Pho Leo & Grill

Ordered the steak on a hot plate, was expecting steak on a hot plate but got some kind of soupy thing with a weird tasting sauce. I love eating at Vietnamese restaurants and I don't know why I had such a terrible experience here. I came here with my husband and only because the place we usually go that is across the street was so busy we had to wait probably 20-30 mins and my husband did not want to wait. My husband tried my entree too and he also was not impressed. He ordered me something else because he felt bad and we got the BBQ chicken and broken rice (my other favorite dish). It was not that great either. Maybe because I eat at Pho Point Loma so much I can't go to any other pho place because I compare everyone to them, they have the best fastest and friendliest service and they already know what I want to order. The service was not the friendliest either. The guy who walked us to the table just threw the menus on the table and walked away before we even got there. We had to keep asking for water and napkins because they don't come by to check on you which is bizarre in a restaurant. Our server looked unhappy and her demeanor was not the friendliest. You can get away with bad food and good service, but not bad food and bad service. You decided to open across the street from the most delicious pho place I've ever had and I will never understand why. Please do better for your sake. I will share images of your dish vs theirs, I meant to take a photo before eating it but didn't think about it. The photo with the quail egg is Pho Leo, the other one is Pho Point Loma.

We were immediately sat, they have a large menu that is divided it's easy to read category Vietnamese coffee was a 10/10 hit, super strong and not too sweet Thai tea was not sweet enough for our taste but, you can really never go wrong Appetizers: calamari amazing, pork sausage spring roll good and it came with a pretty good sauce Pho Leo bowl was the largest bowl of Pho I've ever had, and it was flavorful. About 4-5 different types of meat and a LARGE tender rib Wonton noodle soup, wontons were good but only came with 3-4 wontons. They were decent sized so it didn't feel like we were skimped on anything. The broth wasn't as flavorful as the pho but still comforting and tasty. The egg noodles were cooked perfectly! Overall will come back, there's lots of seating and would be perfect for dinner parties! They have party pack options in the back of the menu

This is my new go-to place for vietnamese food. The restaurant itself is really spacious and what makes it stand out is the open concept grill center. It's really cool to watch the chef grill food while you're waiting. I ordered pho because its been raining and nothing is better than a bowl of pho on a rainy San Diego day. The broth was really good and the bowl was a very decent size. Service was amazing, food was great, and vibes were good. Can't wait to try all the other items on the menu.

The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor. You can really tell that care goes into the preparation. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back again soon!

One of the best pho places I’ve ever tried! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — not too salty, just right. The beef rib pho is super impressive — tender meat that falls off the bone, with fresh herbs and noodles cooked perfectly. The sizzling beef and meatball bánh mì are also must-tries — crispy bread, juicy meatballs, and a perfectly runny egg. The restaurant is clean, service is quick, and the staff are friendly. 👉 If you love authentic Vietnamese food, this place is a must-visit!
