It went from a deep brown color and intensely flavored spicy, beefy broth to a light and mild flavor. I asked about it each time, thinking it was a lighter chicken broth in error. It wasn&#8217;t, diners had complained about the sodium, I was told. I returned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/pho-cali-melbourne\">Pho Cali <\/a>today and their pho broth and tom yum soup were both as intensely flavored as ever. Their prices are comparable, their stir fry, rice and noodle dishes comparable, but I go for the pho and tom yum. And for them, it has to be<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/pho-cali-melbourne\"> Pho Cali<\/a>. For anything else,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/pho-viet-west-melbourne\"> Pho Viet<\/a> is my choice because it&#8217;s good food at a fair price and I know everyone there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>UPDATE 6-8-16: Pho Viet is back to their original dark flavorful broth so they&#8217;re back to being the fave!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/user_details?userid=GwBMIWNaLTSHONEFwnCBTg\">Andrea D&#8217;s reviews on Yelp<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/pho-bolsa-vietnamese-restaurant-palm-bay\">My Yelp review for\u00a0Pho Bolsa in Palm Bay, FL\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/user_details?userid=GwBMIWNaLTSHONEFwnCBTg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/members\/Andreahugs\">Andreahug&#8217;s reviews on TripAdvisor.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/comparing-broth-at-pho-viet-and-pho-cali\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Comparing broth at Pho Viet and Pho Cali&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/comparing-broth-at-pho-viet-and-pho-cali\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/comparing-broth-at-pho-viet-and-pho-cali\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/comparing-broth-at-pho-viet-and-pho-cali\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Comparing%20broth%20at%20Pho%20Viet%20and%20Pho%20Cali&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/comparing-broth-at-pho-viet-and-pho-cali\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just posted reviews on Yelp for Pho Viet and Pho Cali. \u00a0I was bummed \u00a0Pho Viet\u00a0changed their broth recipe. \u00a0it&#8217;s still good, it&#8217;s just no longer so intense\u00a0and delicious that I crave it. \u00a0I gave both restaurants 4 stars.
