This place is family owned + operated. The dining area is small and maximum seating capacity is about 36 people. We arrived @ 2:30pm and the restaurant had a steady flow of customers. * please note place does give discount to veterans (with proof) We had to wait 15 minutes for our food however it was well worth the wait because not only did the food arrive hot and fresh, but it was very tasty and the flavors exploded in your mouth. The staff checked on us every so often to make sure everything was good and filled up our water whenever needed. This was our first time eating at this establishment and it's a great find & a hidden gem well worth trying. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ! Without a doubt, this is my go to restaurant if I am ever in the area again.
LaSam Pho is a popular Vietnamese restaurant located on Sunrise Blvd by Antelope Rd in Citrus Heights. Servers are alert to acknowledge you and try to seat you ASAP once a table becomes cleared. They do check on you if you need anything. Excellent service for a photo restaurant. There are 6 tables for 4 and another 6 tables for 2, but those are arranged as two tables next to each other, so it could function as 3 tables of 4 as an alternative seating arrangement (labeled Tables 8-10). You could feel like you're sharing your table at Tables 5-10. I didn't see a Table 1. Napkins, chopsticks, forks, and spoons in holders on table. I ordered the Special Beef Pho Bowl, which is on the 1st page of the menu presented like a children's storybook. It comes with a Back Rib, which requires use of hands and teeth to break it into bite-sized pieces. I could have used a knife. Broth is tasty as is. Bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno, and lemon provided. Sauces on table include soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and chili paste. I would only use soy sauce or fish sauce if you want more salt. I felt sriracha and hoisin overpowered the broth. I also ordered a Grilled Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich to go. Bread is soft. It is hollowed out on one half to make space for the meat. Enjoyable the next day if you keep it airtight in the fridge. I felt like regular customers were ordering all sorts of different menu items around me. I saw meat rice plates and thought I heard many appetizer orders: spring rolls, egg rolls, shrimp dumplings, etc. I would order the Bahn Mi again and try different dishes next time. Fun menu.
Fantastic service! So friendly and welcoming. One lady running her butt off and making it happen! Very clean and cute inside. Food was great. We got the spring rolls with pork. It was the thin sliced cold pork from what they usually put in the pho. I like the grilled pork or pork sausage better BUT the sauce they brought over with it made it SO good no matter! It's a big order so be prepared. Bah Mie sandwich was really tasty. Last we got a beef/ shrimp stir fry with fresh veggies and thick noodles. Loved the sauce! Almost a tomato flavor? So good! Definitely would order all again. Maybe a shrimp in the spring rolls. I want to try the shaken beef! We'll be back!
Food is bland, no flavor in the pho. I paid $44.00 for a kids chicken pho sub with cabbage instead of noodles, a regular chicken pho and potstickers. The broth was not hot, it tasted like water, and the worst part is there was very little protein. Do recommend ordering to go. Disappointed and wasted my money.
Very good pho! The broth was good. I also ordered the pork egg rolls which were good too. I loved the spicy sauce they served with the egg rolls. My friend ordered tofu spring rolls, but she saw a small piece of hair in it. :\ We told our server who apologized profusely and made her a new order. The server was very friendly. Prices are a little higher than other Vietnamese restaurants, but I think it's worth it for the pho.
The pho was really good! Very clean broth flavor on its own, although I always add sriracha. I ordered the eggrolls were nice and crispy and the sauce was tasty, perfect amount of spice. The special beef pho was so good. They were generous with the toppings. It was supposed to come with beef balls but my bowl didn't have any. No big deal maybe they forgot maybe they were out. The service was a little slow but it's a small family restaurant that was really busy with dine ins and to go orders so be patient and understanding! Super sweet lady and daughter working together! They were nice and kept apologizing but they did amazing! It's a clean and small little spot.
Best option for authentic Vietnamese in the area! I grew up in the San Jose area, and was very lucky to have tons of exposure to this cuisine (which is also now my favorite). Met up here with high school friends for a casual lunch hang and catch up. Beef rib pho had tender meat, well-seasoned clean broth, and the usual trimmings. Grilled pork appetizer and shaking beef were well-marinated and tender. Really enjoyed how well-run this place is and would love to go back soon.
A solid option for pho in this area. Meat, broth, and noodles were all fresh and flavorful. Seating good for smaller groups but they might be able to put tables together if you have more than 4-5 people. Service is quite friendly but it can take a minute to get your food if it's busy. We came on a rainy weekend and waited 20min for our first order to arrive. Prices are a little above average but not outrageous. Strip mall parking.
Small, welcoming restaurant with very friendly staff--you can tell it's family-owned. Service was quick and attentive. Shrimp spring rolls were a good size with a rich, tasty peanut sauce. Grilled pork vermicelli bowl had huge portions; the pork was slightly overcooked, but the vinegar sauce helped balance it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving this spot a try and look forward to trying other dishes next time!
This restaurant is hidden in a complex. You can miss it if you're not paying attention. I was a bit surprised to have a book made out of pictures as the menu. This is different from the online menu so I was able to order my veggie pho. It was savory and enjoyable. I was quite disappointed they didn't bring out my shrimp rolls as appetizer and my friend had to remind them to bring it. I ordered a pork chop with egg to go for my husband. My friend found a hair deeply lodged in her beef bowl pho. Although she got another soup to go, unfortunately I won't be returning here. The sauce with the French bread was pretty good.
Not being a local - we were so happy to stumble upon LaSam Pho! Divey and family owned vibe keeps it cozy... The food was very tasty - and the service was wonderful! It felt like we had been regulars and they were so kind and understanding with the mess my toddler made at the table. The shaken beef sunny side up egg with french bread is a must and so is their special bowl pho with the big beef rib! Only thing is I wish they put less ice in my vietnamese coffee because I didn't get much coffee and got more ice. Spring rolls were great sized and also had a tasty peanut sauce that fit the bill! Overall this was a yummy vietnamese spot found in a place we were unfamiliar with. So glad the locals have this gem and yummy goodness to satiate their vietnamese food hankering!
Customer service is above and beyond. They like to give 100% into their food and service. Got the chicken pho and it is delicious the soup base was perfect noodles were great. Also got shrimp spring rolls. Shrimp is fresh peanut sauce is amazing. I use to drive all the way to Folsom but this is now my new spot can't wait to try other stuff.
Absolutely the best pho in the region. Family owed. Expertly prepared. The flavors are elaborate! A must try!

Our little family stopped by on Thursday for dinner. We ordered the Peach Smoothie, Strawberry Smoothie, Shaken Beef w/ Egg on French Bread, Beef Pho Special and Chicken Pho Kid Bowl. Smoothies were a bit too sweet, but our food was deliciously unique and flavorful! 4/5 star experience and would return to try more! Sweet staff! SYOY! :-) read more

Finally got around to trying this place after a friend told me about their xiu mai (meatballs in tomato sauce). Thuy greeted me when I walked in and was super sweet. I went with the beef pho and meatballs with French bread. The pho was so flavorful--I just added a little sriracha, lemon, bean sprouts, and jalapeños. The broth was rich and comforting. The baguette was perfectly toasted--crispy on the outside and soft inside. The meatballs were tender and went great with the bread, and there was plenty of sauce to dip or stuff into the bread for a mini sandwich. What really stood out was how warm and attentive Thuy and Steve was with everyone. I mentioned my friend had recommended the place and described them, and she actually remembered them and their order--which was so cool. Steve came out from the back to chat too. I told them I came specifically for the meatballs since not many places have them, and they were both genuinely excited to hear that. It was such a positive and refreshing experience. The food and their kindness felt like a warm hug. Definitely coming back! read more

Brought me back to my childhood memories of real authentic good pho that you would only get at your village or hometown. I had a great time savoring the special beef pho with a large beef rib, meatballs, tendon, & slices of beef. We ordered the grilled porkchop meal and pork fried eggrolls. My wife and I will definitely be back. It is my second time eating here and my wife asked me to bring her this time read more
Found this place on yelp and seen so many good reviews i needed to come in myself. The place was cozy and clean. Service was good and pricing was average. We ordered 2 beef pho bowls, the broth was super fresh tasting not oily at all. If i had to make a suggestion i wish there was a little more meat slices. Glad i found a place thats not too far from home. I do wish they had the avocado smoothie available but maybe next time. read more

Amazing food, excellent customer service Casual Mom and Pop style dining. Beef Special Pho is one of the best I've ever had and I've had Pho throughout CA. Spring rolls are a must have as well. 10/10 Experience read more

Ordered the special beef pho, shrimp egg rolls, Thai tea, and a watermelon refresher -- everything was delicious! The pho broth was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced without needing extra condiments, and the meat was tender. Though the space is small, it's cozy and inviting -- I loved admiring the plants and their little good luck shrine with offerings. The friendly, attentive server made the experience even better. A wonderful spot for comforting pho and warm service read more

TRUST THOSE WHO YELP REGULARLY... 1st timers, and definitely not the last. Not fine dining, but the finest service. We never had to ask for anything; they asked us first and treated us very well, like family. The extra little things, like adding a 4th springroll to the order of three for two of us to evenly share, was really unexpected... and gracious. Water glasses never went empty, plenty of peanut sauce, and plenty of food. We'll be back and we hope you'll try LaSam Pho too. Recommended read more
It's just me, and I always need to have a nice bowl of warm noodle soup. We stopped by the little gem. I was conned by the old menu prices, that is my own fault, but the price is still decent. Special lunch menu - Bun Bo Hieu. I'm not use to seeing black pepper on the top but the flavor or the broths is yummy. Just enough hint of lemon grass but it's missing the spice. But I guess that is okay bc I should watch my spice level. I did take the soup home bc it's that good to me. The price is $17.99 so it's a lot more higher that other places I go to that is more near home. Chicken pho - kid size. The old menu process $5.99 and the new price is $10.99. Because it's for the kids, we took out all the additions that make the soup more flavorful (green and white onions). Even though the menu mentions shredded chicken it wasn't too shredded which I prefer. It was more like mini chunks. The chicken was good at this place bc it doesn't seem like they used chicken breast that most other restaurants I see use. Grilled pork chop with egg over pride - my daughter did good on picking this dish instead of noodles. The pork chop was flavorful and there was just a hint of lemongrass, my kids all devoured what meat there was on the pork chop. Pork chop it's a roulette on whether you get a piece with lots of meat with less fat or decent amount of meat but lots of fat. The dressing on the salad was yummy. I should just ask if o could order a salad bc it was that good. Shrimp/Pork spring rolls. Delicious as always. I don't know if I have been to a restaurant where I ordered this dish and it was not good. The peanut dipping sauce is different from the ones I see at other restaurants. It's actually a good different. read more

If you don't come to this spot, you're missing out! Got the special and OMG the flavors were over the top. I told my husband I felt like I was in someone's grandma's kitchen. Staff is beyond friendly and apologetic for a wait, which was not even a deal. Cute little place! I cannot wait to come back. I don't ever do beef pho, and this blew it out the water! So happy we came to check it out. read more
