Unfortunately, this is my last visit. This is my 3-4th visit. Every time has been met with terrible service from the man with the Yankees hat. He yells at the staff, bangs on the bell and is flat rude. With tables open, people waited for 15 minutes only to walk out. Staff was oblivious. It is sad because the food is good. Will take my business to Pho Saigon.
All of the menu items we have ever had here are great! Now if the service was that good it would be five stars. Last three visits here have had new servers every time and little attention to detail. We have been seated many times and waited before anyone comes over. When someone sits down come over first and ask if they might like a drink. Stop back by the table and see if the food is good. Give some basic customer service.
Such a nice indoor decor, easy menu layout, great amount of flavourful food for the price and. Robotic food delivery to your table. Best of all and most importantly great service and very friendly staff. Very happy we found this place and decided to give it a try.
Good food and friendly service. Very clean and inviting restaurant.
Holy poop! That was a bowl of short rib and raw steak pho! Extremely filling, and the short ribs were incredibly tender and juicy! Well done guys!
Someone put a lot of effort into the decorations and it was sparkling clean. Huge patio, lots of TVs, cute robot busboys, rice wine cocktails. We ordered veggie fresh rolls, veg pho, fried rice, and crispy tofu. The food tasted fresh and healthy, but a bit under seasoned for our taste. Waitress was very nice.
Not sure if the other Pho Ca Dao locations have upped their menu, but this Escondido branch has some different regional specialties and unique offerings that we'll have to come back to try! We had the shortrib pho and Oxtail pho, which both also had rare steak included too. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the broth was oily, flavorful and comforting.
The food was great. However the wait was more than 30 minutes on a Saturday at 2pm and staff never acknowledged us until it was our turn next to be seated . Seating was in booths only even though there were tables available.
This place was much better than I expected than other “Pho Cadao”. The menu is pretty various with many special food of Vietnam. Its impressive . Food quality is pretty good also.
We ordered to go on Friday, Jan 7. I found the place clean, menu looked good, the robot server quite interesting and novel. We ordered Pho, spring rolls and chicken wings and Thai Tea. All were good except the chicken wings, which they advertise as 'salt and pepper'. It wasn't. Sorry, but nothing beats Royal Mandarin when it comes to salt and pepper chicken wings. Anyway, i found the host rude, unfriendly and dismissive. When our order came out he brought it over hurriedly and knocked over my Thai tea which splashed on me. He brought a rag to wipe up the spill and tossed napkins at me to clean myself up. NO APOLOGIES! I had even given a tip with the bill!! This place gets 2 stars for service. Recommend you find another place to go to, like Pho Saigon. Their staff is super friendly and food is just as good.
