Pho was really good! Loved the Painkiller cocktail. It was sweet, but boozy.

Great drinks (peanut butter shot), great service and great food (love the wings and dry chow fun).

Finally, Guy got it right! Yum, this places was delicious. Not a fan of the wings. But, the Pho was amazing. And, House fried rice was heavenly. Great spot, I'm in love. So sad you're 70 miles away.

A must stop for OB! If you love peanut butter whiskey this is your place. The food is fresh and delicious. The quality is not what it used to be, but it still is delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Large picnic style tables and lots of outdoor seating.

Small portion and high price.

Unfortunately the brisket in the pho is far from fresh, which gave me nausea. I think the oil may be of low quality too. I had pho so many times elsewhere and this never happened before. Felt excited going in, and unwell coming out.

Have been going to that place since 2014, and lately been noticing more and more how this restaurant turned into another fast paced restaurant. Food is still good but service and vibe not as it used to be, homie, local, responsible. The music selection is out of control. And staff is too busy talking about their personal life rather taking orders.
Or like coughing over the custmer tables. Maybe its ok , it OB, who cares?!
Food is still good, great to get the og vibe back again for such an iconic place. Beer list is boring , which was a surprise…

This place is delicious, the best pho I've had in San Diego. There was a line but we were able to get seated quickly. Service was good, they were friendly and attentive. It is a small good looking restaurant. The restaurant was full at the time but we were able to get our food quickly. Overall really happy that I found this place and will definitely try it again soon.

The spicy garlic wings had such a unique flavor. Like a wings mixed with pho broth. The beef short ribs…some of the best I’ve had. And the mango sake… so unique and delicious !! Awesome spot !!

This is our second trip. Very disappointed in the food.
We ordered the chicken wings. They were very over cooked the meat inside was very very dry. Ordered the beef with pan fried noodles and also the pork. Very little flavor and very bland in taste. Also ordered the fried dumplings. They were fried so much they were brittle and dark brown in color filling was good. Maybe the only good items are those tried on "divers drive ins and dives." the only successful items were the spring roll and edamami. Hard to ruin those.

Came here for dinner with Friends on a Friday evening and was surprised there was no wait time to get a seat. Very open Ambience and lovely food!

OG Peanut Butter Shot 5/5 - I was surprised how good this morning was! It was like a proper peanut butter drink and not really alcohol. Mind blowing!

House Fried Rice 5/5 - Very creative one here with the seafood and the sausage and all of that inside. Also really appreciate how they were vegetables in this, and everything went so well together. I can totally see why it's a house special and one of their most popular dishes!

Spring Rolls 4.5/5 - simple, substantial and yum! Give me the peanut sauce on the side which was exceptionally good!

Sizzling Fish 4/5 - this one was actually sizzling! Very large portion size here and it came with some rice on the side as well. Fish was cooked perfectly well and had a good seasoning on the outside but the inside felt a little plain cuz it didn't get much of that favoring. Others on the table really enjoyed it but I found it a little plain and compared to the amount of flavor in everything else.
It was also quite oily to be honest.

Spicy Garlic Wings 5/5 - I think this was my favorite item among everything else on the menu! Proper crispy on the outside and still didn't feel too oily or anything. Really good amount of spicy flavor and quite a large amount of Wings on the plate as well. Game on a bed of lettuce on the play it and that vegetable actually went well with the spiciness of the wings.
10 on 10 recommend this!

Pan Seared Crispy Egg Noodles 2/5 - This was a very meh dish. We got the chicken and vegetable one and to be honest there was not as much chicken in there as expected. Decent amount of vegetables though so we do appreciate that, but overall the noodles themselves are just not as flavorful and it felt like a large slump on a plate.

I was excited to try and am a pho-natic.
Not sure if this was a fluke but I ordered two rare steak pho to go and got home to enjoy my first pho in a while and the broth was so salty it was inedible. Like with one bite I started swelling and my taste buds were burnt off. So a waste of $35 dollars and pho craving left unmet. Staff was super nice and it was super fast, but still inedible. Not sure I’ll have the emotional fortitude to try again in case of similar extreme disappointment. Shucks.
