While been sometime since we've been in CA, we always try to eat certain foods when we are here. A nice drive up the coast landed us in North County. Remembering some good Vietnamese restaurants in the area we did a quick search on maps. We weren't 100% sure of the restaurant we used to go to so we chose Pho House.

As with many restaurants this young lady who seemed to be serving as Hostess and server both, delivered water to our table expediently and asked what we else would like to drink. We were ready to order at that point and did so.
We ordered the six spring rolls, and a bowl of 'house special' Bun - rice vermacelli- with meats and Vietnamese egg rolls on the top. There was plenty of meat, both pork and chicken, the portion was generous. I'm here to tell you that this was perhaps the best bowl of Bun I may ever have had. Flavors were good, the noodles were very slightly warm, not room temp or cold.
IF, everything here is as well prepared and of high quality as the Egg rolls and Bun, then Run, don't walk,...

This is a newer location, a sibling to the long-standing Pho House in Oceanside on Mission near Pit Stop Diner.
