One of my to go places for dinner. Traffic is crazy even in the evening. Almost no parking. Only restaurant that isn't full house in the evening. Huge menu. If they change the furniture and update their menu it would bring in more clients. Very small family operated restaurant.

The service and food here was amazing!. We were out of town and decided to try song huong and was not disappointed. They had a lot of authentic vietnamese food such as banh cuon, bánh xèo. Bún thịt nướng. And a variety of street food that you can order to go. Portions were generous. Definitely recommend.

I love this place which has become my food-Togo. I have always picked the shredded pork skin sandwich, leaving me feeling authentic I got in my homeland. Additionally, I made a change in my brunch today with bánh cuốn , which tasted so good I do highly recommend this place to everyone

Traveling with family to San Diego, I have tried "bánh cuốn nóng" and sugar cane juice at Song Huong restaurant. I really enjoy the Vietnamese food at here. I would love to recommend for everyone.

Very good drinks and food . The owners are awesome 👌

Store is underrated because of hours and location. Food is 20% cheaper than the average. Avocado shakes aren't made of powder but a real avocado and it is to die for. I saw that at least 5 people who bought Vietnamese coffee within an hour so I guess that's good too.

Best coffee and grilled pork sandwich. Sandwiches are only $5

I ordered Grilled Beef Banh Mi here for a quick bite before heading to the airport. Oh man, that was SOOO GOOD!! The meat is very well seasoned. The bread was crunchy, and the vegie pickes were great. All in all, I wish I would have ordered more, because I am still craving for it now. Oh, and the price is very reasonable. $4.99/banh mi (June 2023).

Finally, some real food. Got tired of mira mesa area just cutting out the crucial ingredients to cut cost. The take out online is super convenient. Ordered banh cuon dac biet..the best I can get in SD

I went to song huong food to go for the first time and I love it the food was so good I try the banh xèo and it was delicious. There’s a lot of food choices you can also try. The employees are very nice if you are in the area try song huong food to go.

This spot has you coming back for more. They are very kind and the quality all around us great. You cannot beat their prices anywhere else with the quality they are producing. Check it out for yourself, you won't regret it.

This is such a good viatnamese spot! I love the extensive options for shake flavors and the prices are fair here. The drinks are brewed or blended fresh to order and the food is also super good. The chicken banh mi was perfect, exactly what I wanted and with an avocado shake it’s the perfect meal!

Locate in a Vietnamese Center. Owner and employees are nice, you can dine-in, take out, and also the best part about them is they have a variety of choices for party tray foods, and fairly cheap! Make sure you if going to order a lot, give them time in advance to prepare the foods for you. Next time you have a party, different check this place out!

Most authentic delicous vietnamese restaurant. At first i thought it is not a dine in restaurant because the name was “to go” but they have dine in. The Banh cuon was really good and it make from flour, not rice paper (so very authentic),m. The Chao long (interstine porridge) was also the most authentic i have eaten so far. 10/10 for the food!

To quote another less civil review: "They didn't speak a lic of english", and that was entirely ok. This was not at all American food, it was authentic Vietnamese food and drink prepared by real people. The drink was amazong amd the food was very very good. If you only speak english be prepared to point at a menu and nod, and enjoy the good food they make.

I was in the area for a doctor's appointment and I found this restaurant on Google. I ordered a banh mi and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get my order. The restaurant has a really calm and inviting atmosphere. If you're in the mood for a quick affordable meal, I highly recommend Song Huong.

I booked Lan through Facebook Marketplace. From the very beginning, she was very responsive and accommodating. There were a lot of choices and she was able to work with our budgets and schedule. The delivery arrived on time and Don, the driver, helped us carry everything in. Everyone loved the food. The shaken beef was a huge hit, as well as the shrimp, but everyone commented on how wonderful everything was. I would highly recommend Song Hong Food To Go!

I stopped by just because....I was pleasantly surprised. I got the banh mi with chicken. It was cheap and delicious. 😋 We are staying in oceanside. We drove back down. I ordered 3 banh mi sandwiches, bun rieu, Vietnamese coffee, and a taro boba. Though, we couldn't eat in and cilantros were missing. The food was amazing compared to surrounding restaurants we ate at and we tried them all. This is definitely the best! We will be back.

So good! I come here sometimes twice a week for their tofu sandwiches or fried rice. Really good Boba and smoothies and super strong viet coffee too! They are always very friendly, don't nickel & dime you, and the food is amazing for the price. Nice clean, relaxed family atmosphere, albeit a very small place.

It is a small mom and pop restaurant. I love getting my Vietnamese snacks to go. They make yummy and affordable bahn bot loc. The Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and popular here. The people are nice and friendly too. Only thing is parking lot sucks.

This is a small Vietnamese shop. I came by for a quick coffee break since i was in the area and was craving Vietnamese coffee. The staff were very friendly. Even though i was only getting a cup of coffee, she was patient explaining there are two types of coffee (bitter and sweeter). I tried my coffee and she adjusted it to my liking. They also have an extensive menu with different types of Vietnamese dishes at a very reasonable price. I’ll come back to try more next time.

I've ordered from them 3X. The 1st time I ordered they're fried noodles party tray which was great and ready to go. 2nd time I placed an order for 2 fried noodles party tray for work for the next morning between 7-7:30 am pick up and when my co-worker arrived to pick it up she was told it'll be about 15mins which made her late for work very disappointing it turned out to be a 25min wait however she waited brought the food to work and it was delicious so i thought I'd give them 1 more chance. I placed an order Saturday morning at 7:18am for 2 party trays of $80 to be ready for 3-3:30pm I arrived at 4pm and I was told it'll be about a 15min wait. I love your fried noodles however I gave you 2 party trays order for 2 different days and both times my food wasn't ready with more than a 8hrs notice each time. I hate that you guys lost my business because we all loved your food but because of bad service I won't be back.

Ordered a pork and shrimp crepe. The egg crepe was crispy to the consistency of a salt cracker. Not what I expected. The filling was mainly onions, very little pork or shrimp. Overall, not impressive. And, parking in the area is a nightmare.

Pros -the sinh to bo (avocado smoothie) and cafe sua da is delicious -people who work there se really nice Con -prepackaged food like the banh bot loc and banh beo was sour, meaning it's spoiled.

I Will never order from this place again. It will be my 1st and last time. These people does not speak a lic of English. I called the store 6 times. They hung up on me all 6 times. All I wanted was to verify the spring roll that I was going to ordered. When i finally ordered online, someone else called to verify the order and said that they will call the store to place the order. WFT!??. 2 hours later I got to the store they did not have my order. Waited another 45 mins to get the order. Then the price is different from online. They said it's the old price. I asked if they can match the price online but they did not. Horrible customer services. Not to mentioned I was already charged through online. So I got double charged.

Ordered through UberEats. Dissapointed to say the lettuce with the egg roll sauce had little black lettuce bugs crawling on it. The entire delivery bag was tightly tied and upon opening it two fat flies were fighting to fly out or decide if they would have the rest of my meal🤦‍♀️. Bummer..

Wish I never had came in . I walked in ordered a SPICY BEEF noodle soup, when I received my soup automatically saw a foreign meat part I didn’t recognize. And all this other random meat that didn’t look like beef I asked the server what it was no one spoke English so a random customer had to translate and said that it was a pork snout and other organs included. I stated this isn’t what I ordered and showed the item I wanted and they said this was the spicy beef soup it was a combination bowl of variety meats. I asked if I can get a new one since I don’t eat pork or organs and they agreed. I then get my bowl back and the meat looks like sliced beef tongue. I’m Mexican I know what langua looks like . I notice the meat was scaly (happens when meat is old) I took pics and felt nauseous immediately. I told them I couldn’t eat and due to the language differences they still charged me . PLEASE DONT GO HERE or you will get sick this place is a health violation.

If only they had negative stars !!!! One of the rudest service person I have come across in quite some time. I was actually visiting another restaurant in the same strip mall. Thought I might support the community and buy something at this establishment as well. I walk in and : Woman looks me up and down with no greeting whatsoever! It was dark, old and not very clean looking. Yellow and dusty looking pictures of food I don't want to be rude and just turn around and walk the heck out! Sol greet her and ask for a menu She huffs then gives me one extremely annoying that I had the absolute nerve to even ask. 1 look it over and tell her thank you and hand it back To her. She literally SNATCHED it out of my hand and added a eye roll to complete the horrible experience!!! If you can't tell I would NEVER recommend this establishment. But good luck to you and your digestive track. If you are feeling adventurous for a horrible customer service experience this is the spot for you. Oh it would be a -2 star rating
