Phở Time - Vietnamese Fusion — Restaurant in San Diego

one of the classier pho places in SD.

overall, I thought my pho had wonderful flavor. i was swayed by a posted photo of the seafood pho -- but I wouldnt recommend getting as a majority (all?) of the seafood was "seafood." it had things that looked like lobster, looked like scallops, etc...but please, for the price tag I should have known better :) I guess most of this stuff is seafood paste of some variety and has a congealed tofu-like texture. maybe it is tofu, i dont know.

but even though everything was mock seafood (except the shrimp...pretty sure that was shrimp but ive been amazed by vegan "shrimp" so who knows) it still has a higher price tag than standard items like the rare beef or chicken - $8.50 I believe. I'm not saying it didnt taste good, I just dont think its worth it. I'll come back and get the aforementioned instead. Someone in my party got the chicken and really enjoyed - said it was basically an entire white meat chicken in there.

my cousin raved about "complimentary" side bread for dipping. i believe its the bread used for the Banh mì's. ya well...its not complimentary, they charge $1.50 for it. definitely good but not worth the price. ill admit my dining for pho is mainly for cheap, quick, and delicious. so when i pay unnecessary extras like "seafood" and "bread" to make it over $10, i realize i did it wrong. also, if my tummy is gonna hurt from the weirdness of components and MSG one way or another, it might as well be cheap!

all in all, pho time is worthy of its popularity...just make sure you order right. i was also given the heads up from a friend to order the rare beef on the side and put in on your own to ensure it doesnt get...

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...

Pho Time in San Diego absolutely delivered on every level. We ordered the pork platter pho combo and the beef steak platter served on a sizzling iron plate with egg and meatball — and both were phenomenal.

The pork in the pho combo was tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. You can tell it’s made with care and quality ingredients. The beef steak platter came out sizzling, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning, and paired beautifully with the runny egg and savory meatball.

The service was quick and friendly, the portions were generous, and the whole vibe of the restaurant was relaxed and welcoming. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something hearty and satisfying, Pho Time hits the mark. Can’t wait...
