Pho Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“Pho Cow Cali Express is located in Mira Mesa just a few blocks west of the 15 freeway on Mira Mesa Blvd. I’ve been here numerous times purely for nostalgia and because my family likes it here.

Sometimes you’ll see a line out the door so you’ll need to sign in. The wait time is typically quick unless you have a huge party.

My order usually consists of their Grilled BBQ Pork Vermicelli (Bun Thit Nuong) and their Egg Rolls (Cha Gio).

This restaurant has plenty of seats and the ambiance is very casual. There are TVs around and it’s mid-noisy inside.

The service is pretty quick given that the menu isn’t as large as other Vietnamese restaurants. There’s prices are also decent and competitive for the area. The servers are really just there to take orders, bring out orders, etc. - very casual dining.

One thing to note: The aroma will stick to your skin, hair, and clothing! And it’s pretty intense. It should definitely be your last stop of the day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Overall, Pho Cow Cali dishes out simple Vietnamese food, where the service is quick and dining is casual.“

“I come here for lunch from about ever other week. The bahmi is always consistent. The bbq pork is full of flavor. The bread is nice and crispy and the vegetables always taste fresh. I usually take my order to go but great place to dine in as well.“

“Its pho is one of best pho I enjoyed in SD. Its soup is light but has deep flavor. Even for a regular size, the portion was huge. Its popcorn chicken appetizer was good too (agree with other reviews).

P.S. Parking can be a bit tight during peak hours.“

“This place is small but OMG! Don't put the food in your mouth when it comes to your table because it is literally steaming hot! The chicken wings are like none I've ever had and fantastic orange chicken, egg rolls etc... DON'T MISS OUT!“

“Food came out quickly. Good quality.“

“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!“

“Phở Hòa is one of the best spots for comforting, authentic Vietnamese pho! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced you can tell it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles are fresh and the portions are generous, with plenty of tender meat and crisp herbs.

The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming perfect for a cozy meal any time of day. Everything tastes fresh and consistent every visit.

If you’re craving a hearty bowl of pho that hits the spot every time, Phở Hòa is a must-visit!“

“The both is so delicious. The food is good home made cooking. This is my new spot to come and eat. I recommend it to anyone. Come enjoy great food.“
