    Thank you to all the family who made this food happen for me and my lady! Wonderful ambiance filled with cultural art and the service is great! Very homely place and the food is made with care thank you so much family!

    Shrimp spring rolls
    Editha Q.

    How does this place even have 3.5 stars? I walked in and it was a mess. Didn't smell that great either. The guy at the counter was very nice though. My spring rolls were not great but I ate them because I paid for them. The wrap was gooey and the veggies inside were not fresh. The peanut sauce consistency was not good. It looked like someone put water and peanuts in a blender. I will not be back.

    This was a small Vietnamese restaurant in the Midway Plaza of the Point Loma neighborhood. I stopped here after running some nearby errands knowing they were not going to be busy. Parking spaces in the plaza were plentiful during my late evening visit. Only one customer was seated among the tables that could hold around 40 people. The menu didn't seem as extensive as other pho spots, but it was a mom-and-pop operation. Appetizers, banh mi sandwiches (only four varieties), pho, rice dishes, vermicelli noodles, beverages, and desserts made up the categories. My choice was the vermicelli with grilled beef (bún bò nướng). The bowl of rice noodles contained shredded lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mint herbs, pickled carrots and daikon, and roasted peanuts. A cup of vinaigrette fish sauce (nước mắm) was provided on the side. Upon first glance, all of the green veggies were buried on the bottom of the vessel. Only the peanuts and pickled carrots and daikon were visible on top with the beef and noodles. The flavors didn't stand out while the portion for the price was a bit undersized. I didn't leave Pho Little Saigon still feeling hungry, however I think there are better choices for this style of cuisine within a couple of miles of this place.

    Shirmp spring rolls, egg rolls and Bun Pork, shrimp, and egg rolls to-go! Delicious
    Venus V.

    Called in my order and it was easy. Ordered my favorite egg rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and combo Bun pork, shrimp and egg rolls to-go! Can't wait to eat this. Also, the boxes on the side is for to-go orders incase people are wondering and judging. They're a little "hole in the wall" but the best/authentic places are not perfect aesthetically but the food is sooo good you wouldn't care! It's quiet and there's parking but sometimes is taken over by the gym people so I park on the street to pick up my food.

    Another Pho shop nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we ended up checking out Pho Little Saigon. This mom and pop shop is tucked away in a small shopping plaza on Midway Drive and can be hard to miss. The restaurant is tiny with less than 10 tables. As you make your way to the bathroom you'll get to pass by the kitchen and what seems like prep/storage. It might look like a mess but growing up Vietnamese. This is how exactly my house would look like. I was craving Bo Luc Luc (shaken beef) and glad to say this did not disappoint. Their fried rice was exactly how I like it, with just scrambled egg and green onion. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and garnished with fresh herbs. The portion was just right and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. My boyfriend got the banh mi and he said it wasn't the best he had but still pretty good. The service was fast and friendly as we ordered, ate, and paid for our food all within 30 minutes. I'm glad we took this detour and tried a new Vietnamese spot here in Point Loma. I definitely want to come back for their Pho.

    the interior of a restaurant

    This is a small restaurant that's run by a husband and wife. The husband was super nice and service was really quick. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, a large special and a small rare steak, tendon, and tripe. The pho broth lacked the beef bone flavor and the rare steak was not even rare. I would give it 2 stars at most. I had to use the restroom before we left and found it unsanitary that I had to walk past the kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. There was food being prepped on either side of me, exposed. They should have some sort of dividing partition. If I used the restroom before eating, I would have probably opted to go elsewhere. I really wanted to award 3 stars because the owner was extremely nice, but his wife's pho was pretty bad and the kitchen was unsanitary.

    Amazing food and staff was so sweet. I would highly recommend eating here. Food came out hot and fresh and pricing was very reasonable!

    Chicken vermicelli bowl
    Samantha W.

    My husbands chicken vermicelli bowl was not good. The chicken was so dry and hard. I tried eating a piece and it was hard to bite through...it was that over cooked. My steak pho wasn't the worst. But the broth was pretty oily which I didn't like. My noodles were also slightly over cooked and kind of mushy. While sitting in the restaurant we noticed this place appeared to be needing a good overall deep clean. The curtains hanging by the entrance door have very visible stains on them. The hand sanitizer bottles on the table looked dirty like as if people had sauce on their hands and used it many times over a long period of time and the sauce and grime built up and dried on the bottle. There was also some noisy banging/scraping sound nearly the entire time we dined there. It sounded like maybe someone was trying to use force to scrape a metal hood fan or something? The only time the banging/scraping sound wasn't happening was when the person working was out in the dining area taking orders, serving food, ringing up customers.

    1.50 extra
    Jacqueline F.

    Pho was delicious! We didn't have to add a thing broth was on point...vermicelli wasn't that good I didn't enjoy the egg rolls. I wish they wouldn't if charged 1.50 for veggies but it's ok wont order this next time.

We phoned in before driving there and they answered all our concerns and questions. The staff were all very friendly, very accommodating, and the place was organized and decorated.

The only thing to keep in mind is that parking is a bit limited, and was a bit busy and not as easy to get into--also, the restaurant has you order up front and they'll bring you the food to your table.

Fiancee got the fried soft shell crab, which was delicately prepared and served with a sweet and savory oyster sauce-esque topping. Neither of us had ever seen Vietnamese rice infused with fish roe before, but this dish was served with it and fiancee thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

The restaurant is very trendy and a perfect spot for a date or intimate dinner with a small party. For appetizer we ordered house-made baguette and French butter, duck liver pate, and kanpachi crudo. The baguette with the French butter was so fresh and tasty. It was hard to stop eating it. The pate was also delicious and the kanpachi crudo was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We also ordered the crispy chicken wings, house made egg noodles and smoked dry aged duck for entrees to share. The winds were very flavorful and the sauces that came with it were a great pairing. The noodles the smoked duck was a great size for sharing and came with lots of veggies and sides. The duck was perfectly cooked and delicious. The noodles were yummy but were outshined by the rest of the dishes. We ordered the pickled papaya and marinated cucumbers for sides. In hindsight we definitely had too much food and probably didn't need the sides but both were great compliments to the other dishes. For cocktails I ordered the nuoc mami but ended up preferring the water buffalo. Both were good but I did really enjoy the clarified pho reduction in the water buffalo. Service was friendly and attentive. They packaged up our menu nicely as we were celebrating birthdays. Overall I had a great first time at Kingfisher and would definitely recommend a try.
