Pho La Jolla

"Not enough broth they lessened it or made bowl smaller. I also have a bad knee and bathroom wasn’t open and he wanted me to walk to the buildings upstairs bathroom. The meat didn’t even cook the whole way and my chicken was cold the whole time bc of the lack of broth and it got cold faster because not enough broth. I recommend PT eatery. It’s farther away but good portions of broth to noodle and very hot. Phuong Trang is also good. The older guy watching at the front seems to lack understanding of customer concerns. I don’t understand how they are saving $ by lessening broth. They sure are doing it by not buying toilet paper and closing the bathrooms. Chicken pho was good tasting albeit the other problems"

"I ordered meatball pho and my partner got chicken fried rice. Fast service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. I eat a lot of pho and this rates at the top!"

"Pho was mid, and the portioning was decent. My only complaint is it's a little more expensive due to its location compared to other pho places I've been to."

"We were on a lunch break from a conference and ventured here. I wanted to love it as we have many Vietnamese places in Hawaii. Sadly I was disappointed. Service was slow and there was no ac. Eating phõ in a hot restaurant is horrible. My tofu bahn mi was good though I only wanted the sandwich and not meal which seemed to be an option according to the menu. I was already ordering phõ so would not need another soup nor rolls. The server did not seem to understand and brought me a meal and charged me for it. The phõ was plentiful. However, due to the uncomfortable atmosphere, I could not enjoy my food. The sandwich was more than enough therefore I could not indulge in the phõ so that was a total waste. The bbq pork was like char siu and a huge disappointment that my brother just left it. The workers seemed friendly, just slow to arrive with food or replenishing drinks."

"Please do not let the negative reviews keep you from coming here. This is a humble Vietnamese restaurant that knows its flavors without needing to be anything fancy. If they aren’t busy, you can walk in to the front and they’ll let you pick your seat. There is a variety of options on the menu but we ordered the chicken pho and the number 4 pho. It came with a plate of jalapeños, bean sprouts and thai basil to accompany the pho. The serving size was really large and worth every penny. You get plenty of noodles and broth. The broth was SO flavorful and tasty and clean. You get plenty of meat in the bowl. We left feeling very full and and satisfied."
