About

Pho Viet Noodle on Chula Vista's Third Avenue serves a focused Vietnamese menu from a compact storefront at 864 3rd Avenue, placing it on the same walkable dining spine as the city's Third Avenue Village district. The restaurant's pho dac biet and charbroiled vermicelli bowls share the corridor with the Mediterranean-Mexican fusion plates at Romesco Mexiterranean Bistro, contributing to Third Avenue's growing multi-cuisine identity. The pho program centers on a slow-extracted beef bone broth garnished tableside with Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño, and lime — the classic condiment tray that signals a traditional Saigon-style preparation. Vermicelli bun bowls arrive with charbroiled pork or grilled shrimp over cold rice noodles with shredded lettuce, pickled vegetables, crushed peanuts, and nuoc cham dipping sauce. The sandwich section builds banh mi on toasted baguettes with Vietnamese cold cuts, pâté, and pickled carrot-daikon slaw — a grab-and-go format that complements the sit-down catering-style platters assembled by La Taquiza for group orders in the area. Specialty items include dry chow foon stir-fried wide rice noodles with beef, wok-charred at high heat to achieve the smoky breath-of-the-wok flavor known as wok hei.
