Shank And Bone Restaurant

A buddy invited me there, I wasn't hungry, but why turn down a free meal? 😋 Had a Japanese style lager (bomb!) The Pho with the bone marrow and shank has to be the best I've had in town, the broth made it great. I wasn't hungry yet managed to finish everything on the bowl. I will definitely take my wife there and enjoy a great meal. BTW parking sucks..

My TOP #10 Vietnamese Cuisine in San Diego! Locate in North Park so you will have to find street parking, but there is a Public Parking right across the street and its cheap ($1/hr) Flavorful Pho, sweetness mostly from beef bone, you can easily tell most of the food here are perfect combination between traditional Vietnamese style and modern American style. Price per meal is slightly higher than other Pho places, if you go there during their Happy Hour between: (3pm-6pm Mon. thru Fri) all tap beers $5, $10 Shank and Bone Bowl (picture). Overall this place is worth to try out if you ever go to San Diego!

My recent visit to a left me thoroughly impressed, I ordered their Rice Plate “The Works” with some shrimp spring rolls, and their fried chicken. It was nothing short of spectacular. The thick sliced BBQ beef, BBQ pork, Shrimp was tender and packed with flavor, a testament to the kitchen's skill in marinating and grilling. Each bite was an excellent balance of savory and slightly sweet — a complimenting blend of flavors. The Shrimp Spring Rolls were excellent as well. Accompanying the plate were aromatic jasmine rice and a salad. The rice was fluffy and served as the ideal canvas to soak up the delicious beef juices and sauces. The vegetables provided a refreshing contrast, enhancing the overall balance of the dish. What truly stood out was the attention to detail in the presentation. The plate was garnished with vibrant herbs, adding a touch of freshness and color that not only pleased the palate but also the eyes.

This is a great spot to get consistently very tasty pho in a cool/conveniently-located space with great service. Definitely pricey, but at least the food is actually good, which seems to be more and more rare these days. It's hard not to go with the signature pho every time, but all kinds I've tried have been great, the beef stew included. Drinks are very good. Apps/sides are worth exploring. Had a friend try the vegan pho -- I'm told it was tasty but the noodle-to-broth ratio was off, too many noodles. Still, having the option is appreciated!

We had a choice of four places to meet our friend and this is what he chose because it was different from his norm. It was a great choice. The service was friendly from the first hello until we finally headed out. The menu is mouth watering just reading it. Our server had good suggestions and everyone was more than satisfied with what they chose. I had the Shank rice plate (filet mignon) and I'm still drooling thinking about it. He went for The Works rice plate which was also amazing . My friend went for the Bun bowl and had a good amount leftover for tomorrow. After chatting a while longer we decided on dessert and tried the Chinese donuts and the Affogato. Those donuts were perfection and the Affogato was so good. Definitely add this place to your list, and you'll for sure want to come back
