Phở Cali

We stopped for dinner and had the fresh spring rolls and combination Pad Thai. They were both amazing! The spring rolls were really "fresh" and the large shrimp in them were cooked perfectly and not rubbery or dry. The Pad Thai was very tasty and the chicken and beef melted in your mouth and the shrimp was perfect!! Prices are reasonable for a sit-down restaurant on Main St. Service was excellent. The dining room is plain and simple and clean; nothing fancy.

This pho restaurant was great. I had the Pho Dac Biet, and the broth was exceptional. It had strong flavours, and there was a lot of meat, as well as noodles. The rest of the food was also great. The service was quick, and positive, always smiling. The atmosphere had a local vibe, with dated decor. Overall, highly recommend.

Being from Toronto I was craving Pho. Decided to get take out. The broth was delish and very flavorful. The soup is an enormous size. I appreciate that they put the broth in its own container that has a very good lid. No spillage. Service was prompt. Also ordered the dumpling and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Everything is heavenly. A must in chilly Florida weather. The restaurant inside is exceptionally clean as was the bathroom. Try this place out.

This place definitely deserves a 5-star review for the quality of its food and its authenticity. I can agree with some: maybe it’s not the best looking… or the one with the nicest servers… but have you tasted its food??? The Rare Beef Pho is simply delicious. The Chicken Curry… well, amazing! Even the appetizers… the pan-fried dumplings are great! I can’t wait to go back there and try new things… it was a very good experience for me and the delicious food definitely overcomes any other issues.

Updated June 2023: it's been a year or so since I reviewed this place but our most recent visit yesterday left us feeling the food quality was not up to their usual standards. I hope this was a one-off bad night versus an indication that they are slipping. Customer service and ambiance remain great. I will update this after our next visit. Lowered food rating to 4 Stars, for now. Best Vietnamese in the Sarasota region. Worth the drive up from Venice/Englewood. Clean, quick, tasty and authentic with vegan options. I recommend the banh zero/Vietnamese Pancakes. And their noodle bowls are the excellent.
