    #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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

Pork Soup Dumplings - Packed with rich, savory broth and well-seasoned pork. My kids absolutely love these. Garlic Green Beans - Don't skip these! Yes... they're green beans, but they're perfectly crisp, loaded with garlic, and surprisingly addictive. Ask for extra garlic if you're a fellow garlic lover. Black Pepper Fish Fillet - One of my favorite dishes on the menu. Crispy fish bites tossed in a light black pepper sauce with just the right amount of flavor. If you enjoy fish, this is a must-order. Shumai - A great little side to round out your meal. The restaurant does get busy during lunch and dinner, so be prepared for a wait during peak hours. It's absolutely worth it, though. Great food, plenty of variety, and every visit leaves me planning what I'm ordering next time. Highly recommend!
