Customer Reviews
Grandpa Tao Kitchen has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on over 302 reviews on Google
All pho we ordered were delicious with generous meat, and the broth was seasoned well and super hot. I had p5 and tofu bahn mi, wow both were tasty. Thai tea was also good and not overly sweet, hot tea was comforting. The eggrolls skin were crispy and the filling was tasty. Definitely my new go to Pho in the area now. And surprisingly, they have chili oil avaible on the table, not every Pho place provides chili oil as condiment -ready on the table, perfecto!! Parking was available.
My bf suggested we take out from Grandpa Tao knowing I've yet to try their food. We arrive pretty late & she's already mopping floors given they close in 20 minutes! Yet, she welcomed us inside with warm & kind smiles handing us a menu. We ordered x2 Rare Steak Pho + x1 Pork Potsticker to-go! Total was $42 & we received our order no more than 7 minutes later. I'm writing this review as we've arrived back home now--while eating my food!! It's delicious. The broth is excellent full bodied & rich with flavor. I'm very pleased & will be dining inside during normal business hours very soon. 🙏🏼 Thank you Grandpa Tao for our lovely meal 😌
I brought my son and his partner here for dinner yesterday evening, and we were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. We sat in the outdoor patio which was pleasant. The patio has lights, fans, and plants. It’s a closed patio which in my opinion closes off the traffic noise and movement. We ordered the Special Appetizer which has 4 small spring rolls and 2 egg rolls, a Miso Soup, Seaweed Salad, a California Roll that comes with 8 pieces, and the Chef’s Special - Sate Spicy Rate Steak & Shrimp, and the Stir-fried Broccoli with Beef. The food was good.
Every thing was absolutely delicious! Today was our first time coming and we will definitely be back very soon! Highly recommend the pho and chicken wings! Thank you for the great customer service as well!
The filet mignon pho was very tender and flavorful and the Thai tea tasted great. The gyoza was pan fried but not too crunchy. Always enjoy my experience here. Very nice staff.
I had the fried rice and it was excellent. The service was very good and the lady at the counter is very welcoming and hospitable. I hope to come back here soon
While in town visiting my boyfriend, he took me here for a quick lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. However, what made this restaurant worth reviewing was the food!! The pho broth is rich, hearty, and complex! However, it's not heavy. I don't know what their review is, but I even told my boyfriend while there, they should never change it. This has become his local haunt, and now, it is also mine when in the San Diego/El Cajon area.
