    Vegan menu
    Monisha M.

    I've been craving lemongrass chicken and decided to try a new pho spot. We came across Pho Momma while driving back home, and I'm so glad we decided to give it a try! What a fantastic little place! I will say, it gets super busy around lunchtime, so I recommend going when they first open if you want to beat the crowd. The inside is on the smaller side but very clean, and the customer service was great. I ordered my food to go, and it was ready pretty quickly. I was also pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegan options they offer. They even have vegan drinks, which I know will make the vegan lovers happy! Now, let's talk about the food. My lemongrass chicken was absolutely delicious! It definitely satisfied my craving. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is limited, so finding a spot may be a little harder if you come during the busy hours. I can't wait to come back and actually sit down and dine next time. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    Pho with meat on side

    We finally got to try Pho Momma! We had been a couple times before but every time there must be at least 10-12 people standing outside with another 7-8 eating inside so we never tried. We planned it by showing up around 1140ish figuring the first wave of 11 o'clock seater would be out of there in about 45 min. Again there were at least 9 people standing outside with all the extra waiting seats inside taken up. The list had 7 names before us but a lot of 2 tops and groups of 4's. The wait was about 22 minutes which was not bad at all! The atmosphere was not exactly Michelin but the food definitely was! The chili oil wontons were good and not too spicy but the Pho was the star. Clean broth where you don't have to mask it with sauces. Went with the traditional and just raw meat on the side. The meat was ice cold and the size was just right.

    Small spot on Folsom Blvd. Plenty of parking available in the plaza. I walked in a little after 5 pm. There were only a few tables left which was good timing on my part. I ordered the number 1 pho. And my friend order their chicken pho. Overall the pho was solid just not memorable. Just a spot that is overhyped by Instagram.

    We stopped by before 5 pm on a Thursday and most tables were full. They are busy even on off hours. We were able to be sat right away. This was our second visit. The service is fast and efficient. We ordered the 5 piece wontons in hot chili oil, salt and pepper tofu and #4 pho. The pho was the star of the meal, the broth was bright, flavorful, so delicate. The wonton were good and the oil was tasty but I will not order it again. The tofu was breaded and served in strip form, it tasted of breading more than tofu. We will return but just focus on the pho next time.

    Came to see if it was Michelin gourmand worthy. Felt the pho is ok, but nothing that really wows me. The meats were cut super super thin, which is not to my liking. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to return when there are other restaurants that are closer and better.

    One small, one medium pho and a dumpling.

    Just flew in and needed a bowl of pho. Running errands in the area and had to stop in. No regrets. The broth was fully brothy, not some salty soup. The tendon and tripe were cooked properly, the thinly sliced rare beef came out so nicely. I didn't even have to add anything to the broth to make it taste good. Of course I dumped in the basil, sprouts, and jalapeños. I honestly loved the sizes of the bowls. A small was good enough for my wife and I had a medium. I probably could have gone for a small considering we also ordered an appetizer.

    Garlic Noodles

    The first red flag at this restaurant was the menu. Its a Vietnamese restaurant and the menu is entirely English............. In my opinion this spot was Mid at best. The restaurant is smaller then I thought it would. Its a decent restaurant with some ok decor, but I wasn't worried about what it looked like more then how good the food tastes. We ordered 3 different appetizers, the Fresh Spring Roll, Fresh Spring Roll with crispy inside, and the Shrimp and pork eggrolls. The service was pretty good, we didn't have any issues. All in all is this spot is ok if your in the area and want some pho. I can't say I recommend this spot, so lets just say enter at your own risk.

    Beef pho, spring rolls, crab cream cheese wonton
    Rachel M.

    Came on a Saturday, about a 30 minute wait for a table of 2. Plenty of menu options and great spritzers, I've never had spring rolls with the egg roll inside. I was very pleased about that! I got a green Thai tea, less sweet since I feel they are way too sugary when I order out, and the drink was somewhat bitter but I was able to drink it. The wontons were perfect, nothing they could've done better! The hopes I had for this pho was to the moon and stars, a Michelin star SEA with affordable prices? Hell yeah! The beef pho #3 was so underwhelming.... The broth was much lighter than I expected and I did add garnishments to doctor up the pho but if the broth isn't flavorful and hearty from the first sip then it's not a win in my book. The gentleman serving me was very nice, good customer service but did not check on us or refill water. Butttt tbf it was a full house in there! I would come back to try other recommended menu items (I've been craving vermicelli!) but for pho, definitely not.

    Chicken wings & rice
    Mel J.

    We arrived on Sunday night around 7pm and were on the waitlist for about an hour. The service was good and prompt. We got our food 15 minutes after ordering. Both food that we ordered were excellent but I would come back during less busy time. - pho #4 (lean beef, flank, brisket) medium: good. The broth was savory, good, and not too greasy. The bowl itself had lots of meat slices but the noodles portion was too little imo. - chicken wings & rice: my favorite! The chicken wings had crispy coatings and perfectly seasoned (not too salty but very umami). The meat was tender and flavorful.

    Saturday Pho date with my girls

    3rd times the charm! My girlfriends and I FINALLY made it into this famous pho haven here in Sacramento! And it was my FIRST TIME! 01/24/26 This place gets super busy! I attempted to come twice before and it way too busy and there was a wait outside and the place is small compared to other pho locations which are generally bigger in space and capacity. Ambience is nice chill and very homey! The people working there are VERY NICE AND ATTENTIVE! My girlfriends were able to secure a nice big booth while I was still enroute. Imma keep it real, EVERYTHING WE TRIED WAS GOOD! I had water, my girls got Thai Green Tea and Mango Milk and they loved it! I got a Mocha latte to go and it was BOMB! Nice and strong! And I believe the owner came gave it to me, she was soooo nice! Appetizers we got the sweet garlic chicken wings, so crispy and flavorful, fried to perfection. Crispy pork spring rolls were fresh and every bite you get a nice crunch! I ordered a small flank pho with steamed pork wontons with added Napa cabbage and carrots! Their picked jalapeños have a good kick! The small was a perfect size! Perfect for a cold day! And I was able to finish it all for once! I have a lot more to conquer on the menu next time! I think I will order more appetizers because the list was nice long one and I have heard it's all very good! Pho Momma, thank you so much for your kind service hospitality and good food! I'll be back!

    Small pho
    Nina H.

    The restaurant is located in a strip mall with a bunch of other asian restaurants. The place was rather small and filled up quickly. Decor was nice, chairs comfy. The service and food were pretty good. I ordered a small #1 pho and egg rolls. The pho was solid, good broth and tons of noodles. The meat quality was pretty good, but there wasn't that much meat, and the tendon was not cooked long enough. It was a bit crunchy. The egg roll was very good, i liked the filling a lot and it was perfectly crisp. I enjoyed my food, but its a bit out of the way for me, so not sure if it was good enough to warrant the distance. But if I am ever in the area, I think it is a solid pick.

    Beef Stew
    Kellie C.

    Saw that this restaurant was on the Michelin guide so I wanted to check it out! I honestly thought the pho was fine, nothing extraordinary, but good value. I like that they have multiple sizes at difference price points to choose from. The beef stew was spicier than I expected! It had a strong ginger flavor but it was still good. I would recommend trying the fish sauce chicken wings! The flavor was great and the chicken wings were perfectly crispy. We came in on a Saturday around 7pm and didn't have to wait for a table.

    Recommended my Michelin. The Pho and the broth were excellent. The chicken was tasty. The only negative was the wait time so go early.

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait. It's worth it, though! Great ramen, authentic flavors, and a spot we're always happy to come back to.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here. OUr water cups were always filled no matter how hot the ramen was. Solid meal here.
