Great experience. Quick seating, service with a smile. The salt and pepper wings were pretty good 4/5. Pho was excellent this visit, much improved from prior experiences. 4.5/5.
They had a cool little robot that helps carry trays to customers. Menu is extensive, but almost always visit for the pho. Vietnamese iced coffee was served traditional style (not premixed/made in the kitchen). 5/5
Overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend 5/5.

Pho Ca Dao – Comfort in a Bowl, Bright and Early
Pho Ca Dao never disappoints! The pho here is absolutely delicious—rich, savory broth with just the right balance of spice and freshness. The beef was tender and thinly sliced, and the herbs and toppings came crisp and vibrant, just begging to be stirred in.
One of the best parts? They open early! It’s the perfect spot to grab a warm, comforting bowl of pho to start your day right. Service is quick and friendly, and the space feels laid-back and welcoming.
Whether you’re an early bird or just in need of a reliable, tasty bowl of pho, Pho Ca Dao hits the spot every time.

We came here today just for a casual meal. It took 10 minutes before anyone even brought us a glass of water. The soup noodles had yellowish, not-fresh broccoli, and the carrots had a sour, spoiled taste. We mentioned this twice, and eventually the supervisor only replaced the broccoli and carrots. Honestly, I won’t be coming back here again.

My son and I eat at the Mira Mesa location every Thursday. We usually order the chicken pho and rare steak pho. We decided to order our pho to go. When we got home they didn’t add the rare steak. I called and let them know. I asked if I needed to take a picture and was told I needed to send a picture of the broth. Nothing else. My husband went to pick up what should have been a new order, as every restaurant does, but was sent raw meat. I went to ask for a refund and they told me I had to bring back the entire order. I took them back the raw meat. The least they could have done is sent new broth. So I then told them I wanted my whole order refunded. They called the owner, Duke, and he said I could contact his attorney! I was accused of lying. This restaurant has lost two loyal patrons that ate there every Thursday. We would sometimes go in twice a week. We took all our family to try pho.

A San Diego institution for authentic, family-owned Vietnamese food. Their traditional Pho features a rich, deep-flavored broth and fresh ingredients. Generous portions and friendly service make this a reliable comfort food spot.

The food is good but do not order online. They charge 3 additional fees. A ‘convenience fee’ plus a ‘carry out fee’ followed by a ‘pick up fee’ once you arrive. The fees totaled roughly $4 additional dollars. This is prior to any tip if you feel so inclined on a take out order. Might as well ordered through uber or doordash same cost

I wish I could give it 6 stars because their food was surprisingly delicious. We ordered their popular items (photos attached). Quick service and friendly staff. Lots of parking spots.

Oder pho soup and egg rolls for carry out. Paid online and when I got there they charged me more money stating price changed. This is bad business for what is stated you should not pay more. The pho soup lacked flavor and could have been warmer. The egg rolls my wife thinks were good but I have had better. We both agree that we both have had better pho soup.

Being a first time visitor this is a great place to eat. The food made fresh. Nothing cold here unless you order a drink. The soups are incredible, flavorful and delicious. They have Large and Regular. Large if you have a appetite. Regular will be pretty filling as well. Clean bathrooms. Family friendly. Staff and management team seems to be very nice. Would have liked to have seen the manager before I left just to compliment him about the food. The veggie rolls are amazing. Served hot. Great sauce. Would love to go back and try out something else.
