Nice spot for casual lunch or dinner. When you walk in they usually have you see yourself. The eggrolls were good and a bit different than eggrolls from different cultures. I really like the mint and lettuce to wrap them up…crunchy! I ordered the vegetable pho with chicken added. From what I understand, beef and chicken pho both have MSG added. Plus, I’d like to get my veggies in. The service was good. However, we did have to keep asking for things such as sauces and extra napkins which were not given up front. Granted, they do get busy after we arrive. We bring the crowds! 😂 The sauces are all currently in single used containers and none are just out on the table. We ordered two bowls of pho and had to ask for extra plate of the veggies. They only gave us one very little bean sprouts and we like a lot of veggies in pho!

24. 24. Not 24 hours availability but $24 is what I paid for a bowl of pho dac biet after tax and tip. The food and service was good but the portion size was so small I asked for extra noodles ($4.00). No drink, no nada. This is Vista, not Del Mar, not Solana Beach not Carlsbad, but Vista. I feel graped... Imagine being Mexican American and paying $24 for a burrito in California. This is the feeling. There are better options elsewhere imo. $25 is not the new normal to eat pho at a Vietnamese restaurant. Nonetheless if you want to, this place has good food n service.

This one has good tasting Vietnamese food! My friends love their pho soup, it has this deep flavor like they really spent a lot of time simmering the broth. I love their rice platters too (bbq pork and chicken). But my go-to is the cajun spicy shrimp! I had it with rice all the time but it also goes well with bread. I can't believe a Vietnamese restaurant can make really delicious cajun! The stew is spicy and tasty with generous serving of large shrimps, sausage and sweet corn! Of course, always order their spring roll and fried tofu for starters.

The families that provide the service are great. Very welcoming and kind from the moment you are greeted to the last wave goodbye. As a long term diner here, I can say it's changed. Portions have become smaller and was confirmed with my latest take-out order. I received a single spring of mint and Thai basil. My egg roll order now includes 4 and a table that typically splits the usually 6 eggrolls. They may have a bigger pack. I didn't ask since I typically don't need the bigger options. The broth is delicious here too. Not greasy.

Place has gone downhill over the last 2 years and prices have gone up. Wouldn't recommend anymore but here's my review from more than 1 year ago: I come here once or twice a week, not just because I work close by, but the food here is just outstanding and delicious. I'm a Pho fanatic and the broth here is very tasty and flavorful. The combo fried rice is good as well so are the egg rolls and spring rolls. Highly recommend this place for Pho in Vista.

Love the lime cured filet which is like ceviche but with fillet mignon and the spiciness flavor is excellent. The chicken is crispy and tender at the same time. First time trying the savory crepes and adding the different sauces dips makes it yummy. We were full by the time we reached the main meal and bo bo hue is nice to have if you want something hot and spicy. Cajun shrimp is recommended if you like Cajun of anything. Not to be missed.
