Streets Pho & Grill — Restaurant in Santee

Streets Pho & Grill is located a few doors down from Pepper Farm Deli and only been opened since December 2023. It serves authentic Vietnamese food. It has all the dishes I like and more. I do wish they offered broken rice plates not regular rice.

We ordered: -Wing trio of salt&pepper, honey sriracha, and fish sauce ($20): So far one of the best wings! It’s super crispy on every bite. I like s&p, honey sriracha then fish sauce but my fiancé likes fish sauce, s&p then honey sriracha. The honey sriracha is more of a wet marinade. I highly recommend getting the trio to see which flavors fancy you.

-Signature Pho ($20): The broth looks really clean. Has oxtail, shank, flank and brisket. It’s good but I have to say pho is not their strong point.

-Shaken beef filet mignon ($20): Always my go to. The filet was super soft and chewy. The flavor is not as bold as I would like compared to other places but still really good.

-Caramelized fish in clay pot ($20): Rare to see this dish. It’s usually offered at places that have family style meals. Well, this was a mini family style meal because it came with a side of rice and sweet and sour tamarind soup. The soup had pineapple, slices of giant elephant ear (the spongy stalk), tomatoes, shrimp, beans sprouts.

Everything tasted like your mom’s home cooking but in a restaurant.

My favorite Vietnamese places to eat are PT Eatery and Mom’s Pho and Grill. Now Streets Pho and Grill is added to my list.

Coincidentally, Streets is related to Mom’s. This explains why we loved it so much and was comparing to Mom’s. Mom’s is owned by the sister and the brother owns Streets. They don’t serve identical menu. You’ll have to check out both and decide for yourself!

We will be back to try...

Stopped by here on a weekday for lunch. Some of the best Vietnamese food I've had in San Diego. The pho dac biet was huge with a lot of meat, including an oxtail with fall-off-the-bone tender meat. What struck me as standing out from other restaurants was the quality of the noodles. Usually they come out overcooked in clumps or get shredded into little threads. These noodles had the perfect texture, with some springiness in them that lasted throughout the meal. The broth was light and not too salty so I didn't add any fish sauce. The caramelized catfish came in a thick sweet and vinegary sauce that went perfect with rice and the accompanying soup had wintermelon and shrimp, very refreshing! This was the highlight of the three. I don't think I've ever seen it before. The chicken wing trio was very satisfying as well. It came with salt and pepper, honey Sriracha and fish sauce flavors. I really liked the fish sauce ones. While it doesn't have the huge menus like other Vietnamese places, Streets offers some unique flavors that are absolutely worth coming out to Santee for. What's more, the chef was really friendly and the server helped box up our food to go, which is a big plus! Will definitely be...

Oh, Santee! Cuddos for you having Street Pho & Grill opening up in your neighborhood. Their soft opening is underway, and their food is fantastic.

I had the Bun with Pork Egg Rolls and added Grilled BBQ Pork to make it my favorite "Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio." A combination, I hope they add to the menu with the other proteins. The pork egg rolls were amazing and some of the best I've had in San Diego. They were very well stuffed with savory ground pork. They are super flavorful and, more importantly, super crispy. They were good eating with the fish sauce and hot chili paste. Do give them a try.

The grilled pork was very well made. It offered that great subtle yet effective smokey delicious flavor from the grill. The pork meat was also very tender. The veggies that came along with the egg rolls and pork were fresh and crisp. The romaine, bean sprouts, carrots, mint, and cucumbers were perfect.

The vermicelli noodles were served at the right temp, and the fish sauce was very tasty as well. I loved everything in this bowl down to the last crunchy peanut.

Service was very welcoming and friendly. The place is casual and offers inside...
