Food is always great, they answer my stupid questions and help me change it up if I need something different. This is one of our Top 5 in San Diego.

They have very good bones and broth. Though I think they should add some veggies, I don't mind getting less meet for more veggies. On a side note, their servers are very impatient…

VERY GOOD PHOOOOOOOOOOVery good.Better than any pho that I had in Pittsburgh.The sprouts were super fresh and the portion, oh my, was definitely filling.Ordering was a little bit pushy but I think it might because they were about to get super busy. We went in 1 minute after they opened (noon).Broth was so good that i drank it all.

Amazing Vietnamese food at Shank & Bone! We started with the grilled scallop on the half shell which was delightful, four scallops total. Then for entrees we had the brisket & bone bahn mi and the braised catfish with the sweet sour shrimp soup. Everything was incredible, very flavorful, we ate until the plates were clean. Great staff and the food came out quickly. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Highly recommend!

Crunchy and deliciousThe beef stew gave me flashbacks to when my mom would make it. Seriously so good! Warmed my soul and I wanted to lick the bowl.Price was very reasonable!Thank you so much to the owner! You made my taste buds so satisfied!

It’s okay. Beef bone soup is almost the same as in China.

Come for the pho, stay for the other amazing speciality dishes! Personally, I’m in lust with the beef carpaccio. It’s so different than other carpaccio dishes I’ve had. Trick is to get a bite with a bit of everything: the beef, onion, watercress, peanuts, vinaigrette, AND the sliced lemon/lime WITH THE PEEL! I’d have picked around the citrus or just tried to squeeze the juice if I hadn’t eaten with a friend that showed me. The citrus slice is super thin and even the peeling adds to the texture and flavor of the dish. I could make it a meal in itself and if there’s more than two people at the table eating it, I have to get two orders.The broths are fantastic, the wide noodles are fantastic (but are hand made, so get there early if you want to try them) and their specials are interesting and delicious. I had the caramelized catfish with pork lardon in a hot clay pot that was divine (but did need to have more of the bones removed before serving, in my opinion. But taste was extraordinary!) The bone marrow is also a must-have for each visit.My second time in, the manager/host (owner?) recognized me. Great service.

I love Vietnamese food, been there, been to the authentic spots in SD. THIS IS NOT IT - bland semi-authentic food, for a lot of money. It’s mediocre at best. Go to Pho Kitchen or Pho Cao Cali if you want Vietnamese food that’s a 10/10. Have ordered the pho and beef banh me, broth is near tasteless, beef in the ban mi was tough and flavorless, no carrots or díakon radishes. Happy to pay more for high quality but this ain’t it.

The staff is rude. They do not care about customer service or making a good impression for their business. Not only did they never get my order started after waiting for 40 mins, they didn't even try to offer a refund, a free drink.. anything to make up for the inconvenience that was clearly their fault. They make you feel like you are the one with the problem and leave it at that. Paid $4 for what I thought would be an "Iced Jasmine Tea" - only for them to give me A TEA BAG AND HOT WATER for me to make it myself??? Why would you promote iced tea in your website if you don't offer such. The food was disgusting. $1 ramen has more flavor than their noodles. Almost 90 dollars for a terrible service, mediocre food and a tea that I could've just made myself at home. Hope someone with better business skills buys you out.

Pho-nomenal! No joke. The quality of the food is always amazing and the staff always makes you feel at home. I would eat here every day. The pho is pure comfort food made with love when it's cold and the bun bowls are refreshing and delicious when it's warm.

Shank and Bone is one of the best establishments in North Park. They have delicious pho, vermicelli bowls, and specials that never disappoint. I've been getting the shrimp or surf & turf vermicelli bowl with a side of their beef broth so I can have the best of both worlds. Shank & Bone is one of the places that will keep me coming back.
