    Rare beef pho
    Kiyomi F.

    Service was good, the restaurant was small and practically empty when we went. Pho was okay, little too sweet for my personal preference. The inside of the restaurant was nice & clean, nothing out of the ordinary.

    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!

    Pho tastes great!! Friendly staff and food is on the table quick, their chai tea is also pretty good. Underrated spot !

    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!

    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.

    house special
    Tina H.

    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!

    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.

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.

    Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

    What a disappointment. I had high expectations due to the Michelin bib Gourmand award, but the…read moreflavors fell extremely short. The restaurant was fairly empty although Resy wouldn't take reservations. Plenty of bar seating. The service was fair, not particularly warm or engaging, which was fine. The food was alluring and beautiful, but the flavors were salty, flat, and mushy. Starting with the Paloma, it was nothing special. Just something you could get with a well happy hour special. Serviceable but unremarkable. Very Instagrammable, however. The pork belly was nicely charred and had nice bite sized morsels on the skewer, good texture, but the sauce was very salty, almost bitter. Forced myself to eat the 2nd skewer, but could not push through the last 2. In contradistinction, the beef rendang was almost bland, like a microwaveable peanut butter Hormel beef stew, and the cardinal sin - the rice underneath was mushy. That was what sealed the nail on the coffin. Bland, albeit tender short rib, on top of smushy rice. Dead. I barely ate one of the 2 pieces of ribs and couldn't do more. The staff wanted to see if I wanted a take out container. When you see a customer that disengaged with the food, you'd better be wary. Being Asian, I don't like to waste food, but when it's so not good, I'd rather walk away and get something else than to finish a terrible meal. Many diners have a millennia of choices in this price point. Sadly, not sure how this restaurant got recognition because it's half as delicious as your typical neighborhood Thai restaurant. Banana Leaf at the Original farmers market in LA is better, though humble and homely. Just very disappointing. Hope it was an off night and that others have a better experience.

    Yelp! review #15 of 2026 Visit on 16 March…read more Dropped in around 7pm with a party of 9, including several meat eaters and one vegan friend. The place wasn't too busy but had decent reviews, so we decided to give it a try (for the win!). They were able to accommodate our large group with seating, which was really appreciated. Once we sat down and placed our orders, things initially seemed fine. But then the service slipped. When I asked for water, they only brought out three cups, just for the kids. We had to ask multiple times before my wife and I finally got ours. Most of the food arrived, but my eldest daughter's meal was completely missing. After we inquired, it took another 15 minutes for it to come out. It really felt like they had forgotten half our order. The fried rice and broth arrived even later. On the positive side, the food tasted fresh and was genuinely good overall. What really stood out negatively, though, was the staff's response every time we said "thank you." Instead of "you're welcome" or "no problem," it was always just "Yep!" It came across as dismissive and disrespectful. While the food was solid, the service and basic human interaction need real improvement. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll probably look for other options.
