    The pho and condiments separated to put into the hot stone pho broth.
    Luv H.

    We happened to be in the area for my nephew's soccer game, and the restaurant was about 8 minutes away. We didn't want to go all the way back to Stockton Blvd, so we decided to check it out. The food was good, and the place is nice and clean. I really love their Thai tea--it's sealed at the top and not too sweet. The pho is pretty good, especially considering it's off Saigon on Stockton Blvd (haha, that's an inside joke). The service was great, and the staff made sure we were satisfied. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I'm glad we stopped by!

    P1. Special Combination

    I love eating at Pho Vung Tau Bay it is a little bit out of the way in Citrus Heights, but well worth the trip for some of the best Vietnamese food. I always order the #1P which is the combination pho you can get it in regular or large. I always get the large since it's only a $1 more and the portion is substantial. I also get the shrimp and pork fresh spring roll which as absolutely fresh and delicious. You can also get a free Thai tea or soft drink with Yelp check in offer as well. The service is always great the staff is friendly and you can sit anywhere you want they are also accommodating with food allergies. The restaurant is small but a nice amount of seating. It is easy to pass by the restaurant if you're not paying attention. This is a must go to Vietnamese restaurant it will not disappoint. :)

    Pork plate and pho (p1)
    Shamykka M.

    The spot is a nice gem in the area, don't let the size of the place fool you, it gives a very cozy feel. I seen a picture calendar on the back of the wall that reminded me of my yaah's home. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We order pho, pork rice plate and fried chicken. My kids love the rice plate nothing but full bellies. As well as the pho was so clean and hearty the added pickled garlic added a nice bite. And the star of the show was the fried chicken, so light and crispy and sooo juicy. A nice spot to take the family for dinner.

    We're regulars here and for a reason! The food is consistently amazing, and their pho is out of this world -- rich, flavorful broth and super fresh ingredients. It's our go-to spot for Vietnamese comfort food. Highly recommend!

    14. Charbroiled Pork Chop Over Rice with Salad
    Falesha L.

    When we picked up the pho & brought it home the broth was not hot enough to cook the raw meat. We had to microwave the meat. The broth was pretty tasteless & lacked flavor. The pork chop over rice combo - the pork was extremely over cooked, hard & a very weird texture. The rice underneath was also a little crunchy. I have never been so disappointed in a meal. I really wanted to like this place since it's local. But will not be returning.

    What the Pho was that? We walked in first thing after they opened. The floors were disgustingly dirty. Most of the bottles of sauce on the tables were empty. The decor is old. They don't serve Vietnamese beers. The water they put in the pitchers sounded like he was spraying them with sink water to fill them up. The guy turned on all the tvs and played music at first, then he turned on what seemed to be a Vietnamese show that he was watching in between stocking the fridge and serving - the show was loud and had an annoying child crying on it for a good 5 min. *insert eye roll* We ordered spring rolls. Those were very good as they were refreshing tasting with the mint along with the peanut sauce that had deep fried onion crisps in it. Then we ordered something I would never ever order nor recommend. We were in the mood for trying something different so we ordered the P 101. Don't do it. The broth came out boiling as it's supposed to be 212 degrees, but when I tried it as soon as in was put in my bowl, it was luke warm. Odd. Then we saw the meat plate - um no thanks. The brisket looks like it was boiled 4 days ago and re-served. It was so tough you couldn't bite through a single piece. Not even kidding. There's gross pieces of gelatinous looking tendon that was hard. The tripe was interesting- I've never had it but wanted to try it. Never again. What a weird texture. It reminds me of those little rubber monster finger puppets with the wiggly arms and a cats tongue. Then there was rare beef tenderloin... it was edible and tender. There was beef back ribs in the stone broth..Bleh. The bean spouts were old. The noodles were okay & so was the broth. They have two good sauces that they bring from the fridge to your table, one is a chili oil and the other had jalapeños and garlic cloves in it. Both pretty good. I'm not sure why we stayed after seeing the floors. The spring rolls were good but not good enough to come back. Still looking for a good Pho place.....

    Pro tip: Check in on Yelp and get a free Thai iced tea as of 3/30/24 Came here on Saturday afternoon 12:45pm and was surprised to see the place empty after seeing so many positive reviews... I stepped in, smelled the air, saw the chairs and felt the ground on my shoes , and was hopeful that this place would be good, sadly it did not meet our expectations. My wife got the pho tai Bo vien and I got the Hot stone bowl as it seems like this was their specialty item. My wife's pho broth for some reason was not flavorful almost bland , but the weird thing is my broth was fine... although it did not have as deep a flavor as other places. The Hot Stone Pho was a cool idea but realistically it didn't enhance anything for me.. maybe just the presentation. For the price, I was expecting I guess a bigger portion but you're basically just paying for the upgrade to FAT noodles (fresh noodles), a small rib bone, and the use of the hot stone bowl(presentation) , portion size to me was a bit smaller compared pho items of that price range at other places. I felt that I could still eat more after leaving. Main reason for rating is my wifes underwhelming pho broth flavor and inconsistency between mine and hers. Value was ok. My comparisons is to pho in the Bay Area and Elk Grove area, if you're looking for pho in Roseville, this will suffice but there may be other options if you're willing to travel a few extra miles.

    To go Pho Rare Beef Noodle Soup
    Kellee B.

    Overall, I thought it was just okay. It wasn't horrible nor the best. There is something magical about pho and a rainy day, right! I always get the rare beef noodle soup. I like how the meat cooks in the hot broth. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in their rare meat. It looked different than other places I've ordered from so not sure if it was the cut but I was puzzled. Also, I wish the broth had more flavor. Definitely, appreciate having this place so close to my house and ordering to go was a breeze.

    A3. Fried Chicken Wings
    Marie Y.

    We came here on a friday around 3PM and theres a good space to accommodate us with a baby on a high chair. I liked their house special fried rice and the fried chicken is so tasty. Overall we will sure to come back because fried rice and fried chicken are our staple comfort food and my children likes it too. Added factor is its only a stone throw away from our house. More power!

The shelving behind the kiosk has plants, bottles of Veuv and wine nicely placed. There's some nice Vietnam themed artwork throughout. A vibrant, colorful mural is painted on the wall near the entrance and more wall art towards the back. I was impressed to see they even serve Veuve here. That makes for a fun brunch! Our party of five were road tripping home from the weekend and passing through. We always stop at Quan Nem Ninh Hoa for lunch and get the House Special 2 DIY spring rolls with the grilled pork complete with veggies, their special sauce and those crispy sticks. I was also hungry for some Bun Cha Ca (fish soup) which has mackerel, fish cake, tomatoes, pineapple and cabbage. I enjoyed mine with egg noodles. So delicious- even on a hot day! This place can get packed, but they run a tight ship here cranking out the dishes and keeping water glasses full. I look forward to more delicious spring rolls and trying other dishes in the future!

Pair it with a rich, flavorful bowl of Mi Quang, and you're in food heaven. Try their bun cha ca, vermicelli noodles w fish cake super light and excellent broth! I also like their banh xeo here, very crispy and the right amount of veggies. PRO-TIP YOU NEED TO TRY: Don't sleep on their appetizer menu! Stop by TK Noodles down the street first, grab some chicharrones to-go, and sprinkle them right on top of the Banh Beo here. Total game changer! Try something else besides pho, I love pho but Vietnamese cuisine has many distinct soup dishes when you factor in regional variations, unique broths, and different noodle types. If you look past phở, Vietnamese soups generally fall into a few massive, distinct categories based on how the broth is built and what kind of noodle is used.

The meat was tough, there was barely any tripe, and no tendon at all, which was disappointing for a "combo." I also requested less noodles, but that adjustment was mistakenly given to my husband's bowl instead. Not a huge issue on its own, but it added to the overall experience. That said, the menu offers a wide variety of broken rice dishes, so it seems like that might be more of their specialty. If I were to return, I'd probably try one of those instead of the pho.

We decided to…read moreeat here because we saw on the reviews that they had ox tail soup and bun rieu ( crab noodle soup). It appears the restaurant mainly serves seafood. As there are a lot of seafood options. However there is hotpot options and other noodle and rice dishes as well. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio. Inside has spacious table seating, some with booth and good lighting inside. There was ballad vietnamese music video playing. The restaurant was not busy and there were elderly men at the tables playing cards and some at another table they were chatting & drinking. Im not sure if they hold karaoke or have live bands but there is a stage with music instruments and a projector with installed party lights. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted right away. It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.
