Que Huong Restaurant

• 4134 University Avenue, San Diego, CA 92105 | Directions
• 619-281-6008

Lavishly decorated, at least as compared to the more familiar pho joints that specialize in meals on the quick, Que Huong offers a more leisurely atmosphere. Whole families regularly sit down together around the tables that have Lazy Susans installed in the centers to provide access to the lavish spreads that come out of the kitchen.

The lengthy menu has section after section devoted to increasingly exotic meats. Beef and chicken start the parade, but they're followed by quail, venison, wild boar, and even crocodile. Adventurous eaters will have a field day with the 100+ item selection. Prices are all over the place, since some items are massive, family style banquets and others are as simple as a bowl of hot soup. Roughly speaking, ten to fifteen dollars per person buys more than enough food.
