Fabulous Family Business with great Pho and Vietnamese food! Authentic and a casual environment just off the State Street. There is a lot of different things on the menu ... the Vietnamese food was great. (Didn't try anything else). read more

Wanted to try a new pizza place since we thought we needed a change from Ca'Dario and Bettina and ordered because of the sourdough advertised. The pizza had what looked and tasted like frozen crust, and overall had a very school cafeteria/frozen pizza taste. Not often do we find something completely inedible, but this was it, and not cheap either. read more

5 stars all the way! I love how they have vegan options ( tofu spring rolls, fries, and vegan pho ) the location is very cute and the owners are so friendly! I was struggling to find a place that opened at 10am in this area that wasn't breakfast. So glad I bumped into this restaurant! Coming from the home of Vietnamese food ( Orange County ) this place is a win. Thank you! read more

Rare raw and chilly day in Santa Barbara. 2:55pm on a Sunday. Too late for brunch or is it? Looks like my egg dish fantasy is about to die, then Yelp spits out 4 eggs and Pizza. Strange name, I like that and they serve Vietnamese dishes too. It's run by a cute couple in their 7th year of marriage, she's Vietnamese and a stickler for high quality food, he's a white local who has past experience working in the high end food industry. I ordered the Chicken Pho and my wife ordered the Banh Mi egg sandwich with freshly pickled veggies and toasted baguette. My wife is Vietnamese and she was impressed with the Banh Mi sandwhich. Eggs gently cooked on top of obviously freshly made pickeld veggies on toasted baguette that was both crisp, fluffy & light. My chicken pho was hands down the best chicken pho I have had and I have been to some of the top Pho restaurants in both little Saigon's in Orange County & San Jose area. Why? rice noodles cooked to the right texture. The bean sprouts where super crispy & fresh. She had thai basil which I haven't had in any of the other Vietnamese restaurants in town. Fresh and fragrant. I have to have my Pho with thai basil. The chicken was tender, which often isn't the case in Pho where some restaurants may cook the chicken in the soup and over cook it after a while. At 4eggsP they freshly cook the chicken to order and add it in. You can taste the difference this makes. Finally the broth. Clean with a lot of body. Home made with the balanced hint of star anise which goes so well with the thai basil and fresh jalapeño slices. I didn't feel the need to add any hoison or Sriracha sause. The soups blend of home made fresh ingredients and balance full bodied broth was simply perfect and didn't need a thing except for a good squeeze of lime. My wife rejoiced to finally find a place that has high quality Vietnamese food and will likely try their sourdough pizzas next. read more

Was hungry and looking up new places to try in Santa Barbara. I am a local and have seen many new places through out my years. As I was skipping along the internet I saw 4 eggs & pizza. Well glancing at the menu and see the combination of foods. To us at first glance the menu looked odd and not like something that I would normally try. From my experience when a place has more than one cuisine on the menu it usually does not turn out well. WAS I SURPRISED! Me and my partner had the pho and bahn mi sandwich. These two items did not disappoint. Me and my partner have traveled to south east Asia and these two dishes were very authentic and made to perfection! The husband and wife who run this place are very nice and amazing cooks. 10000% worth the try! I will be going back and trying the many other dishes very soon! read more

Great gem of a find in SB. Sooooo needed here, Pho without MSG ! Met owner who took our order & everything was good. Fresh shrimp roll, piping temperature hot (the way it should be) Pho & kimchi chicken personal pizza ! Cute plaza for outdoor seating~. All excellent. Will come again read more

Really tasty foods! It is a hidden jewel! We weren't sure at first as this place is so hidden in a private courtyard from State St. We were impressed by the taste of the spring rolls, beef pho, and no Koh. read more

OMGG OH MYYYY this was AMAZING! I'm a local here and have had many opportunities to write reviews for places but this small sweet little business deserves my first one! I was craving pho all night and day, I've tried a few places before and haven't had much luck before. I got the beef broth pho with tofu and veggies instead of beef and I ate the whole thing! Santa Barbara has expensive food, period. Here it's made with love and you can feel it! read more

Best pho in town! Fast service. Good vibe. My husband and I both had the pho but we'll be trying other Vietnamese dishes soon.

The pizza here is amazing. It's not your traditional Italian or wood fire, but anytime I get it, I'm always left wanting more. I'll have to try other menu items, but overall I will be eating from here again and recommend others try it. read more

Hidden gem off State Street. This review is for the Pho Tai Nam I got. Honestly did not expect to find good pho at a place that serves such a large variety of food. For SB standards, this is probably the best pho in town. Clean broth and has all the fix-ins provided. I had no complaints about the the bowl of pho and will be returning throughout the next 3 years. MUST TRY! read more

This place has become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. It is out of the way and super charming - very relaxed. The Shakshuka is wonderful and unique, served in a small cast iron skillet. It is loaded with taste and such a surprise as very few places serve this dish. Next was the Banh Mi which was savory and fresh. Lastly, I think the pizza is, again, very unique. The sourdough crust is not wildly different from other crust but very enjoyable. The real pizza review came from my wife. I brought some home and she tried it. Half-way through her first piece, she asked where I got the pizza from. I told her and she was emphatic - this might be the best pizza in the city. I truly enjoy all aspects of this little cafe. read more

Best most flavorful pho we've ever had. The aroma of the spices in the broth alone was enough to show how high quality it was. My boyfriend had the chicken pho with chicken broth and I had the veggie pho with vegan broth and both were so full of spice and flavor. I find that with most vegan pho broths, there's almost no taste but the flavors were so pronounced. Great for meat eaters, happy surprise for vegitarians. The place is a little hidden and maybe unsuspecting but that's what makes it great. read more

Disappointed in recent take out order. Usually, large soup is wonderful with large portions of tofu, carrots and broccoli. Not this time! No tofu, 3 small carrot pieces and a few soggy broccoli pieces. Expensive and definitely not worth the price. Sorry I cannot count on this restaurant to be reliable. It's a disappointment. read more

It is really rare to find a place that has a full English breakfast. They have it on the menu and it is delicious! The husband and wife that own the restaurant are super friendly and we had an overall great experience. To get to the restaurant, you have to enter the Victoria Court shopping area and it is in the courtyard. Perfect place to get your day started off right! read more

We were driving through the area and we needed a bite to eat. This place had positive reviews in yelp ( no clue why), so we took a chance. Boy, what a mistake!! We ordered the chicken curry, small beef pho, egg rolls. After seeing the food, im convinced all the food was store bought, ie trader joes. The curry was pretty much watered down soup. Unbelievably watery, nasty. The pho bowls were tiny, almost like a soup bowl. I had tiny bowl phos before in Vietnam but It was 2 dollars though! Not $16!! The beef egg rolls were presented like a dried up microwaved fruit. No greens, no cucumbers, etc. Just that sweet dip that's everywhere. Bad bad sign. The egg rolls itself hardly had any beef, it was all air, all crunch. Store bought for sure! I'm guessing they're fooling the locals there somehow. Some of the clientele probably cant tell how bad and unauthentic this place is. Shame on the owners. Terrible service too. Last tip: don't pretip when ordering from the counter. The young woman working there has no clue. We had to ask for literally everything. Utensils, napkins, condiments, etc Its just uncomfortable asking for things that should be on thr table already. Awful place!! read more

Just not really good pho. Didn't meet my expectation expectations for a high-end downtown like Santa Barbara.

An authentic mom and pop shop that serves a taste you'll never forget. A amazing hidden gem off of State Street! Perfect lunch w/excellent service, generous servings, fair prices, beautiful setting, and divine flavor. I love it here! read more

Coming from someone who is used to OC pho, the prices are crazy for mid pho. I paid 18+ for a small bowl of pho that would be served to kids back in OC. Honestly not worth the wait or money but if you really want pho, go for it. read more

I have already come here multiple times and it is a great place. Always get the pho and the Bahn mi which are both outstanding and very authentic. The broth in the pho ranks up there as one of the best I have had. Ron the owner and his wife are also very friendly. Just a great place to have lunch and sit outside in the patio that nice and feels very secluded. Great location too with only steps from state street. read more

Best pho in sb. So so good, wouldn't go anywhere else, friendly staff too! I like the chicken pho and the fried spring rolls, nice selection of beers too! read more

Probably my favorite pizza in SB. All the ingredients are really quality. My friend who's worked at a pizza joint in LA says this is the best pizza he's had. I'm inclined to agree. No gimmicks or signature touches, just a very well-made pizza. And most importantly, the quality (especially of the crust) has been almost exactly the same every time I've come. The pho is also surprisingly good. Nice cuts of meat in there. Portion of noodles could be larger, though. read more

Great service and food! You order at the counter but the staff is more attentive than many restaurants with waitstaff. My Bulgogi Ban Mi was delicious. Can't wait to try the Beef Stew and Curry dishes. read more

The food is great, which sucks because you can't enjoy a meal there without hearing the husband berate, belittle, and disrespect his wife (who makes the famous pho). It's a super uncomfortable atmosphere because of that, and it really sounds like he just doesn't like women. I'd rather spend the day with my divorced parents than eat at this restaurant, at least then I'd get free food. Or order online and spend the extra bucks. read more

I had been looking for good pho in Santa Barbara and tried a few other places and I must say that the pho I had here was the best by far. The owner is very kind and serving, all the staff was very polite and kind; the only problem I had is that the restaurant itself if too small to fit all my friends! So much respect for this place definitely recommend! read more

Great Pho and service, probably the best for SB and Goleta combined! Banh mi was fantastic as well. Outdoors seating was lovely, especially in the afternoon. You gotta come here! read more

We have tried their pho and bahn mi and both were simply delicious. The owners are super nice and they have a cute outdoor dining area. We will definitely be back! read more

I came here by word of mouth. I'm not a phan of Pho but that is what I should have ordered. My buddy was raving about it. I had a 8" combo pizza for $11.99 and I didn't feel like it was a deal. Hot and fresh toppings but nothing out of the ordinary. So four stars for the pho and the fact that a friendly local and his lovely wife are running a good business. read more

Wow does this menu have some variety! The pho was perfect for a cold day. I got the beef pho and I'm so glad that there's a good noodle spot in town! The patio area is quiet and secluded. It's a really cute area on a sunny Santa Barbara day. My friend has tried the pizza and liked it too. Will be back to try other dishes on the menu! read more

Another excellent breakfast! There's no place like this in Santa Barbara. We love the European feeling of the courtyard too. This morning we're having French steamed eggs with salad and a classic French omelette. read more

Sooo good! 1000% recommend, the staff is so nice and provide amazing service. One of my favorite spots in town.

Extremely overpriced pho with fake chicken bits. Not sure if the beef pho would be any better. Boba also tasted terrible. Nothing authentic about this place. So disappointed! All I found good was the location. read more

Such yummy food! Glad my husband and our little family found this super friendly restaurant. We got their beef pho and pepperoni & buffalo chicken ranch pizza and all were delicious - would definitely recommend & come back! read more

Their pho is great!!!!When I walked in the restaurant, I wasn't sure if I should try the pho since the menu is mix with pizzas and burgers! But we decided to try, and surprisingly their pho is good! The broth reminded us the flavor in Vietnam! You should def try! read more

Absolutely delicious! This place is a hidden gem. Everything I've tried on the menu has been amazing. They have the best bahn mi in town! I highly recommend checking it out. read more

the owner is incredibly friendly. food is delicious too! I got the chicken pho and it was great

As a Vietnamese person, I can say that this restaurant has the best, most authentic pho you'll find in Santa Barbara. Broth is clean and aromatic, and the cuts of beef are fresh and tender. This is the only restaurant I'll go to when I need to satisfy my pho cravings. The owners (a husband and wife) are also really nice. read more

I went to this place for their Pho. I had the beef and it was delicious. The portion is a bit small, I recommend ordering the large pho unless it's a side. read more
