    Pho soup without broth
    Brooke H.

    My experience with this restaurant was horrifying. I am home sick today, single mom with the flu. They advertised buy 1 get 1 free - the description clearly stated - well-done brisket pho with broth & noodles. The broth they provided didn't even cover the beef and they didn't include the noodles. When I called them to ask what happened they kept repeating I ordered just the beef. Don't advertise pho soup and not provide any broth. We took the soup to show them and kindly showed them their advertisement and requested broth and they just stared at us like we were crazy. We left their terrible pho soup without broth on their counter and walked out.

    Best app ever....rice cake and beef!!

    This place does not disappoint. Awesome broth and solid apps This is is a no frills pho place that just delivers time after time.

    Pork and egg roll noodle salad

    Excellent pho restaurant in Rancho Bernardo. We have been coming here for years, but I am just now leaving a review. I really enjoy their noodle salads too! I recently ordered the pork and egg roll noodle salad. Yum!

    I ordered a simple beef pho no meat just noodles and soup. However the noodles were filled with vegetables. I

    I don't recommend this place. I ordered a simple beef pho, no meat just noodles and soup for my grandkids. However, the noodles were filled with veggies. The guy who took my order was rude too. He was very short and was not really paying attention. I don't recommend this place.

    4.5. Our new favorite pho place because they are the only pho place that opens at 8am and is close to us. Of course we would love if Pho Hoa was closer and they open at 7 but it's so old school and far. We came early couple times. We usually get the large special and myself, I get rare steak, tripe and tendon. The broth is really good, at times a bit salty, but use some lime and sriracha to mellow it out. We've gotten their spring rolls and egg rolls. Their Viet coffee is good except if you get it there they do the traditional phin drip, which takes way too long. Make sure you say Viet coffee to go. It does take awhile for the coffee. Some of the booths are very small. My husband is a bit larger and he can fit in the booth but it's like uncomfortable. Very tight. They also have a robot carry the hot soup to your table then the server puts it on your table.

    Very friendly and quick service at this Pho Ca Dao location. We were warmly greeted upon entry and seated right away. I ordered the pho tai and pho dac biet (without tripe and tendon). The soup was a little bit oily but very good. The portions were very generous. I had to take half my soup home because there was so much noodles left over. A bonus lunch the next day! And still delicious. The furniture is a bit dated. The bench I sat on had rips and exposed stuffing. The tables look like they're getting old too.

    Best part!!! We can't leave with out it.  Thai Tea Boba and Vietnamese coffee with Boba    Delicious !!!

    Excellent customer service by Kenny and Dat! So kind and patient with us. Food was great today!

    Big Bone Pho (Approx $15). For perspective the round bone is bigger than the size of a baseball.

    I don't live in the area any more, but every time I'm in the area, this is one of my staples. The pho here is really solid, and it's a great value. This last time I went, I ordered the Big Bone Pho. It was around $15, and I was expecting to get a beef rib in it, but I just had to write and say that when they said "Big Bone" they meant "BIG BONE". It was nearly the size of my head! I was blown away by this absolutely massive bone that was brought to me, just wow! Seriously meaty and so many of the good bits. It was so big that the noodles had to be brought in a separate bowl. And for just $15, it was more than one meal for me. I ended up cutting the meat of the bone to bring that home. Pho is one of my all-time favorite Asian noodle soups. I really didn't think that I could be that blown away by any particular pho, but this one did it out of shear shock and awe lol.

    I came here with my family. The food was good. There was a bit of a wait as they were pretty busy. Servers were nice. Ambiance was typical. We will probably visit again.

    Haven't had Pho in a while and used to come in here a lot when I worked down the street. It's been before Covid but how things have changed. The price of a bowl of Pho is now doubled to $15 dollars. I like the idea that it wasn't expensive. Welcome to inflation. It was still good and flavorful. Sat down quickly and it still looks exactly the same. Service is quick like it has always been. No issues.

    Egg Roll & Pork Vermicelli
    Christel L.

    I've been here a few times for takeout and once to dine on the patio. Storefront parking as well as a shared mall lot. For takeout I've gotten beef banh mi and egg rolls (I appreciate that they offer both a smaller portion (3) and bigger portion (6)). When I dined in for lunch, I had the vermicelli with egg rolls and pork, which was good and it came in a pinch. I did order a specialty drink but didn't receive it til I went back inside to pay. There are no lunch specials but there is a happy hour menu. Will likely come back for pickup orders since it's conveniently located right off the freeway exit.

    Loved the pho here! Food was out extremely quickly, and we didn't have to wait long for a table The broth is so light yet flavorful, and the serving size is pretty good with many pieces of meat provided! They also are pretty generous with the bean sprouts and mint leaves, which I liked! Definitely a very comfy meal

    After an apparently new management takeover, or sale of the company, the place has really gone…read moredownhill. Waited 15 minutes for the bartender to emerge from whatever break he was on, luke-warm food, totally new beer list that is inferior to the original offerings. Overly expensive, happy hour beers were $10 each. Loud played-out music from 15 years ago, and so on, and so on.

    I came in on a Saturday morning and was the only table in the restaurant for about another hour…read moreuntil two more tables came in another hour later. I do hope they see more business at night. My table got a few of their most popular dishes. My top two favorites (and favorite among the table as well) were the Yellowtail Crudo and the Braised Short Rib. Those two dishes were prepared perfectly. I would absolutely come back to have some more people try that Short Rib. As for the Birria Ramen, my dad loved it but I thought it needed a little more of a spice kick or more acidity. The Butter Toffee Cake was a perfect dessert. It had a warm toffee cake topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel. This was a good size to share also. As for the ambience, I think the lighting needs to be a little dimmer. There's warm lighting in the dining room but bright white lights where the bar and kitchen is. It probably would set a more date night or higher casual dining if it was a little dimmer at the bar. The price point are actually pretty affordable. And Eric was wonderful at explaining our dishes and what to expect.
