Xin Chao Eatery is a casual Vietnamese spot in Del Mar. This visit was characterized by friendly, attentive service and comforting food.
THE FOOD
Chicken Banh Mi ($12): A well-constructed sandwich. It started with light, warm, and fluffy bread filled with moist grilled chicken. The cilantro, jalapeños, onions, and carrots were bright and fresh.
• Next time, I will ask for extra pickled vegetables to better balance the ratio of bread to filling in each bite.
• The Sides: The banh mi was accompanied by warm shrimp chips and a flavorful side of bone broth, which was a nice touch.
ATMOSPHERE & LOGISTICS
• Vibe: A relaxed environment with modern decor, featuring neon accents and clean, round light fixtures.
• Seating: The space is functional. There are about 35-40 seats total, including an 8-seat bar and some limited outdoor seating.
SERVICE
⭐️ The hostess set the tone with a kind greeting and it continued with friendly, attentive service throughout the visit.
OVERALL
A great spot for a comforting Vietnamese meal with family or friends.

I ordered the filet mignon pho, but the beef was cut unusually thick and the broth was not hot enough to cook it properly. As a result, the meat stayed undercooked and the soup developed a strong bloody taste and dark color. It was very unpleasant and not what I expect from pho.

Good place to have pho and I seen they have sandwiches too. The pho was 7.5/10 stars. The shrimp fried rice 8.5/10 stars. Tofu spring roll 7/10 stars. Chicken wings 6/10 stars.

Got the house special pho for takeout.
The beef was given to me raw in a bag, which wasnt too big of an issue as I was able to heat the broth to boiling to assemble it. However if I haven’t taken it home to eat I would have had raw meat floating in broth.

This photo spot has been a hit since going to it for the first time recently. They have a delicious pho bowl, i get the house special that comes with a huge rib in the bowl! I also get their egg rolls which are amazing and very crispy!

Came to try this place for dinner togo. The inside has plenty of room to sit and eat. Nice and clean. The staff are friendly and hospitable. I ordered Tofu Pho. It came with lots of tofu and veggies. It was nicely cooked. Order took about 10 minutes. Will be back to try some more stuff.

Veggies were stale. Happy hour was not honored after asking in advance. Overall quality was meh at best. Was hoping for decent pho in the neighborhood but it’s definitely worth the effort to drive across town.

I really like the food here, especially the pho, and I’ve been a regular customer. Unfortunately, the customer service has been consistently disappointing.
Recently I ordered delivery and paid extra for meatballs—which are basically the only thing my kids will eat—and they were completely forgotten. When I called they said they will add it to my next order- I reminded them and they made a big deal and said they need ti speak to the manager (never there).
Today was even worse. I placed a pickup order over the phone, arrived about 25 minutes later with my kids, and my order was nowhere to be found. No one seemed concerned, and for several minutes the staff continued helping other customers without acknowledging that my order had been lost. There was no apology at all.
When I finally asked again, the employee said she didn’t know what happened and that the order wasn’t in the system, then asked me to repeat my entire order. Again—no apology, no sense of responsibility, and no visible management involved.
The food is good, but the lack of customer care and basic accountability makes the experience frustrating, especially when ordering for kids. I really hope management addresses these issues, because loyal customers deserve better.

Outdoor and bar seating available.
The bowl they served pho in kept the broth nice and hot for the duration of the meal, which is a plus. However, with it being so hot, I guess it’s hard for the server to deliver the bowl without rushing to place it on the table. The result? Hot broth spilled on the table and onto my partner without an apology. The server saw it but just rushed away. Pho broth was a tad sweet with a hint of sourness, which was a little odd. The brisket was too tough and chewy. I did like the individual garnishes and condiments provided. No sate, so don’t ask. They have the thicker chili paste and Sriracha available, though.
We sat close to the kitchen window and were able to hear everything between the kitchen and FOH staff. The man in the kitchen was loud and sounded like he was yelling at the staff, but unfortunately, it’s how the older Asian generation speaks. They sound as though they’re yelling with a raised voice, but no. However, it made me feel bad for the servers because listening to that all day can make you feel some sort of way.
Overall, it was ok. Not a place I’d have on my go-to list but a place I can finally check off my to try list.

I was craving some Vietnamese food and there are not many choices in the Del Mar area. Luckily, I found this hidden gem.
Xin Chao means “Hello” in Vietnamese and you feel welcomed as soon as you walk into the restaurant. Everything was very clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was good.
I ordered the house special pho, which contains -filet mignon, back rib, brisket, and meatballs. All the meat was SUPER tender and flavorful. The back rib meat was literally falling off the bone and the broth was delicious.
For dessert, I had the fried banana with coconut ice cream and affogato vanilla ice cream. Both were amazing, the hot/cold combo of the fried banana and ice cream is really good. And the affogato is like similar to Vietnamese coffee, but BETTER! I’d come back for the desserts alone.
I’ll definitely be coming back soon.
