    Vermicelli, bbq chicken, and egg rolls
    Beverly E.

    This is such a great, authentic Vietnamese spot in North County--definitely a go-to for our family. What we love: * Outstanding service: We've visited three times over the past 16 months, and they actually remember us each time. They even give my kids lollipops, which is such a thoughtful touch. * Kid-approved dishes: My (picky) kiddo always orders egg fried rice at Vietnamese restaurants, and this is hands-down his favorite version. * Consistently good food: The vermicelli bowls always hit the spot, and the egg rolls are fresh with reliable quality every visit. * Crispy pork spring rolls: Super tasty, generously filled, and perfect for sharing. The peanut sauce that comes with them is especially delicious. Overall - great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this place stand out. We'll keep coming back!

    Small Pho with meatball and rare steak on side
    Christine H.

    This is my new favorite pho spot in north county!! I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner. Not only is the food delicious, but their service is amazing! All the aunties there are so sweet and they actually care about you. It's a true family restaurant. For food you MUST get the bun bo hue, I got it with the spare rib and it's so good. I love spicy and all of the flavors were there. If spicy ain't your thing, get pho. Can't go wrong with pho when you're hungover. It is sooo good, and for spicy lovers you can't forget their house made saté! It's so flavorful with fragrent lemongrass I can honestly drink it lol. My hubby got their salt and pepper pork and he said it was so mouthwatering good. You'll def see us here more often.

    Best Pho spot in Vista. I love coming to this place as the owner makes you feel like family. They are all super friendly and have an intimate knowledge of all their customer. The pho is so authentic that it feels like I'm eating my mother in laws homemade pho! Service is fast and the best part is if you have leftovers the server will pack it for you, you don't have to do it yourself like most restaurants. I love this place!!

    The signage as you enter.

    Always friendliest service. Pho hit the spot today. The sever was talking loudly (Vietnamese) into the kitchen window then paused shortly and looked back in the window and yells "to go!" I laughed at that one. Good crowd in this Sunday lunch. CritDicks

    P-8: Large Pho Tai (Rare Steak)
    Lauren P.

    We came for dinner on a rainy Friday night, and it was packed! There was around a 30 minute wait for a table, and for good reason. The food & the service are both top notch. We ordered the tofu spring rolls, a large chicken pho, and a large pho with rare beef. The rice paper on the spring rolls had the perfect amount of chew, and the accompanying peanut sauce had great flavor and texture. My chicken pho came with the fragrant beef broth, which didn't need any additional seasonings or sauces. I loved that each slurp had green onion in it, and the rice noodles had a nice chewy texture. Both soups came with lots of meat, especially evident in the steak pho. The servers were all so friendly, treating each table like neighbors or good friends. You can tell they all work well together and enjoy their work. The ambiance is cute, from the floral ceiling lights to the hand painted art on the walls. If it's busy, make sure to write your name on the clipboard to save your spot in line.

    Xruc
    Stephanie T.

    I haven't been here in a while but the quality is still just as good. I got the pho xruc or whatever it was called, which tasted really good. It came with chicken, noodles, and veggies. Was enough to fill me up and still have some leftovers. The staff were very nice and patient. The place definitely isn't as nice looking as the Escondido place, but they do a nice job with their decorations.

    Tried their salt & pepper pork chop rice plate and it was so bomb. Crunchy & savory especially after getting a side of the fish sauce and dipping it in there. Delicious pickled veggies on the side just 10/10 Amazing service per usual, I love all the friendly and funny workers here. Every time I go they just make you feel so welcome! Also their hot & sour soup was literally perfect, exactly how I like mine.

    This is still my favorite Vietnamese and phǒ place in North County. I always enjoy everything I order and I try different things all the time. We come back every few months and they always recognize us. They always keep my water filled and sometimes even offer us and other tables free soup to take with us to go at the end of the night, so it doesn't go to waste. When they give you the bill they give you these delicious little candies that are addictive. It's always packed too which says a a lot. We got lucky on this visit because they're on vacation from 21 July to August 15 and we happen to come on the 20th. So we were able to get our fill. I wish them well. We look forward to our next visit because what I had this time I want again soon.

    Soft flat rice noodles

    Best soft flat rice noodles in north county especially with soft tofu Best service and pho is great

    Mitzy M.

    Although the wait was long everyone was so friendly and checking in on us, they even brought us egg drop soup for the wait time. The spring rolls weren't as fresh but still very good, the vermicelli noodles with beef were amazing and the egg rolls here are a MUST! We are definitely coming back here.

    Pho Truc Xanh in Escondido is a cute little spot with some lovely decor touches that make the experience feel colorful and inviting. The rare steak pho was solid and comforting, with thick savory noodles that were hands-down my favorite part--chewy and satisfying in every bite. I tried the spring rolls too, but didn't love the flavor of the marinated beef in them--just a little too sweet for my taste. Everything else tasted fine overall, nothing mind-blowing but decent and filling. The menu is impressively large, so it seems like there's something for everyone. The vibe inside is super colorful and artsy, with colorful lanterns hanging overhead and paintings lining the walls. There's a big parking lot right outside too, so no need to stress about that, which is a win. If you're coming with a group, this could be a nice middle-ground spot where everyone can find something to enjoy. It's the kind of place where I'd maybe come again if I was nearby, especially for the pho. The broth has a clean taste that doesn't feel heavy, which I really appreciate. It feels like a solid neighborhood spot--not a destination place, but reliable. I wouldn't rave about it to out-of-towners, but I'd definitely meet a friend here for a low-key lunch. Cozy, casual, and dependable.

    Beef bone special pho
    Brian C.

    Probably one of the best pho restaurants in sd county. The pho flavor here is very rich and they pack their bowls with a ton of meat. The service is incredible for a pho restaurant. They ask you how you are doing and are able to make you feel like a valued customer. The ambiance feels like your local restaurant as everyone eating there was almost a local. The staff knew many people by first name. I would definitely come back.

    Egg rolls
    Stephen B.

    Wanted a hearty meal on the way back from the Safari Park, so I checked for places online and saw that this restaurant has great reviews. Arrived to find a nice, clean, spacious dining room that was already filling up by 5 PM! Super-friendly service, which might be one reason why so many of the customers seemed to be regulars--they were greeted by name and the staff knew their usual orders. We got very generous portions of tasty food and left satisfied. The grilled pork and the pork chop were a tad dry, but overall, it was a good experience. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

    When it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, there are plethora to choose from in Vista, California…read more I recently discovered Tasty Phô, which is a small, locally-owned, family-owned shop outside of downtown. They are located just off of Santa Fe Ave. in a small shopping strip. The interior is very simple, with very little decor. It is also very small and only allows for about 25 customers seating. Although there is booth seating for groups of four, this place is best for solo or date-dining. The service here is fast, friendly and very welcoming. This is because it is owned by a husband, wife and son; so there is a very personal touch when it comes to customer service. I've come here twice and so far I really love the no. 46 pork vermicelli noodles, their egg rolls, spring rolls, and their combination phô soup. It is important to note that there is pork in their eggrolls and I love how crispy they are. All of the meats in my meals were delicious! Their menu is priced very affordably with the majority of the items costing under $15. They appear to be very popular for delivery service services, such as DoorDash and Uber eats. There were also many people who did pick-up. Although I could wish for more ambience inside with some music, I can appreciate that there's ample parking in their shared lot and they have a clean bathroom. If you happen to be in Vista and want to support a small, family-owned business that serves delicious Vietnamese cuisine, I highly recommend Tasty Phô.

Fish sauce was enough to pour over everything, rice, salad, and pork. I devoured it and would definitely order again. My husband ate the pho. He said the brisket was alright by itself. He's had better. Adding hoisin sauce helps. The dish only included two packets of hoisin. (I keep a bottle on hand because I normally like hoisin with almost every bite whenever I eat pho. Restaurants never give enough.) Be sure to ask for extra! The noodles came in a bowl which is convenient. Other establishments may have the noodles in a Chinese take out box and you supply your own bowl. Overall, he was happy with his meal. The restaurant only had one table with guests. Two more tables were taken by the time I left. I don't know if I've ever seen this place packed. The decor is the same from the previous business that occupied that spot. The restaurant is fairly quiet with the exception of a movie playing on tv. I don't know the movie. Didn't pay much attention to it until I heard cussing. A lot of it. Tense scenes. The lady servicing the front paid no attention to it. Probably background noise to her. I wasn't a fan. Not exactly family friendly and poor taste imo. I went here because my usual spot is closed on Tuesdays. Overall, it was a decent experience.

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.
