" We had a family lunch at Pho on California last week. I tried the house special pho and was pleasantly surprised by how rich the broth was. It was stuffed with all the right toppings. The service was friendly but a bit slow, possibly due to the weekend rush. Still, I would recommend for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pho on California was a mixed bag. The food was pretty good but not exceptional. I had the rare beef pho and the flavor was solid but it could use more depth in the broth. The service was off; our server seemed rushed and missed a few orders. I feel it has potential but needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional experience! The pho was to die for, made with authentic spices, and so aromatic! The service was so attentive without being overbearing, and I truly felt valued as a customer. Everything we ordered was piping hot and beautifully prepared. My new favorite pho spot in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Pho on California on a Saturday for lunch. We were very impressed! The place had a bustling vibe, and the pho was hands-down some of the best we've experienced in the area. The broth was flavorful and warm, and the portions were generous enough to fill us all. We will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent meal here but it wasn't extraordinary. The pho was okay, but I've tasted better at other spots. The service was friendly but slow, and the place seemed rather cramped during peak hours. If you're looking for a quick bite of pho, maybe consider other options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho on California is a decent restaurant, but I expected more. The pho was good but lacked the authentic taste I associate with Vietnamese cuisine. The service was a bit slow, but the prices are reasonable. Overall, I'd say it's an okay spot if you're in a pinch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho on California is a beautiful little spot. I came here hoping for authentic flavors, and they did not disappoint! The lemongrass chicken I ordered was fragrant and light. I also thoroughly enjoyed a bowl of pho with a robust broth. Cleanliness in the restaurant was top-tier as well. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
