This place newly opened. The service was great. Wait staff knows the sense of urgency. Love it. Their salt and pepper chicken wings were hands down the best chickens wings I have ever had. You know I eat out a lot! It is a must order here.I got the spicy beef rib stew. Flavorful! I love the beef ribs. Didn't care for the beef stew meat. The meat on the rib was plenty for me. Will definitely come back again. My kids will love this place

Ever since Pho Le in Elk Grove closed, I've been lamenting the loss of a great pho spot in the area. I'm not a fan of braving the crowds in South Sac for great Vietnamese food. I've had Pho Fresh in Rancho Cordova and was so happy they opened another location closer to me. On my first visit, I got the house combo egg noodle soup with wontons, shrimp, calamari, chicken and charsui. The broth was so flavorful. I didn't need to add anything to my soup. It was perfect just as it was. I usually have a bit of the broth before digging into the rest of the dish, but I had to have all the broth. I ended up taking a majority of it home since I filled up on the soup. (Not that I'm complaining).On my next visit, I had the vermicelli with grilled pork. This is usually my go to item when I have Vietnamese food. However, their version was one of the best I've had. Their fish sauce was chef's kiss! It was like crack...LOLThe restaurant is in a strip mall near Sushi Q and Super Taco. We had no issues with parking on both of our visits. Service was prompt and efficient. The restaurant is a decent size and very clean. If I could eat here at every meal, I would. Pricing is about $15-20 per person before drinks. It's comparable to other restaurants in the area and has great quality ingredients.

I've gotten a takeout banh mi here as well as rice plate with grilled pork. Both visits took a long time for food to be prepared but came with large meat portions. When dining in, the server did apologize for it taking so long. However I asked for garlic rice sub and the kitchen missed it. My server was really apologetic when I flagged her down to ask about it. I wasn't upset but I did ask to remove the garlic rice sub charge. Rather than removing it from the bill, they gave a flat $2 cash back after we paid with CC since they claimed it would be too much effort to change the bill. I found this pretty unusual and quite off-putting considering I told them about the error well before paying so they could have corrected the bill.For the food itself, it was pretty average/standard. I might come back to try the pho if I'm in a pinch and don't want to drive farther out but only as takeout and calling well beforehand.

Placed an online order on a Sunday afternoon and got 10% Off Your 1st Order for Pho Fresh 2U (located near El Super Taco on the opposite end of where Little Caesars and T% are).1 x Shrimp Spring Rolls ($8.95)1 x Tai, Nam, Gau, Gan, Sach Pho ($14.95) Size Medium1 x Mi Wonton ($14.95)1 x Bun Grilled Meat ($13.95) PorkThe order was promised and ready within 25 minutes, takeout. Big spacious interior, a few people dining in, clean look, friendly staff. The shrimp spring rolls were fresh but I was wanting more shrimp and less lettuce, not overly minty/cilantro/noodly is that's your jam. Peanut dipping sauce was good consistency and flavor.Mom got the combination pho which had rare steak, well-done flank, fat brisket, tendon & tripe, beansprouts, thai basil, jalapenos, lime, hoisin and sriracha sauce. Beef meatballs, wontons, or extra noodles are +$3 or shrimp for +$4. The broth was very clean.I had the house wonton egg noodle soup (chicken broth, mixed fresh seasonal veggies, fried shallots, green onions, cilantro). Wontons stuffed with pork and topped with sliced charsiu pork. I saw bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, celery. The wontons themselves seemed to also have mushroom? Definitely pork only, not pork+shrimp like I'm used to. The broth was good.Dad had the grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles, marinated and grilled in thick savory lemongrass sauce and spices. Came with the noodles, chopped peanuts, and veggies (carrots/radish, cilantro, lettuce/cabbage shredded like a slaw). The meat was very very good, although the veggies could be more substantial with beansprouts, cucumber, or larger pieces of lettuce. They also have specialty pho, rice plates, sandwiches, salads, bao, rice pepper rolls, appetizers, stirfried noodles, a vegan menu and catering! This is the second location (original in Rancho Cordova).

So this place just opened back up a month ago after renovations! It's not bad.I went here with my brother and it was cold outside so of course we got noodle soup. We got the crispy egg rolls (they were ok, but I would have liked them hotter). My brother got the roasted chicken soup which looked AMAZING. And I got the regular pho.They had a spicy beef rib and oxtail pho that I have to try next time.It was very clean inside, there's a bar! And the service was really good! Everyone there was very thoughtful and attentive.

So glad this place opened up near me so I can get my authentic Vietnamese cravings out the way. Service was fantastic - my waitress is, Van, who was attentive and welcoming. She's amazing and such a sweetheart! The restaurant is clean and hopefully it keeps that way since it's newly opened. Their menu looks overwhelming but the pictures helped. There's something for everyone.Everything I ordered was 9/10. I will definitely come back to try the other dishes/pho.

It's a new spot in East Elk Grove. They have a very big menu and they have a lot of vegetarian dishes. I was very impressed. I ordered the beef stew pho, the portions were big and they give you a lot of beef. The broth had good flavoring. I want to come back and try more dishesThe employees were very friendly and the restaurant is very casual and it had all new furniture and flooring.

I went to a new Pho place . It was his grand opening to the public. The chef Van has his first restaurant in Rancho Cordova. This is his second place. The place is a nice size. Not too big or small. Lots of tables with that new look. There is a bar with about eight seats. He is the only Pho place with 8 beers on tap. Van is famous for Vegan and vegetarian dishes. I asked him what I should have and he suggested the Oxtail pho. The broth was so flavorful. I loved it. The Oxtail was tender and so yummy. A little spicy, perfect. We got the porkbelly and it was cooked perfectly. Such good flavor. Also got the calamari which was good. I will have to come back and try more stuff.

If you're in the mood for an authentic taste of Vietnam, look no further than Pho fresh . This cozy restaurant offers a warm atmosphere and an impressive menu. Their pho is the star of the show. The spices are perfectly balanced, making each bowl a delightful experience. Really enjoyed the lemongrass flavor in my broth . Great service . Clean . Very good service. Thank you Thoa and everyone else.

Came here with my husband and child on a Monday night. It seemed like it wasn't too busy. Close parking across the street. So place looks really nice and new and one of the workers was so nice. Although this place lacks service and food quality. Food:Pho ga/chicken pho - no. Slices of chicken was hard and dry. Broth was okay.Kids meatball pho- came with broccoli. The meatball tasted a bit odd. Mongolian beef rice plate - plate was a bit cold already when I got it like it had been sitting there. They cooked it with so much crushed chili peppers thrown on there. The cut of the beef was in large pieces and a bit chewy. I would not recommend. The side soup they had was probably the best thing I tasted out of all the items we ordered. Service: food took quite a while to come out. We only got our drinks we ordered but never got water. My husband didn't even get a soup spoon for his pho, so I had to ask. The lady who dropped off our food literally just handed our food and was gonna leave. Didn't even say anything, so I had to ask for a soup spoon then she turned her back and I had to say can we also get a small bowl (for my child). After this NO ONE CAME BY TO CHECK ON US AFTERWARDS. And when I wanted the check I had to wave down the first lady who took our order. While their menu is vast, the quality isn't there. I may return to see if their other items is good later on but most likely not.
