House of Pho — Restaurant in National City

The pho here is decent. The taste is good (not excellent nor outstanding) and the prices are reasonable. They do put significantly fewer noodles than other places, so there have been occasions that someone in my party has had to ask for extra noodles (obviously charged). The spring rolls are fresh and flavorful and the beef skewers are yummy.

Parking can be hit or miss. There are a lot of businesses in this strip mall and during peak times you may end up having to park over by the Jack in the Box where there's more parking. The place is clean, I've never had to use the bathroom.

Service is VERY hit or miss here. I've read some of the surveys about the lady taking orders "sighs deeply like she's being bothered." I know exactly whom you guys are talking about, my friends and I nickname her Surly. Half the time she's friendly and talkative, the other half she acts like she absolutely hates being there and it shows. If you happen to catch her when she's sitting and eating, which has been MANY times in my experience, she will be in a bad mood 100%, as she gets up with a sigh and an eyeroll. C'mon, people, give this lady an uninterrupted 30-minute lunch break in the back or before/after her shift so she's not in a bad mood half the time.

In a nutshell, this is a decent place with quick service and decent food. It's not a place you go out of your way to visit, but if you happen to find yourself within 1 mile or so and feeling like pho it's not a bad...

If you've ever read my reviews before, I'm not big on criticizing the "taste" factor. How good a meal is, depends on each individual palate.

The place was decent. I can't complain there. Clean and simple. No surprises. I stopped in, this morning, and had the P2- House Special. And in my opinion, the pho was good. I can't complain there either. And at least the price was decent.

The only thing that was a bummer for me, was the service. After my meal, I was clearly done and ready to go. I waited for a little bit to grab my check and a container for my left overs. Eventually, I got up and walked to the counter to find someone. It turns out the lady was literally hiding down behind the counter, texting on her phone. Not very business like. It was obviously laid back to say the least. No biggie, but minus one star for...

We have been here twice now, the first time my husband got some stir fry take out and would have given that experience 1 Star, the stir fry was so bad he didn’t even eat it and my daughter who is not at all a picky eater hated it too, this time my husband and I went and had Pho and the egg rolls and the beef sticks, he had Thai tea as well. The food was all pretty good and the price was reasonable, the service was a bit odd when I asked for the check the server told me that my husband wasn’t done eating and she didn’t want to bring us the check because that would be “rude to the man of the house” I’m hoping that was a joke, we ended up going to the counter for our check. Over all we will go back because the food was pretty good and the location is...
