I came here once before leaving out of town because I didn't want to go to east side which is around El Cajon blvd and university ave. I was quite surprise of the flavor of the pho! I had the p1 and for being in national city I was surprised that it was good! The broth is hearty and the amount is good for the cost. Since everything has gone up to inflation. The service is what you expect. They sit you down and bring you water . Nothing extra just how you would like it . The food came out pretty fast. And don't be shy and ask for your extra stuff you need. The ambiance is small but clean. But they do have a fast reaction to what you need for a small restaurant. Food 8/10 Service 9/10 It's quick and easy for pho. That's what I appreciate. Would I recommend it for a first date? No... but if you and a friend is hungry for pho. It's popping here !

We tried a variety of dishes: pho with chicken, pho with rare filet mignon, spring rolls and Vietnamese egg rolls. Everything was tasty, but our standout favorites were the pho with filet and Vietnamese egg rolls. Note there is only a $1 difference between small and large sizes. So we opted for the Overall, the food was good. Very flavorful, well seasoned pho broth. Overall, it was a positive experience. Reasonable prices. Average customer service
