The pho has huge serving size for the cost of about 14 bucks and the sandwiches are the best I've tried in el cajon. Even when I order to go they always make sure I have everything I need. The staff are always attentive to what we need and are very respectful and welcoming.

Pho is quite yummy. However, we're disappointed with pork chop rice because it is too sweet and not fresh. No soup comes with the rice. More to say, it takes 15 minutes to have the order come out even though there is only us there.

This plaza has decent parking. There is outdoor seating available. Friendly staff and prices are relatively low compared to other “pho and grill” places.

We always order similar items at Vietnamese/pho and grill restaurants.

-Crispy wings ($12.25): we got fish sauce flavor. Wings were big and juicy with the sticky flavor.

-Stir fried egg noodle combo ($15.99):
This dish needed help. The noodles tasted stale and overly fried. The sauce could be thicker and seasoned more. The veggies were undercooked and thrown on top making it crunchy.

-BBQ pork rice dish ($14.99): The meat was sliced thin and grilled with a charred smokey flavor. Would be so much better if they served broken rice instead of regular rice.

-Pho filet mignon ($16.99): My mom really liked that the filets were beyond thin.

-pho beef rib ($16.99): My fiancé is a pho snob and he said he’s had better. The broth was clean, less aromatic spices.

We came during lunch right when they opened as the first sit down customer and it took awhile for food to come out. The last dish took 35 mins from the first. Best to call in your order if you’re doing take out.

Since we order identical or similar items at “pho and grill” restaurants, the food here is decent but not the best we’ve had.
