SB Pho

I stopped by on Sunday for some soup. I chose the Bo Kho and I'm grateful. It was so good that I needed to try something new to make sure Sunday was not a fluke. The spicy noodles y'all. So delicious and yes spicy not too spicy. The flavors! I'm well pleased with my selections. 😭😭😭

Fresh and tasty pho. I had the vegetarian pho. They have small and large size bowls available. The restaurant is not visible from the street, it's in a courtyard. The street us closed off for cars,however there are parking lots nearby.

We recently discovered SB Pho and are big fans. The pho is incredibly flavorful, and the ingredients taste exceptionally fresh. We also appreciate that you can add extra vegetables to the soup. After trying several pho places around Santa Barbara, SB Pho is hands-down our favorite. We’ve already been back multiple times in the past few weeks and plan to make it a regular stop in our restaurant rotation!

Had a nice Báhn mi with bulgogi (it’s a bit extra but worth it!). Fresh veggies. Great roll. Sturdy enough to hold everything but also easy to bite into at the same time! Quiet inside the restaurant (maybe add some music?) but outside courtyard is gorgeous!

Very good authentic Vietnamese food. Pho was steaming hot and tasty. Egg rolls are great. Owners are sweet and helpful.

Tried the bun bo hue this morning, and I love it. The broth was flavorful and not too spicy, and the beef was tender. The overall atmosphere and service was great too, but can be better. Will come again next time to try the banh mi.

SB Pho has some really delicious food. Their online menu needs updating though, because the prices are $1-2 lower compared to the actual printed menu in store. This is a bit deceiving! I usually order the veggie pho with steamed tofu instead of fried tofu. The small is a good size, and I usually struggle to finish a large. The ratio of veggies, tofu, noodles and broth is perfect. The side plate includes cabbage, basil, and lime. If you want bean sprouts you have to ask for these. There are some other great veggie options on the menu such as the tofu bahn mi. All my friends who are meat eaters enjoy all the meat options on the menu. Overall the food is delicious and portions are good. Easy to order at the counter, find a table indoors or outside, and when you’re done eating you can just leave. Staff comes around every so often to check in. I would recommend eating here, just be aware of the price differences on their website vs what you will actually be charged in person.
