stop. Our Pho was delivered shortly after. My son and I both started eating and the same man came back to the table. He looked at my son and said "you need to eat meat and build muscles, your mom doesn't need to eat meat". I was taken aback by what he'd said. He then walked away. I texted a few people to ask if there was anyway that was not meant rudely. I am plus size, I know that. I don't need people telling me if I should have meat or not. It was agreed that there was no way he was being nice. I was not in the mood to eat and wanted to leave. My son went and asked for a bowl to take my food home. A few minutes later than man brought the check. I told him, his comment was quite rude and he literally laughed at me and walked away with my card. I have never been so embarrassed and treated so rudely in a restaurant. I got my card back and we left. It was by far the worst birthday meal of my life.

    This was a last minute spot that we decided to go to and it was better than I expected. I got the rice plate with thit nuong (#R1). Service was fine and food came out pretty quick. The corn on the rice was a bit different but a nice surprise. The meat itself was flavorful. The sauce in the salad was nice too. I liked the fish sauce and the soup bowl on the side too. 1 unisex restroom stall and you will need to ask for a key to use it. And there's a large free parking lot infront connected with other restaurants.

    If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food in SD, this is it. Having traveled through Hanoi and Saigon, I can say Pho Kitchen really nails the flavor. The Filet Mignon Pho is a standout, and the egg rolls are perfectly fried. Service is quick, the space is clean, and the food is consistent. A must-visit in Linda Vista!

    Was craving pho so I decided to try this location. I ordered the large which was delicious. Great service as well.

    A decent Vietnamese restaurant with a tasty bun special. It had all the fixings and it's huge so you might not finish it if you're not super hungry. Service was super friendly, the inside was clean and a great place for a work lunch. Food: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 7/10

    We ordered takeout with a few different entries and a couple of appetizers and told us 20 mins for pick up which is reasonable. We ordered the following: Pho Filet House Special - lack flavor in the broth. Bun Bo Hue - decent flavor but you can definitely taste the shrimp paste Binh Mi Bo Kho - probably the better broth but nothing special. Spring Rolls - pretty good and rolls were larger than we expected. Eggs Rolls - nicely fried and flavorful filling. Overall - the appetizers were better than our main dishes.

    Mostly ice, 1/3 of the ice already melted when taking the picture.

    Their coffee drink is a scam, they gave us almost a full cup of ice and a little bit of coffee. 1/3 of the ice already melted when taking this picture.

    Food was awesome. Clean, friendly. We came in late, but we were greeted with a welcoming greeting. The food was deliciously on point. Generous portions. The price was very reasonable Thank you.

    Went to this place with friends, and one of my friends is Vietnamese, so he guided through the menu, even otherwise the menu is easy and simple to order. The place looks like an authentic restaurant, and you can smell good food as you walk inside. The interior decor is maintained well. This is in an area or plaza with a lot of restaurants, mostly quick grab. Parking can be challenging during peak hours. I ordered Rice with chicken and shrimp. It was delicious and filing. The soup was fantastic as well. The sauce or dressing provided was perfect, and I loved it. It is one of the best foods in recent times ! Priced right, too.

    Phuong Trang has been a San Diego staple for decades. It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

    Phuong Trang is still a Vietnamese staple on Convoy. It used to be THE place for pho but now there…read moreis alot more competition. I came for lunch with my family on Friday at 1pm. Tons of parking, no wait and restaurant was only hlaf filled. Promptly seated and waiters are still aggressive about getting your order and then forgetting about you until you ready to leave. Food wasn't quite as good as I remember. We had fresh spring rolls, beef stir fry noodle dish, large pho, egg roll and grilled pork bun and wonton noodle soup. Main entrees were all about $17 and decent portion. I like Chinese style wonton noodles and beef stir fry noodles better--I feel Vietnamese style can be a bit sweet.

The kitchen clearly knows how to prepare quality dishes, and the food is the reason I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of less. That said, I deducted one star because of the location and overall environment. I chose Kingfisher because I was looking forward to Vietnamese cuisine, but when I arrived, my first impression was disappointing. Right by the entrance there was a strong urine smell, and because the restaurant has an open-air layout, it affected the dining experience. I also found myself concerned about the surrounding neighborhood and the overall setting. For me, a great restaurant is about more than just the food--it's also about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying the atmosphere. Even if a restaurant serves amazing food, the experience isn't complete if the location makes guests feel uneasy. I understand that Kingfisher has earned Michelin recognition, and the quality of the food certainly shows why. However, I hope the overall dining environment can improve because the talented kitchen deserves a setting that matches the excellent dishes they serve. I would gladly return if this establishment were located in a cleaner, more welcoming area without the homeless encampments nearby.
