PHO KHA RESTAURANT — Restaurant in National City

Ive only ever had pho in this place so U can't say anything for the other dishes. I've tried the oxtail pho and the beef rib pho several times. The first time I got the oxtail pho was great, the oxtail was so soft and juicy, the broth was great, the other pieces of meat (tendon, Brisket) was great too. I had a great experience my first time so I came back and got the beef rib pho. The broth was great but the beef meat was tough. I couldn't eat it all. I decided to give it one more try and went a 3rd time and this ribs I got the oxtail pho again. I was disappointed with the quality. The oxtail tasted old, like it was cooked a long time ago, you can tell from the texture of the meat, it wasn't juicy. The broth wasn't so good either, you can tell they used too much buillon on it. All it is a hit or miss. Sometimes they're good, sometimes not. The place inside is ok, they keep the...

Food might be delish but it takes FOREVER TO GET IT IN HOUSE AND DELIVERY. I walk in on a busy weekend evening. 3 people working, one waitress at a table . The other looks at me numerous times at the front counter. However, she continues to ignore me and no acknowledgment whatsoever!!! Then a man who I am assuming is the owner also ignores me . 6 min later I advised I’m there to pick up my to go order. He is still ignoring me. The young lady that was at one of the other tables comes over . She lets me know the kitchen is backed up. It could be another 15 min or so.

No place to wait. Peeps are packed in like sardines. I go outside in the blistering raining wind for 15 min. Theeeeeen I go back to check and I’m told it’s still not done another 10 min. For ONE BOWL PHO 🍜. Unfortunately this would not be a place that would get my hard earned...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem for Pho and Bánh Mì Lovers

I’m so glad I found this spot! The pho here is absolutely top-tier—the bone broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered for hours. It has that deep, comforting umami that true pho lovers crave. Portions are generous, and you definitely won’t leave hungry.

The bánh mì is equally impressive. The pate is smooth and buttery, perfectly layered beneath savory, well-marinated grilled meats. The bread is crisp on the outside, soft on the inside—exactly how it should be.

The restaurant itself is very clean with a fresh, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing something to go, everything feels well-kept and thoughtfully prepared.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese...
