Went here again today and it was still delicious as always. Don't sleep on rice plates at pho restaurants. The grilled pork rice plate (not pictured) was a 5/5. The pho is always legit. The service was great also. The waitress kept checking in on us. She even split a boba for 2 toddlers (no extra charge) read more

So many people talked about this place being so good and honestly didn't get the hype . I'll start with the egg rolls that was my favorite part they were actually so good would come back just for that. The salt and pepper calamari was okay the flavor on the breading was good the texture of the calamari was a little too rubbery and it was on the fishy side as far as flavor The pho was mid in my opinion the broth was way too rich it's like they added some sort of beef flavoring of some sort, I'm not sure but I really just prefer a clean beef broth was not a fan wouldn't be back for the pho. Service was great though! read more

Our party of 2 came over for lunch at around 11 am on a Saturday. There was a good amount of seating and it was pretty spacious which gave us privacy to talk. Our orders came out quickly as well, around 10 minutes after placing them. Pho City Special Beef Noodle Soup - One of the most rich flavored soups I've had. It was so comforting and had such a depth of meat, savory flavor. I opted for the rice noodles which were chewy and went well with the soup. The variety of meats were all very soft, the only struggle was eating the tougher tripe. Overall, I enjoyed the depth and richness of the broth and would definitely come back for their pho dishes again. read more

Pho City - Pho City Special Beef Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is my go-to spot when I'm craving either a bowl of pho or want a rice plate. I personally always order the Number 1 Pho City Special. The broth is always flavorful and I absolutely love the amount of protein that they give with each bowl. The no.1 special comes with different types of meat for those protein lovers. The condiments are conveniently on the side of each table with little sauce bowls/plates where you can make your dipping sauce for the meat (see my 1st photo). I am almost always seated nearly right away unless it is super busy, then maybe a few minutes wait. I would say the vibe is chill or relaxed and just feels cozy. There is also a fish tank for everyone to go look at (my niece loves going to see it). The charbroiled pork chop plate is a must if you aren't big into noodles. Pho City is my favorite and hopefully will always be. read more

I've tried so many different pho places, and a fellow Yelp Eliter led me to Pho City. I'm so glad they did. This is hands-down my favorite pho in the entire Sacramento region. The broth is incredibly rich without being heavy, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The noodles come out with just the right amount of chew, and the meat is always tender and generously portioned. It isn't gamey. Even the simple things fresh Thai basil, crisp bean sprouts, bright lime show they pay attention to quality. Service is consistently warm and quick, and the staff are friendly. The space is clean, welcoming, and perfect for either a quick lunch or a comforting dinner. read more

Still as good as it was the first time I was here years ago. The service is excellent. We were checked on throughout. The pho broth tasted so fresh. I love that they have different types of noodles to choose from for the pho. There's lots of parking outside and lots of indoor seating. They're able to accommodate larger parties as well. This was not our first time here and won't be our last. read more

Pho City is my favorite pho spot in all of Sacramento! I've been coming here consistently for years now and it does not disappoint! Came here with my friend this past Saturday morning and it was busy, but still had some smaller tables open, since their restaurant is quite large. I was seated quickly by the nice lady working at the front and menus were handed out immediately. After taking few minutes to look, a server came by to take our orders and was very pleasant. I ordered a medium #9, which is the beef pho with rare steak and well done brisket. This is my go to order, as I'm not a fan of the tendon, tripe and beef balls. The food came out quickly like it usually does, and we only waited 5-8 minutes! I haven't ordered a medium in a very long time, and it seemed rather small to me. However, I always order a large so I've gotten used to that size. As for the food itself, the broth was flavorful as it usually is, and wasn't cloudy from the starch of the noodles. This means they cook the noodles in a separate pot before putting it in your bowl. The beef, however, was a little tougher this day and I wasn't a big fan of that. I've only had a very few visits here where the meat wasn't tender, and that does change your experience of the meal unfortunately. I would still come back to Pho City any day and I would recommend their pho to anyone who hasn't been there yet! I'd also recommend their Bun Bo Hue, or the spicy beef noodle if you want to try something different! read more

Pho City is my go-to spot for a no-frills, bang-for-your-buck type of meal. Service is as expected for a family-run restaurant, and the staff seem to know me already as I've been there a good handful of times. I pretty much always know what I'm ordering, but if you're new here, they do ask you pretty quickly what you want to eat, so be prepared. Seating is your standard Vietnamese spot, with both small and large tables. Ambiance seems to somehow always be chill when I've gone, even during the lunch rush. The pho is solid. I always get the #1 medium and it comes packed with plenty of tender meat and perfectly-cooked noodles. The broth, while simple, is still flavorful. Portion size for the medium is definitely satisfying for me, and the price point is hard to beat. I've also tried their BBH and that's pretty good as well. It comes with a few cubes of pork blood too, which I enjoy (I know that's an acquired taste for some). There are a good number of pieces of cha as well, and of course tender beef. It doesn't come with a pork knuckle, but at least the flavors are on point. I haven't had an issue with the noodles being overcooked, which I've experienced in the past with some other restaurants that serve BBH. I've brought my husband to try their beef stew with bread, and he said it was definitely one of his favorite versions he's had. The baguette they provide is a really nice size, and the beef itself is tender and savory. They even serve it with a side of lime, salt and pepper, which is classic for this dish. I ordered their Thai tea once and I love that I came unmixed, with the beautiful dark hue of the tea underneath. It was pretty strong, which is how I like my Thai tea. Pho City definitely holds its own as one of my favorite places in south Sac for pho, and I see myself continuing to support this family-run restaurant! read more

Pho City is not located in the SF Market plaza in case you thought it might be. It's in a smaller lot mini mall compared to the big SF market plaza. Parking is easy to find. Service was great. We weren't sure what to get so we asked the server, and he very patiently answered our questions and checked on us often while we finished our lunch. We tried 4 different dishes. All were served piping hot which we loved and appreciated. Our only issue was there was a bit of lack of flavor. The broth was clean, and was a nice hot broth, but the flavor was not what we had thought. We ordered the BBH(Bun Bo Hue - spicy pho), Bun Rieu(tomato crab, Pho Ga(chicken)and the Duck Noodle Soup. I would say the best of the 4 was the Pho Ga. There was a really delicious dipping sauce served with it, and that made it even better. Would be curious to try their other dishes as well, and give them another shot. read more

Pho City - Number 2 pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I walked in on New Year's Eve to place a takeout order since they were one of the few Vietnamese places serving pho that were open. I ordered the medium-sized pho special and tofu spring rolls. While waiting, I sat and observed the restaurant and it seemed really nice and peaceful inside. The staff were very attentive, constantly keeping tables clean and condiments refreshed, which is always a great sign. I didn't wait long for the pho. I reheated it at home on the stove, and the medium size ended up yielding 3 meals for me, which is kind of insane. There was a generous amount of meat and a huge pile of noodles, plus all the fresh veggies you expect with pho: basil, green onions, white onion, lime, jalapeños, and bean sprouts, along with hoisin and sriracha packets. Overall, I thought the pho was very good and the portion to price ratio was on point. I've had slightly richer, deeper broths before, this one felt a bit thinner, but it still had a really delicious flavor. The spring rolls were also very yummy and fresh tasting with the delicious peanut sauce. This is great value pho, and I'd definitely love to come back to dine in and try more Vietnamese dishes since their menu looks great. read more

Been going here for years now and I just realized I never fully wrote a review which is a CRIME. This place is hands down my favorite Vietnamese place in Sacramento. It's located in little Saigon in a small shopping plaza. Inside they have seating for small or large groups of people and we are typically seated right away, no need to wait. I always get the shrimp vermicelli bowl and it HITS every single time. I also get the shrimp spring rolls and it's always packed with veggies along with the peanut sauce, super refreshing. Overall, I will continue to visit this establishment. read more

Pho City is one of my go to spot for pho in Sacramento. Their portions are huge and it comes with a lot of meat. The broth is super flavorful and doesn't need sauces. Their bowls are huge so I recommend going directly to se their sizes before ordering. Looking from afar, they look smaller than they actually are. My boyfriend eats a lot but could hardly finished a large size. Their Vietnamese ice coffee was also very good, wasn't overly sweet. Service is super quick and friendly. You pay at the register after you are done. read more

A classmate recommended pho city as their go-to pho place and so I decided to try it out because I love me some pho and love trying different places. I got seated real quick and they were very attentive and patient with my questions about sizing. I already knew what I wanted so ordering didnt take me long. I ordered a medium pho with brisket and steak. It probably took about maybe less than 10 minutes before my order came out. And i ate it up. It was so good and perfect for the weather. I love pho so much and it tasted amazing. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant, and I am so impressed by Pho City. I had the Pho Dac Biet, which came with beef noodle soup, rare steak, beef meatball, brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe. You can choose your noodles among rice noodles, fresh noodles, clear noodles, and egg noodles. I chose the fresh noodles. The portion was quite large, and the flavor was really great. The broth was rich and excellent. noodles We also ordered the Grilled Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Their spring rolls tasted amazing, it was my first time having a grilled pork and shrimp roll combo. The Iced coffee was delicious as well! What was best of all was that I didn't have any urge to drink water after having their pho, which was a huge plus! read more

3.5 stars, rounded up. My go to is Phở Xe Lua, but someone recommended Pho City, so I decided to try it out via DoorDash. I got the phở tai, because I like it nice and simple. It was fine. The broth wasn't as rich or heavy as I wanted it to be. I wanted comfort and I wanted cozy after a long bike ride. I wanted to slurp down every ounce of broth. They give you lots of noodle options to choose from. The rare steak was really nice and tender. It was good, and it was fine. I don't think I'll go back, but if someone was looking for a lighter phở option, I would recommend Pho City. read more

So glad that Pho City was open on July 4th because we I didn't feel like cooking and wanted something I knew would be yummy. They had a sign up inside the restaurant near the cash register stating that it will be closed for a period of time due to vacation. I forgot the exact dates, but it might start in 2 weeks. I usually get the same thing (a #9 large pho), but I wanted to try something new that day because I was tired of beef. I was debating between chicken pho or bun rieu, and decided with the latter because it's a more special noodle dish. I liked the bun rieu because the tomato based broth goes so well with the meatballs made with shrimp, pork, and "crab" (imitation crab) that comes with it. They also give shredded cabbage on the side that cooks fast in the hot broth. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it because it looked like they gave a lot of food, but I managed to destroy it as always since I was hungry. Service was great and our server made sure that we got our bean sprouts slightly cooked as requested. It was clean inside the restaurant, but for some reason that day we would get a waft of a musty smell. It might have been from the clean up cart, or someone walking by because it was hot that day. It was okay though, we stopped smelling it when the food came because we were focused on eating and the hot steam from the broth helped. read more

I moved from Fresno to Sacramento last August and it was so hard to find a good pho place that fit my tastes. When I came here, it hit the spot immediately. It reminded me of the good pho spots in my hometown and I was so happy to finally find a spot! Service was quick and efficient. The staff are busy people but they get definitely make sure they get the job done. Don't take it the wrong way if they don't try to ask you how you're doing or make small talk, if you've seen how busy the place gets you would understand! Ambiance was good, I went by myself. Definitely a family spot for people and you can tell that there have been customers who have come to this place for many years. I got the fresh lemonade, pho dac biet, and egg rolls. Their fish sauce dipping sauce was so good!! Perfect blend of umami and sweet. I also appreciate the side of lettuce and pickled veggies they give to wrap your egg rolls with. The fresh lemonade was also a perfect balance of flavors and was so refreshing during the hot weather. Lastly, the pho was delicious. Plenty of beef cuts and the broth was pretty good on its own. Growing up as a Hmong person though, condiments were a must for me. I hope to come back again with my boyfriend in the near future, but this place is definitely a spot to hit up! read more

as someone who's been around the block for pho (figuratively), having tried the best pho in south bay in San Jose and even all the way down to Westminter in SoCal, I am so impressed by Pho City. The restaurant itself was quite large and had many tables, which makes sense considering how good it was. I had the Grilled Pork & Rice Noodles and the portion was quite large and came with plenty of grilled pork. The flavor was really great. I also had the opportunity to taste their combo pho. The broth is rich and excellent, and I was a big fan of the wide noodles. read more

Authentic Vietnamese pho. My brother told me about this place and finally had the chance to dine in. I came here on a Saturday morning and to my surprise, it's super easy to get into the parking lot and has plenty of parking spaces. I walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. This place is super spacious for small or large parties. I ordered the #1 pho and egg rolls. Everything was super delicious. The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star is because the wait staff doesn't check up on the customers. I had to flag someone down to get more water and my table had no more soup spoons. I asked for one and the waitress never came back. I just grabbed one from the next table. So, there's no surprise to the typical service you get at other pho places. Overall, I enjoyed my food and will come back. read more

My boyfriend and I have been trying every pho spot in town, this one has been the worst so far. The only positive thing I can say is we were seated quickly. After that we had our order taken by a woman who spoke no English (not a thick accent, zero English at all) This made it difficult to ask about the menu, and our food came out suspiciously quickly. Upon digging in I realized all the meat I was given was fatty and discolored. I've never experienced this at another pho place before. My boyfriend was given all bones in his plate. Neither of us could stomach anything more than a few bites. The broth was tasty, but the meat looked horrible in both dishes. My boyfriend said his meat had a lingering aftertaste that he had never experienced. It felt as if they just went to the back and threw scraps together for us. We never play the race card but looking around I did notice we were the only brown skinned people dining at the time. We both felt unsafe finishing our food and just paid our tab and left without putting a dent in our food. This was not worth over $50. We've never had to walk out a restaurant before, but first time for everything I suppose. read more

Pho City is easily the best pho spot in Sacramento (the other best pho in Sac only available as an occasional weekend special at Saigon Oi). I am constantly on the hunt for the best pho after being spoiled daily in Hanoi. Pho City has the most flavorable broth I have found so far.

Pho City - #13 (pho tai) w/ fresh noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Usually on point but they missed the mark today. Arrived around 3. Though it wasn't busy, they forgot about our orders. We only asked for two #1's, one medium and one small both with fresh noodles. The round table next to us arrived shortly after with three gentlemen. Table behind us got their orders first (also not there when we arrived -two bowls of large pho, I know because she thought it was ours originally. Stopped by our table and realized it wasn't for us). Round table got theirs second. They were almost done eating when we're still waiting and I said I think they forgot about us. My husband finally asked the waitress what's up. She went to check and about 5 minutes later, our bowls came out. Upon checking, we noticed there were no fresh noodles. We weren't going to send it back as we're both hangry at this point. I usually do not eat the meats but I had a spoon of meat, broth with a pickled jalepeno and it was delicious. I devoured all the meats for the first time! Pickled peppers had nice crunch, sour but not too sour, pinch of sweet. Made me want to go home and make some. read more
