Very good vietnamese food and fast service.
I like their spring rolls.
Their eggrolls are the best.
And rice noodle mains are very good.
I like to take the V5 which is rice noodle with 3 eggrolls on top.
All of these for a very affordable price.response / report this review -

Great place for lunch. Extremely fast service. Large portions. I'm a fan of the rice vermicelli with shrimp and bbq pork and a side of egg rolls.

The food is delicious and the service is great. I ordered the chicken pho and it was there quickly. If you’re looking for a inexpensive, fast and delicious meal. Head here.

Food was good. One of the cheap and best Asian eats. Don't go here around the closing times. (8.30+). They push you for the order in the urge of closing.

I am not sure about all the positive reviews here, but my experience eating at this place is pure shocking mainly for two reasons. We were seated and ordered the pho and fry rice . Waiting 25 minutes and seeing dozens of other customers who came much later than us and order the same pho we did have their pho , we asked them to check upon the food. another five minutes later the food was brought on. I woundn''t have written this if the food were okay. The beef they put in pho is so bad that we find no way to chew it , the chicken they use in fry rice is hard and obviously leftover from other dishes, the dish is full of big chunk of rice sticky together. Been to so many Pho restaurant, this is worst one. Good luck you guys thinking of eating here.

In my opinion, Pho Ca Dao is one of the busiest pho places in the Mira Mesa area. Whenever I come to eat here, it is packed with people inside. They sell pho, rice combinations, sandwiches, eggrolls, spring rolls, and drinks/desserts like boba and ice coffee. The food is affordable and $10 can get you a decent meal. Out of all the pho places in San Diego (and even Orange County), I go to this one the most.
I visited here on July 20, 2017 at around 20:00 with 2 of my friends after one of them came back hungry from comic-con. He was craving for rice and this place hits the spot. Despite it being busy, parking was not hard to find. As we walked in, the host asked how many (3 of us) and we were immediately seated. Then, we were served with water and menus. I decided to get the number 1 order of the standard Large bowl of pho (I think it was $7.10). I do not know exactly what my friends ordered, but I can tell they were happy.
Our food came out in about 5 minutes. My friend ordered 6 egg rolls so we each got 2. I liked it as it was very crunchy, fresh, and tasty. The lettuce was fresh. The sauce was good. After another 5 minutes, my pho and my friend's orders came out. I liked my pho. The pho noodles were great, the meat is okay though. Nothing to complain though, but for some of us picky eater in food, the meat is going to be average. I dd not mix my pho with the bean sprouts, basil/mint or lime until I only had the broth left. It was fresh. I did not use oyster or the spicy sauce this time so I can taste the broth. The broth is good, but has a small msg taste (typical of most Pho restaurants), but it is not that strong. After eating the main food, about half of my bowl is covered in broth (also typical of most Pho restaurants). My friend's rice dish was good. My other friend's pho bowl was good except that it was a bit greasy, but his food is suppose to be that way. He enjoyed it though, but he rather have mine over his though. But overall, my friends and I liked the food.
The service was great. The person who welcomed us was patient and smiled when my friend custom ordered his rice dish with extra meatloaf and other food. The server had to repeat our order, which was appreciated of him. They were attentive with our water cups too. I think they came back 3 to 4 times to fill our water cups. Also, when my friend got his food order, he asked for some extra tomato and the person came back with it.
I just thought I also mention how clean the place is. The restrooms are nice and clean. Their waiting area is roomy and I like the layout of this restaurant.
TL;DR: One of the greatest pho and Vietnamese food at an affordable price with great service in Mira Mesa. Still will come back to eat here.response / report this review -

One of the better bun bo hue and they actually will do extra spicy correctly. This is my go to order and the only reason for coming. Although the raw beef salad is good and the fish sauce chicken is quite delicious too. Skip the curry chicken - while it's tasty, it's quite odd to have shredded chicken.Only tried this place because next door was closed for vacation so consider it a blessing.

First and foremost, the food here is good and delicious, with different variety. Usually in most Vietnamese places I go to, only have one type of spring rolls (shrimp and pork slices), but they four types here. One of which you usually only find in Orange County which was definitely a plus.
I gave the restaurant three stars, because of the staff. The staff seems to lack recognition and communication skills. Out of the four times I have visited (since every employee is different right? No), I was not served or welcomed. On one incident, My friend and I were simply "pointed" to a table even though the restaurant was empty. Then a couple who sat behind us was asked for their order prior to us, and left us neglected for a good fifteen minutes. I thought it was because of the menus might be opened and they might think weren't ready. No they were closed. The place was empty, maybe it was a language barrier and they were shy? No.
Eventually a waiter did come, but without a pad. He rested his hands on the table and asked what we wanted. He simply nodded and walked off, which he did get half the order wrong. But what we got was delicious. But nevertheless, it's not what we wanted.
Paying the bill was the worst, the owner at the register was rude and domineering. He simply said the price, gave carefree remarks, took the money and sent us on our way.
I keep coming back, because of the food. If the employees matched the quality of the food, I'll gladly change to 4-5 stars range.response / report this review
