This place has great food!!! The older gentleman is so kind and goes out of his way to make sure we are happy! He kept our drinks full and checked on us often. I tried the curry this time not your typical curry, it was like a soup with curry seasoning. would have preferred it with chicken breast instead of legs but not a big deal. Very delicious! The all time best fried egg rolls ever!!! Love this place. Went with a friend and we didnt realize we had talked for hours. We apologized for staying so long but the waiter was so nice about it. Even commented on good friendships! The parking lot is right out front and Ive never had an issue with it. Overall a great place to eat!!

Restaurant is very clean, service is fast and food is delicious. We ordered the chicken pho, rice vermicelli with bbq pork and shrimp patty, bbq pork sandwich and taro boba. Its always delicious and a hearty serving. BBQ pork is smokey and delicious. Sandwich is flaky and full of meat and pickled veggies. The taro Boba is really good. Must try if youre in the mood for pho.

Love the Pho here. I ordered #26. See the attached picture.

Unfortunately I had to give this rating because the experience was subpar.Firstly and most shockingly, the bowl of soup I ordered was very underwhelming. The broth had no good taste, it almost tasted as if it were made from dirty dish water, and I only got 5 little weenie strips of meat in a sea of flavorless noodles.Also, the service didnt make anything better. The man was rude and gave dirty looks. But thats to be expected, so I digress.The Boba drink was good though!...and its a really nice business, so hopefully they pick up their slack.

Food was great but can’t say the same thing about their customer service. The guy that takes your orders is rude and very unwelcoming. Sadly don’t think I would be coming back.

Our two orders of pho seemed to be way too much slices of fat instead of steak and flank steak. Wont be returning. Dont recommend. $8.50 a bowl plus the add on we added are not worth it for the price.

Very delicious food. Great customer service. I ordered to go and the sat me down, gave me water. Food was served very quickly, which was great since I was on lunch break. You can call ahead of time.

I really enjoyed their pho, I ordered a pho Thai and it came out pretty fast. No wait I was seated quick, and checking out was quick too. Definitely hit the spot.

Its hot in here! As in humid! Leave your jacket in the car 🔥Great noodle texture! No stickiness you can comb through the noods with a single chopstick and theyll break apart effortlessly.Their chili sauce is real spicy 🔥🔥Asked for no onions. Got them anyway. Same thing happened yesterday at Cow 7. Gotta figure out a work around to this 🤔They add green onions and Cilantro. Combined with a squeeze of lemon makes the broth exciting.Its quiet.... Eerily.... Theres no music no TVs on .... So everyone can hear everyones conversation chewing burping noses being blown cooks yelling etc ...Walked out covered in sweat but worth it!!!

My favorite place for Phò. The place is extra clean and the food is delicious not to mention their customer service is exceptional. Also, I dont know what they do to the water, but as soon as you sit down they serve you a glass of iced water...best water ever! Love this place.

I had the vegetarian pho and half an order of the spring rolls (I ate 2 before I took the picture). Everything is delicious, very clean and savory. I gave it 4 stars because the waiters were very distracted 😁

I was surprised that the taste and quality of their pho didnt change between locations. I frequently go to their original location near Broadway in Chula Vista, but decided to try this location and wasnt disappointed. I really recommend their vegetarian pho, even if youre not vegetarian. Its a simple yet savory base as far as broth goes, letting u really mix in ur own person flavor with the condiments provided. Its also really refreshing seeing a dish with bright green vegetables, even if youre not vegetarian.

Great food, amazing, always super friendly service! Food comes out quickly but is very, very fresh! Staff is consistently overheard explaining menu items and answering questions with amazing patience and insight. After almost a dozen visits, I have always had a very high, always positive experience. If you like Vietnamese food (not just Pho) you need to go!

The worst experience ever they forget to order my food and they never apologizefor the inconvenience I asked for a Vietnamese beer and they told me that if I wanted to drink a beer from Vietnam to go to Vietnam cuz they didnt have it here but they are advertising it on their menu

I usually get the BBQ Pork & beef banh mi sandwiches, and a Thai iced tea with boba. The spring rolls are always great, the shrimp spring salad is better though. Ive tried each pho on the menu, and every single one of them is executed with perfection. I have nothing but love and respect for this place

How was Pho Cali 2 you ask? It was (in the vast vocabulary of 45) TERRIFIC! Since the pandemic, its been my go to sit down eats. As the hot weather transforms into a cooler one, Im welcoming the convergence of chilly day with a refreshing, delicious, and filling soup...what more can this man ask for besides 46?

Quality, services.. but the SPEED is incredible! As in.. you wont believe how fast it is.Ive been here several times but today was the day I would test them. I sat down and told them I was ready to order right away, #26 house special pho. 2:12pm. Water served 15 seconds later. Food was out at 2:15pm. Literally minutes. Just.. incredible. Steaming hot.I understand its not difficult to put together but it makes lunch breaks last LONGER because youre not wasting time WAITING. I love it.And its soooooo good. Incredibly delicious.Try some banh mi, too. Its like a Vietnamese torta or sandwich. Gaaah.And the service.. they seem so happy to serve you. Water is refilled AS SOON AS YOU SIP. Theyre on standby and ready for requests.Please give them a visit. They deserve the business.
