Score 84/100 · Order: Filet mignon pho, garlic noodles · $14–20
Pho Cow Cali plays to a younger crowd with filet mignon add-ons and a brighter dining room. The broth is solid rather than remarkable, but the beef quality is above average and the sides genuinely deliver.
Local tip: The garlic noodles are worth adding even if you came only for the soup.
