Just flew into Sacramento and saw this place had good reviews. Ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls and they were good and had lots of protein. We also ordered the beef which was so delicious honestly, the best soup I've had in years. I'm so sad that I don't live closer to this place because I would have it probably once a week! Hoping to go back before my trip ends it was that good :) It was me and my mom's first time in and the staff was really nice and helpful. Parking was not bad but also did come on a Thursday midday so not sure what it is usually like. Also, sidenote the restaurant is pretty small. There is some tables in a bar but if you go out a busier time might have to sit outside. read more

I'll definitely come back here. It's a cute bustling little spot that is clean, has indoor and outdoor seating, some parking, and is well decorated. The staff were really friendly and the food came fast. They have quick grab items and sit down menu items. We tried some of both. The chicken pho was prepped and made to be eaten quickly. It already had basil and sprouts inside which can be nice when you're in a rush. They had chili, lime, and pickled peppers on the tables for you to add. The flavors were nicely balanced. My wife got the meatball sandwich and she really loved the bread in particular. In the To-Go options we grabbed the spam and bulgogi gimbap. The spam was excellent, but I didn't like the bulgogi as much. The flavor of the meat itself wasn't as intense as I prefer. We also picked up a commoner rice which was rich and delicious. Lastly we got the braised tofu dosirak. Everything in it was flavored well including the japchae. Perfect portion sizes on everything. read more

Immaculate low-key neighborhood bodega vibes.....AND, I'm gonna say it, cute branding actually created by an artist and not just lazy rendered A.I. art slop. :O! Very friendly staff crew. Gentleman at the counter asked if this was my first time here and after I responded yes he was happily willing to walk me through the menu. Nice gesture! Ended up getting the braised tofu dosirak, bulgogi dosirak, Vietnamese coffee and a sticker sheet. Food is decent. A little on the salty side. I will say not the biggest fan of the bulgogi as it's dry-crumbly. Vietnamese coffee is more heavy on the condensed milk than what I'm used to, but I'd say it could still be a crowd pleaser since it's quite smooth and not strongly jitter-inducing lol. Parking is a bit tight right at the spot but I was able to snag street parking a couple walking minutes away. read more

Southside Super - Braised tofu dosirak, bulgogi dosirak, sticker sheet - Korean Near Me - Sacramento, California

It's a small and cute place. There's to-go food to grab like gimbap and we ordered their beef pho. I really enjoyed the pho and love that the meat has some color on it. It comes with a Chinese doughnut to dunk. You order in the back and give your name. Then they deliver your food to you wherever you are. There's an area to grab additional utensils and pickled jalapeños- which were sour and spicy. read more

Southside Super - Beef pho - Korean Near Me - Sacramento, California

Small little diner with about 3 tables inside and a counter. Also a couple of tables outside with plastic stools like what you would see on the streets of Saigon. This is more of a grab and go place. Very limited hours and they have some hot and cold food that are premade daily and may run out on a busy day. The Shrimp and Pork Goi Cuon was decent but I wish the sauce was a bit thicker. The Beef Japchae was very flavorful. And the Commoner's Rice definitely reminded me of some Vietnamese comfort food that my family would cook while I was growing up. There is a small attached parking lot. I would definitely swing by and pick up a couple of items if I was nearby. Wish they had a little more variety for made to order items. read more

The skinny: Small lot, decent street parking at lunch Smaller meat portions but big flavor A lot of options The lengthy: In downtown, needed lunch, this was the first spot to pop up on Yelp. Yelp knows my taste buds... Inside there is lots of signage helping me know what to do. The host/waiter asked me what i wanted to eat. I snap ordered the lemongrass pork noodles. Pickled jalapeños, lime, peppers, chopsticks and napkins at the bar/tables. Lemongrass Pork Noodle: the fish sauce with tiny peppers was a nice amount of spice, pork well-marinated & well-cooked, decent amount of lettuce and cucumber My main critique is that the protein serving felt smaller; i was very hungry- didn't eat breakfast, didn't have coffee yet - and i didn't end feeling super full. $21 out the door felt a bit pricier. That being said,y taste buds were happy and I thought the overall value was good. I plan to be back if I am in the area and I recommend checking this spot out if you are near. These kinds of gems are what give Sac character :) read more

Southside Super is a charming little spot that delivers big on both flavor and convenience. Whether you are grabbing one of their prepared dishes to go or managing to snag a seat inside, it is an easy and satisfying experience from start to finish. While their menu leans primarily Korean, the chicken pho is unexpectedly exceptional and honestly one of the best I have had. It is a standout dish that shows just how much care and attention goes into everything they make. Despite its small footprint, this place leaves a lasting impression. Thoughtful, well executed food and a welcoming, no frills atmosphere make Southside Super a true Sacramento staple. read more

I ordered the chicken pho, and the broth was really good. However, since I ordered it to-go, I was pretty disappointed to find only two small pieces of chicken in it. I expected there to be a little more meat, especially for the price. read more

I've had pho where they wok fry it with garlic first which adds a great depth of flavor. This one definitely hit the spot. I ordered to go and wished there was a bit more broth. The kimbap bulgogi roll is also good. It's a cute spot with extra seating outside. Friendly service. Look forward to coming back to try their other dishes. read more

This spot used to be the former June's Cafe. The narrow diner has a long counter with a few tables and chairs along the side. You can watch the cooks at work while you eat! There are options to choose items from the refrigerated section or you can order hot food. You go to the back of the restaurant and order at the register. Had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon, make sure you pay attention to the hours, they close at 2:00 on Sundays. I got the chicken pho which came with a Chinese doughnut. Very interesting combo. The amount of chicken was just right, I would have preferred more flavoring with the broth however. Maybe I'm just used to traditional pho? My brother loved his beef pho however. Service was friendly and I dig the retro vibes here! Totally coming back to try the beef pho next time. read more

Very small place, service is order and pay before you eat. They have hot cold food prepackaged to go or eat there. Food seems a little pricey, the Galbi Jjim I got was a little too sweet for my taste, it would fit someone who likes to eat food on the sweeter side. Although the kimchi did help offset the sweetness, I would've liked more. The little rice cakes with the rice makes this dish loaded with carbs, My wife's pho was surprisingly good. The portion is a bit small for the price, but it was good. Overall, I would not go back, but it's not because of their food or price, it just doesn't hit my taste. read more

Meeting a friend for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, she recommended we come to Southside Super. I had never heard of this place or dined here before so I was excited to try something new! When we arrived, it was fairly crowded, but we managed to place our order at the register and snag a seat inside. Unfortunately, having arrived later in the day, all of the hot and cold to-go items were sold out. I decided to try the chicken pho from their made-to-order menu. My friend ordered the spam fried rice. The food came out relatively quickly, and you can tell that it is absolutely made with the utmost care, love, and highest quality of ingredients. This was hands-down some of the best chicken pho I have ever had in my life. I will definitely be coming back to Southside Super, especially earlier in the day to try some of their grab and go items, as well as more of their menu. read more

Great service, definitely a local-spot vibe. There are both prepared / to-go (warm & cold) and made to order food. I got the Vietnamese meatball sandwich that came with a tomato dip. To me, it was bland and I was a little disappointed -- and I really had high hopes because of the good reviews. It was around $10 and so I wasn't too upset. I would go back to try the pho (recommended by the server) and the to-go items. I went an hour before closing and the to-go items were all gone already! I loved that they have some Japanese drinks & snacks! read more

Southside Super...what a fabulous name for an eatery. No idea it's one, but I think that's the point. I looked up the history of this hole in the wall. Used to be June's Cafe, Japanese American comfort food. And, prior to that Mary's Fountain. Lots of Asian American history in that place and the surrounding neighborhood. Haha, what does this have to do with the food...nothing. But, sometimes you go somewhere to bathe in it's history. Loved the counter seats where I imagine countless conversations of the Vietnam war when the place opened in the 60's. Read it here: https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/a-bite-down-memory-lane/28932577/ Oh, food is good, and has plenty of parking in it's own lot. Hard to find seating when it gets busy, which it does on Saturdays. read more

This is probably one of the best places to eat in Sacramento hands down. The aesthetic is very welcoming and professional. The food is 10/10. I absolutely loved the fried bread they give you with PHO, so unique and delicious. They have a variety of hot and cold foods. Great spot! read more

I really wanted to like this place because of all the good reviews. The spot is small and cozy. It has 50s diners vibe. I like that there is a parking lot also. The Egg Salad Sandwich was a 3/5. The egg was pretty good but everything else was a little bland. The beef pho was also a 3/5. The broth tasted like it was homemade in an amateur type of way. It tasted like how I cook at home...and that's not a good thing. I would not come back here if I am craving for pho. read more

On this visit, we ordered the Vietnamese meatball sandwich. I like the flavor of the meatballs and the bread was crispy on the exterior and fluffy on the interior. The tomato dipping sauce was okay as it was overly sour/tangly. I prefer more savory seasoning on my sandwich. I really enjoyed the Bossam. The pork belly paired very deliciously with all the provided ingredients. I would definitely order this on each subsequent visit. read more

I heard the egg salad sandwich here was a MUST, but to me it was a BUST. Maybe social media just hyped it up too much for me but she was sooo bland. The furikake didnt add much flavor or texture either. And overall-- it lacked salt. It just felt like i was eating mayo bread. I added salt and it was a little better, but not worth the $9 imo. I do have to say the bread was pretty soft. The person who rang me up was super kind and welcoming. The spot is pretty small inside, so I recommend eating on the tables they provided outside! read more

I think all too often we forget what a meal is. Can be. Should be. Well, here, is it. The staff moves amongst the narrow, corridor of a kitchen like a well rehearsed ballet, never replaced by ai. The food sizzles, the music vibes, your eyes watch and your mouth waters. More than excellent food, it's the callback to little hole in the walls, the expansion to the sidewalk meals in colorful chairs and passerby's getting the chance to stop and ask "that smells amazing - what is that?" Go eat. Go alone. Go ahead and order extra and sit in the silence of yourself while you chew. Because all that matters is this bite - and it is excellent. read more

I have heard good things about this spot on tiktok, specifically their pho. I stopped by to grab a kimbap around 9AM, it looked like they just stocked up for the day luckily. To-go items are slightly more pricy than typical Viet/Korean spots but that is to be expected considering the location. Their menu does a good job of introducing both cuisines to those who might not be familiar. read more

I've been here on multiple occasions to pick up some prepared bulgogi japchae and egg salad sandwiches! I've also tried their prepare kimbap. Everything is wonderful!

I ended up at Southside Duper having had to go on the hunt for a new pho spot after learning that my go-to pho spot closed and my other favorite is only open on weekdays. It's small little restaurant m tucked away on V street with only three indoor tables and bar seating but don't let that deter you from checking out their spring rolls and pho. I have a hard time finding chicken pho and I blame Turtle Tower in San Francisco for making me a fan of the Northern style pho because here and there I crave it but it's awfully difficult to find it in Sacramento. Im glad Southside Super can fill this void. The chicken pho is made in the Northern style. The distinction is the clear and more subtle broth. You aren't going to get a ton of sauces and garnishes on the side with this bowl of pho. There is no siracha and hoisin sauce to punch you in the face and wake you up after a long night out. Still, there is a lot of flavor to this type of pho and it's an incredibly comforting dish. The chicken makes for a lighter meal than beef but it's still a satisfying meal. The service was efficient and friendly and a team member did mention they are working on adding Vietnamese coffee to the menu. I think that will take things to the next level for this spot and I'm looking forward to having Vietnamese coffee with my next bowl of pho. read more

Service was nice and informative. Food came out within a couple of minutes. Couldn't help myself had to indulged in a couple of plates. As for ambiance place was small with a couple of bars seat to view their open kitchen and a couple 2 seat tables along the wall. So nice small with open kitchen view. Will have to go again to try other plates read more

This is a hidden gem. Our friends introduced us to this small restaurant in Sac. It is a Korean and Vietnamese fusion. We ordered the rice porridge and the pho chicken.

My family has been coming here since they opened. This place is a Sacramento gem. The food is amazing. I think they have the best kimchi fried rice and chicken pho ever. There is grab and go hot/cold food as well as hot food made to order. Order at the cashier and find a place to sit. Indoor seating is limited but they have outdoor seating that can seat 4-6 people depending on how many tables are available. The interior is cozy with a great esthetic. Everyone that works there is friendly and awesome. Go early because they will sell out! Also the pickled jalapeños are delicious. I wish they sold kimchi--also so good!! read more

Tried Southside Super on a Sunday afternoon and it a packed house! We decided to just do take out and eat at home and only got the items in the deli case. Since it was the afternoon, they didn't have much left. I was really looking forward to trying the kimbap, but there's always next time! We got the commoner's rice (came with pickled mustard greens) and an egg sandwich. The egg sandwich was decent, but nothing stood out. I like how they tried to incorporate different textures such as having whole pieces of boiled eggs. The commoner's rice was the highlight of the meal. The braised pork belly was soft and flavorful. Loved the quail eggs too! The register is at the back of the shop and the tables and seating is in the front. I'm not sure if you're supposed to order first and then sit down, since we weren't really greeted when we came in. A pretty narrow and tight spot so keep that in mind. The gentleman who packed up our food was very friendly though! read more

Southside Super - Egg sandwich and commoner's rice - Korean Near Me - Sacramento, California

Nice little spot in downtown for a quick bite to grab and go or to dine in. They make a limited amount of hot and ready foods and some cold options each day. There's rice dishes, egg sandwiches, masubis, kimbap, and more. read more

Finally had a chance to try Southside Super, their hours are limited and cater more to the lunch crowd. Location is quaint, plenty of street parking, and also a small dedicated lot to the side. I love the decor and aesthetic of the eatery, they did an excellent job maximizing a small space while keeping it cozy and cute. Due to the small space, make sure you walk all the way to the back and order at the register first, before you claim a table to sit! The service here was A+, the server who took my order was very friendly and welcoming, he helped give some recommendations on popular items. I was hoping to try their premade kimbap in the deli section, but it was late in the day so there were none left. I ended up ordering 2 items to go: - Xiu mai: a vietnamese style meatball served as a sandwich or over rice. I opted for the sandwich version per the server's recommendation! The baguette itself was delicious, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sandwich was served with a soupy dip, which wasn't really my style- it was tomato based but not super flavorful, and kind of too acidic for my taste. - Lemongrass beef noodle salad: bun thit nuong with lemongrass beef. I could definitely taste the lemongrass flavor, but the beef was a little on the salty side. As others have mentioned, the fish sauce is not super flavorful. But, I did really appreciate all the fresh greens and herbs that were mixed into the noodle. A really refreshing summer dish. read more

I bought the Braised tofu dosirak AGAIN and it was simply delicious again. Always love the flavors and service from this place.

Recently visited for lunch. Affordable price compared to a lot of other lunches downtown. Easy to find parking, a good amount of seats within the restaurant. I ordered their tomato and meatballs with an egg. The meatballs were flavorful but I really liked their pickled veggies that came with it, which I thought gave it a nice touch. I also ordered a side of their pho broth. That was so delicious, I really wished I got their pho instead to be honest. Next time I visit, I know what I'm going to order. All in all, I enjoyed my time at southside super. If you're in a time crunch, they have already made items that are quick to pick up and go. read more

The food quality has gone down hill it's not that good anymore we won't be coming back also the prices have gone up in everything. Owner never says hi to anyone keeps super arrogant and introverted kinda weird when you open a restaurant don't you think? read more

In a nutshell; small neat place to try good food. Can also grab pay and go as well. Can get a little crowded and cramp a bit but still a pleasant experience, staff were all great, food is good, and would try again. There is a small lot available on the side to park but can get filled easily if busy. Kind of reminds me of very local eatery places in local Japan. Overall neat place if you don't mind the limited space and still want to enjoy some good food. read more

Small and cozy spot offering light yet authentic Vietnamese and Korean dishes! The staff was very patient, especially with first-time visitors taking their time to decide what to order :) Indoor seating is limited, but there are about five outdoor tables available as well. Many cold items are ready for grab-n-go, while hot dishes are freshly cooked to order. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned. They seem to offer rotating menu so definitely a good reason to revisit. Located on a hip downtown Sacramento street, it's the perfect place to enjoy a meal and then take a stroll afterward. There are plenty of hidden gem shops to explore nearby! read more

Food was very good and it felt homey in there. Although it is only street parking, it was not hard to find for us.

They may close as early as 12:45 and act really annoyed when you ask if they're closed even though the sign says 2:00.

Wow! Great food, and a good spot to grab a quick bite to go. I like the concept of having a hot and cold deli to quickly grab something. I've been looking for more great places to grab kimbap and this place fits the bill. Plus, the food is tasty and the service is good. I tried the Spring rolls with shrimp and pork (sauce was great), and the bulgolgi kimbap. It was so great that I took some spam kimbap, cucumber salad, and another bulgolgi kimbap to go. My friend ordered the chicken pho and it is one of the best chicken phos that I 've had. I can't wait to try the other dishes. The only thing is that I wish the hours expanded into the evening! read more

A great deli and lunch spot. I had to grab some quick food for lunch and I grabbed the beef kim bap. It was good, a good amount of vegetables to meat to rice ratio. It's a pretty small restaurant with some bar stools and small tables, not good for large parties. If I were in Sacramento, I would stop by to try one of their entrees for lunch. You don't come across many Korean-viet fusion restaurants often. Parking lot is a bit small but there's lots of street parking available read more

Such a cozy comfort food spot. I visited on a rainy day and it's a vibe. The place is not big with a few tables and bar tables. You can grab and go or order off the menu as well~ service is fast and very friendly. Staff came around to ask us how we are doing and made sure we loved everything. I got the Bulgogi lunch box, cucumber salad and spam Kimbap. The lunch box is quite the substantial meal itself, I got way too much food for one meal. The kimbap is flavorful, I love the filling to rice ratio. They are made with love and very delicious~ I missed out on the egg sandwich so I'll definitely comeback for it! read more
