Hello again, mmm-yoso readers. Cathy here, blogging because I want to and Kirk doesn't.
Good morning, or afternoon, or evening, whenever you are reading this. Cathy here, with a confession and interesting observation. I somehow always assumed Kirk had posted on this place, and he hadn't. I have referred to it as 'you know, the place in the mall with K Sandwiches, the one with pink tablecloths' and assumed everyone knew what I was talking about. Silly me.
Well, here is one meal The Mister and I had, but trust me, we have have gone here pretty much regularly, because of one item on the menu…it is 123D, on this paper "To Go" menu…in fact, if you can read this menu (there are 197 items on this two sided paper), it isn't all of what you can possibly order once you get inside. 
There are a few 'variations' and sides and paper words taped over the menu.
So, anyhow, on this visit we got the #55 appetizer- Squid stuffed with ground pork and mushrooms.($4.99)
Not fried, not crispy. More baked… and flavorful with a warm sweet-salty sauce o the bottom (which went went with the lettuce, tomato and onions).
The Mister decided to go for more of a Chinese dish this time, # 141-Pan fried rice noodle with shrimp and vegetable ($7.49)
Most of the thick rice noodles were pan fried and had a nice crispiness crust on them and the shrimp had a good, sweet, full flavor. The vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bok choy)were not overcooked and the sauce was more salty and had a heat we had not experienced before…not Szechuan, but definitely a red chile…it was good and different. 
Then, I got my "usual" Bun Tau Hu Ky ($6.29) #123D, if I haven't said it enough.
Salad on the bottom (made with mint and cucumber shreds), cold rice noodles and the usual toppings of mint, peanuts, shredded carrot and daikon and then the topping- bean curd skin wrapped around ground shrimp..and fried. See that cross section? Oh how I crave this stuff. I look for it at every Vietnamese place I go and have only found it at three so far: Here, Convoy Noodle House and Pho Saigon Star. I have had it as an appetizer at all the places, even though it is not listed on the menu that way. Here, at Anh Hong, they charged us $4.99 or four large pieces. Worth it.
So, if you are in the Mesa College area, and don't want to go to one of the many other places in the parking lot, try this one; it is good.
Anh Hong Pho Pasteur 7612 Linda Vista Road San Diego 92111 (858)569-7515
Afterwards, walk on over to K Sandwiches (in the same parking lot)
Go to the back, to your left, and pick up a couple of pastries…then do what we did-drive to a Starbucks (there are at least three within 3 miles), get some coffee in "for here" cups , sit down, and enjoy your dessert. (That is a chocolate cream cheese croissant and a raisin custard swirled pastry. Each one costs $1 and is fresh made at K Sandwiches).
