Thien Huong

The food was absolutely scrumptious!!! Thrilled to have a gem like this in San Diego! The presentation was on point, and the quality was top-notch.The ambiance? Simply delightful and buzzing with energy. Not stuffy at all and super clean.And the service? Flawless and oh-so-accommodating.

It was my first time visiting Thien Huong since I just moved to the area. We arrived at this restaurant for lunch around 12:15 pm or so on a Sunday, and boy it was busy and bustling. Despite the business, there was still ample parking available which is a plus! We were looking for an Asian deli, and when we walked in it seemed like a no frills kinda place. You order at the counter, they give you a table number and then wait for food to arrive.We ordered Bánh cuốn nhân trứng, thịt and Bánh Mì Chảo 2. I liked the chao more because it was just flavorful and hot. The banh cuon was a nice snack, light and fresh as well. I really liked it. They gave us fish sauce with it, but I think personally I might prefer soy sauce with it. This is just preference though (I'm Chinese so it reminds me of Cheung Fun). Both dishes were freshly made, and the servers were also very nice throughout our meal.I removed a star because it took a crazy long time before we received our order. We waited for 40 minutes for the chao and 50 minutes for the banh cuon. This would have been fine if we didn't have things to do for the rest of the day, but part of the reason why we came here was because we thought the service would be faster.That being said, I will probably still visit Thien Huong again, but likely when I have a few hours free.

I visited Thien Huong on a Friday afternoon around 1:00 pm. I was able to get seated immediately with my group of 6 people. We ordered at the counter, received a receipt number, and sat down basically wherever we liked. There was also a spacious parking lot, where you are basically guaranteed to find parking.I ordered the Steam Rice Roll (Banh Cuon) with Eggs and Pork (Banh Cuon Nhan Trung) for $14.00. The steam rice rolls were made to a perfect texture of silkiness and smoothness. The eggs and pork enhanced the complexity of flavors in your mouth. It was an overall exciting discovery to dine at Thien Huong.

I've been here 3 times already. First time was take out only. I ordered the rice rolls with pork (comes with the bean sprouts and greens fixings) + meatloaf for $60? It fed a party of 10+. very much worth it in my opinion. 2nd time we went to dine in just party of 2. Got a combo and a rice roll dish (my personal fave). Simple and hits the spot every time. My hubby wanted to try the combo, very interesting! It was a sweet, slightly tangy dippable sauce. I love pate so this alone is full thumbs up! Service is QUICK! They bring out food so fast and it's always fresh and hot. The tables are always clean too. They always bring you water to start. Napkins on the table. 3rd time brought family to try it and they also liked it!

I first discovered Thien Huong 1-2 years ago via IG and when I came for lunch, and it did not disappoint! I love their Banh Cuon. If you like cheung fun (steamed rice noodle rolls) at dim sum, you will love this too. They have the same rice noodle wrapping on the outside. It feels fairly light but was still filling for me which was great.Have brought multiple people here who have since introduced it to others as well! It's delicious and inexpensive, and definitely worth the visit. Service is nice and with the indoor seating, it's a good catch up spot with friends/family. I almost want to gatekeep because I'm afraid it'll get super busy, but it's worth sharing about to support their business. :)

What a gem we found in SD! This is a great place for breakfast and lunch. We went on a Monday morning and was not crowded, but I heard that they get really busy on the weekends. We had the pork rice rolls. They are so soft, sticky, and light, nothing we ever had in New York. It came with a sweet sauce that complimented with the rice roll. Then, the Chao with the banquet was perfect for breakfast. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside.Our ice coffees were perfectly sweetened and just the right amount of bitterness. Service was fast and efficient. Staff were nice and always smiling. Really hope Vietnamese food is as good as one in California. Nothing can compare to this food in New York. Would definitely come back when we are back in town.

Egg Coffee is pretty solid, but I'm from OC so I've had better. The bánh cuốn is the best I've ever had, though, and I'm not sure how they do their nước mắm but it was also the best I've had. You HAVE to try this spot! Food is delectable and doesn't leave you feeling gross after.

First time eating here at this specialty Vietnamese cafe. We ordered their specials that came with steam and fried meats and rice paper steamed filled with pork and also meat wrapped in egg. This place is order at the counter, pay and they bring your meal to the table. They were pretty fast in service. The dishes were new to me so it was an interesting experience. The dishes we ordered were more on the healthy side. Place is very casual. Parking is a bit challenging though so come before or after lunch to get parking.

Saturday 2024/03/30 12:30- my first time trying Vietnamese breakfast foods!- staff was really friendly; they let me sit down first while I was waiting for my friend to arrive- order at the cashier then sit down at a table- we dined in as a party of 2Special 2 ($16.50): 2 types of bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls) (1 filled with ground pork and egg, 1 filled ground shrimp), topped with fried onions and served with steamed bean sprout, cucumber, cilantro, fish sauce, meatloaf, tofu, and some kind of cut-up fried bread - huge plate of food with lots of variety- everything tasted fresh and light- ground pork filling had a sweet soy sauce flavor, I liked it better than the shrimp rolls- ground shrimp filling seemed like it was made with dried shrimp based on the orange color and flavor- compared to Chinese rice rolls, these were smaller with thinner skin- fried bread was really tasty; texture was crunchy on the outside and dense inside, speckled with what looked like mung beansChao 2 ($16.99): "Eggs, Fried Meatloaf, Meatball and Hotdog," served in a tomato-based sauce and with a Vietnamese baguette on the side- tomato-based sauce was delicious and we ended up dipping food from the Special 2 into it as well- eggs were perfectly sunny side up- Vietnamese baguette was crunchy outside and very fluffy inside, although I noticed the bread dried out very quickly- meatball was really tender and flavorful, not sure if it was beef or porkEgg Coffee ($5.75): Vietnamese coffee latte topped with a sweet custard cream- coffee itself tasted very strong and paired well with the sweetness of the cream- our drinks came with cute faces on the top covering!

I'm not from around here and found this place on Yelp. We don't really have places that serve banh cuon where I live so I wanted to try this place out and I'm so glad I did! Restaurant was small with little tables. Service was a little slow but it was busy when we stopped in. I had the banh cuon with ground pork and my husband had the steak, eggs, meatball and sausage with a baguette. He loved his plate and ate every bit of me. The banh cuon was also very good. Wish it came with more veggies but everything was delicious. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town!
