All pho we ordered were delicious with generous meat, and the broth was seasoned well and super hot. I had p5 and tofu bahn mi, wow both were tasty. Thai tea was also good and not overly sweet, hot tea was comforting. The eggrolls skin were crispy and the filling was tasty. Definitely my new go to Pho in the area now. And surprisingly, they have chili oil avaible on the table, not every Pho place provides chili oil as condiment -ready on the table, perfecto!! Parking was available.

My bf suggested we take out from Grandpa Tao knowing I’ve yet to try their food. We arrive pretty late & she’s already mopping floors given they close in 20 minutes! Yet, she welcomed us inside with warm & kind smiles handing us a menu. We ordered x2 Rare Steak Pho + x1 Pork Potsticker to-go! Total was $42 & we received our order no more than 7 minutes later. I’m writing this review as we’ve arrived back home now–while eating my food!! It’s delicious. The broth is excellent full bodied & rich with flavor. I’m very pleased & will be dining inside during normal business hours very soon. Thank you Grandpa Tao for our lovely meal

I forgot my lunch at home and this place is on the corner. I went with the BBQ pork sandwich. josh weissman has a YouTube video where he ranks sandwiches and this sandwich didn’t really seem like a big deal at all. Let me tell you!
It is all that. Damn I been missing out. The pork was juicy and pickled vegetables were the best kind of spicy. So fresh and so yummy. This is gonna be a problem for me. But thankfully it’s decently priced.

The filet mignon pho was very tender and flavorful and the Thai tea tasted great. The gyoza was pan fried but not too crunchy. Always enjoy my experience here. Very nice staff.

While in town visiting my boyfriend, he took me here for a quick lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. However, what made this restaurant worth reviewing was the food!!
The pho broth is rich, hearty, and complex! However, it’s not heavy. I don’t know what their review is, but I even told my boyfriend while there, they should never change it.
This has become his local haunt, and now, it is also mine when in the San Diego/El Cajon area.

Took a chance to eat here. I am glad I did! Excellent food, freshly made and reasonable prices for the portions. Met the owner, a very friendly woman. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Loved the decoration. We were very comfortable. We had the Pho and egg rolls. The best I have had! We also had a delicious fried rice and a teriyaki beef dish. This place deserves a try.

Everything came out quickly despite them being very busy and understaffed. Ordered Pho and Vermacelli bowls and it was very good. Also got smoothies and they were fresh and just the right sweetness. Seems like a husband and wife duo who was running the restaurant and they were so sweet. Would definitely come again!

First time trying this place. The young lady in the front was very friendly as soon as we walked in the door and was very attentive to all the customers. She has an amazing memory and remembered everything we ordered. The food was super delicious, fresh, and came out fast. Lots of customers in and out for pick up orders and the dining room got busy within minutes. Clean and cozy environment. Highly recommended!
