"Head to this Kearny Mesa spot for comforting Vietnamese fare, especially the highly praised phở. Laid-back and relaxed, the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere draws in local families, solo visitors, and friends for its savory, aromatic broth simmered with bones and star anise for hours. Most visitors ask for the phở filet mignon, but the house special is just as satisfying and served with slices of rare and well-done steak, brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe. Add a side of tender, stewed beef ribs for extra protein. There’s also a seafood variation packed with shrimp, squid, imitation crab, and vegetables." - Roxana Becerril
