I go out for pho frequently with friends, and Pho Cali is excellent -- but not
primarily for pho.  It's on their menu, but I think you can do better (for pho)
at the Chesapeake Seafood House on Wilson, or Pho 75.

However... Pho Cali has some of the greatest squid dishes around, for people
who like their calumari Vietnamese style.  Really wonderful.

I was talked into the lobster once, by a waiter I'll never trust again.  It was
very expensive, and it was so heavily seasoned that the great taste of lobster
wasn't detectable, and the seasonings weren't all that good either.  Pass on
that.
