07.16.2026 - PHO MOMMA - Sacramento, CA…read more I've been wanting to try Pho Momma for months, and today was finally the day. I happened to be in the area picking up some paperwork, so it was the perfect excuse to stop in. My first impression was excellent. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and comfortably busy--a great sign that people genuinely enjoy the food here. After being seated, I was greeted with a refreshing glass of ice water and a nicely laminated menu. The menu was straightforward and well-organized--not too overwhelming, yet with plenty of delicious options to choose from. I already knew what I wanted: pho and spring rolls. I ordered the Pork Sausage with Crispy Layers Spring Roll along with the #1 Pho (lean beef, flank, brisket, fat brisket, tripe, and tendon in a small bowl). Before leaving, I also ordered a Half & Half Pork and Shrimp Egg Rolls to take home. The Pork Sausage with Crispy Layers Spring Roll completely exceeded my expectations. I've never had anything quite like it. At first glance it looks like a traditional fresh spring roll, but hidden inside is an incredibly crispy layer that gives it an amazing texture. The contrast between the cool, fresh vegetables and the warm crispy center was absolutely delicious. It reminded me of the same satisfying contrast I experience when eating Japanese zaru soba with freshly fried shrimp tempura--the combination of cool and warm, soft and crispy, all in one bite. It was refreshing, unique, and incredibly satisfying. The pho was equally impressive. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting while still tasting clean and fresh. It didn't have that overly reduced or day-old taste that some pho broths develop after sitting too long. Instead, every sip tasted balanced and well-crafted. The broth was so good that I drank nearly half of it before even thinking about adding hoisin sauce. Out of curiosity, I added some midway through the meal, but honestly, it didn't need it. The broth stood perfectly well on its own. The basil, bean sprouts, and lime were perfectly portioned and complemented the soup beautifully. The bowl was so satisfying that I finished every last drop of the pho and still couldn't finish the spring roll. Later that evening, I tried the shrimp egg roll I had ordered to go, and it was another pleasant surprise. I've had firecracker shrimp before, but this was something different: shrimp and perfectly seasoned vermicelli noodles wrapped in a crisp shell, creating a flavorful, memorable bite. Every dish I tried offered something unique, and each one exceeded my expectations. Final Thoughts: Pho Momma absolutely lived up to the hype. From the welcoming atmosphere to the creative appetizers and exceptional pho, this was one of the most enjoyable Vietnamese dining experiences I've had in Sacramento. I enjoyed it so much that I'm already planning to bring friends with me next time. Highly recommended. It's definitely worth the visit.

We stopped by before 5 pm on a Thursday and most tables were full. They are busy even on off hours…read more 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.

My daughter struck again…read more My daughter flew into town from Texas and she wanted to hit up another Korean restaurant and she found SeoulZip on Yelp-so we headed out there. Driving from Natomas it was a bit of a drive but I'm always down to try a new spot when she is in town. The parking situation at this restaurant was pretty nice-they share a big lot with many businesses,so parking was ample. We walked in towards the end of the night,like around 830pm,only a few people in there,but it was late. They have a pretty decent-sized restaurant with lots of tables,so I would feel comfortable going there with limited wait time most days. We sat down and they have a pretty decent sized menu with lots of options,but I was pretty sure I knew what we wanted. We went with Soft Tofu Soup($19.99). We also went with two orders of Dolsot Bibimbap ($20.99) Lastly we went with an order of their YangYum Chicken Wings($25.99) They provided us with complimentary Banchan as well-almost everything they provided was standard and they were yummy-I'd say the three of us ate about 90% of it-so good. The food came out pretty fast starting with the chicken wings. Overall the wings were pretty tasty and juicy but just a tad sweet for my taste. I tend to prefer my food on the spicier side. The soup came out next and it was sizzling. I really enjoyed the awesome flavor of the broth, very tasty and would order this again without hesitation. Now my son and I both got the Bibimbap and we both came to the same conclusions. -Aesthetic-perfect-almost didn't want to eat it. -Temperature-so hot with crunchy vegetables -loving it -Ingredients-perfect mixture of rice,meat,vegetables and egg -Taste-every bite was better than the last one and had me looking forward to the next bite. Easily my favorite Bibimbap I've had so far. Overall I would say I had a wonderful visit with my son and daughter and was so very happy that my daughter visiting me from Texas got me to add another great restaurant to my Sacramento resume. Just in case anyone is on the fence-traditional Korean cuisine is absolutely spectacular and I recommend that everyone should try it-it's so much more diverse than just Korean BBQ.

We came here for lunch after visiting the Children's Museum in Rancho Cordova. Korean cuisine is…read moreone of our favorites and will keep you full, especially right before the 2-hr drive back to the Bay Area on Jul 4 weekend. Seoulzip is located in a big shopping center and is a good-sized restaurants. Portions were generous and overall food was excellent with just one hiccup. The BBQ Chicken came on a sizzling platter, but initially about 20% of the chicken was undercooked and had pinkness. They took it back and re-cooked it to 109% doneness. Bulgolgi is our son's favorite and he ate most of it. The meat was sliced thicker than most other places but flavors were otherwise good and I like the level of sauce. Its easy to go overboard on sauce. The free banchan was excellent. as was their pork seafood tofu soup (mild spiciness). Wife felt it was one of the better Soondubus she's had.

Gamsahamnida! Back…read moreagain, and the food and service continue to be great! The chicken katsu is still one of the best I've had--light, crispy, and perfectly crunchy on the outside, with juicy, tender chicken inside. Every visit has been consistently delicious, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I also tried the spicy pork again. It's a bit different from the Korean spicy pork I'm used to. Instead of the pork being marinated so the flavor is deeply infused, it seems to be grilled first and then coated with the sauce. While it's not the traditional style I expected, it's still flavorful and worth trying if you're open to a different take on the dish. In addition the chicken gangjeong dish that requires it to be "deep fried chicken" needs additional time to get crunchy like you would expect. I think the sauce may have made the crunch disappear. The consistency in both the food and the service is what keeps bringing me back. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Other: -plenty of parking -bathroom inside -on hot days it's a little warm in the restuaruant *local family business*

Seoul 1979 keeps it simple, comforting, and does Korean comfort food really well…read more The tonkatsu curry was the standout for me. Crispy, golden breading with a juicy pork cutlet underneath, smothered in a rich, savory Japanese-style curry that was comforting without being too heavy. Served with rice and fresh cabbage slaw, it made for a complete, satisfying meal. The bibimbap was fresh and well balanced, with plenty of vegetables, tender beef, and a perfectly fried egg that tied everything together. Every bite had a great mix of textures and flavor. The vibe is casual and welcoming. This is the kind of neighborhood spot you'll want to come back to whenever you're craving Korean comfort food. Rex Tip: Mix the bibimbap thoroughly before your first bite. Every ingredient is meant to come together, and that's when the flavors really shine. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

This place has the best pho broth in the area! It is rich, flavorful and savory. I personally think…read moreit's better than Pho Mama and the other pho restaurants in the area. I usually come for lunch and it looks like they've made some changes. Lunch is takeout style but you are able to eat in their restaurant, if desired. Menu is smaller, prices slightly cheaper but also reflected in smaller portions. If looking for full service and larger portions, I would recommend coming for dinner. They also have this ?secret sauce. It looks and tastes like roasted garlic in a red chili oil. It pairs so good with their chili sauce and beef pho. I recommend asking to try this special sauce.

I've been coming to The Bagel Shop in Rancho Cordova for over 12 years, and there's a reason I keep…read morecoming back. Today I had the Ham & Swiss on my favorite bagel--the Super Onion Bagel. Everything was incredibly fresh: crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, onions, pickles, generous slices of ham and Swiss cheese, all piled onto a bagel baked fresh that morning. The Super Onion Bagel is my favorite because it's topped with red onions baked right into the bagel, giving it amazing flavor in every bite. What really sets this place apart isn't just the food--it's the hospitality. This is a family-run business, and they genuinely make you feel welcome every time you walk through the door. They remember their customers, greet everyone with a smile, and truly appreciate the people who support them. That's something you don't find everywhere. After more than a decade, the quality, freshness, and hospitality have remained consistently outstanding. Rancho Cordova is lucky to have this local gem. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just don't forget to grab a Super Onion Bagel!

There were bagel dogs that reminded me of the Costco Stromboli. The cafe and seating area appeared to be clean, well-lit and relaxing. We purchased one sausage and egg bagel and one spinach and egg bagel. The prices are also decent and reasonable compared to the bigger bagel chains. We will definitely be back for more! Parking has easy access off Olson. It's located by the Jamba Juice and in the Ross shopping center plaza.

This café has been serving fresh breads, pastries, and lunches for years, and it never disappoints. Honestly, the hardest part about coming here is deciding what to get because there are so many good options. Some of our favorites are the baguette with dill, the original croissants, Chinese chicken salad, Asian noodle salad, the California turkey sandwich, the American turkey sandwich, and the La Bou Club, plus a few others I'm probably forgetting. They also have wraps and paninis, not to mention cookies, scones, muffins, and so much more! Everything is fresh and flavorful. It's truly one of those places where you can't go wrong.

Whatever happened to the bread La Bou was known for - - certainly not here. The turkey Panini was smashed so flat it was totally unappetizing. Spent a lot of money on food that wasn't worth it

Service was great, the waitress was nice and accomodating, the sushi chef was nice as well as he occasionally came by to serve the dishes. Dishes were good and didn't take too long. Overall was a very pleasant experience. Little qualm may just be the parking can get difficult if it's busy but besides that there's still parking around just gotta walk a bit.
