Vietnamese
A Mission Valley Vietnamese spot Roger rated 4 stars for good pho in a part of San Diego not particularly known for it.
SD Foodie could not confirm Pho Cali's current status or exact address via available sources. San Diego has several similarly named Vietnamese restaurants (including "Pho Viet Cali" in Mira Mesa), which made it difficult to isolate a single confirmed Mission Valley listing. Status marked unknown rather than guessed; check before you go.

Source-backed notes
“Pho in Mission Valley, good stuff!”
Roger rated this Mission Valley Vietnamese spot 4 stars, happy to find good pho in a part of San Diego not usually associated with it, in this unpublished Yelp draft.
Stay in the neighborhood

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.

Roger rated this Mission Valley Tender Greens 4 stars, noting it's bigger but also much more crowded than the other Tender Greens locations he's been to.

The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.
