Another Pho shop nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we ended up checking out Pho Little Saigon. This mom and pop shop is tucked away in a small shopping plaza on Midway Drive and can be hard to miss. The restaurant is tiny with less than 10 tables. As you make your way to the bathroom you'll get to pass by the kitchen and what seems like prep/storage. It might look like a mess but growing up Vietnamese. This is how exactly my house would look like. I was craving Bo Luc Luc (shaken beef) and glad to say this did not disappoint. Their fried rice was exactly how I like it, with just scrambled egg and green onion. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and garnished with fresh herbs. The portion was just right and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. My boyfriend got the banh mi and he said it wasn't the best he had but still pretty good. The service was fast and friendly as we ordered, ate, and paid for our food all within 30 minutes. I'm glad we took this detour and tried a new Vietnamese spot here in Point Loma. I definitely want to come back for their Pho.

I came here to try pho for the first time, and I was intimidated and nervous enough to need to look up how to eat pho as I was waiting for my food. For all other first timers, do not fret. Just add some of the basil leaves and bean sprouts they give you on the side to the soup and squeeze in a bit of lemon, and you're pretty much good to go. I ordered the pho with chicken, and I also got an expresso with condensed milk on ice. It was clean, quiet and I was able to eat my meal in peace. It's a good place to stop and eat while waiting for the afternoon traffic to die down before heading home. When I left, I had accidentally left one of my bags, and the host practically ran after me to give it back. That deserves a star in itself, imo.

The store is clean and tidy. Although the boss looks serious, he answers all questions and is very kind during the conversation.This time we ordered Rare steak, and the pho, beef and soup were all great! The bean sprouts and other side dishes provided by the boss are also generous and generous??

Absolutely amazing pho and excellent service. It is always extremely delicious and the food comes out in minutes. I knew my first time walking in here based on the environment that is was going to be insane.

Pho was decent, noodles were too soft but the brisket was very tender. Broth was your average pho broth.

Been coming here since this special little restaurant opened well over a decade ago and it is by far one of San Diego's hidden little gems. Their Chicken Pho is the best in town and they also slow cook their beef broth used for the beef pho's for hours, which is probably why both seem higher quality and flavor than other Vietnamese restaurants in the San Diego area. They also have a huge selection of authentic Vietnamese dishes and items. The owner is almost always there and he is the nicest guy. I am surprised this place is not always busy as the prices are also low with high quality in what you get. If I could give an extra star on this place I would.

This is a small restaurant that's run by a husband and wife. The husband was super nice and service was really quick. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, a large special and a small rare steak, tendon, and tripe. The pho broth lacked the beef bone flavor and the rare steak was not even rare. I would give it 2 stars at most. I had to use the restroom before we left and found it unsanitary that I had to walk past the kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. There was food being prepped on either side of me, exposed. They should have some sort of dividing partition. If I used the restroom before eating, I would have probably opted to go elsewhere. I really wanted to award 3 stars because the owner was extremely nice, but his wife's pho was pretty bad and the kitchen was unsanitary.
Overall very dirty restaurant. Ordered pho but noodle all stocked together and flat. Looked like cooked while before and just added soup. You can pull up junk of noodle ball at once. Soup has too much fat on it. Cleaners zero place. They put big bowl as a regular size on the menus but actually receive small bowl and less food portion charged regular price. Individual size price is not on the menu. Never suggest this place. Meat had more bad fat on it. 4star review online is not true

Hello!!I have finally gotten the chance to write this review after 9+ months later, that’s how much Pho little saigons customer service and food meant to me. I was taking vacation here and this was the nearest pho place, needless to say the pho broth here was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I nearly hugged our waiter after eating here , the egg rolls were the best i had ever had so crispy and the yum yum sauce was phenomenal 5 STARS

The phõ is some of the best. The gentlemen is always friendly and the shop is cozy. Been to another phõ restaurant close by and they paled in comparison. If you order take out from this restaurant - don’t worry, the food stays HOT! A large can easily feed two people. We always get the rare steak. Next time, we will branch out. Just that the phõ is so good.Will update when we try more of the menu. It all looks amazing ?
