12 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Encinitas

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“Food was really good! We ordered the salmon with broccoli, marinated olives and a delicious salad. The fish was seasoned so well and it tasted very fresh! Salad was very crisp and had a good flavor. We had a beautiful view of the ocean while we were eating our meal! Our server was very nice and was able to assist with our food sensitivity to dairy. So, the chef was able to delete butter and used oil instead to prepare our meal. They were very accommodating; which we appreciated very much!“

“If you're craving a warm, comforting bowl of pho, Pho San Marcos is a must-try! The cozy, casual vibe makes it perfect for any occasion, and the service is friendly and welcoming. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is tender and cooked just right. The fresh herbs and lime add a nice touch of brightness. For spice lovers, there’s chili paste and hoisin sauce to kick it up. With a variety of other tasty options like spring rolls and banh mi, Pho San Marcos is a top choice for a satisfying, authentic pho experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

“great spot with great food. I always feel welcome when I go in there“

“My coworkers and I would frequent this restaurant often. I would normally get one of the Large Pho bowls but other times I would venture out to Rice Vermicelli Noodles. These noodles were served with lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mints, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts and fish sauce. This instance I got it with grilled chicken and egg rolls. Great food all the time!“

“Literally the best broth I have ever eaten. If you like pho, then you need to come to Xin Chao. The food is fresh, affordable and most importantly delicious. YOU have to try the Beef broth--to die for.“

“First time here. Great food! Really tasty marinade on the meat, really delicious bread, and yummy veggies. The older man working at the counter was really sweet and kind. 😊 The sandwiches could use a bit more meat in them, as it was a little thin- but other than that, everything was great! Highly recommended. 🙌🏻“

“We arrived at this restaurant right when it opened for the evening and barely managed to get a table because it was fully booked. As we dined, the place quickly filled up, and the wait time nearly reached an hour. The restaurant's popularity is evident, so it's wise to make reservations in advance. The acclaim is well-deserved, though, as the food was very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.“

“Very clean and inviting ambience. Food flavor is spot on. The savory and refreshing pho broth. The smokey grilled pork with broken rice. I'm a fan! Very reasonably priced. Wonderful customer service. Oh, and definitely try the Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee!!“

“Great food..clean restaurant..definitely quick service“

“Great food beautiful atmosphere very fast service and very large portions. Brought back great memories“

“I was craving pho and I found this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Many of the reviews raved about the Pho Filet so I had to try it out. Who doesn't love filet mignon? The broth was tasty and the meat was good. The bowl was a bit smaller as you can see on the length of the standard napkin in the picture.

Service was decent, but who goes to a pho place for service? The restaurant is a bit smaller, but I went at a time when it was not as busy. I would come back and try the other menu items when I am back in the area!“
