Our Story
How Fresh Vietnamese Food and Family Traditions Came Together in Lake Forest.
How Pho Tám Cali Began
Pho Tám Cali started with a simple idea—serve fresh Vietnamese food made the right way. At 24531 Trabuco Rd I in Lake Forest, the focus is on meals that honor tradition. The recipes come from real kitchen experience, not shortcuts. Each bowl of pho, banh mi, and rice plate is prepared with care using fresh ingredients and homemade sauces. It's not just a meal—it’s a part of Vietnamese culture shared daily.
What Makes the Food Special 🍜
Every sauce is made from scratch using house recipes. Egg rolls are rolled by hand, and proteins are marinated with original blends full of flavor. No frozen shortcuts here—just fresh prep every day. The menu offers pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, banh mi, and bubble tea. Vegan options, a kids’ menu, and happy hour deals make it easy for everyone to find something they enjoy, no matter the time or mood.
