    What a great little gem. Excellent pho, super tasty and fresh. We were so impressed with the very friendly service and the delicious, authentic food. The vegetarian pho was perfect, very flavorful which is not always the case with veggie. The veggies were fresh and delicious. The others had the steak and brisket and loved it as well. So glad we found this restaurant. We will definitely be back.

    Located in a busy shopping plaza is this little pho shop that was a pleasant surprise to my friend and I! We stopped in and were surprised at the portion sizes of their pho bowls! Service was pleasant, and the speed of food delivery from ordering was so fast! I ordered a rare steak pho but the steak slices looked more well than rare, not like cooking the meat in the hot broth itself. Not an issue, it was still delicious! I did enjoy the lighter broth flavor, it didn't have a strong anise flavor lost pho places I have been to usually has. We did order the shrimp and pork spring rolls which were also delicious, and came with a generous amount of fillings! If in the area I would definitely come again!

    the food is always good, the place is nice and clean. Fast service. I drove another hour and a half to eat here. You should give this place a try.

    Definitely the best pho in the area. Apparently I go there too often, and now they know our order when we walk in. We always get rare steak pho, a classic. Bean sprouts and basil are always super fresh. And they have limes now!

    Menu. Chinese (and Korean) items .. and drinks!

    This is our new favorite Vietnamese go-to place in Oceanside! We've been here a handful of times and have also ordered take out. This is your standard no-frills restaurant. There are tables of 2 along the window and larger tables throughout the space. They have great service all around! They are quick and attentive, and if you're here for lunch - they know how to do the lunch rush right! Food. * French fries. $5.99. Great option for kids but very bland even though it has seasoning. * Chicken chow fun. $13.99. Doesn't look like the photo on the menu, but it is packed with flavor. Definitely a good choice if you'd like noodle dishes. * Chicken fried rice. $14.99. Has your standard peas and carrots with small bits of egg. A good rice dish! * Steak and brisket pho. $13.99. This is my favorite here so far! The broth is good and there's good balance of meat and noodles. There's only one size (large) and it's filling! * Rare and well done pho. $13.99. We ordered this to-go and the attention was really in the details! The rare steak was perfectly packed separately, which I appreciated! * Kids pho is complimentary, but the broth was lacking. Not sure what kind of broth it was - but maybe chicken broth or something simple would be better. My kids typically like pho but weren't excited about it here. If you're looking for chicken pho, or banh mi's they offer them now! It's currently not on the menu but they just added them so just ask! Oh! And if you like Vietnamese coffee, they do it right! Get it strong, you won't regret it. It's the best I've had in this general vicinity! They have so many great items from pho to hot dishes! If you like Vietnamese food, give them a try. Welcome to the neighborhood Pho Ocean Garden!

    I have been here once and was impressed by the food and the service.; The food here is fresher and tastier than the food at most other Vietnamese restaurants in the Oceanside area. I was able to get my order filled quickly and am really happy that I came here- I was really hungry and and definitely was NOT disappointed in any way. The people who work here try hard to please their customers.

    Delicious pho! I paid 15.99 for a huge bowl of house special (brisket, tendon and meatballs) and 4.99 for a yummmmy Thai tea. Service is fast, everyone is friendly and the menu looks great with lots of options. Newly opened, about 6 months ago! Happy to have a great and authentic local Viet/pho spot! Looking forward to trying their Vietnamese coffee next! They brew their own thai tea in house for 6 hours!

    Wow! My friend recommended this Vietnamese restaurant on Oceanside Blvd by Chase Bank, and OMG... we were blown away! We've been driving all the way to Pho Cow in Mira Mesa for years because we used to live near the 56 fwy area. But now, we've finally found the perfect Vietnamese restaurant right here in Oceanside--it might even be the best in town! The soup was piping hot, just the way it should be, and it made us feel so happy. I ordered the shrimp noodle soup, and the shrimp were larger and fresher than anywhere else. It was so delicious that I had to write this review. Thank you for bringing such amazing pho to Oceanside! Welcome to the neighborhood, and I hope your restaurant becomes famous soon. Please, keep the same incredible flavor and that perfectly hot soup!

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.

What I really liked about the dumplings was that the exterior did not break when grabbed with chopsticks. Pliable. Soup stayed in the dumpling until I pierced it. (At Joyee, many times dumplings stick to the paper and rips. Soup spills out. The dough can be a little chewy.) We also had tea with our meal. My husband with the Taro Milk Tea with Boba and me with the Tropica Fruit Tea. My tea was quite refreshing. I forget everything that's in it but there's jasmine tea with a mix of fruit tea, a mint leaf, and pieces of fruit - strawberry, blueberry, pineapple. My husband enjoyed his drink too. Boba was nice and chewy. Dumplings were being made as we were leaving. Who doesn't love freshly made dumplings?! Almost forgot to mention that the service was great.

Nearly everything we tried was bursting with flavor, well-deserving of the Michelin Bib Gourmand designation the restaurant has earned the past five years. The food is served family style, and the cocktail menu is unique. Conveniently, there is also a good amount of street parking around the restaurant, even on bustling weekends. To start, I had the black rose, an agave wine cocktail with black sesame, rose orgeat, and egg white. I'm not sure the blend of flavors worked, but it was certainly unique. We also tried the gypsy king (their version of a spicy margarita) and the pandan, lime, and coconut mocktail, both of which were decent. For the small plates, we agreed that the charred eggplant and sea bream ceviche were stellar. The sambal shined with the eggplant, and the cassava chips paired perfectly with the makrut lime and coconut cream in the ceviche. The roti was just alright - nothing to write home about. The pork belly skewers were juicy and well-flavored, although we had finished all our small and large plates by the time the skewers came out (we had to ask about them - the waiters/kitchen likely forgot about our skewers, as multiple tables seated after us received theirs before we did). The ayam penyet, nasi goreng, and beef rendang were delicious and well thought-out dishes. We agreed that while the menu is heavily Indonesian-inspired and the food features the flavors of Southeast Asia, the dishes are quite Americanized. Dija Mara shines in presenting a typically uncommon cuisine in the U.S. in an easily accessible manner, which is laudable. Would recommend everyone try at least once.

Lately, I've been searching for a new go-to pho spot, and this place is definitely climbing back up my list. The staff was professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The dining room, bathrooms, tables, and sauce stations were all well maintained. I also appreciated the hand sanitizer available at every table small detail, but a nice touch. I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.
