I thought this place was just okay. We stopped by for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised that this place had reasonable prices. I ordered a pho and thought it was just okay. They give you a lot of noodles and a decent amount of meat, but I felt like the broth was a little on the weaker side. The spring rolls were okay - the roll itself was quite sticky and extremely difficult to pull apart from each other but I guess that could be the nature of the spring roll wraps that they use (looked like rice noodle).

I was pleasantly surprised coming here! I didn't know this location existed until my friends brought me.I am part Vietnamese, so for me it's hard to find a good Vietnamese restaurant. I was very excited to try!I typically order Pho Ga (chicken pho) when trying the pho for the first time. The most important thing is the pho broth. And I really enjoyed it! It was flavorful and wasn't missing anything. It made me very happy to know of another good pho spot. I also tried the charbroiled beef vermicelli, as that's another one of my favorite dishes, and it was also very good! My husband enjoyed his combination fried rice as well, which had a combo of several different proteins.The only thing is there is very limited parking, but you can usually find a spot either on the street or in their very small parking lot in the back.All in all, I'll definitely come back when I'm looking for some good Vietnamese food!

My mo Took me to this place for lunch, nice little place. Parking is limited. A couple of old ladies are taking orders, and they can't nearly speak English. The food is amazing and worth the parking headache. You need to try the grill pork spring roll. It's so good, and the pho is filled with meats.

Flavorful & rich pho broth, well seasoned grilled pork & crispy egg rolls in rice vermicelli dish, and VERY potent viet coffee w/ condensed milk.. extremely satisfied with the quality of food, generous portions, & QUICK service here! (unfortunately, the shrimp paste w sugar cane dish was a miss for us and they forgot our spring rolls order which was totally fine since we were full). Was pleasantly surprised of how delicious the classic viet dishes were & adding this as one of my go-to pho spots!

Best Pho in all San Diego. Period. Pho Van 4 Life! I've been coming here for years and years, and I can tell you this is a no nonsense, just delicious food and fast service restaurant. If you're looking for like a boujie spot, fancy plates, and a hipster menu with vegan and gluten free options, go somewhere else. If you just simply fucking love pho, you're going to love this place.

I love pho van! Since moving to SD, I've had the worst time trying to find MY pho spot. I've tried Phuong Trang and Pho Duyen Mai and those satisfied my craving enough but after a local friend showed me pho van there's no turning back. Their pho and bun are soooo good! Com tam is yummy as well and you get so much food. Ofc if you're going to any Asian restaurant, don't expect service to be top of the line. If anything the more mid the service, the better the food probably is HAHA. This place is a good size space and gets a good amount of business. But everyone eats moderately fast so there'll usually be a few empty tables. So don't worry about wait times! We also order the Che ba mau (Vietnamese dessert with 3 types of sweet beans).

If you are craving Vietnamese food and are super hungry this is the spot to go to. I was shocked at how large the portions were at this spot. The broken rice and combination stir fried noodles all had sizes larger than most people's heads. In addition they stuff each plate with a ton of meat. In regards to the service and ambiance, the service was attentive and the ambiance is your classic pho restaurant.

Finally tried this place out after having it bookmarked for many years, hearing so many good reviews, and seeing a lot of delicious looking pictures from social media. I only tried 1 noodle soup so I might have to go back to actually try their pho. I'm not convinced yet but I'm also not putting my 1st time to the test. My husband and son got their pho they said it was okay. We are cow heads (Pho Hoa) so they are kind of hard to convince. I got the seafood noodle soup which I thought was going to be dry but it was a soup but it was still good.

Solid pho spot in East SD! Plenty of options from com tam, pho, banh hoi, and chicken wings We got 2 bowls of pho with fresh pho noodles, super big plus that they have fresh noodles as we haven't come across any other restaurants that carry fresh pho noodlesOur small bowl was super full and they did not skimp on the portioning! We also got the fish sauce wings and they were super flavorful, very crispy, but not too overpowering in fish sauce. Parking is a bit difficult because their back parking space only has 4 spaces in a narrow alley, but besides that there's street parking
