Fantastic pho, amazing service, beautiful and clean restaurant with tons of amenities. Also the staff are so friendly. I feel like I'm with family when I'm here. Cant recommend pho da dao enough.

I made an online order ordered a kids brisket pho as well as a kids lemonade, I was given a kids chicken pho and my husband picked up and didn't realized a lemonade came in the order. We attempted to call to fix the issue & our call was never picked up. Besides the wrong order the container was broken and all the broth dripped out to the bag.

I'm going to help bump up the reviews of this place. Pho Ca Dao & Grill is a chain within San Diego and while it's not mind blowing food, it's solid, relatively cheap, and food comes quick. I'm not sure if I've just been able to avoid crowds or if they're just not that busy as an establishment, but there was never a wait for seating and again, food doesn't take long to come. The decor is nice, the staff comes and takes your order but won't constantly hover over you while you eat. It's a solid spot and I've been here at least 3 times now.

Went there for a dinner with my good friend. Ok, the food is good. But service... The waiter didn't speak English. He can't understand most of what we've said. I have an accent, but my friend she is native. He was confirming the order by showing the menu and pointing out the meals. Finally, he read my friend's order and then touched my shoulder with his finger! Only to read mine. The other waiter, who switched him, looked like homeless guy who stopped for a glass of water. He was wearing outwear. They forgot to bring me my beer and haven't noticed that the music stopped and there was complete silence in the dining area for at least 10 minutes. When we were finishing our dinner and still talking they started to clear the table, which is absolutely unacceptable. Finally, when we left $5 tips, which is 8% instead of 0 that they deserved, the coward waiter took advantage of my girlfriend being alone (I was in a restroom at that time) and insulted her with counting tips and pretending that she is stingy. He was acting like such a small amount of tips is unacceptable. This place is screwed, beware.

Really really bad service. Continuously ignoring us, taking a long time to take order and bring out drinks. Then food took a long time to arrive, not to mention the servers were really rude. And much to our disappointment, the food was horrible and tasteless. The broth was basically just water and MSG. We would never go there again and I suggest you yo somewhere else. No wonder there are no Asians or Vietnamese eating there!

Food was not hot enough and I decided to leave. I waited too long for a menu and for my order to be taken.
Went here for an early dinner with some friends. The staff are super friendly and they use a robot to help deliver the food (which delighted the young kid in our group, and also helps limit spilling of soup broth!). I had the vermicelli salad with shrimp and veggie egg roll. I was hoping for more greens in my salad (the lettuce was a little lacking in quantity and quality), and for a better dressing, and there were only a few small shrimp but those veggie eggrolls were DELICIOUS. Would go back for the eggrolls any time.I don't live in SD but this place is near my friend's house so wouldn't be surprised if we return and will happily update my review with more updates!

Be careful in ordering from DoorDash. I ordered a pho and was only delivered broth, meat and noodles. No condiments whatsoever. No bean sprouts, no mint, nothing. The soup was also cold.

The dine in experience isn’t that great. Started ordering out from them and my soup came completely spilled in the bag. My order this evening I ordered a large pho and I received maybe 3 pieces of steak and they never gave me my coffee. Pho Cow Cali in MM is the best spot, better food, way better service!

I think this chain is an institution in these parts of San Diego. Its good dependable pho. Is it wow? Well in general for me pho is a comfort food - im usually not looking for some fusion or some wow factor. I love that they actually have a menu item to get just the broth - for rainy days or days when im down with a cold its the perfect meal. I have tried the chicken pho and some of the beef ones. All are solid good. Their egg rolls are also delicious.
