    Spoiled and uncooked pork eggrolls
    Nai T.

    This was my first time trying this restaurant. I went for the happy hour to try the appetizers. I was really excited for the baked mussels and mushrooms, eggrolls, and pork belly taco. I was hoping my son would order the kids pho because I was curious about the broth. He ended up ordering the tempura shrimp bowl and was sorely disappointed. The tempura shrimp looked like the frozen ones from Costco. He was expecting Mikunis fresh batter and sauce. I told him we're at a Vietnamese restaurant not Japanese. The food was meh and the pork eggrolls were undercooked and the meat smelled bad. The restaurant is very clean and AC was top tier. Parking is easy to find and the service was good however I won't be going back because the food was disappointing. The waitress was awesome and didn't give me a hard time about the eggrolls. She didn't charge me for them. She offered another batch of eggrolls but I refused because the pork smelled and tasted sour so even if it was fully cooked it still shouldn't be served. She mentioned that they were definitely undercooked and for future servings they would cook it longer.

    I have been eyeing this place since opening! Finally glad to try it. I walked in and was greeted right away, given a menu and wasn't rushed to order. I decided on the pork belly bahn mi and 2 orders of pho. Everything was still piping hot when I got home and so delicious.

    Spicy Pho Oxtail
    Angel V.

    Thao was great the service here is good 10/10 and more attentive other than other pho restaurants. They have a cute bar that serves beer and wine and have nice seating. But for food i tried the char sui pork spring rolls and oxtail pho kinda disappointed the spring rolls aren't ur typical spring rolls i was surprised to see cabbage in it and after one roll i wasn't impressed 3/10 and oxtail pho was mid tasted a lot of lemon grass in the pho i have never had lemon grass in a pho i mean it was flavorful but wasn't my kinda thing and only had 3 oxtails and the rest was tendon and some beef pieces which were not tender wasn't impressed 5/10 for oxtail pho after like 6 bites i didn't want anymore but other than that maybe i would come back for the great service and to try the rice plates instead maybe they have a lot to choose from maybe i just didn't choose the right ones!

    Crazy Pho King Pho

    Pho Fresh has been around for over a year now and is located in the KFC/ Little Caesars pizza plaza on Elk Grove Florin Road. Tried it for the first time and it's not bad, just a little pricey. The staff here are nice, and I like that they have a separate vegan menu with similar items available to the regular menu, just made vegan. There's plenty of seating, and likely that they can accommodate big groups. We tried the: Crazy Pho King Pho ($18.95) It has wontons, shrimps, and 5 meat cuts - Rare Steak, Well done Flank, Fat Brisket, Tendon & Tripe, and beef meat balls. Beer Lover Pho ($18) It has a half pound of hand-cut rare rib-eye steak Pork Belly Tacos ($13.95) It has slow roasted pork belly in a spicy garlic sauce, cucumber, pickled carrot/daikon mix, cilantro, sandwiched in a bao. I loved the variety of the items in the crazy pho king, especially the wontons. I wasn't a fan of the well done flank, it had kind of an old taste to me, but the wontons, fat brisket, and beef meatballs stood out and made up for it. The pork belly taco was good but that first bite was very sour, as if extra juices from the pickled veggies were added on top. The pork belly was tender and flavored well. Overall, I'd rate everything a 7/10.

    This is a nice space with plenty of parking outside and large space inside. I am glad there is a 2nd location of pho fresh near Elk Grove. It offers something unique (vegan Vietnamese) food. The portions are quite large we got the pho and spicy beef soup both were very large sizes. The tacos are delicious. The meet might have been a little bit cold, but it was still nonetheless. They were attentive even late at nice close to closing time

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy at all. We got seated right away. The place is spacious with lots of tables. We ordered two pho bowls. One small and one large. The broth was alright, a little bland for my taste. I had to ask for some fish sauce to make the flavor better. But overall I thought the pho was good and had decent portion. The service was pretty fast and the place is nicely decorated. They have a modern look to the restaurant and they were playing Vietnamese hip hop which was fun lol. Overall I would definitely come back since it's next to my house.

    Beef stew with mushroom noodles (all the meats on the bottom of bowl)
    Susan B.

    A pretty solid place in the area. Nice interiors with modern designs. There is bar. Wide selections on their menu and they even have many vegan options as well. For noodles, they have different options such as regular pho noodles, fresh noodles, mushroom noodles, glass noodles, and shirataki noodles. I ordered beef stew pho with mushroom noodles ($2 more). Texture of mushroom was interesting. Beef stew was not tender enough. Portion was on the smaller side. Felt the broth was lacking something but it was good overall. Service was quick. They allow to split the bills.

    Food was 10/10. Service was great and fast. I think I might have a new favorite pho restaurant. I love love my experience here.

    chicken spring roll
    April P.

    I would rate the food here a 6/10 overall. I typically order through DoorDash or get my meals to-go, but today I decided to dine in for the first time. I ordered the grilled chicken spring rolls and was unfortunately a bit disappointed. They lacked garnish and only contained lettuce, with very little chicken inside. I'm used to more traditional spring rolls that include lettuce, cucumber, mint, and a fuller combination of fresh ingredients, so this felt underwhelming in comparison. That being said, I really enjoy their pho , it was flavorful and very fulfilling. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the restaurant itself is clean and well put together, which made for a nice dine-in experience. The servers were quick and attentive. Service is great here. I definitely see the potential in this restaurant and would be open to dining in again to try more items on the menu. Overall, I would still recommend this place to family and friends, especially for the pho.

    The customer service and how clean and pretty this restaurant brought this place to the 4 stars. Its located in the Safeway shopping center on Elk Grove Florin. We had 2 soup, 3 rice plates, an appetizer and 2 drinks. I had the # 1 in a medium bowl - tons of meat but the broth was lacking. My daughter had the wonton soup and she said it was good but she's had it better. My kids and husband said the pork they ordered was delicious and flavorful. The menu offered many different things. I want to come back and try a few others

    Beef Bone pho, its a good portion of protein and soup but very little rice noodles. The soup is very good.

    I stumbled across this restaurant as I was in the area. In the exterior, it didn't look like your typical pho restaurant. It's open with natural lighting. It was a Saturday morning with a few tables filled. This place is big enough for parties of 10. Plenty of smaller tables for smaller groups. No one greeted us at the door so we waited until someone came out from the kitchen. Look under staff already. We got seated and got our menus. Super surprised how large their menus are. This is a Vietnamese fusion restaurant with many options. The beef bone pho reminds me of Orange County. The only thing is, they don't give a normal serving of rice noodles for the size of the bowl. Overall, this is a nice option for lunch if you're in the area.

    On Saturday, I was in the neighborhood visiting family and looking for a quick bite when I came across Pho Fresh. I chose the Avocado and Chicken Breast Spring Rolls, thinking I would get one of each, but to my surprise, I received two boxes with four rolls and peanut sauce in each! I did not complain, of course! I had a few for lunch and the rest for dinner, and they were delicious. The following day, three of us went back for lunch, and this time I ordered Spicy Pho Oxtail Noodle Soup, while others ordered Pho Chicken and an Avocado Chicken Salad. I loved my soup, and the salad scored big. The chicken soup was also good. The dining space is large, wide, well-set up, and maintained, and the servers, mostly younger people, are wonderful. I recommend trying this place if you are in the neighborhood and enjoy Vietnamese food. We are definitely going back for more!

    Came to try this a few times. So far it is consistently good. The pho has great flavor. We like their veggie spring rolls. The staff are very nice, but not as attentive as they used to be. Overall, this is a good place to eat at.

We arrive and it was perfect weather to eat outside so we quickly order: x2 BMLT sandwiches, BBQ Tri-tip sandwich, and Urban fries, then waited til food arrives. The urban fries show up first (like an appetizer), then a 10-15 wait until the sandwiches are served. IMO our food should have arrived together or at least a few minutes apart not 10-15 minutes. The BMLT were nicely toasted and my girls enjoyed their food, while my Tri-tip sandwich was overall cold except for the Tri-tip (warm but not hot) which was a disappointment. The bun was cool and not toasted or warmed up on the grill top and the slice of cheese used was cold like it was just pulled from the refrigerator while the lettuce and tomato was more at room temp; so when eating the sandwich that warm, then cold in one bite confused my taste buds or was the kitchen just ready to go home? The best part of my meal was spending time with my family while eating the fries because it was warm and crispy, even though served earlier than expected.

Server gave us the bill, upon review, we noticed a "1/2 Caesar Salad" and a corresponding $13 charge, not $5... Certainly NOT what we ordered . We explained to the Server the error and she apologized, said the bill will be corrected. Upon the Server's return, she said she was sorry and informed us we ordered the Caesar, not the regular $5 salad. Really? Instead of correcting their mistake, we now found ourselves having to explain to the Server, twice what actually happened while she took our order, I pointed out to their menu and I said "we wanted to add the $5.00 salad". That was it! We never asked for the Caesar, and specially a "half-order". The Server emphatically refused to correct the mistake. Obviously her decision would have never be my choice, had I been the Server, or the owner of the restaurant. We hate giving bad reviews, but being unnecessarily placed in this awkward position we did not appreciate it.

I mentioned the $3 discount to the cashier so she doesn't forget to deduct it, but when she told me the total, it was over $15. I told her it should not be that much because it's $13.99 before the discount, The cashier changed something in the register and my total became just under $12. I paid it because it sounded close enough, and waited for my order. When I received my order, it seemed awfully small to be a whole sandwich, so I questioned it, and Rosey, said my order was a half cold sandwich and on the wrong bread. She double checked with the cashier and printed my order out, and I told her it was completely wrong, so I had to wait for my order to be made. They called my name for pick up, but there were two orders ready at the same time. The other customer was given one of the bags, and was digging through, and opening everything to confirm the order. She said it was not hers, and thinking that the other bag for me, may have been her order, I didn't grab it, and eventually, they confirmed the bag left for me was her order, so she took it and left, after she questioned whether I opened it or not. They gave me the other customer's bag, but I brought up the fact that the other lady went through my entire order instead of having the preparer check the order, so Rosey offered to remake my sandwich, which meant more waiting. But I was very pleased with Rosey's attention to the matter, abs swift action to make everything right, and added a complimentary cookie for the mix up. I didn't ask whether Rosey was the manager or not, but my guess is, she IS, based on her pleasant and positive demeanor, and her efficiency.
