My favorite Pho place in the Milwaukee area! Their pho comes in larrrge portions, is very flavorful and the service is very speedy. I wished it was opened later! Only downside for me is that the location is 20-25 min away from where I live :( but that just shows much it beats out the many other closer options. Definitely my go-to spot for some taste bud satisfying, tummy-filling, soul-warming Pho! read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Nice selection of appetizers and dishes, my favorite appetizer is their Banh Xeo. Their food came out in a timely manner, nice portions, and fresh. The service was exceptional, the owner gave our whole party free drinks and took time to conversate with us. read more

Great Vietnamese. Fresh and the restaurant is fairly clean. Who a believe to be the owner was very friendly. My waiter did go to change the TV channel, during the middle of my order, but the good food made up for it. read more

I was so excited to eat and sadly I was extremely disappointed . All my food came in cold. I was missing my beverage and my side of rice for my meal. Me and my employees couldn't even eat the food we got because it just wasn't pleasant to eat even after trying to heat it up. I did call right away when the food came in cold and the guy I spoke to was rude, I waited for over an hour for my order to even be sent out the store. Worst part is this is my first time ordering from here and I will never order again. read more

I knew I was in for a good experience when I walked in and found that out of about 25 peole there, I was the only Caucasian. I had pho with meatballs, and it was good. The broth was sweeter and less salty than most places. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I ordered a lemonade, which my server never brought, and then they charged me for it. read more

The Pho was great. Had gotten the House Special, was perfect on a zero degree day in WI. I will definitely be coming back. Serving sizes were very large, you will not go home hungry! read more

I was really nervous to order pho from here because of some of the really bad reviews. I'm glad I didn't listen because it is delicious!! It classic and very flavorful. read more

Came here during the peak of the dinner rush and people were getting seated one after the other but the service and attentiveness was still amazing. P4 pho was bomb! Need to come back and try the boba :) read more

Perhaps this was the place to go in the hay day, but what I just saw and tasted was far from that. Floors were coated in grime to where my shoes were a little slippery when I left there. Also flies were everywhere! I can live with those if the food is awesome...but alas, I'm not a fan. The noodles were brown...not white as I've generally seen them. The broth is a little more heavier than I like. Lots of pepper in there and more brothier. That's probably more my tastes though. Steak was well done and it rare when it hit my table. Can't speak to if they were rare when they went in, but for sure they weren't when I started eating. All in all, my recommendation would be to move on from this one. Try somewhere else. read more

Highlight of this place: the waitstaff. They were incredibly helpful and welcoming. They even gave us 20% off for our first time coming. The food was fairly average for Vietnamese, I had Pho and my mom had a rice noodle dish. The only turn-off was the fact that it was fairly dirty. I will most likely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Omg!! Love the pho here soooo good. It may be a far drive from the east side but so worth it.

Here's a few things. The place was freezing, the staff was all wearing jackets. The cleanliness was not great, either... be warned. Two of the girls I was with both ordered a pork dish. The girl that ordered the Bahn mi now is at home with food poisoning. read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Milwaukee and I'm pretty sure we've tried them all. Everything on the menu is excellent and the staff are great. We feel like family when we come here (which is maybe about once a week). Their fried rice is the best I've ever had in any restaurant, it tastes very much like the kind I make at home. The eggrolls are just like homemade, too. We didn't think we'd ever get my mom to eat Vietnamese food, but she likes their banh mi so much that she gets mad when we go there without her! This is our favorite restaurant in all of Milwaukee read more

This place is DIRTY. The floors looked like they haven't been mopped in years. We still gave it a shot (we ordered take out and didn't see the floors until we were picking up) and the pho was sweet. I prefer my pho savory and honestly, I wasn't keen on eating anything there after seeing how dirty it was anyways so I won't be back. read more

The pho is amazing here. It's super authentic and flavorful. Their banh mi are also phenomenal. Fresh bread and fresher meats and veggies all just come together beautifully. This spot is a gem! read more

Best pho I've had in Milwaukee! Flavorful and rich but not too salty. Service was fast, then nonexistent, but it was no big deal. Clean and nice lighting so it's a pleasant experience overall. Definitely my choice for pho in future! read more

This place has really surprised me in a great way. I'm impressed with their high level of consistency, great portion sizes, and delicious authentic flavor. If you like pho, you should definitely give this place a try. Plus they're one of the few pho places open late. Also, their Bahn Mi is very good and definitely worth trying. I've been coming back and plan on heading there tonight :) read more

The only other pho I've had is homemade and this place was just as good or better. Had lunch with some friends there while I was in town and I will for sure be back when I am in town again. I even woke up today craving Pho. If you like viet food I would check this place out. read more

The pho is still good but the SERVICE is HORRIBLE! Seems like the workers are not happy there, maybe the owner is not paying them well or something. A few incidents but one example: asked for a bag. One of the worker just pointed to the bag which it was by the staff area. I went to get it myself. Again SERVICE is terrible. read more

Pho was so-so; I should've gone with the Bun Bo Hue. I docked 2 stars because although service was initially good, when I asked for my check, the waiter brought it to me then proceeded to tell me to pay the tip in cash because he didn't want to deal with separating the tip from the credit card... it would've been fine but I didn't have any cash on me. So when I told him, he was like fine, but then he stood there and watched me write down the tip. It was so awkward. read more

Service is horrible. I had to go up to the register to ask someone for a menu. No water even after we've been seated for 30 minutes.

Highly recommend their pho. Best in Milwaukee as far as we are concerned. Service is usually very good even when they're busy. Atmosphere is a little weird but better than most. Sometimes the music is hilarious, like disco, and only adds to the experience. read more

My boyfriend and I have been here a few times. I wanted him to try Vietnamese food a few months back, and after having their Pho he loves it! He craves for it more than I do. He also is a huge fan of their house special friend rice! I absolutely love their Pho, it's very tasty and everything is just right. Their service has gotten alot better after they gotten rid of the very young staff they had serving whom were all a little out of place it seemed. What keeps me going back to this place is their addictive specialty drinks! I LOVE LOVE LOVEEE their thai tea and coconut slushie with jelly& boba :) read more

Pho Cali - 2 med Special pho - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

As a Vietnamese American who has been spoiled with authentic Vietnamese food growing up in California, I was disappointed in the lack of quality Vietnamese food in the Midwest. Then I stumbled upon Pho Cali and my world turned upside down. The Bun Bo Hue was fantastic (one of the best I've eaten) and I had the chance to speak to the owner. He collaborates with California-based Vietnamese American chefs and the high quality of the food shows. Can't wait to get back here and taste a bit of home. read more

I always get Pho with beef brisket and maybe sometimes crab rangoons/spring rolls. The servings of pho are GIGANTIC i could just diieeee. It's really good. (I don't actually know anything about pho though, I've been here like ten times lol.) It's always kinda empty and dark. Always really consistent. I'm sad they changed their name, Pho King was the best name............. read more

This place is awesome! My whole family loves it. We come here at least once a week. The menu has a great variety.

All though I highly enjoyed the Pho from this establishment I do believe I was premature with my earlier review. About an hour to an hour and a half after slurping down the deliciously tasty large bowl of pho I found my self in a very disconcerting position. I was SOOOOO tired I could barely keep my eyes open with a raging headache. And that means just one thing....MSG!!!! ANYTIME I intake that poison into my body this happens. So I do believe this establishment use MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE. It makes things tasty but can really put some folks for a tailspin. So if you are sensitive to MSG as others are... I can't in good conscience recommend this establishment. But if you are not sensitive to or just don't care about it...have at it. The pho was delightful. Happy Eating!!! read more

This is by far my favorite spot for Pho. I usually get the beef pho with meatballs. Always consistent and very flavorful. The service when dining in can be a bit hit or miss, but it's never terrible enough to not want to return. read more

Great food and quick service! I come here all the time for their pho which tastes amazing. The price is a bit higher than I am used to but I don't mind it for the pho. I've also had the sandwiches which are also a bit high in price but taste great as well. read more

Lovely place, I have really enjoyed their pho. The server has also been super nice each time I've gone. One caution: don't get the pho to-go. Meat is raw and rice noodle is sticky, so takeout is difficult to be enjoyable and hygienic. read more

Good Vietnamese food. Pho was good, broth was a tad too salty. Banh mi sandwich was also good, but bun wasn't quite right. Regardless, I would come here again! read more

I often travel for work and have been to probably 2 dozen Pho restaurants in many different states over the years, this was the best. While I ordered some BBQ spring rolls, this review will be based purely on the special combination pho #1. It was amazing! The broth was perfect. In fact, I slightly messed it up by adding ingredients to the bowl (my bad). Tons of tender beef, meatballs, tendon and noodles, a huge bowl of amazing broth, and tons of sauces at the table. Thank you! read more

The food looked really good, too bad I couldn't enjoy it... I'm in town for business and have no friends or family in the area and have been craving some good homemade Asian food all week. I didn't want to think too much of it but when you go into an Asian Restaurant by yourself and your not of an Asian descent or Vietnamese they don't pay too much attention to you. It was super slow for a Saturday. I was seated and waited about 10 minutes which wasn't too bad but when the sever severs water to new customers that just walked in and was prepare to take their order right away. I was mad. Not only did I not get water but both severs walked by me multiple times made eye contact and proceeded to help other people. I could of said something but seriously no one else was in the restaurant and I told the guy who seated me I was by myself. I walked out and went up the street to the other Vietnamese restaurant, way better service. 2 Stars for their service, maybe next time I'll have the food. read more

Ordered the shrimp pho...was really good..the only think that I didn't understand was they have medium and large...I requested the medium to go, but they would only give me the large to go...thought that was odd...great soup though read more

After passing by this place a few times I finally decided to try it out. Pho was good. I got a medium sized house special which had plenty of meat and a flavorful broth. Decent amount of fixings on the table to customize the broth. I'd like to come back and try the ban mi sandwiches. read more

Pho is one of my favorite meals, so after reading all of the reviews we were excited to try this place. unfortunately the service was so poor it was hard to enjoy. We had to wave the guy down after ten minutes of no one coming to take our order. We waited for 25 minutes for our spring rolls to come out then an additional ten for the pho. They make a big vat of broth, how can it take so long?! We almost walked out when they finally brought the spring rolls. My husband got regular meat pho and liked it. My chicken pho had a few pieces of shredded chicken, but the broth was tasty. The tofu spring rolls were very good. They have no veggie pho option which is unfortunate. They forgot and mixed up two orders at the table next to us. Two small pho and a spring roll were $25, too much for pho. Will not be making the trip down there again. read more

Went there last week with my family. First I ask for hot water they gave me hot tea. So there english is not too good. The pho is good. The spring roll is not too good. Usually they give lettuce to wrap with the spring roll. They didn't give that. I am not sure I will come back here again. read more

Ate here for the first time a couple of weekends ago. The broth was outstanding! Very beefy and savory. Good balance of spices. Probably some of the best I've had. It has become a favorite. read more

I don't know what is going on with Pho Cali but after today, I'm not sure I want to eat there again. We ordered two bowls of pho and they didn't wash the basil. There were dry dirt on all the leafs. When I told the waiter about it, he took it back, and brought me some new basil. It look like they rinsed the basil but there were still dirt. This time I am pissed so I said "Excuse me, is this how you wash your veggies? There are still dirts on the basil." The waiter came over, wipe the dirty leaf I handed to him and said "We do wash them, they are brown spot on the leaf not dirt." I gave him an nasty look, swipe my figure across the leaf to show him the dirt and told him I know the difference between dirt and bruised spot on a leaf. He say he can go get some more, I told him to not bother because I won't eat it. read more

Always a go to for hang overs! Great pho, stopped going for a year because it wasn't consistent for a while. Just recently started going back and the pho is just as I remembered when we first checked in. read more
