Stopped in here today after shopping in the strip mall nearby and grabbed a mango with boba smoothie and a taro smoothie to go. Both were super delicious especially on a warm day it was a nice treat. The inside is super clean, and the gentleman that helped us was really nice and welcomed us with a smile. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because we had to wait so long for our drinks. There were only 2 other people eating in the restaurant and one lady was getting frustrated because she was waiting for her check for some time. They may have been a little short staffed that day but I would definitely go back for the smoothies. Haven't tried to food, but I will eventually. read more

Customer service was questionable, serving sizes atrocious and server's language barrier caused ordering to go wrong. The man working helped 4-5 to-go customers while completely ignoring both myself and another table, who looked equally befuddled at the process and service. When the server finally did acknowledge my existence, I asked if they had sweet and sour sauce to eat with salad rolls because I have a peanut allergy. He said they did not have sweet and sour, I asked him to remove them from my order. He brought them anyway, with peanut sauce. Also ordered the small fillet pho, for around $18, and they weren't kidding. It was literally the smallest bowl of pho I have ever been served, about 1/3 the size of a small pho anywhere else. Pho tasted fine, but the entire experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Spent $34, only to be hungry an hour later. I do not recommend. read more

Very fast service. Very little wait. It is allways a pleasant experience the staff is very courteous and helpful read more

The banh mi here is really good--the bread is fresh, soft, and gets that nice crispy texture. The marinade has great flavor, and they use fresh veggies, though I do wish they'd add a little more jalapeño. The rare steak pho was decent--not bad at all, but it didn't exactly wow me. One thing I really appreciate is how clean and approachable the restaurant feels. There's tons of parking, the booths are nice and comfortable, and I love how bright the space is thanks to the big windows letting in all that natural sunlight. The service is friendly, which is always a plus. Overall, it's a good spot for the price. Nothing outrageously amazing, but definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Horrible customer service. Dirty restaurant. The old man that takes orders and serves doesn't know anything about customer service. He first got upset because my kids couldn't stay still and were playing with a pair of wooden chopsticks as we were waiting for food. When the food came out, I asked him for a bowl and he brought me a dirty one. I kindly asked him if he could exchange it and he did looking mad. He brought me a second plate that was even dirtier (greasy and with black stuff). He made me feel uncomfortable asking him for another one but I wasn't going to use a dirty one to serve my kids on. When I told him about it he took the plate very mad and finally brought me a clean one. He didn't even look embarrassed for bringing me dirty bowls. It made me question the cleanliness of the restaurant as a whole. Later I asked him for lemons as he was passing by and he didn't acknowledge me. I said "Sir" louder and he continued to walk away. I gave him the benefit of the doubt not knowing if he had heard me. He then brought me some lemons so I realized he purposely did not acknowledge me. Later I came to look at the reviews and noticed so many bad reviews about him. I'm never coming back to this location. The restaurants on Naples and Palm are cleaner and have better food and customer service. read more

Amazing food with just as amazing customer service. Will definitely be coming back. All around fantastic experience

Today i tried the #48 and it was the perfect dinner. The small bowl of pho broth to accompany the beef filet mignon rice dish was superb and washing it down with the pho broth. Don't forget to dump your Nước chấm on the dish you won't regret it read more

Terrible service. They refused to give me drinks I paid for and were ignoring me and giving me a hard time. The cashier also had a very nasty attitude and low patience even though he was the one who literally couldn't understand what I was saying. It sucks I used to love this place but will no longer be returning. read more

Me and my father have been going to this location for years, if you asked me a week ago I would have said it was awesome never a bad experience but unfortunately now I can not say that. My cousin came to visit with her kid so we all collectively agreed to go together pho, my mother, father, sister cousin, her son and I. It was around 8:20 when we arrived and immediately sat down and the server came over and told us "do you know what you want because you need to hurry and eat fast we close at 9" and I was taken aback because there was still 40 minutes before they closed so my sister looks over the menu and decided what she wanted, so we waited, and waited and the server did not come back over, so my father went up and told him we were ready to order and then the server raised his voice at my father saying "you need to come up and order here" my father then replays with "what? don't you normally come to the table to take our order" he then replays with "no I'm to busy you come order up here" never ever in my life have I ever been told to order in the front before at this location , there were tables also eating as well already had their food and eating, it was very embarrassing to have everyone look and staring at us while all this was going down, we ended up leaving and getting pho somewhere else, I was very upset because I have never been treated like this anywhere ever!! read more

So just an update... We tried to get a refund from the location and or 3rd party they use for online orders and we didn't get our money back for food we didn't even get. Evening being so expensive so I feel we were robbed. Not good business habits if you still want customers to come to your restaurant. Ps We called several times and guy on the phone was rude and kept hanging up on us and stated "I know who you are" read more

This spot is conveniently located in the strip mall across from Aldi's and a short detour from 54. If you have been to the first location, this one is a contrast with smaller size, ample parking, fast food-like decor, and thankfully cleaner. After shopping, I wanted something quick and went with the bun/cold noodle vermicelli with beef and eggroll. There is no shortage of Vietnamese in the area but this one is convenient when I am on the road. The dish was tasty. I am still looking for a spot that actually grills their meat. read more

Food was great, we had beef & chicken Pho and Shrimp Spring Rolls. I've been eating Pho since 1994 and it was one of the best tasting soup and rolls. I have to say though that the service was less then desired; the waiter got upset st me when I asked him for a second serving of water and a side empty plate as we ordered a large Pho and I wanted to share with my wife. I will come back because of the food, but if the food was mediocre, I would not return. I gave a 4 star based on food, if service was more courtious, I would rate a 5. Also, English is a barrier, hard to understand Vietnamese accent. read more

We went looking at all the stores in SD 'coz my son has this specific game that he wanted and and we got advice that 1 location had this game, and we went and finaly got his game. The moment he was happy I told him right away that it's time for LUNCH and the closest restaurant that we saw was this place called "PHO HUNG CALI 2". The Menu was easy to choose from especially since it has pictures. We ordered : * 2 orders of PORKCHOP and RICE * BEEF BBQ and rice with FISH CAKE, SHRIMP CAKE, and SHREDDED PORK. * NOODLES with FILET MIGNON and EGGROLLS that came with a SPECIAL SAUCE for it. The food here was good and Tasty, the meats are Tender and the portions are Big. We will come back again when we visit the area and I hope when we come back the portions are still the same. read more

I see this place from time to time as I drive by and today was the day I stopped in to try some pho, I was not disappointed! I really wanted a veggie style soup but with chicken as well so for an additional cost they brought out chicken on the side. The pho was perfectly seasoned, I've gotten better at tasting my dishes before adding hot sauce or seasoning and I'm glad I tried this first! The veggie pho was amazing, I wasn't sure about the broccoli at first but it paired well with the rest of the veggies and tofu. The service was good, staff was helpful and friendly as well. It's a quaint little spot that I will definitely return to so I can try out other dishes. read more

Hi everyone, I usually don't like to put any comments, unless I really had an unpleasant experience!! My wife, my aunt an I, went to have dinner at this place on Friday night. The food was ok, but the costumer service left me angry, disappointed and shaking! When the time came to pay at the register, with the owner of this place, when I slide my card and try to give a TIP I mistakenly did not add the (2) ceros .00, in order for it to be a dollar amount. Rather, it showed and came out as 7 cents! That's when the owner started YELLING at me in front of everyone, the other 4 families (Parties) there, and telling me "DON'T COME BACK", "DON'T COME BACK"!! Even though i tried explaining to him in a courteous manner that I made a mistake, he kept yelling "GET OUT OF HERE AND DON'T COME BACK" because he thought I did NOT wanted to give the "OWNER" a tip!! I started shaking, confused and upset! I turned around, while the owner went crazy yelling, and while walking out I apologized with the other guests at other tables for what they had to experience, and told the owner twice "God Bless you Sir and have a good night" I have a heart condition and Diabetes, and don't want to expand on this because my health is more important than dealing with an unstable and crazy human being, who went bananas over a $7.00 vs a $.07 tip! Your health, emotional wellbeing and your dignity, are not worth reacting to a negative and/or lower level of what your common sense and empathy tells you to! If this guy reacted the way he did as an owner, in front of other guests at his restaurant, and with the type of ethics under the standards of ANY business, these reasons will tell you the type of business he runs! No one should experience this type of humiliation or nonsense from anyone. I felt bad for my wife and aunt, and the other tables who heard what the owner was yelling!! "SAD BUT TRUE"‍‍ read more

Pho restaraunt definitely hits the spot. Nice to have all of these asian foods in chula now! Late night or early morning, pho always hits!

Stopped in because I was in the area and was craving a sandwich, specifically a banh mi. Restaurant was clean, they weren't super busy, there were maybe 6 or so people dining in. Ordered 2 banh mi one chicken and one filet, told the guy I was running into Aldi to grab milk and I'd be right back to pick them up. Came back and they were ready, they smelled sooo good. Grabbed the bag and didn't bother double checking my order. Got home and realized one was chicken and one was Pork, at this point it was too late to go back I live 20 min away. But besides that little mix up the food was great! The bread was warm and fresh, the veggies were crisp and fresh and the pork and chicken were on point! Can't wait to go back and try the pho! read more

This was soooooo delicious! I'm already thinking about coming back here again because of how amazing all of the food was. The man that served us was also the absolute sweetest. Mixer try the pho and bahn mi! read more

Pho Hung Cali 2 - Demolished my - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I love a good bowl of Bún and Pho Hung Cali 2 sure makes a great one. I usually go for chicken or pork as my protein, but this time around, I went for the filet mignon with the egg rolls for about $9. The mignon was super tender and lightly seasoned. The bowl came with a good amount too. The Vietnamese Egg Rolls were terrific. They offered a great crispy exterior and the ingredients inside were tasty. I love dipping these in the fish sauce. All the rest of the items in the Bún were fresh and very good. The vermicelli noodles were cooked just right and were served at the correct room temp. I totally dug that they did no hold back on the crushed peanuts. Service was easy and friendly. The place was quite clean. Well done. read more

I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed my visits. The pho has good flavor and the rice plates are probably the best I've had (at least in the South Bay area). Portion sizes are decent and the menu prices are reasonable. If you're looking for a Viet restaurant with bomb rice plates, I'd highly recommend this spot! read more

We order to go twice and was very surprised how tasty it was. So far we ordered the pork banh mi sandwiches (super tasty and great size for the $), curry with chicken, espresso w/ condensed cream, and shrimp spring rolls.

I come here often and have always enjoyed the food but after tonight I will never come back. My family and I had just finished our food and it tasted great no issues with the food or service until I saw the employee bus a table who left. He kept the plate with sprouts and basil and put it on top of the cart he had. I found that odd being that normally food is thrown in the trash that's with the cart he was pushing. I had a clear shot to the kitchen where I was sitting and I witnessed him grab the plate and put it to the side next to the food line. Absolutely disgusting! I got up to walk to the bathroom to verify that was the plate it was sitting there not thrown in the trash. There is no other reason why that would be saved unless they planned on reusing it. read more

We ate an early lunch there on, Thu, 5/30/24, around 1030 am. We were the only customers. The good: *Piping hot soup is excellent. The taste is good but nothing spectacular. The bad: *Dirty utensils storage *Dirty sriracha, and hoisin sauce squeeze bottles. * Watery peanut sauce- Easy fix, thicken it just a little so it will adhere better to the fresh rolls * Wilted and dry mint leaves *Fly inside- The door is wide open. The inside of the restaurant is hot. The in-between: * 6 thin pieces of beef *5 pieces of med-large shrimp All the problems can easily be corrected with a little attention to detail. Good luck! Note: We've been there once about a year ago. Things were ok then. read more

Pho Hung Cali 2 - This is the place. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Honestly I am a bit shocked, I went in to order to go, spent over $50 dollars and when I was checking my receipt I noticed a few of the items were not what I had ordered, so I went to check with the man at the front, he seemed annoyed about me asking him and I told him that we ordered this item instead of the one he charged me and he was like it's the same price and I asked him about another item and he was like yeah it's what you ordered, I'm sorry I just want to make sure I don't get the wrong order. And when my food was ready I go up to him and ask him if all the bags an are mine and he says yes, I go to pick them up and yells at me not that one. I used to come here when I worked security in the property but not anymore. He just seemed annoyed to be doing his job. read more

This place should be shut down immediately. I do not recommend anyone eat here, EVER! I ordered a $20 meal through ubereats thinking I ordered from the pho hung cali on broadway Chula Vista (definitely recommend) I got there and some man was smoking a cigarette in front of the building right as you walk in. I had to walk through it to enter and when I look for someone to pick up my order he starts going through all the bags with his dirty cigarette unwashed unsanitary hands. He started opening the containers and I was grossed out I spoke up and said it was unsanitary and he got mad started yelling obscenities proceeded to call me an "a*****e" over me expecting a somewhat clean meal for $20. Never in my life have I been so disrespected when someone else was clearly in the wrong. Will contact health department. No one should ever eat here, it was completely dead too now I understand why. read more

Great food at a great price. The service is fast and attentive. I love pho and this one of my favorite spots
