    Pho
    Char B.

    Very nice & clean inside with lots of seating. staff is super friendly. I appreciate the interior decor, very eye catching. I got pho and it was delicious, so good especially when you're sick. My cousin got this other dish with rice I forgot which one (see the picture) but it was also delicious just the ratio of meat to rice was a little off. Another interesting thing is I tried their salted lemonade soda for the first time and I never tried something like that before it's literally salt with lemon and soda hahah. Pretty good tho I enjoyed it. Lots of parking outside too.

    Pho Ca Dao is mouthwateringly amazing and delicious! Whether we dine out or order in, the meal is always phenomenal. The attention to detail is unmatched! Unpackaging a delivery order from here feels like Christmas morning, I swear, LOL! I forgot to take a photo of my pho delivery, BUT each item comes separately, which I appreciate immensely. Raw steak in a baggie, fresh veg in another baggie, noodles and green onion in another container, and hot broth in the styrofoam soup container. It's truly a treat, and nothing arrives soggy or overcooked! Service and ambiance are lovely when we dine in, as well.

    This place is just a block from the Escondido Center for the Arts. We were hungry after performing, and looking for a place close by. My daughter order a pork and rice dish, and my husband and I ordered pho. Plus some appetizers- chicken wings, and spring rolls. Like at the other Pho Cau Do restaurants, we were not disappointed. Food was good and comforting. Glad there was one so close by.

    The ambiance and service was great. Friendly staff and our food came out quick. Food was very good too. I would recommend this place.

    Came here 7.28.25 aprox 3pm. Ordered Grilled Salmon w Rice Vermecelli noodles cuz im on a diet. Salmon came out FRIED! I didnt wana be that pain in the "A" customer so didnt complain but now I feel the owner needs to know to better his restaurant. So here is a picture of proof. Get it right dude! Now u broke my diet and was working on my abs. Correct this and I wil give u 5 STARS.

    Went here because we were craving something brothy.. what better was than to have pho.. so we decided to come here.. it wasnt too busy when we got here.. we got seated right away.. they have have a robot that serves the food, which is nice to watch.. we wanted to try something a little different so we ordered the "Pho" with bone marrow.. its a must try for us

    Disgusting! I door dashed 2 soups. I opened up my soup this is what I found! I immediately called the restaurant and they said they'd refund me my money.Way to ruin pho for me,traumatized. Wonder if they continued to serve others from this same batch!?!

    N10. Oxtail & Sliced Eye Round Steak Pho
    Betsy F.

    This is my go-to pho place in North County SD! I love all the Pho Ca Dao locations, and since my last review for the RB location; they seem to finally get their customer service up to par. Right when we entered, the establishment was very clean and I like the way the interior is decorated at this location. There's not a lot of parking for this location since it's off to the side of N Escondido Blvd in a small plaza, so be mindful of that when visiting. The host was quick to greet us and get our orders quickly. They served our food quickly and checked up on us pretty often. I got something different than what I usually do, which was the N10 Oxtail & Sliced Eye Round Steak Pho, and my fiancé got the N11 which is my usual. The oxtail was beautifully cooked and tender, it made the flavor of the broth delightful that I hardly had to add any of my usual sriracha and hoisin sauce! We always get a banh mi to share so that we could dip it in our soup. So the BBQ Pork it is! It was a perfect addition to our cold day and hit the spot for feeling under the weather.

    Hours.

    Updated: This is the 3rd time we try to dine in, they close at 9 and last seating is 8:30. At 8:12 pm they told us they couldn't sit us and that it was to go already. They look like high school kids looking back at each other and deciding to sit us or not. They said no because kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m.

    Classic Broken Rice with BBQ Pork. Be sure to check for your side of broth if you are ordering to go!

    Chef's Phở & Grill - Grilled beef Spring Roll & boba Thai Tea

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this restaurant takes pride not only in the food but also in the atmosphere. The space is bright, clean, and well-organized, with a calm energy that makes dining here both relaxing and enjoyable. The menu offers an incredible variety--pho, rice dishes, noodles, sandwiches, boba drinks, and more--so it's easy to find something that suits your taste. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors that stand out. A must-try appetizer is the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. They arrive fresh and neatly wrapped, with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked shrimp, and that creamy, nutty peanut sauce that ties everything together. Light yet satisfying, they're a great way to start your meal. Another standout is the pork sandwich (Bánh Mì), which feels like a labor of love. The baguette is toasted just right--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--filled with tender, flavorful pork that's marinated to perfection. Add in the pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapeños, and sprigs of cilantro, and you get an amazing balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Each bite is a perfect mix of texture and taste, making it one of the best Bánh Mì sandwiches you'll find in North County. Don't miss the fried rice, a fragrant and well-seasoned dish that's both comforting and rich. The only minor drawback is that the protein--such as chicken, shrimp, or beef--comes separately. Still, the quality makes it worthwhile. For drinks, the boba teas are superb--smooth, not overly sweet, and made with fresh tapioca pearls that have just the right chew. While parking can sometimes be tricky, Chef's Pho & Grill more than makes up for it with its excellent food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're craving a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or a refreshing drink, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

I rarely comment good things about the bathrooms anywhere, but their bathroom was very clean. Went in there to wash my hands and came out actually feeling cleaner rather than dirtier (like at other places). The soap and paper were well stocked. There wasn't a nasty odor and the floors were clean. I'm impressed! This place is also one of the few pho places that I've been to with egg crepes. I was also impressed with the generous meat portion in their pho. Their water was nice and cold. Didn't taste like tap. Only little thing is that their napkins are difficult to grab at the table when too fully stocked. Would I come back here? Yeah! I'm going to bring more people here too!

    Aloha gang! Thought it was time to revisit Pan Asia Buffet. I was coming back from a Sunday…read moreafternoon at the casino in Temecula and was in the mood for an all you can eat buffet. When I arrived, the restaurant was packed. I had to check in and take a number, but they managed to seat us in under 10 minutes. If you're not into crowds, I would definitely avoid Sunday's. My usual visits are during the weekdays when they open first thing for lunch. You get first pick of the buffet offerings and it's much more enjoyable without the crowd. My faves are the Chow Mein, Teriyaki Beef, Fried Rice and Honey Walnut Shrimp. So....if you have a craving for AYCE buffet, check it out!

The place smells decent, decently easy to find so no issues there. Cleanliness: the Buffett definitely needs some upgrading and cleaning. The rug smells and feels sticky to walk on, the counter area was clean but the ice cream section needed a deep clean, the cones were out of the packing and stale. The sprinkles were covered in ice cream and all over the place. The machine was covered in dried ice cream and caked on. I did not go into the restrooms, so I am not sure Food: cold. Everything except for the hibachi I got was cold. Shrimp, pork, chicken, all cold. They have an okay variety of deserts but other than the coffee and orange ones they were pretty bad. The flavor of the food was good, but the temperature of it was what really grossed me out and worry about food poisoning. It was during dinner at around 4pm so crab legs were included. My daughter devoured them and so did I. Best part of the buffet. Customer service: the waiters were very nice and kept our table clear. As soon as they notice we had our empty plates they would come around and grab them. I did notice and maybe it was just for that moment but we did get different waiters just grabbing our plates. Maybe they are doing a system where everyone waits on every table. Whatever they were doing it worked! We did mention at the end that our food was cold after we had paid and all because we were asked how we liked it. She did apologize and told us we should have brought up sooner so they could warm it up. That since it was slow the food gets cold. It was nice she apologized and all, but working in the food industry myself it is not any of the customers job to remind you to keep an eye on food temps. And you're supposed to keep food hot. Regardless they were nice. Would I come back? No. Would I recommend it? No. $60 for two adults $9 for my 4 yr old and $5 for my two yr old. So basically $80 for a family of 4 for cold food. Flavor was good though. So if you want to try it maybe you're lucky and get hot foods
