“Hit the spot. The authentic pho broth was bomb, and they are super generous with the meat portions. Plus, because it was Father’s Day, they gave us an unsolicited 10% discount, which was kind. Fresh toppings, great food, and love the stone bowl presentation. Will definitely be back.“

“It's probably the bedt Pho you will find in San Diego. Tried a lot of places, but this places broth tastes clean and refreshing. Especially when other places may make you feel kind of heavy. The price is also really good as well.

Also, the last thing I will bring up are the host, they always find a way to make you feel comfortable while waiting for your food.“

“Great portions and great taste. Very friendly servers, I recommend.“

“So my roommates and I try new pho spots all the time, and this is one of the best spots we've been to in a while. The broth is herby, and just full of nice flavors it's not just the meat. The meat is also fantastic. The staff,
(I believe the owners?) we're an absolute delight. They cracked jokes with us, gave us recommendations, showed us a way to mix the sauces we hadn't already done. It was genuinely a great time and we will all be back.“

“I stopped by Pho Minh & Grill and it was a great place to enjoy authentic Vietnamese comfort food. The restaurant has a casual, relaxed atmosphere—nothing fancy, but very welcoming and perfect for a simple meal with friends or family. It’s a popular local spot with solid reviews and affordable prices.

The pho is definitely the highlight. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the portions are generous with plenty of noodles and tender meat. They also serve other Vietnamese favorites like grilled rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, and appetizers such as spring rolls, which make the menu nicely varied. Vietnamese restaurants like this typically focus on staples such as pho, bánh mì, and grilled entrées served with rice or vermicelli.

Overall, Pho Minh & Grill is a reliable neighborhood restaurant if you’re craving a warm bowl of pho or classic Vietnamese dishes. The food is flavorful, the prices are reasonable, and it’s a comforting place for a satisfying meal.“

“Went to dinner with family last night and had amazing experience. We ordered the spring rolls, lemonade, Vietnamese coffee, chicken pho for our kiddo and rare/well done steak for ourselves. Portions are huge, pho is incredibly flavorful, and to this day they serve the best Vietnamese coffee I have tried from any Pho restaurant in SD (and I have tried many)!!! Restaurant was busy (you know it's good when the restaurant be crowded), but they served us fairly quickly and staff were very sweet. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for great Pho place near Spring Valley Area.“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“We’ve eaten here a couple of times and always enjoy the pho. They have a vegetarian broth available and vegetarian proteins like faux chicken and shrimp, which cannot be said for many of the Vietnamese restaurants in our neighborhood. And it’s a really good broth, surprising flavorful and light on the salt.

The other thing we love to order here is the fruit slushies and boba. The fruit slushies, in particular, are out of this world. I would recommend the strawberry.

My only complaint is that they don’t always read/follow the instructions I write in when ordering online. Tonight, for example, I ordered the vegetarian pho with tofu and asked for it without the cilantro garnish and, still, my soup was decorated with cilantro leafs.“
