Have you ever seen that viral reel (yes, I'm a millennial) where 3.5 star rated Chinese restaurants is actually considered the sweet spot for authentic Chinese food?Well Pho Ca Dao Poway is it, in the Vietnamese category.Always consistent, always delicious, always accurate and always prompt service. This restaurant (when I'm not ordering delivery) is clean upon entry and doesn't give that nasty hole in the wall vibe. Yes, parking can be terrible/tight if it's busy, but it's so worth it! While their salt and pepper wings can use improvement (needs bigger wings and more breading); I can't say enough good things about their Pho Tai, Grilled Chicken Pho, Spring rolls, trio vermicelli bowl, and beef Bahn mi sandwiches! Always hits the spot and has such a great flavor!I'm here for Pho Ca Dao Poway and also here for raising their rating to that 3.5 sweet spot.

The food was actually pretty decent but I would not go back based on the customer service. The waitress was not polite or friendly at all. There was an older Asian man I'm not sure who he was but he came by to give us the food and he was very rude and kept banging his hand palm up on the table aggressively when he was asking for payment or the menus back. That was super weird like I have no idea why he couldn't use his words ? Super bad experience and weird rude staff

I'm going to help bump up the reviews of this place. Pho Ca Dao & Grill is a chain within San Diego and while it's not mind blowing food, it's solid, relatively cheap, and food comes quick. I'm not sure if I've just been able to avoid crowds or if they're just not that busy as an establishment, but there was never a wait for seating and again, food doesn't take long to come. The decor is nice, the staff comes and takes your order but won't constantly hover over you while you eat. It's a solid spot and I've been here at least 3 times now.

Service was fast and the food was really tasty. The Bahn Mi sandwich that I ordered was really good and the meat was so tender.

Good food their pho soups and spring rolls were awesome their flavor was on point. This place has probably one the best fried spring rolls. Their service is pretty quick also.

I think this chain is an institution in these parts of San Diego. Its good dependable pho. Is it wow? Well in general for me pho is a comfort food - im usually not looking for some fusion or some wow factor. I love that they actually have a menu item to get just the broth - for rainy days or days when im down with a cold its the perfect meal. I have tried the chicken pho and some of the beef ones. All are solid good.Their egg rolls are also delicious.

By far this location runs much a lot smoother and has better customer service than the RB location. You cannot go wrong with the pho here and the fried calamari is a nice alternative to the typical egg rolls. No complaints on the service. A great addition to Poway.

Ok so it's confession time!I didn't go to Pho Ca Dao for about 10ths because I found the best pho spot in San Diego, so for years I would Lowkey Diss pho ca dao and call it Pho for beginners.Recently a co worker took me out for lunch and he said let's eat here I kept my comments to my self.... Instead of ordering pho I decided to get the Ban mi sandwich (charbroiled Beef, sauce cucumber and peppers.. don't forget your egg) the works y'all....And guess what happened a year fell from my eyes and I apologize to all the staff for anything I may had said about this place!This sand which is the best Ban Mi, I'm sure a niche spot I don't know about has the actual best.... But for Pho Ca Dao to be a franchise there food is ver good specially there meats! IF ITS GRILLED ITS AMAZING! That's there specialty.So enjoy the food the hand painted murals in the walls!! And lastly the robots bringing you food hahaY

What a cool place, with great food, and a cute robot! Was pleasantly surprised to see how nicely appointed the restaurant was. Very inviting and plenty of details in the decor to look at. We were immediately seated, and the staff was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Pho Tai for my buddy and ribeye pho for me with salad rolls. Broth was hot and not overly oily, and the add-on ingredients were fresh. Really tasty pho. The salad rolls were wrapped perfectly and very fresh. Overall impressions from this first timer were extremely positive. Will be returning so I can check out other menu items and see the robot again!

When it starts to get that fall weather... PHO! And this review is to let you know they offer more than that here. Momma was wanting pho, and I wasn't feeling it. So I went with that good ole fashion steak and eggs with a twist. "Pho Ca Dao" has a broad menu and caters to all. I got the Banh Mi #7. It's basically "steak and eggs" with a baguette. Simple but so filling. The baguette was fresh and with that yoke from the eggs to supply the creamy texture.... The service?? Well if you haven't had a robot serve your meal?? Don't! Lol. Nah, I mean it wasn't bad, just odd to see Rosie the made from the "Jetsons" serving you a Banh Mi Sammy. Great location with adamant seating. Right off Poway road so you can't miss it. Definitely a must for the first for Vietnamese Cuisine first timers.
