Food is good... I am vietnamese so my expectations are pretty high. But overall only viet food in lemon grove. Great place for lunch. Nice new and clean. read more

I Had a long day at work. Decided to take my co- workers out to have some dinner at the end of our shift. At 1st Tony was nice in welcoming us and thank us for coming to his restarant. I ordered a mango drink which tasted horrible. I asked can i please switch this out, It does not taste goos at all. Must be spoiled or something. Tony replied "No, the button is already pressed". I had to buy a new drink while paying for the horrible drink that i did not drink or want. This was about 8:50 pm. Then at 9 pm we were still eating. He came over with the bill and then told us "we close at. Can i have the payment"? I am eating, and i was rushed out!!! This is my 1st time at this specific location but this will be my last. I will eat from another location the next time my workers and I get some food. Horrible! Thats all. Also not to mention half cups of water??? What the hell? read more

Pretty good pho for a great price! Thai Ice Tea is on point!

Good solid phô. Not amazing, but not bad. Pretty skimpy portions of basil and jalapeños, but they'll give you extra if you ask. Broth is very tasty--better than most. Their fried oysters, while tiny, are hot and fresh. read more

The food is delicious but the service sucks. I always hope this changes. Of coarse I go with an open mind but every single time I am disappointed. I thought it may be cultural but Comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants, this is not the reason. Smile and know your menu people!! read more

This place is awesome! Best pho I've had in San Diego. Added bonus, the place is beyond clean! Definitely the nicest pho restaurant I've ever been too. Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, great place! read more

Great service. Very attentive, clean, good indoor and outdoor space, plenty of parking and a wide variety on the menu. Well priced, and a needed addition to the area. We'll be regulars. read more

So glad that this place opened here in Lemon Grove! Delicious pho! No wait and friendly staff. We will definitely return !! read more

Love love love . Waiters actually talk to you after they're done seating. Food was delicious. I was a little sketch since it was new and it wasn't busy at all but it surprised me in good ways. Literally a minute away from home & I'll definitely be back more than once! read more

We took a detour from our usual Pho spot (OB Noodle House) to try out Pho Royal and we were pleased that we did. My wife and I both got the Pho (her's vegetarian) mine (rare steak) were both brought out quickly and were full of flavor. There were plenty of fixings to add and I would recommend the Pho to anyone. My daughter got a noodle dish with chicken that she enjoyed but I can't remember the name. The only thing they are missing is alcohol, no need to go crazy but a few taps and a bottle list would make us more likely to attend. read more

Amazing Pho. The waiters were very pleasant and fast,speaking amazing English!! Me and my boyfriend had Pho,springrolls and eggrolls for appetizer. It was really good. Best meal ever! Will come back for more read more

This was probably the best veggie pho I ever had and I have been to many places. I have pho once a week, if I can. I was visiting from Santa Rosa and this would be my new favorite if I lived in San Diego. read more

Food was good but service sucked. No communication or warm welcomes. If the were more curtious I would go back....but next time I will go back for delivery only. read more

I am really happy we found this place. I had the seafood combo pho, and it was amazing. Lots of favor the shrimp, fish, and scallops were cooked perfect. Really clean and great service. The menu looks full of tasty items. Can't wait to come back and try something different. Welcome to the neighborhood!!! read more

Tony is great at recommending a dish and so nice. I came here with my parents for dinner and we shared the Kung Pow chicken, Pad Thai and beef fried noodles. It was all delicious! So glad we came to try it out. We will be back very soon! read more

Love this place. The pho is amazing. Their smoothies with boba are so delicious. Besides the servers being on their phones waiting for customers to finish eating, this place is really good and their food is really tasty. Try the lychee smoothie! read more

Very good food, service,and atmosphere. Fresh ingredients, loved it. Smoothies are tasty, and I can't wait to go back.

Love this place. Fresh food and friendly service. Found it on a cold rainy night. Now we come here for Pho and Spring rolls. Expansion is great for larger parties. read more

I am happy to finally have a good place in Lemon Grove! Pho was good. Bun Royal was really good. Prices were right. The staff was friendly and the place itself was nice. The only thing missing (for me) was the wrappers on the fried eggrolls. I prefer the fried rice paper. Other than that, I am happy! read more

This place is amazing and delicious! A huge Vegetarian menu and delicious fresh food with great customer service.

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego. Huge portions, nice ambience (nothing fancy but perfect for a casual meal) and very fast service. It's super easy to order on the way home and pick it up. Good prices! I recommend the orange chicken, friend rice, and of course the pho!!! read more

Stopped here for pho since I was in the area to run some errands and I think I got royally screwed. The pho itself was mediocre, the bean sprouts look old and dark. My biggest complaint of all is the price. Their small bowl is almost 1/2 the size of all the other pho places for roughly $8. You would actually get a large size bowl for the price of a small bowl here folks. There's little to no competition by the pho Royal in Lemon Grove and so they think they can charge whatever price is and get away with it. If you want real good pho at reasonable prices, I suggest all those pho restaurants along El Cajon Blvd, between 70th and 40th streets. More competition means better pho and better prices for all of us, the consumer. read more

Just ate here tonight with my boyfriend. Only reason for the three stars was because my boyfriend actually enjoyed his Pad Thai noodles and the spring rolls were decent. The spring rolls were very thin and the only thing that made them better than okay was the peanut sauce was actually tasty. I ordered pho noodles with mixed veggies and tofu. It was hands down THE WORST pho I've ever had!!!! The broth was inedible tasted and smelled like chemicals. My boyfriend compared it to cleaning solution he uses at work.... tofu was bland and kind of gross but, then again I don't really like fried tofu. We then ordered a mango smoothie with popping boba which my boyfriend enjoyed I thought it tasted like soap tbh lol. And I ordered an avocado smoothie with regular tapioca boba which is my favorite. Again THE WORST avocado smoothie I've had! It was grainy bland and not creamy like I've experienced at better restaurants I've been too. And the boba was hard. Would NEVER come back here again for myself at least. The staff was decent but, when I asked for to go cups for sauces she gave me only one which is weird since it's myself and my boyfriend and 3 different dishes. When I asked for a few more she gave me ONE more. Kinda stingy on the to go cups I guess lol. read more

I have come here so many times and ordered tofu on my fried rice instead of all the imitation stuff. The waiter said they didnt do that, when in fact they had done it many times. Its a restaurant where im paying to eat what i want and he wasnt willing to give me that? After some arguing, he did it but its TERRIBLE service. Don't waste your money on this place that doesn't want customers. read more

Nice setting and conveniently located as the single pho shop in my neighborhood BUT, keep driving. Servers makes you feel like you are bothering their break time. Pho broth wasn't rich if anything it was suspiciously 'process' like it was a from a brig cube. Minimal basil offered. Noodles were congealed to the bowl so that to means it wasn't freshly made. Yakisoba was just fried noodles with A LOT is cabbage, onions and carrots. Worst of all, the utensils and bowls were greasy and dirty to the point they were stuck in on each other. It's as if they were just rinsed and no detergent were used. The bill came before you took your 3 bite. I do not recommend it. read more

This place is extremely disappointing from the food to the service! We had the shrimp fried rice and it was just nasty I had the shrimp noddles which only had 2 shrimp in it! The cashier was on her phone facetimeing whiling they were customers and while she was ringing someone up this place was hurt horrible read more

Where do I even begin. First off the Customer service is honestly terrible. They were not polite, they were not welcoming, and they had a rude attitude. Let's talk about the food now. The soup it self did not taste pleasant it was below average taste. The noodles and the meat were alright. For appetizer's I ordered egg rolls, I'd like to say that the was the only thing pleasant, they were fresh and hot. If someone paid me to come here I would turn it down. It's not worth my time. I do not recommend this place. If you want some real pho in San Diego I highly recommend Pho King. read more

I ordered the rare beef pho (A) and it was really good. I'm pretty picky about pho, having come from the San Jose area where it is abundant. It was quick and cheap (8 bucks or so). The broth had all the flavors I was looking for. I will come back when in the area. read more

The food was off and on. The pho was pho; it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. I probably wouldn't order it again but the bun royale and the special royale summer rolls were really good. I would come back and try other things on the menu. Service was aloof and not friendly read more

This is the worst Pho place I've ever been to. Customer service was HORRIBLE. We walked in and the guy just stares and doesn't say anything, he just waved his hand around. I had a question about the menu and he was like "you're not ready!?" The pho tasted like cinnamon. My Thai tea was so watered down, it didn't even taste like Thai tea. No sweetness at all. My husband thought the same thing so it wasn't me being picky. read more

The pho is delicious! The staff is very friendly, especially Tony! Will definitely be recommending this place.

Went here for lunch with coworkers and we decided to try this new pho spot. Glad we did! Everyone really liked their choices. I will be back on a weekly basis! read more

First time here, My boyfriend and I got Phò it was good. I asked for something that wasn't on the menu and they were gladly to make it for me. read more

Easy to find thanks to another's review. I loved the Pho. Service was excellent and fast....I was introduced to Pho in Wash.DC and when I saw this open close to me ....I rushed in. I ordered a combination of meats that the owner recommended and brought it home as take out. I was given so much food it will take at least 3 more sittings to finish. What I had was excellent the service was very fast and I recommend this place if you like Pho. read more

Nice place. Servings are on the smaller side, but prices are also commensurately low. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

ugh. i am so sad right now. i eat vietnamese at least four times a week. its my favorite. i was SO excited when i found a place by my house. they even have veggie broth and soy chicken & shrimp. I went last night to get some soy chicken spring rolls to go. i wanted to check the place out because i wanted to come to dinner with friends later in the week. the guy who took my order was very nice. when i payed i asked the lady ringing me up if i could have another hot sauce to go. she said there was one in there. i said "oh i know but can i please have one more, i like lots of hot sauce" she didnt want to give me one. a stupid hot sauce to go. i told her fine ill just go buy some. and she didnt say anything. that dumb baby to go hot sauce was more important than a customer :( how greedy. i left angry. went and BOUGHT some. cost just as much as the spring rolls. they werent anything special anyway. something was missing. anyway--super sad cause i was really excited about this place. read more
