I ordered a rare beef pho on UberEATS, but the beef is sooooooo hard.
The beef doesn't have ANY FAT.so it is like rubber. Well but it looks fresh at least.

I have been going here for years. I think I have tried almost everything I have wanted to taste, and I have finished every plate. You won't be disappointed.

Delicious Vietnamese food with a dedicated vegetarian section on the menu. Service was great. Portions are large

The food tastes as if its a day old one too many times. Its also a bit more on the expense side and doesn't live up to its price

I have been ordering lunch from here for awhile via Uber eats. I get the sandwiches. They started out pretty good but the quality is falling. They hardly put any meat in the sandwiches now. I guess they are trying to cut costs. Suggestion is to take your price up a bit and provide an appropriate amount of meat. Otherwise you are making a subpar product. I’ll order again in the future and if the meat portion is adequate I’ll adjust this review.

Worst service ever!
55 mins no pho.people where sat 40 mins after us still got their pho.
Sat down to two already drank waters.didn't get new ones
then sent our egg rolls to wrong table.

It was lunch and busy but clearly they forgot us
Ignored us
We watched 3 table come and go while we were waiting
A table of 5 was sat 20 mins after us and all were served before us just 2 people

Soooo disappointed
No apologies.just terrible service
Even if your busy.we were patient! Also paid for our Thai teas that took almost 20mins
No apologies.just rude

This used to be reliably 5 stars but they seem to have gotten a new cook. We went here today and it was just disgusting. The Pnomh Penh soup was just awful. The pork pho was just tasteless. The bun bo hue (beef soup) had no beef taste and was missing the herbs. Everything was just amazingly salty with no taste. It's really sad because this has been a reliable place for so long and suddenly it's the worst pho I've ever had (and I've had hundreds of pho if not thousands).

This is an unfortunate tale. By far the most expensive bowl of pho that I've ever bought and tasted the worst I've ever experienced. The broth tasted like water and had absolutely no flavor. The meat was dry and crumbled before you even had a chance to eat it. Would not recommend.

I hope I get the chance to revise this review in the future because I want to like this place. The food is good but the service is so bad and slow that overall it only gets 2 stars. Please get organized and you have the potential to be a 5 star restaurant.

I came here for the great reviews, honestly, after having the bun bo hue, I am going to say the reviews are fake. The broth was virtually flavorrless. I told the server and asked if it was normally this boring. He said yes. I was in shock.

This is my first pho in San Diego. I'm going to advise everyone to stay clear of this place.

I was expecting a rich broth full of Vietnamese nuances, but instead, I got a watered down version of yesterday"s broth.

Now I'm stuck eating this nastiness. I ️️️ pho, but this is not it I should have known better to sit down at an empty place.

Final words: STAY CLEAR of this place!

Good spot for pho in the Clairemont neighborhood, our new go to place. The rare steak pho substitute with spicy broth was the best I have had in San Diego.

Amazing place with amazing Pho! They also have vegetarian dishes which makes it a great place to go with all your friends especially those on a plant based diet!
The big bowl of Pho, it's worthy, delicious, crispy veggies, spicy and the broth is an absolute delight! Everything we ordered was great and fast.
Can't wait for our next trip to visit this place again!

I'm no liar, this place is fire.
Nothing but love for the food desired.
Clock-in clock-out new day same taste.
Lookin' forward to the weekend gotta make my haste
To the Pho Hut & Grill and get my fill.
P1 potstickers hot tea and chill.
This restaurant deserves more than just a review.
It's all true in my purview on Balboa Avenue.

For real tho, this place is delicious.

Love Vietnamese food, but this was just ok. Had vermicelli with grilled shrimp and portion size was good, shrimp could have been better.

I got food from here for the first time in life and I'm wondering why I didn't sooner! Called ahead for pickup and it was ready in 15 minutes as promised. The fresh spring rolls with shrimp only were delicious and the chicken wings with the sauce were other worldly! I wanted to order it again today but I'll hold off. So glad I found this spot close to home!

I walked in to order and the moment they saw I was black everything changed, it’s a shame that I get stereotyped by the color of my skin, I didn’t even order because it felt so hostile, literally every person in the restaurant that worked there gave me the dirtiest look

Super tasty shaken beef but a little light on the beef. Pho was super flavorful, but a little cold when we got it. Overall would love to come back and try in person.
