Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant, San Diego, USA, April 2025

Company Description

Few people can relate, but most people can only imagine what it is like to leave your home for a brand new country. That was us - our family of over 8 immediate siblings, 6 in-laws, 2 parents, and a few children. Some of us were fortunate to escape on planes to the United States, while some luckily made it through on poorly built wooden ships.

Not a bad little noodle joint! The limited seating basically means any table is potentially a communal table. But the food is well-priced, exceptionally flavorful, and no-hold-barred spicy. That's my JAM!

Outstanding! The best Vietnamese food that we have ever had. Stir fried rice noodles are our go-to dish. Hubby gets pork, daughter gets chicken, and I get it with shrimp. Egg rolls, spring rolls, and Pho are also delicious, as well as the vermicelli noodles. Ingredients are always fresh, and portions generous. Please be aware that you should go up to the cash register when you are ready to go, or specifically ask for your check. I think that it's considered impolite to bring the check without you asking - like they are trying to hurry you out. We were fortunate to discover Bolsa the first year they opened, over 20 years ago. It became and remained one of our favorites!

Delicious foods, you should have for lunch and dinner. Especially, phở (Vietnamese noodles soup) you should check it out.
