    H1. Shrimp Crab Paste Tomato Noodle Soup / Bún Rieu, 虾蟹肉酸汤米粉 (small)
    Jenny Y.

    I've been seeing videos of the Bun Rieu on my social media so I was excited to finally try it. Unfortunately, it's was only ok. It was a little on the sour side and the broth lacked flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly though. We also ordered salt and pepper chicken wings, but it was dry. The service was a bit slow, but they did apologize and explained it was because they got the orders in all at once.

    Charbroiled pork over rice

    My parents love Vietnamese duck noodle soup, along with pork intestines and blood sausages. After doing some research on Yelp, I found this place. We arrived around 2pm on a Friday and there was only one other customer. Initially, my parents tried to order in Vietnamese but it seems like this place is a Chinese owned restaurant and they don't speak Vietnamese. Therefore, we communicated with them in Cantonese. We ordered 3 duck noodle soups, pork blood sausage & liver heart, and charbroiled pork over rice. As for flavor, the duck noodle soup was just okay. The soup was lightly seasoned and the duck was super chewy and dry. My daughter's rice dish had thinly sliced pork that was so dry that it tasted like jerky. No comment on the pork blood sausage & liver heart appetizer. Since I'm not into organs, I didn't try it. My dad had to use the restroom and was told that the restroom was outside the restaurant. When my dad came back, he said it looked like a communal restroom for the whole building and it was super dirty. Parking is plentiful. Customer service is great but the food is definitely lacking.

    H5. Bun Cha Dong Xuan
    john h.

    I watched the Anthony Bourdain Vietnam episode where he ate with president Obama and I had to eat what they had. So I came here and ordered the Bun Cha Dong Xuan, pork meatballs with vermicelli noodles. It was excellent, very simple and down to earth. The service was good, they did not bring the check so I just went up to the register and paid. The ambience was typical Viet/Pho restaurant.

    bun rieu

    A hidden gem out in the open! Loyal people have been coming here for 30 years I hear and although I'm late to the game, I'll def be eating here for the next 30 years. I've ordered the Bun cha Hanoi style several times! Its a warm noodle dish deconstructed with powerful savory and tangy notes served with a healthy serving of herbs and veggies. This dish originated from the capital of Vietnam which is Hanoi. For this dish. every ingredient is served separated and you can essentially put together your soup anyway and any style you want to. 2nd dish on mind but tied for number 1 in my heart is the Bun Rieu. Its served super piping hot and I mean steam clouds burn your lips hot and its the chefs kiss perfect remedy for a cold stormy winter weekend. Its savory flavored from a pork base, some definite tangyness from the tomatoes and a hit of crab which somehow all mixes together to completely confuse the mind outta me but convincingly makes sense in the mouth. Taste buds got smacked with some unexpected complexity for sure. I want moaar. They've also amped up their decor with a recent remodel and their menu has been updated too. I haven't tried everything ...yet. But i will def be back for more. Two Yumz up. =d

    Great service! Food came out in a timely manner. The food tasted like each dish was made with care. The flavor of the grilled pork was the highlight of the visit + texture of pho noodles is perfectly glutinous! Underrated Vietnamese restaurant in Sac's Little Saigon.

    Pretty good bun rieu! It's a little more on the tomato-ey and sweet side but still yummy. Portion is very generous. Friendly service. My daughter loved their fried chicken!

    H1. Bun Rieu
    Angelica H.

    I felt bad that I came here 30 minutes before closing but I needed to try their $11 bun rieu while I was still in town. I have to say it's the best I've tried in Sac and I've been to different places in the area. The $11 small bowl of bun rieu filled me up. I also appreciated that the service was great despite that I came in close to closing. I highly recommend this spot specifically for their bun rieu.

    I ordered beef chow fun dry no vegetables. This lady brings out gravy seafood chow fun. Took it back and still made it gravy beef chow fun!! The amount of gravy or whatever that was I had to pour it out...At this point I'm not making my son wait any longer. I told the lady for future reference the chow fun needs to be fixed because it was so bland. My son barely touched it. And she had the nerve to say why didn't you tell me you wanted it dry! I told the lady at the beginning of my order. She was arguing with me about how I didn't say I wanted it dry....thats crazy work.

    After a year of renovations, Pho Bolsa is finally back! Pho Bolsa is an iconic Pho restaurant that has been in sac since 1991. The remodel of the restaurant itself is amazing and they updated their menu as well. Some items were taken away and some new items were added. I got the chicken pho ga and it was so good. The meat was tender and their portions and pricing can't be beat. You can pick your noodle and meat type (dark, white, mix) as well. Great customer service, ambiance, and food. I'm glad they're finally opened again and will continue to keep coming back.

    My wife and I have been coming to Pho Bolsa for over a decade. Normally, we'll get pho but today I tried the spicy pork noodle soup. It wasn't just pork. It had beef and goat in it also. Plenty of greens on the plate, very delicious. Very nice dish.

    Only piece of beef and tendon in Bun Bo Hue, it was like chewing on shoes.
    Hieu L.

    Service-the vibe was weird, they got Vietnamese rap music on CD, but the entire time, it's skipping and stuttering and nobody bothered to changed the disc, the Asian lady that took our order, she doesn't speak Vietnamese. Bun Bo Hue had the pork blood, a few slices of cha lua (Vietnamese ham) 1 piece of pork and and ONE piece of beef and ONE piece of tendon, this is the star of the dish, and the beef and tendon is not edible, it's like trying to chew on rubber, the one piece of pork was barely edible, the broth was ok. The pork chop over rice, it wasn't grilled, more like deep fry because it was dry and chewy. The bun rieu, it was subpar, the pho tai, we ordered with no onions and scallions, it arrived with a handful of onions and scallions. I didn't want to spend the next 10 minutes picking everything out, so I asked them to remake it, they were not busy, we're the only table there. The Pho tai came back out, I can still see pieces of scallions floating around, the beef was very tender, but the broth was bland. The pho was for my 8 year old, that's all he eats, he's eaten pho at many restaurants, my other son is a pork chop kid, that's his go to dish, from the Bay Area, up to Sacramento, and Folsom. After paying and as we walked out, both kids said "dad, let's never come back here", my wife agrees. Their other dishes maybe good, I wanted to try their porridge, and their cha ca, but what we had was so underwhelming.

    For a "small" bowl of porridge, that's a  pretty good size...

    Does Bun Rieu Soup have pork or is it just crabmeat? Thanks!

    I don't remember having any discernible pieces of pork in mine.

Cause we arrived in the morning on a weekend and there was one out the door. The line moves somewhat fast, though, but keep in mind that things sell out fast! Service was all smiles and efficient. Once you're inside, peruse the bakery case, order, pay, and be on your way! They have some picnic tables outside, or you can take it to go. We chose to take ours to go. My best friend got a few pastries, and I enjoyed the Cardamom Bun and the Salty Sesame Croissant. The bun was super cardamom-forward, which I enjoyed, and I loved the savory nuttiness. Both pastries were flaky, buttery, and so soft. I enjoyed sampling my best friends pastries as well! I'm not too familiar with the bakery scene in Sac, but I do enjoy Moonbelly Bakery and would love to come back. The bakery is off Folsom Blvd. with free parking in their lot out front! Go early for all their offerings and indulge!

I love bakery and bread in general, and within that world there can be average baking but Moonbelly does as good as anyone. Their bread has great texture and flavor, their pastries are consistently fresh and well-crafted, and it all just hits the right notes whether you're grabbing something early in the morning or stopping by later in the day. One of the best things about Moonbelly is that there's nothing super specific you have to order because everything is worth trying. There's no single item I'd highlight as "the best" instead it's more like "just try anything here and you'll quite enjoy it." From their crusty loaves to the tender pastries and everything in between, the quality and care are evident in every bite. If you love good bread and genuinely great baking, Moonbelly Bakery is absolutely worth seeking out. I'll keep coming back again and again.

I stopped in for a quick bite and left questioning every empanada I've ever eaten. The empanadas are absolutely incredible--flaky, perfectly baked, packed with flavor, and somehow capable of disappearing before you realize you've finished them. I came for a snack and immediately started planning my next visit. The bagels are excellent too, and the cream cheese is so smooth, rich, and creamy that it deserves its own fan club. Even with bagels this good, the empanadas somehow steal the show. There's only outdoor seating, but honestly, that's part of the charm. It gives you a chance to sit back, enjoy your food, and reflect on how good your life choices were when you decided to stop here. Robby came out to check on us and told us all about how the bakery got its name and the story behind everything "Forgotten." What a treat that was.

They crank out Pan Dulce like no one's business - they had a case full as well as racks that had just came out of the oven. They also had refrigerators full of Flan, Gelatinas, Churro Cheesecake and even massive fruit cups. We bought a bag full of Pan Dulce and a Gelatina de Mosaico that my daughter and I shared on the drive home - it was the perfect light dessert to end our evening.
