“ You want good traditional Pho? Especially on a cold rainy day or feeling sick? This is THE SPOT!!!! They only sell Pho in different ways but the broth and meats are absolutely delicious! I always get the #1 it comes with everything. After eating It makes me feel better afterwards especially if I have a cold coming. The service is quick and the ambiance is family friendly. ”
“ TL;DR: No fuss, quick service, good pho, fair price. Don't overthink this one y'all. Pho Hot still serves pho the way it's meant to be - fast, delicious, and cheap (relative). We came on a weeknight and immediately seated. Ordered in the next 5 minutes. Received our orders in another 5-10. Finished our food, paid at the counter, and back in our car in 20. Exactly what we wanted for a cold day Cheers, Pho Hoa! ”
“ Forever a go-to for a gloomy weathered day, a sit down lunch with the parents, anything really.. &especially after a night of drinking too much. Lol. I've gone here since as far back as I can remember. It was always a regular staple with my OG pops! Their menu is pretty simple, mostly just pho. But they do have Bo Kho. The Vietnamese beef stew and a loaf of french bread. But I always ask for a #1, meat outside, sliced white onions, green onions in oil, and extra extra sate. Which is the large special. Please&thank you! On a rare occasion, I'd asked for a #3, which is a small special. Im a girl that can finish EVERYTHING I order, so #3 is rare for me. Not that their portions aren't big enough, my stomach is just enough for the large/extra larges. ”
“ I was told by a friend that this is the best pho in town and boy was she right. This place reminds me of vietnam. It only serves pho which now you know this will smack! The place is packed and they have people coming in and out. The servers are actually really kind they just naturally have an RBF until you smile at them. Broth so rich! ”
“ I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. My parents used to take me here every weekend as a kid, and even now, I still go with my dad every Saturday when we have the chance. THATS how good this is. Their soup is unbeatable, and the portions are HUGE. Even compared to the pho I've had in Vietnam, this is my #1 It's just something you have to experience to understand, come and try this. ”
“ This is easily one of the best places for pho in San Diego. The restaurant has plenty of seating and a decent amount of parking, which is always a plus. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. The pho broth is the real star here--rich, flavorful, and comforting. I ordered the #1 combination, which comes loaded with rare steak, tendon, brisket, flank, and tripe. The portion size was generous. I requested chili oil on the side. The food comes out quick. While the pho options are impressive, I did notice there weren't any appetizers like egg rolls or spring rolls available. This is definitely a pho-focused spot, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a broader menu. If you're craving a solid bowl of pho, this no frills restaurant delivers. ”
