    Pho, Fried shrimp rolls, Vermicelli and beef with vegetables
    Lisa M.

    Everything is always on point when we come here. The service is friendly! The food is served promptly and so fresh!! The tempura prawns are so crunchy and sweet. I had the spicy beef pho this time and it was amazing. My daughter had the chicken sandwich and it was so fresh and spicy! We will continue to come here as much as we can.

    This is one of the few restaurants around that stays open between 3-5pm. I came for a very late lunch around 3:30. They did have a fairly good number of customers during that time, perhaps for that very reason. It's a basic storefront restaurant in a strip shopping center. Nothing too unique or special, and it is clean. Parking is readily available so that shouldn't be an issue. Service is good. Again, nothing that one wouldn't expect for this type of place. I had a hunger for a sandwich, a Vietnamese one! Banh Mi. They had five basic types and I got the grilled pork. I tend to like a tofu, but that wasn't an option. We started with won tons for an appetizer. They were deep fried to a crisp. The sandwich was just OK, like everything else here. nothing special. I thought bread was a bit stale, not like I've had elsewhere. The sandwich also didn't pack mucn flavor. Overall it satisfied the hunger yet I doubt this is the high point of the menu. If I go again I'll try a Pho or a Rice Dish. I suspect they're better.

    #26. Charbroiled Meat Vermicelli
    Helen L.

    Got seated right away. The staff was efficient, and the food came out fairly quickly. Food: Grilled Beef Vermicelli Noodles: This vermicelli bowl really hit the spot. The grilled beef had a nice char and was super tender. There was a good amount of lettuce, pickled veggies, and cucumbers, which added a nice crunch and made the dish feel really refreshing. -House Special Pho: I was slightly disappointed with the broth. It was a bit sweeter than I prefer and also pretty salty. Aside from the soup, everything else in the pho was good--the meat was tender, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Portions here are generous, and they give you a good amount of meat.

    This is my second time here, and I love this place! We ordered the egg rolls once again, and, once again they were outstanding. We both ordered the Pho soup. One was the spicy beef noodle soup, #32 in the second one was the house special, #34. They were both outstanding. We had to take leftovers home with us because there was so much. Both dishes were absolutely yummy! And, once again, I will be back.

    The best Pho restaurant! We love Pho Cali! The service is great and fast! They accommodate any changes on the ingredients and prices are fair! Highly recommended their Pot stickers, Fresh spring roles, Number 19 with meat and 20! Also highly recommend their beef stew!!!

    I had the seafood noodle soup and it was my favorite. I usually get chicken noodle or the beef noodle soup. All of them are good, but my favorite is for sure the seafood noodle. The service is good, they take their time in serving but still within a courteous time. The ambiance is nice as well. A lot of people go here but there's good space within the restaurant. They have canned soda and ice for soft drinks

    The food at Pho Cali is always so so good. The ingredients are always fresh food always comes out hot. The flavors are always so deep. And the service is always great. Last server I had was named Tony he was super courteous and kind. He would always check in and was very attentive to how I was doing. The ambiance is nice music played was very good. And the restaurant is always clean. I will definitely be coming back

    Pho Cali is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and it's fairly close to the Galleria mall. The place is quaint with furniture that's a bit dated. The staff is friendly and we were seated immediately. I got the house special pho with has everything (flank steak, tendon, meatball). Overall it was okay. The portion size was good but the meat was low quality and chewy. The broth is okay. I've had better pho elsewhere.

    Seating area

    What a nice find in Rocklin! Pho Cali is a short drive from the Roseville Galleria, and is a nice place to sit down for a good meal, especially as the offerings at the Galleria aren't the best. I've had this place bookmarked for a while, but didn't get to check it out until recently. The smell of boiling broth hit my nose as soon as I got out of the car. That's always a good sign. It was a hot day, but I still wanted pho. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, probably due to the heat, so we were seated immediately. The dining area isn't the largest, but it was clean and spacious. I went for the pho dac biet, while my husband went for the dry wonton and BBQ pork hu tieu. I also ordered a Thai tea. Our food arrived pretty quickly, and my bowl of pho was huge. It was packed with meat, broth, and a good helping of noodles. My husband's bowl was also filled well, and came with a good-sized side of wonton soup. I had a quick sip of my broth before adding any fixings, and it was delicious and fatty. It seemed that the kitchen staff didn't skim off the extra fat during cooking the broth, but I didn't mind. It was so beefy and flavorful. (Normally that would be reserved on the side as nuoc beo.) As far as fixings, the herbs were fresh. There was no chili oil at our table, but this was one of the rare times I didn't care about adding it, since the broth was so good. The noodles were perfectly cooked, however, the meat was tough for my taste. There was a ton of meat, so I'm definitely not complaining about the portion size, but the pieces of meat were neither sliced thinly or as tender as I would have liked. My husband, on the other hand, really liked his BBQ pork and wontons, and also said his noodles were really bouncy and to his liking. The hu tieu sauce was also flavorful. The Thai tea was refreshing and the perfect size. It wasn't watered down or too sweet, as I'm not a fan of sweet Thai tea. The balance between tea and cream was good. It also had the perfect amount of ice. I do not like when I pay $6 for a drink and the majority of my drink is ice. This had the perfect amount of ice. It is rare that I ever have leftovers when I get pho, but both my husband and I ate our fill and still had plenty of food left to take home. I ate all my noodles and brought home the broth and meat. Pho Cali is definitely worth it for the price, and since all their dishes are one-size, you can expect to take leftovers home. I'm hoping that next time, the meat is not as tough, but we shall see. I'll gladly return to Pho Cali again if I'm in the Rocklin/Roseville area for my pho fix, and would recommend this place for those looking for some delicious broth.

    Pho ga (chicken pho), pho tai (rare steak beef pho), nem nuong cuong (Fresh Spring Roll with Mama Marinated Pork)
    Jessica D.

    We came back with friends and I can now say this is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in NorCal. In addition to the perfect chicken pho and delicious mama marinated grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls, their grilled pork banh mi sandwich? Divine. Top tier. Our friends also loved the stir fried egg noodles with beef (hu tieu xao bo). Unfortunately their BBH was a let down because it was way too sweet- looks like both their beef pho and BBH tend to lean that direction. Nonetheless, I am impressed that a restaurant can completely nail a variety of dishes and am excited to come back and try more items from their menu. 5 stars!

    Pho, #03. Shrimp Spring Rolls (2 Rolls)
    Katie T.

    I've been here a few times and each time I am very satisfied. Their pho is so flavorful, I love it. Also the shrimp spring rolls are fireee especially with that peanut sauce.

I had already decided I was going to leave a smaller tip because of the service, but when the bill arrived, I noticed that gratuity is automatically added for parties of six or more. That honestly made the experience even more frustrating. I really dislike automatic-gratuity policies like this because there's no longer much incentive for the server to provide great service, the tip is guaranteed regardless. Maybe that wasn't the reason for the poor service today, but it certainly felt that way. Great food as always, but for a birthday dinner with a larger party, the service was really disappointing.

Side note, the 2 for $12 deal didn't include the proteins since that costs extra so the deal was only if I didn't add any protein to my bowls. Since I ordered from the app, I was able to go in and grab my order then drive back home. My food was still hot by the time I got home even after driving in the cold and pouring rain. When I got home and started eating my bowl which had the seasoned tofu protein, I noticed that they didn't put much of it compared to my husband's bowl that had the grilled chicken protein. On top of that, the noodles were extra oily and greasy and too salty for my liking. I had to drink something sweet after to get rid of all the saltiness. I understand that noodle bowls are typically oily and salty but I just felt like it was too much for my tasting with this bowl. I mostly wished I had more of the seasoned tofu protein though. I guess if I were to order here again next time, I would probably get a bowl with the grilled chicken protein rather than the seasoned tofu protein since it seemed like they add more protein if you opt for the grilled chicken.
