Okay, so this restaurant has male Viet models working the front. Very friendly staff and they're helpful in recommending popular dishes. I got the fried Tofu Bahn mi and the pork Bahn mi. The portion size is equivalent to restaurants in Seattle, though this place has slightly cheaper pricing. The warm welcome, friendly atmosphere, and fair pricing will keep me coming back while I'm visiting this beautiful city.

First time I’m ever happy with the amount of veggies. I love a veggie heavy sandwich and these guys made it as requested. Also, it’s huge!

Don’t get the bahn mi beef stew, it’s awful. Watery and insipid. Also the coffee drink with boba is mostly ice and was missing the boba…
Maybe just a bad day in the kitchen, idk. Try the pho instead?

I order the Pho because that is what they specialize in. On the menu, number 6 is just enough to be filling.
Update - you can get a piece of protein with each scoop.

If you’re craving pho, this place is a must try! Their pho is absolutely delicious. flavorful broth, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The best part is the pricing. Very reasonable compared to other pho spots I’ve been to. You definitely get great quality without breaking the bank. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Good pho but the only downside is that they only make their steak rare while the rest of the meat is well-done which makes the tendon too chewy. They say they could make all the meat rare whenever I asked but I still get served only the steak as rare in spite of them agreeing to my request. This doesn’t change the fact that their food quality is very good and the old man there is sweet and polite.

I had stopped coming to Pho Anh & Grill for many reasons. Since Covid days, there was not much of a choice and currently, there are no other Vietnamese restaurants in Imperial Beach area. Pho Anh is just a mile down from my home. The food is mediocre, definitely not top shelf. It doesn’t rank high on savor, seasonings, and quality. Don’t get me wrong, the place is not terrible, it does its job. However, if your desperate and don’t feel like driving further out into other areas of San Diego: Chula vista (Broadway 4 miles) or National City (plaza blvd 8miles) or City Heights (El Cajon blvd 12 miles), Kearny Mesa (Linda vista road 16 miles), or Mira Mesa (Mira Mesa blvd 23 miles), then you will never know what you’re missing. Besides better seatings and service, you will never know what other Vietnamese restaurants out there have to offer and more. Why glorify a place if you have nothing else to compare it to.
Trust me, my family, my friends and I, have eaten at Pho Anh mulitiple times (more than I can count) until other Vietnamese restaurants have been discovered. Our taste buds are worth it.
I recommend you give others a try. Who knows, your rating on Pho Anh may differ later.
