Pho Leo & Grill

We were immediately sat, they have a large menu that is divided it's easy to read category Vietnamese coffee was a 10/10 hit, super strong and not too sweet Thai tea was not sweet enough for our taste but, you can really never go wrong Appetizers: calamari amazing, pork sausage spring roll good and it came with a pretty good sauce Pho Leo bowl was the largest bowl of Pho I've ever had, and it was flavorful. About 4-5 different types of meat and a LARGE tender rib Wonton noodle soup, wontons were good but only came with 3-4 wontons. They were decent sized so it didn't feel like we were skimped on anything. The broth wasn't as flavorful as the pho but still comforting and tasty. The egg noodles were cooked perfectly! Overall will come back, there's lots of seating and would be perfect for dinner parties! They have party pack options in the back of the menu

Good, standard pho spot for a quick bite of pho. Thr noodles seemed a little softer than I would have liked, also more meat. The iced coffee came pre-made, Im more fond of the standard drip at the table and mix the condensed milk at the bottom of a cup filled with ice. The broth was very tasty and it smelled delicious from the moment it was set in front of me. Overall, pretty happy with my choices

Restaurant is very nice and spacious. I was with 10 people and we were not squeezed in like other restaurants. The menu had a lot of options (not just pho and rice). They even have vegetarian options. Food was good and were big portions!! Drink that stood out to me was the dirty Thai Tea. Must try!

Ordered the steak on a hot plate, was expecting steak on a hot plate but got some kind of soupy thing with a weird tasting sauce. I love eating at Vietnamese restaurants and I don't know why I had such a terrible experience here. I came here with my husband and only because the place we usually go that is across the street was so busy we had to wait probably 20-30 mins and my husband did not want to wait. My husband tried my entree too and he also was not impressed. He ordered me something else because he felt bad and we got the BBQ chicken and broken rice (my other favorite dish). It was not that great either. Maybe because I eat at Pho Point Loma so much I can't go to any other pho place because I compare everyone to them, they have the best fastest and friendliest service and they already know what I want to order. The service was not the friendliest either. The guy who walked us to the table just threw the menus on the table and walked away before we even got there. We had to keep asking for water and napkins because they don't come by to check on you which is bizarre in a restaurant. Our server looked unhappy and her demeanor was not the friendliest. You can get away with bad food and good service, but not bad food and bad service. You decided to open across the street from the most delicious pho place I've ever had and I will never understand why. Please do better for your sake. I will share images of your dish vs theirs, I meant to take a photo before eating it but didn't think about it. The photo with the quail egg is Pho Leo, the other one is Pho Point Loma.

Food and service is good here. The restaurant is clean and beautiful. We came during the Superbowl, so it was not busy. I'm glad the restaurant owner doesn't offer free drink for good reviews like other restaurants do which I really don't like as customers don't give honest reviews.

Finally tried this place after passing by it so many times since I usually stick to my go-to Vietnamese spot. I’m glad I stopped in because they offer dishes I don’t see at my regular place. The eggrolls came with two small pieces of lettuce and when I asked for extra, they were happy to bring more. The lemongrass beef stir-fry was tender, flavorful, and really well done. The servers were on top of everything, too.

This is my new go-to place for vietnamese food. The restaurant itself is really spacious and what makes it stand out is the open concept grill center. It's really cool to watch the chef grill food while you're waiting. I ordered pho because its been raining and nothing is better than a bowl of pho on a rainy San Diego day. The broth was really good and the bowl was a very decent size. Service was amazing, food was great, and vibes were good. Can't wait to try all the other items on the menu.

The tea was delicious. The meat was fall off the bone tender. The freshness of the food, the clean and beautiful atmosphere, highly recommend. 10/10

This place is so good, we had such a good dinner. Service was amazing and fast, they were very nice. The environment was nice on the inside and outside. Highly Recommended!!!

We have tried several Vietnamese places and keep coming back to Pho Leo. The building is well kept and the whole place is incredibly clean with plenty of tables. Staff have always been helpful and patient with any questions about menu items. Not once have we been rushed with ordering or pushed out the door. The pho broth has never been cloudy and everything we've had (dine-in and takeout) has been incredible. Tonight we had Linh as our server and she went above and beyond tonight -- incredible! We can't recommend this place enough!

First time at Pho Leo and will come again. Ordered the bun bo hue which was surprisingly really good, it's really hard to find good bbh in SD. The broth was flavorful and the meat was so soft and tender. Have to note that it was not spicy at all which is perfect for me but might not be for some. They have chili oil on the side that you can add in though. The others in my party ordered pho and com tam which were also really good. They said the meat was also soft and tender. Good flavor to the com tam too. They have fresh noodles (banh tuoi) which I really like. Servers were nice and quick, didn't even get annoyed when we started asking them for extra toppings haha. Place is spacious and nicely decorated. Would come again.

Fire asf ... ask for chili oil, i think they make in house. Staff is friendly. Place is clean.

We came here for a much needed pho after a music festival and they did not disappoint! I ordered the build your own pho with three toppings and it was a very reasonable price. It came with a lot of noodles though. Server was a nice man and refilled our waters through the whole meal. So healing--I would definitely come back if I'm in San Diego.

Big, spacious restaurant, with plenty of parking. As quickly walked into thus bright and beautifully decorated spot. Seated immediately and offeredbuced water. We ordered the pho combo and spring rolls. Let's just say norcal viet food smokes socal viet food.

Point Loma remains undefeated for having trash food. Pho Leo is a nice restaurant, servers were friendly, food came out super quick but food was not even good, flavorless.

I came back for their rice dish. By the look at this plate it looks underwhelming but I was full at the end. The pork was freshly grilled and well marinated. The tofu skin was very crispy and delicious. The meatloaf was good and I wanted more at the end. I wish I had more fish sauce but that's okay. Their pickled cauliflower amazed me. Worth the trip.

First impression of the interior was well received. Spacious, open, accommodating all different groups of guests and extremely welcoming and clean restrooms. Ordering was fast and the service was great! The food was great as well. I ordered the salt & pepper wings, cooked thoroughly. Fried rice with steak, was tasty and cooked thoroughly it was also great when I reheated it for leftovers. My partner had Pho with brisket and rib. My mother had Pho with just brisket. Large portions and worth the price! We all shared the egg rolls & I can confirm that this place cooks fresh, hot and steamed food. Light and airy but full is how we left. We are very pleased with this establishment & will return!

Pho Leo and Grill in the Point Loma area of San Diego opened earlier this year. Located in a renovated building with free parking in the lot was convenient. The restaurant is bigger, better and newer than the average pho restaurants in SD. Upon entry, I chose to sit by the big bay window. Overall, the restaurant appeared clean with clean menus. My order was taken quickly. But when a larger group of diners who arrived way after Me received their order first, I wasn't happy and was about to walk out. Good thing, I didn't leave, since my order was presented shortly after. The pho with brisket, two beef rib bones, and grilled prawns all looked good. As usual I was only interested in the broth, which tasted wonderful even without chili oil or any spices. I only added the fresh cut herbs on top to settle in a little and release its aromatic scents to the broth. I had sipped about half the bowl of broth and had the server package the rest TOGO. I should eat all that meat, as I'm deficient in Iron, maybe have a little later. My pup Fendi loves the beef brisket and beef rib bone which I will cut into small pieces and add a few to her meal, for later. Service by the young male staffers was professional, attentive and nice. They were fascinated that I'm from Beverly Hills in LA. They asked if I visited during the grand opening, to which I replied No, because it seemed like it would be too crowded with lots free loading people, he laughed in agreement. During cloudy cold weather, I always want a hot bowl of soup which I will not and could not prepare myself. Pho soup requires preparing lots fresh ingredients and cooking it for hours...which I don't have the time or the inclination to do. While this pho broth is not the absolute best, it still tasted wonderful enough to soothe and warm me up with its herbaceous scents...and for this reason, makes Pho Leo worth a visit. Recommend

I came here after picking up some music at Record City and was in the mood for a vermicelli bowl. I got the pork and egg roll bowl and started off with the sausage roll as an appetizer. Five stars because the woman who took my order realized my bowl had bean sprouts in it when I asked to have it without. I was willing to take it at is, but she went back to fix it. Five stars also because the gentleman who took payment was kind not just to me but to other patrons. I heard him over ask if they had any question about the menu, and he brought chopsticks out to another guest. Really great food. Awesome service. AND easy parking which can be tough in SD. Cheers!

The dining area was clean and very spacious. The service was quick and the staff was friendly and attentive. Filled our waters and checked on us. The food was great. We got the egg rolls, Short Rib Pho, Beef Banh Mi, and the loaded fries. We will definitely be coming back again!

The C5 with chicken was very good, so good, in fact, that I've already been back a second time. The service here is reliable, and the restaurant's interior is new, fresh, and clean. My friend, who joined me on my first visit, mentioned the food is quite authentic, and I agree it was both delicious and interesting. (The photos are from that first visit). I did notice the portions seemed a bit smaller on my second trip, but the quality was still excellent. This place is definitely worth checking out.

This place is new and still needs work out some kinks. Food was ok, nothing super good that's calling me back. I've have better pho. The bbq chicken vermicelli was so underwhelming. Chicken was dry and hard. Sad for a place with Grill in its name. The whole bowl need flavor. Not enough fish sauce and didn't get peanuts. It was slimy the next day so didn't even try to eat leftovers since it didn't taste great the first day. Happy hour menu looked reasonable but nothing tasted great. Can't go wrong with the friend chicken wings but tasted kinda gamey. The worse part was server spilled a lot of hot pho broth on my husband's lap as she tried to place the bowl on the table. She brought a wet kitchen towel with ice. No offer to comp his bowl or bring him a drink or dessert. Glad it was my husband and not one of the kids. The place is big and clean. Lots of parking. Hoping they improve but plenty of other Vietnamese places around that I'll go to before I go back.

Arrived around 10am for an early lunch. We were greeted upon entry. Party of 3 adults and 2 kids. This place is enormous there's plenty of table and booths. My husband ordered spring rolls and grilled pork sausage with a broken rice grilled pork plate. I ordered the pho special and my aunt ordered a chicken banh. Took about 15-20 for our orders to arrive. Strange that my husband's plate didn't come with an egg compared to other pho restaurants and he said the fish sauce was a bit light but the grilled pork was tender and delicious. The pho was okay the broth was a bit light but they were generous with the toppings you can also choose the regular noodles or fresh. The spring rolls tasted fresh. Resturant is clean and the staff friendly.

I came here for dinner the other night since I was in the area and saw that it was new. As I entered, I was greeted by one of the wait staff and was surprised at how large the restaurant was. It had an open layout, lots of seating and an open kitchen (in my experience, you don't see much of this at pho restaurants). The restaurant was very clean and I saw multiple people cleaning tables very promptly. All of the staff there were very attentive and friendly and our table was never dirty and our water glasses always full. On to the food - the menu has a good amount of options and they have some happy hour specials as well. I stuck to some of my favorites, including the fresh spring rolls which definitely were fresh and filled with shrimp and pork. Of course I have to get pho and chose the 'build your own' option with brisket and rare beef and the house noodles which were a little different than the classic, but still good. The broth was rich and the portion was pretty large. The second entree was the vermicelli with egg roll and chicken. Also a large portion, however would've like another egg roll. Conclusion: Good restaurant and great service, also good for groups!

I ordered the P3 Pho from the menu, it came with a lot of meet and was very good. The spring rolls were also very good. The service was prompt. The ambiance was cheerful with Christmas music playing in the background.

Food: Phở Short Rib (10/10) - The phở came with two big short ribs that were tender and flavorful. I chose the soft noodles instead of the regular ones, and they reminded me of phở in Vietnam. The broth was flavorful without being too salty. Overall, it was a solid bowl of phở. Broken Rice Combo B with Pork Chop (6.5/10) - Veggies were good, meat loaf was standard, broken rice was tasty, and the pork chop was okay. The pork chop was a bit dry and lacked that grilled, smoky taste and aroma, but it still had flavor and wasn't bad. Create Your Phở with Rare ribeye, Brisket, Tripe (8/10) - The broth had an authentic taste of bone broth. It was balanced and flavorful, not too salty, and everything came together nicely. Grilled Pork Roll (9/10) - It was a unique take on a spring roll that I've never tried before. The pork was flavorful, and the spring roll paired really well with the dipping sauce. Tri-Beans Dessert (10/10) - It was loaded with toppings like red beans, mung bean paste, and pandan jelly. It was refreshing and came in a generous portion. Nice sweet dessert to have! Service: The staff were super friendly and helpful, and they even spoke to my parents in Vietnamese when needed. We had a welcoming experience. Ambiance: The restaurant is huge and spacious with plenty of seating. It has a casual, relaxed vibe type of Vietnamese restaurant.

Been eating here since it first opened and it never disappoints. I love how they have Vietnamese dishes that you don't typically find at normal pho restaurants. It reminds me a lot of OC noodle houses which is super rare here in national city. That's why I'll drive up to eat here. The area is so clean and spacious. There's also ample parking spaces. Staff has always been friendly and food comes out super fresh and quick. We've tried a range of their appetizers, soups, rice dishes, and banh mi's and we haven't found something we didn't like. Everything's really delicious. Hopefully they can bring more authentic seafood dishes into their menu and other viet dishes! Try this place out.

Service was very welcoming and friendly. The space is clean and spacious where seating is ample. They also have a grill center in the middle of the restaurant so you can see the food being freshly grilled to tantalize the sense. I tried both the Pho with 2 ribs and the grilled pork chop broken rice dish with meatloaf. The pho broth was a bit on the bland for me where it was missing the spice depth that I was looking for, but still a very comforting pho dish. They offer choice of regular noodles or fresh. I opted for the fresh and found that it got bloated quicker so I would recommend the regular noodles. The beef ribs were huge and fall off the bone tender. It was bit on the gristlier side. My favorite dish was definitely the pork chop broken dish where the pork chop was marinated deliciously and it had an amazing char flavor from the grill. I also really liked the meatloaf which was surprisingly on the airy side where it was not too dense with good flavors. I would come back just for the broken dish plates where I want to try the grilled beef ribs next time!!

I came here for take out and I was highly impressed by their salt and pepper wings! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The inside is very clean and spacious. I will be back to dine in in the future.

I was craving Vermicelli noodles and remembered about Pho Leo. As soon as you walk in the place feels open a you can see the waiters are happy and have a smile in their face. We were greeted and sat right away. The menu is not big which I love because you know everything will be good! We ordered the Vermicelli plate with and egg roll and added shrimp and the broken rice plate ( pictured). The good came out fast! The Vermicelli plate was good! The egg roll tasted different than what im used to but in a good way! The broken rice plate the same... food was tasty and very filling. The restaurant was not too full but not once did I notice the servers sitting or standing, they were always checking on the tables to make sure we were ok. If you're in the area stop by, there is something for everyone!

I'd give it a one star but I know those sometimes somehow disappear. Space is clean, but that's the only redeeming quality about this place and there are MANY other delicious Vietnamese options to choose from in this area. Not only did they get my order wrong multiple times, they didn't make any attempt at good customer service. I asked for my food to go because the experience was so awful and they made me pack it up myself - I guess maybe normal but it felt like adding injury to insult. On the taste note, everything was bland and slightly off. My nem nuong cuon was also burned and I could taste the more than chargrilled flavor. It was inedible. Just go somewhere else. Examples: Pho Point Loma & Grill or The Pho Shop.

Came to Pho Leo & Grill in Point Loma for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! Plenty of parking, which is always a plus. At first we were a little skeptical because the restaurant has such a modern look, we weren't sure if the flavors would be authentic. We ordered the beef bone pho and the grilled pork chop rice plate, and everything was excellent. The broth had depth and richness, the kind you want in a good pho, and the pork chop was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive too, which made the whole experience even better. Best part? My dad, who is a true Vietnamese man and definitely picky about his pho, gave his stamp of approval. That says a lot! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Had lunch here with the family and loved it! The space is super clean, spacious, and welcoming. The pho was flavorful, and the broken rice with BBQ chicken was delicious. Service was fantastic our server even brought out a coloring sheet and pencil for the kids, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be back!

A long vacant Chinese buffet in the Midway District is now the home of a new Vietnamese restaurant. Pho Leo & Grill debuted in the middle of last month with a 50% discount offered during its soft opening weekends. The staff severely underestimated the initial customer demand as we tried to visit for a Saturday lunch and was told the wait for a table would be at least an hour. We decided to leave because one of our friends who was already seated with her party had waited over an hour and a half to get their correct food order!! When I returned on a weekday evening a few weeks ago, the place was less than 1/4 full. Parking was ample in the lot to the east of the building because the fast food joint in that section was closed for business. The dining capacity was huge and had to be over 100 because it used to seat that many for an AYCE buffet. Along the back of the room was a long window to the kitchen preparation area in which you could observe the cooks grilling various proteins. The menu was split between two laminated pages. One sheet listed the pho and broken rice. There were seven choices for the former and five choices for the latter. Appetizers, noodles, and vermicelli made up the other sheet. There were six, three, and one selection for each of these categories. I don't know if there are plans to expand the offerings because it seemed limited compared to other local pho eateries. For my meal, I started with the Spring Rolls which came as a pair. Each roll was stuffed with pork, shrimp, rice vermicelli, lettuce, bean sprouts, and mint inside a rice paper wrap. The size of the rolls and the peanut sauce for dipping were comparable to elsewhere. A bowl of the Vermicelli with Grilled Pork was my entree. Cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, bean sprouts, and pickled vegetables accompanied the rice noodles and pork inside the bowl. A cup of fish sauce was provided on the side to pour into the vessel. I found the quantity of meat to be ample, but I wanted more noodles for the base. The speed of service and accuracy of making my order were on point which was a welcome sight given the operational difficulties they experienced during their early days. The average rating of my two trips to Pho Leo & Grill was at a three star level.

My boyfriend and I would frequent Pho Point Loma (right across the street) as it's been there for years but it's nice to see more asian businesses pop up especially in the Point Loma area where there is barely any asian options as is. Upon entering we were surprised to see how huge this place is. However, the menu is very small. It's only one sheet front and back. Considering the size of this place I would think maybe their menu would offer more. We got the pho and dry egg noodles. The pho broth was very interesting. I can't quite put my tongue on it but it has a strong star anise flavor yet it is very light. The egg rolls were good but the portion was small. My egg noodles were also good however I felt the portion was small. The prices are average for the area. Not cheap by any means. I also got their homemade boba tea. If you love sugary drinks this is right up your alley (I enjoyed it very much). You can tell whoever made this place put their heart and soul into the restaurant. All the little touches show that they care. The servers were all young which is different from most viet places that usually have the older folks serving the food. It feels young, fresh, and a little hip. Overall, this place isn't by any means the best Vietnamese food in SD but it's good for the Point Loma area!

Finally tried this place after passing by it so many times since I usually stick to my go-to Vietnamese spot. I'm glad I stopped in because they offer dishes I don't see at my regular place. The eggrolls came with two small pieces of lettuce and when I asked for extra, they were happy to bring more. The lemongrass beef stir-fry was tender, flavorful, and really well done. The servers were on top of everything, too.

New just recently opened good location lots of parking huge dining area with booths and table style seatings. Staff welcoming and helpful with menu items. Started with Spring Roll that had shrimp, pork , vermicelli and veggies with a good dipping sauce. Vermicelli with grilled pork and egg roll it was a good size portion that will fill you up and the flavors delicious. Dirty Thai Tea yes! It's Thai tea with a float of coffee on top so you get both in one iced drink yummy . Condiments at the table hoisin sauce , sriracha and chili sauce spicy and good Dining experience great! Will certainly return and please have Mango Sticky Rice :)

I visited Pho Leo for the soft opening. They offered 50% for the weekend. I ordered the Broken Rice Leo combination plate. Broken rice was room temperature and had low moisture content. Mild flavor was ok. Soup had green onions in it and had a nice flavor. I prefer soup with meat and veggies in it. Pork rib was tender with nice char and I liked the smoky flavor. Pork chop was cut thin and had a nice smoky flavor. What I didn't like about the 2 meats is they were marinated in some kind of sauce with garlic in it and I tasted quite a bit of garlic. Server was nice and provided very good service.

My family and I recently tried out a new pho spot, even though we felt a little disloyal to our usual favorite! Here's a quick rundown of our experience: The service was incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. The staff was happy to joke around, teach us how to open chopsticks, and still had our food ready in no time. The menu is compact, but don't let that discourage you. They've truly mastered their craft! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. I especially liked the broth (yum!). We tried the pho special, fresh shrimp rolls, and egg rolls, and all of them were amazing--we had absolutely no complaints. The ambiance was gorgeous, clean, open, and very inviting. Something we noticed was that there were no TVs, which created no distractions and allowed for good conversation

(3/5 stars means solid, as expected) Update: the second day went much smoother since they made guests wait to be seated rather than seating all the open tables. We got both the egg and rice noodles dishes dry, meaning the soup came on the side. The toppings were the same and portion sizes were the same. The side soup was a pork broth and was good. (This pork soup is what should've came with the broken rice dish yesterday when they served with pho broth). Rice noodles hu tieu - note: the true meaning of hu tieu is a starch chewy noodle. This was not hu tieu, it was fresh pho noodle. The texture of fresh pho noodle is soft. This one was a little on bland side. Egg noodles mi - the sauce was way too salty and there was a giant clump in the egg noodles that was raw in the center. But I enjoyed the egg noodle texture way more than the rice noodle. I would recommend egg noodle between the 2 if you had to pick. But for $16.50, the noodle portions were too small. My senior parents have smaller appetites and even they were still hungry after. Bottom line: stick to the pho dishes since those are better flavor and better portion size for the price.

I love Vietnamese food, I've had it in Vietnam the 4 times I went, and countless times in Orange County, so I'm going to be constructive, because I want people to have an authentic experience. This restaurant took over a former Chinese AYCE located in midway near Point Loma and OB. It's been renovated and is beautifully decorated and modern now. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. We came at opening for their soft opening, so we were seated right away, however there was a line about 1 hour of waiting after opening. Our waitress took our order and the phở came out in about 15 minutes. Our broken rice came out about 45 minutes later after we had to ask about it. The egg rolls were crispy and flavorful with plenty of filling. We ordered multiple different phở. The phở broth is very sweet, more than I'm used too, but it was overall flavorful. The bánh phở (noodles) were very chewy and firm. The beef rib was tender, moderately beefy, but very under seasoned. My wife's special phở was missing one of the meats and my broken rice Leo was missing some of the meats spelled out in the menu. We didn't know about this until we went home and reviewed the menu. See my pictures. Maybe it was due to this being a soft opening, but they still seem to be working out the kinks. Since it's half off right now, I'll give them a pass, but once they fully open, I hope they fix the little hiccups.

A new, spacious restaurant in Point Loma. We waited a week after their grand opening to try it, and unfortunately, this establishment was an extreme disappointment. It wasn't too busy when we visited for lunch. There were plenty of employees, yet, the service still wasn't up-to-par. I understand that it's new but employees should know what's on the menu and what's being served. When we placed our order, we had the server confirm what was asked. And, the order still arrived at the table wrong. When the food runner delivered our order, he didn't know what he was delivering. He wasn't confident on what he was placing on the table and stood there with gloved hands on his hips and shrugged shoulders. So, that basically caused 3/4 of our table to eat the wrong meal. By the time we each took our first bites, we realized the bowls were all mixed up. There's a few different pho options, and everyone at the table chose the "create your pho" option, including a choice of fresh or regular noodles. So if you're opting for that, you may want to actually toss/mix the bowl to confirm that it's your bowl before eating. We also had a broken rice with chicken plate that we asked to make sure no pork was included. Once again, the server confirmed no pork and what happened? The plate had fried pork bits with scallion on top of the rice. So, for the ones who cannot eat pork, please triple check. There's also not many choices for a vegetarian either. So, heads up. The pho broth is on the sweeter side. Nothing wrong with a sweet pho because some regions are like so but the flavor wasn't that great. It was underwhelming. The only good thing about it was the noodles option, that's it. As for the rice plate, the chicken was flavorful and grilled nicely. It came with a side of pickled vegetables that were barely pickled. Would it leave you craving more? Absolutely not. Drinks came after the food order. Homemade fruit teas served in a bottle that wasn't chilled. Togo ice cup was requested and delivered without a lid. Peach tea, fresh lemonade, and salty preserved plum with club soda drinks all not in our favor. Overall, a waste of money. There's definitely better pho places in the area.

I ordered a Thai tea, which was delicious, and the Short Rib Pho. The short rib was tender and literally sliding off the bone! The portion was big and I did not finish the whole bowl. The service was quick but the server was not particularly friendly. He was abrupt and very straight to the point. So it was not bad service but not excellent service, either. It just wasn't "warm" service. The ambiance seemed more on the casual side. I'd consider going back if I was in the mood for more pho.

I had the chance to try this spot during their friends and family night, and it's safe to say I'll be coming back! I ordered the rice plate with short rib, and it was absolutely amazing. The ribs were perfectly cooked tender and juicy. What really stood out was the homemade fish sauce that came with the dish. It paired beautifully with everything on the plate and brought all the flavors together. They also pickle their own carrots and daikon which balanced the flavors of the meat. Portions were generous without being overwhelming. The interior was spacious compared to most pho restaurants. Perfect place for small and large groups. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the food here. Excited to come back and try more items on the menu next time!

Finally fresh noodle pho in San Diego!!!! :''') TLDR: different from most pho places in SD and 100% worth a try! Unique items and hard to find ingredients I came for the soft opening because I heard they have a com tam grill and I was suuuuper interested! The place is gigantic, tons of space and seating, perfect for huge groups. It was their soft opening so they were still getting used to service and had only a few menu items available. Pho Ribs: super solid pho but with FRESH NOOOODLE. I have been on the hunt for fresh noodle pho for years, pretty sure this is the first place in SD to have it. If you love pho, def come try it. I've only had fresh noodle in Vietnam and Bay area, so suuuuper happy theres one here!! They also had rice patty herb on the side! Com Tam: they have a full on visible GRILL where you can watch them grill your meats!! I've never seen that before here in the US!! They also pickle their own veggies, including pickled cauliflower which was unique and a game changer! Their fish sauce was super spicy, just how i like it lmao. DEF try the crab cake, was sooo tasty. Compared to most pho places here, i feel like this place brought really unique items to their menu, making them stand out a lot more. I've been to a lot of pho places but this us the first time in a while that a place made an impression on me

When you first go in the atmosphere and decorations were really really nice. So nice I could probably take a date there. The service was good and the food was ok. I feel like I judge them really badly because I eat hella pho so I'm too strict on my comments. The broth was a decent 7 out of 10. My mom said the broth should never be dark. I think it's cause all their types of meat the offer. The quality is good, but they had something I've never tried before. They have fresh made in house noodles. I definitely wanted to try that. In my opinion that were spectacular. It was soft and noodly. Yes, I made that word up but it was super yummy. You'll see from the pictures. I'll definitely go there, again. Very very decent pho. 4.5 stars.

YUMM New pho joint in San Diego! The space has a nice open concept layout with a clean and modern vibe, love the lighting. What really caught our eye were the two grills in the back, such a unique touch and fun to watch in action. Flame grilled meat is so nice to see. We ordered the pho with 2 rib bones and the com tam with 3 rib bones. The pho broth was deeply flavorful, and I loved the flat noodles, you don't see this often in San Diego. The rib bones added a nice richness, but if you're craving something more classic, I'd recommend going with the regular combination pho for that nostalgic, traditional experience. There's a specific herb Ngo Om that no pho restaurant has but this does, often used in Vietnam (autheticity points!). Every bowl is served piping hot, this is a huge plus. Their com tam dish here will be the go to dish for me. It came with a crab cake that swapped out the usual egg (cha trung) and wow, I could honestly eat five of them lol. You can really taste the crab in every bite. What tied the whole dish together was their house fish sauce, spicy, tangy, with a hint of pineapple. I would consider buying a side of their sauce if it was an option. Chef Leo, came by our table and gave us a warm welcome. He even offered a quick tour of the space and shared insights about the food. You can tell he puts his heart into every dish. The restaurant is spotless, organized, and ran with care. It's a family business and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food in a welcoming and well designed space. We'll definitely be back! Lots of parking

This Pho place is delicious. The broth was flavorful and the short rib tender, it fell off the bone smoothly. Service was great, they treat you nice and asks how's everything constantly. There's many Pho places to choose from in this area but Pho Leo is a great one to eat at.

Just got in with my best friend and we going to see how things are presenting themselves. So far, hostess got us a seat in the booth on my request. No hello no smile like a robot and they (the robots) know how to smile. The server same thing took the order and come back pretty soon with our spring rolls. The way he put the plate with the rolls I though the rolls will fly off the serving plate. So now we waiting for the main course. I have ordered the Lemongrss chicken. Let's see how it goes. TTL. We'll food was not too bad. Bit salty, but I live. During our meal no one stopped and asked, how is the food. Hmmm... Place is very nice, but the server and hosted did not made a good impresion. I don't mean to complain but thats the truth since you paying $18.00 for a serving. That would be all. 4 stars is more that I was willing to give. Smile and enjoy the food, dont expect smiles. with Love Jaden.

3 months new. Staff were friendly and attentive! I got the rice and grilled pork which hit the spot. Gotta eat it with their special chili paste and fish sauce! The Vietnamesecoffee were good. Egg rolls only came in 3 , which tasted ok. The sandwich were flavorful! The place is very spacious and had a lot of seatings, I'm surprised to see it with so many people! We'd def come back!

I would give this place a 4 1/2 if it wasn't for the guy at the front who's always rude and unfriendly. I've been there twice. The food is good, but that guy is the worst. Everybody there is friendly except for him.

Overall very good. The place is quiet and welcoming, clean and the music is nice and chill. The food is fresh and arrived pretty quickly, we did get one of our appetizers late but the apologize in advance and even discounted it without asking.

Clean fast and incredible pho ! Will go back when we visit San Diego again! We are from vegas with so so many Vietnamese restaurants and this one is in top 3!!!!

The food was amazing and the meat was really tender and filled with flavor, the service was really good aswell because they brought out on a cart so you can see the amazing steam and you can almost smell the aroma. If you buy the "Phó Leo" you can just put your utensil in between the meat and bone and it'll just come off easily.

First time tried their Pho. For me, the soup lacked flavor that I did not smell the unique smell of the intricate seasonings. Maybe it was Chicken based sops and I am a big beef broth for Pho person. There was choices on the type of noodles. I tried the fresh noodle (or raw), and it was bigger version of noodles than I was used to. Overall though, I wanted to feel that feelings a good flavoraful spicy Pho, but unfortunately I didn't get one.

Broth was 7/10. ALOT of meat. Got the build your own with 3 meats for about 14 bucks. Fast service. Slightly salty broth. Enjoyed it.

We came here for late night eats after getting a recommendation from some friends. We both ordered pho bowls. Mine was with the short rib which was a humongous bone with alot of meat on one side of it:: Their pho broth was nice and hot and had good flavor. I think I enjoyed their fried egg rolls the best out of the whole meal.
