Pho CALI - Vietnamese restaurant in Rocklin - 2209 Sunset Blvd #903, USA

My husband and I have eaten here several times, on several different occasions. I've brought friends to eat here as well. The staff is very nice and friendly. The kitchen will accommodate reasonable changes and substitutions. My only qualm is: consistency in meat cook times. Specifically, the Korean style short ribs. The short cook time issue with the beef ribs seems to have been rectified. On Sunday nights, when it's packed, you'd have to roll me out because I'm so full, and the food is cooked to perfection. However, on any given weekend lunch period, you get what you get. And, while staff ask, 'how is the food?' They have zero power to return the food or remove from bill if you are not satisfied with cook times. So, we are thinking to just stop by only at heaviest customer periods for better food cook time consistency. This is a bummer because I would eat here far more frequently, if I could.

First time trying this spot and I would say the pho and beef bone was pretty good. The pho already taste good the way it is so you don’t have to put in a lot of condiments. The spring rolls are ok, the sauce is a little plain for me. The rice plate is ok also, the rice was a bit hard, but besides that, the sauce and meat was flavorful.

In from out of town and picked pho Cali as our pho option to represent cali pho. Glad we stopped by. The food came out extremely fast. Service was short but attentive. Chicken wings were crispy and Crunchy but under seasoned. The egg rolls were a better appetizer. Now to the pho, I've had a ton of pho in my life time. This pho is definitely above average. Nice clear broth that isn't too oily. There was a good mix of veggies and meat. The meatball of choice was good (Some meat balls are better than others). The beef rib was nice and tender. Good selection on the pho condiments. Great presentation!

we ordered the best seller steak pho which has all kinds of meat. but then upon eating it, i saw a hair. it was so gross. i lost my appetite. we told the waiter about it and we showed the picture while holding up the actual meat that has the hair. the chefs just look at us and they didn’t even say sorry. they even took the meat with the hair back into the kitchen? the chef asked to look at it in person and we didn’t hear anything back from them. the waiter took the pho off of our receipt, but we paid for our drinks which were smoothies. we didn’t finish all of the food because we lost our appetite. we will never come back. if there is a 0 star that would be the rate.

This place is a hidden gem!! My husband & I fell in love with the Pho here.. Everything is amazing every time we go.. We're hooked, big fans of this place☺️☺️ The portions are crazy, we can actually split a bowl & be fully satisfied.. Great food, great atmosphere & great prices.. The employees are awesome too👍👍

Very nicely seasoned and presented food items. Pleasant staff. Restaurant itself looks a little tired and in need of a minor facelift. Overall though, a good new location for a delicious lunch!

I have been ordering from this restaurant every 2-3 weeks for 5+ years! "gramma" makes the best Spring Rolls and I cannot give them up! My husband loves all the other food they have and we are so satisfied with everything. You won't go wrong eating here!

Great flavor, large bowl size, however, meat portions are very scarce. My Chicken Noodle Pho Bowl had 4 thin slices in total. Place feels and looks clean. Single stall restroom was clean. Moderately priced.
