Best Vietnamese Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"The spacious establishment with ample parking has drawn loyal followers in Pacific Beach. Start off with the Vietnamese crispy egg rolls, filled with pork and taro. The deeply satisfying pho broth is a dependable base for add-ons like thin slices of eye-round steak and Vietnamese meatballs." - Helen I. Hwang

Pho Time in PB has a bright, spacious vibe with high ceilings and lots of natural light. The food photography on the walls looks great. The restaurant is busy but still family friendly and not too loud. Cleanliness is average. They could make the entrance look more presentable and the bathroom could be cleaner. A step stool in the restroom would really help little kids wash their hands on their own. We ordered the hot stone pho and the Bun dau mam tom which is a secret menu dish. Both were delicious and everything tasted fresh. The broth is on the lighter northern style. The presentation is great, but the hot stone pho could use a bit more noodles and herbs. The special drinks were all very good. Service was mixed. The manager was warm, attentive, and remembered everything we ordered. Some of the other staff forgot small requests like bowls for the kids. More attention to families and kids would make the experience even smoother. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and I would return, especially for the Bun dau mam tom.

Customer service was absolutely amazing. Best banhxeo I’ve ever had hands down. The pho was super flavorful, I’ve never had wagu pho till I came here and I’m so glad I did. And they’re are Dog friendly! 10/10 recommend

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere is super welcoming and the staff is very friendly, the food is very good and priced well. A lot of different menu offerings, I got the filet mignon pho and a lychee tea. There are a few other items that caught my eye. The tables around me got a variety of different foods and everything looked very appetizing. The portion size is great. I recommend this place for sure. Ample parking, right down the street from main area of PB

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!

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!

Disappointed in the amount of soup they give for to-go orders. I tried attaching a picture but they don't allow pictures as part of a review. Basically the amount of soup I got wouldn't fill up a red solo cup. I ordered a regular beef stew and the amount they give for $16 is crazy. Plus I had to pay an extra $1 for hoisen and chili sauce packets. - the soup itself was actually deliciousn so i gave 5 stars for the food portion of this review but I specifically got it for the broth. I'm sick and needed something to help soothe my cold. If I took out the 3 pieces of carrot and the beef, the broth would be half of what I was given.

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!

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 was actually pretty impressed at how good the food was. Being Vietnamese I'm pretty selective on the quality of Vietnamese dishes. This spot had a good selection of items to choose from. Service and staff were amazing! They truly care about the quality of food and service. I can definitely tell by the joy on their faces. Ambiance is so chill and nice. Interior is beautiful and bright with the high ceilings. Located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. I ordered the woven vermicelli with shrimp sugarcane. My family ordered the bun cha Ha Noi and loved it. It was overall a solid and satisfying meal. Presentation is wonderful. I would totally come back here and recommend others.

This Vietnamese fusion spot has been in Pacific Beach for decades, tucked into a corner of the mall. We came in on a Sunday night and the place was almost full around 7 PM. Nice ambience with tasteful decor and high ceilings that made the space feel open instead of cramped. We ordered the hot stone bowl pho, shaking beef, crispy noodles, chicken wings, KBBQ fried rice and bun cha Hanoi. Everything was well-seasoned and tasted just right and nicely presented. Prices were totally reasonable, and there's plenty of parking (a miracle in PB). But the real standout was the service. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming right from the moment we stepped in the doors.

My friend wanted to try the famous sizzling filet mignon steak plate, but I was glad to see plenty of other great options here too. Here's my experience: AMBIANCE: Parking: Plaza parking--no real issues, even at lunchtime. Seating: Comfortable inside seating, good for pairs, mid-sized groups, or even larger gatherings. Vibes: Welcome to the inner parts of Pacific Beach. You won't see the ocean from here, but you're still in the neighborhood. The spot itself is inviting, with art and décor highlighting Hanoi culture. Lite rock played in the background, which kept the lunch flow easy and relaxed. Overall, it feels like a great place for a casual food adventure--solo or with friends. FOOD/DRINKS: Coconut Matcha (Recommend) Beautifully presented. Earthy matcha paired with tropical coconut sweetness makes for a smooth, refreshing drink--perfect on a hot day. Rice Vermicelli - Grilled Pork (Recommend) A fulfilling bowl that hits the essential Vietnamese flavor notes. The pork was marinated in lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar--sweet, savory, and umami all at once. Fresh herbs (mint, basil, cilantro) and cucumber added brightness and kept it light. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly staff who kept things moving smoothly--our orders came out quickly and with a smile. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Awesome! Good food, fair prices, and a pleasant experience. Sure, you can find incredible Vietnamese food in Normal Heights or Chula Vista, but this spot definitely holds it down in Pacific Beach. I'm curious to come back for more drinks and dishes. Cảm ơn (thank you)! #RepresentAZN TIPS: * Too many good choices--bring a friend so you can share and sample more dishes!

Very nice here, the owner is such a sweetheart and is so kind. My friend and I were ordering and she was switching back and forth from English and Vietnamese perfectly. It was so cute!! The restaurant itself is so giant and spacious. The food itself is big portions and so good too! The food also has combos for pho, egg roll/spring roll! definitely would check it out:)

I am shook. This place has been around and I came across this place through an Instagram post and I am so glad I checked out this place. Normally you don't go into PB for Asian food. But surprisingly this place has more local dishes that you won't be able to find around San Diego. We ordered the bun cha hanoi and it was superb. Vietnamese approved and best one yet in San Diego.

We've been coming here for years now! It's a family owned restaurant and they've renovated the entire place so it looks modern and beautiful now. I usually always ordered the house special pho and substitute the raw meat to lean brisket with chili oil ( can't never go wrong ). But since they've renovated the place, they also added specialty menus. I love their jumbo beef rib pho it's so delicious and the bone is so huge! The garlic filet mignon pho is also delicious, its soup has a very distinguishable taste. We also love the garlic noodle tiger prawns and shaken beef garlic noodle. The sugar cane shrimp was delicious too and of course their egg rolls is always a hit! Everything here is satisfying except the hot stone pho it's like a hotpot style. I did not really enjoyed that. They serve the raw meat in a separate plate and what you do is you put it in a hot stone bowl with soup in it and allow that itself to cook the raw meat but it doesn't really cook the meat very well for me. I'm not a fan of raw meat and the taste of it is something not I would ever enjoy. So, it's a no for me and I would also not recommend. Theres A lot of seating and they are usually not very busy but I like their pho, it's authentic in my own opinion. I've been to other pho restaurants and some of them don't have satisfying flavors. Service is great! They are kind, attentive and friendly.

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

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.

Pros: My husband got the pho time special and I got the Vietnamese crepe (banh xeo). The portion size of both plates were huge and filled us up fast. We also got 2 spring rolls- the rolls were okay for appetizers. The total bill for our 2 meals, 2 spring rolls, and lychee ice tea came out to be $40. The service was great and fast. Cons: They did not have the AC on while we were there and it was so hot especially in August. There was one fan in the corner but it was small and not very useful. In addition, the front door was open and flies were coming in. I would've rated this place higher if the AC was on. We were just uncomfortably hot while having lunch. I would suggest if they wanted to save money, maybe buy more fans or invest in a better AC. Overall the food was great, but we wish we were more comfortable while eating.

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.

Wasn't for me, but my bf really liked the pho here. If you aren't picky about pho, this would be a decent place to try. Got pho to go, and there were a couple things I didn't like: 1- the rare steak (tai) was placed on top of the noodles without anything to separate it, which leave the noodles covered in blood. I rinsed the noodles before I prepared my bowl at home. 2- Came with barely any herbs 3- The broth was really bland at first- turns out all of the flavor had sunk to the bottom, which is weird. The "flavor" on the bottom was reminiscent of instant ramen. Not sure what could have made it taste like that (bouillon, msg?) 4- The tripe was overcooked and mushy. That being said, my boyfriend really liked the broth. He isn't as snobby about pho as I am, so he gives it a 4/5. The price was also pretty decent and the quality of the meat was good. I would come back to try some other items if I was in the area. Take it how you will (:

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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!

Got the combo pho, comes with pho of choice and a spring roll or egg roll. I opted for a large beef pho with steak round and a shrimp spring roll. It was just what I needed after feeling like dog poop all day. The broth is flavorful, the steak is cut thin enough that it warms and cooks with the hot broth. I ordered delivery via DoorDash and it arrived in less than 30 minutes, they are quick!! I also got a Thai tea with boba, I prefer mine less sweet but didn't think to request, it is good, would ask for less sweet next time. Would order from them again!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Craving for Vietnamese dishes? Pho Time restaurant in San Diego has so many authentic dishes that is so refreshing and satisfying for your taste buds. Located in Pacific Beach where locals go to enjoy hot pho soup bowls. Today decided to try their new special dish for the summer. A dish where you use lettuce to wrap around. It's like a spring roll without the rice wrap paper. How to eat it? First fill it with the steamed rice vermicelli, grilled sugar cane shrimp, add herb and sliced carrots and cucumbers. After rolling it into a roll, dip it into the fish sauce. It is so refreshing and satisfying. Vietnam is known for fresh veggies, fresh dishes and delicious pho. This place is never a disappointment. The place served refreshing drink specials, fresh coconut water with matcha and their strawberry basil. Yum! Service was friendly and fast. The location is clean and spacious. A must stop by place to get a good bowl of hot pho.

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.

We were from Seattle and we're are amazed on how good Pho is at this place. We come here two times on our vacation and we have not been disappointed. Furthermore, their bo ne is crazily good. They used real steak. The xiu mai is also great. Regarding the drink, I love the lychee one and egg coffee. The owner is super nice and very attentive. The overall atmosphere is super welcome. Love to come back next trip

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.

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.
