Pho Ca Dao Vietnamese Kitchen

Five stars across the board for this place! We were having a gathering with old friends while my daughter was in town and we knew there would be 10 to 15 people there depending on who could make it. We used to always get together at Souplantation because of the variety of food choices and they had a back room we could get together in but since they're closed we had to choose someplace different. We threw around some various ideas and wanted to find a place close to one person because she has a disabled daughter and it's harder for her to get out and go places. Everybody agreed that we all love Vietnamese food and someone suggested this place. I recognized the name as I have heard it for years and years through Yelp reviews and pictures so we decided to go here. In the pictures it looked spacious and like we could push tables together which is exactly what happened. It took about an hour for everybody to congregate because some people are perpetually late but those of us who were there on time enjoyed our drinks and conversation while we waited. Everyone got something different and everyone was extremely happy with their food from the 4 year olds up to the Grammies. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable everything was immaculately clean with good quality food, etc. Personally I had the Basil Shrimp Vermicelli and it was perfect for a warm weather meal. One daughter ordered egg rolls to share and they were delicious and crispy. One got a sandwich and a couple got Pho. Several of us got drinks including my Vietnamese coffee. We had no complaints about anything. I highly recommend to anyone, including large groups. We were having such a good time I completely forgot to take photos except some we had taken at the end and the waitress was very nice to take some for us. We ended up with 13 people total.

Food was good, with large portions! Service was slow. We ordered drinks that didn’t arrive until after we paid (and had removed them from the bill already). The veggie spring rolls had very flavorful tofu with lettuce and rice noodles.

Great pho at the Mission Valley Pho Ca Dao location! We enjoyed the N2 filet mignon & Vietnamese meatballs pho and N4 brisket, flank, fatty brisket, tendon, tripe pho. Accommodating servers and the food comes out quickly. Dog friendly. Recommend!
