    05/10/2026 Yes, I enjoyed their delicious food. That's why I chose to celebrate another Mother's Day here.We ordered: -Steak with fried rice ($20.95): Tender and delicious. -Beef with grape leaves ($20.95): Fulfilling. -Chicken vermicelli bowl ($14.95): The chicken was dry. -Egg rolls (4 pcs for $9.95): At $2.50 per roll, there was hardly any meat--just the rice paper wrap. This was disappointing. Service: The service was okay. However, the staff members were too distracted and busy to focus on the customers they were helping.

    Garlic butter baby back ribs
    Mai H.

    This is the spot for solid Vietnamese food. The cá nướng (baked catfish rolls) are one of my favorite things here -- perfectly seasoned and baked just right. It does take some time to prep so I would call the restaurant when you're en-route so it'll be ready once you're seated. The chicken wings are also yummy, crispy with great flavor, and always hit the spot! Their garlic butter baby back ribs are another standout I enjoy, the seasoning is msg-loaded. It can be eaten alone or with rice. While their pho isn't the absolute best, it's still good for a place that doesn't even specialize in pho, and it's comforting and satisfying when you're in the mood. The restaurant itself is clean and there's plenty of parking, which is always a huge plus in this area. If you're looking for reliable Vietnamese flavors and some standout dishes, this is where you need to be.

    Pho had good broth and well assortments of different types of pho. Got the each rib on the side and I'd say worth the order. Their combo is also good, everything in it is well cooked Good service quick with orders and gave good recommendations Pretty big open seating, they do prefer reservations so plan ahead but when we went many tables open Beef with fried rice is good 9/10 and rice was good. Really stood out with the hot plate and they don't just rip the plate super hot where is splashes and burns you. Hate places that do that. Perfect temp to roast the onions on the plate with the beef, well seasoned and not too much sauce on it Any pho and their beef highly recommend, they probably have bomb vermicelli will need to try next time

    Pho with rare steak slices is my go-to dish. Basic and always delicious

    I frequent this restaurant because the pho is so delicious and fragrant. Also, the garlic butter wings as an appetizer for a large group always hit the spot! I usually come on the weekends, and as a popular spot, it tends to be busy. But I'm usually still able to get a table within 10 minutes or so, and their service is really fast! (Sometimes too fast - if you take too long to order, the server might leave while you're thinking to help someone else because they are BUSY! haha) But the restaurant is clean, nice to sit at, and has good food, so overall one of my fave pho places in San Diego.

    Large Catfish
    Lien P.

    My family and I came here for New Year's dinner and got the fried chicken, baby pork ribs, broken rice, bun rieu, and the large cat fish. The food and quality were great. Especially the fried chicken wings and baby pork ribs. The large catfish takes a while to make and the price is market price. The size also depends on what they have available! The large catfish came out to be around $94 which is kind of pricey and definitely a splurge. Service was alright! Not bad and not great but did the job.

    When you want Pho, you want Pho! Came across this location while in the neighborhood. When we got there it wasn't busy but it started to get very busy as it got dark. The food was delicious the broth was amazing. Also had the egg rolls that were also very tasty. I do recommend trying this place if you've never been. It has a large dining area to accommodate large groups. And the people who work here were so helpful. I'll be back for sure.

    Didnt know that this is a sister restaurant to Phuong Trang! Once i found out, it didnt surprise me that that's why the food was good! Our table ordered the following: Garlic butter ribs Calamari Wings Beef stew with egg noodle Oxtail pho Rib bone pho Everyone was quiet eating. A good indication of how yummy the food was. I enjoyed the ribs. A hint of sweetness in each bite. It tasted so good with rice. The service and staff here are so nice. It seems like a popular spot since we came on a Tuesday night and it was steadily busy. Parking is free. would definitely come back again!

    Grilled Shrimp lotus salad

    I can during lunch hour and service was far. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere. I had their shrimp salad and it was so good!

    Kung pao fish
    Ryan M.

    Came to try their Butter garlic chicken wings that I've heard so much about from multiple people. They were crispy and similar to salt and pepper wings at a Chinese restaurant but with a buttery flavor to them. You know what they say, butter makes everything better. Make sure you get the fried bits on top of each wing it's just extra flavor that you don't want to miss out on. We also got the tenderloin with fried rice. The tenderloin came on a sizzling platter and was very tender and tasty. It came with a separate plate of fried rice and salad. The fried rice was ok; not super tasty but better than just plain white rice. The salad was just lettuce and tomatoes but there wasn't a dressing. I ate some with the flavorful beef which was fine but we didn't finish the salad. The kung pao fish was ok, the fish pieces were deep fried and tossed with sauce, veggies and peanuts. The fish was tender but had a stronger fish taste. If I had to guess I think it was sawai. It went well over the fried rice and salad. Service was friendly and attentive, waters were refilled multiple times. The dining room is large and there's a lot of 4 top tables. They are located in the same strip mall as Katsu cafe, Lolita's, Curry club and Yuk de jang so there's a large parking lot. PT Eatery is a second location of Phung Trang, so they have some of the same menu items. I don't think the butter garlic chicken wings are Vietnamese cuisine but they are good! I'd recommend the chicken wings and Tenderloin with fried rice.

    Craved Bahn mí (but, no pǎte served in theirs). Garlic butter wings 6pc. 7/2/25
    Joanne P.

    I was so indecisive what I wanted for lunch- closer to Kaiser- the better. It was a todd up between Bahn Mi or pho. I was dead set on a sandwich and saw the menu used the work "house special spread". I thought it was code for "pâté. Because pâté's THE ONLY reason why I want a sandwich! When the waitress asked for my order, I casually order the char grilled pork WITH extra pâté... and that's when my lunch craving got shut down. (Waaaahh!) She informed me they don't use that on their sandwiches and told me it's butter, instead. I decided on a small rare steak & tendon pho with shrimp added to my order. Now, when I say small- it's a great sized small bowl. First glance it looks like- there's hardly anything in it. But, it's packed! No shortage on vermicelli noodles. And with my additional shrimp topping- my ingredients weren't making a mess as I enjoyed each scoop of broth, slivers of steak & plump shrimp. Tails are removed from shrimp- one less thing to fiddle with. It's spacious inside. Plenty of booths, tables in the center of restaurant and some 2 tops. The six piece garlic butter wings were a plus. Not greasy and heavy. Breading was fine, golden, light, very crispy. Tastes like they're sprinkled with MSG (no complaints). I arrived at 11am and the lunch crowds were trickling in. Plenty of parking during this time in their shopping plaza. You can enter eastbound on Clairemont Mesa Blvd or Ruffner Road.

    Garlic Butter wings
    Heather D.

    We came here for dinner over the weekend. For appetizers, the Garlic Butter wings were super good! Very similar to salt and pepper wings but without so much salt. The Pho French Dip was a spin on a Bahn Mi and a French dip sandwich. I loved this and would definitely order again. The Pho was also very good, we liked the broth. For dessert, we all shared the 3 colored dessert. This was so good!! It was a mix of sweet cream, red bean and jelly.

    Vermicelli noodle with Grilled Pork and Egg Rolls
    Ryan S.

    Great alternative place to Phuong Trang. Smaller menu, but PT Eatery seems to have the "top" dishes from Phuong Trang. They have Banh Mi here (fyi). We love the food here. We came on a Saturday for lunch. Got seating quickly (restaurant about half full). Broken rice dish was great. Lots of food in one entree. My wife had their vermicelli noodle bowl (exactly the same as Phuong Trang). It's great too. One of my go-to dishes. Ube coffee drink was surprisingly delicious. One of the only ube drinks I've ever had that actually had ube flavor (nutty, coconut-y). Yummy. Service was great. Staff consistently came to check on us. Lots of tables here. But I didn't see those large round tables. For bigger groups, they combine the smaller square tables together. For check, just go to register and pay. Note: They charge an automatic 18% for parties 5 or more. We'll come here again. See you next time yummy food.

    Roger M.

    Great portions, freshly made. Nothing is mass ordered frozen like many of the other Asian joints in the area. Grab yourself a coffee while you're at it. They make it fresh to order. They crush it with your usual viet joint dishes such as com tam or bun thit nuong. Oh and the wings. The only two places I'd order wings from at as Asian spot in town is PT Eatery and Phuong Trang. Show up hungry and eat away! Better to come as a group so you can order numerous things and share!

    Is this place even open? Called but no one is picking up..Thursday @ 6pm. Also called phuong trang and they don't pick up either

    Funny, I've also been calling and nobody's picking up!

    Has the hours changed? i tried calling and no one is answering the phone today?

    I'm not 109% sure, but I think they are running everything through their main store, Phuong Trang, on Convoy St. I will check and share what I learn later today.

    Does the bbq pork meatball rolls have the deep fried crispy egg roll wrap inside of it?

    No it does not, comes wrapped in rice paper and has the same vegetables as a spring roll

We came hungry and decided to share Combo #5, which came with a total of 5 lbs. of seafood along with corn and sausage all tossed together in the bag. It was definitely more than enough for our group to share, and we loved being able to dig in and try a little bit of everything! The sauce was one of the biggest highlights of the meal for us. It was so flavorful and really made the seafood even better. I also loved that you can choose your own spice level, so you can customize it depending on how much heat you can handle. We definitely appreciated having that option! Another dish we really enjoyed was the crab rangoon. These were so good because they actually use real crab, which made them taste even better and feel a little more elevated than your typical crab rangoon. I would definitely recommend ordering these as an appetizer! We also tried the garlic noodles. They were good and paired nicely with the seafood, but I do think they could use a little more flavor to really stand out. That was probably the one thing we felt could be improved. The service was a little slow during our visit, but overall the staff was nice and the food made up for the wait. We also got really lucky with parking, which is always a win in the Convoy area because the parking lot can get absolutely crazy depending on the time you go! Overall, we had a great time at Submarine Crab and really enjoyed the food, especially the flavorful sauce and the crab rangoon. It's definitely a fun spot to come with friends/family, share a big seafood boil, and get your hands messy. We would definitely come back again when we're craving some good seafood!

Malatang has become so popular in SD, especially around Convoy, and I've noticed several new spots opening up in just the past couple of years. We tried the Malatang with the classic bone broth and tom yum broth. Both were alright - the broths were lighter and not as heavy or rich as some other Malatang places. It's a good option if you prefer something less oily and more on the lighter side. Their fried desserts - the Coconut Lava Balls and Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes - were pretty good. They had just the right amount of sweetness and weren't overly sweet, making them a nice way to end the meal. Even though they now offer Malatang, their Chinese-style fish soups are still worth checking out. Their menu originally centered around dishes like suancai fish, a popular Chinese comfort food that's relatively new to the SD food scene. If you're not in the mood for Malatang, the Tangy Lemon Fish and Golden Beef Soup are solid alternatives. The ingredient selection is good, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming.

For each bowl, you start by picking whether you want the base to be snakehead or basa fish. You then select 4 sides from a list (I highly recommend the vermicelli). Additional sides cost extra. For a small sized bowl, 1 bowl of rice is included. For a large sized bowl, 2 bowls of rice are included. The large size is enough to feed 2 people. I'd recommend ordering at least 3 larges if your party is 3 or more people.

There are so many options and it even comes with dessert. The dessert was ok, but you're not there for that. I would say for the large menu of items, freshness and deliciousness, this is the top AYCE Sushi Restaurant in San Diego.

    My hubby and I came here for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. We called ahead to ask if we could…read moreorder from the dinner Platinum AYCE menu during lunch, and they were able to accommodate us, which we appreciated! Overall, the food was pretty mid for us. I don't eat much raw sushi, so this experience was mainly for my hubby to enjoy, while I tried more of the cooked options. The steak teppanyaki could've used more seasoning, the ramen was probably a 5/10, and the fried rolls I ordered were a little too heavily sauced for my taste. Eel is my typical go to, and even the eel was quite underwhelming unfortunately. I do wonder if ordering the dinner menu during lunch may have affected the overall quality or experience. Funny enough, when I asked my hubby what his favorite thing was, he said the crab rangoon! I completely agreed! For someone who came wanting sushi, that was definitely unexpected. It was also somehow the only thing I didn't take a picture of because apparently it was too good for my camera! On the positive side, everything we ordered came out correctly and in a timely manner, and we had no issues with the service. But for the price, especially compared with other AYCE sushi spots we've tried, there wasn't enough that stood out to make us eager to come back. Still glad we gave it a try for our anniversary!

    I went to this Louisiana Cafe restaurant because my Mom saw them featured on KUSI. She said the…read morefood looked so good and that she wanted to try it. So, we all decided to get the family of four together today and try it . I ordered seafood gumbo which was delicious with just a kick of spice. I also ordered a few jalapeño corn bread muffins which were fresh right out of the oven. The rest of the family ordered jambalaya and red rice and beans, plus another person ordered seafood gumbo just like me. We all enjoyed our food and the dining experience because our waiter went above and beyond as he delivered extra friendly and professional service. After lunch, he surprised us with an order of beignets that were accompanied by strawberry sauce which are homemade as well . They were sweet and delicious! The interior was decorated so cute as if you were dining in a quaint little town in Louisiana. Can't wait to come back . The food was delicious, ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was perfect!

    Decided to try this place because of all the great reviews, but unfortunately, we were very…read moredisappointed. We ordered takeout and were told it would be ready in 15 minutes, but it ended up taking over 25 minutes. When we got home, we realized part of our order was missing. While waiting at the restaurant, we saw the portion sizes being served, and the portions we received were noticeably smaller. The jambalaya appetizer was dry and disappointing. The shrimp & grits were fine, but for almost $30, the portion was ridiculously small and definitely not worth the price. Overall, between the wait, the missing items, the small portions, and the price, it was a very disappointing experience.
