Pho Cali

Went on a friend’s recommendation today and we were not disappointed. Let our waiter know that it was our first visit and he was very helpful. Can’t imagine how big the large noodle bowl is, the small was too big to finish… leftovers for tomorrow!

I really really really wanted to like this place as it has been a childhood favorite of mine when it was located in Ventnor. Although it is the same owners (or so I was told), the taste is not the same or flavorful as I remember, yet the prices have sky-​rocketed. I’ve been back on few occasions due to convenience of location, but unfortunately I still prefer the one in the Asian Supermarket. I have tried the phở, cha gio vermicelli, and rainbow ice drink. Maybe I’ll give it another go and try the broken rice dishes. maybe.

After all the great reviews we decided to try this place. It has an exciting atmosphere and smells delicious. Bundle up because it is drafty. Staff was nice nothing extraordinary.
Both my parents got the phở (seafood and tofu) and I got the vermicelli with mixed meat (v12). While the phở was flavorful there wasn’t much seafood. My dad felt like it wasn’t quite worth the price. My mom enjoyed the meal.
I was blown away by my meal. The meat was charbroiled and flavorful. There was an ample amount of pork beef shrimp and fried egg roles. I really enjoyed all of the fresh vegetables as well. You have to get v12 if you like meat. I added the sriracha and chili sauces which elevated the dish further.

Service was good. The waitresses were attentive. We had the #11 phở, shrimp and beef spring roll, and the pork chop. All in all the food was good… one of the good phở’s I’ve tasted… the broth was so good we finished the bowl! Reasonably priced as the servings were enough. The ambiance was casual. We were surprised it wasn’t that packed on a Saturday night. The food was delish all in all. The taro milkshake was also good… I got the one with shaved ice. The boba pearls were somewhat chewy though.

Nice clean place, staffs are very friendly & welcoming. I’ve ordered a shrimp needle soup & egg rolls it’s good. It’s a bit pricey compare to their old location in atlantic city.

We love the place and never had a issue foods always fresh and hot and my husband and I will continue to come back were very pleased and they picked a great location to be they’ll do great !!!

Decent. It’s a nice clean place. The portions are pretty large. We ordered the summer rolls and the brown peanut butter sauce wasn’t that great.

Best phở place in the area, I’ve tried phở in California/​hawaii/​Singapore and this place is legit for east coast, huge portion so it’s a good deal. We ordered the phở with rare beef and brisket. We see even taking back the soup, I hope this place stays in business. Will come back when o have phở cravings :)

For those who are unaware, but I believe this is the same Phở Cali owners that were previously located in Ventnor by the shore. Same food and same great taste from what I remember going there for years. Same quick service as most Vietnamese restaurants.
The phở broth was very good. I always ask for the steak flank «tai» on the side, and I love that they gave a large portion of the meat and sliced thin. Their charbroiled pork chops (com thit nuong and com suon) have much flavoring to their marinate. Their fried spring rolls (cha gio) uses the thin wrapping and not too fried, which was perfect. The BBQ pork rolls (cuon thit nuong) was also very good as well, a good way to eat bun thit nuong in a cleaner way.
I’d say great Vietnamese food for authenticity and it was a great move, so I don’t have to drive all the way into Ventnor for Vietnamese food!

Service is ok but I absolutely love the bun bo hue. It’s been years since I had bun bo hue in Atlantic city (their previous location). Years later, it still taste the same just like how I remembered it.

Attention people… eat here for if you are looking for some awesome phó and don’t want to travel to Philly for it. This is by far one of the best in the area as the broth is savory and delicious. Their summer rolls are also just as delicious. I found this place to have speedy service with freshly prepared items. By far a vietnamese gem phó sure!

I’m a regular at several Vietnamese places in NYC, I ordered the phó with lean pork and shrimp @ Phó Calli. It was really good, probably the best bowl of phó I’ve ever had!

It’s hard to go wrong with phở. The portions are large and filling, and the service is friendly!

Had the pork with broken rice, the pork was paper thin no much meat there and you can’t put the tip on the credit card, tips have to be in cash. What happens when you have no cash?

3^rd time here no complaints! Best Phò in area ! Small dining area not great with big parties! Good authentic Vietnamese food
Takes credit card but cash only for tip!

Ordered dinner for work from here tonight. Been on my list to try since it’s around the corner from my house. Which made me happy because I can survive off of phở. Although today I didn’t order Phở. This place is located by Wendy’s and Sack O’s. Where Yogo used to be. I ordered a dish I order from many Vietnamese places. Lemongrass chicken. I placed my order by phone for pick up. Took forever to answer and when someone answered they asked me to repeat my order 3x and then attempted to rush me off the phone. Very hard to understand because of their heavy accent. No price and no estimated time for me to pick it up. I estimate about 10 mins. I get there and the restaurant is empty so not sure what was the issue with the phone. Maybe they were busy 10 mins ago? Idk. I got my food. $ 10.17 was the total.
The chicken was meh. Nothing spectacular. It was loaded with onions and black pepper which killed any lemongrass flavor there was. I actually prefer my lemongrass chicken to be very strong in lemongrass flavor. It was 70% onions and 30% chicken. The rice noodles… wasn’t much. It was 70% bean sprouts and lettuce and 30% rice noodles. Came with the usual cucumber and carrots. Fish sauce & chili paste. Wasn’t too crazy about it because I don’t feel as though it was worth the $ 10.17 I paid. I know not to get the lemon grass. I’ll give them another try in a few weeks to try out their Phở.

This place is brand new in this location and almost everyone who came in tonight knew someone who worked there or had eaten there before. Tonight we both tried a broken rice dish, sautéed beef cubes and sautéed spicy squid. I wish it was tastier and a larger portion for $ 12. The rice portion was massive and out of proportion to the protein with only a small amount of gravy for both dishes. The rice was also not broken and very similar to rice in chinese restaurants. Each dish came with some salad on the side.
Everyone was ordering and enjoying giant steaming bowls of Phở and the Phở menu choices were very large with many supplemental toppings which looked interesting and worth investigating. We’ll return again to try the Phở.
The restaurant is clean, bright and airy and service was polite and efficient.

New phở shop in the 609.
Clean, delicious, friendly, tasty are adjectives that describe the shop.
I got my usual go to app. Summer rolls– Goi con.
Sauce was a little thin for my taste but Rich in flavor.
The entrée was amazing. A big bowl of vermicelli noodle, grilled pork chop, grilled shrimp, lettuce, bean sproat and an assortment of other tasty bits.
Can’t go wrong here. You’ll be happy

New favorite phở restaurant in South Jersey — mostly because I can walk there from where I live… lol. Aside from that, the food is consistent quality and it’s the authentic Viet that I grew up eating.

Phở Cali is located right by the Shop Rite shopping center (Yogo Factory and Wendy’s)
The restaurant is a small-​decent size dining area. Don’t expect to have a party of 10 to enjoy such a small place. I’d say 4 – 6 would be fine to accommodate.
Our waiter was nice & helpful. My boyfriend and I ordered the Summer rolls (aka not fried– see through egg roll wraps lol), Phở Tai (pronounced: «Fa tie»; rare beef and noodle soup w/​several condiments on the side such as lime, bean sprouts, mint, basil, hoisin sauce, etc.) and I had the Vietnamese pork with Vermicelli (I think it was order number/​letter V3 on the menu). We tried each other’s dishes and I have to say they were delicious!!! ** the picture speaks for itself haha. You can definitely tell the difference if you compared it with Phở Life and the Asian Market one. I’d have to say it definitely beats Phở Life.
The prices here might be a little more expensive than others but I believe it was actually worth it. The service was fast. Still fairly new, so I’d like to come back again for a Bahn Mi test! Or try something different. Lol other than that, it was an overall 4 stars for me from start to finish. Another Vietnamese place in EHT area! Delicious! Can’t wait to see what else they have to offer. Enjoy! Can’t go wrong eating here.
