Service at this location is hit or miss. Sometimes you get great service, and other times they forget to check on you until they bring the check. The restaurant is always clean and has both indoor and outdoor seating. There’s always plenty of parking, and their menu is pretty extensive. If we go back, I wouldn’t order the pho again, but the vermicelli noodle bowls have always been delicious.

OK… I was just turned onto this place about a month ago and have already been three times! This place is full of friendly people and the food is insanely delicious! Let’s talk about those chicken spring rolls for a minute! They are off the hook! The chicken is so good it’s not dry. It’s grilled almost like a smoky flavored and the peanut sauce is to die for!!! I’ve had them three times! Today was the first time that I ventured out and ordered something different. I ordered sweet-and-sour chicken with rice and vegetable vegetables, tempura, shrimp, and my daughter’s ordered Phoa (I think that’s how you spell it). None of us are ever disappointed ever. This is our new spot when we are in the area and want Vietnamese food. I shared a little video just to show you how good our food looked.

This place is a gem. I think they did renovations because they do not look the same and they open the other side where the bathrooms are. They are nice people and I know they are busy but if they can check a little more often if we need anything else because we keep putting our hands up to have their attention. So on the service 3 stars. Now the food! The food it was delish. I took pictures and you’ll see what we got. My husband and I share the food. If you need soup I recommend the beef stew!!! Do I recommend this place? For the food? Yes! Service they need to work on it a little more.

Delicious food and large servings. The soup was very flavorful and the charbroiled meat over rice has many variations. Casual dining experience with large wooden tables and friendly service. They have a contest called the Pho King challenge where a huge bowl consisting of 2 lbs meat and 2 lbs noodles has to be finished within 60 minutes (and if you do, it’s free). The wall is full of photos of patrons who were able to successfully complete the Pho King challenge. Come early since the place tends to get full, especially on weekends

Time and time again every time I come to this restaurant I am always 100% satisfied, not only is the food extremely well priced it is also extremely good and delicious and well portioned for what you get. From the pho to the chow mein everything I have tried from this restaurant so far has been really good. The only complaint id ever have for this establishment is that the service can at times be a little iffy but other than that this place deserves a 5 star. If you go here you cannot go wrong with the pho honestly a place you must try if youre visiting sacramento.
