Pho Little Saigon

Another Pho shop nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we ended up checking out Pho Little Saigon. This mom and pop shop is tucked away in a small shopping plaza on Midway Drive and can be hard to miss. The restaurant is tiny with less than 10 tables. As you make your way to the bathroom you'll get to pass by the kitchen and what seems like prep/storage. It might look like a mess but growing up Vietnamese. This is how exactly my house would look like.I was craving Bo Luc Luc (shaken beef) and glad to say this did not disappoint. Their fried rice was exactly how I like it, with just scrambled egg and green onion. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and garnished with fresh herbs. The portion was just right and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. My boyfriend got the banh mi and he said it wasn't the best he had but still pretty good.The service was fast and friendly as we ordered, ate, and paid for our food all within 30 minutes. I'm glad we took this detour and tried a new Vietnamese spot here in Point Loma. I definitely want to come back for their Pho.

I came here to try pho for the first time, and I was intimidated and nervous enough to need to look up how to eat pho as I was waiting for my food. For all other first timers, do not fret. Just add some of the basil leaves and bean sprouts they give you on the side to the soup and squeeze in a bit of lemon, and you're pretty much good to go. I ordered the pho with chicken, and I also got an expresso with condensed milk on ice. It was clean, quiet and I was able to eat my meal in peace. It's a good place to stop and eat while waiting for the afternoon traffic to die down before heading home. When I left, I had accidentally left one of my bags, and the host practically ran after me to give it back. That deserves a star in itself, imo.

This is a small restaurant that's run by a husband and wife. The husband was super nice and service was really quick. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, a large special and a small rare steak, tendon, and tripe.The pho broth lacked the beef bone flavor and the rare steak was not even rare. I would give it 2 stars at most.I had to use the restroom before we left and found it unsanitary that I had to walk past the kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. There was food being prepped on either side of me, exposed. They should have some sort of dividing partition. If I used the restroom before eating, I would have probably opted to go elsewhere.I really wanted to award 3 stars because the owner was extremely nice, but his wife's pho was pretty bad and the kitchen was unsanitary.

I love these like not so perfect places because they have good food. Small business and it's just the way it is but the food is great! A little more authentic than most places. Better food than OB noodle house to be honest.

My husbands chicken vermicelli bowl was not good. The chicken was so dry and hard. I tried eating a piece and it was hard to bite through...it was that over cooked. My steak pho wasn't the worst. But the broth was pretty oily which I didn't like. My noodles were also slightly over cooked and kind of mushy.While sitting in the restaurant we noticed this place appeared to be needing a good overall deep clean. The curtains hanging by the entrance door have very visible stains on them. The hand sanitizer bottles on the table looked dirty like as if people had sauce on their hands and used it many times over a long period of time and the sauce and grime built up and dried on the bottle.There was also some noisy banging/scraping sound nearly the entire time we dined there. It sounded like maybe someone was trying to use force to scrape a metal hood fan or something? The only time the banging/scraping sound wasn't happening was when the person working was out in the dining area taking orders, serving food, ringing up customers.

Pho was delicious! We didn't have to add a thing broth was on point...vermicelli wasn't that good I didn't enjoy the egg rolls. I wish they wouldn't if charged 1.50 for veggies but it's ok wont order this next time.

Been coming here since this special little restaurant opened well over a decade ago and it is by far one of San Diego's hidden little gems. Their Chicken Pho is the best in town and they also slow cook their beef broth used for the beef pho's for hours, which is probably why both seem higher quality and flavor than other Vietnamese restaurants in the San Diego area. They also have a huge selection of authentic Vietnamese dishes and items. The owner is almost always there and he is the nicest guy. I am surprised this place is not always busy as the prices are also low with high quality in what you get. If I could give an extra star on this place I would.

I ordered the pork and rice combo. My pork was a little over cooked, but flavorful. My fiancé got some pho and said that it was okay. I would definitely recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself, but we will probably be trying different Vietnamese places other than Pho Little Saigon.

Not sure what's going on here. Showed up hungry and ready to eat. Nobody was there, empty restaurant. Ordered two simple plates and over 3o minutes later we were given small plates of weird textured meat and their spring rolls are gross.. I hate to leave a bad review but this is an honest review. Poor quality meats here, place appears to be run by one older man, this cannot be done alone, it takes a team. Won't be back and will not recommend to others. Sadly spent $30 just to throw the food away.

Absolutely amazing pho and excellent service. It is always extremely delicious and the food comes out in minutes. I knew my first time walking in here based on the environment that is was going to be insane.
