mmm-yoso!!! is the name of this food blog. Kirk is out and about, in a different time zone. Ed (from Yuma) is also in a different time zone and Cathy is in the here and now, blogging.
When I started to write this post, checking on whether or not I had written a prior post (to link) was a bit tedious. Of this location, I saw that Kirk had blogged about it twice now, calling it Pho Hoa-Huong', but the signage now has ..."I eat Pho!"...
In addition, there is also a Pho Hoa located on El Cajon Boulevard, about which Kirk has also twice posted.
Then there is Pho Hoa Hiep, located on the other end of this same parking lot as "I Eat Pho", which is anchored by Thuan Phat supermarket. Anyhow, this pho shop has been here a long time, the interior hasn't changed, the food is consistent and gets to the table extremely fast once you order.
Delivery from the kitchen this visit was so fast that the Pho Tai ($6.30, small) raw beef still wasn't cooked in the hot broth when it was placed on the table. We like the pho broth (herbal-meaty) and noodles (not in a clump) here.
You can order Cha Gio as a full or half order ($3.50), which is nice. The rice paper fried wrapper is my favorite. The fresh fried spring rolls have a good meat to veggie filling ratio.
For years, I've been trying Bo Kho (beef stew) ($6.65) at various Vietnamese restaurants, even though I know the best is at Pho Lucky. The stew here is my second favorite in the County; it's rich and satisfying, with tender meat and a multi flavored broth.
Hot foods on a cool day, what a nice feeling. Hope all of you are enjoying this weather.
Pho Hoa 6921 Linda Vista Road San Diego 92111 (858) 492-9108 open daily 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
Ah. Good old Pho Hoa. The fastest pho in SD. My go to spot in Linda Vista.

I haven't been here yet...I'm sure my husband would like their soups. I like that they use the rice wrapper for the fried rolls (I like the texture better).

It is a great place, Junichi. Vietnamese 'Fast' Food.
This corner of Linda Vista and Ulrich is rich with places to try, cc. It's great for all the neighborhood, too. Rice wrappers seem more 'self made' and 'fresh' to me; the smooth wonton-ish wrappers are used for frozen bagged multi-packs of various rolls.
