My girlfriend and I were in the Oceanside area looking for a welcoming Pho restaurant. We chose Pho Oceanside due to its 4.5-star rating, which typically suggests high customer satisfaction. Having tried other Pho spots for both enjoyment and critique, I was genuinely disappointed with our meals here. I ordered the Rare Steak and Tendon Pho, while my girlfriend requested Pho with only tendons and an extra serving of tendons. They initially brought her the wrong dish, including Rare Steak, even though she had specifically asked for tendons only. My dish also contained minimal amounts of rare steak and tendons, despite our request for extra tendons. She also mentioned that one of the spoons had an odd bleach-like taste. Additionally, the waiter never checked on us, and the atmosphere felt unwelcoming and strange. Overall, it seems that many restaurants we visit lately are struggling to provide positive experiences for customers. Honest reviews only. Overall, for the price we paid, quality and quantity of food, professionalism of the staff, and atmosphere, I will rate this establishment 1.5 Star rating.

I’ve tried many different Pho restaurants and all I’m going to say is this pho is “On Point!” All spots typically treat you the same, but if the pho is good then who cares. Recommendations: P4 and combo fried rice, has that nice charred flavor.

Nice arcade selection, got the dry mix wings and bbq with tots. Everything was cooked perfectly, most places the wings are over cooked and are top dry to eat before you have your last wings. Family friendly environment with large dining area friendly staff.

The food was great i had the cali burrito and carne Asada was good, kids had fun with the games. They were about a $1 each which was reasonable. They had an atm, make change and coin for bills.

Good pho! I had the large chicken which had huge amounts of chicken white meat. Broth was a bit too sweet for me. Overall I’d still give it 5

Oh my!! Best Pho spot by far!! I got some lunch door dashed to my job and it was fantastic! Everything was packaged with care! Staff really pays attention to detail when it comes to including spicy oil, utensils, and napkins! Thank you! :))

Stopped for sushi at lunchtime. Plenty of seating and staff is pleasant. Food was quick and delicious. Pickled ginger and Spicy Miso 10/10

Tip: Don't use the link to their menu online, it's no longer current. They updated their menu and haven't updated the one online yet. The new menu has different items and different prices than before. I wound up spending a bit more than I had planned or wanted to for a quick lunch but the owner was kind enough to give me a complementary miso soup for the inconvenience. I think the direction they are trying to go is a bit more sophisticated with food that can really showcase the Chef's skills and training. I didn't notice it till I was writing this review, but the new menu has a different name on it, so maybe they are changing the name of the restaurant? I don't know. I hope it works out. Everything sounded delicious.

Blue Ocean is my new favorite sushi spot in North County! We went for a happy hour on my birthday and were blown away by the quality and quantity of each of their dishes. The tomago nigiri was A+ perfectly seasoned and the wakame is soooo tasty. The rest of the nigiri was perfect and as expected for top notch fish. The rice was also perfectly seasoned. The crispy shrimp was plump and perfectly covered in a sweet and savory sauce. We tried two skewers - the pork with pineapple and the steak. Both were superb. I think I liked the pork one a little better because the pineapple was a perfect foil for the juicy pork. The birthday chocolate cake with a savory caramel and crispy amaranth was sublime. Not too sweet with lots of complexity. This isn’t our first time nor will it be the last time. If you want truly exceptional sushi and skewers. This is the place to go. Don’t sleep on the soup as well - it’s rich, dotted with tiny mushrooms, and very satisfying. There is plenty of parking in the lot or nearby. They also have drink specials weekly - I highly recommend the whiskey Wednesday!

Hands down the BEST, freshest, most flavorful food I’ve had in a very long time. Additionally, the environment is extremely pleasant and lively, but also not too loud. We ordered the Kaboconut Soup, filet + pineapple robata, Amberjack Carpaccio, and Marine Boy roll. As well as the Pina Verde (WOW) and the cucumber Saketini. We will 1000% be back every time we’re in town because I would love to try more items on their delicious and diverse menu! Lastly, thank you Meimei for being an awesome server!

Adding to place to our list of favorite sushi places, and they have several locations. We came here in a group of 7 and had a wait time of 20 mins. I personally think that it's not too bad at that time because it was a full house. When we sat down our server was kind enough to let us know that the kitchen was backlogged and might take more than 15 mins for our orders to come out. She took our orders as soon as we were ready. Their menu has a large selection to choose from and it might be overwhelming because of all the good food items you would want to order. We ended up getting several rolls to share and they came out much faster than we expected. My personal favorite and I highly recommend the Chirashi Sushi, I loved their North Coast Signature Roll and I enjoyed the Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll. Also, we were told that a part of the proceeds from the sales of the North Coast Signature Roll goes to a good cause. That's a great motivation for me to get it - and it was also really good. On top all the good things I shared here, what was really the best part was the freshness of the ingredients, how clean it was, and how generous the portions are. The rolls and the sushi were big and had more meat that rice/extenders. We will definitely come back here again!

My favorite sushi place in north county San Diego! I am half Japanese and grew up in a Japanese household, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to Japanese food. The Hooked On in Carlsbad has fresh sushi that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated after. I usually get the vitamin roll (see roll with a flower in the picture) and they use fresh crab instead of imitation, which I LOVE. It does have fresh lime on top, so it’s definitely for citrus lovers. Their Mexican roll is also delicious if you love some spice and heartiness in your rolls. Staff is always on top of it and friendly. Prices aren’t crazy. 10/10 recommend and so does my family!

We enjoyed the service and the atmosphere so much! It felt like being home, relaxed, and that made the food taste much better. You can tell that the owner is passionate about family-style service. I’m grateful we have this pho restaurant.

I am here at Pho Lee again for lunch. This time, I orders a large bowl of Phở Dặc Biệt and it is very tasty and yummy! Food quality, customer service and food preparation time, and restaurant cleaningness are outstanding. Chè Ba Màu here is tasting way better than other local Vietnamese restaurant. Will come back for more soon. 22 Aug 2019: We are here again for more food: ordered Pho Dac Biet for the wife and Bun Rieu for me. Both are excellent and tasty! Will come back for more different dishes!

I stopped by this taco joint after hearing rave reviews. The carne asada tacos were flavorful, and the handmade tortillas added an authentic touch. However, the wait time was longer than expected, and seating was limited. Despite these minor issues, the quality of the food made it a worthwhile visit.​

Price is reasonable. Food is decently fresh. Portions are decent. Good place to have quick lunch or dinner. Nothing fancy, but enjoyable .

Honestly, have been on a food hunt trying out different acai bowls from places here in North county and so far, this is the best had, look create your own option is definitely the go-to and gets your money's worth. The bases are very tasty as well and they allow you to have a sample of each you'd like

Update: 05/19/21. Incredibly disappointed. I used to love this place but it has consistently gone down the past three years. The prices have almost doubled and the quality is terrible. I ordered my staple (Berry^2) and couldn’t even eat the entire bowl. They no longer make the smoothie portion fresh, it’s some weird pre-made concoction. The texture was almost chewy and had an odd taste. You can see the difference in color from my first review, posted several years ago, and the one I took today - it almost has a gray color. I won’t be going back, and would not recommend. Love this place! My daughter and I split the "Berry2" bowl, which was plenty for two people. The service was also great - helpful, pleasant, and fast. Can't wait to go back!

The most authentic Thai dish I’ve ever had in San Diego. I had Beef Kaprao (Spicy Basil) #7. Super delicious and spicy!!!! If you like beef + spicy, this is a must for you. Wondering if anyone ever had spicy #10. Lol

Soooo amazing. I ordered Pra Ram Pork and Pla Sam Rod with white rice. The flavors were fabulous. White rice was excellent too. The staff is very friendly and her food came out quick. There is my new favorite Thai restaurant in Escondido.

Everything we ate at Tikka Pizza Kitchen was delicious! We had the curry veggie delight pizza - it has a satisfying creamy curry “cheese” sauce, tasty vegetables, and good soft-chewy-slightly crisp crust. So good, I ordered one to take home. Rani at the register gave great suggestions and excellent customer service. We ate inside at the one tiny table, so I might not suggest hosting a big party there. Instead get some takeout or have them cater!

A unique hybrid of cuisines for sure. The flavors and spiciness were amazing and at times, overwhelming for a pizza. Slices are cut well and with the right size. Crust is like a pizza crust, unlike a Naan as expected - but overall very nice. Checking through menu to see the other dishes being offered - willing to come back and try more plates.

One thing, I notice not to complane.It was 10 of usI noticed that both of the managers were going by 2 every table to see if everything was good.She never said anything to us I wasn't expecting her. But it's only curiosity, we are Hispanic and African Americans at the table But the server was excellent. He did such a great job took good care of us. And we will very happy with his service. Don't remember the guy's name but he has his mustache On each end to de side thank you for your wonderful service

We enjoyed a great dinner on Mother's Day. It was very busy, but the wait wasn't long. Our waiter was very nice and made it super easy for us to order. Big portions and delicious food 😋
