    Family and I usually come here when we crave pho, and it never disappoints! The food hits each time, service is quick, and the place itself is spacious enough for it to not feel too overwhelming. Considering the amount of families who come in too, a bigger venue is always a plus! Portions are great for the price, we always leave with leftovers lol. Oh and plenty of free parking around too.

    After trying to go to another spot across the street, we went to our second option, Pho Lucky lol! Inside is spacious and theres plenty of seating. The interior actually feels kind've fancy. After being seated right away, we had to call over the employee to take our order! The pho was delicious, simple and hit the spot after a long night out before. Portion was good as well for the Pho Filet Mignon. I would say that's great for large groups and families. If you enjoy trying new pho places you need to give it a try!

    I was in Mira Mesa on Sunday morning and decided to stop by Pho Lucky for the first time. When I arrived I was greeted by a friendly staff person who let me sit at a booth. Pros: -they have oxtail pho! -friendly staff -there is a good amount of seating -it's a nice looking restaurant but it felt casual and comfortable which I love -parking was no issue for me in their shared parking lot Cons: -n/a

    Fist time here since I was looking for Vietnamese food. Ordered Bun Rieu and Bun Chao Tom. The bun rieu didn't have the umpth I was looking for; the meat didn't taste like crab meat; didn't really like the flavor. The bun chao tom was "clean" but the shrimp didn't taste like shrimp - tasted more like shrimp and flour. It lacks flavor as well. It was decent but not something I would like to rave about. Not sure I'll ever return because the flavors were completely different (as in unpacked flavor).

    My wife wasn't feeling well and needed some Vietnamese medicine. I got her 2 orders of large N1 Pho, 2 orders of 6 egg rolls and vermicelli with BBQ shrimp for me. Ordered to go at the counter. The service was friendly and efficient. Paid with credit card. The lady told me the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. So I went to Lucky Seafood Grocery to see if there was anything interesting. My order was ready upon my return and they helped me pack it in my cooler. Great casual ambiance. The food is great too.

    This was the first place I ever tried Pho. It was absolutely delicious a few years ago when I had it. I came back this week to see if it held its standards and it did. The broth is so flavorful and they are not skimpy with the meat. I ordered the brisket and meatballs and my husband ordered brisket, steak, and tendon. We also really like the spring rolls from here. They're very fresh! Can't wait to come back! (Only "markdown" would be the women's bathroom. Both times I've gone the bathroom has been unusable. Not worth taking down a star).

    The restaurant is right next to a Vietnamese supermarket, and parking is super convenient. There are plenty of seats, so there's no need to wait. The interior is beautiful and very clean. As soon as we walked in, four staff members quickly attended to us--pouring water and handing us menus--super fast service! We ordered four bowls of Vietnamese pho, which were extremely good value and absolutely delicious. Pho lovers definitely shouldn't miss this place. I especially recommend the pho with pork trotters--it's loaded with ingredients and tastes amazing. One bowl is super filling. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Fried spring rolls

    Best broth I have had in San Diego thus far. Yummy rice dishes which are huge servings, so much protein! Great staff Yummy fried spring rolls. Will be back!

    Pho S1. PH FILET MIGNON
    Jerry H.

    This place is good and deserves a 3.5 stars out of 5. The restaurant is next to lucky seafood store. Although it took a minute or two to be seated, the service was good. The pho was very delicious and had good flavor but it just a bit too oily for me. The spring rolls were tasty but the bbq beef rolls were fantastic. The restaurant is clean, bright, and plain.

    Chicken Pho
    Mike G.

    Amazing Chicken Pho!! One of the best I have had. Service was great, they were very welcoming, attentive and very friendly. Ambiance is just your casual family restaurant with Christmas music playing in the background. Also ordered the tofu spring rolls which were really good. Definitely don't pass this place up if you are in need for pho, the broth is very good and meat isn't dry.

    Pho 3 Choice combo
    Pam A.

    Fast service and always hot and always so good! Lots to choose from but my go to is the you-choose-3-combo, brisket, rare beef and meatball combo or short rib. If you feel under the weather, the fermented salted lemon drink will kick that sick out of you.

    Mariam R.

    This was literally the worst pho I've ever had in my life. Completely bland -- the broth had no taste at all, like everything was just tossed into hot water and sent to the table. They even forgot one of our plates, and when I reminded them, I honestly wish they never brought it out. We tried both the brisket and chicken pho, and they were equally horrible. The chicken, especially, tasted like dirty socks. Overall, a terrible experience.

    R8. CM TM CHOICE/BROKEN RICE WITH 3 CHOICES OF TOPPINGS(PICK. I picked marinate pork, pork chop, and chicken.
    Thong V.

    Delicious foods and fast services. Prices are a little lower than other restaurants for the similar foods. The staffs are usually friendly and polite. Item N1 pho large special , R1 broken rice special, R8 broken rice with 3 options, v1 noodles special, and S5 hu tieu my tho with soup are delicious.

Literally my favorite off the menu, but decided to try something new. I got the pina cold brew that had Yuzu, Pineapple and coconut cold foam. Interesting combo with so many flavors that test your taste buds. If you're looking for a nice summer drink, I suggest trying this one out. Another drink i got was the Vanilla with banana cold foam with toffee. The banana cold foam literally taste like a frozen banana, crazy right? Cold foam is perfect right amount of sweetness with that strong banana flavor. Place can be packed over the weekend, so arrive early or expect a little wait, but generally it moves fast.

While I waited for my order, I went next-door to See's candy. I was craving fudge. I returned about 2 to 3 minutes after my order and my order was ready. The service was great...

The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

They don't have a lot of seating inside the cafe, but there are lots of tables and chairs outside at the plaza area. We were incredibly happy and super impressed with every single thing we got--from the drinks, to the desserts, to the famous halo-halo. Everything was delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor; none of them were overly sweet or bland. Here's everything we tried: ORIGINAL HALO-HALO: 9/10 This one was the more traditional version, having the brown sugar milk base with ube ice cream on top. It was really good, a little more on the sweet side. But I just loved and preferred the upside down version more. UPSIDE DOWN HALO-HALO: 10/10 This one had the ube base with vanilla ice cream on top. I loved this one so much more than the original. I really liked how the ube flavor stood out. I just think this one was more balanced compared to the original. UBE MATCH LATTE: 9.5/10 I love that the ube flavor was prominent enough here that you can really taste it with the matcha. None of the two overpowered the other--it was the perfect balance. It wasn't too sweet either. I also appreciate that they did not charge an additional fee for any of their milk substitutes. UBE BUTTER BAR: 9/10 This dessert tastes *so much* like the ube halaya we have and LOVE in the Philippines. Ultimate *chef's kiss*! UBE CRACK CHEESECAKE: 9.5/10 Creamy and luscious with a really good amount of ube flavor! Would gladly have another piece of this dessert, or five. UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE: 7/10 I had high hopes for this one, but the leche flan on top was not as soft and bouncy as a leche flan should be. I found it a bit dry, like it was sitting out for way too long. The cupcake was okay--good ube flavor, but a bit dense and dry too. MILO CUPCAKE: 9.5/10 This one was really good--the cupcake was moist and fluffy with a great amount of chocolate flavor. I think the Milo was only in the icing, but I only got a slight hint of it there. Still very very tasty though! Overall, this was by far the best and most Filipino-tasting ube I've ever had here in the US--and we've had a lot of ube here. Will definitely be back!

I stopped by because it's super close to the freeway and I just wanted a quick drink before heading back south. Sunday around 4:30 the music was good, the place was clean, and the workers were friendly. There's a lot of seating inside and outside, plus board games if you want to hang out or study. Ordering was easy with the kiosk too. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and asked for less sugar and less ice. The drink came out pretty fast and the cup design was actually cute and different from what I remember. I didn't try it until I was already back on the freeway and the first sip was honestly confusing. The jasmine flavor was super faint and watered down, but then it tasted sour. Like really sour. Not in a tea way, more like something went bad. It genuinely tasted off. I couldn't even finish it. I took maybe three sips and threw the whole thing away, which sucked because I was already driving and couldn't go back. That's the main issue. With how many boba places are in Mira Mesa, you can't be serving drinks like that. If it was just bland that's one thing, but tasting sour like that feels like a bigger problem. It honestly made me question the quality. I'd skip this spot for now. There are way better and more consistent options nearby.
