Pho King is the BEST in San Diego! We live in Escondido now and like coming to Pho King. The broth is always clean, smells, and taste delicious. My favorites is the Spring Roll. Love the taro smoothies is very natural. The coffee is strong. Service is always attentive and welcoming.

Come for the epic hu tieu my tho kho, not for the ambiance or vibe. This place has the best Vietnamese glass noodle bowls hands down… I’ve tried so many places in SoCal and I keep coming back here to pho King in San Diego’s little Saigon . If you know this dish, you know why it’s so special: the chewy glass noodles, the bbq pork slices, the stewed tomato pork broth you pour over the noodles, the fresh celery and fried shallots and little pork rind crumbles that top the dish… damn it is so darn tasty. It’s been run by the same family for ages and they have mastered this dish. Pro tip: Always get broth on the side (dry noodles) and just use the tomato pork bowl to moisten your noodle bowls. I dream of this place in LA because I haven’t found anything close to the flavor of Pho King’s hu tieu my tho Kho with the glass noodles.
It’s number 28, thank me later! 🙂

What was supposed to be a normal brunch quickly became extremely unsettling. While eating pho, both my boyfriend and I felt nauseous due to a strong odor in the dining area. After looking around, we discovered a dead rat inside a heater on the floor directly next to our booth. We immediately notified a staff member, who appeared shocked and rushed to investigate, confirming the situation. Due to the obvious health concern, we left right away. No refund or compensation was offered. Seeing a dead rodent inside the dining area is unacceptable, and we will not be returning.

Good service, tasty food, reasonable price and easy to find a parking space. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning. Even though the ceiling fans were on, we were still sweating while we’re eating… Also, the menu had little to no pictures

I’m not super familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, but I popped in here to help remedy that. The tongue in cheek name made it seem just a tad friendlier than other places in Little Saigon. I saw pork spring rolls on the menu, and I know I like those, so that’s what I got. The gentleman who served me made sure I knew I’d have to assemble them myself, then instructed me how to do so. Mine weren’t very pretty but I got the hang of it. Very friendly and kind, the spring rolls were so fresh, tasty, and healthy. I really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere, with Vietnamese TV on, showing cuisine and music and neat stuff like that. I’d love to come back sometime.

I order #32 It was delicious.
I order a side of veggie rolls they were ok.
The lady that took my order was very nice and explained to us how you actually eat this that was very nice of her to show us. The parking is not that big but if your lucky you’ll find a good spot. I didn’t really wait for my food too long, that was good. This place is very known around the community and I can see why.

Small hole-in-the-wall mom and pop place with little English spoken and mainly local Vietnamese come here. I love a good bowl of noodles so I came here and was SUPER happy. It was delicious and large and the flavour was everything I wanted and more. Nice waitress, very polite but don’t expect to get waited on hand and foot. They take your order, bring you food, bring you bill. Just like Asia 🙂
