Pho Cali 764 Dennery Road, San Diego, CA 92154

"This place was sadly a huge disappointment. I can't blame the staff for the service because there was only one lady during dinner rush hour, and she was the cashier and waitress. I'm assuming. Since she was so busy as the cashier we were never checked on by any server. We ordered at the register and tried the egg rolls, fillet mignon vermicelli bowl. The cook brought out our food. The egg rolls were not served with the usual lettuce and mint leaf that every Pho place serves them with. We had to get up to go ask for lettuce and we were told they don't serve them with lettuce. The egg rolls were so soggy and greasy!!! Had the flavor of being fried in old reused oil. The vermicelli bowl was so bland the meat had no flavor. I've been to many Pho places and have never been to one this disappointing. They are lucky they're in a very busy commercial area with lots of people shopping and needing to get food."

"Those good reviews must be paid for.. because this place was not it. The pho was sooo bland. I put tons of salt, siracha, hoisin sauce and it was still just subpar. They brought me brown bean sprouts.. literally brown. We also got the veggie egg rolls which were definitely store bought. They brought out lemons instead of limes. It’s just definitely not authentic as the entire staff was Hispanic. Very nice staff, just obviously don’t know what pho really is. Overall 2/5 stars, wouldn’t come back."

"I'm not a huge Pho person, but they have plenty of delicious alternatives! I could not speak to their Pho but the dishes my friend and I had were very good! The staff was super nice, and the service was quick and accurate. I'd definitely recommend this place for those who want to go out with friends/family that do like Pho because of their ample options for anyone who doesn't favor Pho."

"Sadly, another disappointing meal. Not entirely bad was just bland. I have had Pho in every state I've traveled to. After a far worse lunch in Charlotte NC, this is probably the second worst. To start, the Pho noodles were soft and bland. The soup stock was watery and had the same flavor as store bought broth. My wife's soup was an oilier version. The last nail in the coffin was the tasteless egg roll dipping sauce and the baggy of extras that appeared "recycled". I'm not going to bash the place much more... The establishment requires some new excitement and then sprinkled on their food. This was my second and final visit. Judge for yourself."
