    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!

    Shrimp Spring Rolls
    Blanca H.

    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!

There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes.

There is also a side area to eat, however there were a number of flies buzzing around, which made it unappetizing (this was kept my review from being a full five stars). The indoor area is a mix of dark woods and faux plants, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. As for the food, there was only one plant-based (vegan friendly) option for me: the cilantro lime avocado toast. This came topped with micro greens and pickled onions, and with a side of potatoes. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were kind. I also ordered an Americano that was good. This spot is like a little hidden green jewel in Citrus Heights. I hope more businesses fill out this complex so they can continue to do well.

I was in Portland a couple weeks ago and there are many, many gluten free establishments. With so many intolerant to gluten, you'd think there would be more. Thankfully Gluten OFF Bakery is here - though a bit far from my part of Sacramento. This family owned business is excellent. The restaurant has been furnished with love and care with beautiful green and wood tones throughout. There are thoughtful decorations all around the good sized dining area. In the front is the case where you can see pastry and cookie options as well as a whole drink menu. Most gluten free places focus on pastries and such, but to my surprise, Gluten OFF also had real food items on the menu. There were burgers, crepes (both sweet and savory), and sandwiches. I really appreciated this variety. I decided to go for the apple crepe on my visit and it was absolutely the correct choice. The crepes are nice and thin and they are dressed very nicely. The crepes honestly surprised me so much! It was made very well, was delicate, and didn't feel like I was eating something that didn't have gluten in it. My wife got the avocado toast with salmon and it was a hearty amount of food. They did not skimp on the avocado or salmon. It was beautifully presented and she enjoyed it quite a bit. Gluten OFF Bakery is top notch and one of the best options for folks who need a place that doesn't serve gluten in their foods.

The Chicken Pesto Club was packed with flavor, the marinated chicken was juicy, and the bacon tied everything together perfectly.

As someone who works in the food industry, that's a pretty big miss and instantly ruined my appetite. Cookie? Mac salad? Straight to the trash. The food was honestly great, but finding a hair in my sandwich definitely took some shine off the "best sandwiches in Carmichael" title.
