Exceptionally friendly team with a variety of different Vietnamese dishes you wouldn’t come across as often. The staff were thoughtful and helpful, portions were ridiculously generous which made the affordable value even better - not to mention establishment is very organized and clean. I ordered something that wasn’t quite BBH but the broth had depth for the base of pho which I enjoyed as I couldn’t choose between the two. The grilled rice dishes are deliciously seasoned.

I absolutely love this restaurant! They have my favorite pho and beef stew and veggie soup. The ingredients are always fresh and the soup is hot and ready to eat right away. I will always eat here! I order to go and my food is still hot and ready. The Thai Tea is sweet and delicious as well. This place was super helpful when I was sick and wanted soup, very comforting.

Wow another quality authentic 💎! Great food, great price & great service. As a man in my mid 40s working labor in the hot sun is very demanding on my body, so I fight heat with heat. Pho is not only food but its medicine for mind, body & soul. Càm oʻn

If you are in National City and craving for a delicious pho, try Pho Mai Cali's oxtail or beef ribs pho. Their shrimp noodles and grilled salmon are tasty, too. They have good people as well.

I came to Mai Cali restaurant on Sweetwater Road, ordering the porkchop with rice Its incredibly amazing by how it was fully presented. It was not only well matched but only rich and seasoned. Thats my right choice in terms of rice Additionally, Jasmine was my waitress who is accommodating, willing to assist me when it comes to choice. I like Jasmine a lot because of her inner sweetness, personality as well as thoughtfulness. I do highly recommend asking Jasmine for help
