The Nem Nuong Cuon was very good and was the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the overall…read moreexperience was disappointing. Service was slow, and our food took a long time to arrive even though the restaurant was not busy. The bigger issue was the payment process. The menu displays one set of prices, but when paying by credit card, each item on the receipt appeared approximately 4% higher than the advertised menu price. Rather than showing a separate credit-card surcharge, the additional amount was built directly into the itemized food prices, making it difficult to determine the actual menu cost versus the card-processing charge. When I raised the issue, the server initially stated there was a credit-card fee and acknowledged that both payment options should have been presented. The server also pointed out that there was a small sign next to the register indicating a 4% credit card fee. However, I felt the concern was dismissed rather than addressed. If menu prices are cash prices, customers should be clearly informed and given a meaningful opportunity to choose between cash and credit pricing before being directed to the payment screen. What makes this feel deceptive is that the surcharge is not shown as a separate line item. Instead, it appears to be folded directly into the food prices on the receipt. As a customer, that makes it difficult to know how much of the total is actually food and how much is a credit-card fee. It creates the impression that the pricing is designed to obscure the surcharge rather than disclose it transparently. The payment terminal also calculated suggested tips on the total after tax rather than the food subtotal, resulting in higher suggested tip amounts. Between the hidden surcharge in the item prices and tip suggestions based on the after-tax total, it felt like a subtle way to collect more money from customers without clearly explaining how the charges were being calculated. The food was good, especially the Nem Nuong Cuon, but the lack of transparency around pricing and the slow service left a negative impression.

Food: 3.8 Service: 4.0…read more Updated visit 4/17: last minute Friday night date with the wifey because if I had to cook we would have eaten around 8pm. Always greeted at the door and pick your own seat, super easy! They take your drink order if you don't want water; note they have a boba/smoothie set-up too which my wife always grabs an avocado smoothie. Lately wife orders the fried crispy noodle combo (aka: bird's nest), and then a Phô bowl and of course A5: pork & shrimp spring roll. Servers check on you frequently for refills or anything you might need or just raise your hand and they'll come over. Pay at the desk. No frills no thrills and food is "Asian" comfort food especially when you don't want to cook.

Needed a quick bite before driving back to the Bay. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and it…read morewasn't too busy. We were seated right away and given menus. The menu had a bit too much going on and in my opinion -- restaurants should have a speciality rather than offer so many items because taste and quality loses itself somewhere in the middle of 100 different menu options. I know my partner and I are pho snobs but what we had wasn't even pho. The broth was basically hot water with a tad of salt or chicken bouillon. There were no hints of star anise, cinnamon (often referred to as Saigon cinnamon), cloves, black cardamom, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds -- nada. And the noodles were way too overcooked making my dish so difficult to eat. I ordered pho and it looked like pho -- but it tasted nothing close to it. I need to share that as a reality to the owner and staff so they can make changes to the quality of their food -- otherwise, I don't know if this place will survive the competition. Also, I observed a staff member behind the counter blending a smoothie of some sort, tasting it with a spoon, and then putting back said spoon into the smoothie to stir before pouring it into a cup (and I saw the cup delivered to a party a few tables down from us). That probably isn't very hygienic and it's sad to see that's how things are handled behind the scenes here. I just happened to look over from our table and was pretty disgusted. Moving on, I hope these guys shape up because the quality and taste of food was actually bad. And, I can rarely say that about restaurants I patronize because I love supporting local small businesses. Best of luck to these guys.

One of my favorite local spots in Wilton for authentic Vietnamese cuisine…read more Their egg rolls stand out immediately, the wrapper is incredibly crispy and flavorful, which is something not every Vietnamese restaurant offers. The filet mignon pho is another signature dish that keeps me coming back. The meat is consistently tender, soft, and high quality, making it hard to order anything else. The Bun Bo Hue is rich, flavorful, and well balanced, with a very generous portion of meat. You can really tell they take pride in both the quality and consistency of their food. For our area, we're truly fortunate to have a restaurant serving food of this quality locally.

I ordered crispy rocket shrimp and a banh mi sandwich with chicken. If I knew that the sandwich would be so big, I would've split it with my daughter. I actually got her own banh mi too. I dont know about her but I couldn't finish mine. Large pieces of chicken and the right amount of flavor. We'll definitely have to come back and try other items on the menu.

Staff were friendly and attentive. Lots of options on the menu and I appreciate that they have some items for kids and utensils and extra bowls for the kids. The place is quiet and clean. All the food came out super hot and fresh. Will definitely be back Steak and egg skillet: 5/5. I love these skillet dishes. The steak was flavorful and tender. The sauce in the skillet was not too heavy or sweet. It had a nice balanced flavor. All the different foods that came on the skillet were good. The meatball was a tad sweet for me. The baguette was warm and crispy. So good. Very good dish and one of the better ones I've had. Grilled rib eye rice combo: 5/5. I could be wrong, but I thought the beef had a slight lemongrass flavor that I love. The meat was tender. We got the garlic rice with it and it definitely elevates the flavors. Would recommend trying it with the garlic rice Egg rolls: 5/5. Came out nice and hot and crispy. The flavor is on the lighter side, but I thought it was flavorful enough. It also comes with fish sauce to dip in for more flavor and it was really good with that as well. Our boys love egg rolls and they approved. lol Kids noodle soup/pho: 4/5. Generous portion for the kids to share. They keep it simple for the kids. Just rice noodles and sliced beef. You can also add on meatballs, but we didn't since our boys don't always eat the meatballs. The pho broth was decent. The boys enjoyed it. I don't know if I would get a big bowl for myself. I prefer the other dishes here

Everyone's attention to detail is on point. Amazing experience and looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu. A variety of dishes served here- must try their baguette! Nice crunch on the outside but super warm and soft in the inside.

Took my parents here for dinner and it was a fun dining experience with the DIY spring rolls…read more Highly recommend calling in advance to make a reservation as the restaurant is pretty small and they may run out of the DIY deep fried catfish spring rolls. For 4 people, the medium size catfish was the perfect size! It came with vermicelli, assorted veggies, rice paper, and dipping sauce. We also ordered the crab fried rice, tofu clay pot, pork chops, and the rock and roll beef. I must say after finishing the spring rolls, everything else tasted mediocre. The fried rice didn't stand out and a bit too salty. The pork chops were a bit dry, the tofu clay pot was very flavorful but too salty as well. The beef was tender but the flavors was alright. Next time I come, I would just order the large catfish spring rolls and maybe the pork or beef skewers.

Tay Giang is the only place in Sacramento that serves up DIY catfish spring rolls, and is great…read morewhen you're craving something healthy and different. Grilled Butterflied Catfish DIY Wraps (Spring Rolls) 4/5* Tay Giang's version is ok and can satisfy my cravings, but it is a copy-cat version of the original slow-baked catfish from Southern California. It seems the catfish here is deep-fried, I believe to cut down on the wait time, but I still prefer the original Vietnamese version where they can take up to 45 minutes to slow roast the catfish. Still, this version is tasty with strong marination and slather of scallion/peanut oil. The deep frying creates a lot of crispy pieces for added texture to your spring roll. But warning.. if you order the small catfish, there isn't much meat and is mostly fried crispy parts, so I recommend the medium fish. Like all Vietnamese dishes, it comes with loads of fresh veggies and herbs. I also like that they provide the flattened vermicelli noodles (banh hoi) instead of rice noodles. They also give you a variety of sauces: tamarind fish sauce, regular fish sauce, and freshly chopped chilis to spice up as you'd like. Authentic Catfish Claypot 5/5* Catfish stewed in a peppery carmelized sauce. They didn't have the usual boiled egg with it, but this dish was bursting in flavor. Sweet, salty, savory, and lots of black pepper with hints of spice from the rest chilis. Best eaten with rice to soak up all the sticky sauce and flavor. This dish sends me back to my childhood days. Bun Bo Hue 4/5* Flavorful and lots of meats and veggies. I'm not a spicy eater, so I thoroughly enjoyed this BBH. Most other places make it too spicy right off the bat, but here they let you add your own spice. The noodles are springy and broth is perfectly salted to enhance the beefy flavors. Banh Xeo 1/5* Don't get this. This was terrible. The batter was so thick and deep fried, inside had too much bean sprouts and onions and not enough pork or shrimp. I've never seen onions in a banh xeo before and it was weird. The batter was what really ruined everything. Banh Xeo is supposed to be thin and crispy, but this was thick and crunchy. I've also tried their pho here and it was decent but not memorable. The star here, of course, is the catfish spring rolls. They do have an extensive menu though, serving a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and well as vegetarian-friendly. They've gone thru tough times during the pandemic and I've seen vandalism and broken windows, but I'm glad they survived the pandemic, because this is the spot when it comes to Vietnamese catfish dishes. I'm hoping they stick around for many more years; we often frequent Tay Giang for dinner.

Their pho broth is absolutely delicious. The shrimp spring rolls are fresh and amazing, and even the peanut sauce is perfect (not overly peanut-y). I like to add a little of their chili oil to it... yummm! Their drinks are also incredible. The Vietnamese coffee and avocado shakes are so good. I also decided to step out of the box and try a banh mi at a pho restaurant, and it did NOT disappoint. I ordered the beef banh mi -- the bread was perfectly toasted, the beef was tender and full of flavor, and the vegetables inside paired so well with the meat. Good service & good food. This might honestly be my new go-to spot.

We decided on pho at Sit Lo Saigon after reading the reviews on Yelp from a few Yelp friends that I respect. Parking at this restaurant is plentiful as it shares a lot with many other businesses in a busy shopping plaza. This is the kind of place that you walk up to the counter and place your order then they assign you a seat.Its a very casual ,comfortable restaurant. There were two of us eating so we decided to go with the #3($15.95)which is with just brisket & the #4($15.95) which is brisket and meatballs. After a few minutes of sitting down,they brought our bowls out-I'd say less than 6-7 minutes. My first response was "WOW!!" The sheer size of that bowl is what struck me-it was huge. Then again for $15.95,I think it makes sense. I'm a weirdo when it comes to pho,as I eat mine in a particular way.I drink all the broth before eating any of the noodles or meats or side additions. So after doctoring this bowl up with the sides,onions,bean sprouts,jalapeños,lime,Thai basil and chili oil-I went to town on that broth. I thoroughly enjoyed that broth,It had a rich flavor that truly only comes from a long simmering process-It was very good. After enjoying all that broth,I went after the brisket and noodles, Slurp City for sure!! The noodles were wonderful and the brisket was nicely flavored and textured. I really enjoyed my #3 from Sit Lo Saigon. That being said,after dissecting their menu a bit,I feel like I missed out on some quality items. The Oxtail or the Bone Marrow versions of their pho sounds like they would be a whole different level-so I plan on coming back when I'm out here and plan on giving one or both of those pho bowls a try-they sound amazing and if the broth in those versions are anything like the #3,it will for sure be a memorable meal. In closing,If you find yourself out in Elk Grove and find yourself craving some amazing pho,I'd recommend fully stopping by Sit Lo Saigon and giving their tasty dishes a try.

I was extremely happy with the portion size of it! Most of the time when I order pho at other places, I finish too quickly. But here, I always leave with a full tummy with left overs to take home as well. The pho broth has a rich, deep flavor and the ingredients taste fresh. And the bone marrow is MASSIVE with a good amount of marrow in it as well as extra meat on the outside. I also love how they have tea as one of the complimentary drink options. My only complaint is that the pho spoons look like they have been used and abused. They are kind of unsightly. Other than that, I will be a returning customer!

I have been a…read morefrequent customer and have always enjoyed your Pho, but I had a disappointing experience during my last meal. When we were seated, the waiter asked if we would like ice water or hot tea. Because of the way the question was phrased, we were under the impression that the tea was being offered as a complimentary option alongside the water. We were surprised to find a $2 charge for each tea on our final bill, especially as the tea remained untouched. I feel the way these beverages are offered is misleading and gives the impression that they are free of charge. I wanted to bring this to your attention so that your staff can be more transparent about pricing in the future to avoid catching other loyal customers off guard.
