    Take out "eye round steak" pho.
    Bree G.

    I enjoyed my take-out pho from Pho Kitchen. The ordering process was easy although I find the 'ordering thru a tablet' to be a weird-modern-day dining experience. Anyways, it was a satisfying experience and I would recommend.

    68. BBQ Chicken Vermicelli
    Aswad K.

    3.5 This place is our regular viet fix on this side of the hill. Next best viet food is in Salinas or San Jose.. Order at the devices on the entrance. Grab a number and find a table. Shrimp tempura were hot, crispy and juicy. The dipping sauce is a perfect pairing. Bbq chicken vermicelli bowl had good quantity of food. Came with fried roll and nuoc mam (fish sauce). Had plentiful amount of fresh vegetables and herbs. Juicy, succulent chicken. Bbq chicken rice plate was decent too. But as you can see could use little more quantity of meat. All in all decent place for viet food. Maybe slightly expensive than most SJ places but not bad.

    I love going to pho kitchen they always have good service and their food is amazing no matter if your going for pho, sandwich, or a salad you can't go wrong with lunch or dinner here

    74. BBQ Chicken & Egg Rolls Vermicelli
    C Jude S.

    This little unassuming joint In Watsonville... is outrageously fresh, tasty and wonderful! Great service. The BBQ is nicely smoky in flavor. It's going to be a craving - on the regular rotation for me.

    Very good food for a very good price! Would recommend if you are looking for a nice atmosphere, fast service and kind workers.

    Pretty average pho, wish the portions were a little bigger for the price but definitely cures the craving. I always get chicken pho so it's hard to mess up. The bahn mis are really good too!!

    A year later exactly since I've came in and I still love this place. You order first then seat yourself. The food is so good I didn't even have time to take a picture. Egg noodles are my new go to.

    Beef rib pho
    Julie W.

    What a pleasant surprise that we found good pho during our family beach vacation 10 of us met here for dinner, the place is clean, spacious and easy to find. We ordered using the kiosk which is easy, food started coming within minutes. All of the orders were well received, the fried egg rolls were crispy with very tasty shrimp and pork filling, definitely one of the best. The pho with 2-3 ribs was a great deal, combo pho, seafood noodles, vermicelli bowl kids pho and etc were all delicious and in generous portions. This is a great find, we would come again.

    Pork vermicelli salad
    Panette P.

    Ordered pork vermicelli salad, avocado spring roll, shrimp/chicken spring roll, thai ice tea. Salad and Spring rolls were fresh and crunchy. Great peanut sauce. Preferred the pork/chicken spring roll over the avocado roll. Thought the avocado roll was too rich and needed acid to break up the fat. Good portions.

I ordered a street taco with pollo because the photos looked so good! And I got the large nachos with birria (shredded beef in stew) with everything on it. (There were only these two meats available, so I wanted to try them both.) The order came out in roughly 15 minutes, which was good. The size of the items were okay, but surprisingly the meats were not very warm. The taco looked bland, but it tasted good with the cilantro and diced onions. The nachos, on the other hand, was underwhelming -- mainly because it sat underneath a mountain of what looked and tasted like Velveeta cheese. The squeezed dollop of sour cream didn't make it look more appealing. I think the tacos and platters are the way to go.

We like to support local family run businesses and the food has been good in the past. The wait staff are consistently friendly and mostly competent. We've been pleased that when asked about gluten-free options each time, the waiters know about 90% of the menu off the top of their heads and aren't afraid to say they need to ask the kitchen when there's an item they're not sure about, rather than guess the answer, as has happened at other restaurants. Saturday we had a group of 8 that were seated at 4:45, so not exactly rush hour. We finally had to ask for water after 15 min. It was close to an hour from when we placed our orders before the food began arriving. I had informed the waiter of an onion allergy and requested no onions anywhere on the plate, as well as subbing extra veggies for the pasta. My food arrived with onions throughout the veggies. While I appreciate that they quickly took the plate back to fix it, the new plate had only a single serving of veggies which were so undercooked that even with the steak knife if was difficult to cut, and not great to chew either. I quickly gave up and saved it to finish cooking at home. Another guest ordered the tuna fresh catch rare, and it arrived between medium and medium rare, which was quite disappointing. But at least his veggies were closer to al dente. Another small irritation was that they brought out bread and olive oil, but there were only 5 pieces for our group of 8 so we asked for another one for our end of the table, and they charged us. While we recognized many staff as longtime employees, both the food and the service didn't live up to previous visits, which is even more disappointing because we brought new people to experience their food. Given this experience, it'll probably be awhile before we go back.

It isn't trying to be overly trendy or fancy, and the emphasis on local ingredients and the Pajaro Valley gives it some character. My partner had the Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken, and our son had the steak dinner with fries and vegetables. I ordered the evening special, which was cheese tortellini with prawns in a creamy sauce. Everything was very good, and the portions were generous. They also brought bread to the table before dinner and kept us supplied during the meal. We had a bottle of Alfaro Pinot Noir with dinner. It was a good local wine and paired nicely with the meal. We also appreciated seeing local wines represented on the menu. We finished by sharing the crème brûlée. It was quite tasty and considerably larger than we expected... definitely enough to share. The service was a real highlight. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and prompt throughout the meal. Since we were visiting the area, he also took some time to share a few local tips, including where to find some particularly good sausages and meats. It was a nice personal touch and added to the experience. Overall, California Grill was a very good find in Watsonville: good food, generous portions, excellent service and a nice connection to the local agricultural community. A solid four-star experience, and somewhere we'd be happy to visit again.
