"The portions were large and the tofu was seasoned very well not bland and tasteless like my ex's was. Then again my ex cheated on me with a married person so of course they don't know how to cook tofu. This place gives large portions for the price and is great for lunch or takeout. The reason why I am giving it four stars instead of five is because the food took longer than expected and the interior was not the best."
"January 14, 2025: I ordered Seafood Chow Mein, Duck Pho, and hot tea. The Seafood Chow Mein totally rocked--it was so hot, the seafood was tender, and fresh while Duck Pho's broth warmed my cold--the duck was so tender and juicy, the Pho jettisoned me into the ionosphere! Yup~I must scream at the top of my lungs while standing on an apple box proclaiming, "THE ENTIRE ORDER WAS THAT DELICIOUS, INDEED!!!!"Anyway . . . Like Ahnold Scwharzenegger promises, "Ahll beeee baaaaack!""

"We go to the Saigon Alley by our house Natomas area ! Came here the food is just as good .Ambiance is great !Service was on point Will be back anytime in the downtown area"
"The hostess sat us really fast. The restaurant was very well decorated. The floors were really slippery. The waitress we had, was a little rude. As soon as we sat down, she asked what we wanted. She didn't give us any time to even look at the menu. We politely asked her to come back. She never greeted us or even smiled. We saw her do this to a number of tables. The receipt said her name was Kim. We ordered Pho and Spring rolls. The food was great. My friend ordered food to-go, we had to wait an additional 35-40 minutes for that and our check. We asked the waitress for our check and asked if the to-go order was ready. We saw her grab it and noticed it was just sitting on the counter. I would've gave this place more stars, but the waitress was horrible."
"Fast service and plenty of seating space make Quán Nem Ninh Hòa a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. There are tons of food options to choose from. Banh Beo was very sticky and not smooth like what I'm used to. The nem nuong was delicious. Would come back to try the other dishes."
"Best pho in Sacramento. We eat there regularly I am so surprised they are not more busy. The broth is out of this world and their service is super friendly and sweet."
"Bun lemongrass stir fry (chicken)My meal was amazing! This is a yummy plate for sure it's a cold salad I got the chicken option but you can also get shrimp for an additional charge. I will add that the reason I gave it a 4 stars is my husbands pho lacked flavor, the broth was not very special to us. Stick with the cold salads and rolls/spring rolls. :)"
"I ordered a pad thai. They were able to accommodate my requests for no peanuts due to allergies which was nice. The restaurant is calm and relaxing inside. I will go again!"
"Great choice for pho Plenty of seating Friendly and attentive staff $13 or so for the small #1(huge portions)Generous portion and tasty brothTried the Thai tea (added boba) great flavor but the boba was a little firm"
"I really like this place. They have delicious sauce and Banh cuon with a variety of stuffing in case you can't have pork. Their chilli is actually spicy too . This area is really good for its Vietnamese food, but Tay Ho offers yellow noodle, and other soup noodle options that make it a choice place to sit down and eat. The service isn't horrible, but a lack in communication for sure."
"Come for the cool name but stay for the great food!There are plenty of Pho restaurants in the area but Pho Momma is becoming my go to spot. Great, friendly service and nice traditional decor. It's a pretty small restaurant, so they get busy really quick.I started off with an small order of the Pork Egg Rolls and went with the large Chicken Pho. It hits the spot on a cool winter day."

Me taking out the wrapped banh mi from the takeout bag and thinking "what the--this has a lot of weight to it" lol.One of the heftiest banh mi that I've had lol it's *loaded* with a bunch of fixings!! Pickled veggies galore (though as a nitpick the veggies were a bit on the soggy side) and definitely no skimping on the meat either. I had the pork option; not char siu style as it's primarily straightforward sweet-centric. Kinda reminded me more of Hawaiian-style pork actually. Still mighty tasty though and tender.Baguette test: passes with flying colors. Not stale. Crispy but not roof-of-mouth-destroying crunchy.Vietnamese coffee is nothing to write home about though. Too much leaning on sweetener and it isn't remarkably strong either.Overall I'd say this is for sure one of the better banh mi spots that I've visited in the Sac area. 4-ish stars rounded up.Parking: not the greatest in the area at least on a weekday afternoon. I was lucky to find 2-hour parking on the street.

Located in a small plaza is Pho ABC. The exterior has a beautiful brightly lit sign that can't be missed. The restaurant is a a good size and capable to seat big groups along with small groups/solo diners. There were 6 of us at my table on a Sunday evening and they were getting kind of busy but the staff managed just fine and we got our food pretty fast. We tried the:- pork and shrimp spring rolls and they were good. I'd give it an 8/10. The peanut sauce that comes with it, 7/10. - #52 with charbroiled pork is the vermicelli noodle and veggie dish with grilled shrimp an egg rolls. 9/10- #14 chicken noodle pho. 9/10 All the food was good and I personally didn't feel sluggish after eating here like most places would usually have me feeling. Service was great as well. The staff constantly came to check on us. Overall was a great experience dining here and I would recommend and come back.

Delicious per usual! Saigon Alley is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants throughout the city. I can visit Lst the midtown location, Laguna Blvd Elk Grove location, or the Truxel Natomas locations; and be good at all three. The service today was good. But, the food was delicious! Hats off to the chef that worked in Midtown, L street today around 5pm. 02/05/2025! The Saigon chicken wings were fried to perfection! It was my first time trying the Taro Fries and they were delicious! I loved the extra $1 dipping sauce it was worth every bite! Cool, chill vibe. Really great music and a midweek happy hour environment!

I heard great reviews about this restaurant, and it did not disappoint! It was my first time trying pho, so I did not know what to expect. The portions were good, and I liked the amount of protein in them. I wish I tried one of their boba options, but I was worried about getting too full from the spring rolls and a drink before my entree. The only thing I was not a huge fan of was that some of the meat was chewy and hard to swallow without almost choking. The food did come out very quickly, and I liked the Christmas decorations. I have heard it gets swamped, so I recommend going earlier to beat the crowd. I want to try a couple more pho places before returning here to compare!

Really excited for this place as their menu seemed to have a lot of items that's not typically seen on menus and are more homeland dishes. Ended up disappointed. The banh beo was good. Got the bun cha ca which was eh. Bf got the lemongrass chicken which was also eh. Service wasn't good. Don't greet you when you walk in. Pretty busy for lunch though.

First time go-er! And did not disappoint. I'm still new to Vietnamese food but I have the plates pictured. Shrimp plate was really good and also got a soup dish. Serving portions are good as well, enough for 2-3 people. Price wasn't bad with the amount of food they give you. Inside looked busy, which is always a good thing. Definitely coming back.

We stop by when we get back into town on Sundays. Tired. Hungry. Want to go home. The gentleman who owns and runs this place is very friendly, cooperative and the food comes out pretty quickly. We're usually sitting outside in the car with our dog. If he's not busy he'll come out with the food. Sometimes I don't know exactly what I want. I'll describe what I'm hankering for and he suggests something or alter a dish to fit. Two of his best suggestions was the bah mi sandwich. I wanted double the filling and said I'd pay for the extra. He made it and it's great! Next dish I love is an eggplant dish. I'm not a huge tofu fan and he suggested all eggplant. YES! One of my favorite dishes. We haven't eaten in I don't think. We usually get everything to go. It has lots of indoor seating. No outdoor seating.

"This is my second time eating their pho but the first time I had it delivered so I didn't experience the restaurant then. This time I called in my order for takeout and it was ready quickly! When I walked in the restaurant the staff smiled warmly at me and were friendly and welcoming. I ordered the rare beef and flank steak pho and it was fresh and delicious! A perfect dish for a cold rainy day. I appreciate how well they packaged everything separately so I was able to put it together myself when I got home and it was still fresh. I recommend Pho Hang and will be back."
"Been coming here regularly. Located on the corner of a strip mall at the corner of W Wl Camino and Truxel. There is no table service...order at the counter and they will deliver to you. The service is pretty quick. For seating, there are 8 4-tops and 2 long high tops along the west side windowsToday I had the Beef pho (M1). Broth is tasty and ready to add your veggies and hoisin sauce and/or sriracha sauce. A side note, the Bahn Mi sandwich Saigon Special (B1) is also a favorite of mine. For the price & quality of their food...definitely a 5-star."
"Excellent and sweet service from owners, so filling and tasty pho broth (extra large) and love the comtam dishes. Will be back with the rest of my fam and friends!"
"The charbroiled pork spring rolls give me life here. Honestly every dish we've tried has been a hit. So happy to see this place stay in business. We've been coming here for years and will keep coming! The pho is very good also."
"Came here on a Sunday for lunch and the place was packed but we luckily, got seated right away. Service was great and the staff were really friendly! The staff were especially nice to my 4 year old daughter. The food was so flavorful and definitely felt like comfort food. The portions are generous and the pho bowls came with a lot of meat. My daughter had the chicken and rice kid's plate which was also very generous and tasty!"
"I could probably eat here everyday and be very happy- I always order their chicken pho with bok choy, and I LOVE that they add grilled onions to this one! It adds such a smokey and delicious flavor that I don't find anywhere else. If you like chicken pho, I definitely recommend checking this out"
"I've tasted at least three things on the menu and they are consistently prepared, presented and taste delicious! A favorite place to pick up lunch! I get their lemongrass chicken, tamarind wings, or the mango and shrimp salad. Incredible! Would recommend a visit to this gem!"
"The vegan opinions are "crispy tofu and veggie" urban rolls or "crispy tofu and veggie" banh mi or "crispy tofu and veggie" salad or vegan egg rolls. Chill ambiance. It's weird that they don't want you to enter through the most convenient door. It's order at the counter."
"I stopped in to order take-out for lunch after some meetings in Elk Grove. I easily found parking in the large lot in the shopping plaza and made my way inside.I walked up to the front and was greeted immediately. The menu has many pho options and then some drink options. I opted for the #13 Saigon Pho ($16.50) and I opted to get the fresh noodles (+$1.50) and waited while it was prepared. It didn't take long before I was being handed a well packed bag of food and I made my way home to enjoy it.Everything was packed really well. The container of broth was full, where I've had many to-go order experiences from other places that don't fill the broth all the way. The bean sprouts, thai basil and limes were packed together in a bag, the noodles, pickled jalepenos and meat were also packed together nicely. On top of this they included hoisin, red pepper oil, and sriracha. The portion was very generous and I put everything in a large metal mixing bowl after I reheated the broth. The broth itself was a bit salty for my taste, but with the inclusion of hoisin and sambal (from home) I was able to make it perfect for my tastes. I like mine a bit sweet and spicy.Typically pho is better at the restaurant, and their restaurant has plenty of space. I loved the mural on the wall and when I was there I saw a large table where a group had just finished eating. So, it's great for groups or for a quick meal on your own or with a friend. I would definitely consider stopping by again soon."
"Their broth is the best in town! Perfect for a rainy day. Whenever I'm feeling sick, I order a bowl of pho and it's ready within 15 minutes. The inside is quiet and cozy. The owner is friendly. Love this place!"
"This place hit the spot! The broth was solid and we even ordered the fries and they are a hit too. We came in with 25 people leaving Tahoe on Sunday morning, we were all able to get seated the waitresses were so nice to us and we got all our food promptly . It was exactly what we needed. Our coffee drinks came a little late and they said it was on the house since it took extra time. It was such a nice gesture that we weren't expecting since we were such a large group. Overall great food, amazing service and were super accommodating !!"
"02/25/2025: More photos added due to whatever restrictions in place . . . The APP was incessantly refusing uploading my photos!!!!"
"Craving Vietnamese food, we recently revisited Ha Noi Pho in Elk Grove and were delighted with our experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by friendly staff. Our server was particularly attentive and his humorous personality added a nice touch.The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and inviting, with ample seating and televisions airing sporting events. The menu was incredibly extensive, showcasing a diverse selection of dishes, from classic Vietnamese options like Phở and Bahn Mi to Chinese favorites and refreshing Boba teas.We started with an appetizer of Grilled Pork Spring Rolls, which were flavorful and perfectly complemented by the delicious peanut sauce. For our main courses, we indulged in the large Bun Reiu (a flavorful tomato-based soup, a rarity we couldn't resist), the G8 Grilled Meat with Rice (a generous platter featuring shredded pork, grilled pork, shrimp paste, egg roll, pork sausage ball, and steam egg patty), and the Peking Spare Ribs (sweet and tangy).The highlight for me was the Bird Nest House Special Combo Chow Mein. This dish was a symphony of flavors, combining roasted pork, chicken, squid, and an array of colorful vegetables with crispy noodles for a delightful textural contrast. To finish, I enjoyed a refreshing and not-too-sweet Boba Milk Tea.Overall, our dining experience at Ha Noi Pho was exceptional. The delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere made it a truly memorable evening. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon."
"Service was slow. We sat at our table a good 20 minutes before they took our order. They took orders at tables that arrived after us. We had to flag a waiter down to say we were ready. Good size restaurant with plenty of seating. There was no line, but it still took them a while to seat us. Food was standard, nothing screamed over the top for me. I ordered the Vermicelli will grilled pork and eggroll, and I also ordered Shrimp spring rolls. Grilled pork was a little dry."
"Hole in the wall Vietnamese spot serving up some A1 pho and Banh mi sandwiches! I particularly liked the egg rolls. The crunch on them was perfect. Meaty filling and soft cabbage. They were perfect. The bread of the banh mi was soft. The ingredients inside were fresh. The grilled chicken was really good. It's a popular spot as people got orders to go and some sat down to eat as I did. It's not too big inside but they cater to everyone very well. Service here was nice. The lady working the counter was on top of things."
"We're stopping by today, lived around this neighborhood for 5 years but never visited them, in fact we thought it just opened last year, once we asked the staff, he said it's been here for 4 years!!! Wow the foods were good, pho raw beefsteak and pho chicken were delicious. We also enjoyed an egg roll , the service was great. Absolutely we will go back for more."
"I can't believe my 100th review is for a Door Dash order! My wife works from home and takes her lunch break at 10:30 AM, so I thought I'd surprise her with some delicious Vietnamese Pho. Most places don't open until 11:00, but I found Pho Hot in Rocklin, which opens at 10:00 AM.Right at 10:00 AM, I ordered the Hủ Tiếu Mì Hải Sản (Rice or Egg Noodle with Seafood). Amazingly, it arrived at 10:29 AM--just 30 minutes from order to door!I quickly grabbed two bowls and put together the Pho for both of us. The portions were generous and filled with fresh ingredients: a container of broth, bok choy, shrimp, squid, one scallop, jalapenos, bean sprouts, cilantro, and a packet of Sriracha and hoisin sauce (with a side of onion seasoning). The Pho was really good, though we could have done without the squid--neither of us really liked it. But everything else was very flavorful.We usually have some type of Asian Vietnamese soup--also known as Pho--once a week, but with this kind of service and efficiency from Pho Hot and Door Dash, we'll definitely be ordering again soon. If you're looking for something quick and tasty, I highly recommend Pho Hot!"
"Met my girlfriends for lunch and everything was delicious. We met at noon and by the time we left the place was packed and there was a line out the door. Plenty of room for lots of tables, clean, and comfortable."
"The ambience was very nice and quiet. The service was very good and the food came out very fast. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasted very authentic and traditional! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some good Vietnamese pho in the area."
"We have new house soup call " Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang" this soup can eat dried and soup on the side"
"A decent spot for Vietnamese cuisine! My fiance and I were in the area and decided to check this place out due to the recommendations for the "Bun Bo Hue". Upon walking in, we were amazed by the space and decor. They have several booths and tables to accommodate large parties. Everything looked tidy and not rundown compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I frequented.They have a wide selection of Vietnamese dishes. We opted in for the Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu. Overall, the dishes were just OK and not as flavorful. The broth is the main component of both dishes and yet the flavors were subtle. It paired well with the vegetables provided and they provided a good amount of meat.It is surprising to see this is one of the only Vietnamese spots in the area! Parking was plentiful and if you ever find yourself for Vietnamese food this would be the only spot or you have to drive to downtown Sac for others. I would come back to try their pho and other appetizers."
"Pho options, although limited were tasty. It was strange how we for them to run out of pho mid day so our plans to take some to go for the sick hubby and kid were unable to be accommodated.Enjoyed the egg rolls too.If in the area, worth checking out."
"I loved my experience here! It is not the most established interior but it just feels authentic. Their cashier greeted us immediately with a great smile and let us take our time with our menu, since there was no line. THE FOOD?! The food was incredible. Just what my husband and I needed for this cold weather/ his cold. We ordered just the broth of the pho ($6) and 3 banh mi! My husband was hungry. We got the pork bbq and the teriyaki beef banh mi. My fav was definitely the teriyaki. We used the broth for dipping/ hot broth is just cozy! I would definitely go back here."
