[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little Vietnamese restaurant, it's typically not ever busy at all, in fact I wish more people in Vista ventured into this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] People do enjoy watching sports when they eat. (Not sure why....but they do)

Vegetarian pho with egg noodles and silken tofu
Eva R.

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.

Beef Pho with Brisket
Nevaeh S.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

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.

Combo pho #1
Marcel T.

4/5 tasty hot broth, firm noodles, and lots of meat in combo Pho. 3.5/5 average service and ambiance

Nem nuong spring rolls
Karen T.

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.

Chicken pho
Samantha W.

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.

It's been awhile since we've been here and we've definitely missed out…read more Went with the fam this evening at 6:00pm and was able to be seated promptly. Everything like the decor, food and especially the customer service was exactly how it was the last time we went, so that in itself was impressive. The employees are so kind and efficient and Trina is the absolute best. Even after not being there in a long time, she remembered us and what we usually order! She is amazing. We ordered our Pho's, Spring rolls and my usual Bun Bo Hue. Every dish continues to be so delicious and full-flavored. Nothing lacking. We also ordered Thai teas which was refreshing and so tasty. It's always a hit when we go. We'll be back!

Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great meal. They even boxed up our leftovers for us which was such a thoughtful touch and treated us with some free desserts since it was a holiday. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a nice ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. We loved the Vietnamese dishes since that's our ethnicity. But it's great that they also offer some Chinese and Thai options on the menu. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating they were to my mom, who is diabetic. They kindly substituted extra vegetables in place of noodles for her without any issues. We really appreciated their willingness to help and make sure she could enjoy her meal. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and excellent food. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town and can't wait to try more dishes from the menu!

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.

My hubby and I ordered the well done pho and half order of egg rolls. Broth was piping hot but bland, meat seemed too chewy, and the only ingredient that gave it life were the green onions. Egg rolls were good. Restroom was somewhat clean and because it's next to the kitchen I can see the other staff just sitting and texting. Makes me wonder if the broth was even fresh. I don't understand the reviews and maybe they've never tried authentic, tasty and fresh Pho? Or the reviews are just about their drinks?

On our way to visit a family member in Oceanside, we ended up at this little restaurant near our…read morefriends' house. I was surprised that this little place had so many options. We each ordered a different dish, and of course, I ordered the beef pho. It was kind of a gamble. I immediately regretted it as soon as I placed the order, fearing it wouldn't be up to my standards--especially since I'm a chef and used to live in an area with a very high Vietnamese population with many well known pho restaurants. When the pho came out, it only took a few sips for me to realize I was wrong to have prejudged this restaurant. The broth was a little lighter than at some other pho restaurants; however, I could taste all the hidden ingredients like star anise, ginger, and onions. The meat was well-cooked, and everything tasted fresh. My friend ordered bò kho and bò lúc lắc, while his sister had the rare beef pho. They both finished their plates and bowls to the last drop. The restaurant is clean and the service is excellent. If you are in the area and looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, look no further--please check out this spot!

I ordered take out for dinner, Rice with BBQ Pork and Pho with Lean Brisket Steak…read more The BBQ Pork came with white rice, side salad (w/ sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and tomato slices), and one little portion cup of fish sauce. 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.
