5/5 stars! This place is the definition of a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food without the high prices, this is it. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pho had a rich, flavorful broth, the bún bò Huế packed the perfect amount of spice and depth, the spring rolls were fresh, the nem nướng was grilled perfectly, and the bánh bèo was one of the best I've had. The portions are generous, the prices are incredibly affordable, and the food tastes like it was made with care. It's definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall spots that deserves way more attention. I'll absolutely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu! read more

This is a small Vietnamese spot out in the Northridge/Reseda area that my girlfriend likes and has been going to for a while. She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either. That said, I'd still come back because my girlfriend enjoys it, the family is sweet, and there aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots I've tried out in the Valley yet. It's one of those neighborhood places that's nice to have around, even if it's not something I'd personally go out of my way for. read more

I wish I took photos! But found another spot that serves Vietnamese pancake aka banh xeo in the valley. The place was very clean and the staff were very attentive. We ordered the filet mignon pho, banh xeo, vietnamese coffee, and lemonade. Everything tasted fresh and very delicious. The restaurant is located in a plaza on Lindsey right before Saticoy. There is enough parking. Definitely a place worth checking out! Will be back again! read more

First time here and I was impressed by the food and the service from Jack even though we arrived the hour before closing. The food and drinks taste fresh and delicious. The egg rolls were definitely hot for some time so be cautious before taking a bite to eat. I would have wished there were more than two shrimp given. It's in a plaza with available parking. read more

I am still on the hunt for a good pho here in SFV. This place is legit! Tucked in a shopping arcade (I see parking as a challenge). Pho is delicious! It's similar to the ones I visit in SGV (but this place has a smaller bowl). The pork egg rolls are wrapped using the popular wrap--I prefer egg rolls wrapped in rice paper. It co five pieces with only two lettuce leaves. The place was not busy during dinner on a Wednesday night. The servers are very friendly, and the service is quick. This is by far my number one go-to Pho place here in SFV! I need to try out the other dishes on their menu. read more

Pho is the greatest hangover cure that the Vietnamese ever came up with every culture has their version of chicken soup and I suppose this is it. I always get the soup with the wackiest amount of meat and tripe and brains and guts and ears and eyeballs and it's always delicious. Scored a little Sriracha and some hoisin sauce in there and you're good to go. Service was really good. they have an open kitchen so you can watch your food being cooked. If you're standing up the Thai tea is gigantic and the pad kee mao : hot was so spicy. My nose was running and I love that it really cleaned you out and revives you gives you just the right amount of noodles, meat, and broth and veggies. Highly recommend if you're in the area. It was one of my favorite spots. I went there more than once. read more

This establishment delivers an impressive dining experience, elevated by exceptional customer service. Jack, in particular, stands out for his warm and attentive hospitality. I began with both the spring rolls and egg rolls--each expertly prepared and full of fresh, vibrant flavors. The steamed rice cake, a dish not commonly found in Vietnamese restaurants, was a delightful surprise and an absolute must-try. The pho features a beautifully clear broth, rich in depth and generously complemented with tender cuts of meat. The pork chops were outstanding--perfectly seasoned and grilled with precision. The whole chicken dish was equally remarkable, showcasing balanced seasoning and excellent execution. I look forward to returning soon to explore more of the menu. Jack just get a Toyota Tundra! read more

Pho Viet Cali is as down home as it gets for Vietnamese in the San Fernando Valley. Group of preschool kids of the owners are being fed early dinner with mom & dad presiding over their large dining table. One charming, little girl even brought over a dish of herbs to pair with a bowl of rice noodle soup.  1) Nem nướng cuốn: A raw spring roll containing a slice of leathery, grilled, salty, porky sausage. Watery crunchy cucumber, lightly pickled, chiffonade of Daikon radish, extremely crunchy fried rice cracker adds shards of rough texture with all the above ingredients wrapped in green lettuce leaf. A taut, rice paper wrapper with almost a snap surrounds this savory roll.  Accompanied by a peanut & Hoisin sweet, earthy soybean Miso paste. This Nem nướng cuốn may be the signature dish of Pho Viet Cali.  2)  Phần Chả Giò: Wrapped in very thin wheat sheet rolled many times around ground pork, glass noodle, cloud ear mushroom, touch of garlic, nước mắm/fish sauce, black pepper and deep fried. Accompanied by Nước chấm sweet fish sauce.  The wheat wrapper doesn't quite have the superior crunchiness & thiness of rice paper. The filling lacks the meatiness and volume as witnessed at iconic Golden Deli in SGV, Pho Quang Trung in Westminister/Garden Grove, Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. However, I have yet to find an exemplary Phần Chả Giò in SFV.  3)  Chạo tôm:  Steamed shrimp pâté wrapped around a piece of sugar cane. Shrimp is soft yet firm with a bit of sweet, meaty,  sea minerality. The fibrous, undigestible cane has a caramelized, toasty sweetness upon being chewed.      4) Huế has a rich culinary legacy linked to the former royal court of Annam.  Bún Bò Huế: Clear broth is mostly nước mắm/fish sauce, fermented shrimp. Didn't sense a deep beef stock, and lemon grass infusion typical for this dish faintly echoes. Rice noodle is thicker, round, slippery, soft.  Generous thin cuts of tougher, dark coloured beef & more tender, lighter pork. Huế style sausage reminds me of a denser, firmer "Mortadella".  Garnish of healthful raw cabbage, bean sprouts, Jalapeño chiles, lime, purple & green Vietnamese "Shiso" leaves to put into the soup.   There is a touch of sour, sweet, salty, and umami flavours. Spicy chili oil is added later during the cooking process to add piquancy. There is a lingering, strange, metallic, after taste. May not be the most richly aromatic version, but adequate.  Food here is simple & unpretentious and may need a bit more culinary fine tuning. However, the Nem nướng cuốn is as good as it's going to get in the SFV.  3+ stars read more

They have the most delicious grilled pork chops! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a few years now because he would pass it on the way home from work and now we're hooked. It's so delicious when you try other things though! read more

This review is long overdue. This is by far the BEST Pho spot in the Valley. Their service is fast and friendly. The Filet Mignon Pho never disappoints. The broth is savory and the meat is tender. The crunchy BBQ pork Spring Rolls are tasty and fresh. I've had the Beef stir fry and Vermicelli bowl as well; and both dishes tasted fresh and full of flavor. Give it a try if you're looking for Pho and all around good food. read more

Must order: pork chop with rice, house special fried rice. I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the Valley, and this place has the best pork chop. It's so good.

Delightful Vietnamese food with attentive and friendly service! During out last dine in, we ordered and started off with Vietnamese spring rolls, banh beo (steamed rice cakes), and banh xeo for appetizers. They are great for sharing and so that you can try various items. The grilled chicken was flavorful and the skin was crispy. We also liked the catfish hot pot. You place in the veggies and herbs into the portable pot on your table which consists of sweet and soup. Enjoy them over vermicelli noodles! Staff was pleasant, efficient, greeted us on arrival, and checked on our table throughout or time there. Place is clean and cozy. read more

Tucked behind the Just Tires, in the strip mall is this PHO-nomenal little restaurant. We were shopping in the area and decided to get lunch. Hubby suggested Pho so I Yelped some suggestions. Parking can be a little tight but we found disabled parking by the Dollar store and there's also another spot by the market. We were seated right away and immediately noticed the clean condiments and bright interior. Service was fast and they refilled our ice water regularly. The only thing I can ding them on was that there was a tiny piece of cilantro in my ice water but I didn't ask for a replacement so, not a deal breaker. I really liked the eggrolls! They were crispy (hot!) and crunchy and came served with fresh lettuce, mint/basil. Good deal for the price. The steak slices in my pho were tender and tasty with no fat. The basil, limes, jalapeños and bean sprouts were exceptionally fresh too. I've been to other places where the side veggies look, well a little sad. But not here! The portion was perfect too. Sometimes you get a lot of broth or too much noodle and not enough broth, but it was just right. We will definitely return and recommend this place to our friends! read more

Food came out quickly and was delicious! My go to is banh beo, their spring rolls, and you can't go wrong with any of their noodles. Go with what you feel. They did change their menu to English, I didn't notice any of the traditional Vietnamese names so I was a bit confused. Still, an authentic place for Vietnamese! Service it's what you would expect from a viet joint! read more

Solid spot for Vietnamese food in the valley. I came by for weekday lunch with a friend and it was pretty empty when I walked in at 1. Only 1-2 other tables were occupied. There is parking, but I missed the parking lot and accidentally turned into the lot for Just Tires instead and had to circle back around. Everything on the menu looked really good, and I had a hard time deciding what to order. I was bouncing back and forth between pho to other noodle soups to a rice dish to bo luc lac. Finally I decided on the bun rieu ($12.99), which is mixed crab tomato soup. My friend and I also shared the Vietnamese egg roll for $9.50. I thought both dishes were really good, especially the bun rieu. It was a big bowl of broth and noodles and was filled with other toppings like tofu, eggs, and pork. I was absolutely stuffed by the time I finished the bowl! read more
