SB Pho

Wonderful courtyard atmosphere and friendly service. The food was great! Very fresh, deliciously seasoned and the portions were good. I will definitely be returning as I am a SB resident.

The Beef Pho was amazing and Jade is amazing. So sweet and very attentive.

SB Pho has some really delicious food. Their online menu needs updating though, because the prices are $1-2 lower compared to the actual printed menu in store. This is a bit deceiving!

I usually order the veggie pho with steamed tofu instead of fried tofu. The small is a good size, and I usually struggle to finish a large. The ratio of veggies, tofu, noodles and broth is perfect.
The side plate includes cabbage, basil, and lime. If you want bean sprouts you have to ask for these.
There are some other great veggie options on the menu such as the tofu bahn mi.
All my friends who are meat eaters enjoy all the meat options on the menu.

Overall the food is delicious and portions are good. Easy to order at the counter, find a table indoors or outside, and when you’re done eating you can just leave. Staff comes around every so often to check in. I would recommend eating here, just be aware of the price differences on their website vs what you will actually be charged in person.

You order and pay at the counter. They bring your food to the table. That's convenient because when you finish eating, you can just get up and go. There's no waiting for the check.

The pho (pronounced fuh)is outstanding. I had the small vegetarian pho with glass noodles. It was great. There was plenty of food in the small size pho. I highly recommend SB Pho in Santa Barbara.

Best pho in town. Made with real bone broth ( for the meat version) also the Bahn’mi sandwich is delicious, light and crispy bread and super fresh ingredients. It’s a small
Family run business, we love to
Support them too! .

Found this Gem while visiting SB. Super good broth and tasty meat. Definitely recommend it if you're a pho 🍲 lover.

Ordered vermicelli bowl and zucchini. Food was very fresh and delicious.

The best pho in Santa Barbara. I go here about once a week and I always order a large beef or chicken pho. I always bring my freinds! Really good Vietnamese coffee too.

lol, if you’re craving authentic Vietnamese food, don’t do it. So disappointing and a waste of money.
I understand that it doesn’t have to be authentic but at least try.
Pho was trash. Banh mi was super salty and nasty
I came here because of the reviews
Only to discover that it’s all crap.
I only gave one star because I can’t give zero

What a fantastic little restaurant in Victoria Court. We thought the Pho was excellent and very rich! We had the pork Bahn mi, it was a full of flavor on a perfect roll.
We really liked the fried beef rolls. Definitely returning for more !

A standard pork banh mi costs $15.99, is small, and comes with shredded lettuce over cilantro. Not a good look. Maybe that’s a way to stand out, but not my preference.

It was nice to have soup on their patio with live music. Victoria Court is a nice area. However, I thought the food quality was standard. The service was a bit strange. The staff were basic in their interactions and forgot to drop off the plate of mint, sprouts, etc. And the sauce caddy was not automatically placed, like they didn't have enough of them for each table. Also, when clearing the table, the staff member was clumbsy and dropped utensils a few times.
