Pho La Jolla

Does not look so much when they pass this little mini shopping center. it can be so worrying when compared to the large shopping center next door with many dining options. it is tiny, but powerful. in taste. the first plate was an appetizer, egg rolls that were hot and fresh from the cake. next were our main dishes, reisgericht nudelsuppe (to forget to make a picture). after that they saw that one of the courts was not properly done and they were friendly enough to take it from the bill without mentioning anything.

It is not surprising that this place has only 3 stars. the owner was very disastrous to me when I gave a job on the other day. he made some accounting on a writing next to the register when I entered, and he was noticeably disappointed about the amount of the tremendous or lacking that he broke in. So he decided to take over it. when another man took my order, he jumped in front of the bank and took over the transaction. first he tried to annoy me to order more than I wanted to order. when I went back respectfully, he was irritated. then I asked him a question about an article on the menu, and his ton became very contagious, impatient and antagonistic. I kept ordering and was kind and respectful to him all the time, although he had not deserved it. When I waited patiently for my order, he asked me if it was my first time in the restaurant. I told him that I've been there for over 20 years! (frankly, the only reason I go in there is because it's the closest place to order pho). he then tried to force me to eat in the restaurant, because it was practically empty during the evening meal and he wanted to use me to attract more customers. that is the oldest trick in the book. I kind of rejected him and told him I had to go. When that finally came out 30 minutes later, I ask him for a hoisin sauce and chili sauce. here is the thing very strange. he turned around and gave me a dead star and said: no! I was a little taken back from his bizarre outbreak, but I was still nice to him during this most unpleasant moment of interaction. I asked him again if I could get some sauce packages, then he went on to tell me a long story about supply chain problems and how he would have to charge me extra. I was so disgusting of his careless and unprofessional demeanor that I simply said thank you and went back, without intention, again and again after 20 years of patronage. the owner of this facility must realize that we expect a common courtesy and the most basic level of customer service here in the united states of America. he must look into himself to realize why his takings fall, why his restaurant is empty, and why he just lost a customer of over 20 years.

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER! the food was delicious but come with the intent to wait! Also they're very understaffed so that's most likely the reason. Super nice though, a little bit of a language barrier but nothing extremely struggling. Edit: I just received the check they charged me $2 for a fucking Togo box are u kidding me like yeah imma pay cuz I'm not letting it go to waste but seriously? Yeah never coming back. Pho was good, service eh but the extra charge topped it off.

I got the special combination pho. There was a wide variety of meats, some were nice and tender but others were very tough and overcooked. I was also quite worried that the broth was not hot enough to cook the rare steak, it also took a while for it to soften up the noodles. The broth really didn't taste like a pho broth to me at all, I couldn't really taste the bone or veggies that would've been used to make the broth. Overall, this was still decent, albeit a bit pricey but just wasn't what I was expecting. I think it's still a good meal if you want some noodles, but it definitely didn't satisfy my pho cravings that day.

Came here while visiting my daughter at UCSD and was craving for pho after our hike. Pho was flavorful and good portion but not enough meat. The egg rolls and spring rolls were very good! My sister even ordered to go too after we ate. Service was a little slow. Overall I'll definitely come back.
