What I love about Pho Vista is no secret. Their lemon pepper chicken wings are my absolute favorite...still after all these years. Consistency can go a long way and the food and service has always been great for me. It's a cozy hole in the wall, well corner, establishment alongside other food places like Pollo Loco and Thai One On and Oggis is just on the other lot. We do both dine in and or order takeout from here and as long as it's on the menu we get the Chicken wings. 6 wings for just under $15. They do have lunch specials up to 5 pm so you could get a better combo deal perhaps during their specified time frames. Restaurant is kept nice, clean, and orderly. Comfortable booths and some table dining too. Highly recommend giving them a try! *Not our favorite Wing Wednesday "deal" but we're happy for the wonderful quality and like that we can continue to enjoy their good efforts in maintaining that. read more

Nice little Vietnamese restaurant, it's typically not ever busy at all, in fact I wish more people in Vista ventured into this place. They make a nice bowl of noodles and both their egg rolls as well as their spring rolls are a nice appetizer. With the amount of Hispanics here in Vista I would have expected more of them to be eating at this restaurant (in Mira Mesa and on Convoy St down in Kearny Mesa you find plenty of Hispanics love them some Phó.) I say take a chance and come support this local small business. If I could add one suggestion it would be to always either have music playing (even their own Vietnamese style music would be fine....just like Chinese restaurants play their own music) or, put the TV on and play some sports. People do enjoy watching sports when they eat. (Not sure why....but they do) read more

The last time I came here my friend got the veggie pho. I looked at it and thought how much better it would be with chicken. So this time I got the veggie pho but with chicken broth and chicken instead of tofu. It was amazzzzzing! Oooh so good! It's like the regular pho that I love but with a bunch of delisciousness added to it. It's not the same boring, but delicious, pho anymore. The waitress also said how you can mix and match and get any brother with any protein added to it. This will definitely be my new go to for this place. The A4 appetizer, the pork spring rolls, is always my go to with this place as well read more

Pho Vista HEALED ME. I had the worst food-borne illness of my entire life, I could not eat solid food for over a week, and a friend swears by this place, she recommended I at least try it. I had the vegetarian broth with silken tofu and egg noodles for the protein, and I was very careful with the fresh herbs and vegetables that came with the meal. This pho genuinely revived me, it brought me back from the brink, it made me feel 1000x better and I am a BELIEVER. I wanted to cry and fall at their feet but I was in my house because I was too weak to go anywhere (thank you, delivery). The massive improvement I saw after two big bowls of pho from Pho Vista was more than I thought possible. Your delicious, gentle vegetarian tofu pho saved me! Fan for life. read more

Pho Vista is a solid option if you're looking for lunch or good dinner on a budget. All the traditional offerings are there. The photos very customizable and the bahn mi and rice plates are delicious. They are very quick to fulfill online orders. The interior has ample seating and has looked clean every time I've picked up an order. read more

Food was really good; we ordered the Beef Pho with Brisket, you can add up to three different meats to the beef pho. Broth was very flavorful, added some chili oil and jalapeños for some spice and it was great. Service was quick and we didn't have to wait too long for our order. Ambiance was very basic and plain, not really for aesthetics it wasn't necessarily nice. Bright lights and there are tables and booths as well. No bowl sizes to choose from but it was basically small for $14.95, tipping starts at 15%, and for five bowls of beef pho the total (including tip and tax) came out to $80.92. Overall, was a good spot to try but we probably wouldn't come back as it's like every other common pho place. Also offers delivery through DoorDash, Caviar, UberEats, and Postmates if that's more convenient for you! read more

I have reviewed Phó Vista before, but I just want to say again how much I love this restaurant. The food is always beautifully prepared and delicious, the most consistent, wonderful flavors and different broths for each soup. The egg rolls are nice and crispy and flaming hot brought to the table, the grilled meat, rice dishes, and even condiments are always so fresh and prepared so well! The restaurant is clean, and the booths are comfortable. It's great for families and I very much enjoy meeting my friends there to eat. I even often go early by myself to have a steaming bowl of phó before I start my daily errands. Every employee is kind and polite. If you haven't been, you really are missing out. read more

It was probably more of a three star takeout experience than 4 but there wasn't anything wrong, and in this day-and-age of even the simplest of details being routinely overlooked; being boring but solid scores better than it used to. Or maybe I'm just becoming crankier. Anyway, it was take out pho from a strip mall. Adequate but not remarkable. I liked how it was deconstructed so that none of the various components were interacting with each other before I decided they should. It didn't get all gross waiting for me to arrive. They used common packaging, which was just fine and comfortable. But better, more suitable packaging exists that keeps your broth separate from the other ingredients; yet still functions pretty much like a bowl you can eat from. When circumstances are such that you don't have a proper bowl it makes the experience a bit more civilized when you find out the packaging played a part in salvaging the experience. It's an okay place. Could they step it up? Absolutely. Do they need to, and would the local community respond if they did? Probably not. C read more

We visited on Tuesday at 5:20pm and they had a few tables already seated but there was no wait, which was awesome because we are very hungry! Haha I ordered pho beef soup with brisket and we'll done steak and my boyfriend ordered pho beef soup with filet mignon and brisket. The service was very quick and the lady taking our order and delivering our food was so sweet and attentive! We usually go to another pho restaurant, but on Tuesdays they are closed (we forgot). Finding this place was a happy accident! And it just so happens to be closer to our home. I will definitely be coming back if not to sit and dine, then to take some food to-go! Try it out! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. read more

I came here about 30 min before closing and definitely was rushed to finish my meal and leave before 9. They told us that they close right at 9 as I was sitting down, then took our order immediately. The food came out fast, but they also brought the check with the food. The whole time we ate, they were watching us eat waiting for us to leave. I don't blame them for wanting to leave on time, but it was definitely a pressurized situation. We ended up leaving at 9:02- I've never ate so fast in my life. We got the pho tai chin and the nem nuong rolls. The pho wasn't bad, but the nem nuong rolls were not good. They felt like something I could make easily at home, and the nem nuong was weird. To be fair, I'm a bit of a Vietnamese food snob, but with the disappointing rolls plus the poor service, I wouldn't return. read more

Stopped in while running an errand in town and were pleasantly surprised. Food came out fast. The chicken pho broth was flavorful and very yummy. Was a little on the oily side though. Steamed tofu & vegetable pho was pretty good but tasted like powdered or cubed broth. Almost like knorr vegetable broth base powder. The amount and variety of veg was nice and the noodles were cooked nicely. read more

Pho-ever has great food! I really enjoyed their Veggie Pho. So many vegetables and the broth was exceptional! The fried on top was the ticket to this meal! I would definitely come back for this soup again. I docked off a star from my last review because their spring rolls are much smaller in size than most of the other Pho restaurants I've frequented. They are decent but nothing much more to say about that. It looks like their menu has other great options. Prices have definitely gone up. Service was good. The two ladies helping were swamped and the restaurant was full! However they were sure everyone was taken care of. All in all its a great place for pho, but skip the spring rolls. read more

3 times is enough. Charging extra 2.50 For "fresh rice noodles" LOL turned out it's best to keep it "original" portion is insanely small with the price. I fully understood the cost is up but I spent $32 for a small pho & spring rolls. I mean, at least give me a little bit more noodles, and not just 3 pcs tofu & 3 pcs meat. I found hair OMG read more

No flavor in any dishes. The soup had tasteless broth and the meats were poor quality (rubbery meatballs). Won't go back.

There are a few spots in Vista to get pho but I find the location of Pho Vista to be convenient since it's next to several other restaurants. Staff is always attentive and i particular like ordering pho to go. Call ahead, pick up, and enjoy this delicious broth at home and it's just as good. My go-to pho location in north county SD. read more

Pho-Ever is a hidden gem, it's right off the 78 freeway. They have plenty of parking and comfortable tables and booths. The service here is amazing and consistent during every visit. The staff/team are friendly and attentive. The food is just as good. The pho is pipping hot and the herbs and such are so fresh. The basil is the best around. The egg rolls are a perfect shareable starter/appetizer and their sauce is tasty. Their curry is the perfect blend. The chicken curry is seasoned with curry and stewed with carrots, potatoes, and onions, in a coconut-based curry soup. Also, it's served with your choice of rice, bread, or vermicelli rice noodles. Hard to pick just one! They do allow you to substitute certain items, which is nice. The large pho is exactly that, LARGE! It's probably the biggest portion around. The extras/sides are the perfect portion to add to your meal. For example, a side of veggies or or noodles. read more

It was another gloomy and cold day so I wanted pho. I ordered pick up, and was told 10/15 minutes. When I came to pick up my order there wasn't a line so when I approached the lady regarding my order, I was asked to wait, cause someone else was ahead of me.... Confused since there was no one else in line... I waited. After a few minutes she motioned me over... as I was paying another customer came to pick up as well and also seemed confused by lack of helpfulness from the lady. Im. It sure if they were short staffed, or she's never worked the front before but I was will to give a pass at the service, until I got home..... there was no utensils and my pho was packed in a rice container?! How was I suppose to eat pho in a rice container?! I have ordered pho many times and NEVER have I EVER had it packed in a rice container! So I was extremely disappointed that I had to go scrambling for a big enough soup bowl from the pantry to transfer my to go order in. To top it off, the veggies in the soup tasted old and I couldn't even finish it. Needless to say I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Pho Vista - My to go veggie pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - Vista, California

I ordered a vegetable pho and a tofu Bahn mi sandwich. The pho was different than most pho I've had; the noodles were a little thinner. The soup was also packed full of veggies; carrots, baby bok choy, broccoli, and more. All in all, it was a pretty good pho. The Bahn mi sandwich missed the mark for me. The bread was softer than most Bahn mi sandwiches I've had and the flavors were a little flat. Don't get me wrong, it was a good sandwich, but just an okay Bahn mi. The service was friendly and great, and of course this is just my opinion so you should definitely check them out and see for yourself. read more

Solid pho place next to Thai One On off of Melrose. Serves a basic Vietnamese menu. Brusque customer service, but a noticeably clean dining room, kudos to the staff for that. The good: The best beef broths are excellent, as are the gói cuón. The latter are rice-paper wrapped pork, shrimp, rice vermicelli, lettuce and shredded mint. Their version leans a bit much on the mint but that's a personal taste. The not-as-good: Broth consistency can be a little off, I visited on two separate days and found it watery one time. Also, service can be slow...Pho Ever might be how long you wait on some days! Still, a very good restaurant worth your time if you need your Vietnamese food craving filled. This place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK being seen eating here by Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

To be honest I ordered food from here by mistake tonight. I have a go to pho spot and got them mixed up. Once I figured it out what I had done I went over to Pho-Ever to pick up my food. I have to admit, both my dish and my girlfriends were more flavorful than my regular spot! The downside was portion size. I'd say my Būn bowl was less than half the size of my regular order I get elsewhere, and had about a third of the meat. My girlfriends meatball pho was also tastier than normal. However it was a large, and she normally gets a small, so while there were more meatballs it wasn't by much. She was also pretty disappointed that she received a single sprig of the veggie leaves she received with the pho where we get an entire sack of greenery from our normal spot. I will say that if the portions were on point Pho-Ever would have new customers after this mix-up, but for now we will have to skip it and stick to our regular place. read more
