    My dad's favorite place! He always gasses up this place, so i went ahead and tried it. It's soooo yummy! What a nice gatekeep, but the pho is amazing! Can't wait to try other dishes :)

    The food at Pho Cali is always so so good. The ingredients are always fresh food always comes out hot. The flavors are always so deep. And the service is always great. Last server I had was named Tony he was super courteous and kind. He would always check in and was very attentive to how I was doing. The ambiance is nice music played was very good. And the restaurant is always clean. I will definitely be coming back

    This is my second time here, and I love this place! We ordered the egg rolls once again, and, once again they were outstanding. We both ordered the Pho soup. One was the spicy beef noodle soup, #32 in the second one was the house special, #34. They were both outstanding. We had to take leftovers home with us because there was so much. Both dishes were absolutely yummy! And, once again, I will be back.

    Beef Stew Soup

    Beef Stew Soup was excellent! Tasty and flavorful broth, large chunks of tender, fatty beef. Egg noodles were also great. Large portions of food with the perfect balance of soup, noodles and meat. (I didn't run out until I was finished) Guys were very friendly.

    Pho Cali is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and it's fairly close to the Galleria mall. The place is quaint with furniture that's a bit dated. The staff is friendly and we were seated immediately. I got the house special pho with has everything (flank steak, tendon, meatball). Overall it was okay. The portion size was good but the meat was low quality and chewy. The broth is okay. I've had better pho elsewhere.

    We came back with friends and I can now say this is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in NorCal. In addition to the perfect chicken pho and delicious mama marinated grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls, their grilled pork banh mi sandwich? Divine. Top tier. Our friends also loved the stir fried egg noodles with beef (hu tieu xao bo). Unfortunately their BBH was a let down because it was way too sweet- looks like both their beef pho and BBH tend to lean that direction. Nonetheless, I am impressed that a restaurant can completely nail a variety of dishes and am excited to come back and try more items from their menu. 5 stars!

    What a nice find in Rocklin! Pho Cali is a short drive from the Roseville Galleria, and is a nice place to sit down for a good meal, especially as the offerings at the Galleria aren't the best. I've had this place bookmarked for a while, but didn't get to check it out until recently. The smell of boiling broth hit my nose as soon as I got out of the car. That's always a good sign. It was a hot day, but I still wanted pho. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, probably due to the heat, so we were seated immediately. The dining area isn't the largest, but it was clean and spacious. I went for the pho dac biet, while my husband went for the dry wonton and BBQ pork hu tieu. I also ordered a Thai tea. Our food arrived pretty quickly, and my bowl of pho was huge. It was packed with meat, broth, and a good helping of noodles. My husband's bowl was also filled well, and came with a good-sized side of wonton soup. I had a quick sip of my broth before adding any fixings, and it was delicious and fatty. It seemed that the kitchen staff didn't skim off the extra fat during cooking the broth, but I didn't mind. It was so beefy and flavorful. (Normally that would be reserved on the side as nuoc beo.) As far as fixings, the herbs were fresh. There was no chili oil at our table, but this was one of the rare times I didn't care about adding it, since the broth was so good. The noodles were perfectly cooked, however, the meat was tough for my taste. There was a ton of meat, so I'm definitely not complaining about the portion size, but the pieces of meat were neither sliced thinly or as tender as I would have liked. My husband, on the other hand, really liked his BBQ pork and wontons, and also said his noodles were really bouncy and to his liking. The hu tieu sauce was also flavorful. The Thai tea was refreshing and the perfect size. It wasn't watered down or too sweet, as I'm not a fan of sweet Thai tea. The balance between tea and cream was good. It also had the perfect amount of ice. I do not like when I pay $6 for a drink and the majority of my drink is ice. This had the perfect amount of ice. It is rare that I ever have leftovers when I get pho, but both my husband and I ate our fill and still had plenty of food left to take home. I ate all my noodles and brought home the broth and meat. Pho Cali is definitely worth it for the price, and since all their dishes are one-size, you can expect to take leftovers home. I'm hoping that next time, the meat is not as tough, but we shall see. I'll gladly return to Pho Cali again if I'm in the Rocklin/Roseville area for my pho fix, and would recommend this place for those looking for some delicious broth.

    Their #47. Beef Stew Noodle Soup and #43. Sliced Steak, Brisket Pho

    My go to Pho spot. I lived in the San Jose for over 10 years and this spot has beat anything I have had there. If you are a beginner with Pho, I highly recommend the #43. Genuine authentic food and kind front of house staff.

    The pho broth is slightly on the clear/sweet side, but absolutely delicious and perfect for the day when we wanted hot soup. The chicken wings weren't super crispy, but they were made for dipping in the sauce and the sweet chili sauce it comes with is positively flavorful and fantastic.

    Pho cravings satisfied! Nothing special about this spot but sometimes that's a good thing. Just good'ol, traditional soupy bowls of delicious pho servings. Ambiance is welcoming but nothing classy with limited seating and a generous parking lot. Feels a bit old and outdated inside, but it's clean and the food tastes great along with yummy smoothies for pairing. Service was friendly and accommodating for my family of 6 but seating is primarily designed for parties of 4 and below. Pho dishes were delicious and classic. The sautee curry chicken was good but was sad to hear that it was the only curry fish they had. Thus the only reason for the 1 star deduction - other than that, smoothies and thai iced tea were fantastic! Had some banh mi w/beef to go (TBD but I'm sure it's going to satisfy our cravings 100%). Great local spot, recommended for a quick way to satisfy your pho cravings, and no stress with parking!

    I love this place. I'm here almost every week--sometimes by myself, sometimes with my whole family. At this point, the staff probably recognizes me already, lol. This place is a real comfort spot for me. I'm always satisfied and happy every time I eat here. The food is consistently good, and the prices are affordable. Definitely deserving of 5 stars

    Brightly lighted room. Clean enough. Fast & friendly servers. I ate the crispy fried calamari and a giant bowl of stir fry rice noodle with seafood. My dining companion ate the beef stew with egg noodle. Crispy calamari is just passable. Probably just pre-packaged, frozen. Yes, crunchy. Rubbery calamari rings inside. Served super-duper hot. Not much flavor. A small bowl of sweet syrupy not spicy chili sauce served on the side. For $10 there's about 9 calamari rings on the plate. My seafood chow fun noodle dish was quite healthy. Chock full of diced vegetables. Seasoned mildly. I used a small bowl of Sriracha on the side to occasionally dip some morsels. There's at least 3 pounds of food on the big dish. I can eat like a hungry hound all day. I surrendered after about eating 1/2 of the meal. Brought the rest home for tomorrow's lunch. Tasted my friend's beef stew. Broth is sweet, not spicy. Beef hunks are tender. All done this inexpensive meal for both of us, $41 before tip, was quite satisfactory. I plan to return for a bowl of pho. Note: There is no alcohol served. No beer, no wine.

My wife and the other couple we were with also enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. We were greeted when we arrived and the food came out promptly, but after that, things dropped off. The couple with us ordered sodas that were never delivered, and my friend eventually had to walk up and ask for them. What was more disappointing was that instead of checking on tables, the staff member appeared to be eating their own dinner, and we were never checked on again for the remainder of the meal. Because of that, we ended up leaving our leftovers on the table and heading out. Good food, but the lack of attentive service was a turnoff and honestly kind of ruined what could have been a much better experience. I'll have to think about it hard before I go back to this place.
