    LaSam Pho is a popular Vietnamese restaurant located on Sunrise Blvd by Antelope Rd in Citrus Heights. Servers are alert to acknowledge you and try to seat you ASAP once a table becomes cleared. They do check on you if you need anything. Excellent service for a photo restaurant. There are 6 tables for 4 and another 6 tables for 2, but those are arranged as two tables next to each other, so it could function as 3 tables of 4 as an alternative seating arrangement (labeled Tables 8-10). You could feel like you're sharing your table at Tables 5-10. I didn't see a Table 1. Napkins, chopsticks, forks, and spoons in holders on table. I ordered the Special Beef Pho Bowl, which is on the 1st page of the menu presented like a children's storybook. It comes with a Back Rib, which requires use of hands and teeth to break it into bite-sized pieces. I could have used a knife. Broth is tasty as is. Bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno, and lemon provided. Sauces on table include soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and chili paste. I would only use soy sauce or fish sauce if you want more salt. I felt sriracha and hoisin overpowered the broth. I also ordered a Grilled Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich to go. Bread is soft. It is hollowed out on one half to make space for the meat. Enjoyable the next day if you keep it airtight in the fridge. I felt like regular customers were ordering all sorts of different menu items around me. I saw meat rice plates and thought I heard many appetizer orders: spring rolls, egg rolls, shrimp dumplings, etc. I would order the Bahn Mi again and try different dishes next time. Fun menu.

    Spring rolls are a big portion be prepared

    Fantastic service! So friendly and welcoming. One lady running her butt off and making it happen! Very clean and cute inside. Food was great. We got the spring rolls with pork. It was the thin sliced cold pork from what they usually put in the pho. I like the grilled pork or pork sausage better BUT the sauce they brought over with it made it SO good no matter! It's a big order so be prepared. Bah Mie sandwich was really tasty. Last we got a beef/ shrimp stir fry with fresh veggies and thick noodles. Loved the sauce! Almost a tomato flavor? So good! Definitely would order all again. Maybe a shrimp in the spring rolls. I want to try the shaken beef! We'll be back!

    Food is bland, no flavor in the pho. I paid $44.00 for a kids chicken pho sub with cabbage instead of noodles, a regular chicken pho and potstickers. The broth was not hot, it tasted like water, and the worst part is there was very little protein. Do recommend ordering to go. Disappointed and wasted my money.

    Very good pho! The broth was good. I also ordered the pork egg rolls which were good too. I loved the spicy sauce they served with the egg rolls. My friend ordered tofu spring rolls, but she saw a small piece of hair in it. :\ We told our server who apologized profusely and made her a new order. The server was very friendly. Prices are a little higher than other Vietnamese restaurants, but I think it's worth it for the pho.

    The pho was really good! Very clean broth flavor on its own, although I always add sriracha. I ordered the eggrolls were nice and crispy and the sauce was tasty, perfect amount of spice. The special beef pho was so good. They were generous with the toppings. It was supposed to come with beef balls but my bowl didn't have any. No big deal maybe they forgot maybe they were out. The service was a little slow but it's a small family restaurant that was really busy with dine ins and to go orders so be patient and understanding! Super sweet lady and daughter working together! They were nice and kept apologizing but they did amazing! It's a clean and small little spot.

    Best option for authentic Vietnamese in the area! I grew up in the San Jose area, and was very lucky to have tons of exposure to this cuisine (which is also now my favorite). Met up here with high school friends for a casual lunch hang and catch up. Beef rib pho had tender meat, well-seasoned clean broth, and the usual trimmings. Grilled pork appetizer and shaking beef were well-marinated and tender. Really enjoyed how well-run this place is and would love to go back soon.

    Small, welcoming restaurant with very friendly staff--you can tell it's family-owned. Service was quick and attentive. Shrimp spring rolls were a good size with a rich, tasty peanut sauce. Grilled pork vermicelli bowl had huge portions; the pork was slightly overcooked, but the vinegar sauce helped balance it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving this spot a try and look forward to trying other dishes next time!

    A solid option for pho in this area. Meat, broth, and noodles were all fresh and flavorful. Seating good for smaller groups but they might be able to put tables together if you have more than 4-5 people. Service is quite friendly but it can take a minute to get your food if it's busy. We came on a rainy weekend and waited 20min for our first order to arrive. Prices are a little above average but not outrageous. Strip mall parking.

    Veggie pho

    This restaurant is hidden in a complex. You can miss it if you're not paying attention. I was a bit surprised to have a book made out of pictures as the menu. This is different from the online menu so I was able to order my veggie pho. It was savory and enjoyable. I was quite disappointed they didn't bring out my shrimp rolls as appetizer and my friend had to remind them to bring it. I ordered a pork chop with egg to go for my husband. My friend found a hair deeply lodged in her beef bowl pho. Although she got another soup to go, unfortunately I won't be returning here. The sauce with the French bread was pretty good.

    Absolutely the best pho in the region. Family owed. Expertly prepared. The flavors are elaborate! A must try!

    Not being a local - we were so happy to stumble upon LaSam Pho! Divey and family owned vibe keeps it cozy... The food was very tasty - and the service was wonderful! It felt like we had been regulars and they were so kind and understanding with the mess my toddler made at the table. The shaken beef sunny side up egg with french bread is a must and so is their special bowl pho with the big beef rib! Only thing is I wish they put less ice in my vietnamese coffee because I didn't get much coffee and got more ice. Spring rolls were great sized and also had a tasty peanut sauce that fit the bill! Overall this was a yummy vietnamese spot found in a place we were unfamiliar with. So glad the locals have this gem and yummy goodness to satiate their vietnamese food hankering!

    Customer service is above and beyond. They like to give 100% into their food and service. Got the chicken pho and it is delicious the soup base was perfect noodles were great. Also got shrimp spring rolls. Shrimp is fresh peanut sauce is amazing. I use to drive all the way to Folsom but this is now my new spot can't wait to try other stuff.

    Meatballs in tomato sauce
    Mary L.

    Finally got around to trying this place after a friend told me about their xiu mai (meatballs in tomato sauce). Thuy greeted me when I walked in and was super sweet. I went with the beef pho and meatballs with French bread. The pho was so flavorful--I just added a little sriracha, lemon, bean sprouts, and jalapeños. The broth was rich and comforting. The baguette was perfectly toasted--crispy on the outside and soft inside. The meatballs were tender and went great with the bread, and there was plenty of sauce to dip or stuff into the bread for a mini sandwich. What really stood out was how warm and attentive Thuy and Steve was with everyone. I mentioned my friend had recommended the place and described them, and she actually remembered them and their order--which was so cool. Steve came out from the back to chat too. I told them I came specifically for the meatballs since not many places have them, and they were both genuinely excited to hear that. It was such a positive and refreshing experience. The food and their kindness felt like a warm hug. Definitely coming back!

    YUM!! Finally made it here for date night and so worth it!…read moreThe staff was quick to seat us and take our orders. The waiter was super friendly and gave great suggestions. We both got the Tantan and of course added the extra FREE noodles. We added garlic oil and corn. The spice level was perfect, and all of the Ingredients were fresh. One thing I noticed was how flavorful the chashu was. Usually in my experience it's a bit gamey, but not this one. We also had the spicy Karaage, it was not overly spicy, super flavorful, and very juicy large chunks! The little salad that came with the karaage was also very delicious. We had plenty left over for lunch the next day. Can't wait to return!

We started with a couple of soups, and despite the hot weather outside, they were flavorful, comforting, and thoroughly enjoyable. The soup-less ramen was another standout. It was far more filling than I expected, packed with flavor, and I loved that they offered extra noodles at no additional charge--a thoughtful touch that definitely adds value to the meal. The service was attentive and informative from start to finish. Since we were dining with a larger party of six, our server proactively let us know that gratuity would automatically be included before we even placed our order. I appreciated the transparency, as it eliminated any surprises when the bill arrived. Overall, this spot delivered delicious food, good service, and a smooth dining experience. I would happily return the next time I'm craving a satisfying bowl of ramen.

We got the pan fried pork dumplings, jajang noodles, and fried green beans. The dumplings should come with the warning... they are so juicy that if you bite it a certain way you might create a mess. I recommend treating them like soup dumplings and taking a small bite out of the top to suck some of the juices before taking a bigger bite. My favorite dish was the green beans, greasy in a good way, well seasoned and with small delicious bits of pork for extra richness. My least favorite dish was the jajang noodles due to the sauce, but my partner liked it so it just depends on what you prefer. I probably wouldn't come back on my own but if I did, I would definitely get the green beans again.
