This place is one of my favorite places to go. It's never busy so the atmosphere is nice and the place is large with a nice modern style. The staff really care about your experience and the service is fast. Plates are made with care. You have to come and try the place. Poke bowls and sashimi here is a must try

My brother and I were looking for a new sushi place and finding out alit were closed on Monday, we stumbled across Flamin sushi bar and wow was this place Good. We had a great waitress who took her time with us as it was our first time and the menu is quite extensive but full of great options. I would definitely come back and recommend this spot.

I don’t know why I didn’t leave a review sooner! We’ve been a regular here at Flamin’ Pho & Sushi Bar three years ago while we were living in downtown, and we haven’t had a chance to go back until today, but we are so glad we did. We saw Sabrina, who’s been a familiar face when we used to come here on a weekly basis, and it was always a good sign that shows how much the business cares about their staff! She welcomed us graciously and when I gave her pictures of our previous go-to orders (I had forgotten their names), she stated them right away in the blink of an eye. We ordered the Salmon Sunrise Roll, Cherry Blossom Roll, Saigon Spicy Chicken, and we were immediately taken back to nostalgic times because the quality remained impeccable and delicious! We moved to Kearny Mesa where there is an endless array of Japanese and Asian restaurants and have tried them all, but we kept craving Flamin’ Pho, and we were so satisfied with our meal. I’m very glad we came back and everything was perfect as we remembered it. Our server Hayley helped us out at the end, and she was such a friendly and bubbly waitress that I felt like we have known each other for a longer time! We chatted about the many legitimate Japanese treats at the front of the restaurant for sale and her time in Japan, and I couldn’t help but think that the service here and the food was top-notch. Keep it up, Flamin’ Pho & Sushi Bar! We will make the trek and come back for sure! P.S. their draft beers are so delicious and cold and are available in pitchers! Cheers!

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the consistently excellent experience I have at The Flaming Pho. I eat there at least three times a week and am always impressed. The plates are always well-portioned with a gorgeous presentation, and the food is consistently delicious! Thank you for consistently providing a wonderful dining experience. Sincerely, Helen

Great food, at least everything we tried was beyond expectations. If pressed our minor nitpicks would be slightly overeager service, thick cut over spicy chili with the pho lacking the delicacy of the genuine deal, veg pho we ordered with beef stock came with veg stock regardless, and too much needless single use plastic. A solid spot, thumbs up.

It was a great place to take my girlfriend who wanted pho and I wanted sushi. The waiter was kind and very helpful with our questions about the meals. Since we went around valentines we received a heart shaped mochi and it was delicious. 10/10 would love to come back here again

Lunch with my son.....food was very good, service was prompt and courteous. Price might have been a little high, but we both had a beer and I had a bowl, and we shared 3 sushi rolls. I enjoyed it and will be back again soon.
