What a bright, fun, airy space in the Ice Blocks! This place was hopping early in the lunchtime hour. Seemed like a mix between eat-in, to-go and pick-up orders. Fast, friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for? I enjoyed their Baja Green Goddess salad with Impossible chorizo (even though I eat meat) and picked up a vegan banh mi and seasonal BLT for some friends. All were tasty and nicely packed to-go. I look forward to returning to try more things and their different locations.

I had been waiting to try Fresh Off the Boat for a while and finally stopped by for lunch. The…read morespace is roomy with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It is a very casual setup, so do not expect an elevated dining experience. We ordered the FOB shrimp and the Chicken Katsu plate. The shrimp arrived a bit too sour and noticeably greasy for my taste. The Chicken Katsu was average and lacked the flavor and crispness I was hoping for. The macaroni and cheese that came with it was also quite dry, which made the plate feel incomplete. Service is minimal since you order at the counter and pick up your food yourself. I went in with high expectations and left feeling disappointed, especially considering how popular the place seems to be. That said, I am still open to giving it another try. There are a few other dishes on the menu that look promising, and I hope they will deliver a better impression on my next visit.

I stopped into Fresh Off Da Boat to pick up lunch after some meetings in the area. Honestly, I'm so…read moresad it's been so long since my last visit, because this place serves up some amazing food. The menu changes depending on what they're making, but they have certain items that are pretty consistent. One of those is poke. I LOVE their poke here, they have their own seasoned poke mix with fresh fish, veggies and sauce and it is delicious. They offer it as nachos, a bowl, or loaded fries and while I'm tempted to try some of the other options the bowl is my go-to. The poke bowl is $15 and comes with rice with furikake as well as a good portion of poke. Like I mentioned, it's preseasoned and it delicious. The ingredients are fresh and I love their flavor combination. I would love if the bowl came with a scoop of mac salad, but with the portion at this price I'm happy to add it as a side. I ordered the spring rolls ($4) and it came with five pieces of crispy and flavorful fried spring rolls. Great value for the price. I also ordered the pork laulau ($14) and Musubi ($3) for my husband and the portions on these were also great. The musubi was hot and flavorful and they gave me some FOB sauce with the musubi that went surprising well together. The laulau plate had mac salad, rice, and the wrapped pork. The pork was fattier than some of the laulau I've had in Hawaii, but was flavorful and the whole plate was a perfect portion for the price. The team working here was very friendly and helped me get in and out with my to-go order pretty quickly. The food was packed with care and made it home and was still nice and hot after the drive. They use high quality to-go containers and line them with aluminum foil which is a nice touch. They also made sure the vents were open on the spring rolls so they'd stay crispy. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as some outdoor seating. This restaurant is a bit tucked away, but has plenty of parking. I will definitely be back, and I won't wait as long between visits, because the food is so good! Check out their instagram for specials.

Not a dealbreaker, just something to know. The drinks from the fall menu were a highlight. The Earl Grey was nice and strong, with a toasty taste to it. And the key lime pie matcha is a definite get if you have a sweet tooth and want a sweeter start to your day - topped with graham cracker, and it works. The Sunrise Burrito is vegetarian-friendly, and the eggs were fluffy. Two small misses: the hashbrowns were more soggy than crispy, and the mushrooms seemed sautéed instead of roasted. One small touch I appreciated: free water, but it was warm. Overall, good food and great drinks - just know the door seats come with a bit of foot traffic behind you.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Sacramento…read more Funny I was downtown doing a Yelp event at another coffee shop which I really enjoyed, but I had some time to kill and had heard about this really great breakfast sandwich at Immortal Cafe, so I headed on down to the shop. They are located on the corner of 11th and H Street downtown. What's really cool is they have their own parking lot, it's small but still, pretty unique feature for a coffee shop downtown. When I walked into the shop, I was instantly like " What the heck is this?" This shop is unlike any other in Sacramento, it's dark, edgy punk rocky. It's truly a transport of a coffee shop, if that makes sense. They were playing rock music. I knew I had found my place. The place had a decent amount of people in there, a mix of downtown workers and locals, some doing work, some studying, some just hanging out, like me. The worker was quite nice and friendly to me and explained the menu to me, and I decided to go with a Vanilla Latte ($6.75) and the Breakfast Sandwich ($16.00) I originally came for. They have a number of seating options and I found a spot quite easily inside. The coffee arrived first, they bring out your food and drinks to your table, My Vanilla Latte was really cute. The barista is very talented at latte art in this shop. My drink was pretty tasty, but also a very simple drink,Vanilla Lattes are pretty straightforward. Sandwich arrived shortly after and it was visually quite pleasing. Made with local eggs, lettuce, pickled peppers, aioli, on a sweet roll. It was pretty tasty, the eggs had this beautiful density look but were quite soft to the chew,it went so perfect with the veggies and aioli. Overall I had a wonderful visit and I really love this coffee shop, How many coffee shops could you be in Sacramento outside the door and Portland in the early 2000s once you walk inside. Pretty Rad If You Ask Me.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place, don't be like me--go now lol…read more Coffee: husband got a cortado and I got the coconut water americano with cold foam. We both loved our drinks, mine especially. It didn't taste overly coconut or like artificial coconut. There were shaved toasted coconut bits on top which were fantastic. Even my husband who claims he doesn't like coconut loved my drink. Cold foam is a must add. Food: tried the breakfast sandwich and chickpea salad. Both were fire. The chickpea salad might be my new fav Sac food item. Staff: very friendly and quick! Everything came out really fast and they were moving thru the line quick too so don't let a long line deter you. Other: they have some great local food, coffee, and snack items to buy. I'm a sucker for cool merch so we snagged a couple of their Starbucks-style water cups and a skull coffee spoon. It was all super reasonably priced which was a nice touch. Looks like they do wine and beer too, my friend and I definitely going to check out the happy hour later this week. Whole place is 10/10

So glad we chose this spot. The vibes and food is amazing. It's also dog friendly so a plus for us. I forgot what coffee order we did but we thought it was okay but still got the job done. Tree House Salad w/ Chicken & Avocado 4.5/5 Honestly this salad is exceptional. The dressing is super simple, nothing over powering. The trail mix of berries and nuts were nice added textures. The chicken perfectly seasoned. The avocado, I thought would be in slices but it's pretty much guac and it was super delicious. Tosses together and it was a very pleasant meal. It's also a hug portion enough for me to bring half home to finish later. Highly recommend if you're on a diet and need an alternative to a breakfast burrito. Breakfast Burrito w/ Bacon 4.5/5 My girlfriend ordered this and when I took a bite it was an absolute banger. It's got every texture and flavor bomb you'd want in a breakfast burrito. Bacon is crispy, tortilla nicely toasted with a soft cheey texture, tater tots nice and fluffy with extra added crisp, house salsa delicious and cuts through the richness, mashed beans helped give a creamy earthiness and eggs were perfectly cooked. It's fire and I highly recommend fixing your cravings here. Service 4/5 Friendly staff. They serve your order to you with a number stand. But everything else is self serve from water to cleaning up after yourself. Ambience 4.5/5 Mostly outdoors. Nice and casual dining. Decorations are nice and fun for photo opportunities. Great place to chill with your pup and read a book. Perfect for quick bites as well. Definitely coming back to visit when I get a chance. I didn't get a chance to get a photo of the breakfast burrito because it was demolished so quickly.

Disappointing service experience!…read more The café was very busy and street parking was difficult, with the public parking garage closed on weekends. I ordered the 16 oz cappuccino shown on the menu, but received a noticeably smaller 12 oz cup. When I asked about it, the barista explained that the cashier has two sizes and that I had apparently paid for the 12 oz. However, the menu showed only a 16 oz cappuccino at the exact price I paid. I pointed this out calmly, and the barista offered to remake it as a 16 oz, which I accepted. Unfortunately, while making the replacement, she spoke negatively to another staff member about the situation and then loudly called out, "HERE YOUR 16 OZ," which drew attention from other customers. I remained calm and simply wanted the order advertised on the menu. I like supporting local businesses, but I expect clear pricing and respectful customer service. The café has a casual atmosphere, outdoor seating, local beers on tap, and interesting seasonal drinks, but the overall experience felt disorganized and the interaction with staff was disappointing.

This corner used to be a restaurant, bar, club and tap house. Now it's a little food court with…read moreshared seating in the middle of the space for Buckhorn Grill, Buddah Bowls & Rolls and a Mexican restaurant. I ordered the Thai sausage noodles bowl because the employee said it's spicy and that the Taiwanese sausage was sweet and fried. The Thai sausage was not spicy at all. There were a lot of noodles, so much I could not finish it. It had pickled daikon and carrots, red lettuce and cucumber slices. Plain cane sugar was so good! It is fresh squeezed and just the right amount of sweetness. My friend liked his berry lime cane sugar. My friend ordered the new clean fried Teri-Yuzu katsu chicken rice bowl. It was so juicy!!!! I wish I ordered that instead. The sauce was a little bit spicy. We had the wonton chips and dip- it was okay. The chips were too big for me and the sauces were not my thing. It was a green sauce and a red sauce. Finally the mango sticky rice cookie with some coconut flakes on top. It was the perfect chew, but lacked the natural mango flavor and a bit too sweet for me. It is a huge cookie. I feel like they used mango condensed milk and not real Mango? If it was real mango it wasn't enough. I will be coming back to try more!!!

This was my first time visiting this location. I came in on 9/4/2026 in the afternoon during my…read morelunch break. Unfortunately, my first impression of the customer service wasn't the best. When I walked in, the cashier didn't seem very welcoming, and I let her know that it was my first time there. Since I wasn't familiar with how ordering worked, especially with the build your own vermicelli noodle bowl, I was hoping for a little guidance. Instead, she pointed at the menu and said, "It's here," followed by, "Which meat do you want?" and "What sauce?" When I asked which sauce she recommended with the bowl I chose, she responded, "OG Buddha is the usual sauce ." Her tone and demeanor came across as annoyed, so I didn't feel like I received the welcoming experience I had expected based on the reviews I had read. Initially, I ordered my food to go because I wasn't sure whether the dining area next door was part of the restaurant. Once I realized that it was, I asked if I could change my order to dine in because I wanted to experience the restaurant. She seemed annoyed by my request but told me she would let the other staff know. Afterward, I wasn't given an order number or told where to wait, so I sat on the bench near the ordering area. As I waited, I noticed the cashier interacting more warmly with some of the customers who came in after me. During one of those interactions, I overheard her mention that she was hungover and wasn't having a good day. I completely understand that everyone has difficult days, but I still believe customers should receive consistent service regardless. There also seemed to be some confusion between my order and another customer's order. Eventually, the cashier told me that I could sit in the dining area and that they would bring my food out when it was ready. I really wish this had been explained to me from the beginning, especially after I mentioned that it was my first visit. Once I sat down, my experience improved significantly. About five minutes later, another employee brought out my food, and she was very sweet and attentive. She asked if I needed anything else, and I requested a cup of water. She kindly went and got the water for me. I later realized that the drinks were self serve, which I hadn't known. I actually felt bad that she went out of her way to get it for me because I would have happily done it myself if I had known! She was incredibly kind about it, though, and I appreciated her service. The dining area itself was clean and interesting. It appears that two separate restaurants share one central dining space, almost like a Jack and Jill setup, with a restaurant on each side and the shared dining area in the middle. I do think the dining area could use some improvement when it comes to instructions for finished dishes. I couldn't find a designated station to return dirty plates, and it seemed like other customers were confused about this as well. Many of us didn't feel comfortable simply leaving our dishes on the table for the bussers to collect. I ended up following what another family did after they also looked unsure of where to put their dishes. They eventually placed theirs in one of the bins the bussers were using to collect dirty dishes, so I did the same. I also wish I had been told that to go containers and bags were available for leftovers. I ended up figuring that out on my own. Overall, I think a few signs or simple instructions explaining where to sit, how food is delivered, where to get water, where to return dishes, and where to find to go supplies would make the experience much easier for first time customers and probably easier for the staff as well. Now for the food: it was delicious! I was genuinely impressed by the quality, freshness, and texture of everything. The food was definitely the highlight of my visit and would absolutely make me want to return. Overall, the food was excellent, and the employee who served my meal was wonderful. I think clearer instructions for first time customers and more consistent customer service would make a huge difference. Unfortunately, my initial interaction with the cashier made my first visit feel uncomfortable and left me feeling a little out of place, but the quality of the food helped redeem the experience.

I think it's entirely worth it; it levels up the banh mi as a lunch sandwich so well and makes it extra filling. Regarding the flavor of the banh mi itself, I think it is a great place. The bread is not too crunchy, so if you prefer that, you may have to go somewhere else. They really fill up these sandwiches with a lot of vegetables and meat, which I like a lot. It's not skimped at all, and adding the egg from home just makes it a bit more filling and tasty. the vibe this place gives off is an in-and-out type of area. You order upfront at the cash register, pay right away, get your food, and then eat at a table. It is nothing too fancy, but it is a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch. The inside is very spacious with many four-seater tables that could be moved together for a large party. They also have a very small grocery market inside that sells sauces, snacks, ramen, and Vietnamese ingredients. Don't expect too much, as it is more of a side feature. I did try their pho before and it was okay; I would rate it around a 3.5 out of 5. There could be other places that are better, but as of now, this place is solid. I give five stars for their banh mi because I keep coming back for them. Additionally, the customer service is top-notch. The team is very friendly, so I don't have anything to complain about regarding this place.

It's extremely clean and the staff were incredibly nice. Was greeted upon entering the restaurant and the food came out quick. They had quite a bit of customers dining in and picking up to-go orders. Now for the food review itself. I ordered a grilled pork bahn mi with added pate, and pork sausage spring rolls. The bahn mi was good, but not the best I ever had. I wish the bread had more of a crispy crust like a traditional bahn mi, instead, the bread was soft. I also wish the grilled pork had a bit more flavor but it was still good. The sausage spring rolls were good but also felt the sausage lacked flavor. However, the peanut sauce was delicious so it really amped up the overall flavor. Interested to try their soups next!

We came for a late lunch and split a Family Meal Bucket between three people. It comes with 4 sides, your choice of sauces from their extensive list, and 10 pieces of chicken. The worker was super friendly and helpful throughout our time there :) We also got a dozen of oysters because they let us know they were doing happy hour pricing ($2.50 an oyster) despite it not being their listed happy hour time. There were maybe 3 other parties there at 3pm on a Saturday when we were there, plus a person or two at the bar. The oysters were decent, though I did have one that tasted a little off, and it came with a good hogwash. The chicken is EXCELLENT, super juicy inside with a nice breading that was crisp, not too heavy or oily and perfectly seasoned. It was honestly good on its own already, but the sauces were great. We picked three sauces (i think it was lemon pepper, cajun, and buffalo) and they each came in bowls to dip pieces in and the lemon pepper and buffalo were our favorites - the buffalo sauce had a nice butteriness that really complimented the chicken. The sides were also amazing! The corn bread was tender, soaked in honey and sooo delicious and the collard greens were super flavorful with a little bit of vinegar tang that helped balance out the richness of everything else. The mac and cheese was good, though some bits were a little too salty, and the salad just a good way to get some fresh healthy bits into the meal Bawk! was an amazing meal and I'll definitely be back and try a few different sauces and sides next time! It was a great deal and a nice space to hangout with some friends for a while over tasty food. Definitely come check it out - and hopefully I'll get to visit the speakeasy next time
