Pho Cali - Sandwiches - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

Still our favorite Pho place. The flavors are right on. The portions are a good size. Friendly staff. Lots of parking.

Across the last 9 bowls, never been disappointed- until today, the bun bo hue had an excessive crabby taste? Didn't taste as good as usual. Too much paste of some sort maybe? Hopefully just an off day. read more

Came here last minute as I thought this was in Roseville but it ended up being in Rocklin which wasn't too far of a commute. I was happy to find that the food was flavorful and pho broth tasted as expected. It's hard to find good pho in the area as we found out the day before at another spot. Pho dac biet had all the topping was expected, they only serve one size but portion was good for the price. They don't have fresh/fat noodles but that's ok. Wife got the wonton soup and the it was delicious, broth was on point as expected.i would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for Bay Area flavors up north. read more

This is my go to spot for pho and somehow i've never made a review. Hands down, best pho in town! The broth is savory, especially with toppings & sauces added. P.S. The portions are very filling, so always make sure to come on an empty stomach. :) read more

3.5 stars for solid pho! Rounding down, because the soups were too fish sauce, heavy, and it was very off the beaten track (coming back from Tahoe) - beef rib pho. Loved the generous portion of bean sprouts, the meat was pretty tender, but not fall off the bone. The noodles were the perfect texture. - The spring rolls were fresh. I would definitely order it again. - The vermicelli bowl was good, standard. - The chicken pho was my least favorite, did not like the flavor of the soup. Appreciated the 10% cash discount, but will probably try other places next time read more

They have pretty good pho here for sure and the Cafe "Suada"-yummy and sizable! I took one pic of the large beef and brisket pho combo with traditional sprouts and mint leaves with sriracha. It's good, hardy and yummy Too bad you can never order it anywhere without the MSG! I shall go back read more

They serve FRESH noodles! On our way back to the Bay Area from Reno - we decided to stop for lunch in Rocklin and searched for a hot bowl of Pho due to the weather. This spot is LEGIT. Broth was strong and tasty, lots of meat and the best part was the fresh noodles. We are accustomed to good pho spots living in the bay and frequent Viet town in San Jose. This place definitely compares to some of the best Bay Area Pho spots. Clean, friendly, generous portions. Dinner time was busy and lots of take out orders. Pinning this spot for when we find ourselves in the area. read more

One of my favorite I-80 corridor food stops! I always call my order in on the way, and it's ready within about 10-20 minutes. The Banh mi are my favorite; if you've got a sweet tooth, grab a dessert drink with jelly or boba. The strawberry hearts I got last time were adorable AND a delightful addition to my milk tea. Honestly, I haven't ventured the rest of the menu (because a Vietnamese sandwich is top notch for road trips) OR dined in; Pho Cali appears to have limited seating, but it gives the restaurant a family feel. I'd love to try their other options someday soon - I'm sure there's a reason their Yelp rating is so high! read more

We had lunch here last Saturday. Service was top-notch and Food was amazing. We used to go to Pho Saigon but the service got so bad, so we left and had been going to the one in Citrus Heights. Now that we know Pho Cali has really good customer service and quality dishes, this is our new favorite place! read more

Great, fast, clean little restaurant serving excellent pho and bahn mie. The calamari was good too and the service is always spot on! I stole glimpses at other tables and saw excellent looking pot stickers and chicken salad with shrimp chips. Definitely returning to try those! And prices are fantastic and sides of fresh Thai basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and bean sprouts are always fresh and generous portions! read more

Gonna be spending some time down in the Rocklin/Roseville area for the holiday weekend, so I stopped in here for a little lunch after the drive down the 5 from Red Bluff. I read that this place, Pho Cali, offers the Vietnamese Crepe Bahn Xeo. I love that dish, so unusual from the run of the mill bowl of pho or other noodle dish. This is a hard to find dish, so I always wanna give it a try when I come across it. The service is quick and efficient here, no messin around making convo or anything. The crepe arrives and it's a decent size all right. It's thin and crispy and filled with shrimp, pork and bean sprouts and served with a big side of greens. There's a nice orange colored sweetish dipping sauce. I just poured it all over the crepe. The flavor was bright and fresh. I liked this version and would come back here again for this. More rare is the Thai version of this crepe. read more

I want to start by saying that this is might be the only pho noodle restaurant that opens up during breakfast time. Me and my wife came here for the first time. Based on seating, about 50 people capacity. The food was excellent. Both me and my wife had the seafood pho noodles. They also got a lot more food than just pho noodles. Love the service where you always refilled my water constantly. Final note the restaurant takes 10% off the price when you pay with cash. read more

Went here on a random night and was very surprised that this place was really good! Would go more often but I live in EG. I got the Bo Kho noodles and my boyfriend got pho and both were really good! Very affordable and the portions were humongous. Probably the biggest portion I've had for pho. Service was good as well. read more

Feeling under the weather and needed some soup in my life. Since moving to Rancho Cordova there hasn't been a good pho place near me and I am very picky with my pho broth. My boyfriend chiropractor is Vietnamese and recommended this place since she lives in Rocklin and usually eats pho in South Sacramento like me! That's when I knew I could trust the recommendation. They also close late, at 9pm. We arrived around 7:50pm and there was only one other table, but by 8:45 when we were leaving there was another four tables sitting with us. We ordered the eggrolls and two orders of the special beef pho. There is only one size. They come in nice metal bowls. The soup was piping hot!!!! Just the way I like it. There was so much meat in there. The meat quality was so amazing we were both so shocked!!! From Elk Grove to south Sacramento the meat in the beef pho is either usually really tough or doesn't taste fresh, but here the soup is piping hot and the meat is still tender and not overcooked by the end of my meal!! I love that the condiment plates of vegetable's come with chili oil crunch. And of course the broth is amazing because that is also a very important part. It is not just about the abundance of food they put into the bowl. It is about the taste of the broth. Our new go to even if it's a 40 min drive. Highly recommend based off of what we had so far. read more

My friend and I recently came here for lunch. We both had Pho (my friend had House Special, and I had Sliced Steak, Brisket, Flank, Tendon). I asked for the sliced steak to be fully cooked, rather than rare. Flavors were very good (I'm not sure if it was from a rich broth flavor, or from condiment-enhanced flavoring), and the amount of meat was just right for my tastes. We both enjoyed our meal. Service was fine (efficient, and always available if I needed something). read more

Nestled in a shopping area in Rocklin, this restaurant offers good quality Vietnamese food. This spot we discovered while in search of Vietnamese food around the Roseville area since we didn't want to drive all the way down to South Sac. The service was quick and easy, we were greeted as we walked through the door, typical "mom and pop" shop and the food didn't disappoint. My husband and I ordered pho soups and for my son, a grilled pork chop plate. The soups came out piping hot which is how we like them and very flavorful with the first sip. This will be our go-to for our pho. The pork-chop plate was also flavorful, and the side veggies were fresh and added the touch needed to balance out the flavors from the pork-chop. read more

Well I do have years of experience in eating so please understand the detail for this review. I reviewed another review that recommended Pho Cali. Now I have eaten at Best Sandwiches in Stockton as well up and down Stockton Boulevard. I had high expectations but this is considering Roseville. Spring Rolls were fresh but no flavor. Peanut Sauce was soothing, thick, and warm like baking cookies. Weird for me. The "best" Bahn Mi sandwich was definitely not. Super dry and not enough meat ratio to bread, and veggie balance. I ordered extra meat $4 but that still didn't cut it. read more

This was my first time trying Pho Cali and I was not disappointed. I've tried a few other Vietnamese spots in the area but this place will be a part of my regular rotation now. Went in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and was greeted and sat as soon as I walked in. The service is quick and very friendly. The young gentleman running the front by himself did a good job as it was getting fairly busy. They also had signage for a 10% off offer if you decide to pay with cash; not sure how long this offer will last though! The inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side, almost cozy. They had all the sauces and utensils propped up on the table so you have everything you need without asking. It is also one of those spots where you go up to the counter to pay after the meal, rather than waiting on someone to bring a check so I was able to pay and leave when I was actually finished. I decided to go with the BBQ pork and wonton hu tieu. I love hu tieu, however, I hate making the drive to south Sacramento to get some good soup. The wontons were super flavorful and didn't have a lot of excess wrapper like some other spots. Their broth is definitely on the sweeter end too, which I like, but if that is not your preference I would ask for soup on the side and adjust to your liking, or choose a dish that doesn't contain broth. The portion for me could have been two servings, I couldn't finish half of my bowl because they were so generous with everything! I will definitely be back to try more from them. I left full and very happy :) read more

Pho Cali - Wonton, BBQ Pork Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

The 4/5 stars is well deserved--but thats for the big picture. Disclaimer I'm from San Jose, particularly in the Little Saigon area. Notably an area that has one of the bigger Vietnamese populations in California. So Vietnamese food, even despite not being Viet, was like a major staple of out diet. We went here because its one of the most reviewed with highest ratings. YELP EFFECT! Roseville/Rocklin area is super nice so no worries on location. The inside was also very clean. We ordered the house special Pho, which is basically everything. And ordered a beef com tam (rice plate). There is no size choices with the Pho. But it is a generous bowl. I would say equivalent to a large in a lot of places. Also first time I had pho served in a stainless steel bowl. I dont know how well it retains heat, but I commented how it seems like it got cooler faster. The Com Tam rice plate we had came with the usual fish sauce. I ordered the one that had an egg cake. Good sign is the rice is actually com tam broken rice. I love the texture of it and I hate when places end up just using normal rice. So as for the Pho--it was good. But not great. I love the price, I love the portions as they did not skimp at all in the meat. But the quality/flavor was just ok. The meat was tougher than many places I've tried before--don't get me wrong, it was still good but it wasnt as soft and tender. And a big part was the broth itself. It was definitely more "clean" to put it in a good way. It wasn't as bold and full of flavor as others. BUT this is me just being critical, but in the grand scheme of things it was a "good" pho bowl. The Com Tam was just as good as some of the best places I eat at in SJ. The egg cake was up there with some of the best ones I've tried. Beef was flavorful and tender--though portion on this could have been better. We ordered the ones with grilled shrimp and it was cooked well. What also stood out was the GREAT SERVICE. The staff was super nice and attentive--rare over in SJ where once they drop your food you do not see them again, and if you do you are met with blank no expression. This was complete contrast. I get it, for THIS AREA (if you know what I mean) it is catered well to the area lol. You know what I mean yall. I would still come back. The little short comings arent deal breakers. It's still some good pho. read more

Pho Cali - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

One of the best pho place around Rocklin and Roseville. Their pho comes out piping hot with a lot of flavor.

This is probably the worst restaurant food I ever experienced where I couldn't eat the food after tasting it. I was hesitant to try it after I saw the health report's 6 violations but thought after so many years haven't come to this place I would give it a try. Order the chicken noodle soup and initially told the server the thin flat rice noodles but then he kept saying it was chow fun noodle big one if it was OK. I thought ok fine probably they don't have the thin one. Omg the worst noodle ever, the texture is like the noodles that have been recooked and frozen for reuse. It doesn't taste like chow fun, so horrible. I ate chow fun noodles almost every week so the taste and texture are something I'm very familiar with. I can't even take another bite. It was so bad. The worst part is they charged $1 extra without telling me that the thick noodles were more expensive even though they never warned me and that's not even my original order. Then I got the fresh roll with the super bad sauce that's bland. No taste just like a brown sauce with no taste and the fresh spring roll is bad, the noodle clumps up. The regular pho probably is not bad but the two orders I got are the worst ones ever. The service is good, the server is pretty friendly. Don't think I will be back after this food experience with bad quality. read more

First time here, Pho and spring rolls were hot and good. The broth was a little bit sweet for my liking. Service and cleanliness however were not the best. My water glass had some gross crust on the inside. Which turned me off immediately. Appetizer got dropped off with no plates. We had to ask twice to have our waters filled as the two employees sat behind the counter on their phone. The young man was nice. Probably will not return. read more

Overall the service was good as we got seated immediately and the ambiance was chill and welcoming. read more

Pho Cali - Vermicelli beef bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

A great place in Rocklin to get a big bowl of delicious pho, or a vermicelli bowl. Good service and clean dining area. The house special pho is definitely my favorite dish here, but I'll be honest I haven't tried a lot on the menu. The pho is in a rich savory broth and only comes in one size, gigantic. It is a big pricey and I wish they had an option for a smaller serving as I can never finish mine. It comes with mung bean sprouts, fresh Thai basil, sliced jalapeños, and the soup is served with many cuts of meat including flank steak, tendon, tripe, and meat balls. I'll keep coming back as the food is quite good! read more

Pho Cali - Pho Special 34 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rocklin, California

We were driving home from a trip back from Tahoe and ended up stopping in Rocklin for gas. It was also dinner time and Yelp came to the rescue with Pho Cali as a suggestion. All I gotta say is that Pho Cali really lived up to its great reviews! We came in around dinnertime on a random Thursday and the restaurant was starting to get packed. I could definitely see why this place is popular. For pho options, we ordered the chicken noodle soup and the house special (beef). The pho comes in HUGE portions and is so worth the price. Not sure if my photos are able to show how big the bowl is. The soup is very flavorful and each bowl comes with many big chunks of meat. Even my friend who has super high standards of pho (and finds the broth at most places too watered-down) really liked the soup. We also ordered a beef stew which everyone loved. It was perfect for a cold rainy day. We were digging into it so quickly that I forgot to get a pic. The stew was packed with beef and carrots that absorbed some delicious flavor. The soup was so good and not too oily. My friend ordered a Vietnamese crepe (banh xeo), but it was a bit too oily for her. She generally likes it with a thinner crepe too. However, the fish sauce that comes with it pairs perfectly with the dish. There was also a strong coconut taste in the crepe which I liked. Tastewise, the dish was still good. Overall, we loved eating at Pho Cali and would definitely comes back if we're ever in Rocklin again. One more thing is that you get a 10% discount if you pay in cash. read more

Me and my fiancé wanted to try a new spot since our usual spot we go to was closed. We went on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, #32 and #42 for the Pho. As pictured, in #32 there was an excessive amount of uncooked meat. There were only about two pieces of meat entirely that were edible. My fiancé said his had the same. Neither of us finished our bowls and left only having tried a couple of bites. The spring rolls were also bland and the peanut sauce that came with them was very watery. We will not be returning. read more

When we're craving Vietnamese food and too lazy to go to Stockton Blvd, we always get Pho Cali! My boyfriend orders their banh xeo on the regular because of its size, crispness, and it's packed with protein. Their pho is pretty standard. If I'm dying from a hangover, it'll do the job! But it's definitely not the best. I've been craving pho but knew the pho wouldn't do it for me, so I tried their banh canh. The banh canh was good! The broth is light and slightly sweet. It contains cha lua, imitation crab, tofu/fish cakes, quail eggs, and ground pork. It's written in the menu as "crab and pork" so I was expecting sliced bbq pork like in hu tieu. I was a little disappointed but it didn't ruin the meal for me. If you're in the Roseville/Rocklin area, Pho Cali will be your best bet! Otherwise, you'll be making that trek down to South Sac read more
