Pho 4 Queen, San Marcos CA

Great local Pho place in San Marcos. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional.

I love it. The best pho I have ever tried. My son refuses to eat at other pho restaurants! He just eats Pho from this restaurant and I don't blame him, their Pho Broth is delicious, the Spring Rolls, steak cubes, fried rice, and noodles with seafood are amazing.

The food and service was outstanding. As soon as we got there we got a "Hello, welcome, " and right away we got seated. I ordered the #6 beef and rice which was indescribable delicious and my mother ordered the #4 chicken and rice, she loved it. My brother and my nephew's got Pho chicken soup which warmed them up right away. My brother also ordered Spring rolls that included white rice, shrimp, pork, and lettuce which was unforgettable goodness. 5 Star Service is the reason we will come back for sure.

Place is clean and neat. Menu list and pricing is outdated. I ordered the house pho thinking it might be well rounded but it was missing meatball, the beef meat was a bit too fatty from what I'm accustomed at other pho places. The belly tougher than normal. The noodles were cut and were a very small portion. Not the best pho I've had really, below average I would say.

I also ordered the Calamari because it looked very interesting in the menu presentation but was also a total disappointment. The thing was super salty, no matter how much lime I threw at it, or how much I dipped it in the sweet sauce, the salt was eating my tongue. I did talk to the owner about it and he did say next time order it with less salt lol so I will leave no less than a 3 star, because at least there's flexibility, but food was a 2 for sure.

Service was alright, 7/10. The owner or front desk gentleman took my order pretty fast, but when I ordered coffee he failed to tell me that they did not serve hot coffee, when in the menu it did say hot or cold. So he brought me a cold brew coffee, when I asked for hot he seemed bothered and said they didn't serve any and he could very well take it back. To which he did. Other than that he was courteous, they do have Hot Oil or Hot paste in the kitchen, you just have to order it to the waiter.

I spent total of $28, would of been $33 with the coffee.

Bon appetit

Had a delicious homemade Pho! The beef sandwich was amazingly tasty. Will be back soon.
