    Healthy veggie pho perfection.
    D.A. K.

    Why is this place not more popular?? It deserves all the excellent reviews--a terrific little mom & pop Vietnamese joint tucked in the corner of the Albertson's shopping center in Ramona. They keep the windows covered to keep it cooler inside--definitely not running the AC in the summer; you'll feel like you might be in Vietnam. This makes it hard to see from the outside. There's an inferior noodle place in the same row, so maybe some people confuse the two places? The family that runs the place are from Da Nang, as the many colorful paintings on the walls attest to. For me, it's all about vegetarian options, and Ramona Pho makes a fresh and satisfying vegan pho, as well as a great bún chay and crispy properly fried cha goi chay. I love Ramona Pho. I drive down from Julian to eat in their clean, quiet and comfortable dining room or to get a banh mi to go! Don't miss this hidden far-east-county gem.

    Impromptu trip to Albertsons shopping center turned into a delicious Pork Bahn Mi "to go" and was stoked to find the veggies bagged off to the side to keep the sandwich crisp + side of hot soup. Yes I dipped. The pork succulent, veggies fresh, flavorful broth and totally hit the spot. Highly recommend trying.

    A great pho place here in Ramona! I came here on a Monday night and got dinner for take out. I ordered and it only took maybe 8 minutes for them to be ready with two bowls of pho for me and an order of pork dumplings. They have some sauces and chopsticks for you to quickly grab for the order. They separate the broth and noodles and also put the meat and veggies in separate bags for you to add in. The broth was delicious and meat was tasty! The dumplings were super delicious - flavorful and the sauce to dip in was a great addition. Overall a really solid dinner and worth the price!

    I think there's only a few restaurants in Ramona that are really good and Ramona and Grill is one of them. The staff is always friendly and quick at getting your food to you. The restaurant has a lot of space for seating. I really enjoyed their calamari and their phos. If you're looking for a yummy spot in Ramona, check them out!

    The Ramona Pho #1 item, is such great value, taste great too! They had the rare steak and meatballs too that I already ate. Everything including the BEEF rib for only $18.99. I think that's a good deal bc if you go to any other pogo place and add meat balls or beef rib, it's going to get real pricey.

    Was more than a little surprised to find great pho in Ramona, but sure enough it exists! Great broth and good meats and veggies. Honestly had very low expectations, but this place stands alongside most anywhere else I go. Service was good and attentive. Only drawback was the fan above us that turned the light in to a strobe. Was kind of unnerving having that effect thru our meal. Great place, I'll drop in again when I'm in the area.

    Ramona locals, look no further! Fairly new pho restaurant and the only Pho restaurant at the moment. Also great stop after a long hike or winery and totally worth the drive to check them out! They're located in the Albertsons plaza with plenty of parking. They offer apps, pho, various types of dry noodles, rice and bánh mì. Open 7 days a week from 10-8pm with lunch M-F from 11-3. Pay in cash and you'll save 3%! There are patio seatings and two identical dining rooms. One could easily be a private room if they decide to add in sliding barn doors to allow guests to host an event. We ordered: -Sweet & spicy crispy wings: Large wings, great flavor. Sweet but not spicy. Juicy and cooked well. -pho: We ordered a mixture of meat that's not on their menu. The broth was fragrant, clear and tasty. Didn't taste MSG. -stir fry flat rice combo: my go to dish when I dine at a new place and it passed the test. The flat rice noodles had a nice char. It's a bit bland but better than sodium. My favorite was the beef because it was sliced super thin and wasn't chewy. -meatball bánh mì: Its basically America meatballs with marinara sauce. If they made their meatballs in house, that would be a different story. When you walk in, you automatically smell the aroma of pho and I left with my clothes smelling like that too. That's when you know a pho place is legit when the broth has been simmering 10+ hours. My fiancé is a pho snob and quite picky. He approves of this place and we'll be back again. Overall, friendly service by auntie/uncle/niece (Jasmin), fair prices, nice atmosphere with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating, and delicious food. This place has potential and I hope they are here to stay.

    Visited 01/27/2024 01/27/2024 Dinner was Fantastic Tonight At Ramona Pho & Grill. This little Vietnamese Family Owned and Operated Foodie Paradise is definitely a great addition to the restaurant collection of Ramona. I've eaten at hundreds of San Diego Restaurants and must say never have I found a a place that makes better Fried Shrimp than here. They are nice and large, breaded and fried perfectly. Tender, Flavorful and mouth watering. This is my go to place for Fried Shrimp. Other appetizers I love here are The Fried Calamari, Egg Rolls, Spring Rolls and Pot Stickers. The list of Authentic Entrees is large with a great selection and are done well. I've included the full menu shown in my photos. Today I had The #43 Stir Fried Cubed Beef Filet Mignon. It was very flavorful but I found it not as tender as I would have liked. They make all their own Dipping Sauces in house and they are excellent. I especially love the house made Chile Oil. Spicy but a great flavor. I haven't tried The Pho Menu yet but I hear it's quite good. On this visit I was the only table without a Large Bowl in front of me. Next on my list. The family has always given me first class table service. Lots of parking and plenty of seating inside. Well worth a visit.

    We've done takeout here about a dozen times since their opening and have never been disappointed. Our go-to is the pho tai (rare beef noodle soup) and it's always spot-on: aromatic, flavorful, hearty, and comforty. My husband always requests it when he's feeling under the weather or needs a pick me up. Fresh, high quality ingredients and huge portions - a large order is usually enough for two lighter meals, or one delightful food coma. I've also ventured into the rice vermicelli section of the menu when the husband wants pho but I'm not feeling the soup vibes and also have not been let down. The noodles and crispy vegetables nicely balance out the beautifully marinated and seared proteins on top. *chef-kiss* The service is always efficient, delightful , and warm. They have a lovely dining area as well, which is usually pretty quiet given that most people come for takeout. I also appreciate that their dine-in tables are separated from the lobby/takeout area so you can enjoy a meal without being disturbed by all the to-go traffic hustling back and forth. For being the only Vietnamese restaurant "up the mountain", they set the bar high - we no longer need to drive down the hill to have a pho-tastic meal. We'll keep coming back!

    I finally got in to check out one of Ramona's newer restaurants, Ramona Pho & Grill! Overall I was super impressed and will definitely be visiting again soon. They specialize in Vietnamese cuisine featuring an expansive menu that is similar to other like establishments. The restaurant has a bright, clean, airy vibe. The staff here is incredibly welcoming, friendly and personable. The banquettes here are somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. The back leans so far from the table, you kind of have to scoot forward to eat. I ordered the "Special Combo Fried Rice" (#57). As with any house very special combo dish it comes with beef, chicken and shrimp. The fried rice is prepared with long grain rice, stir-fried with onions, carrots, peas and eggs in a mandarin sauce. The meal was outstanding and so beautifully presented! The chicken and shrimps were tender, succulent and perfectly cooked. The beef leaned more to the dry and tough side however. The tables feature an assortment of thoughtful condiments. I particularly appreciated the chili oil which added a nice, fragrant spice to my dish. Highly recommended.

    Solid pho spot. Stopped by on the way home after a trip,…read moreand it hit the spot after being deprived of Asian food and filled with alcohol for the past 5 days. Service was great and accommodating for our large group. I ordered a regular rare steak pho. The rare steak portion was generous and cut to the perfect thickness where it wasn't so thin that it curled up in the broth, or so thick that it became tough and chewy. My only complaint is that the regular size bowl feels like a kid size. The contents of it was plentiful, but didn't leave much room for me to add bean sprouts in.

Did I have a complicated order? Was it a long order? Did I have special requests? Nope, the ONLY THING I SAID WAS "NUMBER FIVE" while pointing at NUMBER 5 on the Pho Menu... Unbelievable. With the amount of Vietnamese places within driving distance, I will definitely not be going to that one. After every attempt they made, they finally repeated back to me "number 5"... while writing down a completely different number on their handheld order device... If you put "number 5" on YOUR menu, and a customer is able to articulate the words "NUM-BER FIIIIIIVE", and your waiter can't understand that for the Fteenth time WHILE it's being pointed to on the menu and enter it in correctly, there is no excuse. If they can't put in an order of two simple words without it turning into that, I am horridly concerned for any guests who actually do have special orders, requests, or forbid have any FOOD ALLERGIES.

The kids meal has either chicken or well done beef noodle soup or steamed rice or vermicelli with grilled chicken or pork.
