    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Got the tofu spring rolls. First they were way over priced, came to $15 with tax. Second, they were way too stuffed, I couldn't even eat them without them falling apart. Also, the peanut sauce was way too thick, so I couldn't even dip them. Would not recommend ordering these.

    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.

    Pho Cali is definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the area. We always order the…read moreshrimp spring rolls to start, and I usually get the half chicken plate, which is always flavorful and cooked perfectly. My kids love the bánh mì sandwiches, and the catfish is another standout dish that we highly recommend. The food is consistently authentic, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh. One bonus is that they offer a discount if you pay with cash. Overall, it's one of our favorite spots for Vietnamese food, and we always leave satisfied.

    This is one of the few restaurants around that stays open between 3-5pm. I came for a very late…read morelunch around 3:30. They did have a fairly good number of customers during that time, perhaps for that very reason. It's a basic storefront restaurant in a strip shopping center. Nothing too unique or special, and it is clean. Parking is readily available so that shouldn't be an issue. Service is good. Again, nothing that one wouldn't expect for this type of place. I had a hunger for a sandwich, a Vietnamese one! Banh Mi. They had five basic types and I got the grilled pork. I tend to like a tofu, but that wasn't an option. We started with won tons for an appetizer. They were deep fried to a crisp. The sandwich was just OK, like everything else here. nothing special. I thought bread was a bit stale, not like I've had elsewhere. The sandwich also didn't pack mucn flavor. Overall it satisfied the hunger yet I doubt this is the high point of the menu. If I go again I'll try a Pho or a Rice Dish. I suspect they're better.

This takes me to their Folsom location which opened its doors back in late-2021. Situated in a decent sized outdoor strip mall with a mix of boutiques and retail business, this Huong Lan is located directly off of East Bidwell St and adjacent to Wales Dr. Parking is fairly easy to find on any given day and they have very reasonable hours of operation being open weekdays from 10am-9pm and weekends from 10am-8pm. Since I live in the suburbs, this location is actually easier for me and is very convenient for those that live in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and other neighboring communities. One really unique thing about this location is that they have a drive-thru for those that don't wish to exit their vehicles. However, if you're not in a rush, I do recommend dining inside as the interior dining area is quite open, inviting, and spacious. And one really positive thing about this location is that they are not nearly as busy as their other locations. More often than not, I am waiting in line (sometimes up to 30 minutes) just to place an order at the South Sacramento location. I also noticed how much of a variety this location offers including 15 different Bánh Mì variations, Phở, noodle soups, Vermicelli bows, rice plates, and a nice assortment of appetizers. They also carry several types of pearl teas, milk teas, and boba drinks. At this location, I literally entered the restaurant, walked up to the front counter, and placed my order. I ended up coming here during the afternoon on Saturday 5/30/2026 at around 2:00pm. My Bánh Mì sandwich of choice was their B7 "Grilled Pork" aka "Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng" and was priced at $9.25 (after tax). After making my payment, I sat down and within 5 minutes, my sandwich was brought out to me. I am going to be honest with everything, the bread was soft while the veggies (cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and daikon) were all laid out very proportionally. But what this Bánh Mì was seriously lacking was the grilled pork! I love a good Bánh Mì sandwich but just ONE strip of pork? C'mon guys, I've been to your other locations and they have been very generous with the proteins. However, everything tasted great and I will still give this place an above average rating based on the service, location, ambiance, quality/freshness of food, and overall experience. I also wanted to add that the inside was very clean and sanitary while the public restroom was spotless. When you factor in a very spacious interior with a convenient drive-thru at the exterior and a pleasant dining experience in a quiet part of town, I am giving the Folsom "Huong Lan" location a respectable and above average four stars.
