If you're looking for a more upscale Vietnamese cuisine experience, this is the place to go. I got their stone pot beef pho because it's not an option you see often at pho restaurants, and it was beautifully laid out and I loved the experience of putting it all together. A bit pricey for its portion size, but worth getting once in a while. I also got their combination fried rice and the portion size was generous on this. I was seated immediately on a Sunday night, and it was a bit hard to get the staff attention from where we were sitting but other than that great customer service. read more

Pho Time - hot stone bowl pho, combination fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

We enjoyed Pho Time! The restaurant had good ambiance and great priced. The customer service was topnotch and the food was excellent. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls. They were nice size and fulfilling. We ordered shrimp pho and brisket pho-- both were excellent. But, the best was the Nutella waffle desert, amazing! The restaurant is a family style restaurant. We will def return!! read more

Tasteless chicken curry with large hard raw potato chunks and very watery sauce. Needs help. Combo fried rice also had no spices and was really dry. Shrimp were stale tasting and chewy. boring read more

Went on a Monday evening and it wasn't busy. We were surprised at how many tables there were and glad it's in the shopping center with lots of parking. Tons of choices on the menu - not just pho - which makes it fun for everyone. I got the garlic seared filet mignon pho and it was delicious. The meat was tender and the noodles were good. Friend got the rice vermicelli, and they finished it in about 5 minutes despite being concerned it would be too much Staff were all polite and efficient. I'd love to try some of their new dishes like the banh mi and the plates. read more

In the name of all things delicious, this place has changed for the better! My brother is quite the Vietnamese cuisine enthusiast and he also gave a 5 star review and continues to text me every time he comes here for a meal. The whole interior has been upgraded, and finally I'm starting to see that other people are realizing what my brother and I knew months ago - this place is phenomenal! I come here when I want an authentic bahn mi + side of beef broth. See photos if you don't believe me. Def. worth a trip! read more

Pho Time - Pho with 2723100. Eye-Round Steak and Fatty Brisket - 12 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I had a great experience at Pho Time! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pho -- rich, flavorful broth and fresh ingredients that really hit the spot. You can tell everything is made with care. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the whole visit. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing meal. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food and great service, I highly recommend Pho Time. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

I came here during lunch around to celebrate my birthday with family on a Monday! The interior of the restaurant is massive with multiple tables. The tall ceiling with the windows above creates beautiful lighting to the center of the restaurant. There's no more fish tank by the way. The Vietnamese hostess/server was so sweet and joyful. To drink, my brother ordered the $7.25 Coconut Matcha. It's coconut water topped with a creamy matcha mixture. If you like strong matcha, then you should sip it. But if you like a refreshing flavor + matcha then you should drink with a straw... 4.5/5! I had the $6.75 Hue Sea Salt Coffee. This wasn't as I expected because on the menu... it looked like a sea salted cream on top, but what I received was sweet deflated whipped cream. I was so eager to try it that I only took a mental photo. The coffee portion was strong with the perfect amount of condensed milk. I am thankful for the whipped cream topping because the sweetness cut down the saltiness... 3.7/5! My mom ordered the $6.50 Coconut Coffee. It's always so refreshing, sweet, and strong. The coconut blend wasn't icy at all, creamy and super coconuty-- a really delicious drink. It was also topped with wide toasted coconut chips! 5/5, would highly recommend! The two coffee drinks shouldn't take very long to make. We were surprised it took about 15+ minutes to come out. Usually Vietnamese coffee drips under 5 min! It wasn't that huge of a deal at the time, since we did have to wait for the rest of our group to come. But just something to note! Also, the sharing plates were super small (think 4x4 plate), about the size of my fist. Later on, a family member ordered their $6.50 Peach Lemongrass Tea! I love the way they utilized the lemongrass stalk as a straw. The peach flavor was strong, she said she would ask next time for it to be not as sweet. To eat, we ordered the: - Grilled Sugar Cane Shrimp (Chao Tom)with Fine Woven Vermicelli (Banh Hoi) Tray: the banh hoi was white, green, and purple. I'm surprised that it wasn't overly cooked/bloated and they were able to keep the vibrant color! The grilled shrimp on sugar cane was good & different. I liked the flavor and the occasional large chunk of shrimp. I wish that the sugar cane flavor came off more. I think it lacked that aspect. I know you can chew on the sugar cane to get more of the juicy goodness though. The platter came with lettuce, mints, cucumber, carrots, and daikon and fish sauce mixture. The fish sauce mixture tasted lovely with a hint of heat! Overall, this platter was nice to share with family. And it was cool to see on the menu because you normally don't find this available at Vietnamese restaurants. - Banh Xeo: This came out about 1 hour after we ordered which is super strange because usually all the items are prepped in advance. They had to redo it a few times since the first tries didn't work out well, according to the waitress. They did really stuff the banh xeo with meat, shrimp, and beansprouts which was nice of them. The plate came with lettuce (to wrap everything and dip), cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, herbs and fish sauce. The banh xeo itself was a smidge thicker than I'm used to. The banh xeo batter had a really strong sweet coconut flavor. I love to eat banh xeo, but this was hard to eat with how sweet it was! - Pho with Eye Round Steak and Lean Brisket..etc. They brought out a plate of pho herbs (aka beansprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime). We got the pho that had rare meat and a few other meats. I thought the broth was tasty and light. I liked that the pho noodles weren't over cooked and they didn't clump in the bowl at all! Next time I would ask for the rare meat to be on the side because they were a little too over cooked by the time they reached the table. My brother enjoyed his pho as well! - My aunt ordered their new menu item, Garlic Wok Seared Filet Mignon Pho! This has great and fragrant garlic flavor and she really enjoyed it. Would recommend if you like garlic! Also, the waitress overheard us and excitedly mentioned she will make a bday dessert for me which was super sweet. She gave me three scoops of ice-cream topped with some boba, and a mint. It was too cute. I'm not entirely sure, the ice cream reminded me of French vanilla! Overall, it was a lovely spot for lunch. The utensils were well organized within their cafe de Paris coffee tin. They even have vegetarian (chay) options which is cool. I would recommend stopping by Pho Time, when you're in Pacific Beach. You don't want to miss trying these delicious Vietnamese food. read more

The service was great. The staff checked on our table multiples to see if we need anything and asked if the food was okay. The food tasted good. The shrimp roll was sugarcane stick was amazing. The pho was okay nothing special but the meat was good. The fried rice with beef steak was acceptable. I think the meat was a bit tough. The drinks were good. The restaurant was spacious and bright. read more

I'm not one to write reviews but I absolutely have to commend Pho Time for having the best Pho I have ever had!! My boyfriend and I were in town from Phoenix just for a weekend and the Filet Mignon Pho immediately caught our attention when looking for a place to eat. It was amazing!! The broth and meat were so flavorful and the lemongrass peach tea I ordered to accompany my meal was delicious! We even got smoothies to go as dessert at even those were incredible! On top of the great food, the staff was great and super welcoming and attentive we're back home now and we can't help but dream about the next time we visit again. Thank you so much to the staff working on December 29 2025 in the evening sorry we came to close to closing time we appreciate you and hope to see you soon read more

Pho Time - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

My husband and I came yesterday for the first time, and our experiences were awesome! We normally order two different dishes everywhere we dine in. However, it was raining yesterday, so we decided to order two bowls of Pho. I got the "Hot Stone Bowl Pho," and he got the "Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon Pho" The Hot Stone Bowl was amazing! It came with Fresh Flat Rice Noodles, which is my favorite. The stone bowl kept the soup hot for a while, so the steak cooked nicely and evenly. The Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon was super delicious! I could taste the garlic flavor in the meat. We also ordered two coffees: Hue Sea Salt Coffee and Coconut Coffee. They are Vietnamese coffee for sure because they woke us up in an instant. We will come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended! read more

Pho Time - Great interior design! - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Pros: My husband got the pho time special and I got the Vietnamese crepe (banh xeo). The portion size of both plates were huge and filled us up fast. We also got 2 spring rolls- the rolls were okay for appetizers. The total bill for our 2 meals, 2 spring rolls, and lychee ice tea came out to be $40. The service was great and fast. Cons: They did not have the AC on while we were there and it was so hot especially in August. There was one fan in the corner but it was small and not very useful. In addition, the front door was open and flies were coming in. I would've rated this place higher if the AC was on. We were just uncomfortably hot while having lunch. I would suggest if they wanted to save money, maybe buy more fans or invest in a better AC. Overall the food was great, but we wish we were more comfortable while eating. read more

Very nice here, the owner is such a sweetheart and is so kind. My friend and I were ordering and she was switching back and forth from English and Vietnamese perfectly. It was so cute!! The restaurant itself is so giant and spacious. The food itself is big portions and so good too! The food also has combos for pho, egg roll/spring roll! definitely would check it out:) read more

Pho Time - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

The new and improved Pho Time must be tried! It's under new ownership and the interior is light with nice clean decor and drawings and photographs of Hanoi and Vietnam throughout. The atrium with its high ceiling creates such a unique atmosphere that draws in the light and the space feels almost like you are outdoors. The new owner, Mai, greeted us warmly upon arrival and we sat in one of the many comfortable booths. We started with the eggs rolls with fish sauce. They were crispy and came with lettuce wraps so we dipped the entire wrapped egg roll into the fish sauce and got a flavor delight. You must try the egg rolls! Then we were treated to some spring rolls with shrimp that we dipped Into a mild peanut sauce. Yum! We split a large bowl of vegetable pho and put all the beans sprouts, lime juice and Thai basil into the broth. It was filled with rice noodles and tofu and broccoli and carrots and it was amazingly light yet also filling without leaving me in a food coma. We were treated to a free Thai ice tea for our Yelp review..... so take note you yelpers. Please come and try this healthy Vietnamese cuisine. Open from 11-9:00 so you have lunch or dinner to either eat in or take out. I hope this business thrives and the word gets out. They serve all kinds of specialty drinks including egg coffee and lychee iced tea in addition to alcohol. Great service, atmosphere and very reasonable for high quality food and setting. You will be glad you tried it. read more

Wasn't for me, but my bf really liked the pho here. If you aren't picky about pho, this would be a decent place to try. Got pho to go, and there were a couple things I didn't like: 1- the rare steak (tai) was placed on top of the noodles without anything to separate it, which leave the noodles covered in blood. I rinsed the noodles before I prepared my bowl at home. 2- Came with barely any herbs 3- The broth was really bland at first- turns out all of the flavor had sunk to the bottom, which is weird. The "flavor" on the bottom was reminiscent of instant ramen. Not sure what could have made it taste like that (bouillon, msg?) 4- The tripe was overcooked and mushy. That being said, my boyfriend really liked the broth. He isn't as snobby about pho as I am, so he gives it a 4/5. The price was also pretty decent and the quality of the meat was good. I would come back to try some other items if I was in the area. Take it how you will (: read more

The atmosphere was really nice. Service was very quick and friendly. And the food was great!

Got the combo pho, comes with pho of choice and a spring roll or egg roll. I opted for a large beef pho with steak round and a shrimp spring roll. It was just what I needed after feeling like dog poop all day. The broth is flavorful, the steak is cut thin enough that it warms and cooks with the hot broth. I ordered delivery via DoorDash and it arrived in less than 30 minutes, they are quick!! I also got a Thai tea with boba, I prefer mine less sweet but didn't think to request, it is good, would ask for less sweet next time. Would order from them again! read more

Portions are generous, the meat is tender, and everything tastes fresh. Service is quick and friendly, and the place is clean and casual. Solid pho spot I'll be back. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get pho. I always get the rare steak pho and it is so good and the proportions are large. You also can't beat the price. The staff is also fantastic. When I eat in they are courteous and the surface is quick and excellent. And when I order for pickup it is ready so fast. It's in a shopping Center Plaza And so there is plenty of parking. I mostly order for takeout but I have eaten in several times and the ambience is very neutral to me. Nothing negative about it but nothing about it stands out either. I would say it's a very casual place though. Next time you're wanting some Pho definitely check this place out. I also recommend adding the bok choy to your order. read more

Came in for a late-night dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is very spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was solid--our servers were attentive and made sure everything was going smoothly. I ordered the filet mignon, which was tender and well-cooked. It paired nicely with the flavorful bed of fried rice it was served on. A couple of things to note: the design of the tables might be uncomfortable for those with trypophobia--while I didn't get any photos, it was noticeable upon walking in. Also, it was a bit unconventional to be served while a waitress had her baby with her and kids were occasionally running around. It didn't bother us too much, but it might be something others would want to be aware of. Overall, the food and service made it a worthwhile visit, even with a few quirks. read more

Pho Time - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

By far my favorite pho place I have ever been to. I have ordered the times special dozens of times on DoorDash, but since I live within walking distance decided to eat in today. The service is great- super friendly staff, immediately got seated and less than ten minutes later had a hot bowl of pho in front of me. I love the Time's special pho, and eating it at the restaurant was even better than ordering it to go. The broth is great, they give plenty of meat, and for such a large bowl only 14 dollars is a good price. The meat is great, if you are in the San Diego area looking for a great bowl of pho I highly recommend (I've been to other places in San Diego, this is the best). Will continue to come here and enjoy! read more
