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.“

“We arrived a little after 7 pm on a Wednesday night as a party of 2 adults & 1 toddler. The restaurant was packed, but the host graciously cleared a table I'm assuming they usually use for host things to seat us right away.

Our server was so kind and friendly towards our toddler, and all the servers were very patient with us as we decided what to order since it was our first visit.

The food came out hot and quickly, and was quite tasty. We got the fried eggplant appetizer, drunken noodles (veg/tofu), Lao curry bowl (chicken), and mango sticky rice. The drunken noodles were up there with some of the best I've had. Everything else was good, but not amazing.

We had a great time though because of the service and friendliness of the staff, and will definitely return.“

“Fast service, pho delish. Spring rolls were lacking; half shrimp pieces rice noodle lettuce, that's it. I've had better, but the peanut sauce at least was good. Had to go outside and look at the window display to see what boba tea were offered. If go back for the pho but but the spring rolls.“

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

“I travel to this area for work and after working 14 hours or more, a bowl of pho is exactly what I need. I found this place on my first work trip and now I visit every time. I absolutely love the #10-rare steak and tripe pho. I also get shrimp only spring rolls. Everything is ready quickly, and tastes amazing. The restaurant itself is clean and relaxing. Service is fast and responsive. I'll always come back on my work trips!“

“Tried out this banh mi shop on our vacation and it was so good. We got the pork meatball sandwiches which were delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the meatballs were not dry like other places. The baguettes were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. If you come here, you HAVE TO get the Vietnamese coffee. We also tried the flan, which was good too.“

“Really enjoy going to Saigon Corner! The food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous! Their coffee selection is also top notch! The iced Ube Coffee and Vietnamese Salted Coffee is superb! I find myself walking in frequently! I highly recommend!“

“This is our favorite new neighborhood restaurant. Max was helpful with recommending the chicken wings as a starter. The Rib Eye Pho and Rib Bone Pho were amazing. We’ve also enjoyed the calamari on a previous visit. Abi was helpful in keeping our drinks replenished. All the staff create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, which will keep us coming back for years to come.“

“I was in the area visiting from LA with my future in-laws who are locals.They have been coming here for years and always shared how delicious it was.I was blown away by the food. The service is outstanding. It is owned and operated by a family. I will absolutely be back and recommend to anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine.“

“I enjoyed Pho Central so much ! The owner was so welcoming and accommodated us right away. The food came out super fast and was DELICIOUS! I’d def recommend anyone to come here, the atmosphere is so cute and perfect and cozy for soup to go or to sit in !“

“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!“
