PHOnomenal

From CT showing love to a great family owned restaurant all the way out in San Diego! The Pho was amazing and the menu was just as elegant! Highly recommend and worth every sip of my hard earned money has ever been spent on! Large portions and awesome vibes, couldn't ask for a better experience! Thank you, much love from CT

I had the pleasure of dining at Phenomenal in National City, and let me tell you, the experience lived up to its name in every possible way! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the extremely friendly and hospitable Sam, who prepared an unforgettable meal.

Sam took the time to explain to us that Phenomenal specializes in one type of pho, and it's a Cambodian-style masterpiece called "House Special". We were intrigued by this unique product, we decided to try it out. The House Special Pho is served with ribs and meatballs, creating a delicate blend of flavors and textures that is simply out of this world.

Simmered short ribs, beef bone broth, and perfectly marinated meatballs blend together to create a harmonious symphony of flavors that makes our taste buds dance with joy. The photos and videos we took (yes, we couldn't resist immortalizing this moment!) We hope to give you a glimpse of the delicious flavors of this pho.

Besides pho, we also ordered spring rolls. Portion sizes are generous and the freshness of the ingredients shines through. We ordered two dishes, but in retrospect, only one would have been enough, as the abundant pho awaited us.

The atmosphere of Phenomenon was also a pleasant surprise. They played a video of imported cars with hip-hop music in the background, adding a unique and lively touch to the atmosphere. The volume of the music was perfect, allowing for comfortable conversation without overwhelming the experience.

Cleanliness is paramount and Phenomenal excelled in this department. The restaurant and restrooms are maintained extremely cleanly, contributing to an overall pleasant dining environment.

What really sets Phenomenal apart is the exceptional service provided by Sam. He checked on us multiple times to make sure our meal was perfect. His warm personality and engaging conversation added joy to our dining experience.

In short, Phenomenon in National City is an absolute gem that lives up to its glowing reputation every moment. If you are a Pho enthusiast or simply looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, this is a destination not to be missed. I can't wait to go back and enjoy their house special Pho again.

Truly extraordinary!

Trying out the PHOnomenal!! The beef broth was so soothing and delicious for a little drizzle of rain in National City. Customer service was outstanding always checking in and making sure we were good . I really enjoyed the scenery of the place big large windows you can see the outside. Good lighting. Very clean and family friendly!!! :)

This is a great local, family run shop. Very simple menu but man is the pho incredible! The broth is so very rich in flavor and depth. The meatballs are fantastic too! The rib meat was very tender and fall off the bone. And I loved the coco cane drink. Love this place! I will be back

First visit and WOW!!! Pho that have So much flavor. The Beef Rib pho really is fulfilling. Great presentation on the pho itself.

Sugar cane drink is very refreshing, great for a warm afternoon. Thank you to a great team that provided us this amazing experience.
