If you are looking for a lunch and dinner that will be filling not only for the belly, but for the soul, come to Pho Minh. I have come for several lunches to destress because the energy of this place is so relaxed. The team plays calming, meditative music. Think spa music. And while it is in a busy strip with a gas station, you cannot hear the outside noise inside. And other diners mostly -- and thankfully -- keep quiet as well. We may all be here for the same mood. Hands down, the two best things on the menu are the P1 and the garlic shrimp. I order my pho without noodles, and with a side of rice instead. A small is hefty enough for a serving. I once ordered the large and was overwhelmed by the size and did not finish. The broth has a deep but not too oily flavor and texture. It is excellent on its own. P1 comes with brisket, tripe, tendon and tripe -- all the fixings. They provide an ample side of basil and sprouts as well. Only the jalapenos are never spicy. And no Ngo Gai -- not sure if they serve it here. And they are not always generous with the meats, so you may have to ask for an extra side. I've done this and have heard other guests doing this same. Same with the spring rolls. Lots of lettuce and much less going on in the Department of Other Flavors. The garlic shrimp -- chef's kiss! Delicious! If you are ravenous, you can have it as a solo appetizer but, really, it is best shared among two people. If you devour this dish on your own, don't be ashamed. Honestly, you won't. It's that good. But you must love garlic. I will say that my absolute pho in San Diego is still Pho Ca Dao. But Pho Minh takes the second place, by far. And I will keep coming back for the ambiance, the delicious offerings -- which have always been VERY fresh in all my experiences there -- and the kind and attentive staff.

Somewhere around 1200 today I was feeling pretty lousy and totally exhausted by the time I got home. Luckily for me this place is on its Pho game! Need a solid Pho spot!? This is your "jackpot" stop around Rancho SD! This is a solid place! Ordered the P11 to go and out the door in less than 5 minutes! 15 minutes later I was saturated in delicious broth and spicey-salty lime Culantro!!! I didn't even have time to take picture!

They close at 9pm but don't go at 8pm because they will not serve you because they are tired.

Stopped by after work. They close at 9 but we got there at 8 and they were only doing take out orders at that time. I assume it's because they don't want to stay late. Kind of disappointing when you want to sit & eat vs take out. We ended up ordering to go to try it out any way. Shrimp spring rolls - typically most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to will serve spring rolls with shrimp and a meat (either beef or pork), however, just as the name says, it's just shrimp spring rolls. For me, I like a proportionate of protein and veggies, but the shrimp spring rolls were just for 4 half sliced shrimps (so technically 2 shrimps a spring roll) with lettuce, a little bit of noodles, and mostly bean sprouts. Chicken wings - they smelled really good on the way home, but the chicken wings were small, like party size chicken wings, and barely had any meat on them.Pho Tai Chin - my boyfriend, and I both got the pho. It wasn't bad, but there are many other places with better broth. I think the meat portion is decent. I had asked for extra cilantro, but in comparison to what my boyfriend got, it looks about the same portion of cilantro. I asked for some Sriracha to go, but I noticed it was an off brand. I thought it would be what they had in the restaurant in a little container.Overall, the pho was okay. I really wanted to love this place since so close to my house but I don't think I will be back. A lot of our experience wasn't a big deal but we would rather just go somewhere else that we can get what we want and actually be able to sit down.

I've lived in the Valley for about 7 years now and never tried any of the Asian spots around here only because I'm skeptical about how it'll taste tailored to Americans so I usually just go down to City Heights or the more known spots. However, I was hungover last night and did not want to drive anywhere far so I decided to check out my local area. Right off the bat I'm going to mention it was a bit Americanized.It's a small establishment with a few tables. Plenty of parking in the same gas station plaza. My son and I came here at 8:10pm and there were a few people seated and a lot of people trickling in and out which I liked. Some were to-go and some were dine-in. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and it was a nice family business owned vibe. We ordered for both dine-in and takeout for my husband. I got the special #p1 pho, my son #p7, and our takeout was for pork banh mi, beef banh mi, pork eggrolls, and shrimp spring rolls. I calculated my total and realized I was upcharged about over $3 which isn't a big deal but idk for what. Maybe the extra requests I made which is normally free at other pho establishments. Everything was really good and friendly and I enjoyed my visit. I would definitely come back if I were not willing to make the drive to the hood but wouldn't crave this place.I asked for chili oil and they gave a hefty amount which I love. I asked for the onions on the side along with "nuoc beo" which is the green onion whites in oil. They brought out diced green onions in oil lol which is fine but I figured because they don't get that request often. The broth was good on its own. My son and I tried it before putting ingredients in. However I noticed their hoisin sauce isn't like the normal pho spots it had a strong smell and was very sweet so that messed up my broth a bit. I also had to ask for fish sauce since they only had Knorr seasoning sauce out. Again, very understandable.My husband said the eggrolls and spring rolls were good and average like any other place. Now the banh mis. I know they tailor it towards Americans but dang it needed a lot of work! I initially asked if they had pate to add to their sandwiches and the waiter said no but I still proceeded to order 2; pork and beef. They were the lemongrass pork and beef that you eat with your bun (vermicelli noodles) dishes so as expected. But omg the bread was so hard and crumby like it was old since people don't order it often. It lacked flavor too such as pate, mayo, and seasoning sauce. I warmed it up the next day for leftovers and the bread got softer in the microwave making it easier to eat.

My fave pho spot in spring valley hands down. Broth is always on point and I usually get the beef ribs pho because I love how tender it is. Service is nice and the price is affordable considering how much every other place is charging nowadays

Very good wings, honestly, for the price I think the food is very much worth it. We spent about $32 for two large phos and an appetizer. Very good flavor and kind, attentive staff.

The food is great as the pho feels light to eat especially when its late. I went after 8pm and its take out only at this time. It is totally fine and all i care about is getting the food I been longing after a long day. When i got home, I ate my pho comfortably as i watch my drama. I will definitely come back to enjoy more pho and chill.
