I think the rating that this restaurant has is very fair! I would have to say that I agree and the food here is pretty good. It's definitely satisfying and we will probably return. However, there are a few things that I didn't like so much... Since moving to Sacramento, I have been looking for a good fresh spring roll that does not contain shrimp. I have found some decent ones but they are always lacking something. At this restaurant, I ordered the tofu and salmon rolls. Overall, the tofu roll tasted pretty good. They are big and filling. I just wish I could taste the mint that is supposed to be in them...I feel like mint would have given the rolls a much needed freshness. The peanut sauce it came with had a nice texture but it was bland...I've definitely had better peanut sauce. It just needed more of everything...including the peanut flavor. The salmon roll was interesting. This, I probably will not get again. The salmon is like a salmon cake or salmon patty. It has the salmon flavor but the texture is pretty odd and tough. It also had whole pieces of chives in them...seemingly stem and all. Parts of the chives were so hard and difficult to chew through. The highlight of this roll is that it came with a chili sauce, which tasted pretty good. I was surprised. It wasn't syrupy like other chili sauces, which I liked and had a strong garlic flavor, which I also liked. My husband ordered pho. He loves pho and usually doesn't have anything bad to say about any of it. He said this was "up there" for him. It didn't come with as many fillers, which most Vietnamese restaurants provide, but he really liked the meat (steak) that it came with stating it was soft and flavorful. We ordered delivery. Everything arrived well-packaged, timely and hot...even the spring rolls, which I hadn't had before but it didn't take away from their crispness or flavor. read more

4.5 stars-- this place definitely lived up to the hype I've heard from one of my friends! It's located in the plaza of Walgreens, there's a lot of parking spots available. Came around 5:45 on a Sunday and it was packed! Had a party of 7 and got seated immediately though. All the soups come in a medium-large bowl. I was kind of skeptical about the price though since it is a little bit pricey than your average pho bowl.. I know why now! The quality of the meat is so good and tender. I also like how the server offered us an side bowl of broth to dip the rest of our meat in! Thanks for that! My boyfriend and I ordered P2 (Pho Dac Biet) and S1 (Bun Bo Hue). My little brother ordered a grilled pork banh mi with no jalapeños and no daikon. He enjoyed it, however on the other half of his sandwich there were a lot of jalapeños on it that he had to pick out. The portions of everything was just the right amount to be satisfied. We both enjoyed our meal! We also tried out the Lychee Lemonade which was hella good also. Definitely refreshing and not your typical lychee jelly drink, there's actual bits of lychee in it. Service was nice when taking our orders! Kind of lacked water refills but they were pretty busy so I can understand. Overall I would come back again! read more

First time eating at this place. We were on our way home from Lake Tahoe and was looking for some good soup after driving through the snow. We're me were greeted and sat right away. The servers were attentive and friendly. The dining area was nicely decorated and clean. We ordered p3 and p5. Broth was delicious. It is served with flat noodles. Meat ratio was good. My toddler enjoyed the soup very much. read more

OMG! First time here but most certainly not the last. I had their H1. Hu Tieu Dac Biet Specialty and it was beyond awesome! I usually go to a Pho place in my town 50 miles away and I never thought I could find better Pho. Was I wrong! I work about 2 miles from this place and I was craving Pho so I figured I would check it out (preparing to be disappointed, mind you). Oh boy! There is most definitely a new frontrunner in the Pho category and it's Pho Bistro! The place looks clean, service was prompt and pleasant, and the whole experience was just awesome. Price was more than reasonable and portion was quite generous. I highly recommend this place! read more

Family favorite when one is craving some pho. The broth is clear and flavorful. The employees are friendly and efficient. Your food comes out hot and quick. Smaller place but still has a good open seating. It is usually packed on the weekends especially on a cold day when soup is what's for dinner. read more

First off, I love the food. This is about a recent DoorDash order picked up on a Sunday afternoon. It was about as busy as a normal good Sunday lunch spot would be. They have a sign on the door that says do not come in until your order has been confirmed ready in the app. Ok, went back to my car to wait as the order isn't quite ready yet. About 15 minutes pass and still no confirmation. (I've had this happen before so I knew what I was looking for). I went ahead and went inside and there was a long line of food ready to be picked up, mine included. I was not mad or anything but simply told them my app never said anything was confirmed. The young lady working the counter said it is a DoorDash problem and instantly started helping the next customer. Barely even looked at me. I said it seems to be a YOU problem because you have a sign on the door that says don't come in and a line of food behind you. I had to leave because I was late for the delivery obviously but I think this is something management should know since she didn't seem to think this was an issue that should be escalated. Five Stars, keep up the good work... read more

I haven't been here, personally, but some friends brought like three dishes back to share with me. I didn't do the ordering so can't tell you the names is the dishes, but here's the run down. - Vermicelli noodles with BBQ pork - was bland and doesn't have the charbroiled flavor you would expect. I also don't care for the seasoning on the bbq pork. Like too much fermented soy or give spice. - pho - had deep shrimp flavor in the broth, but I didn't like the flavor much. - some sort of fat clear noodle with meat. Good texture. Interesting flavor. IMO the food is just so-so. My friend didn't like it at all. Bummer. I was looking forward to trying this place for a while. read more

Best Vietnamese food I've ever had! Service is always very fast! My favorite spot to go to!

Best pho in town. So delicious!!! I love the spring rolls and the rib eye pho. Their recipe has so much flavor!!!

Stopped in with my kiddos and As we are sitting here eating we are amazed at how amazing everything tastes. The service is quick and the server is nice. Cute little bistro. Would definitely recommend and come back to when ever I'm here from Roseville lol read more

The pho was very mediocre. Very disappointing service. We did show up 45 mins before closing but they were ready to usher us out the door. Impatiently asking us to order as we sat down. If you have to close early that's fine, just tell us and turn the open sign off then. First restaurant we have ever been to that oddly offers bottled water only and with a charge, of course. No plans to return to this restaurant. read more

We come here at least once a week we love the Pho Dac Biet with Bones! (P1) and the service is always super quick! Honorable mention to the chicken wings and egg rolls! Bun Bo Hue has good flavor but I won't lie and say it's my favorite ever, still pretty great when you're craving it though! ps. bring your own water bottle or be prepared to pay for a bottle of water, which is like $0.25 I think so not bad but just a heads up! read more

This has become my go-to place for pho in Elk Grove. Their pho broth is clear but deep with savory beef flavor. They also give you a lot of meat. Tastes like the pho my dad would cook on the weekends, the kind of pho that makes you sweat on a hot day but you'll gulp it down anyway bc it's that good. If you order their special with a side of beef ribs, the ribs are actually tasty, tender, and actually edible unlike the hunk of hard and dry meat they give you at some places. It's worth the price upgrade. I also had their bun bo hue here, and finally after so many years I finally found a place that does the broth right outside of the Bay Area. Other places in Sac/Elk Grove are too sweet for me. Portion is also humongous! The only downside to this place is that they don't have free water...Only water bottles you have to purchase. That's ok. Gives me an excuse to order their delicious Thai ice tea so it's all good. Restaurant is small with no waiting space, so when it gets crowded it's swamped in there. I've only had good experiences with the service here. They've been nice and courteous and prompt. Overall, come here for pho and tear into their rib bone! You'll come away an addict. read more

Pho Bistro is Pho-nominal!!! I get Vietnamese food a lot and this place is delicious, fast, safe for Covid and I can't recommend more highly! My husband and I went there last week and I had the caramelized pork belly banh mi to which I added a fried egg. The bread on this sandwich was insane. Soft, fluffy and hugged all the ingredients and absorbed the sauces. I ordered a lychee lemonade and loved how it was such a unique and refreshing blend and helped tame my need to always get extra jalapeños and burn my mouth off. My husband got the shrimp and grilled pork rice plate and a Thai tea. Both were great, classic versions. All food was cooked fresh and packaged to go in 10 minutes. I highly recommend you check it out and I'll see you there! read more

we ordered the pho dac biet & hu tieu. both were delicious & the portion sizes are very generous. i have been craving pho & this bowl meets all of my criteria: tender meat, soft noodles, flavorful broth. the hu tieu is also amazing & we would come back frequently for it. the service here is great & we always feel welcomed. our server today was the kindest woman & i would revisit this place just for the comforting atmosphere. the place is very neat & bathroom is also clean. they also have several fans running so it wasn't too hot for a bowl of soup despite it being above 100°F outside. overall, this is a solid spot for viet food cravings & i would highly recommend! read more

Okay, I LOVE pho. I love trying all pho but this one is by FAR the best! I usually mix the ponzu sauce to make it alittle sweeter. But the Broth here is DELICIOUS on its own! Honestly the BEST classic pho rib eye I've ever had, never adding anything else. I go here a few times a month. On a cold day I crave this the most! And the Service here is quick! read more

Had a fantastic meal at Pho Bistro on Friday with my family of six! We ordered Bun Bo Hue, Hu Tieu, Bun Rieu, Pho Bistro Dac Biet, spring rolls, and crab cream cheese--everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to Anh for her excellent service as always, was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back! read more

Went there because we saw a video on instagram, it was not up to par as the video described but overall it was ok - normal pho location.

I got the P1 dish, pho with beef bones. Don't get me wrong, the pho and broth was really good. However, I don't think it's worth $20 if you want to get the beef ribs. At first glance, it looks like it would be full beef ribs with meat. However, when we flipped the beef ribs around some of the meat has been cut off and only a little bit of meat. Literally 2 bites. I would recommend others to not even bother getting the beef ribs because you will be disappointed. It's not worth the $5-$7 because it's so tiny and not that much meat. Just get the P2. Or if you really want that full beef bone with the actual meat, drive 5 mins down the road to Pho Sit Lo. If I ever come back, I will get P2 instead. read more

My to-go spot for Pho in Elk Grove. The portions are generous, its at a good location, and the lady with Silver hair always greets you with a smile. The highlight though, are no other than the pork spring rolls. Not only are they almost as twice as big compared to other places, the taste isn't something that I could really describe with words, you have to come try it out for yourself to really know it. Its just next level. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Pho Bistro is legit. You know it's legit when it's packed w/ all Asians and an occasional white guy w/ the Asian girlfriend. LOL. The broth is soooo good you really don't need to put any sauce in it.

I ordered for pick up. When I arrived I was greeted by a friendly smile and offered me a seat while I waited. I was then asked if I would like water since it was so hot outside. I declined since I could tell they were busy and didnt want to add to it. Less than 5 minutes later she comes out with my food and thanks me for being so patient and gives me water while saying "please here is water it is very hot!. Not only was the service above and beyond but the portions were huge and hands down one of the best vermacelli bowls I have ever had!! I will make my drive from Lodi to come again. read more

Great food. One of my favorite pho spots in the area. Unfortunately the bill always comes out higher than expected and as menu states. It wasn't until I read another Yelp review that I realized that they charge a hidden 4% credit card fee. This isn't stated in the menus or anywhere else I can tell. My $18.95 bowl turns out to be $19.71... lack of transparency is a good way to lose business. Now I'm hesitant to return. read more

Came upon this corner restaurant through recommendations from friends and family and it did not disappoint. Was craving for pho and ordered the P1 special with side of ribs. The broth was tasty and the meats were all tender. The egg rolls were a perfect appetizer complement. The caramelized pork belly banh mi with fried egg was a welcome delight and I would definitely go back and order it again. read more

Pho was on point. Even tried the famous lychee lemonade (a must try). Ordered the P2 Pho with no tripe. The broth was light, flavorful and delightful. My order of pho included beef eye round, rare beef, a beef ball sliced in half, beef fatty brisket and tendon. Huge portion it lasted two meals! read more

Very happy with Pho Bistro. Our food came out quickly. For the price, I wished there were more noodles, but it made up for the amount of sliced beef. Some of the best I've had in a while! Iced Coffee had a strong taste and was very good. read more

Our favorite Pho and Bun Bo Hue spot! All noodle soups come out super hot and flavorful. You know it's good when you see customers from different backgrounds every time you come in. My only wish is that they would expand so there can be more seating, but judging by the number is staff they have, they probably know they can't handle more than what they currently have. Their Pho broth is always so flavorful that I never have to add extra seasoning. My husband love their bun Bo hue and the meatballs they put in their are ! I also appreciate the Costco bottled water over free tap. I'd much rather pay for a bottled water and be able to easily carry it out to the car with me to drink later. They are usually very fast with their service too so you never have to wait super long to be served. Definitely worth every penny! read more

Friendly service & great food. Greatly enjoyed the rib pho! Also, the shrimp spring rolls are delicious

Elk Grove got a good one with this place. Great portions. Great food. Got the pho with the thinly sliced beef in it. Came with a chill water bottle. It was good. The flavor was there. The meat was tender. Can't go wrong if you in Elk Grove and want some pho. read more

Pho bistro was my go to for some good fresh spring rolls and bun. Today when I was midway through eating my spring roll, I noticed a thick strand of hair in my spring roll and had to throw my food away. I also paid for extra sauce and when I got home, The sauce was not in the bag. After seeing the strand of hair in my food, I will not be able to eat from this establishment any longer read more

** BRING YOUR OWN WATER, they don't offer complimentary water! ** 50 cents for bottled water is what the server said. + Pho came out really hot, that's always great. + Chili oil was pretty spicy... don't underestimate it like I did LOL. It's not dark red like I'm used to, so I thought it wasn't gonna be that spicy. + BBH has the right amount of spice. - Water isn't free. - Chicken pho has a sweeter broth than I'm used to. I personally don't like it, so I didn't enjoy my pho too much. - The garnishes for pho isn't a big amount at all. They were on tiny plates, so don't expect much. Overall... I think it's a no from me, dawg. Couldn't get over the sweet tasting chicken pho. I appreciate how hot the pho comes out though! read more

They close at 8 but don't go in after 7. They will seat you down but then rush you out as fast as they can telling you kitchen is closing. Then why seat us down? We had some food allergies and they totally dropped the ball and sent us food with what we told them we were allergic to. read more

Great place for Pho and various Vietnam dishes! The quality of food is good with great portion sizes. The restaurant is clean with plenty of indoor seating. Service is good as well. read more

The ambiance is curious. You cannot get tap water, only paid-bottled water. Tea by the cup, not a pot. The grilled shrimp has no grill marks but looks boiled and has an odd orange sauce. The service was inconsistent: no beverage refills offered, salt shaker was empty, 3 paper napkins given for a table of four. Shrimp spring rolls were ordered and they came with plastic wrap on them. All these little things seemed out of touch with common restaurant practice. read more

They charge $0.50 for water :(. Are we in Europe?! I don't think I've ever been charged for water here in the US. Ugh, but besides that they're good. It's super close to me, so my family orders from there fairly often. They had pho, banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates. Overall, a relatively small menu though. read more

Our normal go-to Vietnamese restaurant, Pho Le, was closed. We decided to give Pho Bistro a chance. We ordered pork vermicelli noodles with an eggroll. The portions were reasonable. Some of the pork pieces had a little bit more fat than preferred, but the flavor was still good. I'm happy we tried them out. read more

I typically come here for their rice plates (all are god send and delicious, albeit the pork can be a bit fatty sometimes). The pho here has been solid and a life saver, but the flank meat can sometimes be a bit too tough and chewy. If you decide to order the rib with the pho, you won't regret that though. IT IS DELICOUS. The broth itself is also delectable, but sometimes I find myself also adding some sriracha and hoisin into it. The Vietnamese coffee here is also well balanced. It's not too strong on just coffee flavor. I would advise against the sandwiches here however. I have found the bread to be too dry each time I order it. If you want you can pair it with a soup and dip it (3 dollars for a side bowl of just the soup), but I think it's best to skip it. Personally, this is my favorite Pho spot in Elk Grove. They are close to me, fast with service, and I always walk away satisfied. Please note that they will not provide you anything to drink but you can buy water for a dollar there. Bring your own drink or buy something they have to offer. read more
