Pho Ca Dao & Grill

Phở Cadao is one of my favorite restaurants. Lunch and dinner service is always ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Fast service, friendly employees, beautiful restaurant. My daughter loves sitting by the giant aquarium. We eat here frequently and enjoy being regulars at both this and the Mira Mesa location.

I work close by. I try to make it hear once a week. Great Food good service. Beer is good price

Great place to get some soup on a cold day. It’s the new chicken soup

My go-​to Vietnamese for lunch outside the office. Service is usually prompt and they make it easy to dine with your kids. Sometimes there is a queue at lunchtime but I’ve never had to wait more than 10 min for a table. Thit nuong was particularly tasty today.

Great food. Had V13 was so yum & kids rice noodles with pork was great for my little one. Unfortunately my order came out when little was almost done with his. Next time I might try takeaway.

Just came back to this place again this week. It’s pretty chilly here lately so phở is a perfect treat! I love this place. I eat lunch here every week and have brought friends for dinner. They’re fast, have a great selection, and it tastes much better than most of the phở places around. I’d definitely recommend it. They even remind you to check in so you can get 10% off and they’re all so nice!

Best phở place in the area. Enjoy coming here for a quick lunch often though sometimes very busy. Parking can be a pain so try to come early!

Great Phó with great service! Their mango smoothies are sooo bomb as well! P17 is my favorite dish!

These folks always rock. They will always take care of you and deliver amazing food at a very quick pace. They sit you as soon as possible and you can tell they care about you. I’ve been here many times and never had a problem. The bathroom amenities are always clean and the ambiance is honest. I suggest the egg rolls as an appetizer, delicious to the very last bite!

Quick service every time we come here as a group, friendly waiters. the food is good, my favorite is P1.

Still the best in SD. Service is amazing and their broth is the best I have had. Love me some perfect Phở

Egg rolls were really good! I had brisket phở and it was good, broth was rich. Over all tasty!

Loved the phở here. The broth is pretty remarkable in flavor and the portion size is adequate. For phở lovers in the area this should be a place to visit at least once. Also try the spring rolls, you will definitely enjoy it.

My coworkers and I eat here about once a week. For those watching their budget, this is a good place to get an inexpensive, filling meal. Our favorites are the vegetarian vermicelli salad (which comes with seasoned tofu and crispy eggroll) and the phở.
The waiters filling water are the best in town. Jason wishes they loaned them out to other restaurants. Our cups rarely even get half empty.
Get here well before noon or there may be a wait for a table.

This place happens to be near my hotel. Clean restaurant, no problem with parking, and it was busy on Saturday evening. They have several servers, greeted us quickly as we entered the place. We got seated right away and offered the drinks while looking at the menu. The menu is clear and they do have great selection. I ordered Bun Cha Gio regular size. It was good size for me and the sauce was ok. I have had better sauce before. For me, it was not that ‘WOW!’ My bro/​sis ordered a regular Phở, and again, the taste was just ok. The place got busier and we were kind of hurried to leave the place. For friendliness… it is the average typical Vietnamese service, eat, pay, and leave… talk somewhere else.

You know, I’ve been here before and this place was pretty decent. I thought this was one of the better places to have phở. After my last meal there, I don’t think I’ll be coming back for a long time.
We walked in and were seated immediately. We were here with friends that had never eaten phở and wanted to go outside their comfort zone. When ordered eggs rolls as an appetizer, phở bowls and chicken with vermicelli noodles with chicken. Everything was going well until they forgot my food. At first I thought they were maybe still making mine. I finally asked our server of my food was coming because my friends were half done eating their food. The server said yes, in an very annoyed tone of voice. Then came back and said you didn’t order anything. Well, told him who took our order and that the other server wrote all of our orders down, so it must be on that piece of paper. We he found it, got my order in. By the time I got my food, it was pretty close to closing time. Well, about 5 minutes later, a guy comes back and says I need you to pay because we’re closing. So we paid, and I said you know, I just got my food. There was no way I was going to finish or enjoy my food. First of all, the chicken was different then the one they usually make. I asked for a water refill 3 different times, never got any. I was done with this place. Not to mention, they mess up and want to kick me out right after I get my food. Not very nice.
Just make sure they actually get your order, if not your meal will be ruined like mine.

Pretty good phở and relatively fast service. Can’t complain.

Came here for lunch on a rainy day, was really craving phở. Parking was kind of a pain since the plaza is busy.
Got a small phở #6. They came out pretty fast, service is good. The portion is ridiculously small though… I only got a piece of rare steak, a couple tendons, and some pieces flanks floating around my noodle.
The coffee is decent.
Definitely won’t be back again, Phở Hoang 2 mintes away is SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Really tasty food and really friendly staff. I always get the vegetarian egg rolls (5 stars!) and the phở. There are great options for vegetarians, too! A whole separate menu filled with options for vegetarians :)
Definitely coming back to try the other dishes!

My family and I have been coming here since it’s opened and there’s a reason why we always keep coming back. Everything is cheap and one plate fills you right up. They bring the food out pretty quickly too. They continuously fill your water cup even if it’s the slightest bit empty. If it’s less than filled to the top, they’ll fill it up. I do wish they would ask before taking your cup and filling it up for you, especially when they do it right when we’re about to leave… we’re in a drought!
The phở broths here are lighter, less salty, and less oily than other places, which is better for my parents’ high cholesterol. The meats are nice and juicy, especially their grilled steak. I usually get the noodle soup without meat, the phở with rare and well done steak, or the grilled beef banh mi. Their banh mi’s are good, and they also come with a bowl of hot soup. Sometimes when I’m feeling super hungry I also get the egg rolls, which is decent. I do remember one time when I got the egg rolls, that they we kinda soggy and flimsy, and not crunchy like they’re supposed to be. Maybe it was an off day then.
I wasn’t sure if it was just me or if it was just this time today but I noticed that they skimped on their noodles. Before, I was able to have some noodles peeking out from the broth. Now, the noodles are completely hidden under the broth and meats. I used to not be able to finish even half of the noodles from the bowl, and be able to take the leftovers home, but now I can finish the whole thing. I still get full from it, so it’s not that big of a deal, but it sucks knowing that I paid the same price for less. However, because it’s still one of the better phở places in the area, my family and I would still be coming back here.
