The size of these bowls are insane! I always get the chicken pho and it's always delicious with amazing prices for the portion sizing. The service is a 10/10 they are all so friendly and food came with 15 mins. They play hit songs and throwbacks too. Would recommend this place.

This place is good enough to get your Vietnamese fix on when you're in the valley. The brisket pho came in a massive bowl with sides of cilantro, lime, bean sprouts, and jalapenos. The broth was super tasty with a little tamarind tanginess to it. It was good enough without having to add any condiments to it. Oooh....and the meaty fried egg rolls were delicious too! I don't think five of them were enough. I often order to go but there's plenty of seating here too. Great for late night eats (closes at 2am) with plenty of parking.

This place is Vietnamese / Korean fusion...and I LOVE IT! I love that they are so close to where I live. I love that they have Korean flared dishes like the Jjang-pong (spicy seafood soup). I love that they have a Vietnamese version of Oxtail Soup! This has been my latest FAVORITE to order to satiet my Korean soul. I love this place because my heart feels so kindered here with my roots.

Nice resturant, good service, and friendly If you're looking for PHo I highly recommend Cali Phi Nia. Their portion is huge at least 1-2 gallons for sure and they do not go cheap on toppings.
