Food was amazing and priced better than most Vietnamese places I've been! I got the bun cha gio thit nuong, shrimp and pork spring rolls. Highlight was probably the spring roll and peanut sauce. A lot of places water down their peanut sauce, but this place has it right for me Service was fast and ambiance was awesome as well. Many photos, art, and decor representing Vietnam! The outside could use a little clean up, but don't let that take you away from trying this great spot read more

Hidden gem.com! If you're looking for authentic flavors this is the place to go. I had bun bo hue, and it had the broth flavor down to a T. It needed to be spicier, and the only chili option was a thai chili no chili oil on the table. I also got the vermicelli platter and the meat was well seasoned, and nuoc mam wasn't plain. The service was on top of it despite a slight language barrier, and they gave us all the sauce we needed. The place itself was well decorated and although it looks like a hole in the wall outside its so cute inside. read more

Stumbled upon Co Bo Saigon when another restaurant was closing earlier than we expected and my husband wanted Bun Bo Hue. It wasn't busy around 8pm but we were seated quickly. Food also came out super quick. Husband said it was the best Bun Bo Hue he has had so far. My sister liked her Pho Tai. I tried the Bo Ne and found it delicious. I've been craving a good avocado shake since my pregnancy and was pleasantly surprised to find one here. It was absolutely delicious and one of the best avocado shakes I've had in a long time. I think we may have found our new favorite spot! read more

Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly service. We were hungry after running some errands in South Sacramento area and the wife wanted some Vietnamese food. This place was a great choice! Clean restaurant except the floors are a bit sticky. But other than the floors the interior is really nice and well done. Definitely check out Co Ba Saigon! read more

The beef rip pho was delicious and huge!! Waitstaff was very friendly and took great care of us. The spring rolls and Thai tea were yummy. The only thing I would point out is that all five water cups that were at our table smelled very strongly of bleach so we didn't drink any water. Not sure if it just happened to be our cups, but it was very late in the day and we were super hungry so we just ordered different drinks. Pho was flavorful so will definitely coming back to eat here again. read more

FOOD - Seafood With Rice or Egg Noodle: I ordered mine with both types of noodles, no veggies, and dry. It came with fish balls, squid, shrimp, and tobiko fishball. I liked the addition of tobiko fishballs. The flavor was good but the broth could have used more flavor. 3.5/5 SERVICE: I came with my family and parents. Our server was friendly and engaged with my kids. He was very accommodating to all of our asks and needs. Service was great except my mom didn't get her food until everyone else was almost done with theirs. We had to ask about her order as it was coming out. Then she felt rushed because she didn't want us to wait on her. 3/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back and try other items. Hopefully they don't forget any of our orders. read more

Not bad at all...this location/spot has changed ownerships a few times so I was reluctant to come back but much to my dismay they have a variety of dishes I really like. After reading some of the latest reviews and I had a craving for Bun Rieu We ventured back to try Pho Co Ba Dishes we ordered: Canh chua/Sweet Sour soup with cat fish Camalized Pork belly Bun Rieu All were delicious and tasty Service was a bit chaotic but not enough to complain Note: location/area is sketchy due to the parking lot activities! We will definitely come back and try their other dishes Bon appetite read more

Went here on a cold winter night in February with my siblings for dinner. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers, but was not overly packed, which I prefer. We ordered the spring rolls and the duck rice plate as an appetizer. I liked both dishes, but did prefer the spring rolls and the peanut sauce. Both dishes were good. I ended up ordering a small bowl of pho for myself and it was good. My siblings all ordered pho as well except one who ordered the Bun Bo Hue. We all liked our dishes and the customer service was excellent. I did not know am old friend of mines family owns this restaurant so it was a nice surprise. This restaurant is located next to a liquor store, which is busy and has a lot of customers coming and going. Will be back again read more

Came here spontaneously because my friend and I wanted pho on a Sunday evening and it was conveniently opened later than other pho spots. We came in and were immediately seated. They have a great selection of different dishes on their menu and I ended up getting a medium pho tai nam gan and for the price, the portion was unbelievable. There was a significant amount of pho noodles and they do not skimp on the protein either, plenty of meat and tendon! The tendon here was cooked so well, soft yet still chewy in texture just the way I like it. The noodles themselves were nice and bouncy and although the broth was a tad bit bland and sweeter than I expected, I think the spices used in the broth helped give it more flavor and aroma and with the addition of scallion oil/nuoc beo, it was a solid bowl of pho. We also got two orders of their sugar cane juice/nuoc mia and it was nice and sweet! We were taken care of by Tony and a man whom I believe is the owner of the restaurant. Both of them were extremely nice and accommodating which made the dining experience that much more enjoyable and pleasant. Casual atmosphere and relatively clean with cute little booths perfect for a party of two! Give this place a try if you're in the area! read more

This particular restaurant spot always changes but I am glad I gave this place a try! I definitely think they now have better pho and food options than the past previous restaurants. I got #27 which is a pork chop rice plate. It was so filling! Great portions for everything it came with and the server gave me a side of broth which complimented the meal so well. My family got their pho and the broth was flavorful. I tried the tendon in the pho and it literally just melts! Best part ever. The space is clean and open. The servers are very nice and welcoming. I'll definitely come back! read more

Stopped by here while running errands in Sac Town. We got the family dinner for 2 - canh chua shrimp, caramelized catfish claypot and stir fried veggies ($45.99) plus the offal plate appetizer ($17.99). All dishes were amazingly good... the com gia dinh reminds me of the dinners I had with my family as a kid. The canh chua soup is one of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!! Staff is so helpful and attentive, esp our waiter and Tony :) bathrooms are super clean and there is plenty of parking. read more

YUM! after a complicated few minutes of trying to figure out my order, Ive decided on Bun Rieu with Xtra BLOOD! (How vietnamese) DEEE-LISH! best broth I've had since moving to Sac over a decade ago. I've had a majority of my viet food profile comparisons from Westminster/Garden Grove (IYKYK) and I hella miss it! I'm super picky when it comes to our native dishes, and I'm happy to say that this place came the closest to authentic! If you decide to try... it will not disappoint! A lot of the places around sac overcook the pork blood and it becomes rubbery. They DO NOT do that here. I also ordered the Bo Luc Lac. I know every place makes it different, but I find that you're able to control the temp of the beef more if they're cut into cubes instead of thinly sliced. So the cook was a little overdone for my son's taste but the flavor was still good! Portion size was okay with the meat, could be better but nothing that would ruin the experience for us. I did stop in pretty late, was happy to see they were still open! Their kitchen stops receiving orders at 9:30! Love that for Sac! Will definitely be back to try everything else they have to offer. TLDR;; -TAKE OUT -BUN RIEU WAS FIRE! loved the authenticity -Bo Luc Lac flavor was good (pretty standard) portion of meat was on a the slim side but still just about filling. -They seem to be pretty popular so ask what's still available depending on what time you pop in! Some of the dishes may be sold out. -kitchen closes 9:30 read more

My boyfriend and I wanted something warm after our snowboarding trip, so we came here. Parking was super quick to find! There wasn't a lot of people in store, but the ambiance was nice and it seemed like they had a lot of online orders. We both got the Bun Bo Hue, and it came out fresh! I like my bun bo hue super spicy, so I had to add a bit more chili sauce. Our waiter was super friendly as well! read more

We happen to find this place by chance on the road home back to the Bay Area, and initially we were confused on where it was because they had changed their name. It's in the same plaza as New Asia Supermarket, and it's the only pho place there. For a late lunch, we were seated immediately. The menu is quite extensive, but we came in for pho because we were craving some noodles after the weekend on the slopes. We ordered the spring rolls to start with, and I personally ordered the seafood pho. Spring rolls were freshly made, soft and delicious. I liked how my pho's soup was light and clear. It didn't taste super heavy or full of MSG. I love the fried garlic and chives in there. I've never encountered seafood pho with fish balls, but these were really good. It had 2 shrimps and plenty of squid. I tried the beef pho soup from my husband's pho, and I liked how it tasted well seasoned with real spices... not MSG. I'm very MSG sensitive so I'm glad I'm not getting a headache while typing this. Our server Tony was very attentive and nice to us so I gotta say that's a plus. Super friendly guy! This place is definitely worth the stop. read more

My pops and I came here for a nice little lunch. This place is located in the New Asia Supermarket plaza. First impression, this place seems brand new. It was pretty quiet when we walked in, there was a good amount of people in there. The man who sat us down didn't speak English well, it actually seemed like he was in training. But he was very nice. My dad ordered a medium #1 (pho dac biet) and I ordered a small #2 (pho tai) and we also got the fried calamari. Food- The calamari was very good! I haven't had good calamari in a while, but I loved the batter on it and the squid wasn't rubbery. The pho was good! The broth was super flavourful and there was a good ratio of noodles and meat. My dad and I both enjoyed our meal. Service was very sweet and kind. My dad accidentally spilled his water on himself and the workers immediately came and helped clean up the mess! They even gave us a towel so my dad can dry himself up. So thanks for that :) read more

Solid food and great customer service. I was sad to see Pho Sacto go but after talking to the server, I was told they still have the same cooks! We tried their grilled pork plate, catfish clay pot, egg rolls and bun bo hue tonight. Their catfish was perfectly cooked but was a tad too salty and a bit fishy. It was still good regardless but make sure it pair it with some white rice. All of the dishes were a thumbs up in my book but the stand out dish was definitely the bun bo hue. Highly recommended. read more

I believe this use to be where Pho Sacto was. This building changed a couple of ownership. Decided to stop by for lunch since the hubs said there was this new place to try from one of our friends. Ordered my usual bun rieu because it's something known to me. The flavor is there but something was missing that I just can't get my tongue out. The pork ribs could have been simmered a little long so the meat would fall off. But it's good but not the best that I have had. Hubs ordered the Bo Ne something like that. He said it was like eating an Asian version of a steak fajita. He wished he ordered the steak medium rare instead. The spicy pepper sauce was legit. It had a really good kick. read more

Came on a whim because I wanted to try some place new. We got the #86 Banh Canh Cua and the #60 Caramelized ribs. Both solid choices. I would order again. The ribs were sweeter than how I usually have them so if you're a fan of sweet meats, this is for you. The banh canh also had a plentiful amount of meats, shrimp, and fish cakes. read more

Bun mam did not taste authentic. The fish was not fresh, the eggplant was not thoroughly cooked, the straw mushrooms were stale, and the broth was off. I didn't get why their bun mam had straw mushrooms, snails, and green/fried onions. The place was not busy. There were plenty of seats. The music choice was not pleasing (maybe it works for other guests, but not for me). I didn't try any other dishes but hope they are better than bun mam. read more

After watching one of the Vietnam episodes from No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, I wanted to try Banh Canh Cua. It was #86 on the menu here. When it arrived it looked very good, and it turned out to be very tasty. I am not sure of all the ingredients, it definitely had shrimp, pork with bones, quail eggs, thick noodles, fish cakes, green onions and some sort of meatballs. I added some bean sprouts and the leaves (mint?) that were provided with some hot oil. The service was very good, the waiter was surprised that I ordered this dish, and he has some recommendations for next time, #42. read more

First time. Came here since family wanted pho and it was practically the only pho restaurant that was still opened in the area after 8 pm. Wasn't busy when we arrived but people slowly started coming in not too long after we ordered. Family ordered pho while I opted for the vermicelli dish with grilled pork and egg rolls. I would had preferred to have had a bit more noodle in mine but it was still yummy. Family ordered pho and per family the broth was tasty and they enjoyed their noodles. Portion size was alright. Overall, not a bad place for pho. read more

The duck noodle soup presented a commendable balance of flavors and textures, distinguishing itself from others in Sacramento with its rich, robust taste. The duck was expertly prepared, tender, and easily separable from the bone. The banh canh, with its satisfying thickness, was particularly noteworthy. It featured a well-developed flavor profile and generous portions of meat, meeting the high expectations for this traditional dish. The staff was very attentive and the food came out quick. read more

Can always count on a Viet restaurant to be open on a major holiday! My family stopped in on July 4th for a quick brunch. Food: - Pho Dac Biet: it immediately had a very deep aromatic smell that I couldn't quite place. The color looked very brown and couldn't see any oil at the top of the broth. The broth is very different than what I'm used to as it had larger measurements of spices than normal; I'm thinking way more cloves and maybe nutmeg? The broth tasted veeeery roasted and nutty. It seems like the recipe forgoes using oil and instead adds a roasty-ness instead. It wasn't my favorite pho broth but it still tasted good nonetheless. - Bun Bo Hue: Also not my fav. It tasted like a generic soup base with which they added BBH spiciness. It lacked a whole, complete, rounded flavor. My mom agreed and was disappointed by the BBH. - Banh Canh Cha Cua: THIS WAS AMAZING. Possibly the best banh canh cua I've had in Sacramento. The broth was incredibly thick and absolutely blasted me with crab flavor, just like how it should! There's plenty of shrimp, pork, fish cake, quail eggs, and crab balls so every bite should have some protein. The broth was so good I nearly finished it! Would definitely come back here for this. Service: Typical Viet service. They told us to pick any table and we sat ourselves at the end of a large 8 party table because all of the smaller ones were either taken or dirty. My mom commented that the restaurant felt dirty but hey, that should be expected right? No one came by to refill water either, also expected LOL Restaurant is pretty standard fare and I wouldn't be dying to take anyone here. Unless they're looking for a bomb banh canh cua! read more

Where's the damn 6 star!? Haha Good God, this is the ultimate- best Pho spot that I ever been! Like for real for real! Got here right when they opened, staff was setting up and cleaning up. Located in the Viet area part of town, everything Viet around me, love it! The first place I tried, CC machine was down, so I just drove a block away and discovered this gem. One by one some customers came in, they all had the brilliant idea of getting Pho for bfast! When it comes to Pho there are a few things that I look for. 1. The broth, its gotta be homemade (no packet pho please). And their broth was slamming! So so good! 2. The available condiments. I love when a Pho spot has the green sliced peppers in the vinegar. Not only did they have that. They also had, I think, really diced small, Habenero peppers. Oh man, a little bit of this stuff goes a long way!! Again, so good. 5 thumbs up to this amazing Pho spot!! read more

05.09.2023 - Lunch with my gangstas I remember being introduced to this spot when it was called "Pho Sacto." Got the Pho Combo. The broth is very flavorful, soup is topped to the brink of spilling and it's served HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Just the way I like it. Some places be serving warm soup and by the time I add my beansprouts and lime, it's cold. PCBS don't be messing around when it comes to the generous amounts of meat. To all the meat-lovers, this is where you'll get your protein fix. Not only do they give a lot, they're chunky pieces. Next time, I'll probably get something other than the combo. It was too meaty for my taste. Being from the East Bay, not many pho places offer small sizes anymore. It's either regular(medium) or large. So you can say that I was pretty stoked when I was able to order a small bowl of pho. I love that they have 2 types of chili. I believe one is dried and another is fresh. 2 giant spoonfuls of the fresh chili in my bowl of pho with sriracha drizzled around and a dollop of hoisin sauce got me feeling so satisfied. Mouth is burning, nose is running - but I just can't stop! This is one the 2nd time I've been here and I can see why my little brother loves this place. Deducted a star because our party ordered several drinks and it took FOREVER. Drinks touched our table when we were all done with our meals and ready to pay. Don't know when I'll be in Sac next. But hopefully, not too long. read more

The soup in banh canh cha cua is thick, almost gelatinous. It has a hint of crab flavor. There are 2 shrimp, 2 fish cake, 2 crab balls, 2 quail eggs, and a piece of pork that comes with it. The fish cake and quail egg tasted like it's been sat out for a long time. It had this fishy sewer water taste to it. And it was really chewy. Not good. I liked the tapioca noodles though. I also had the grilled pork spring roll, it came with 2 pieces. Just remember to ask for extra dipping sauce. The portion of the sauce was filled halfway through the tiny container, it was only enough for one roll. Favor was fine. read more

Co Ba Saigon - #3 pho in front, #23 NY cubed steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Literally the worst pho place ive been to!!! When we went there, it was about 8 o'clock and I understand they close at 10, but they had none of the beef dishes that I wanted, so I ordered the beef rib pho after being told no to several other dishes. My fiancé got chicken, which he really didn't want so that was already a red flag. When the food came, I was absolutely shocked at what came out. The chicken was absolutely dry and tough. The beef rib looked like it's been sitting for days. It was extremely tough, grey and tasteless. Not to mention there was a little beef on there that was actually edible. There was a whole plate that we kept pulling out of our suit that was not edible. If I could give this place a negative star I would, would not recommend at all. read more

I'm surprised to see such high reviews for this restaurant. Unfortunately that wasn't my experience. I ordered the grilled pork rice plate (#24). I wish they had an option of the grilled pork rice plate with egg rolls included, like other Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to in the area, but I didn't see that option on the menu. The first bite I took of the pork was mushy which took me by surprise. I've never had that happen before when I've ordered this dish elsewhere. In addition, the portions were really small. I also ordered a side of broth, but the broth had a weird taste to me. They also didn't put any green onions in the broth at all, unlike all the other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. I think it tastes better when green onions are in the broth. I didn't think it was worth the price. The prices here are the same as their competitors but it was less food and less flavor. read more
