If you're looking for a tasty bowl of pho here in Chula Vista, check out Pho Vietnam Express at 678 E. Street (619-427-2111). My husband had a pleasantly intense conversation about moving from Austin to San Diego with the owner, who was super friendly and welcoming. We were tired from the road, had caught colds on the long drive, and we were passing by with little hope of finding anything but fast food for dinner when we smelled this. We bought some of Pho Vietnam Express's tasty, reasonably-priced pho instead ($6.50 for an enormous soup with all the fixin's), and our faith in humanity was restored. Though Austinites warned us about SD's "overpriced" food, we offer this as our rebuttal; an inferior bowl of pho this size in Texas would have cost at least $11.50, and wouldn't have had half as tasty a broth. Lots of regulars were coming in and out, and everyone was greeted with a smile and left looking happy, so clearly we're not the only ones who dig this place. The only downside? They're closed on Sundays. Be sure to stock up the night before. Holler!
