Top Vietnamese Restaurant in Watsonville
Pho Kitchen & Boba Tea
1983 Main St, Watsonville, CA 95076, United States
Great Vietnamese Food in Watsonville! I got the #26 (PHO DAC BIET). The Broth was very meaty and flavorful. The noodles had the perfect texture and the meats were tender. I also got the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. The sweetness match perfectly matched with the soft boba. Only negative was the spring rolls. There were hard to chew and were at best, average with the peanut sauce. But Overall, the food was pretty good for one of the only Vietnamese restaurants in Watsonville.

Sanka Mochan Hanumn Temple -- Reservations Requ...
445 Summit Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076, United States
Reservations are required for weekends/holidays and can be made on their website at 9am (if the visit date is close). The reservations can get full before 9.30am and you will have to login next day at 9am to make one. If you have any qs, call them and the management is very helpful on the phone.They have limited parking spots and the reservation system is to maintain that efficiently. The management is mostly non- Indian. If you are thinking of a meal reservation, expect lentil soup with pasta/enchiladas. We were camped at Mt.Madonna and decided to make a visit to the temple. After some research, we made reservations & decided to go for the 6pm Arthi during our stay at the campground. Nice quaint temple on the Madonna hills and 10 min drive from Madonna county park. The Hanumanji mandir is well taken care of and you can see the bhakti of the people caring for it. The Arthi was good, there was prasad (sheera/vada/fruits) thereafter. We visited their cafe, the samosas got over by 5pm, chai was still available but it was the worst chai Ive ever had. From the cafe, theres a nice hilltop view. Overall a nice visit to the temple, feels like a quaint countryside.
Imura Japanese Restaurant
1994 Main St, Watsonville, CA 95076, United States
All in all, the food seems subpar and was not filling at all. I called to make a to-go order and asked if the Miso and tempura were vegan. The girl said the miso could be made vegan without the fish flakes but that the temperature had egg. So I ask for a to-go order of the Teriyaki tofu which came with miso and rice and she told me it also came with a salad. I asked about the salad dressing, if it had eggs, dairy, or fish, and she said she thought it had Dairy but she wasnt sure. I didnt get the vibe that she wanted to go and ask so I just asked for no dressing. She told me it would take about 15 minutes and I showed up about 10 minutes later, paid for the food, went to the restroom, and came out and the food was not ready I waited for another 10 minutes inside the restaurant. When I got the food she tied the to go bag so I was unable to see until I got to the car. She handed me the Miso soup and it was so hot it burned my hand. I opened it up and the hot rice and plain tofu were sitting in a box with a cold salad. If this is what they think Teriyaki tofu is they are sadly mistaken. I was excited when I saw all the tofu dishes on the menu, but if this is how they cook tofu then I probably will not be coming back here. I went back in and asked for teriyaki sauce because I did not see any on the tofu and told her I didnt think it was a good idea to put a cold salad in a box with hot tofu and hot rice. It took 5 minutes to get the smallest box they had with plain lettuce and a side of theyre not very good teriyaki sauce. I went out to my car to eat the food, because I knew that it would not be hot if I went to where I was going, but unfortunately it was already cold. The rice tasted dirty, the tofu was grilled on only one side with little to no sauce, the salad was warm, besides the small box that they gave me on the side, and this miso soup is so salty I cannot eat it. The side of tofu that didnt get grilled was put down on top of a bed of mixed lettuce and cabbage and the Cabbage absorbed into the bottom of the tofu making it not very appealing. A couple years ago I got some sushi from here that wasnt very good but I figured because this was a different kind of food maybe it wouldnt be that bad, but I am definitely disappointed. I dont think I will be coming back.
Hampton Inn & Suites Watsonville
75 Lee Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076, United States
I’m leaving this because I don’t think there are any reviews from Koreans!The room is clean and nice. However, its a bit narrow...haha (this is my personal opinion) But overall, its good. But the noise between floors is too loud. I dont wake up often once I fall asleep, so I was fine when I was sleeping, but it was so noisy while I was awake that it was annoying.Still, the lobby staff was friendly and asked for recommendations for nearby restaurants, so I wrote them down myself. I went to one of the three recommended restaurants and was very satisfied.Breakfast was really bad.. This is also Korean standards! I miss the breakfasts I had at European hotels. There was no salad, just bread, eggs, ham, and cereal. How on earth do you live by eating only these things?!!But we dont eat it every day, we just eat it briefly when we travel, right? Overall, I think it was a good hotel haha.* The recommended restaurant is Vietnamese restaurant Pho Kitchen & Boba Tea. I enjoyed the spices well and it was delicious. I wish it was there in Korea too..
