"When San Diego gets chilly (read: the weather dips below 70), pho is always the answer. Full stop. One of several Vietnamese restaurants that line Little Saigon, Phở Ca Dao Restaurant (not to be confused with the chain of that same name) excels in classic dishes like its namesake pho, which it serves with brisket, tripe, tendon, oxtail, meatballs, and many combinations thereof all topped with fresh basil leaves, bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime. Rice noodles, broken rice, a broad kids menu and a mix of rolls (fresh and fried) round out the offerings, where portions tend to be on the bigger side." - Roxana Popescu
