Pho Tre Bien - El Cajon

Been awhile eating here. It’s changed a lot: garden pond area trashy and smells. Water foaming up looking bad, couldn’t see fish in half of it. Food quality has gone downhill and so has the dining area, dark looking with the added booths. Front door locked again and had to walk around. Only good thing was our waitress Tania she was cheerful and pleasant. Don’t know if we’ll come back, liked it before their kids took over. You decide! David

I called to place order and employee was not too familiar with menu. Not very helpful. The pho was okay, very aromatic, but lacked flavor. I recommend more fish sauce. Didn’t provide us with any roping for our pho. And the taro boba was very sweet for my liking. I love pho, and I was disappointed. It’s okay, but I would not come back here again.

I usually love this place buuut I only come when it’s not busy while food and service is phenomenal. Today it was pretty busy and as service remained great, food quality wasn’t there. The spring roll was still a bit crunchy due to the rice paper not being wet throughly, the spicy beef soup didn’t come in a spicy broth at all but I used the condiments to make it spicy. The rice was great though! Our server Lluvia G worked really hard and was attentive. She was waiting numerous tables and was constantly moving and attentive. THANK YOU LLUVIA FOR MAKING THE EXPERIENCE BETTER.

Food is delicious and the service is good, but the lemonade is really bad and the seats are uncomfortable.

Decent food at fair prices. Quick service. The staff were friendly and attentive. Plenty of seating and space. The place appeared clean. The environment was a bit loud to me and I did not think uncensored rap music was the best choice of background music for a restaurant.Food: 4/5
