Phở Time - Vietnamese Fusion

I have been cravingBun Cha for quite some time, and it’s not easy to find a place that serves this dish well. I discovered Pho Time, and I must say, their Bún Chả is outstanding—the best I’ve had in San Diego. Their grilled sugar cane is top-notched. Will def be back!

My husband and I came yesterday for the first time, and our experiences were awesome! We normally order two different dishes everywhere we dine in. However, it was raining yesterday, so we decided to order two bowls of Pho. I got the "Hot Stone Bowl Pho," and he got the "Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon Pho" The Hot Stone Bowl was amazing! It came with Fresh Flat Rice Noodles, which is my favorite. The stone bowl kept the soup hot for a while, so the steak cooked nicely and evenly. The Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon was super delicious! I could taste the garlic flavor in the meat. We also ordered two coffees: Hue Sea Salt Coffee and Coconut Coffee. They are Vietnamese coffee for sure because they woke us up in an instant. We will come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended!

This was her first time eating here and we really enjoyed our meal! The prices are very reasonable. The portions are very large and the food was really yummy. The service was also extremely sweet towards us. The restaurant is quite large inside with lots of open ceiling space I highly recommend you trying this spot!

I had Phở Thố and I can't say it's good. The broth is boring. The portion is very small for the price. I have had much better Phở Thố in Santee. I also had Hà Nội Egg coffee and it's good. The owner said she used expresso coffee with fresh, pasteurized eggs so she could only offer this item for dine-in, not to go.

I always like coming here. The staff is familiar and helpful, polite, and friendly. The food is generally great — the pho is what you may expect, but the egg-rolls are always very fresh and crunchy (highly recommend using the sauce and peanut sauce because they are so hot when they arrive).

Clean, tasty, pleasant. Enjoyed the food, the low key late lunch vibes and the abundance of sunlight that poured thru their dining room. Beef pho broth was savory, the vermicelli bowl was fresh and flavorful. Would def eat there again.

Food was good and the service was exceptional. They have a large menu of selections. Clean and inviting atmosphere

We got the 02 beef pho, and it was a deep beef broth, but the noodles and beef were slightly overcooked. I have had better balanced pho elsewhere, but the depth of the broth was crazy. We also got the tofu spring roll, and that was good! They included mint.

Came for the grilled pork banh mi, soup, & soda lunch combo for only $10.25 and it was 10/10. Idk what they do to the bread but it was perfect toasty to soft and fresh ratio. Soup was hot and just the right amount. Restaurant is clean, would come again.

This was my first time trying this place and my first time trying pho ! Absolutely 100% recommend for anyone looking for a spot in Pacific Beach. The staff was so welcoming and kind and the service was quick. Portion size is great, I LOVED my food and will definitely be back !

Food and service was great, extremely happy with fresh food and freshly squeezed lemonade tea

This is definitely an SD hidden gem Fresh pho noodles, need I say more? We were greeted with great customer service. This is a family run restaurant and everyone was so kind and friendly As someone who eats most of their Vietnamese food at home, I was thoroughly impressed. The fresh pho noodles and rib eye were great! The rib eye was super tender and the fresh pho noodles were cooked well. Broth was aromatic, but not overpowering and not too salty or not too sweet The Bun Cha Ha Noi was so delicious. The pork belly was flavored so well and the fish sauce was spectacular. Wish we had just a bit more vegs but other than that was superb

We enjoyed Pho Time! The restaurant had good ambiance and great priced. The customer service was topnotch and the food was excellent. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls. They were nice size and fulfilling. We ordered shrimp pho and brisket pho-- both were excellent. But, the best was the Nutella waffle desert, amazing! The restaurant is a family style restaurant. We will def return!!

Seriously - HOW CAN I PUT MORE THAN 5 stars for this place!!!! My BFF kept talking about this place and I kept telling her that I don't go to PB now that I'm over 30 years old. LOL. BUT SHE DID NOT FAIL ME, this place was worth dragging me back onto Garnet. It was just the two of us. She said everything was so good, we LEGIT ordered 4 entrees, and THREE drinks. Of course I had to order the Pho here. The Pho in the clay pot was so good! It kept my Pho warm the entire time I was there eating the other 3 dishes. It's also one of the few pho places that serve FRESH thick noodles with Pho. Their specials with the Dau Mam was delicious was soooooo refreshing with the lettuce wrap, banh hoi, and sauce!! OMG THE SAUCEEEEE! I can type forever about this place, but really the cherry on top was the service and the owner? She came to check in on us and made suggestions. They were so so friendly. I can't wait to take my family here. They have a nice mix of dishes from Ha Noi! I can't wait to go back! It's always gonna Pho Time for me. PS, don't worry you're not too old to come back to PB for this.

Tried this new place after seeing the ads for Bun Cha Hanoi. We ordered that, pho, and the matcha coconut water. Everything was so yummy, but the matcha coconut water is 11/10, I'd come back just for that. Can't wait to try the other dishes here! Big restaurant, lots of seating and we got seated right away at dinner time. Very clean, food came out in like 20 min since the bun cha takes some time which they prefaced when we ordered.

In the name of all things delicious, this place has changed for the better! My brother is quite the Vietnamese cuisine enthusiast and he also gave a 5 star review and continues to text me every time he comes here for a meal. The whole interior has been upgraded, and finally I'm starting to see that other people are realizing what my brother and I knew months ago - this place is phenomenal! I come here when I want an authentic bahn mi + side of beef broth. See photos if you don't believe me. Def. worth a trip!

Bun đậu mắm tôm here is the bomb. The photo doesn't have pork belly because I don't eat pork belly. We also ordered the fillet mignon pho and garlic noodle with shaken beef. Service and interior is great as well. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

If you're looking for a more upscale Vietnamese cuisine experience, this is the place to go. I got their stone pot beef pho because it's not an option you see often at pho restaurants, and it was beautifully laid out and I loved the experience of putting it all together. A bit pricey for its portion size, but worth getting once in a while. I also got their combination fried rice and the portion size was generous on this. I was seated immediately on a Sunday night, and it was a bit hard to get the staff attention from where we were sitting but other than that great customer service.

Recently renovated, it's a completely different restaurant inside, the food is exceptional and authentic. Service was warm and welcoming. I was surprised by how good everything was, their Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Crêpes) were super thin and perfectly crispy, better than many of my favorite restaurants in Westminster. The Cơm Tấm had real Broken Rice and the bbq meats and the meatloaf were excellent, the side soup pho broth was on point. The Bánh Mì sandwiches also caught me off guard, the baguette had the perfect crackle on the outside and the bbq pork was wonderful mixed with crunchy veggies and peppers. OG southern Vietnamese food right here in pacific beach! Looking forward to eating here again soon

This place was perfect for the rainy day we went. Staff was very friendly and checked on us quite often. They were also very nice and made recommendations for us. The egg rolls were particularly good and my hot rock meal had a little of everything. The beef rib was particularly good! Also don't skip on their specialty drinks - the coconut matcha was awesome!

My daily go to pho place! Pho is amazing! It's all about the broth. Their rice and vermicelli plates are also a must.

Newly remodeled Photime, so sleek and modern. This spot is so spacious and absolutely love the service. The staff there is so friendly and welcoming. The food was very good and filling. The hot stone pho bowl was super hot and flavorful. I also ordered the lychee fruit tea which was delicious. Thank you Photime for your hospitality. If you are in the area please stop by you will not be disappointed.

Wanted to try another new pho pace and this one had some kind of exposure on social media that caught our attention. Sat right down, restaurant was open, airy and clean. Decorations were actually pretty well done for a pho spot. Food was out fast, staff was attentive, and everything was delicious. Not much you can say about pho...it's one of those #iykyk things. The broth is what makes it. This was really good. Noodles, portions, and proteins were all great. Will repeat.

The server was very welcoming and constantly asked if we loved the food which we really did. The pho was light but also soo deep in flavor. Then the lemongrass peach tea was the perfect amount of sweetness along with a very very tiny bitterness. Everything was very good here and can't wait to go back when I visit San Diego!

Good Pho and delicious soup and good services and nice ambience . Not a lot of people which is good to have a chit chat and nice visit

Really good pho. I had the chicken one this time. They have a lot of options and so far everything I've tried has been great. Staff/owners are also super sweet :)

The service was great. The staff checked on our table multiples to see if we need anything and asked if the food was okay. The food tasted good. The shrimp roll was sugarcane stick was amazing. The pho was okay nothing special but the meat was good. The fried rice with beef steak was acceptable. I think the meat was a bit tough. The drinks were good. The restaurant was spacious and bright.

I came here during lunch around to celebrate my birthday with family on a Monday! The interior of the restaurant is massive with multiple tables. The tall ceiling with the windows above creates beautiful lighting to the center of the restaurant. There's no more fish tank by the way. The Vietnamese hostess/server was so sweet and joyful. To drink, my brother ordered the $7.25 Coconut Matcha. It's coconut water topped with a creamy matcha mixture. If you like strong matcha, then you should sip it. But if you like a refreshing flavor + matcha then you should drink with a straw... 4.5/5! I had the $6.75 Hue Sea Salt Coffee. This wasn't as I expected because on the menu... it looked like a sea salted cream on top, but what I received was sweet deflated whipped cream. I was so eager to try it that I only took a mental photo. The coffee portion was strong with the perfect amount of condensed milk. I am thankful for the whipped cream topping because the sweetness cut down the saltiness... 3.7/5! My mom ordered the $6.50 Coconut Coffee. It's always so refreshing, sweet, and strong. The coconut blend wasn't icy at all, creamy and super coconuty-- a really delicious drink. It was also topped with wide toasted coconut chips! 5/5, would highly recommend! The two coffee drinks shouldn't take very long to make. We were surprised it took about 15+ minutes to come out. Usually Vietnamese coffee drips under 5 min! It wasn't that huge of a deal at the time, since we did have to wait for the rest of our group to come. But just something to note! Also, the sharing plates were super small (think 4x4 plate), about the size of my fist. Later on, a family member ordered their $6.50 Peach Lemongrass Tea! I love the way they utilized the lemongrass stalk as a straw. The peach flavor was strong, she said she would ask next time for it to be not as sweet. To eat, we ordered the: - Grilled Sugar Cane Shrimp (Chao Tom)with Fine Woven Vermicelli (Banh Hoi) Tray: the banh hoi was white, green, and purple. I'm surprised that it wasn't overly cooked/bloated and they were able to keep the vibrant color! The grilled shrimp on sugar cane was good & different. I liked the flavor and the occasional large chunk of shrimp. I wish that the sugar cane flavor came off more. I think it lacked that aspect. I know you can chew on the sugar cane to get more of the juicy goodness though. The platter came with lettuce, mints, cucumber, carrots, and daikon and fish sauce mixture. The fish sauce mixture tasted lovely with a hint of heat! Overall, this platter was nice to share with family. And it was cool to see on the menu because you normally don't find this available at Vietnamese restaurants. - Banh Xeo: This came out about 1 hour after we ordered which is super strange because usually all the items are prepped in advance. They had to redo it a few times since the first tries didn't work out well, according to the waitress. They did really stuff the banh xeo with meat, shrimp, and beansprouts which was nice of them. The plate came with lettuce (to wrap everything and dip), cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, herbs and fish sauce. The banh xeo itself was a smidge thicker than I'm used to. The banh xeo batter had a really strong sweet coconut flavor. I love to eat banh xeo, but this was hard to eat with how sweet it was! - Pho with Eye Round Steak and Lean Brisket..etc. They brought out a plate of pho herbs (aka beansprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime). We got the pho that had rare meat and a few other meats. I thought the broth was tasty and light. I liked that the pho noodles weren't over cooked and they didn't clump in the bowl at all! Next time I would ask for the rare meat to be on the side because they were a little too over cooked by the time they reached the table. My brother enjoyed his pho as well! - My aunt ordered their new menu item, Garlic Wok Seared Filet Mignon Pho! This has great and fragrant garlic flavor and she really enjoyed it. Would recommend if you like garlic! Also, the waitress overheard us and excitedly mentioned she will make a bday dessert for me which was super sweet. She gave me three scoops of ice-cream topped with some boba, and a mint. It was too cute. I'm not entirely sure, the ice cream reminded me of French vanilla! Overall, it was a lovely spot for lunch. The utensils were well organized within their cafe de Paris coffee tin. They even have vegetarian (chay) options which is cool. I would recommend stopping by Pho Time, when you're in Pacific Beach. You don't want to miss trying these delicious Vietnamese food.

Really good pho. The broth was delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked, plenty of sprouts and such- exactly what we needed on a chilly night. The servers were friendly too. We'll be back.

From food to service to ambience to price, love this place! Live a bit north of freeway 56 but would occasionally drive to PB just for their food. Restaurant has high ceilings making it spacious. Parking not a problem for being in PB. Food are all welled flavored & we have enjoyed every shared dish. See pictures below.

My husband and I came yesterday for the first time, and our experiences were awesome! We normally order two different dishes everywhere we dine in. However, it was raining yesterday, so we decided to order two bowls of Pho. I got the "Hot Stone Bowl Pho," and he got the "Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon Pho" The Hot Stone Bowl was amazing!

The Garlic-wok Seared Filet Mignon was super delicious! I could taste the garlic flavor in the meat. We also ordered two coffees: Hue Sea Salt Coffee and Coconut Coffee. They are Vietnamese coffee for sure because they woke us up in an instant. We will come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended!

Great little spot to stop by to get your Pho on! Nice place friendly service with easy parking give it a try when in PB

Came in for a late-night dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is very spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was solid--our servers were attentive and made sure everything was going smoothly. I ordered the filet mignon, which was tender and well-cooked. It paired nicely with the flavorful bed of fried rice it was served on. A couple of things to note: the design of the tables might be uncomfortable for those with trypophobia--while I didn't get any photos, it was noticeable upon walking in. Also, it was a bit unconventional to be served while a waitress had her baby with her and kids were occasionally running around. It didn't bother us too much, but it might be something others would want to be aware of. Overall, the food and service made it a worthwhile visit, even with a few quirks.

We. Loved. This. Place!!! Came here cuz Euy Noi wanted Pho. The pho broth was so noua u didn't even have to poong it! Driving loved his Bo Ne. He ate allllll of it! Madden killed his bowl of Time's special. Euy Noi had leftover ribs there was so much. And i def killed my bowl of pho. Much needed after a week of drinking in Moval! All the drinks here was BOMB!!!! We would def come back to eat here! The family that owns it was so nice too.

Staff is very friendly and the food is great! Easy to park, big restaurant so lots of seating, and great experience overall! I got the special pho and the thai tea and it was great.

We come here frequently. The menu is recently updated and the food is always very good. Lots of flavor and good portions! The service is great. Highly recommended to friends and family.

I recently came back and it was still as good as ever, the flavors are well pronounced. The service was definitely a 5/5 they treat so well and are very kind and respectful. The place itself is clean and a very cozy environment. I will for sure come back again!

The new and improved Pho Time must be tried! It's under new ownership and the interior is light with nice clean decor and drawings and photographs of Hanoi and Vietnam throughout. The atrium with its high ceiling creates such a unique atmosphere that draws in the light and the space feels almost like you are outdoors. The new owner, Mai, greeted us warmly upon arrival and we sat in one of the many comfortable booths. We started with the eggs rolls with fish sauce. They were crispy and came with lettuce wraps so we dipped the entire wrapped egg roll into the fish sauce and got a flavor delight. You must try the egg rolls! Then we were treated to some spring rolls with shrimp that we dipped Into a mild peanut sauce. Yum! We split a large bowl of vegetable pho and put all the beans sprouts, lime juice and Thai basil into the broth. It was filled with rice noodles and tofu and broccoli and carrots and it was amazingly light yet also filling without leaving me in a food coma. We were treated to a free Thai ice tea for our Yelp review..... so take note you yelpers. Please come and try this healthy Vietnamese cuisine. Open from 11-9:00 so you have lunch or dinner to either eat in or take out. I hope this business thrives and the word gets out. They serve all kinds of specialty drinks including egg coffee and lychee iced tea in addition to alcohol. Great service, atmosphere and very reasonable for high quality food and setting. You will be glad you tried it.

Great foods! Pho is the best in town. Staffs are friendly. Services are great! You cant go wrong with any orders here. I highly recommend coconut coffee and hanoi egg coffee. My friend, who is Italian, approves their meatball banh mi!! Definitely will come back!

Great food and service! Just got the grilled sugar cane shrimp, bone-in pho, and Hanoi style vermicelli with my wife and it was all delicious! We are used to the garden grove Vietnamese style food and this all the spot! Will be back!

This is my absolute favorite place to get pho. I always get the rare steak pho and it is so good and the proportions are large. You also can't beat the price. The staff is also fantastic. When I eat in they are courteous and the surface is quick and excellent. And when I order for pickup it is ready so fast. It's in a shopping Center Plaza And so there is plenty of parking. I mostly order for takeout but I have eaten in several times and the ambience is very neutral to me. Nothing negative about it but nothing about it stands out either. I would say it's a very casual place though. Next time you're wanting some Pho definitely check this place out. I also recommend adding the bok choy to your order.

We were visiting from Los Angeles and were craving pho after a long day at see world. Stumbled across this place on yelp. Showed up with all 10 of my family members/kids. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 The filet minon fried rice was delicious! The rib eye and sautee shrimp spicy pho was insanely flavorful! The egg rolls were 10/10 (my 2 yr old loved them) The strawberry smoothies with boba the kids ordered were so good! The portions of everything was great. All the food we ordered was perfect and if we are ever down in San Diego again, we will be stopping by again!

I love this place. Pho Time has been my go-to for over 10 years. This place is so consistent. I ate here more than any other place during Covid to support this business. I didn't want it to be another casualty during that time since so many small businesses were struggling. I moved away from PB, and live more inland now. I have a pho restaurant within walking distance of my house, but I still head into PB to dine here or grab takeout. The pho broth is flavorful and comes steaming hot! I've tried most of the menu items over the years and it is always fresh- especially the bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños and limes. They don't skimp on the protein and is always cooked well- the grilled chicken & pork chop *delicious*. Good portions and fair pricing. Can't beat that! They recently remodeled the restaurant, spruced up their social media and added some killer photos of delicious new menu items and beverages. The restaurant is clean and the family works hard to provide friendly service. Go check them out!

The food is fantastic very tasty. The service is nice. The restaurant is pretty good.

By far my favorite pho place I have ever been to. I have ordered the times special dozens of times on DoorDash, but since I live within walking distance decided to eat in today. The service is great- super friendly staff, immediately got seated and less than ten minutes later had a hot bowl of pho in front of me. I love the Time's special pho, and eating it at the restaurant was even better than ordering it to go. The broth is great, they give plenty of meat, and for such a large bowl only 14 dollars is a good price. The meat is great, if you are in the San Diego area looking for a great bowl of pho I highly recommend (I've been to other places in San Diego, this is the best). Will continue to come here and enjoy!

Wow, I haven't been here in a couple years and their glow up is amazing!! The atmosphere was fun and exciting, the new menus and the new menu options looked awesome, and the service was great. I was actually surprised the prices hadn't been raised and were really reasonable. I got the chicken curry which was delicious but already going back to try the spicy pho. Spring rolls were perfect as was the crunchy fried shrimp. The service was wonderful and personable, the waitress was appalled I was trying to put my curry and rice in the same to go container and she took it from me and insisted on doing it herself it was actually really lovely, like being at an aunts house. We're heading back tonight!!

Very friendly and fast service! :) The vegetarian egg rolls are my favorite to order here! Clean and newly remodeled interior design.

Amazing Vietnamese spot in San Diego The food options here are so big & come with so much! I ordered the Com Tam special combo #26 & my mom order the Pho in a Hot Stone bowl! Her bone beef was so tender and fell off the bone perfectly! There drinks are also great & they play a beautiful Vietnam scenery slideshow on the TV. Great Vietnamese spot!

We've been enjoying this restaurant for years, and it never disappoints! The warm welcome from the Kissing Gouramis and the friendly staff always sets the tone for a great experience. The spring rolls and fried rice with grilled chicken are consistently delicious, and the Thai tea is absolutely over the top--simply the best!

We love it here, food is super yummy and fresh. Servers are very nice and helpful. The garlic filet mignon is our favorite!

The food here is delicious, and the customer service was excellent! We live far from San Diego and were really craving Vietnamese food. Out of many options, we decided to try Pho Time--and we're so glad we did. It turned out to be a great experience. The drinks were also thoughtfully prepared and clearly made with care. Everything from the flavors to the presentation showed attention to detail. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and satisfying Vietnamese cuisine. It's definitely worth the drive!

It's really sad seeing the fish dying in the fish tank, please either take care of them or get rid of them :(

We arrived in San Diego and we wanted to get some pho close by to our hotel and there was free parking and a fish tank to entertain our grandson so we came here and pho was flavorful and hot. Garlic noodles with shaken beef was delish. Service was good despite the fact there was only one server

Everything was amazing, 10/10! By eating the food at this place, you know you're experiencing true passion and quality in every bite

I love this place. We have been ordering pho here for years. The food comes out fast and the broth is flavorful. We had a busy night tonight so tried out the free delivery option offered through Yelp. The order delivery time estimate kept getting later and later so I called the restaurant to verify they received my order. They said they do not use Grubhub and didn't have my order at all. If you are ordering delivery they said to use Uber eats or Postmates.

Great food, friendly service. Our family really enjoyed all of our dishes, price is super reasonable given the area its in. We will be back!

Simply Outstanding! As someone that has tried virtually every Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego, Pho Time tops them all. Everything is delicious and fresh and the service is friendly and fast. They just do everything right here and the attention to every detail is great.
