Pho King - San Diego

I ordered meat balls, brisket pho and take out to school. It's very delicious and quality. I'm highly recommend this restaurant?

Nice hot food served with a friendly smile goes a long way after a hard day of work. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious, also you can order over the phone or just order for take out, Pho King!

What a hidden gem. I have been living next to place for years and finally decided to check this place out. I thought it was another typical pho shop but this place actually specializes in hu tieu! I ordered the hu tieu nam Vang (rice noodle, dry version, soup on the side) order a large bowl for only $1 more! It was sooo good! So flavorful and portion size was perfect! If you're not a fan of hu tieu, they def got some other noodles dishes, rice dishes and appetizers as well! Staff here was so friendly! Can't wait to be back.

One of my new favorites. The pho is so good. Place is authentic. Affordable was about $23 for two bowls of pho. The broth was so flavorful. I rarely finish the whole thing but I finished the small even wanted to lick the plate. Loved it and they have lots of food options. Even the pho had lots of options including beef, perk, chicken or seafood. Loved it already want to go back. Service was ok but it's also cause shortwave on workers- noticed it was one server for the whole place. Parking is good if you find a spot but parking is busy.

Since my usual go to Pho restaurant has been under new non Vietnamese ownership, I’ve been on the search for a new authentic Pho restaurant. This week, I tried Pho King, in the Vietnamese concentrated area of El Cajon Blvd. The restaurant is a lot larger than it looks from the outside, so if you see most of the tables taken, there is a whole left side unseen until you get in the doors. One of the first things I noticed was that the front doors were kind of dirty with lots of smudges on both sides of the glass. Not a great first impression, but not something to turn me away. The workers there seemed to be in their own world as we stood waiting to be seated. One server, a very young guy with very short hair, greeted us and sat us right away when he saw us. He ended up being our server for the meal and was wonderful. He was on top of bringing everything we ordered and in good time. I had asked for a bowl of Nuoc Beo fatty broth) to accompany my Pho as I always do) and he didn’t forget to bring it out like most other restaurants do. I ordered my usual Pho Gan Sach Pho with tendon tripe). They are extremely generous with the amount of tendon and tripe, which is not the case at many other Pho places I’ve eaten at as of late. My partner ordered the Pho Dac Biet #9 on the menu). We usually order small, but decided to get large since we noticed that restaurants have recently shrunk the portions of their Pho. Well, it was quite a pleasant surprise to see that Pho King did not shrink their portions and were quite generous with the noodles and proteins. The large should have been labeled X Large compared to other restaurants. No complaints here, since it is just $1 more for large. Both our Phos were good and boy, were we stuffed with the amount they served. I ended the meal with a durian shake, which was alright. There should have been more durian in the shake, but it wasn’t bad. As much as I would come right back next time I crave Pho, I need to try other restaurants first. But I will definitely be back to Pho King again.
