Fulton Pho

Probably the most flavorful pho broth I've had in many, many years. Blown away by how good this is. The meat is really high quality and perfectly cooked as well. The "large" portion is huge, so come hungry. Quick, friendly service and reasonable prices.Only passing through Sacramento, but I'd come here weekly if this was near home. This place is a gem.

Sometimes you just want a simple and good bowl of pho. Fulton Pho came through in the clutch for some hearty pho.Smaller restaurant but has plenty of seating for small groups. The pho came out piping hot. P4 is a custom pho where you can choose up to 4 proteins. The broth was clean but a little salty at the end. Great portions! They have 5 different TVs playing different things. Service was good.Small parking lot. Prices are reasonable.

4 stars because the pho broth is actually just *that* delicious and the portions are enormous (perfect for hungry Americans) which also includes plentiful meat. My family loves it. My sweet tooth also enjoyed how super sweet the honeydew milk tea is (but that's a personal preference).As for everything else, I'm disappointed in the variety of menu options and the service was subpar. I understand that we visited on a holiday (MLK JR. Day) so they were extremely busy, but yet seemed short staffed -- tables were packed and not cleaned up quickly enough so customers were often standing at the door waiting for tables to be cleaned. The wait is worthwhile since the pho broth and noodles tasted amazing but I don't like the portioning (I do not like to bring home leftover pho and the restaurant only offers "small" or "large" which from glancing at other tables, is still too much for my appetite). I also do not like that they dumped so much [green] onions into the pho, which also includes the Kid Size pho, so keep that in mind if you have a little one that does not like onions.I ordered the Kid Size Meatball Pho (Pho Bo Vien) because I know I would be unable to finish their regular portions -- The first thing the server said to me was "How old are you?"My instinctive reaction mentally was to take offense because that came off as rude but I decided to assume he was joking and just replied that I do not like the larger portions of pho. He tried to lighten the mood by stating they're almost considered 5 stars, as a way to incentivize me to order something else on the menu, perhaps? (They are averaging 4.8 star reviews on Google).Well, we also ordered the egg rolls (that was all my husband wanted to try) and he told us they were out of egg rolls.. Okay.. but then later when we spoke in Vietnamese to one of the other employees, she said they did have some and she'll make some for us.The egg rolls were light and nicely crisp but I would not consider these egg rolls, more like spring rolls because of the cabbage filling and minimal or lack of meat whereas egg rolls tend to be on the heavier side and filled with ingredients like mung bean thread, mushrooms, ground pork, etc. so I didn't like them at all because I hate cabbage and do not order spring rolls yet the menu didn't list it as such. 3 "egg rolls" for about $8 is not my cup of tea. The dipping sauce was good though; tastes like a sweet and sour.I have not tried their banh mi sandwiches and neither am I interested so you'll have to peruse the other reviews for this opinion.The general consensus enjoys this restaurant enough to have the reviews that they do (they were sold out about 1-2 hours before closing when I visited).I live about a 10 minute drive from here but I'll only be returning for family lunches/dinners. I like the drink options but the limited options for appetizers and large portions+overload of onions in the pho deters me visiting again. The broth is amazing but not enough for me to "crave" that I can't get from homemade pho or my regular go-to pho location. I love pho but when I go out to eat, that's not the only thing I want so when other restaurants offer more quality drink + appetizer options, there's not much reason for me personally to come back to a restaurant that only specializes in pho and everything else feels Americanized.(For further context, I was born and raised for a few years in Southern Vietnam).But if you're looking for good Pho, this would be a decent option to add to your list of Pho restaurants to try out.

Okaaaaaaaay. This is a random find after getting my car serviced at Audi and wanted a yummy warm treat. Saw on yelp that there is a pho place near by and oooooooh yah. This is one of the best broth hands down. Got the oxtail pho and it was delish! Service is quick, folks are nice. Small place but straight to the point yummy good eats! Place is clean and the menu is simple. I love how it's focused and they really perfected their craft. I cannot wait to come back.

Hold the pho-ne... Yummy pho, scrumptious banh mi, delectable boba AND OPEN MONDAYS?! I had to try it to believe it. Their menu is perfect and I just want more space in my stomach. It's casual inside with lots of bright sunshine and table seating for 4. Multiple tvs around so my kid was entertained. Our server was pleasant and took great care of us. I think the most notable thing was the bread. Weird flex but hear me out, it tasted so fresh! Like duc hoang without the commute iykyk.

We had the house pho and grilled pork banh mi, both of them are so so. The big bone in the pho is not tender and tastes bland, pretty disappointed.

You know, if you had told me ahead of my recent Sacramento adventures that I'd end up discovering my new favorite pho joint up here, I'm not sure I would've believed you. Not to say that I thought it was impossible, I just would've thought it'd be more likely to happen in a place like SF or San Jose, in particular. Shows how little I knew about the relatively robust Vietnamese food scene around here! What's more, it's not even in the Little Saigon area either!As I pulled up to Fulton Pho, I really wasn't sure what to expect. All of their awesome Yelp reviews gave me confidence, but I'd be lying if I said the main reasons why I came here weren't my hunger, their proximity to where I was, and my perpetual craving for pho, even in 103 degree weather. While I very much appreciated how easy it was to park even in their small lot, the wealth of seating inside, and, of course, their strong A/C, the menu is what excited me most. It's not super extensive I've seen (apps, banh mi, and about a dozen noodle soup offerings, including pho, bo kho, and pho ga), but I still had to convince myself to stick with just my bowl of noodles (for the most part...).-- FULTON HOUSE PHO - Beef Rib, Ribeye, Well Done Brisket, Flank, Fatty Brisket, Tendon, Meatball...$16.95This was fantastic! Not only did this have so many types of meat in it, but all of them tasted great. The rib was beefy and tender (meat fell right off), the ribeye and brisket were delicious, and the broth was super flavorful. Plus, this still had enough noodles to balance out the meats. YUM.-- SMOKED BRISKET...$5.95Got this more to try and bring home than to add to my pho, but it sure was tempting to devour it at once. Each slice was so, so good - the pieces nearly melted in my mouth and I love how garlicky and well seasoned they were. If I could get a whole plate of this, I absolutely would!Along with the food, the other thing about Fulton Pho that I loved was how friendly the service was. The server who helped me was super nice, warmly greeted everyone who walked in, and came by often to refill my water and to see if I needed anything.Even though I've only tried their combination pho and signature smoked brisket, I can safely say that Fulton Pho easily ranks among my favorite pho joints anywhere, if not at the very top of the list. Despite how far they are from SF, the more impetuous side of me wouldn't be opposed to making the drive up here just to try more of the menu, especially their beef stew. Of course, that would mean not getting their combination pho again, which would be more than a little difficult to pass up.. Ugh...if only Fulton Pho was closer, I'd be here all of the time!

Came here with my family a few months ago as we wanted to have Pho. We decided on this location (2 adults and 3 kids). It's a small place but fast to get a seat and sit down to eat. We ordered the kids Pho which was perfect size for the children. My sister and I ordered the Fulton House Pho. All Phos were delicious and filling and we were very satisfied. After coming here the first time we came back a few weeks later because it was just that good. Thank you for providing good service and food.

Loved the service! The guy was super nice and funny. Loved the food. Would definitely come again.

I got the pho and customized it with 4 meat choices and they weren't skimpy on the proteins! Noodles were cooked perfectly for me. The broth was on the clearer side but I can still faintly taste the spices. They provide bean sprouts on the side with thai basil and lime. It's not the most flavorful bowl I have had, but I added condiments and tailored it to my liking. Overall it's a solid bowl of pho.The eggrolls were meh but nicely fried.The service was good. I didn't have to wait too long. It's not a big establishment, and it appears to be family run. There's not many pho places in the area, so I would return if I'm in the area.
