    Went in for a banh mi at lunch just now to go. The sandwich was made quickly and so fresh. Wow. This pork belly banh mi is amazing. 10/10. Their sauce. The pickled veggies. The pork belly and soft bread. All of it. Delicious. $10 and some change. Pretty fair to not have to drive to the south. I'd like to try more Sandwiches next time. Service was quick and friendly.

    P2. Pho Dac Biet and spring rolls with grilled pork and shrimp. It comes with a nice creamy not to sweet peanut butte sauce! Very refreshing I usually take them home and eat them through out the day! The broth is very flavorful the Mexican in me wants to ruin its flavor by adding limes on top of limes however, the soup needs no extra additives. I literally eat here multiple times a month, after I donate plasma, after long nights drinking, hard workouts this soup always brings me back to life! I don't think there's anything else that I can eat this much and feel as strong and feel that body is thankful for the nutrients it just received! I haven't tried much of the menu but I'm sure it's great! The service is always excellent! The lady's are always very sweet!

    Round steak and meatballs pho
    Marichris P.

    Okay this place has been in our backyard for years and I don't know why this is the first time we've tried it, it's so good and their portions are great! And maybe we went here before but it's been for sure at least 3 years since any recollection can be made haha Anyway- Hubby and I went for a quick lunch date, ordered 2 pho bowls- he got the thinly sliced rib eye steak. And I got the round steak with meatballs The bowls are $15/$16 each Huge bowls Had to take mine to go The broth is filtered really well and tastes clean The soup comes out hot The meat is good quality They have the hoisin and sriracha right there for you Service is friendly And the dining experience is casual - you walk in and they're you sit where you want Will definitely be coming back!

    We always love to eat all here at this restaurant. The egg roll is really crispy and the food is always very fresh. Service is good ! They try to get to you as soon as possible.

    Number 11 broth on the side  Asked for clear noodles which I really liked
    Hedy R.

    Had lunch on a Thursday with 6 friends a little wait for the table it wasn't so bad. Place has only a few tables but everything looked clean and inviting. We ordered A variety of dishes and 2 appetizers. The pork eggrolls were outstanding crispy on the outside with flavorable filling. I had a noodle dish sorry don't know the name But really enjoyed it I asked for clear noodles it had ground pork and shrimp and all The aromatics went for the soup on the side which is so much better as you can control The amount of broth. I just remember it was the number 11 and listed as a speciality and it certainly was. Looking foward to coming in again.

    Came here for the Bun Rieu based on a friends recommendation. And I'm happy to say it did not disappoint! The portion was huge, I couldn't finish and took the rest home. The remainder of my leftovers filled the entire to-go full container! Love all the different things that's included, especially the pork blood. My husband ordered their pho dac biet but was disappointed that the broth was way too sweet and a bit too salty as well. The noodles in the pho weren't good either. I'd stuck to the bun rieu for this place. I didn't like the bathroom experience, it's at the end of a long narrow hallway that's crowded with stuff, so there's not enough room for when people are walking in the opposite direction. And the bathroom itself was kinda gross.

    Combination pho 2 with all the meats
    Elizabeth D.

    Pho Bistro was recommended to us by a Vietnamese friend, so we knew we had to try it! We both got the #2 pho bowl with the usual combination of meats. I love tendon, and Pho Bistro got it right! The tendon was so soft, and all the meats were cut to the right size and thickness. The broth here is slightly sweet but perfectly balanced, I would say. It's not a heavy broth, but there's definitely lots of beefy flavor. For condiments, they had sliced chilies in vinegar, which I love if I want some extra sourness in my soup that day. I thought the amounts of beef, noodles, and broth were just perfect. They have "lonely" bowls with just noodles and broth, including a version on the kids menu for $7. I appreciated that they brought a basket with utensils for all of us, including scissors and forks for the girls (without us needing to ask). Service was friendly and kind. Pho Bistro is definitely a top pho spot for us, especially in the Elk Grove area.

    We were craving some Vietnamese noodle soups, and I especially wanted to try their pho (my go-to item). The overall bow was a decent sized portion. The broth tasted both a little too salty and a little too sweet, and the noodles were slightly undercooked. The staff were friendly and attentive and made sure we were checked in on every so often. Overall, the food was decent, but not the best.

    Came here on a Saturday morning and it was packed. Service was still fast though. I wanted to go with something other than pho, so I got the hun rieu. Honestly, it was so-so for me. I couldn't taste crab fat flavoring. I wish the eggrolls came with lettuce.

    Wendy F.

    Came on a week day, still were pretty busy and filled with people. Decent sized pho and pretty tasty too. Lots of flavor in the broth. Probably one of my top pho places in the area. Staff were super friendly and there were a ton of tables to sit at. Can get lively inside and it's a great place for families too

    Hu Tieu was excellent!!
    Nana N.

    Our first time here and I have to say I just know I will be a repeat customer. Their Hu Tieu is THE BEST in Elk Grove! It has everything! Shrimp, ground pork, pork bone, quail eggs, etc. My son ordered the kids size Hu Tieu and even he said it was delicious. Customer service was great. They gave us everything we needed without having to ask: napkins, straws, forks, spoons, extra bowl, scissors, water, etc. prices are good too. We shall return with Papa next lunch time!

    Pork and A6. Shrimp Spring Rolls (2)

    Food is bom.com! Stopped in for a quick lunch on Christmas Eve. I had the pork and shrimp spring roll. My sis got the bun. Vermicelli with charbroiled pork, shrimp and fried spring roll.

    The big three B's here (the BBB): Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and Banh Mi Xiu Mai are my go-to items. Soupwise, the broth of the bowls has good depth of flavor, perfect portion size and the accompanying veggie tray has all the right herbs. BBH for instance, has a generous portion of authentic pork blood and ultra tender beef slices; the addition of a small spoon of hot chili oil rounds it all out. Banh Mi Xiu mai is Vietnamese meat balls in tomatoey red sauce that pairs heavenly with the crunchy crusted french bread. On another note, the egg rolls, though crispy, contain an oily taste that does not agree with me so I am not a fan of that one. The fresh springs rolls on the other hand, are great. Servers - ultra nice and accommodating. Dining room is kept in reasonable order and generally clean each time I have visited. Pho Bistro is now a place I frequent when craving the BBB.

    This is my top favorite place to go to get individual hot pot. Some days you just want your own hot…read morepot and not share your germ. There are some days where it's a hit and miss for flavor wise. But lately it seems to be just right . Before coming I like to check on yelp to see how busy it is and add myself on waitlist . By the time I get there my table is ready . Tasty pot is always packed, the waitress is very nice. I go there so often they know my name and what I want to order. My favorite pot is the beef hot pot. You can't substitute items but you can always just trade with a friend if you don't like it :). Some days I feel like getting the Thai broth they are nice enough to let me get the beef hot pot with the Thai broth. For spice wise I tend to get medium because I will end up on the toilet if I get very spicy . But sometimes it's worth the booty burn. I love sauce each table has sauce you can mix it with. I like to mix mines with garlic soy and bean sauce . I like to ask for chilli oils with the pepper and put it in for a nice kick . You have to ask for it it's not available on the table . I like coming here during lunch because you get a free green tea or black tea. Black tea is my favorite but I like sugar in my life so it can be on the sweet side . You get an option of noodles or rice. If I am feeling skinny I get the noodle option. They give a lot of rice I can only eat half . Portion wise it's good for an American size and cheaper during lunch. During mango season I like to get their mango sago . Not too sweet and it makes a good dessert if you are having a sweet tooth. For everyone that is leaving bad reviews for tasty pot they probably order mild because that had no flavor to me . You have to get at least medium.

At 1:20pm I went inside to ask how much longer it would be because it said there were still 4 groups ahead of us and hadn't moved. The host then said he moved me to another list and that it would be 1-2 more groups ahead of us. They sat three more groups ahead of us and then sat us at 1:55pm. I understand wanting to service customers that check-in in person, but then that should be your only method of taking customers. We waited in the car because there was nothing on the yelp check-in that said to go inside for faster service. We would have gone inside if we had known.

Soo long ago, right? Well, their ramen has always been great and tasty. This is a small restaurant next to other small business. The atmosphere is casual and cozy. They have art pieces and pictures of their ramen on the walls. There are booth, table and bar area seating. They have a variety of ramen, rice bowls, salads & some appetizers. Theres soda, sweet drinks but no alcohol serve. We came here for dinner around 6pm, not busy which was perfect. We were greeted my the server and seated right away in a booth near the entrance. Food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the #3 Red-Tonkotsu, #11 Shio Ramen & Unagi Rice Bowl as well appetizer, Shrimp Har Gao. The #3 was creamy with a spicy, savory kick to it. The #11 was light with subtle taste, not too intense like the miso or soy sauce flavors. Both ramen were flavorful. My dish was the unagi rice which contains rice, scrambled eggs and grilled eel. The portion was pretty big, tasted buttery, and tender, with a sweet-savory balanced. It was good but I've had better, meaning that the way the eggs were made, made a difference. Just know this dish did said scrambled so I wasn't expecting the slighty beaten running eggs that im used to when eating this bowl. The shrimp har Gao was mediocre, not flavored until you dipped into the sauce. Overall, all 3 dishes were well made. Appetizers was not my favorite. Service was great! Will definitely come back more often.

They had a pretty big menu and I will have to try their spicy tonkotsu next time. We all had leftovers so they provided us take out containers to take home, so we were happy with the potions as well. I would definitely return and recommend this spot for those that are craving ramen.
