Unfortunately today's visit was very disappointing. Noodles for both pho were falling apart into small pieces (2 inches or less) or clumped together forming hard chunks. The rib and tendon were not cooked long enough for it to easily fall apart and soften. read more

Excellent Phō choices. Easy, relaxed ambience. Solid service. No frills (in a good way).

Every time I have came here the food has always been tasty and exceptional. The customer service and staff are amazing. The restaurant itself is clean. My husband and I come here at least once a month. Highly recommend. read more

Love the food here, it never disappoints! I drive from Roseville since there's nothing comparable there and it's worth it. Clean hole in the wall restaurant with good service. Don't hesitate to try this DELICIOUS Vietnamese spot. read more

Great food man I got the Beef Pho and it was really good Pho. Their portions are the best. HUGE portions you actually feel filling. Just expect to spend some time, not like 10 minutes. Only thing worth improving is the ambiance. Feels like they dont maintain their chairs and walls and tables, etc. They spend all their time on the food which I agree. But now if they want to be known, they need to market themselves because they are located at a small strip mall. Their dishes are good just get their specialty Pho since that is what they are known and named for. Dont try and go for some bougie food like a steak, they are not a steak place, they are a Pho place. PHO cali, its common sense. read more

Craving Banh Mi, Vietnamese sandwich, because we had such a positive experience at Duc Huong in San Jose, see previous Yelp. Quality/Quantity - Okay, Got the following: #14 Grilled Pork Sandwich - Again, I was so impressed with my daughter's SJ sandwich (the one she would NOT give me more than one bite of), I had to try to repeat the experience. Sorry, but this fell very short. This sandwich was bread-forward, and if you look closely at the pictures, there were too many cilantro stalks. I have another picture that I will not post of all the stalks I took off the sandwich... #12 Grilled Chicken Sandwich - Okay. The bread also did not taste like it was baked in house or fresh. Both were good size, but not as large as Duc Huong. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Indoor seating. Open 7 days a week from 10:30am to 9:00pm. Smart to NOT put prices on your takeaway menus in this current environment as prices for everything continues to go up. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good. Generous with condiments, none of which were needed for our sandwiches. Price - $14 and change; 10% cash discount included, thank you. Credit card cost $16.10. Normal price is $7.49 for each sandwich. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 when you took over the business. I am sure your other foods are great; I look forward to trying that and updating this review. read more

Finally found a local Pho soup place ! The people are wonderful & so is the food!!! We've been looking for a Vietnamese place in Lincoln but this one is close by in Rocklin. read more

I've been here a few times and the food has always been very delicious and clean, Service is great!

Food was great, portions are generous, soups was steaming hot. Perfect for a rainy day

We ordered a to-go of the Goi Cuon and grilled pork Banh Mi. Both were really good and affordable. The service was also really quick since I couldn't call in the order. As for the restaurant itself, it was kinda messy and nondescript. Definitely a to-go only place for me. BTW, bring cash since they give a 10% discount. read more

Best in Sacramento. Been to sooo many pho places but we always come here. Service is great, food is great, we love it. Our kids love it too

We don't get to eat at this place often since it is out of our way but every time we do the food is amazing! The taste and quality is always the same. read more

Food is consistently delicious. We have eaten several different types of pho and all are so good. Tonight, i ordered the grilled beef and noodles, so delicious! The beef was thinly sliced, nicely seasoned and very tender. Loved the vegetables and noodles. Also we have had pot stickers, yummy and crispy. Eat here and enjoy good food. Service is very attentive too. read more

Very interesting seeing that this place has great reviews. In total, we got shrimp spring rolls, the 32 and the 42. Spring rolls were pretty much bland, only saved by the peanut sauce (kinda watery) but I'm noticing this peanut sauce is congruent amongst other Pho places, probably store bought. My partners 42 consisted of some pretty large chunks of what looked like ear cartilage, I'm assuming brisket? My 32 had a really good broth but I was also plagued by this so called knuckle meat and it made me lose my appetite. Now to kick me while I'm down, this was at a high price tag of $53 for my tummy ache. I'd just ask my nephew to sock it to me if I really wanted what I ended up getting here. read more

I can no longer recommend this place. Every time I visit, it gets worse and worse. This used to a regular dining location because it makes the best combination beef/steak pho. It's so packed full of flavor, and they don't skimp on the meat. But everything else is so bad here. The spring rolls are dry and taste like paper. The peanut butter sauce tasted like light chocolate. How does that even happen? The chicken pho was also really bland. My wife pointed out a few places where they lacked cleanliness (hair in soup, dirty glasses of water). They're consistently good at beef pho but bad at everything else. read more

The quality of the food is A-class and easy to locate when you find a restaurant urgently around the area. My best favorite thing at the restaurant is the payment options. read more

I know my soups and Pho Cali has theeeee best bun bo hue!!! Try it and thank me later

Very good food, staff are always polite and attentive. Best pho in the Rocklin / Roseville area.

We ordered a grilled pork banh mi, fresh shrimp spring rolls, a Vietnamese iced coffee, and a shrimp and grilled chicken vermicelli bowl with an egg roll. All were delicious! The pork banh mi was warm and the French bread tasted fresh and crunchy. The coffee was a bit strong for us, but it was flavorful and a refreshing pick me up. The spring rolls and peanut sauce were also really fresh. I really liked my vermicelli bowl and I enjoyed the mix of flavors of the veggies, the meat, and fish sauce on a hot summer day. Overall, everything tasted fresh and this place is easily the best Vietnamese spot in the Rocklin-Roseville area. We will be back here again next time that I am in the area. read more

We have been going there for a few years now. The service is always excellent. The waiters are friendly and attentive and polite. The food is very good! The noodle soups are delicious. The wonton noodle soup is my favorite, with a lot of the wontons and whatever else that are put in there. Very generous. It is our most favorite Vietnamese restaurant! read more

The soup here is so good and hot everytime I come in perfect for rainy season coming up. Service was quick and friendly I left my empty cup for a second then they came to fill it up so fast. It is always crowded during the peak but the food still comes out fast. read more

Legit Vietnamese food, a must go to if you love Pho or Banh mi. They even have the crepe!!! I love that this place when im in the Area. I normally order the Rare Steak Pho and Chicken Bahn mi. Not many in the area has authentic taste, because some of the area have American flavor where is bland and boring. Try their Crepe that is bomb! If you never have them, its the close to Vietnam flavor. But again everything in Vietnam taste better and cheap but again in US this is as Authentic you can get Vietnamese food. Many Vietnamese Restaurant tend to cater American pallets but not this spot, they keep the menu and flavor the wat it suppose to be, but you can ask them if you dont like hot pepper or any other items ghat Americans dont like. read more

Pho Cali - New update 08-2021. - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

TEN STARS! This was so good. The portion side was so amazing and everything was fresh! I got the wonton and BBQ pork noodle soup to go and everything was packaged perfectly and remained steaming hot until I got home. The best remedy for a sore throat and so filling! I also ordered egg rolls and they were amazing! I cannot wait to order from Pho Cali again - hands down some of the best I've had in the area! **Gobbled it down so fast I didn't have a chance to take pictures! Next time!!! read more

Five stars: This has become my go to pho spot for a buddy and myself. The pho is good, and they have standard options with slring rolls and such. Quick and polite service, but the ambiance is nothing to write home about. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the Rocklin/Roseville area. read more

Super amazing bowl of pho. One size for all the bowls. Everyone enjoyed their bowl from the beef ball, to the chicken, to their special pho. Staff was super polite and very on it with keeping out drinks full. Open 7 days a week which is super nice. Very large inside for groups of people and open decently late. Definitely my go to pho spot when in Roseville. read more

This review is for their recent Pho meat. Their meat is now very tough and not fresh. Beef is super chewy specially the brisket. I stopped going here for Pho abs instead I go to Pho Hang down the street coz theie beef meat is tender!!!! read more

Ambiance was pretty basic but usually the best places have plastic chairs and wobbly tables lol because they put most of the effort in the good food. here? not too sure...maybe it was my order but the spring rolls and the banh mi sandwich was not very flavorful. I'll try another time to see if it was just me. read more

I honestly had doubts I would find good Vietnamese food in the Roseville/Rocklin area, but I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The beef stew with bread is absolutely amazing! We got a side of egg noodles with this dish and felt very full. We also got the vermicelli dish with grilled pork, it's your typical vermicelli dish. The only issue I had was the size and price of the Vietnamese iced coffee which I have pictured (I haven't drank from it yet). I'm not sure if they only serve a specific amount and have to put it in these sized cups? Or if they are just being cheap. Anyways it's not worth the 6 dollars. read more

Pho Cali - Veggie Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

This used to be our favorite local Vietnamese restaurant, but quality has gone down. We kept going because of our loyalty/support local, but after our most recent visit in September, we will not be returning. We each ordered Pho, my wife ordered a Vietnamese coffee with light ice, and I ordered a grilled pork sandwich to go. The pho tasted the same, but much lighter on the meat than before, my wife's ice coffee was an insult, while my sandwich had a skidmark of grilled pork down the center. I wish I took a picture of that pitiful sandwich, but I was too disappointed to even think about it. The photo of the ice coffee says it all, and this cost us $6.50! It wasn't one of them slow drips into condensed milk, either... It was the premade kind with heat-sealed lid! Need to find a new spot. :( read more

Pho Cali is a Vietnamese restaurant located in a strip mall in Rockland California. 4.3 stars on Yelp. We were looking for some thing, not far from the highway, while on a trip to Tahoe. It had 4.5 stars on Yelp, so we decided to give it a try. The menu is too wide ranging from Banh mi sandwiches to pho to cooked dishes. Service was fine, nothing exceptional. Food may be great for locals, but it decidedly average. Food Review Pho Tai ($13.95) was a huge bowl of noodles and broth. The broth was very sweet. Noodles were very average as was the meat. 7/10 Tofu mixed vegetable rice plate ($13.50) was also a fairy Hardy portion, solid, but not exceptional 7.5/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - No read more

Found this gem via Yelp and was not disappointed! The staff is always busy so be patient. We were immediately greeted as we walked in and seated to a clean dining table and area. I ordered spring rolls that were fresh and pho that was deeeeeeelish. Cooked just how I like it. Mouth watering. Keeping this review short and simple as Pho Cali is our go to since relocating to Rocklin. We will be back read more

Best pho I've had so far. Coming from the Bay Area, there are a lot of good pho spots but this was a great surprise in Rocklin. EVERYTHING had good flavor. You could easily eat the noodle soup by itself and be satisfied but adding in a little hoisin and chili sauce perfection. So glad I chose the wonton bbq pork. The veggies were fresh, the bbq pork was prepared well and the wontons (which were a little sweet) were a good balance to the spice I added). The egg rolls were hot and fresh and, once again, tasted great. Portions are really good for the price. I was able to have a full meal and still take home a full take out container. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service and the location is very open and clean. Great pho but wow was I surprised by how good their other items were as well! Very good ingredients, even the side tomato and cucumber had such a fresh and crisp taste!! Pho 9/10 Chicken curry 9/10 Rice had a nice fluffiness too it while still retaining good moisture. Sauce was flavorful but not so thick that I would feel like I ate a tub of butter after. Pho broth was great, nice salt good flavor. Noodles were cooked to perfection.

Our first visit. We stopped in for a couple of grilled pork banh mi sandwiches. Flavor was good, but they had almost no meat. Also got some spring rolls, very bland, no mint, just lots of rice noodles. Wouldn't go back. read more

Pho Cali - Vietnamese Sandwich with Grilled Pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

Read several raving reviews about this place so I decided to give it a shot. I didn't get to dine in, but I did however order their food through doordash. I got the pork rice plate x2, a side of their fresh spring rolls with pork, and a banh mi sandwich. I was in complete disbelief at what appeared in my order once it was delivered to me. I opened my rice plate to find there was literally no protein in the box. It came with about 5 slivers of this thin sliced meat, which did NOT look like any of the pictures on their page. It was almost as if they cooked enough protein for one box but decided to split it in half between my orders. Which is not right at all, especially if I'm paying an up charged amount by ordering through a third party app. Then to top it off, I opened my box of spring rolls only to find there were only 2 pieces, when the menu clearly states you get 4! I couldn't shake my head any harder than I was already doing so. And to make matters worse, the pork that was inside the spring roll looked like the meat they attempted to pass off inside the rice plate. There were 2 pieces of this thin sliced meat inside the spring roll. Definitely not enough to taste any kind of flavor. I was so disappointed in my meal that I didn't even get to the banh mi. I believe in second chances but at this point, I'm not really sure the next time I would order here. My disgust for the food quality is such a turn off from this place. If I ever decide to come here again, I hope I'll have a better experience read more

Friendly service. Unfortunately the Pho was bland , chicken dish was dry. A very small stuffy hole in the wall. place could be a lot cleaner.. we will not be returning read more

I'm really torn. It's a 3.5 for me. For a place that has pho in its name, the pho has to be good! The pho here was all right. For my tastes, the broth was too sweet and the meats were not sliced thinly enough. On the other hand, the other dishes were great, and service was awesome. The staff here is clearly Vietnamese yet the food does not taste 100% authentic. read more
