Reviews Pho Fifth Avenue

Hits the Spot

The pho at this restaurant is just such satisfying comfort food. It would be perfect on a relatively rare cold San Diego Day. Service is prompt with and well-portioned dishes for the price.

Good food, service and price. Their pho broth is really yummy.

A+ on the Seafood Ph

What a great place for good inexpensive Vietnamese. The portions were very good especially for the price. My Pho' was very tasty and authentic. The egg rolls and fish sauce were also excellent. Even the service was very good. We will be back for sure. A great addition to Hillcrest.

What a wonderful addition to our neighborhood! Good service and great food. The Pho with brisket was amazing! We will be back soon and often.

I stop here after my 10 mile walk in Balboa Park. If you like a lot of protein in your Phõ this is the place to go. The large has lots of protein that will fill you up. You get get an adequate amount of noodles in my opinion. The Spring Rolls are very good as well. I always go here in the middle of my 10 mile walk to rest and refuel. Definitely a place to go if you like Phõ.

Located in the ❤️ of Hillcrest…Pho Fifth has some do the tastiest Pho I’ve had in San Diego (including on convoy 🤯). Not Pictured were the shrimp spring rolls which were devoured prior to any pictures being taken. This is a great spot to go to whenever but especially during May Gray/June Gloom or newly introduced grAypril. Parking is tough around there so find a spot within a few blocks and take it!

Probably the best spring rolls I ever had. Large, juicy and crunchy and oily perfection. Loved my grilled shrimp and pork on rice. Delicious pho. Great, friendly service from Kevin.

I just have to say that this location is overall amazing. The staff is nice and quick, even when every table is being occupied. We are regulars so they know our usual order and even bring out chili oil without having to ask. It’s the little things that matter! Food quality is always consistent and great. The setting inside is quiet, casual and clean. If you have not stopped in to taste, I highly recommend you come and find out for yourself how good this place is. My order today was filet mignon pho and I added chicken. Beef broth is my fav. We normally order the spring rolls as well.

This place is amazing! I have never had pho this cheap will super large portion! They did not skimp out on noodles and meat. And the quality is superb with the super rich broth. 👍 Great service and easy to find. Parking was easy and it was just around the back. Definitely better than most super expensive and popular places I’ve gone to. I love the quiet environment. Super low key where you will be served quickly. You won’t be disappointed. Will come again when I’m back in San Diego area.

Everything you’d expect from a typical pho restaurant! Broth’s fantastic, the bean sprouts and basil are always fresh. Their hot tea is a pot of this wonderfully floral jasmine that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere. Service is friendly and swift and a total staff team effort. Thrilled to have this place in uptown San Diego!
