Sacramento, if you're craving authentic Vietnamese comfort food, Quan Nem Ninh Hoa is a must-visit!…read more We loaded up on their legendary Nem Nuong Cuon--perfectly grilled pork sausage pre-rolled with that signature killer crunch (we added noodles to take it to the next level). Pair it with a rich, flavorful bowl of Mi Quang, and you're in food heaven. Try their bun cha ca, vermicelli noodles w fish cake super light and excellent broth! I also like their banh xeo here, very crispy and the right amount of veggies. PRO-TIP YOU NEED TO TRY: Don't sleep on their appetizer menu! Stop by TK Noodles down the street first, grab some chicharrones to-go, and sprinkle them right on top of the Banh Beo here. Total game changer! Try something else besides pho, I love pho but Vietnamese cuisine has many distinct soup dishes when you factor in regional variations, unique broths, and different noodle types. If you look past phở, Vietnamese soups generally fall into a few massive, distinct categories based on how the broth is built and what kind of noodle is used.

House Special #1 for two: The house special came with heaping pieces of nem nuong, but the dipping…read moresauce was so gloopy... the flavors overall were quite muted and really lacked the exciting flavor and zing I'm used to from Vietnamese cuisine. The dipping sauce lacked flavor and the color was a bit off-putting. For ~$4 a roll, I was hoping for more. Banh Hoi Chao Tom: There was a crispy exterior to my chao tom, but it definitely looked way different than I know chao tom to be. I'm used to the sugarcane inside the patty to infuse it with the sweetness and aroma, but here my sugarcane sticks were kinda just laying there on my plate (lol). There also isn't much shrimp in the mixture so the chao tom truly lacked excitement. There was no complexity of flavor.. just crispy-ness which carried the dish. Overall, 4/10.

We were seated between the counter and the entrance. It's your typical pho restaurant setup, with utensils, sauces, and napkins conveniently available at the table for self-service. The menu offers a nice variety of appetizers, rice plates, and pho, with plenty of options to choose from. After our group placed our order, the pho arrived first, while the rice plates followed shortly afterward. The prices are reasonable, and the food was satisfying. They accept both cash and credit cards, and if you pay with cash, they offer a 3.75% discount on your total bill. Overall, it's a solid neighborhood pho spot. While I wouldn't make a special trip just to eat here, I'd happily return if I were in the area.

I usually come for lunch and it looks like they've made some changes. Lunch is takeout style but you are able to eat in their restaurant, if desired. Menu is smaller, prices slightly cheaper but also reflected in smaller portions. If looking for full service and larger portions, I would recommend coming for dinner. They also have this ?secret sauce. It looks and tastes like roasted garlic in a red chili oil. It pairs so good with their chili sauce and beef pho. I recommend asking to try this special sauce.

We felt transported back to Vietnam when we sipped the sugarcane and calamansi juice. If they have it (listed seasonal on the menu), try it! We also got nem cuon (not pictured) and the portion was generous and warm. I love their dipping sauce too. The broken rice plates also remind me of the places my mom took me to in Westminster and Garden Grove growing up. The accompaniments(hanh mo), whole Thai chilies, and chicken broth are signs of the authenticity. Meats are marinated and grilled nicely too. Everything is so so good. Support this place and family. They're great and kind!

Came here because of the strong Yelp reviews, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. We ordered the combo pho, and the broth was surprisingly bland & lacking the depth and richness you'd expect. The meat was tough, there was barely any tripe, and no tendon at all, which was disappointing for a "combo." I also requested less noodles, but that adjustment was mistakenly given to my husband's bowl instead. Not a huge issue on its own, but it added to the overall experience. That said, the menu offers a wide variety of broken rice dishes, so it seems like that might be more of their specialty. If I were to return, I'd probably try one of those instead of the pho.

Highlight was probably the spring roll and peanut sauce. A lot of places water down their peanut sauce, but this place has it right for me Service was fast and ambiance was awesome as well.

It needed to be spicier, and the only chili option was a thai chili no chili oil on the table. I also got the vermicelli platter and the meat was well seasoned, and nuoc mam wasn't plain.

The place itself was well decorated and although it looks like a hole in the wall outside its so cute inside.

They give very generous portions, I especially like how much fresh vegetables they give. The pork doesn't have too much fat and cooked with the perfect amount of seasoning. They also have rice or salad boxes as well. Their chicken wings are also good. They're always crispy and tastes so good! I like to call in my order and it's also ready by the time I'm there to pick up. They're always super friendly. This location is smaller than the Florin Rd location, but they do have tables for you to dine in if you'd like.

Really wanted to try banh cuon (Vietnamese stuffed rice rolls) so we came in for the first time. We…read morecame in as a party of 3 for Friday lunch and was promptly seated. We ordered the #1 Cha Gio (fried egg rolls), #11 Banh Cuon Tay Ho Dac Biet (combination flour sheet/roll), and #54 Banh Xeo Can't go wrong with the cha gio. We mixed our fish sauce with the chili sauce and this was so good. I wish it came with a little bit more veggies as I like to lettuce wrap my cha gio. Banh Cuon combo plate was also very good but the banh cuon was absolutely the best part - next time I would just order a plate of only the rice rolls! Banh Xeo took a bit longer to come out but it was very large and seemed like a popular menu item as we saw other tables order this. This is a savory Vietnamese pancake/crepe packed with veggies and shrimp and pork. Veggies and herbs were plentiful here - a bit messy to eat but so good! Service was okay - our orders were taken in a timely manner and food came out promptly. Only thing is that we were never checked up on and we had to walk up to the counter to settle the bill. I'll definitely be back for the banh cuon!

The food quality is great, they have a good amount of vegetarian options available, and the drinks are also as good as the food. The staff have also always been really nice and helpful the times I've come. My friends and I have come here for birthday dinners, graduation celebrations, and friend dinner dates. Most recently my friend and I tried their new lemonade and limeades. I got the passionfruit lemonade and she got the ginger lemonade and they were fantastic. The prices are good here especially if you and your group eat family style and share plates.

I'm not sure how long this restaurant has been open but it was our first time here. We decided to…read moreeat here because we saw on the reviews that they had ox tail soup and bun rieu ( crab noodle soup). It appears the restaurant mainly serves seafood. As there are a lot of seafood options. However there is hotpot options and other noodle and rice dishes as well. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio. Inside has spacious table seating, some with booth and good lighting inside. There was ballad vietnamese music video playing. The restaurant was not busy and there were elderly men at the tables playing cards and some at another table they were chatting & drinking. Im not sure if they hold karaoke or have live bands but there is a stage with music instruments and a projector with installed party lights. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted right away. It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.

The person i talked to was nice though in his explanations. But i wanted to eat. If you're looking to go there, call first and make sure they are open and that you can dine it.

I got a chicken banh mi with the garlic bread and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! The sandwich was stuffed with toppings and the bread tasted and it's texture felt so fresh. The amount in the sandwich for the price point is such a steal. I wish they had something like this in the area I live in because I would absolutely be a regular. Service: Great! The man who took my order had such a positive attitude and he was very quick too. Ambiance: Love how there are a bunch of other foods inside so you can roam around and see all the other foods they make before you order. The layout reminded me a lot of Lee's Sandwiches! Overall, this banh mi would be something I crave and I truly do not think you can't beat the value of this sandwich. Would love to come back here when I'm back in Sac!
