Great pho spot in Escondido! I got the Rare Steak and Fatty Brisket Pho and definitely preferred the brisket.

I loved the tenderness of the steak and the flavors of the broth. I ordered a small and they loaded this bowl!

Le Bambou is an amazing higher-end Vietnamese restaurant in Del Mar. They even have a wide array of vegetarian options and bang for your buck lunch specials! I enjoyed the Chargrilled Pork on Skewer lunch special, which came with rice, salad, chicken wontons, and their soup of the day (not pictured). The highlight was the sauce on the pork. It tasted very similar to the Peking Duck sauce. I’m looking forward to trying their pho and other entrees!

The Large Pho Tai Nam was a delicious, substantial bowl of pho loaded with rare steak and flank! The broth was so comforting and flavorful, too. It’s now in my top 3 North County pho spots — check it out!

I enjoyed their Pho Tai Nam, my go-to at Vietnamese restaurants. The broth, especially with lime, sriracha, and hoisin sauce, was the highlight. I probably should’ve ordered different meat because it wasn’t as tender as I’d hoped. I’ll be back to try their Banh Mi!

Solid and reasonably priced Vietnamese spot! We got the Veggie Pho and the Rice Plate. The BBQ Pork with the dipping sauce was chef’s kiss.

We made it back to the Vista Farmers Market (highly recommend) and tried Vietnamese Grill’s Maxi-Mixi combo. This bang for your buck meal comes with lots of Pork and Chicken, shrimp, an egg roll, and rice!
