If you think all pho is the same, you haven't been to Pho Kitchen. The meats are tender, the noodles are never rubbery, and the fresh spring rolls are overstuffed and flavorful. We eat here 4 times a week--no exaggeration. Easy way to eat healthy and eat out. The ambiance feels a lot more thought-out and intentional than most pho restaurants, and we absolutely love the staff. We always get the P1 with fresh spring rolls, with cooked meat. They're always happy to make accommodations. read more

Food is always always delicious, especially the P1 which is my go to. As for the chilly oil on the side ... they won't give it unless you ask for it. Staff is friendly and quick since place goes in waves as far as it's business. The ambience is calm, cool pictures on the wall and big glass windows that allow natural light and people watching g views. Definitely recommend. read more

It was a cold Sunday night at 7pm so I opened the Yelp app and looked up "Pho near me". We thought we were going to a restaurant but realized pretty quickly that this was a small place in a strip mall near our house so we decided to give it a go. Sometimes the best places are right under your nose. We were greeted and sat immediately by what seemed like the father/daughter owners. They had a nice menu with lots to choose from. We ordered the P1 Pho Fillet House Special (Filet Mignon Pho) and P2 Pho Dac Biet Combination Special. They both came very quickly. Very vice portion of protein, noodles and broth. The service was good, they filled our waters and were attentive. They consistently had walk ins with pick up and to go orders. I loved that the dad was singing while he worked. I would recommend this place for sure. read more

Incredibly fresh and high quality. They give you all the proper sauces and ingredients and it feels like they just picked them that day. The service is very friendly and the food comes out fast. This is our go to place. Plenty of room inside and is bigger than it looks from the parking lot. read more

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Great spring rolls, Pho, and service . Will definitely be back.

The food at Phò Kitchen is truly amazing. Their fresh and balanced approach to cooking keeps you wanting more. Salty, sweet crunchy soft spicy cool, every bite is counter balanced with an opposing sensation. I ordered the R3 with BBQ shrimp, and filet Mignon , salad , and egg rolls and rice. i ate the entire plate, the ingredients cooked to perfection. The Phö broth was delicious, and homemade. I also love to generously pile cool sprouts , and fresh Basel on my entree . The fresh sprigs of Basel is the secret that gives Vietnamese food such a unique and delicious flavor. highly recommended p read more

Pho Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

One of the best in San Diego and the service is great! I especially love the spring rolls with peanut sauce!

I'm so relieved to see the reviews about service. I thought was overthinking my experience. The server berated me in front of my family. The attitude and scoff he gave me made me embarrassed at first so I didn't say anything to him out of shock but I should have. I should have demanded the supervisor come by so I can explain how unprofessional the service was. I want les to leave immediately but I let my little boy finish his food first. So infuriated. I work in food service, I would never think to do that to a customer. read more

If i can write a -00 review i will! I have never been to a restraunt and been so disrespected in my life! I walked in and was promised a table for 6, there was none at the time so we settled for two seperate tables as we waited for the promised table to open.. as we got ready to swich over one of the workers (tall guy) refused to give us the table of 6 because he believed we didnt fit! I advised we did fit due to us only being 5 adults and one baby, he then started yelling (OUT LOUD) getting in my face stating he was not going to give me the table even though we had been waiting over 50 minutes because he chose to give it to another family that arriverd after us. We left right awayy!! Poor Management and customer service skills, disgusting human being thinking it's ok to yell at customer that consume at there restraunt, this guy need to be fired!! read more

Cute little spot! Although it was busy, we got seated pretty quickly. The service was fast and they were attentive. We had bbq chicken spring rolls and chicken pho. Everything was good, and if I'm in the neighborhood I would definitely come back read more

Waited a long time to be seated just to end up getting yelled at by the server! Such bad customer service! We left immediately and found a way better spot with very welcoming staff read more

Good food fast service. I had the spring rolls. Very good. My friend had the Chicken Pho. read more

The food is amazing! I personally get the Pho house special and it is muah ! The workers so super sweet and the restaurant is very lively! The service was great and the food comes out very efficiently! I highly recommend! read more

The first time I came here I got the pho #1 filet special and honestly haven't tried anything else here because it's so good! The food comes out in about 5 minutes and is always fresh and hot. read more

This is arguably one of the better places to grab Pho in the area. I personally tend to eat here once every few weeks to satisfy the occasional Pho craving. Offering abundant portuons, friendly service and the broth is to die for. Even though it might seem on the upper side of the price range, I think it's well worth it. Last week I brought a friend who wasn't too keen on that type of food, right after he finished his bowl of beef Pho, he instantly became a fan.. Can't really come up with a better argument than that, right? read more

One of my new favorite pho spots! I ordered the rare steak pho to-go on a cold fall night. The shopping center where it is located in Linda Vista can be a little hectic getting in and out, and there isn't a ton of parking. The order was ready in ~10 minutes and came neatly packaged up. Once we opened everything at home, the soup was still super hot and the rare steak was fresh, good quality, and the broth super flavorful. I will definitely be back! read more

An impromptu visit to Pho Kitchen, and I was pleasantly surprised! I opted for the chicken pho to-go - no fancy pics, but the portion was generous, with ample chicken and noodles. I usually opt for double meat due to portions being small (generally speaking), but since they really dish it out, I managed to turn it into two meals! Flavorful and light broth, chicken was not dried out, reasonable prices, and a fitting wait time. Pho Kitchen has earned a spot on my list of go-to pho restaurants. read more

$10.84 banh mi that just come out after 5 min with few meat and so many picked. Look old soft and not crunchy i said if they sold me the old one? The young guy waiter get mad rude. Never come back again. read more

Pho Kitchen - Woukd you eat this for $10.84 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Pulled into the parking lot and decided to try a new place in this shopping center rather than going to our usual spots for food. Didn't disappoint! The pho broth was surprisingly good. Great experience...will come again. read more

Listen up people. I'm not trying to be a hater, but I'm keeping things real. When I came in here and sat down, it took a good five minutes for the waiter who was on his phone the whole time just to give me a menu to order. It didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted and then I had to wave the other gentleman behind the cash register to come over and take my order. This guy didn't give two shits about the customer at all, he didn't smile, didn't say what would you like to order, didn't say how was your day, didn't say thanks for coming and what would you like to eat, absolutely silent could care less if I was there or not. I thought that was a little odd, and I felt like I was bothering him to order food. Now I did order a large chicken Pho and one order of shrimp spring roll. Now the Pho broth was very good and the chicken was very tender. I asked for only half noodle, but that didn't happen because most Pho places give you way way too much noodle. The shrimp spring rolls were very fresh great in size, and very good along with the peanut sauce was very good. Kind of a sad situation. I would not want to give them my money anymore, so I'm not sure if I will return and if I do, it will probably be takeout as I will never sit in that place again. So I would give this place four stars if the service was better because the food is actually good, but it was such a bad experience I would not want to go back in there again. I hope the owner of the restaurant is reading this review because I wouldn't be happy with employees like that. read more

I don't usually write reviews but my husband and I had such a bad experience with the rudest server ever. We came in the restaurant around 7pm today. The server, in his 40s probably (he works with a lean looking older man), approached our table and just looked at us not even saying hi/hello - just stared at us rudely with his eyebrows questioning us, so we just gave him our orders. The food was good, but we totally lost our appetite because of this guy's attitude. When we were done, we asked for a to go container for my soup. He just rudely yelled out "go ask at the counter!". I think it was blatant racism to his fellow Asians and non-white customers because when two white men came in, he was super nice to them even calling them "sir" and his tone was very sweet, it was so cringey. I was observing the way he treated the others and he was very consistent with his racist behavior. My husband and I were very polite to him and we thanked him every time he puts food on our table, so I don't know why he was being rude the whole time. It's a shame because our office is so near here, but we'll never come back. Zero stars. read more

BROTH AND FILET MIGNON You eat Pho when 1) sick 2) cold 3) hungover 4) all of the above The handful of times that I've came here have been between 1 and 2, mostly 1. What is there not to love about a steamy bowl of noodles and meat?! Still searching for my go-to Pho in San Diego, although this place is not as authentic I do love the broth and the filet mignon... "P1". FILET MIGNON PHO ($8.99) - I always order with fat noodles!!! Their noodles are freshly made and the texture is great - not too hard not too soggy. The filet mignon is SO TENDER it can be cooking in the broth for awhile and never gets tough. Fat noodles, tender meat, and flavorful broth! The broth is so flavorful I do not have to add that much extras (vegetables and sauce). Usually it's challenging for me to finish a bowl of pho and although their portion is fair I am able to consume it all to the last slurped noodle. I don't order anything else. I just come here for P1!!! Until the next review.... read more

Pho Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I love their broth! So clean and very aromatic. The filet mignon meats always red and fresh! I also love that they have two options of noodles, thin or fat noodles. When I ate pho in vietnam, they always used the fat noodles! So I'm happy this place serves it here! Service is always good. Food is consistent but I have not been here when it is super busy so I can't say how the rush hours are like. I am a picky eater and sure love my condiments! They never forget! read more

Pho Kitchen - Filet mignon pho! With pickled onions! Yummy - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

This place has good Vietnamese food. We just recently move to neighborhood and we are so happy to find this place. First of all, all of the staff are nice and friendly. The place is clean with good art decoration Food is good. I got broken rice with meat, meatloaf. The BBQ meat is really good and flavorful. The meatloaf is also good. The meatloaf is moist and not dry. I really love this. Pho is alo good. My husband got the special pho and he loves it. The broth is good. read more

Been here before and I wasn't impressed. I thought it was expensive for a Vietnamese place. But after a year, it seems that they got their act together. Food and service are on point. Get the R3. 3 proteins to choose over vermicelli noodles. The BBQ pork was delicious. The quality is superb. The presentation was good. Venue is clean and has a modern feel. And it's good value. I tried the meatloaf and it's eggy in flavor. Not the best in taste but I have more courage to try it since it looked decent. I don't dare to try it at other Vietnamese restaurants since they look disgusting - to me it's Vietnamese spam - unknown meat. No banh mi sandwich. We live in mission valley and we'd go to Pho Cali since it is close. What were we thinking! In the future, we'll start going to this place. Our male server is friendly and was checking on us several times. read more

One of the best pho places I've ever eaten at, and pho is my favorite food so this is a monumental endorsement. I ordered P1 with added tendon. The filet mignon was so tender and fresh, the tendon was sliced thin, and the broth was so flavorful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

It's almost SOUP SEASON people! The air is getting crisp & your co-workers are sneezing on you.. You know what that means... Time to get a GREAT pho restaurant on speed dial! Pho Kitchen has come through for me several times now with a fresh & FANTASTIC menu! The ingredients are so healthy with great quality meats in the soup & decent prices. They have reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere in the restaurant and ample parking outside or you can do what I often do and just have Postmates bring it to you so you can stay in your pajamas and watch Netflix. I recommend the Chicken pho and the friend vegetarian spring rolls. Dunk them! Mmmmm.... read more

The server was being super inpatient with us. So we got appetizers while I figured out what soup I wanted. I was taking another look to get boba and the server barked at me to let go of the menu in a really rude way. We were super nice and I thanked him when he dropped the food off. Another non-asian group came in with us at the same time, but the staff were just staring us down for extended periods of time. We were just eating our food, being quiet and keeping to ourselves. When it came time to pay, the guy asked for a tip and my person put 0. We always pay 15% at least, 20% for great service. Absolutely would not come here again. Soup lacked depth. Was not worth being treated like a mutt. Been to other places and they don't ever act even remotely like what we experienced. read more

Waiter was picking his nose, while other waiter was constantly coughing without covering his mouth. No thank you!!!

Horrible service and mid food. I knew I shouldn't have ate here but my husband recommended it, they are horrible to their customers and will rush you. Broth tasted like dog water this is what happens when I try to eat at other restaurants from being spoiled from my families read more

Place always has a nice ambiance, and the service is always good. The food is always delicious and the Pho is tastful.

Food is great price is even greater! So close from my home and the food never disappoints! Highly recommend their eggroll :)

our go to option when in the morena/mission valley area for pho! they have all the standard dishes and service is always on point. it is a smaller restaurant but have not had to wait ever to get seated. Most recently visited this after a quick outing to Belmont Park, the marine layer had come in and brought a bit of chill, so warm pho was calling our names. I like this place, specially its consistency, quick efficient ordering, great quick service, water glass always full, and really good portions! the Large is huge, so normally go with the regular size. I would say that a friend said, the large size just has more noodles... anyhoo. Thank you Pho Kitchen for always satisfying our pho cravings when in the area! read more

We were looking for a place to eat after going to SeaWorld before heading to the airport, and this place was right in between! After a long day at SeaWorld, having a nice warm bowl of pho really hit the spot! I ordered the tripe and beefball pho with wide noodles. My bf ordered the filet mignon pho with wide noodles as well. The food came out very quickly and it stayed very warm in the stone bowl while we were eating it. The filet had a nice texture and was not rough or chewy which was nice. the beef balls were very flavorful and soft as well - very tasty! They provided a lot of tripe in my bowl, but it was very rough so I didn't enjoy it very much. Overall, the service was pretty good and there is a parking lot too, so we will probably come again if we are in the area next time. read more

Horrible service! My order took over 20 minutes while other tables came after me already got their food. I asked the server guy in white t-shirt and beige pants if he forgot to put my order in and he just replied "I dont think so" and walked away. He even had a face when taking my order. Okay you need to learn how to talk to your customer. SO RUDE! read more

Terrible service. Typical entitled old Asian mentality. No decency to even be nice. Will argue with you even when they made a mistake. Would have over looked their rude behavior if their food was descent but to describe their pho is like eating a hot bowl of water with slimy noodles. Bland and uninspiring, which would make even the most hungriest person feel more emptier than before. Their decor is decent but with the terrible service, it would be like polishing a turd or putting lipstick on a pig. I would not recommend this spot to even my worst enemy. read more

The vermicelli combo is sooo delicious. The BBQ pork and meat loaf (cha) are really tasty. We also ordered A3 - Bi cuon and it is delicious too. Did not try their Pho but will check it out next time we are in town. The food came out pretty fast. Highly recommend to everyone! read more
