You must have the catfish!! This place gets packed. We came in on a Friday at 7pm. I ordered and reserved the catfish in advance because YES - THEY DO SELL OUT! Almost every table had the catfish dish because its that good. We did order a pork dish because my daughter wanted meat lol Her lost hahahaha Yes..come for the catfish. Service has improved. They have more people working which means your water gets filled a second time, get extra sauce when needed, another order of beer etc. Love this place & would highly recommend YOU GET THE CATFISH. Hope you all get the message here --- get the catfish! (Served with noodles, fresh vegetables, specially sauce and rice paper you dip in hot water) Prepare to use your hands! read more

Took my parents here for dinner and it was a fun dining experience with the DIY spring rolls. Highly recommend calling in advance to make a reservation as the restaurant is pretty small and they may run out of the DIY deep fried catfish spring rolls. For 4 people, the medium size catfish was the perfect size! It came with vermicelli, assorted veggies, rice paper, and dipping sauce. We also ordered the crab fried rice, tofu clay pot, pork chops, and the rock and roll beef. I must say after finishing the spring rolls, everything else tasted mediocre. The fried rice didn't stand out and a bit too salty. The pork chops were a bit dry, the tofu clay pot was very flavorful but too salty as well. The beef was tender but the flavors was alright. Next time I come, I would just order the large catfish spring rolls and maybe the pork or beef skewers. read more

Tay Giang is the only place in Sacramento that serves up DIY catfish spring rolls, and is great when you're craving something healthy and different. Grilled Butterflied Catfish DIY Wraps (Spring Rolls) 4/5* Tay Giang's version is ok and can satisfy my cravings, but it is a copy-cat version of the original slow-baked catfish from Southern California. It seems the catfish here is deep-fried, I believe to cut down on the wait time, but I still prefer the original Vietnamese version where they can take up to 45 minutes to slow roast the catfish. Still, this version is tasty with strong marination and slather of scallion/peanut oil. The deep frying creates a lot of crispy pieces for added texture to your spring roll. But warning.. if you order the small catfish, there isn't much meat and is mostly fried crispy parts, so I recommend the medium fish. Like all Vietnamese dishes, it comes with loads of fresh veggies and herbs. I also like that they provide the flattened vermicelli noodles (banh hoi) instead of rice noodles. They also give you a variety of sauces: tamarind fish sauce, regular fish sauce, and freshly chopped chilis to spice up as you'd like. Authentic Catfish Claypot 5/5* Catfish stewed in a peppery carmelized sauce. They didn't have the usual boiled egg with it, but this dish was bursting in flavor. Sweet, salty, savory, and lots of black pepper with hints of spice from the rest chilis. Best eaten with rice to soak up all the sticky sauce and flavor. This dish sends me back to my childhood days. Bun Bo Hue 4/5* Flavorful and lots of meats and veggies. I'm not a spicy eater, so I thoroughly enjoyed this BBH. Most other places make it too spicy right off the bat, but here they let you add your own spice. The noodles are springy and broth is perfectly salted to enhance the beefy flavors. Banh Xeo 1/5* Don't get this. This was terrible. The batter was so thick and deep fried, inside had too much bean sprouts and onions and not enough pork or shrimp. I've never seen onions in a banh xeo before and it was weird. The batter was what really ruined everything. Banh Xeo is supposed to be thin and crispy, but this was thick and crunchy. I've also tried their pho here and it was decent but not memorable. The star here, of course, is the catfish spring rolls. They do have an extensive menu though, serving a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and well as vegetarian-friendly. They've gone thru tough times during the pandemic and I've seen vandalism and broken windows, but I'm glad they survived the pandemic, because this is the spot when it comes to Vietnamese catfish dishes. I'm hoping they stick around for many more years; we often frequent Tay Giang for dinner. read more

I have been wanting to try the catfish wrap for a while and I finally made it. I called to make reservations and put in my order at that time. By the time we sat down and got our drinks and put in the rest of the order, the catfish was ready. It was fresh, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend. It was also beautifully presented. There were only two of us so we ordered the small for $60 so a bit steep. However, The menu indicated a small would feed 1-2 people but it could easily feed 3 and possibly 4. We also had the salad with chicken and that was refreshing. I would definitely come back to have the catfish and try other dishes. read more

So one of my friend's said that I had to try this place. They are famous for their fried catfish. So I went there to check it out. It is in a strip mall across from the college. There is ample parking and we found a spot not to far away. When driving down Bruceville you can see their sign at the corner. However from the parking lot you really don't see any signage. We entered and there were only two tables occupied. They greeted us and lead us to a table. The lady brought us water and then an older lady came to see if we were ready to order. My wife said we needed some more time. The menu is huge with so many options. They even have Pho here too. We of course got the catfish and she said a small one since there were only two of us. I told her I ate a lot. I hop it was big or I anted a big one. We got the lemon grass pork and the chicken fried rice. Started with that. The lady said it was a lot. I was hungry though. She said we would have to sit at a different table since all of this food would not fit at the small 2 person table we were at. She moved us to a 4 person table. The food started coming out and there was a large plate of what looked like raw vegetables and pickled stuff to. A plate of vermicelli I think with green onions and peanuts on it. I asked the server what all this was for and she said it was for the fish. The pork came and then the big fish. It looked pretty big for a small one. I wonder what a big one looks like. The fish was really crispy and it was good. I am not sure it was worth the $60 bucks but I did like it. Plus it came with all the extras. I really loved the flavor of the pork. It was really yummy. The fried rice was great too. The old lady had to come out and show us how to eat the fish. They had brought out some wraps and a hot water thingy to boil it a little. She told us to put the wrap in the hot water and then put it on the dish. Load the fish and vegetables and other stuff and wrap it up and then eat it. I of course made a mess of things but the wife s were looking picture perfect. I'm a guy All in all the place was really good and I would definitely come back to try more food. it was very clean and the staff really friendly and helpful. The place was a decent size. It was getting fuller as time went by. read more

I love catfish and some friends, well they're really family at this point, said they had a place that has catfish like we've never had before and they weren't lying. I love new food experiences and even more so when the food is good. We had the largest whole fried catfish I've ever seen. It's so hard to explain the flavor, the rub/crust was crunchy, salty And slightly sweet all at the same time. It comes with rice papers and veggies to make your own spring roll. The fish was so good, there was a sardine sauce I believe. Our family said I should dip the fish but it nearly burned a hole in my throat (thanks family ) I'm not a spicy food Guy. Overall great experience, great company and Great food! read more

*4.5* Update post over 1 year later! Tay Giang has gotten popular enough to the point where there is a chance you will actually not be able to eat in on a weekend if you don't call in a couple of days before to make a reservation, which is great news for them and not so great news for us. My family found this out the hard way when we showed up on a Saturday after a long day of driving and were unfortunately told they did not have room to accommodate us. But wait! They let us know we could order an entire catfish to go (although only small ones were left in stock), which from ordering to walking back out the door took exactly 25 minutes for the catfish and two plates of beef and shrimp skewers. They provided us with 3 boxes of fresh vegetables, which was way too much and therefore the perfect amount, rice paper, and many sauce containers. Eating this in the comfort of home was a revolutionary experience, and when we uncovered the metal foil lid we were greeted with a catfish that appeared to be the same size as the XL from the year before (see pictures for hand comparison) - the only kind of inflation I can accept. The light, crispy, savory fish was just as I remembered, and the beef and shrimp were both very solid in their own respects. Thank you again! read more

The best Vietnamese spot to get grilled fish spring rolls. Their food is a bit on the expensive side, but most of the dishes are very delicious and worth it. I personally like the grilled mussels, grilled fish spring rolls, fried chicken wings, and shaking beef. I would skip on the calamari as there is too much batter. I recommend calling in and reserving a table and fish as they tend to run out. Service is slow because its family ran and there's only 2 servers. Overall, food is very delicious and I highly recommend! read more

We came here on a Thursday evening. Got there right when they opened and they got packed quick. They initially gave us a small table because we were only a party for two, however, based on what we ordered, they immediately offered a bigger table to us. We ordered the fish and it was delicious. We probably could have skipped the beef carpaccio (bo tai chanh). The place is pretty small. Go early. Definitely try the fish! read more

Tay Giang -- I've been here several times, so how could I not write a review yet? This place is one of my favorite spots and hands down has the best fish spring rolls in Sacramento--and maybe the only place around that does them this well. That's really what they're known for, and for good reason. The fish spring rolls are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with herbs. The dipping sauce is delicious without being overpowering, which I really appreciate. Everything else on the menu is solid too, but the fish spring rolls are the star of the show and worth the visit alone. The only downside is their limited hours--but honestly, that just makes this place even more special and desirable. Highly recommend if you're in Sacramento and looking for something authentic and unique. read more

Seriously impressed me from the start. I called ahead to order their fried fish, and right away, the staff was super nice and welcoming on the phone, which already set a great tone for the experience. When we got the food, it was absolutely delivered. The fried fish was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor--perfectly cooked without feeling heavy. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food here. The flavors were bold and comforting, the kind of meal that makes you immediately want to come back and try more of the menu. The vibe is casual and comfortable, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Service felt genuine, not rushed, and that honestly made the meal even better. Best for: Family meals, comfort food cravings, or anyone looking for solid Vietnamese food in Sacramento. Between the great food and the warm service, this was an easy 5 stars for me. I'll definitely be back next time I'm craving fried fish. read more

Came in on a Sunday as last minute dinner plans, and did not realize how popular this place was. For my party of 3 people, they asked us if we made reservations before hand (which we obviously didn't have), but decided to wait it out which took about 10-15 minutes before we were seated. Just by observing the place while waiting, it just seemed like they were short staffed and nobody was rushing to buss tables so there were a few tables open, they just weren't clean. Also, a lot of families come in groups here, so it did seem like a full house. We ended up getting seated in a tucked corner of the restaurant, and it took a while for us to get water and our orders taken. My table ordered the DIY spring rolls with the fried catfish, beef carpaccio, and the grilled pork chop rice plate. Overall, everything was very good!! My friend mentioned that the rice plate was supposed to come with pork skin, but they ran out, so they added extra vegetables to the salad on the side to compensate. The beef carpaccio was probably my favorite out of everything we ordered. It originally does come topped with a TON of peanuts, but we requested it to have none due to allergies. Note: we came in during 100 degree weather outside, and this place barely has air conditioning, if any at all. I walked out of that place covered in sweat. read more

Tldr worth the drive. Make a reservation for next time to be safe We came for the fried fish and it was delicious. The fish was very flavorful and wrapping it is always fun too. This is just one of those dishes where if it's good, it's good. If it's bad then it's bad lol. Today was definitely good. We also ordered the beef carpaccio, grilled beef and prawns, and butter garlic chicken. These were also tasty! Nothing super special but I would happily order them again to eat. I came early with my group and luckily we were able to be seated but definitely recommend making a reservation just to be safe. read more

One-of-a-Kind Catfish, One-of-a-Kind Wait Second time here, and it's definitely an experience if you haven't tried it yet. People rave about their fried catfish spring rolls-and honestly, they're not wrong. You'll need to call ahead to order the Bánh Hỏi Cá Bông Lau Nướng (Grilled Butterflied Catfish), which is their signature dish. You can choose between small, medium, or large sizes, serving anywhere from one to four people. Here's the catch: even if you place your order 30 minutes to an hour in advance (like we did), you'll likely still wait another 50 minutes once you arrive. If you've got time to spare, great-but if you're on a schedule, this spot might test your patience. The fried catfish leans on the sweeter side, with a sugary fish sauce glaze that's drizzled after frying. A few bites in, it started feeling a bit too rich for me. It's designed to pair with dipping sauces, but since the fish itself is already quite sweet and salty, it can get heavy fast. The oil tends to settle at the bottom, so when you flip the fish, that side's drenched-though if you love fried food, that buttery finish might be right up your alley. The greens are a highlight-crisp, fresh, and generously portioned. We also ordered the cuttlefish plate, which arrived nearly two hours later-after we'd already finished the catfish. Between the 50-minute wait for the fish and 30 minutes to eat, timing clearly isn't their strong suit. All in all, I'd give it a 4 for the experience and uniqueness-this kind of dish is hard to find elsewhere-but a 3 overall because of the long waits and slow pacing. Service was okay; it seemed like one server was managing the entire place. For the pricing and wait times, I'd say this is the kind of place I'd happily go to if someone suggested it-but probably wouldn't go out of my way for. Still, I'd definitely recommend it for the experience of the dish itself, because it's something you truly don't find everywhere- Group gathering/Family kind of establishment. read more

Ok let's start out with the fact that every THING I ordered was delicious. We came for the spring rolls with a whole fish and the sauce, the noodles, and the fish was fried and served to the T ! And the t is for TERRRIFIC. We got a side of shaken beef salad and it was delicious! The waitress wasn't always present lol but we called her for what we needed . This place is located in a plaza across from CRC community college and by many different vendors! So you can find whatever you need nearby . Back to the food, if you love fish and spring rolls, then get here. NOW. read more

Thank you to all those that post reviews, I took their advice-called to make a reservation for two AND you need to reserve the fried catfish dish. I made reservations for Sunday at 5pm, I preordered the small catfish and we added the beef carpaccio. Everything was so fresh and DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place and dish-well worth it! As we sat at our table which was close to the front entry, they turned many people away for not having a reservation. By about 6pmish (an hour after opening) not only did they turn people away-they said they ran out of the catfish. This place is open Thursday-Monday 5pm-9pm; closed Tuesday and Wednesday. The ambiance in the restaurant is nice and quaint. The restrooms were clean and overall and nice place and location for dinner. Ample parking. This place is a hidden gem-although not really a restaurant to go to as an impromptu-reservations are a must! It is a must experience. I would definitely come back here with others who enjoy catfish or Vietnamese cuisine. read more

The biggest highlight of my recent Sactown trip and only really decent Viet restaurant is Tay Giang. Most notably is their fried catfish with all the trimmings. The flavors they used to season and garnish the fish before and after a perfect deep fry/bake is amazingly crispy and flavorful. To enhance the experience further, the herbs, pickled veggies, lettuce and thin style rice vermicelli seals the deal inside a rice paper you prepare and roll up to your liking. The other dishes rhat were equally impressive are the shrimp wrapped in sugarcane and the beef carpaccio. The beef in particular is a marvelous balance of herbs, onions, lime plus presentation makes them top notch and so tender. I did have their three color pudding (che ba mau) and that was bland. Sticking to the aforementioned hand wrap foods here! read more

The food is good. The prices are reasonable. But, I'm not sure it's worth waiting 55 minutes for. We walked in for dinner on a Thursday night. We watched four tables around us arrive later but somehow get their food sooner. Not sure what the secret is but the kitchen seems to prioritize catfish and DIY spring roll orders since that's what everyone else seemed to be eating. If you're looking for a quick meal, this place sadly isn't it. read more

You really have to plan strategically to dine here. No joke, my friend has been telling me about the fried catfish in forever. Their hours are 5-9 pm Thursday to Monday. Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you try to come on the weekend or Friday night. There is usually a wait, unless you come at 5 pm when they just opened. Also, they seem to be short staff. This review is based on my take-out experience for the fried catfish. We ordered the medium size, which comes with the rice paper, vegetables, vermicelli and two sauces (fish sauce & anchovy sauce). I don't know what they season the fish with or how they fry it but it is insanely good! I couldn't get enough of it. I love fish in general, especially fried fish. I would definitely get the large fish plus a meat dish next time for family of 4. Definitely 5 stars for the fried catfish. The service can use some improvement. I had called at 4:50 pm to place my order and was told to pick-up at 6 pm. She took down my name and phone number. When I got there at 6 pm on the dot, they couldn't find my order. I think she gave my order away to someone else. I end up waiting for another 10-15 minutes and she didn't even address the mistake/wait or offer an apology. It's not a huge deal and I get the impression that is the norm for them. read more

This is the place to go to for making your own spring roll wraps. It can get busy since they open at 5pm so I suggest calling right at 5pm to reserve a table. They'll ask if you want their DIY catfish and what size since that is their popular item. Food: -lemongrass pork wrap - I love the way they marine their pork. This is my go to. All DIY wraps come with lots of veggies. -catfish wrap - love the crispiness and how much green onion and peanuts they provide. They'll alway ask if you're allergic to peanuts before making this. There's two types of sauces that are provided with catfish. I like the regular one but both are good. They have fresh minced Thai peppers in case you want it more spicy. We had to ask for more wraps for a medium catfish. My husband and I finished 85% of a medium one. -kids meatball pho - I love that they offer kids meals and it's a decent portion. Comes with fruits and a drink as well! Service: There's usually only 1-2 servers so beware it can be a bit of a wait. So this place isn't a quick restaurant. They're nice but if you really need something, make sure to get their attention. Price: The pricing is reasonable. For my family of 3 we usually spend around $45 (without catfish) before tips. read more

This place was recommended to me by a native Vietnamese person. I finally tried their catfish dish which they are most popular for and it was good. I remember thinking I should bring my parents there, and they are super critical so it's rare for me to actually want to bring them somewhere new. But when I dined in (this was early June), I was sat at a table that the sun was shining directly at. It was pretty uncomfortable for me the entire time and super warm inside. I've gotten a few other dishes as takeout and they were good too. read more

We love it here! Amazing for both small and big groups! Staff is kind and best of all... The food is amazing!!! Beef carpaccio, egg rolls, and DIY spring rolls are a must!!! I am not kidding you, every table ordered their fried catfish and there's a good reason. It's is perfectly cooked and makes the best protein for spring rolls. The sauce that they lay the catfish on is so flavorful and then when you dip your spring roll in their dipping sauce that they give you- sooo delicious!! It's not just any ol nuoc nam, so much better! We also got their crab fried rice, butter garlic chicken, braised catfish and shaking beef, all so flavorful, tender, and cooked so well. We come here every time we're in the area! Hits everytime. read more

Tay Giang Restaurant - Fried Catfish DIY rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Got here on Sunday 7:15pm, this place was popping. All seats were filled and as we were waiting the ppl kept on coming. I will say it may take long to get a seat but it may take even longer to have your order taken. The main dish here was the baked fish / ca nuong as it can be shared. It does come in two different sizes but depending on when you come only one size may Be available. The dish itself is intended to be wrapped into spring rolls so if you're lazy and don't like doing things your self you're going to miss out. The fish is flavorful and you have a choice between 2 different dipping sauces. Ones a traditional nuoc mam (fish sauce) while the other is thicker and dark colored I believe it has tamarind and some thing else exotic in it, I would definitely try the exotic one. Minus 1 star for how long it took to get our food which was about 35 minutes Definitely would recommend coming here if you like spring rolls and flavor as this restaurant combines both. Worth the wait if there's a line. read more

The go-to spot in Sac for catfish spring rolls! The place is on the smaller side and can fill up quickly during dinner hours, especially on Fridays during Lent, so call ahead to see if they have any catfish available and what sizes. 6 of more people should order two Large catfish. A couple can share a Medium unless you're super hungry and can eat a large together. Their chili peppers are great and I warn those not adventurous with spice, a little will be enough for you. I love their eggrolls! I liked their claypot fish dish. Water is nice and fresh, or as my boyfriend said multiple times, "Good water!" Never had an issue with parking. Service is ok and place can get bustling with conversations and busy with lots of orders quick. This place is a staple for the Vietnamese people in Sacramento. I wish them years of continued success! read more

OMG, the food here is fire! If you know, you know they're fried catfish is super crunchy. I love the sweet flavors and the peanuts on top and you get to roll it up in a spring roll. It was so delicious and paired perfectly with the sauce. The service was mediocre as again in many of my reviews. It's an Asian establishment. You're gonna get what you get. Just know that the food is amazing. The ambience was compressed as it is a corner restaurant and the seating was tight overall they made it comfortable for our party of five and we were able to enjoy our meal. The carpaccio beef was also very delicious and I ended up taking To Go my curry chicken soup with noodles, and that was also delicious when I ate it the next day, I would definitely come back to this restaurant just for the fish. I love DIY foods and making your own spring rolls was definitely a hit for me. read more

Finally came back so I could try the catfish, and it did not disappoint. It was much larger than we expected so that was a nice surprise. We also ordered their P1 pho which had a hint of sweetness but good clean flavor. A1 imperial rolls were crispy and flavorful; they tasted great with the lettuce, noodles, pickled carrots/daikon, and mint leaves. N6 Bun chao tom thit nuong - lemongrass pork and sugarcane shrimp was super delicious and a big portion. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was A5 grilled mussels. The charred flavor reminded me of bad breath and a lingering flavor. Everyone else liked them so it was just me. Service took awhile but they were very busy so it's understandable. Overall, I would still come back again. read more

Came here on Christmas Eve to dine with my family. Because of our previous experience and other reviews to make reservations to come here, we made a reservation. We actually called in during the time they are supposed to be closed, like sometime around 4 or so, and they actually picked up the phone. We let them know we wanted a reservation and to order the fried catfish. They gave us the recommendation to get the large based on our party of 4. When we arrived at opening time, there were already like two other parties waiting ahead of us, and it seemed like they had reservations as well. When we were seated, it was sort of unclear whether they knew we had the catfish order, so we had to clarify with the lady working there. We ended up ordering a few other things. I wasn't sure how much food would come out with the catfish. I definitely feel that the recommended serving size is accurate. I would say that I would have preferred to have more rice paper and noodles to go with our dish, so next time, I would order extra. There is ample herbs, and the sauce is soooo good. The fish is so fresh and not fishy smelling! The fried texture of the fish is divine! I would totally order this dish again. Totally worth it and I understand the hype. We also ordered the grilled mussels, and they were really good! It is topped with french butter, scallions, crushed peanuts, and a side of anchovy sauce. Another dish we ordered was the authentic Vietnamese rice claypot. It had pork, taro, and celery rice topped with grilled prawns and scallions. Not sure if I could taste the celery in there! I think this dish could benefit from a little more salt! Overall I would totally come back now that I've experienced the catfish! read more

Hands down the best charbroiled catfish in Greater Sacramento! The smoky, flavorful char on the fish is unbeatable, and of course, it's not the full experience without the classic newspaper placemats--if you know, you know! My Phanmily absolutely loves this spot for its reasonably priced fried catfish, served with a generous bed of fresh veggies, rice papers, and their famous crack sauce. We ordered two large catfish and devoured every last bite. If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out. A must-try! read more
