    Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly service. We were hungry after running some errands in South Sacramento area and the wife wanted some Vietnamese food. This place was a great choice! Clean restaurant except the floors are a bit sticky. But other than the floors the interior is really nice and well done. Definitely check out Co Ba Saigon!

    All the dishes were on point and authentic. Tony was also very helpful and checked on us often. Decoration reminded me of Vietnam. Will come back.

    Beef rib pho
    Stephanie S.

    The beef rip pho was delicious and huge!! Waitstaff was very friendly and took great care of us. The spring rolls and Thai tea were yummy. The only thing I would point out is that all five water cups that were at our table smelled very strongly of bleach so we didn't drink any water. Not sure if it just happened to be our cups, but it was very late in the day and we were super hungry so we just ordered different drinks. Pho was flavorful so will definitely coming back to eat here again.

    Seafood with Noodles
    Jennifer N.

    FOOD - Seafood With Rice or Egg Noodle: I ordered mine with both types of noodles, no veggies, and dry. It came with fish balls, squid, shrimp, and tobiko fishball. I liked the addition of tobiko fishballs. The flavor was good but the broth could have used more flavor. 3.5/5 SERVICE: I came with my family and parents. Our server was friendly and engaged with my kids. He was very accommodating to all of our asks and needs. Service was great except my mom didn't get her food until everyone else was almost done with theirs. We had to ask about her order as it was coming out. Then she felt rushed because she didn't want us to wait on her. 3/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back and try other items. Hopefully they don't forget any of our orders.

    The customer service was Excellent! Our server Tony made sure we had everything and continued to come check on us. The Best part was the food was so delicious! Flavor and great presentation!

    Bun Rieu & Sweet Sour Catfish soup
    Toby N.

    Not bad at all...this location/spot has changed ownerships a few times so I was reluctant to come back but much to my dismay they have a variety of dishes I really like. After reading some of the latest reviews and I had a craving for Bun Rieu We ventured back to try Pho Co Ba Dishes we ordered: Canh chua/Sweet Sour soup with cat fish Camalized Pork belly Bun Rieu All were delicious and tasty Service was a bit chaotic but not enough to complain Note: location/area is sketchy due to the parking lot activities! We will definitely come back and try their other dishes Bon appetite

    Spring rolls
    Jackson T.

    Went here on a cold winter night in February with my siblings for dinner. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers, but was not overly packed, which I prefer. We ordered the spring rolls and the duck rice plate as an appetizer. I liked both dishes, but did prefer the spring rolls and the peanut sauce. Both dishes were good. I ended up ordering a small bowl of pho for myself and it was good. My siblings all ordered pho as well except one who ordered the Bun Bo Hue. We all liked our dishes and the customer service was excellent. I did not know am old friend of mines family owns this restaurant so it was a nice surprise. This restaurant is located next to a liquor store, which is busy and has a lot of customers coming and going. Will be back again

    Pork chop rice plate
    Cynthia S.

    This particular restaurant spot always changes but I am glad I gave this place a try! I definitely think they now have better pho and food options than the past previous restaurants. I got #27 which is a pork chop rice plate. It was so filling! Great portions for everything it came with and the server gave me a side of broth which complimented the meal so well. My family got their pho and the broth was flavorful. I tried the tendon in the pho and it literally just melts! Best part ever. The space is clean and open. The servers are very nice and welcoming. I'll definitely come back!

    Part of the Family Dinner for 2 - veggie dish not pictured
    Mei L.

    Stopped by here while running errands in Sac Town. We got the family dinner for 2 - canh chua shrimp, caramelized catfish claypot and stir fried veggies ($45.99) plus the offal plate appetizer ($17.99). All dishes were amazingly good... the com gia dinh reminds me of the dinners I had with my family as a kid. The canh chua soup is one of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!! Staff is so helpful and attentive, esp our waiter and Tony :) bathrooms are super clean and there is plenty of parking.

    Banh canh

    Stopped by here after my usual pho place closed for the day. Got the banh canh and it didnt disappoint. It was clean and very friendly staff. Will definitely come back. Tony was awesome! Cant wait to try other items!

    Bun Bo Hue
    Vivian P.

    My boyfriend and I wanted something warm after our snowboarding trip, so we came here. Parking was super quick to find! There wasn't a lot of people in store, but the ambiance was nice and it seemed like they had a lot of online orders. We both got the Bun Bo Hue, and it came out fresh! I like my bun bo hue super spicy, so I had to add a bit more chili sauce. Our waiter was super friendly as well!

    Seafood Pho
    Kaela H.

    We happen to find this place by chance on the road home back to the Bay Area, and initially we were confused on where it was because they had changed their name. It's in the same plaza as New Asia Supermarket, and it's the only pho place there. For a late lunch, we were seated immediately. The menu is quite extensive, but we came in for pho because we were craving some noodles after the weekend on the slopes. We ordered the spring rolls to start with, and I personally ordered the seafood pho. Spring rolls were freshly made, soft and delicious. I liked how my pho's soup was light and clear. It didn't taste super heavy or full of MSG. I love the fried garlic and chives in there. I've never encountered seafood pho with fish balls, but these were really good. It had 2 shrimps and plenty of squid. I tried the beef pho soup from my husband's pho, and I liked how it tasted well seasoned with real spices... not MSG. I'm very MSG sensitive so I'm glad I'm not getting a headache while typing this. Our server Tony was very attentive and nice to us so I gotta say that's a plus. Super friendly guy! This place is definitely worth the stop.

    My pops and I came here for a nice little lunch. This place is located in the New Asia Supermarket plaza. First impression, this place seems brand new. It was pretty quiet when we walked in, there was a good amount of people in there. The man who sat us down didn't speak English well, it actually seemed like he was in training. But he was very nice. My dad ordered a medium #1 (pho dac biet) and I ordered a small #2 (pho tai) and we also got the fried calamari. Food- The calamari was very good! I haven't had good calamari in a while, but I loved the batter on it and the squid wasn't rubbery. The pho was good! The broth was super flavourful and there was a good ratio of noodles and meat. My dad and I both enjoyed our meal. Service was very sweet and kind. My dad accidentally spilled his water on himself and the workers immediately came and helped clean up the mess! They even gave us a towel so my dad can dry himself up. So thanks for that :)

    Is it closed now? Drove to it and it looked closed down

    I think so. We also drove by into the plaza and couldn't find the place. Others say it was previously a restaurant named something else but we didn't see any building indicating the old or new name

    Was this the restaurant that used to be Pho Sacto? Is it same management, just different name?

    Yes! This the restaurant that used to be "Pho Sacto". It doen't look like it has the same management,

I ordered the Large American Kobe Beef with miso and crab broths. It was an average size to feed two people, however I was hungry so I was not full after the meal. The dish came with thin sliced beef, veggies, and choice of noodles or rice. The portion of noodles was very small. The crab broth was my favorite of all the broths and had a nice crab flavor. The meal came with dessert which was a choice of ice cream; I chose the cookies and cream. The chicken wing appetizer was scrumptious. The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection. After the food was served he checked if we needed anything and refilled water. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy on a Saturday evening so reservations are recommended. Free parking is on the street.

Glad my mom suggested it for her birthday dinner or I don't know when I would've ever gone! Service was excellent (both helpful & informative). Since we'd never gone before, we were offered a sample of the broths; this was super helpful and appreciated because I ended up not ordering one of the broths I thought I was definitely going to get. I got the Kobe Beef with Miso & Crab Rieu as the two broths. I was able to comfortably split the large size with my husband, but we probably could've used a slightly larger portion for his sake. (He felt a bit hungry after the meal but noted his stomach had settled.) As a party of 5, two of us shared one pot (or two broths) and three shared another pot. The chicken wings appetizer was very flavorful too! (The server listed three options for wings and we went with the one that included jalapeños.) For noodles, you can choose between instant ramen, fresh ramen or vermicelli. It also came with a small scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal! I think I'll come back for AYCE soon. All the ingredients were fresh and very tasty.

    Came here with the family for lunch on a weekday. We were seated right away without any issues…read more The place is very big with lots of seating. My sister said it gets very busy at dinner time and the wait time can be over an hour. For lunch, it was quite a good deal. AYCE Hotpot, sushi and BBQ for about $30. If you only choose one of the AYCE options, it is about $25 but seems worth it to get the all 3 combo for $30. It does seem that everybody at the table has to choose the same option. Hot pot - You each get your own individual hot pot. There had a pretty good variety of broth flavors to choose from. There is a menu that you can order the meat from. There were 5 of us and we were told we can order 4 meats to share per round. There is a separate area for to grab a tray/bowl and choose your veggies. All in all, I enjoyed the Tonkatsu broth and like the variety of meats and veggies available. Korean BBQ - A bit different in that you do not order at the table. There is an area with small trays of meat available for you to grab and bring back to your table. Good variety. Pork Jowl was my favorite and it's not as common. The only issue is that if your party doesn't communicate, you some how end up grabbing all of the same items! So discuss amongst yourselves or else it might be an overkill. Didn't try the sushi simply because I had some good quality sushi the night before so no need for buffet style sushi. The staff was VERY friendly and efficient. They came by often to check on us, take away dirty plates and to change the grill. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    Mixed review on this one…read more Standout: Service, Service, Service! The food runners and the supporting staff were amazing! Great patients with the grandparents as they are less adventurous as they took time to explain the process as well as recommending a less "punch you in the face" broths for their individual hotpot. This buffet style was also cool in that all the individual proteins (pre-cooled/seasoned/fully cooked) were individually plated and in little half boxes . Diners take an empty lunch tray, gather what looks good for their liking and return to their table to cook and enjoy. Definitely much more "civilized" . Way better than large sections with multiple tongs encouraging the food savages. Another big plus is the wide selections. For those food influencers...it will be a long running camera shot just to capture the amount of different items. The challenge with this approach tho is that the plates and small food containers can stack up bery quickly and take over much of the real estate on the dining table top. But we were amazed at the team work of the staff to quickly make the needed elbow room. On a busy Saturday night tho, it definitely can still be a bit tricky. The value for the AYCE die hards are definitely there! There are solid options of meats fish and veg. But those fearing AYCE diners can also expect a certain level madness. We saw many unintentional dropping of trays of eager patrons. There were definitely ambitious customers that are stacking their trays sky high. Customers on our visit were generally very cordial to staff and on the couple of "tim.....berssss" we witnessed, the response time to clean up was really impressive! The AYCE masses are hard to please for sure, but it may make a difference to apply some general limit on the individual patrons trays? That may frustrate some hardcore diners but can enhance the experience of others. We will reiterate that the managing team is just doing such a bang up job in hiring a great crew! They all were hustling and we definitely noticed! WTG!!!

There's just…read moresomething so so soothing and satisfying about this cuisine and something so communal and fun that I just can't get enough. When considering a hot pot restaurant, I think you have to look at two things the broth choices, and the selection of the signature proteins. A lot of places will try to convince you that you need to upgrade to the premium level to get access to the best of the best, but I am more appreciate places like this one that offer a ton at the low and medium level with only a few really choice select things added to the premium level Making the decision pretty easy. We opted for the mid tier which included several cuts of beef, lamb, pork chicken, as well as a lot of fun, add-ins, like fish balls, and tofu, skin, chrysanthemum greens, and more. For broth, I went with the Sichuan spicy medium heat level and frankly I probably could've dialed it up a little bit. As the broth evaporated did get hotter and hotter like it's supposed to and I did have a couple of reactions to the heat as it hit my sinuses, but other than that, it was deliciously tolerable. Now, while we upgraded to the midtier, my favorite cut of meat had to have been the spicy beef and the green chili chicken. Both of these had house marinades or dry seasonings on them that made the meat delicious and added it to the broth as well. But above all that the real shining star here has to be the service. The server was ever present in the most appropriate way possible quick to take an order, and the kitchen was even quicker to get that order to us. The restaurant was completely clean and we were never wanting for more than literally a second. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area if you live in the area and you haven't been, you are seriously missing out. Oh yeah and the shrimp balls are made in house and insanely good!

It took a little while for him to take our order after we were seated, but he did a solid job making sure everything we ordered made it to the table. We did have to get up a few times to get his attention while he was hanging out near the kitchen prep area. We tried the AYCE option at $38 per person. Each pot comes with two broth choices. The price isn't bad, but I feel like they could offer a few more seafood options and maybe include some appetizers. The beef selection and vegetables were good, but for seafood they only offered fish roe balls, shrimp and mussels. The shrimp being peeled was definitely a plus. Appetizers are only included with the premium AYCE set, which is $78 per person. There's also a sauce bar. I made my sauce the same way I usually do at Seapot and GoGi, but the ponzu was a bit too sour and the sesame sauce was pretty bland. Overall, I wasn't disappointed with the experience, but I don't think this would become one of my go-to hot pot spots.
