Pho Ca Dao

“What a cool place, with great food, and a cute robot!”

David Culbertson, Ph.D.★★★

Not a bad spot in Poway for Pho, but food was barely OK. Service a bit slow. Portions are small. Ordered an XL Pho and my hand was same size as the bowl. Amount of meat was disappointing. Pho was filled with noodles instead. Grabbed a spoon, and it was very dirty. Management does not seem to care much. Prices also are on higher side

I’m not even a fan of this restaurant chain. But since we were lazy and craving Vietnamese food, we decided to stop in. Had low expectations but surprisingly, it wasn’t bad. They used to not offer broken rice but they do now and the grilled bbq meat was flavorful. It comes in a block which is northern style. Shaken beef with garlic rice was also made with broken rice. The cubed beef was soft and had the flavor but extremely chewy. Pho filet came with meatballs. Soft and thin filet. The broth was a bit salty for me but with just a few limes, I got it to my liking. Also came with bone marrow.

Emma came to the table with an authentic welcoming smile to take our order. We were her guests & this set the tone for our entire family experience. We sampled quite a variety from the large menu & found everything fresh & surpassing our expectations. We recognize this is a team experience, even the robots, and are grateful to all for charming our day together. No need to go to San Diego for fantastic authentic Vietnamese cuisine. You are home.

I selected this restaurant at random from all the restaurants in Poway and was so happy that we went there. The atmosphere was nice and quiet and the service was great. The food was all five star. The ice water was nice and refreshing. The appetizer we got were really good. We got Vietnamese chicken wings, and shrimp spring rolls. For our main course, we all got pho. One of us got the beef pho, one of us got the shrimp pho, and the last one got a mixture of beef cuts in that pho. All I can say is you should definitely go there. You will not be disappointed.
