Pho Cali

Hubby and I had lunch at Pho Cali today. We had not sure a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed the food. He'd had a medical procedure done today, and was told to eat something fairly mild. Pho is mild. There was no one in the restaurant at the time, but it was pretty early. We noticed that the interior had changed some, as the menu was not prominently displayed on the wall anymore. But, on the counter they did have very nice laminated menus. I picked one up and went to a table. We asked the man who greeted us what his favorite was, and he chose number 21. So, I'm guessing the other man that was there was the owner. He came out and told us that number 21 was good, but not as good as the thing he was going to bring us. The guy is a master and upselling. He convinced my hubby that we needed four egg rolls. "These are the new egg rolls, he told us. Not like the old egg rolls. These are better. You will like them.' (He was not wrong). Hubby asked if he was going to bring them for free. I said no, he just very successfully upsold us another 950. They were small, but very tasty. The Pho we had was fabulous! We remembered that a single serving was huge, and would feed both of us for 2 days. So that's what we went with. Owner brought us two more bowls so that we could dip our meal out of the large bowl and into the not much smaller bowls. In the broth, which was very tasty, there was beef, shrimp, and I'm not quite sure what else, along with some green onion, bok choy, wontons, potstickers, noodles, and on the side were bean sprouts and jalapenos. On the table was a bowl of very tasty but not too hot chili oil. I used a lot of chili oil! I like spice! Hubby, not so much. Anyhow, long story short, will we go back? Yes we will! And the next time we're going to get number 21.

Amazing food, nice owners, and the smoothies are AMAZING!! Great place!! We got the number 29 and a strawberry smoothie.

Ordered two #22 House Special Pho bowls at about $17 each. At that price, I expected more meat. The broth was decent, but they forgot to serve us water — it’s fine though, since they gave me free broth when I asked. I won’t be coming back. I’m a Pho fanatic, and this didn’t meet my standards.

The SELL PHONE STORE. Sells Cell phones new & used great priced beautiful cases! And if you have a problem, they will fix it! Friendly, charming, courteous and intelligent! They have saved my phone more than once. Just got a virus off my husband's phone. They open at 10 AM. More photos on the way promise SELL PHONE! NO FOOD GO NEXT DOOR WHILE THEY FIX YOUR PHONE.

New ownership at Pho Cali. Broth was amazing. The combo had great gristle and meats and the iced coffee was very good. Very close to authentic.

This is the best phó you can get in YC. It's a small cute restaurant but it's really good! We've been coming here since they first opened. The Thai tea with boba and the chicken bánh mì are another favorite that we always get. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good food.

Been craving for pho for years. And Pho Cali's pho have fulfilled my cravings. It was our first time there, so my friend and I got one order each. To our surprise, the size of one order was good for 2-3persons. LOL With the serving size aside, I looooove it. Maybe next time, we'll share one. Thai tea milk tea was yum! Latest visit, me and my friend just shared one bowl of flank steak pho. The weather is getting colder, best for pho again. This time we got bread and spring rolls. All delicious.
