Phở Ban Mai - S San Diego

We arrived at 0910, the guy was working there but he didn't care to get customers for the business. We stood at the door for a few minutes to get his attention then he angrily sent us to a table. He didn't bother to bring us menus. This place is bad. Don't eat here. We were waiting for a good 5 minutes before took off for Pho Cow Cali which is better in any category.

Second time here and the place was packed! QR code ordering makes the process easier and the food arrived in a timely manner. The Banh xeo crepe was crispy, tasty and very large. It is accompanied by a generous stack of fresh lettuce leaves, perilla leaves, and mint. The marinated pork was a little underseasoned but thankfully not overly salty. My kids enjoyed their pho but my son’s dac biet bowl only had a few small pieces of tendon.The dining room is a bit stuffy and a little untidy but even with the electronic ordering, there were still some staff members walking around to assist with requests.

Didn't get our water. Had to ask for water. Appetizer came with the main course instead of coming out first. They didn't bring out 2 of our orders.

First time at the restaurant and orders take out. The server was not very patient and said it will be 45min at least. After 45min I returned and was informed that there was an item unavailable and would refund it to my card. After scanning my card, no receipt was offered or even asked if I wanted a receipt. The entire transaction left me very worried TIt was a scam. Will never go to the restaurant again.

This is the best Pho in Mira Mesa, don’t let anyone else tell you different!
