Pho Hung Cali

Delicious pho and excellent fast service! I always choose Pho Hung Cali over any other pho restaurant. The service is always great, very friendly!

This is a low quality chicken meat. Secondly, it was dry, not juicy. First and last time, unfortunately.

I'm actually unsure as to why this place had a couple of low ratings recently because I visited Pho Hung Cali for the first time this week and could not be any more pleased with my experience! I had their pho dac biet xe lua (26) in a regular size with meatballs and it was delicious! Really affordable, clear broth (which to me is an indicator of good pho), and delicious meats. There is also tons of seating and the waiters were incredibly kind to me. One of them gave me extra limes, chili oil, and broth without me even asking and I felt so taken care of :') I'd probably want to return again to try their banh mi or goi cuon because it looked pretty good, but their pho is a great choice for a new visitor. Lastly, they have their own small parking lot and clean restrooms. Great restaurant!

Solid place for Pho in South Bay! We usually go to City Heights for pho, but sometimes we don't want to drive that far, so we needed to find something in our own neighborhood.So far, it hits the spot. Swift service, great pho broth!We ordered a regular 40 Tai Chin, and large 36 well done beef, lots of noodles, could have been more meat. We also ordered the iced coffee. They didn't serve it with the coffee filter on top, and served it straight in a to go cup. Pay at the counter when you are done.Adding to our local go tos!

Ordered to-go via phoneThey projected 15min, but it was ready in 10Quick and easy pick up Steak and brisket was excellentGood brothThey have their own parking lot Would come again :)

Ordered their veggie pho with veggie broth too. It was all so delicious!!! The veggies and tofu were so fresh and delicious. Our server was so quick and attentive. The price point is perfect too. :-) Thank you!

Came here with my pho and ramen loving daughters (I am a soup lover as well!) We were going to return to a pho place we'd tried and liked about a month prior in the Sports Arena area, but we decided to try a new place (to us) and support a local Chula Vista restaurant.It is a large establishment. Looks like it could have been an all you can eat place prior to Pho Cali. We were seated promptly by a very nice gentleman. It's a very casual restaurant so you don't come here for the ambiance.The menu has a good selection of pho and non-soup items. We were here for the soup, so we all ordered the rare beef and brisket pho, our usual preferred type. We also got some of the egg rolls to start.The egg rolls came out super quick and we're nice and hot. They included a lettuce wrap and some mint, which is standard. They were a little smaller on the size, but they were tasty and a good starter. The soup arrived shortly after we finished, nice and hot accompanied by the usual fixings. The broth was clear and the serving size was standard for both the regular and large. The prices are in line with most pho places I've been to, but I also consider location. I would think prices would be a tad less here ($1-2 less) but as long as people are willing to pay and feel it's worth it, that is what matters. Note that you pay at the register when you are done.Will I return? If I lived nearby or if I'm in the area craving pho, likely. However, I have a decent establishment less than 10 minutes from where I live (this place is more like 20 min), so we'll likely continue to support them. For those deciding, they are worth a try!

Dined in for dinner. Party of 5.5. We were greeted at the front and was seated promptly. The guy that sat us down was nice and seemed very eager to get take our orders. I ordered the a regular #25 special pho filet mingnon. Our orders came out fast. Compared to other pho places portion wise they had what looked like a small bowl for a regular and for $14 I didn't think it was worth it. There was nothing special about the broth it was just okay. My toddler was with us and they didn't serve any type of fried rice and they recommended some "rice cakes" which turned it to be just regular noodles and plain broth in a very very small bowl for $7. No one ever came back to check on us or refilled our drinks after they brought our food out. Most likely won't come back

Pho Hung Cali delivers on the essentials! The service is quick and easy - no waiting around, just straight to the pho goodness. Personally, the Pho Dac Biet is my holy grail; it never disappoints. Now, about the ambiance, it could use a bit of a facelift, but let's be real - I'm here for the pho, not the chandeliers. So, if you're looking for a no-fuss, quick pho fix, this is your spot. The flavors make up for any lack in ambiance.

It's been a while since I've came here. Whenever I think of to go eat to have great Vietnamese food and pho, I usually recommend here. The food was good, we had broken rice and pho. I wouldn't get the soda because they give you a can, which is $3. Service is known to be ignored here, which I used to be forgiving about but after yesterday's experience, I am NEVER coming back why? The server was great but one of the owners, literally told us that they "you need to leave. We close at 8:30 PM". The sign clearly says 9 PM. Also, during our dinner service, the staff was really loud. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty annoying and it was hard to enjoy our meal. One of the female owners, was sitting near the entrance way talking really loudly on the phone, on a video call. Since I understand Vietnamese, she was basically gossiping and a lot of the staff members were also doing that. Yeah, I understand it was a slow night, but I think it's rude. We also noticed that one of the staff told two men to go clean the restrooms. I went in afterwards, and it smelled like bleach. It wasn't really clean, like there was toilet paper on the floor. The trash bins was emptied and there was no hand soap in the men's restroom. The floor was still wet without a "caution: slippery floor" sign. Upon paying we didn't leave a tip, because we were asked to leave and one of our friends didn't finish their food. We didn't even bother asking for a to-go container. I started speaking in Vietnamese at the end, and the guy who asked us to leave stayed silent. I basically told him that, "we wouldn't eat here again".When we left the restaurant, we saw a guy smoking and loading food from the restaurant in back of his pickup truck. He was saying bye in English and vietnamese, but he was laughing at us, as we were going to our cars.
