#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.

My dad's favorite place! He always gasses up this place, so i went ahead and tried it. It's soooo yummy! What a nice gatekeep, but the pho is amazing! Can't wait to try other dishes :)

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 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.

Beef Stew Soup
Mike F.

Beef Stew Soup was excellent! Tasty and flavorful broth, large chunks of tender, fatty beef. Egg noodles were also great. Large portions of food with the perfect balance of soup, noodles and meat. (I didn't run out until I was finished) Guys were very friendly.

Sliced Steak, Flank, Brisket
Huryoung V.

The pho broth is slightly on the clear/sweet side, but absolutely delicious and perfect for the day when we wanted hot soup. The chicken wings weren't super crispy, but they were made for dipping in the sauce and the sweet chili sauce it comes with is positively flavorful and fantastic.

Rice and noodles menu
Michael S.

Pho cravings satisfied! Nothing special about this spot but sometimes that's a good thing. Just good'ol, traditional soupy bowls of delicious pho servings. Ambiance is welcoming but nothing classy with limited seating and a generous parking lot. Feels a bit old and outdated inside, but it's clean and the food tastes great along with yummy smoothies for pairing. Service was friendly and accommodating for my family of 6 but seating is primarily designed for parties of 4 and below. Pho dishes were delicious and classic. The sautee curry chicken was good but was sad to hear that it was the only curry fish they had. Thus the only reason for the 1 star deduction - other than that, smoothies and thai iced tea were fantastic! Had some banh mi w/beef to go (TBD but I'm sure it's going to satisfy our cravings 100%). Great local spot, recommended for a quick way to satisfy your pho cravings, and no stress with parking!

Their #47. Beef Stew Noodle Soup and #43. Sliced Steak, Brisket Pho
Elijah Y.

My go to Pho spot. I lived in the San Jose for over 10 years and this spot has beat anything I have had there. If you are a beginner with Pho, I highly recommend the #43. Genuine authentic food and kind front of house staff.

Pho
Mark B.

I love this place. I'm here almost every week--sometimes by myself, sometimes with my whole family. At this point, the staff probably recognizes me already, lol. This place is a real comfort spot for me. I'm always satisfied and happy every time I eat here. The food is consistently good, and the prices are affordable. Definitely deserving of 5 stars

We arrived @ 2:30pm and the restaurant had a steady flow of customers. * please note place does give discount to veterans (with proof) We had to wait 15 minutes for our food however it was well worth the wait because not only did the food arrive hot and fresh, but it was very tasty and the flavors exploded in your mouth. The staff checked on us every so often to make sure everything was good and filled up our water whenever needed. This was our first time eating at this establishment and it's a great find & a hidden gem well worth trying. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ! Without a doubt, this is my go to restaurant if I am ever in the area again.

I called to notify them and the amazing employee went above and beyond by hand delivering a replacement to our house! Then the next time we went to eat in person, she refused payment for our meal (a family of 6!!) I still cant believe it. What a nice person! They obviously value customer service, quality and accountability. We continue to patronize this business and feel that it has the beat Viet food in the area. Some of my fam's favorites: 1. House Pho 2. Fried Rice (tofu as protein) "Best Fried Rice Ever" according to the kiddos 3. Veggie Pho 4. Grilled meat rice plates 5. Banh Mi (Tofu Veggie and Also the grilled meat one) Amazing staff and hardworking cooks. Cam' On!

So there I was... sitting on an oil rig in Alaska, talking to a sheriff's deputy with over 20 years…read moreon the job. He says, "My buddies keep telling me about this place called Pho King Good." Funny part? Even he had never been there. Well, that little story stuck with me. Fast forward a few weeks. My road trip partner, Koda, and I are heading home from Disneyland, cutting through Sacramento toward Grass Valley. We roll into Auburn and BOOM there it is. Pho King Good. Now let's just take a second to appreciate that name. If you're gonna swing for the fences with a name like Pho King Good, you've set the bar about as high as Mount Everest. You don't get to be "pretty decent." You'd better make me question every bowl of pho I've ever eaten. The sign? Absolutely iconic. It practically jumps out and hollers at you from the side of the road. Easy in, easy out. Road-tripper approved. Walking inside, though, I was expecting a little more "Pho King Palace" and a little less "we've been meaning to remodel since the Clinton administration." The marble counter looked nice enough, but the place just felt like it needed a little love. If I owned a restaurant with a name that good, I'd lean into it. Give me lanterns. Give me atmosphere. Make me feel like the King just walked in. Charge me another couple bucks if you have to I wouldn't mind if the experience matched the name. Then came the menu. It felt a little like Dysfunction Junction. They had everything listed, but it wasn't organized in a way that made ordering easy. Give me sections. House Pho. Beef Pho. Chicken Pho. Special Pho. Help a hungry traveler out. The food? Solid... right down the middle of the road. After hours in the car, a hot bowl of pho hits the spot no matter what. Koda really enjoyed his chicken dish, and our vegetable egg rolls with the peanut sauce were decent, although the wrapper was just a touch on the rubbery side. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which always counts for something. My only real disappointment was this: with a name like Pho King Good, I expected to leave saying, "That's the best pho I've ever had." Instead, I left saying, "That was... good." And then came the plot twist. Time to pay. Cash only. So now I'm walking out to the ATM like I'm making a withdrawal for a back-alley poker game or a dispensary run. I'm standing there thinking, "Well... this tip just took a hit because I wasn't planning on paying an ATM fee for my noodles." I still don't quite understand it. You're giving change, printing receipts, running a business... we're already 95% of the way to taking cards! Overall, this wasn't about whether the food was amazing or terrible. It was about the experience. Sometimes that's the story worth telling. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably. Because sometimes a bowl of pho, your best buddy Koda riding shotgun, and a restaurant with the greatest pun in California are all you really need. And if they ever decide to polish the place up and make it live up to that legendary name... It might just become Pho King Great.

VEGAN SIGHTING!!! I…read moredon't even know where to start my fellow vegans. This quirky, Vietnamese restaurant in the city of Auburn, CA, has by far the best vegan Banh Mi sandwich. The tofu was prepared so it did not take up the whole sandwich. The pickled radish and carrots had the perfect and balanced of sour and sweet. Of course, can't leave out the herbs of cilantro and fresh jalapinjoes. The french bread was crispy outside but still soft and hearty as you take a bite. My earth was it a 2 thumbs up!!! Then their vegan pho with veggies and tofu did not disappoint. Their veggie broth was perfectly blended and made wonderfully that I was not even thinking this was vegan. The staff was kind and informative. They were attentive and friendly. Then comes the merch. If you like a play on the word Pho, then come and check out their shirts for sale. All I have to say is "Life is Pho king good." With this said, another gem in Auburn, CA.
