We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was...

was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking lot was not packed at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7

My wife gets the special combo Vermicelli. Service is attentive and friendly. Bobby is the head chef and he knows what he is doing. Enjoy!

I ordered the Special Combo Vermicelli, and it was perfect. Great portion size with just the right balance of vermicelli, protein, and fresh veggies. The nuoc mam tied everything together beautifully. My mom had the Short Rib Pho,...

and it was incredible. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and flavorful, with a broth that was rich but not oily. We also shared the nuoc mam and salt & pepper chicken wings and nem spring rolls, both super tasty and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We also had a large group of 10 which I know can be hard to manage but the service was wonderful. I highly recommend this spot, definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around!

Alex R.

Located in Santee. Plenty of parking. Ordered the pork eggs rolls, salt and pepper wings, rare steak pho, and combination fried rice. The food was good but the wings were a little dry and they added way too much cilantro into the pho. The service was very good. They were on top of the orders and the food came out quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I was in Santee and had a craving for Pho, I would come here.

This place has consistently been the best place for me to get pho. The food is always good and fresh and the service is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is also always clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I was staying nearby and stopped in here for an early dinner. It was located in the Town Center Parkway Plaza on the west side of Cuyamaca St, just north of the 52 freeway. After looking over their menu, I ordered the P1 Signature phở đặc biệt which included oxtail, shank, flank, and brisket. It seemed pricey at first for a bowl of pho, but it was a big bowl, a hearty portion. Food was good and so was the service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a solid spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Still a great place to eat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good food. Good service. Updating to include photos.

Signature Pho (oxtail, flank, shank, brisket)

Pho was very tasty! Got the one with oxtail, flank and brisket. Interestingly, this spot doesn't have tripe and tendon. Overall the staff was friendly and enthusiastic! Definitely worth a stop in you are in the area!!

To start the food was absolutely amazing, my husband and I both ordered the brisket pho and it has to be the best I've had! The staff were all so kind and helpful and we got our food in record time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The kitchen's choice of music was top tier and wish it was louder ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back!

The dishes here are amazing. The pho noodles broth was flavorful and sides were fresh. I ordered the Pho dac biet which has all the meats. Egg rolls were perfectly crisp. Very friendly service.

One of the BEST Vietnamese restaurants I've ever been to! Instead of ordering pho (since I'm so picky with pho, I didn't want to risk it), I ordered the rice vermicelli noodles with grilled chicken, grilled beef, grilled shrimp and egg rolls. I asked that the egg rolls be vegetarian since I don't eat pork. The dish was DELICOUS!! The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My friends also loved their selections, including the grilled beef banh mi, egg rolls and pho. I definitely will return to try the other dishes with confidence.

Becky L.

quick service on a Thursday at 5pm! The generous portion of hot broth that has clearly been simmered for hours to develop a rich and complex profile of flavors is quick to reach the table. Located in a busy shopping complex, this is a perfect place to take some time for yourself and enjoy a hot bowl of noddle soup or a plated rice dish, or a crunchy Bahn mi sandwich. I enjoyed the bowl of Pho, and I can be a little picky. This place is definitely worth a visit of you're in the area.

This place is a hidden gem in Santee. Came here several times with my family. The moment you walked in, they greet you with a warm smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can smell the aroma of home cooked pho from the kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We usually order beef pho. The broth is delicious and you can taste the the freshness of the broth and the tenderness of the beef. The staff is always friendly and treat you like a valued customer. The service is fast and the food is always delicious. Bobby who is the part owner and cook cones out and greets customers. He asks how everything is and chats with customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is relaxing and feels welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Most expensive pho I've ever eaten. Bowls range from $15-$22, and are not excessively large in size. The pho was lacking in meat and noodles, and was mostly broth. We did not order egg rolls, but the were served anyway. Tasty but small. 3 for $8.00. Not a good price. Banh mi was $10.00 and very tasty. Literally everything has a high price tag. There are 3 other Vietnamese restaurants that are as good, or better. All are better deals. read more

I tried almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants in SD. I ordered 1 Pho and 1 pork chop rice plate. The Pho is $20 but just a little meat. It's just even a regular bowl compared to other places. The rice plate is not tasty. This restaurant is pricy. Also, it's dark inside. They turn off most of the lights on the ceiling. Pho Ca Dao in Santee is much better. read more

I came here on a Sunday at 10:00am right when they opened. I was immediately greeted and made to feel welcome. Bobby was really exceptional with the service and conversation he had with me. I came by myself and I didn't feel alone or weird because of Bobby. I ordered the shaken beef and it was THE BEST I have had in San Diego. I grew up in Westminster, CA and this tasted like it was home made from a friend's mom growing up. The spring rolls were the freshest spring rolls I have gotten at a Pho Restaurant. I definitely recommend this to anyone that knows Vietnamese food and has high expectations. The portion sizes were generous as well! The restaurant is very clean and well decorated as well. Overall 5 star experience! read more

Hugeee fan of this place can't believe I've never tried it!!…read more Their spring rolls are fresh, and the bun rieu was soo tasty. The broth was great and it had a lot of fillings as well. We also ordered the house special broken rice and everything tasted good in that too. They were really accommodating for our large group and put tables together for us. There's plenty of seats inside so we didn't need to wait. Service was also really quick, food came out fast. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes!

Great to have Vietnamese cuisine out here. Me and the fam stopped by on our way to lake Jennings…read more The owner was very kind and sweet. She was super helpful. We ordered the pho dac biet which is their house special and some banh mi. It was authentic, although I wish they had pâté on it. The pho broth was clean and yummy it had shrimp along with some meat. I'd recommend it since it's their house special!

Seemed unsanitary as they looked dirty like they were used and put back. Tables weren't cleaned. Drinks come in very small cups. My daughter enjoyed her vegetable pho. I did not enjoy the tofu and noodles I ordered. I thought the noodles were large not skinny and the tofu tasted and felt like wet scrambled eggs. Wanted crispy tofu but it is very soggy and unflavored. Vegetables were soggy and overcooked. I didn't eat my food and told the lady at the register it was not what was expected and I didn't want it. She did not care or attempt to offer something else. I paid and threw away the food. Waste of money.

Saigon Star

Saigon Star is the standard. Period. This is the best pho…read moreI've had -- not just "good," not just "solid" -- the best. Every time I think about trying another pho spot, I don't. Why would I downgrade? THE BÁNH MÌ BREAD IS REALLY CRISPY (NOT SOGGY). some of the less-than-5-star reviews are @#%% RIDICULOUS! People complain about the smallest, most ridiculous things. One night I was having dinner there and a "KAREN" was complaining because the credit card machine temporarily wasn't working. What exactly were they supposed to do -- magically fix technology on the spot? s**** happend! Meanwhile, another guy stepped in trying to calm the situation down and be the peacemaker. Honestly, that moment said more about the complaining than it did about the restaurant. Maybe I should leave a review on the behavior of some customers instead. This isn't fast food -- this is culture, tradition, and hard work! I love Vietnamese people in general and employ some of them . Their families take pride in what they do, and it shows.!!! If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Vietnamese food made with care, this is it. I'll keep coming back. Every time.

Love coming to Saigon star for a quick and easy dinner in my neighborhood. I've ate here many times…read moreand the food and service are both always consistent. The pho broth is well flavored, not too fatty or greasy, the noodles are always cooked perfectly and they do not hold back when it comes to the serving of meat in your bowl. The ambiance is really cute and homey as well. There's always many people eating but it's never packed/never has a wait. There servers are always so sweet. They come by to check on you and as soon as your water is empty they bc old around with a new one.

It also came with a lot of things on the side like some Vietnamese meats, bean sprouts, mung bean cake, cucumbers, etc which made the dish feel complete! I could see some people thinking this dish is bland, but I honestly love more mild flavors like this, and the fish sauce it comes with definitely adds a lot of flavor. The banh mi chao is a dish I've had many times before, and the one here was great! Came with all the usual toppings, and the baguette that came with it was nice and fluffy. Coffee here was yummy and a good price. I thought the banh cuon was also a good price at the time, but after a few months of going around to different Vietnamese places, I've found that you can find the same quality for much cheaper. Still would recommend checking this spot out though! Super helpful workers when I had lots of questions and a nice homey vibe inside.

Stopped by Thien Huong in Mira Mesa and thought it was just okay overall…read more I came specifically to try the bun cuon, but it ended up being a bit underwhelming. The texture was good and it seemed freshly made, but the overall flavor felt pretty bland and lacked the depth I was hoping for. It wasn't bad by any means, just not particularly memorable. The standout for me was the bo ne. The sizzling beef was much more flavorful and satisfying, and it ended up being the dish I enjoyed most during the meal. It arrived hot, had good seasoning, and felt like the stronger menu item between the two. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I'd consider coming back for the bo ne, but I probably wouldn't order the bun cuon again. Overall, a decent spot if you're in the area, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

5 Stars - A Must-Visit Vietnamese Gem! I can't say enough good things about this wonderful Vietnamese restaurant! My boyfriend Sean and I have been regulars here for a while, and every visit feels like a treat, thanks to Bobby, one of the owners. Bobby is incredibly personable, welcoming, and always ready with great recommendations on what to choose from the menu. He even takes the time to educate us on how to properly enjoy Vietnamese cuisine, especially pho. On one visit, Sean had the oxtail pho, and we were blown away by the depth of the broth. It was so flavorful that there was no need to add any extra ingredients--simply perfect as it was. I opted for the beef vermicelli, and it was equally impressive. The veggies were super fresh, and the beef slices were cooked to perfection, with just the right thickness. They also didn't skimp on the portions, which we appreciated. On another occasion, we tried the beef stew with baguette, and it was divine. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was rich and hearty, definitely not watered down. We also had the sizzling combination, which includes egg, pork meatball, beef, and cow cheese, all served with a baguette. It was absolutely delicious. We also can't forget to mention the pork patty rolls. They were a perfect appetizer--so good and crunchy. Definitely another great option besides the fresh spring rolls. Every time we visit, Bobby welcomes us with his infectious enthusiasm and friendliness. The entire staff, including his business partners, cooks, and other staff members, are just as wonderful. The service here is exceptional, which, combined with their fresh and delicious food, makes for an outstanding dining experience. If you're looking for a Vietnamese restaurant with not just amazing food but also top-notch service, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! read more

I had such a wonderful experience here! The pho was absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful broth with fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked noodles. You can really taste the care that goes into every bowl. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. My food came out quickly, and the staff made sure I had everything I needed. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and inviting -- perfect for a casual meal or a comforting bowl of soup on a chilly day. Overall, one of the best pho spots I've been to. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Streets Pho & Grill in the Santee Town Center is an absolute must-try! We had an incredible meal and were delighted with every dish. The star of the show was the oxtail soup--it was truly delicious, rich, and so satisfying. We also couldn't get enough of the salt and pepper chicken wings, which were perfectly crisp, seasoned just right, and utterly addictive. Even the drinks were fantastic; both the iced tea was freshly brewed. The service was wonderful throughout our visit, making for a perfect dining experience. We can't wait to go back! read more

Probably the best pho I've had in years. We've been trying out a few places in El Cajon/Santee and this one is by far the best. Very friendly staff. I've noticed they always bring out a little juice boxes for the kids so I thought that was neat. And above all super clean establishment. read more
