The Bun dishes are my go-to dishes. You won't go wrong with anything you order. The place is family owned. They are the nicest people and always have a friendly greeting. They are in a building best described as a "tired" strip mall. The inside is very open. They also have a private party area. You are not there for the ambiance - you go there for some of the best Vietnamese food, generous portions and a very fair price. If you are traveling I-80, you owe it to yourself to stop at Bobo.

WoW wOw WOW!!! Bobo…read moreCafe is a local Vietnamese restaurant which offers authentic Vietnamese dishes in Auburn! I'm thrilled to find such a delicious Vietnamese place in this neighborhood. Despite the average three Yelp Star reviews, I decided to give it a try after a serious long hike in Auburn. Bobo Cafe totally exceeded my expectations and provided such a delicious, fresh, and traditional lunch. What a gem it is to be here in such a small town like Auburn. We ordered the vegetarian banh xeo, which is a Vietnamese crepe! I'm totally salivating writing this review thinking of the delicious, tasty, and crunchy crepe which was like a home cooked meal by my mama. The service is fantastic. We got seated at a perfect table with sun and a view. Water and coffee were soon on our table. The server was polite, friendly, and nice. It took a bit time as the crepes were prepared fresh and got to us sizzling hot, just the way I liked it! We were hungry but we did not mind to wait a little time. Just like how Danielle Steel put it: "Some things in life are worth waiting for." Overall, I enjoyed my dinning experience here and highly recommend this Bobo cafe. Try it. You will love it! I will be back very soon!

Pho Cali is definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the area. We always order the…read moreshrimp spring rolls to start, and I usually get the half chicken plate, which is always flavorful and cooked perfectly. My kids love the bánh mì sandwiches, and the catfish is another standout dish that we highly recommend. The food is consistently authentic, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh. One bonus is that they offer a discount if you pay with cash. Overall, it's one of our favorite spots for Vietnamese food, and we always leave satisfied.

This is one of the few restaurants around that stays open between 3-5pm. I came for a very late…read morelunch around 3:30. They did have a fairly good number of customers during that time, perhaps for that very reason. It's a basic storefront restaurant in a strip shopping center. Nothing too unique or special, and it is clean. Parking is readily available so that shouldn't be an issue. Service is good. Again, nothing that one wouldn't expect for this type of place. I had a hunger for a sandwich, a Vietnamese one! Banh Mi. They had five basic types and I got the grilled pork. I tend to like a tofu, but that wasn't an option. We started with won tons for an appetizer. They were deep fried to a crisp. The sandwich was just OK, like everything else here. nothing special. I thought bread was a bit stale, not like I've had elsewhere. The sandwich also didn't pack mucn flavor. Overall it satisfied the hunger yet I doubt this is the high point of the menu. If I go again I'll try a Pho or a Rice Dish. I suspect they're better.

I understand needing to raise prices to cover costs, but seeing the price of everything jump by a…read morefew bucks per item since I last ate there a few weeks ago was off-putting enough to make me choose another option for lunch. Chicken/beef/pork/tofu all used to be options that didn't require an additional charge. Having to pay an additional $1-$1.50 for tofu to replace chicken sounds crazy to me. $3 more for beef or pork. And this is on top of the increased base price! Seafood has always been extra. What used to be a $20 lunch order for me would now be $27.50... a 37.5% increase before tax and tip. Ouch.

Their pad Thai was just ok, I actually haven't found a great pad Thai in years And their beef Brocholi was the worst we had ever had. Over cooked broccoli and small Minced meat.

FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay.

When I see Singapore chow mein on menu Is a plus. I love the curry spice & stir-fry noodle taste! Cordial staff- waited on me as a solo diner instantly. One thing I did notice was they didn't offer tea which is usually customary at Chinese restaurants. It's just an observation ( not a critique). Love all the original work of art on the walls. I felt like I was in someone's tasteful livingroom. Looking forward to returning after another hike in Auburn.

The pho could have some more flavor but that's just my preference. It was still yummy and was a big portion for one size bowl.

Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the start. The woman helping me at the front was very rude during our interaction. Since it was my first time there, I was simply asking a few questions about the menu, but I felt unwelcome the entire time. Honestly, I considered leaving before ordering, but I still wanted to give the restaurant a chance because I was hoping to find a good new go-to place nearby. I ordered the lunch special Peking pork with fried rice, which also came with an egg roll. The Peking pork had very little actual meat and was mostly thick fried breading. Because of the sauce, the breading became soggy and lacked texture and flavor. The broccoli on the side was bland, and the fried rice also had very little flavor. I also ordered the combination chow mein, which was probably the best part of the meal. The portion size was decent, although the noodles seemed slightly undercooked. For the two dishes, the total came out to around $38, which felt overpriced, especially for lunch specials and the quality of the food. On a positive note, the inside of the restaurant looked clean and had a nice atmosphere. There were several employees working, so I can't speak for everyone there, but the customer service I personally received at the front was not pleasant. Overall, I would not recommend this place based on my experience. The customer service was poor, and the food was below average.
