Great food especially the pho nom and great service, thank you Danny and Leyna! Always ask for the tamarin wings unless they're sold out

The back bone rib pho was super tasty! We also got the Vietnamese egg coffee and green Thai tea, which were great as well. Jason was our server, and he did a great job. read more

The pho broth was so good, rich, and flavorful! Everything we ordered was delicious. The ambiance was so chill and relaxing, and I loved the music. Leyna, our server, was very nice, friendly, and helpful. She even gave us a discount on our spring rolls because they took a little while to come out, which she absolutely didn't have to do, and we really appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The Vietnamese egg coffee was amazing too! Love that they also own Phin Coffee House near Jollibee in National city. I don't usually leave reviews, but when I do, it's because a place truly stands out! We'll definitely be back! read more

The ambiance is nice. there is enough room for our family. zidane seated is right away. pho comes out with great presentation. the soup is base is flavorful. i like how the menu is limited to pho and a few other dishes. whoch means they're focused on the core menu. great food read more

Came here on a Sunday for a late lunch. We were a party of 2 and were seated right away. Parking is always a pain in that plaza so just be prepared for that. We ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls for appetizer. They were decent though I felt like they could've been rolled a bit tighter. Everything started falling out after the first bite. We each got a bowl of the Pho Nom. It's definitely a huge serving, especially with the two shanks. The meat was very tender and fell right off the bone. For drinks we got the lychee lemonade and the lychee lotus cocktail. Both were surprisingly so good. They taste very similar, just one has alcohol. Overall my first experience here was good. The drinks were tasty and the food was good. Service was quick as well. The pho was definitely on the pricey side though, so not sure I'd come back as there are so many other affordable but still tasty options out there. read more

My first time here and I was very impressed and surprised with their presentation! Located on Convoy, Pho Nom shares a parking structure with several other restaurants. It will take a bit of time to find parking. Pho Nom is small inside and from what I saw, could seat about 80 people. They were blasting the AC and you could see it because their decor swayed. They had a bunch of fake plants hanging from their ceiling and it was quite pretty. I will say, paying $18-$20 for a bowl of Pho made my little heart hurt. I was hoping it was the best Pho of my life for that price. I ordered their short rib bowl and waited. The server brought it out without soup, and came back with a kettle to pour our soup into. It was a very nice gesture and quite a sight to see your food being cooked right in front of you. The bowls were huge and very nice. I could see where the dollars went. Their broth was decent and flavorful. They put your bowl with green onions and cilantro. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again. You get your bang for your buck! read more

Ambiance, on point. Decor, Vietnam. Service, A1. Leyna poured the broth herself in the pho bowl infront of me. This place is a great photo op. Back drop's backing. Walk in and find yourself in an aesthetically appealing restaurant. Now, you're sat at the table. Menus on a QR code at the corner of the table. The menus user friendly. First thing I noticed was the big beef rib in the "Pho Nom". Secondly, no vermicelli. Ended up with the pho beef with no bone, rice plate, spring rolls, Vietnamese egg coffee and lychee drink. Didn't finish the pho bowl, rice plate came out with "wet" rice. Meat in the pho, thicc with two c's. I asked for a second bowl of rice, came back on point. Shrimps in spring roll were not as crispy as I like. Overall, aesthetically pleasing restaurant. read more

Tried several items: Pho nom pho - loved the beef ribs, inclusion of an egg was nice, broth was solid, however overall it was just ok Broken rice - grilled pork was solid, egg meatloaf ok, overall a solid dish but not outstanding Egg rolls - fresh and crispy, very tasty Chili tamarind wings - good crisp, enjoyed the flavor Service was pretty poor, friendly but quite slow. Overall the dishes were solid but overpriced. Much better Vietnamese food can be found elsewhere. read more

We had a great first experience here for dinner. The space was small but very pretty, with lots of floral decorations. Our servers Danny and Lana were very attentive and efficient. The food was excellent, I had pho with short rib and my husband had pho with backribs. The short rib was tender, and the broth was very flavorful. The back ribs were also very tender, although some parts were a bit tendon-y. I enjoyed the satay sauce, it had an umami flavor. We also tried the lychee lemonade which was good, but mostly tasted like regular lemonade. I would definitely recommend this place for pho! read more

There is only one person working lunch and the service was so slow. She didn't give us our veggies or drink drinks on time and we had to get our own sauces. There should definitely be more than one person working, especially when it's a full house. The short rib pho had chewy pieces of meat in it for the price. I expect very tender meat. There was also no coffee available on a Sunday morning right when they open they said they were sold out. How it possible to be sold out when you just opened? Definitely poor management. The decor was nice, but it's not nice enough to make up for the food read more

After driving into Kearny Mesa craving a good bowl of pho, Yelp led us straight into the chaos that is the Convoy parking lot -- survival alone deserves an appetizer. But once inside Pho Num, the place was such a vibe. Colorful flowers everywhere, cute decor, TVs playing Vietnam street food scenes, and late 90s/early 2000s R&B had me singing before the broth even arrived. Definitely date-night worthy. We ordered the Vietnamese egg coffee (SO good -- get the glass cup for the full aesthetic experience) and the lychee lemonade with free refills. Egg rolls were perfectly crispy and disappeared fast. I got the boneless short rib pho where they dramatically pour the scorching broth over the raw meat tableside -- delicious and honestly even better the next day. Loved that they didn't skimp on the garnishes either. My husband ordered the broken rice which came with a broth soup (be careful, it burnt my tongue-hate that feeling), let's just say asking for a "well done" egg turned it into something resembling a Brillo pad. Sorry Overall, solid 4 stars -- maybe 4.25 if Yelp allowed it. A little pricey ($20 pho hurts a little), menu is limited, and I personally like thicker noodles. But the broth, service, and vibes absolutely brought us back to life. We'll definitely be back. read more

Visit April 20226: This is a cute little restaurant that to me gives a dinner-date vibe. The decor is vibrant with a plethora of colorful faux plants. TV's show walking/riding tours of Vietnam which I actually found interesting as I ate. Service was fairly good. It was a one man show up when visited. Greeter, busboy, waiter, and cashier. It was early dinner time on a Wednesday but the traffic was already building up. Can't imagine what it would be like on a Friday or Saturday night. He was pleasant and did a fantastic job of taking care of the entire front. My wife and I shared their signature "Pho Nom" bowl. It was hearty coming with bone-in rib, sliced short rib, brisket, and a beef ball. The usual accoutrements of pho though they also add their own house satay sauce on the side. Tasty. The serve it and pour broth tableside which was kind of classy. Never had that done at a pho place. However, my wife and I thought the beef rib was a bit tough, and the noodles and broth were both solid though not spectacular where I wanted to 5-star it. We also ordered fresh spring rolls. Those were good. I would say Pho Nom is worth the visit and leave it up to you if it is a return trip place. read more

Finally got to try Pho Nom and I'm really glad I did. The moment you walk in, the space feels super clean and modern with a nice aesthetic. The menu is pretty simple and on the smaller side, which made me a little unsure at first, and I will say there aren't vegetarian options if that's something you need. I ordered the chicken egg rolls and the chicken pho. The egg rolls were crispy and really good, but the pho was the standout. I usually find chicken pho can be a bit plain, but this was actually super flavorful and comforting. The broth had a lot of depth, and the chicken was surprisingly tender and not dry or chewy at all. Service was smooth and everything came out quickly. Overall, it was a really solid experience and I'd definitely come back and recommend it. read more

Came here for dinner based on stellar Yelp reviews, and because we love pho. The restaurant is in probably the busiest plaza on Convoy where parking is always an issue. Tonight, we lucked into front row parking as soon as we pulled in (parking karma!). We made a reservation and came on time, but we're still told to wait outside while they "get our table ready". There was only 1 table that needed clearing, but we still waited 10-15 minutes before being seated. For food, we ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls to share, the short rib pho, and the beef rib with bone pho. The spring roll was good, especially with the sauce. For the pho, the noodle is brought out first, and then hot broth is poured on which is a nice idea - - only if the broth is added shortly after the noodle and meat is brought out. In our case, they ran out of broth after the first bowl, so my beef rib noodle sat there for a good 15 minutes, which not surprisingly dries out the beef bone. By the time I tried eating it, the meat was so tough it was not edible. To make it worse, one of the bones is too big for the bowl, so a portion of it was not soaking in the broth when I did finally get it. The beef bone was obviously cooked before it was brought out, and if I ate it right away it probably would have been okay. But because I had to wait for the broth... I did try the other pho while waiting for my broth, and the broth was flavorful which is important. Aside from the issue with broth, we also had to ask for the accompanying vegetables, whereas everyone else got it before their noodles came out. The restaurant is small with about 8-10 tables. The two servers seemed to be constantly busy, just not much with us (water never refilled). We really wanted to like this place given the glowing reviews, but our experience was lacking. Maybe we will come back and give it another try. read more

This spot is a fantastic find--hip, clean, and beautifully designed. The service was top-notch, with Danny and Leyna making us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. ​Everything we ordered hit the mark: the egg coffee was rich and delicious, the pho broth was impressively deep and flavorful, and the lychee lemonade was perfectly light and sweet. Don't miss the egg rolls--they were fried to a perfect, satisfying crunch. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing food - Pho so good. Drinks are also delicious and tasty , had the Egg Coffee and it was out of this world. For a quick stop this place delivers. Zidane took great care of us! read more

First off, a huge shout-out to Zidane for providing amazing service. The restaurant was a full house and he was the only one working the front, yet he managed to handle all the serving, bussing, cleaning, and take-out orders by himself without skipping a beat. ​The presentation of the pho was really unique; the broth was poured right at the table from a kettle into thick ceramic bowls. This definitely ensured the warmest soup temperature possible from the kitchen to the table, which I appreciated. The original broth had a noticeably sweet, beefy flavor, and once I added the sate, it gave it a really nice garlicky kick. ​While the texture of the meat and noodles was just average, the price of the pho felt a bit high for what it was. However, the overall experience and atmosphere were great. The egg coffee had strong, roasty flavor and paired with the sweet egg cream was phonomenal. Even though the noodles didn't totally blow me away, I would probably come back here just for the coffee or to try their other drinks. read more

Food: Pho Nom (7/10) - good broth and flavor and very aesthetic. it's not too salty either but the rib wasn't really tender. it was a bit hard but had good flavor. the noodles, beef, and meatballs were good Vietnamese Egg Coffee (0/10) - it didn't taste like egg or vietnamese coffee to me. i've had many viet egg coffees before and this doesn't taste like them? but maybe this is a personal taste. the color on the egg was also a lot lighter than i'm used to seeing. the coffee didn't have that strong vietnamese coffee taste to it. Service: Really nice and quick service! Ambiance: Super cute, floral, and green inside. Decorated really nicely and a small chill pho store type of vibe. read more

What a cute spot! You walk in and it's so beautifully decorated! The smell of the broth hits you instantly and makes your mouth water. One waitress does it all, so service is good but she's a one woman show so it's not super speedy. I would personally skip the shrimp spring rolls, there's nothing in them (just shrimp, noods, carrots, and a piece of lettuce) and we felt the shrimp was undercooked. Had to deduct a for this. BUT the reason it's still highly rated is the PHO! Delish! Broth was intensely flavored (little saltier than we've had in the past) but absolutely delicious. I got the pho nom soup and all the meat incredibly tender and wonderfully flavored. I would absolutely come back. read more

We've been here a few times. The pho is really good here.. very flavorful. We always share the Pho Nom.. it's HUGE! It's a bit pricey.. I think it's about $24 a bowl, but like I said.. it's HUGE! The first time we came here we ordered two separate bowls and we barely put a dent in them so the next time we knew better and shared. It comes with two humongous beef ribs and a TON of noodles, meat and meatballs. The soup is super (at first) hot but then it cools down very fast and gets soaked up by all the noodles... but it's still very good. We had to request for a little more soup. Their sate is not spicy at all, but it has very good flavor. One of my favorite pho places. The only down fall is the parking lot... it's too small and often packed. read more

Food: 3/5 The food itself is okay. We ordered the pho nom which has a decent sized beef rib but super pricey. The noodles and broth were just ok. The rice plate was horrible. The pork was not seasoned well at all and had huge chunks of fat. Service: 2/5 You could definitely tell that the two servers were super stressed. There were a ton of Togo orders and they prioritized those orders over the people who were dining in. Our apps came 20-25 into the meal. Came here only because it's a perk for the Amex platinum card. The restaurant itself is small and AC was broken so it was constantly blowing cold air at us the whole time. They offer a free egg coffee for a review which is cool but likely how they got all the good reviews. Won't be coming back unfortunately. read more

Pho Nom - Pho short rib - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a new Vietnamese restaurant, and we had a wonderful experience. We were served by Zidane and Jaison, who provided friendly and attentive service. I ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls and the pandan coconut tea. Everything was delicious. The spring rolls were fresh, and the tea was refreshing and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the pho. Whil the meat is not the best, the broth was rich, aromatic, and incredibly flavorful. Honestly the best pho broth I've had in San Diego. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and flavor of the food make it worth it. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place has been on my "to try" list and I finally had the chance to try it. The location is within a plaza and there is parking but it can be difficult since it's usually busy.

I've been on the hunt for a reliable spot for Vietnamese comfort food, and Pho Nom absolutely delivers. If you're looking for a bowl of pho that feels like it came straight from a family kitchen, this is it. The star of the show is, unsurprisingly, the pho broth. It's incredibly clear but packed with deep, savory flavor--you can tell they don't rush the simmering process. I opted for the meatball and ribs pho and the beef was so tender, not that "rubbery" texture you find at some other spots. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Our server, Danny, was fantastic. He was incredibly welcoming, quick with recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It's rare to get such personalized, friendly service at a most businesses, and Danny really elevated the whole meal. The atmosphere is clean, bright, and modern, making it a great spot for a quick solo lunch or a casual sit-down dinner with friends. read more
