Literally the best VN food in Lake Forest. I’ve been trying various VN restaurants in the area and their pho/BBH has not been up to par with the flavors I was used to (my family runs a VN restaurant so I recognize which flavors are good). Pho Tam Cali hits the spot with the right seasoning, and I’ve been back twice already and I’ll likely be a frequent customer. Great pho broth, spicy pho broth is like BBH but no BBH noodles or veggies :( that’s my only wish for menu change. Banh mi’s are excellent, as is the Che Thai. Highly highly recommend.

This place adds a tip automatically to an online takeout order. You have to zero it out or else you just tipped them unknowingly. Not good business practice.

Awesome food..Awesome staff..nicest people That I have met in a long time..I'm the homeless man with the pitbull in the parking lot
My girlfriend n I stopped into eat and were very impressed! I'm from Garden Grove n have many restaurants offering pho in the area but they were definitely a step n grade above the rest I've been to. The food was excellent and seemed alot more authentic with very healthy portions also. They service was very good and the workers were extremely friendly and quick. We will definitely be back n have a new #1 Pho spot! I'd highly recommend them!!!

I’ve been coming here since they opened and raved to all my co workers about this place. Food is delicious the only problem is when I ordered take out today we didn’t receive what was described in the menu. I ordered two spicy soups and I know for a fact that they come with crispy pork belly however, they did not include that. I even doubled check the menu to make sure I didn’t order the wrong thing but it’s the only spicy soup on there. Only reason I ordered from here vs. long’s noodles was because we were craving the spicy soup base with crispy pork belly. Overall love this place but just wished they would update their menu if it has changed.

Best Pho in the area. We always get the special Pho with all meats. The rib meat is the best!

I ordered the Cali Special Pho. The broth was fine, maybe a little lighter than I prefer, but hoisin helps out with that. I would have liked to see Ngò Gai (culantro) as a garnish, but it's basically a 50/50 shot at restaurants nowadays. I was really impressed with the beef rib. It was *actually* fall off the bone, so I did not have to awkwardly gnaw on it while splashing my soup everywhere.
The restaurant itself looked pretty typical hole for a smaller pho restaurant. Service was pretty fast for dine-in for noon on a weekday. It did look like there was little bit of a line building for takeout orders.
Everything tasted very fresh.
