    One of our favorite spots that my husband and I keep coming back to whenever we're in town. The food is consistently solid, food always comes out hot, flavorful, and comforting. The broth has that slow-simmered taste that makes it feel like a real go-to, not just a quick meal. Their menu is simple & not overwhelming, yet still offer many dishes. The service is another reason we don't really stray elsewhere. The staff are always friendly without being overbearing, and they check in at the right times. Orders come out pretty quick, even when it's busy. They keep it organized & running smoothly. It's a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere, nothing too flashy but clean and welcoming with ample of parking spaces available. Not to mention they can also accommodate larger groups. Overall, it's chef kiss. We shall return!

    Round steak and meatballs pho

    Okay this place has been in our backyard for years and I don't know why this is the first time we've tried it, it's so good and their portions are great! And maybe we went here before but it's been for sure at least 3 years since any recollection can be made haha Anyway- Hubby and I went for a quick lunch date, ordered 2 pho bowls- he got the thinly sliced rib eye steak. And I got the round steak with meatballs The bowls are $15/$16 each Huge bowls Had to take mine to go The broth is filtered really well and tastes clean The soup comes out hot The meat is good quality They have the hoisin and sriracha right there for you Service is friendly And the dining experience is casual - you walk in and they're you sit where you want Will definitely be coming back!

    Solid spot for both pho & banh mi with reasonable prices, generous portions, good flavors, and quick service. It's a small-medium sized casual spot good for a chill meal.

    Number 11 broth on the side  Asked for clear noodles which I really liked

    Had lunch on a Thursday with 6 friends a little wait for the table it wasn't so bad. Place has only a few tables but everything looked clean and inviting. We ordered A variety of dishes and 2 appetizers. The pork eggrolls were outstanding crispy on the outside with flavorable filling. I had a noodle dish sorry don't know the name But really enjoyed it I asked for clear noodles it had ground pork and shrimp and all The aromatics went for the soup on the side which is so much better as you can control The amount of broth. I just remember it was the number 11 and listed as a speciality and it certainly was. Looking foward to coming in again.

    Bun Bo Hue

    Good service. The Bun Bo Hue came out pretty fast. BBH lack in flavor it's not spicy and it's missing the pig foot

    Went in for a banh mi at lunch just now to go. The sandwich was made quickly and so fresh. Wow. This pork belly banh mi is amazing. 10/10. Their sauce. The pickled veggies. The pork belly and soft bread. All of it. Delicious. $10 and some change. Pretty fair to not have to drive to the south. I'd like to try more Sandwiches next time. Service was quick and friendly.

    Came here for the Bun Rieu based on a friends recommendation. And I'm happy to say it did not disappoint! The portion was huge, I couldn't finish and took the rest home. The remainder of my leftovers filled the entire to-go full container! Love all the different things that's included, especially the pork blood. My husband ordered their pho dac biet but was disappointed that the broth was way too sweet and a bit too salty as well. The noodles in the pho weren't good either. I'd stuck to the bun rieu for this place. I didn't like the bathroom experience, it's at the end of a long narrow hallway that's crowded with stuff, so there's not enough room for when people are walking in the opposite direction. And the bathroom itself was kinda gross.

    We were craving some Vietnamese noodle soups, and I especially wanted to try their pho (my go-to item). The overall bow was a decent sized portion. The broth tasted both a little too salty and a little too sweet, and the noodles were slightly undercooked. The staff were friendly and attentive and made sure we were checked in on every so often. Overall, the food was decent, but not the best.

    Wendy F.

    Came on a week day, still were pretty busy and filled with people. Decent sized pho and pretty tasty too. Lots of flavor in the broth. Probably one of my top pho places in the area. Staff were super friendly and there were a ton of tables to sit at. Can get lively inside and it's a great place for families too

    Franklin x Laguna I went in the late afternoon when the lunch rush was dwindling. It's a small restaurant. I was seated, ordered and I wasn't a fan of the Pho Chay. I didn't like it because the vegetables were overcooked/mushy and it's a prominent component of the soup. I don't know if that's normal here but that's what I got. Service was good. When I was done, I got up and paid at the counter.

    The big three B's here (the BBB): Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and Banh Mi Xiu Mai are my go-to items. Soupwise, the broth of the bowls has good depth of flavor, perfect portion size and the accompanying veggie tray has all the right herbs. BBH for instance, has a generous portion of authentic pork blood and ultra tender beef slices; the addition of a small spoon of hot chili oil rounds it all out. Banh Mi Xiu mai is Vietnamese meat balls in tomatoey red sauce that pairs heavenly with the crunchy crusted french bread. On another note, the egg rolls, though crispy, contain an oily taste that does not agree with me so I am not a fan of that one. The fresh springs rolls on the other hand, are great. Servers - ultra nice and accommodating. Dining room is kept in reasonable order and generally clean each time I have visited. Pho Bistro is now a place I frequent when craving the BBB.

    Fast, tasty and comes with service with a smile. Can't go wrong with Pho Bistro! Yes, this place stays busy but trust that your food will come fast, fresh and hot once you are seated. They are generous with their portions and doesn't disappoint in taste. My husband loves this place and so do I. We make it a point to come here, not just to have a great meal but to support the business. This restaurant was one of the restaurant that provided excellent service during the Covid Era and I will always remember how they treated the Healthcare workers and how they extended their business during trying times. I pray for continued success and blessings.

    Hu tieu - bland, cardboard tasting - wish the server asked what noodles I wanted instead of serving me up this hot mess.
    Lisa C.

    Ordered their pho tai bo vien - it's whatever, a little on the salty side. Their hu tieu was pretty tasteless. Server didn't ask me what noodles I wanted, I thought it would come with egg noodles and/or fat chow fun noodles but instead I got a massive amount of just dry bland pho noodles. Pretty disappointed.

I ordered #2 Lamb Hot Pot and hubby got #9 Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot both with medium spice. I personally did not experience much spice at this level so I will probably get very spicy next time. We also added the mala skewers which is my husband's favorite and again this is not available at all locations. Did not have to wait too long for our hot pot but did have to wait a little longer for the skewers. I do see this as a good sign as it hints they're not pre-made. Great assortment of skewers with generous mala sauce and flavor. Hot pot is packed with ingredients with generous serving out meat. I can finish the entire thing but if you have a smaller appetite you might want to share. I recommend asking for noodles on the side as it risks them getting soggy.

The drinks ... top notch. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was their pho. The broth was a little bland and took a lot of me seasoning for my partner. I understand because it is Elk Grove and they have to cater to different palettes. The chili oil was also not spicy and looked like a mixture of the Chinese red chili. As a southeast Asian who loves spice, that was a little disappointing. Other than that, everything else was great. I peeked over at someone's vermicelli noodles and I will def have to try that soon.

Believe me, I've been wanting to try their pho as well, but every single time, their BBH speaks to me. Simply put, it is a comforting hug in a bowl, filled generously with tender slices of meat, homemade meatballs, cha, pork blood cubes, and al dente noodles, all topped off with piping hot broth. It is served with a mountain of fresh herbs, and I always add extra chili oil and sate (that they keep in the fridge) for that extra oomph of flavor. While this location does not serve their BBH with a pork hock, I really don't care at all, because of how cohesive their bowls are every single time. Those homemade meatballs are really an element of the dish that I have not found at any other restaurants, even at BBH restaurants in the bay. Located right off Grant Line in the Sheldon area of Elk Grove, the restaurant is not big, but still has ample seating. The private parking lot has never been full when I've eaten there, but I also have never gone on a weekend. I usually enjoy coming when they very first open, and am always seated immediately. During lunch rush, I have noticed it can get pretty busy, with patrons dining in and to go orders alike. The owner is so nice and I rarely even look at the menu since I always know what I want. I don't usually order drinks as I like to get matcha in Elk Grove, but the one time I got a Thai tea, it was perfectly balanced with a good strength to it. Their menu on the whole is small, but still varied, so there is something for everyone's cravings. If you follow their Facebook page, they will announce weekend specials as well, so stay tuned for those. One day I swear I will try their pho, but for now, Pholicious is one of my top spots for BBH in the Sacramento area. I love supporting family-run businesses, and wish them nothing but continued success!

    We went to Ember recently because we just came back from Seoul and had some awesome Beef Belly and…read morehad a craving. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. So my kid somehow dropped her AirPod case on the floor and poof BOTH of her AirPods disappeared ‍‍. Everyone scoured the floors and searched the cameras and looked in all the nooks and crannies. Nothing . I called 2 days later to see if they found them... they hadn't. THEN about 15 minutes later, they called me and they found them!! IN THE BOOTH! New theory, the kid somehow took her AirPods out of the case and had them on the seat and got distracted (as teens with delicious food in front of them tend to do) and the AirPods fell into some hole on the booth before her case even fell on the ground. ‍‍‍ Either way... major thanks for taking the time to dismantle to booth and find them! They didn't have to but they did! Saved me $89*2 for replacements and saved my kid from having to continue to face my disappointed mom face.

    First the good: the rib finger meat was pretty good, I like the tenderness with a slight chewiness…read more Flavor was good in the marinade. We ordered this a few times during dinner. The La galbi had good flavor as well. The soy garlic beef belly was okay, not bad but nothing set it apart. The banchan apps were good but the japchae was was really good to me. The kimchi was bland tho, made me sad because I love good kimchi. The bad: soda machine was light on a couple sodas I ordered. Later on in the meal they reset the root beer soda so I really appreciate the service for that. The vent hood was really low and blocked cooking at times but we understand why it's there. Some dishes were a bit odd like the popcorn chicken, which was mostly crumbs like the bottom of a movie popcorn bucket. Service was solid, Brandon our server was nice and gave us good recommendations. We would return and hopefully I can give them more stars on my next visit.
