“If you're craving a warm, comforting bowl of pho, Pho San Marcos is a must-try! The cozy, casual vibe makes it perfect for any occasion, and the service is friendly and welcoming. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is tender and cooked just right. The fresh herbs and lime add a nice touch of brightness. For spice lovers, there’s chili paste and hoisin sauce to kick it up. With a variety of other tasty options like spring rolls and banh mi, Pho San Marcos is a top choice for a satisfying, authentic pho experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

“My coworkers and I would frequent this restaurant often. I would normally get one of the Large Pho bowls but other times I would venture out to Rice Vermicelli Noodles. These noodles were served with lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mints, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts and fish sauce. This instance I got it with grilled chicken and egg rolls. Great food all the time!“

“First time here. Great food! Really tasty marinade on the meat, really delicious bread, and yummy veggies. The older man working at the counter was really sweet and kind. 😊 The sandwiches could use a bit more meat in them, as it was a little thin- but other than that, everything was great! Highly recommended. 🙌🏻“

“San Diego Top-Notch with excellent refreshing soup”

I visit here every time I go to San Diego, and I think I've been there about 4 times already.

When determining the level of an American-style Vietnamese restaurant, the things you must check or the common features of famous and popular Vietnamese restaurants are as follows.
- Rich, savory and amazing soup
(Typical of well-used seasoning)
- Pork barbecue full of fire flavor
- Fresh and abundant herbs and vegetables
- Low price and huge quantity
- Appropriate ratio of Asian and Western guests (about half and half)

This is a place that satisfies all five of the above. The cool, clear style of the soup makes you feel refreshed, and the fragrant pork, full of fire, goes well with rice or noodle dishes. We provide plenty of fresh herbs, keeping in mind the essential elements that enhance the taste of Vietnamese cuisine.

There are one or two more famous places besides this one (Pho Ca Dao, Phuong Trang), but this one, which is not a chain store, is my favorite.“

“Very clean and inviting ambience. Food flavor is spot on. The savory and refreshing pho broth. The smokey grilled pork with broken rice. I'm a fan! Very reasonably priced. Wonderful customer service. Oh, and definitely try the Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee!!“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“We enjoyed the service and the atmosphere so much! It felt like being home, relaxed, and that made the food taste much better. You can tell that the owner is passionate about family-style service. I’m grateful we have this pho restaurant.“

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“Great food..clean restaurant..definitely quick service“

“I come here almost daily because I am obsessed with their match Tres leches with matcha boba and egg pudding. It's a combination that lives in my taste buds memory. like the marriage between a matcha frappe with flan. At the family table came boba and a snow cap that easily translates to tantalizing flavors jumping for joy! Then the Bahn mi is packed with the perfect ratio of meat, picked carrots, cucumber, and JALAPEÑOS!!! I love a jalapeño that delivers and these always hit the mark. The fact that the ingredients are fresh and natural are major brownie points.“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“Food was really good! We ordered the salmon with broccoli, marinated olives and a delicious salad. The fish was seasoned so well and it tasted very fresh! Salad was very crisp and had a good flavor. We had a beautiful view of the ocean while we were eating our meal! Our server was very nice and was able to assist with our food sensitivity to dairy. So, the chef was able to delete butter and used oil instead to prepare our meal. They were very accommodating; which we appreciated very much!“
