    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.

    The Pho was great! The marinated beef either rice was the underrated gem in this visit. Tender with a rich sweet and salty flavor. Can't wait to go again.

    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

    Spring rolls are a big portion be prepared

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Beef Pho
    Celly W.

    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.

    Shrimp Spring Rolls
    Blanca H.

    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.

I ended up ordering 2 of the same bowls because it was a limited time only kind of bowl which was a Chili Garlic Ramen noodle bowl. One bowl I ordered Grilled Chicken for the protein and the other bowl I ordered Seasoned Tofu. Side note, the 2 for $12 deal didn't include the proteins since that costs extra so the deal was only if I didn't add any protein to my bowls. Since I ordered from the app, I was able to go in and grab my order then drive back home. My food was still hot by the time I got home even after driving in the cold and pouring rain. When I got home and started eating my bowl which had the seasoned tofu protein, I noticed that they didn't put much of it compared to my husband's bowl that had the grilled chicken protein. On top of that, the noodles were extra oily and greasy and too salty for my liking. I had to drink something sweet after to get rid of all the saltiness. I understand that noodle bowls are typically oily and salty but I just felt like it was too much for my tasting with this bowl. I mostly wished I had more of the seasoned tofu protein though. I guess if I were to order here again next time, I would probably get a bowl with the grilled chicken protein rather than the seasoned tofu protein since it seemed like they add more protein if you opt for the grilled chicken.

The service was impeccable from the moment that we walked in. That includes being greeted right away. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive and on top of the details. We ordered some pretty standard items off the menu to please everyone-vegetable chow mein, lemon chicken and pot stickers. Even though these might sound like boring dishes, they actually came out with such flair! The presentation on the dishes were gorgeous. They tasted amazing as well. I love the lighting of the restaurant. It gave it such a chill vibe. It's on a very busy street but you've never know it once you walk in it kind of feels like you are more tucked away in a smaller neighborhood.. I'm definitely looking forward to the next visit where I can try some more items like their Korean short ribs, I'd love to try some of their Curry's and a lot more of their chef specials!

The woman at the front who took my order was very nice. I've dined in before and the tables are fully set up with all the necessary condiments, but today I just needed to get home and hope the food could do its thing. I ordered the pho gai, which is lighter and cleaner than the typical Vietnamese beef pho. The broth has a slightly fermented, deeply umami flavor, probably from fish sauce, along with lemongrass, chicken broth, chicken breast, and ginger. Perfect when you're stuck with a cold. It was packaged really well with chili oil, jalapeños, celery, lime, and the noodles on the side. There isn't a ton of chicken if you're looking for high protein, but I didn't care. It was so good and soothing. Nothing like sweating over a bowl of herbal soup while sick. I also ordered the Lao sausage, which has a great blend of aromatics, especially lemongrass. It comes with a sauce I'm not totally familiar with, but it's bright and limey, likely fish-sauce based, with something like charred pepper or tomato that almost reminds me of a Mexican salsa. So good. This place is awesome. I've only ever gotten soups here, but I definitely need to branch out and try more of the menu. Prices are very fair too. The soup alone was just under 1.5 liters so great bang for your buck.

No breaking up the bags into a smaller quantity.
