    Door dashed some bread and dip. Was eating it and bit into something hard it hurt my tooth spit the bread out dug through and found a piece of glass it the bread. Painful on my tooth and I'm really lucky not to have swallowed it

    Slimy discolored chicken
    Venita M.

    Today at 10:37 my husband stopped in to get me a Chinese chicken salad when we got home and I opened my salad up. I was so disgusted I wanted to puke. I have pictures of absolute horrible chicken they was put on the salad. It looks like the chicken must've been very old. It was so bad that I ended up throwing away a large, very expensive salad. it was so unappetizing. I took pictures of the awful chicken. I will never stop there again. I have eaten this particular salad for years and ordered for many different Labou's. They were always great with nice white chunks of premium chicken. This was nasty old brown meat so disgusting. I don't recommend getting anything here and wasting your money.

    The correct price which the cashier would not honor. The bottle came out to be $6.20 for a 20oz Gatorade.

    A Gatorade water bottle was charged twice the amount labeled. The barista/cashier just shrugged that that is what the price ring up as and didn't even care to make the correct adjustment blaming the new system is incorrect. The stars were for the croissant and potato bacon soup.

    I was in Sacramento visiting my family, and Our daughter had surprised us with breakfast scones, and croissants. The arrived before 8:30am so all we had do start the coffee, & tea. No cooking today I had to rush off to the airport. I had a blueberry scone it was crispy on the corners like I like it, with many blueberries, and soft inside. We warmed them up with butter on top My Sister had the Apple strudel hot and delicious I had a piece of the apple yes very good, flaky and lots of apples My family was happy this morning! Now my sister and niece's will be able order some too Thanks LA Bou Bakery & Cafe Everything that was packaged in this box was enjoyed

    First time visiting this restaurant atmosphere was really comfortable and relaxing. The cashier was very sweet and helpful. And the food was actually very delicious. I was really craving a really good healthy sandwich and I found it here. I cannot wait to go back and try other amazing Meals

Mouth-watering, beefy perfection! My second time here I had the same sandwich plus a bite of my hubby's Classic Italian and immediately fell in love with that too. The vinegar, oil, and oregano added to the salami, capicola, and proscuittini (firmer and juicier than prosciutto) made it beat other Italians. Their sandwiches are incredibly savory and filling. A medium can feed two. A large 18 inch can feed 3-4. I downloaded their app for deals and feels like Christmas when I see what's available. So far I earned a free small sub for signing up for texts. Their outdoor patio is nice and the manager/ owner is great. Feels welcoming and bright inside. My husband returned an extra twenty dollar bill that was stuck to his change. In return the manager let us pick a free dessert. We also saw him at the Rancho Cordova location and he told us he owns both. We'll help keep him in business!

I also have to rave about the guava lemonade and the green juice--both were incredibly refreshing and delicious!

The sauce was fantastic and the best part is the extra cup they give you to dip. Come give them a try.

It advertised Kalamata olives, which it does not have. Canned, sliced black olives. There were hardly any artichoke hearts, maybe 5 pieces in total and not many cucumbers, either. There was a ton of cheese, though. Some of my lettuce was a little brown which isn't an issue I'd had with West Coast. The dressing was alright, but my serving of sourdough was small. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom when I used it, I reported this to the person I assume was the owner because he came in and just started counting cash from the register, AT the register which I didn't think was a prudent business practice. They were also out of tea. While someone did greet me upon walking in, it wasn't really warm or welcoming. The vibe was lacking. Over all, I'll probably avoid visiting this establishment in the future and stick to the West Coast shop a couple blocks away. I forgot to take a photo from the beginning so I will say it was a big serving of lettuce with ample ham.

For the plant-based or vegetarians out there it's worth noting that the staff is very knowledgeable about their meatless options and they were quick to let me know that not only do they carry their own vegan fish sauce in-house, but that all of the veggie banh mi sandwiches are made using vegan butter. Yes! There's also multiple choices for a veggie banh mi - all veggie, vegan chikn, or vegan bbq chikn. I've tried them all and the vegan bbq chikn is my hands down favorite. Want pho? The vegan pho with fried tofu (veggie pho with rice noodles on the menu) is pretty tasty. Pro Tip: Off menu you can also request vegan fresh rolls with tofu

This takes me to their Folsom location which opened its doors back in late-2021. Situated in a decent sized outdoor strip mall with a mix of boutiques and retail business, this Huong Lan is located directly off of East Bidwell St and adjacent to Wales Dr. Parking is fairly easy to find on any given day and they have very reasonable hours of operation being open weekdays from 10am-9pm and weekends from 10am-8pm. Since I live in the suburbs, this location is actually easier for me and is very convenient for those that live in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and other neighboring communities. One really unique thing about this location is that they have a drive-thru for those that don't wish to exit their vehicles. However, if you're not in a rush, I do recommend dining inside as the interior dining area is quite open, inviting, and spacious. And one really positive thing about this location is that they are not nearly as busy as their other locations. More often than not, I am waiting in line (sometimes up to 30 minutes) just to place an order at the South Sacramento location. I also noticed how much of a variety this location offers including 15 different Bánh Mì variations, Phở, noodle soups, Vermicelli bows, rice plates, and a nice assortment of appetizers. They also carry several types of pearl teas, milk teas, and boba drinks. At this location, I literally entered the restaurant, walked up to the front counter, and placed my order. I ended up coming here during the afternoon on Saturday 5/30/2026 at around 2:00pm. My Bánh Mì sandwich of choice was their B7 "Grilled Pork" aka "Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng" and was priced at $9.25 (after tax). After making my payment, I sat down and within 5 minutes, my sandwich was brought out to me. I am going to be honest with everything, the bread was soft while the veggies (cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and daikon) were all laid out very proportionally. But what this Bánh Mì was seriously lacking was the grilled pork! I love a good Bánh Mì sandwich but just ONE strip of pork? C'mon guys, I've been to your other locations and they have been very generous with the proteins. However, everything tasted great and I will still give this place an above average rating based on the service, location, ambiance, quality/freshness of food, and overall experience. I also wanted to add that the inside was very clean and sanitary while the public restroom was spotless. When you factor in a very spacious interior with a convenient drive-thru at the exterior and a pleasant dining experience in a quiet part of town, I am giving the Folsom "Huong Lan" location a respectable and above average four stars.
