Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area!!“

“I forgot what we ordered but everything was very good. The owner was nice enough to give us some desserts to try and they were good. Portion is ok. Wish it could be a little more bigger. But the menu is huge. We didn’t know where to start. Will definitely come back and try more of their dishes Updated from previous review on 2025-07-03“

“Nice staff. Great food. They serve you a plate of salad w/ homemade tofu and a pitcher of lemon water with no extra charge once you're seated. At the end they serve you ice cream, no extra charge too!“

“Felt bad arriving pretty late; 1945 when they closed at 2030. However it was a long day of flights and our hotel was far away and reviews for this place suggested it was excellent. I'd wager a guess I've eaten at at least 100 pho establishments in my time on earth and for sure this one ranks in the top 5. The food was great. The beef ribs were AMAZING and those deep fried buns were to die for. The prices are very fair and portions filling for most any adult. Most importantly the broth was rich and had a good mouth feel. Beefy but very light almost as clear as a consomme.

Wish I lived in San diego so I could visit this more than once but gives me something to look forward to coming back for.“

“This is the best pho I have found in San Diego. I discovered it by lucky chance and have been coming back ever since. The service is always kind and helpful, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend stopping by at least once.“

“I’m use to the pho spots in little Saigon Garden Grove and this place is very reminiscent of that. The square tiles, the mismatched tables and chairs. The atmosphere feels authentic which excited me for the meal to come. Ordered the pho special and definitely did not disappoint. Very friendly owners. Very fairly priced matched with quality Vietnamese comfort food. Not much more you can ask for.“

“Great portions and great taste. Very friendly servers, I recommend.“

“The food is decent and authentic. Vietnamese coffee is extremely good! There is also plenty of vegetarian selections. Price is very reasonable.

Parking: There is a free parking lot at the back. The parking entrance is small and you may miss it easily.“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Food is delicious with great affordable prices. Definitely worth the drive.“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“Had their egg rolls with the rice paper a year ago from a co-worker who brought a tray in to work. Haven't stopped thinking about it.

But somehow, it wasn't as good as I remembered it. Still good but a little too dry and too salty.
Bahn mi was great.

Not much of a seating area so beware if you plan on eating in.
They only take cash.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not much room for wheelchair“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! They have my favorite pho and beef stew and veggie soup. The ingredients are always fresh and the soup is hot and ready to eat right away. I will always eat here! I order to go and my food is still hot and ready. The Thai Tea is sweet and delicious as well. This place was super helpful when I was sick and wanted soup, very comforting.“

“Authentic Vietnamese place serving only 4 dishes. But if you like made to order banh cuon (steamed rice rolls), cha lua (steamed pork loaf), or best of all, gio chien (fried pork paste), you really won’t be disappointed. These simple items are much better than what’s available elsewhere because of the ingredients and because of their freshness. Yum!

Note: You can reheat the fried pork paste in an air fryer at home and it still tastes good, but when it just comes out, the smell of it is so irresistible!“

“My friend invited me to her favorite pho spot, House of Pho, for a girls' lunch, and I can't believe I hadn't been here before—wow! While pho is their specialty, I decided to try the BBQ chicken rice plate, and I absolutely loved it. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled, served with fragrant rice and a delicious side of broth that added an extra comforting touch.

The portions were generous, and the flavors were on point. The service was quick and friendly, making the experience even better. Whether you're in the mood for pho or something else, House of Pho is definitely worth a visit. I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“2nd time this week eating there. Nice, cozy place, great food, great service. High recommended.“

“Absolutely the most of the most! The veggies are abundant fresh and crispy. the pork is tender and flavorful and the tiny rice noodles are hot and well cooked. they serve it with large lettuce leaves that you wrap all the goodies up as a Vietnamese burrito. and dip it into a flavorful sauce called fish sauce but it is not fishy and does not taste like fish. Tops! Every dish is tops. and the soups are also fun to try. A fun meal pretty much describes the Saigon Restaurant. Thank you, Victor. He's the top cheese there. I'm so happy this restaurant survived the pandemic.“

“This is a 42-year-old Vietnamese sandwich chain that started in San Jose. From 1983 to today, it has expanded across the United States and become almost a household name. My first try was truly amazing—I never knew sandwiches could be this delicious! Their meat is incredibly fragrant, paired with fresh vegetables and savory sauces. The bread is perfectly soft and chewy, creating a rich, savory flavor that bursts in your mouth with every bite!“

“Classic..................“

“i went in just tryna eat my food and mind my business… then this cute guy shows up, about 5’8”-5’9”, slim, wearing a green shirt, looking all sweet and precious and single-handedly made me feral
He kept checking on us the whole time, super polite and attentive, and even answered my stupid question like.
Give him a raise for real.
Anyway. I want him so bad. Why is he out here being adorable when I’m just trying to slurp noodles??
I also meant to give him a tip…a big one. I’m sorry boo I’ll be back next year for vacay🥲 I want you. I don’t know your name, you may not know me but I know you and I want ya😛

For realsies tho, the food was AMAZING. This was my first time trying Pho and I loved it, it’s now my new favorite food❤️“

“I had brunch here with my friend the other day. I haven't been here in years. The menu seems to be the same, but the food does taste a little different from what I remember.

The service was on point, and we stayed talking well past being done with our meal and the staff didn't make us feel rushed at all.

I ordered:
#25 the Skewered Satay Beef- the meatballs are not as firm as they were in the past, they completely fall apart when you cut them in half. But they were good.
#14A House Special Satay Pho- this was so great, flavorful and really filling. I loved it.
Thai Iced Tea to-go - very tasty, exactly what I was hoping for.

Parking was easy, there are lots of spots. The vibe was casual.“

“Always great I get vip service when I come here the food is always great“

“Food excellent good service and fast“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“My first time eating at this place, located in the Mission Gorge area of San Diego. The surrounding is always scenic and safe, and the people are friendly. The food is very savvy and culinary. Service was exceptional polite, creating an ambience environment, along with decors and sanitation, Saigon Star deserves an ovationfor its Vietnamese & Chinese bistro, as is should be IT: the local eatery in town....more dynastic ambient... Fantastic Four!!!!!“

“Delicious food! Excellent service!“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“Ran in bc another pho restaurant up the street completely ignored me when I asked for a take out order.. This was fresh delicious gentleman was so kind & I'm eating leftovers next day as I type this. Delicious !!! Closer to home easier to access. Plenty of parking!!“

“What a find! Completely unexpected gem in Chula Vista. Food was absolutely amazing. My garlic noodles with pork belly was the best pork belly I've ever had. By far. The cut of pork and preparation were perfect. My UK coworker gave a huge 2 thumbs up for their fish and chips. Said it was legit. Another coworker raved about their bao buns. Drinks from the bar were great as well. A must visit when in San Diego.“

“Delicious place to soup for lunch“
