    E1
    Michelle L.

    This has been my go-to ever since Pho Le closed, but I stick more to the E1 grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles and not so much the pho. Phone-in orders are convenient, pay at pickup, wait times not bad on weekends. They open pretty early, at 10AM if you're wanting to beat the lunchtime rush. Lots of tables inside; they don't really have anywhere designated for waiting so either take a table outside or inside if it's free. The marinade for the grilled pork is also on the sweeter side. The peanuts come as whole/halves rather than chopped. Their nuoc cham sauce leans more on the sweet side rather than fishy, and their peanut sauce for the shrimp spring rolls is just okay.

    First time customer, was craving something soup based and came across Pho Ivy. Noticed the outdoor seating and store front. A few tables outside and upon entering, menus are up front. You order and pay first and choose a table to sit and the staff will bring your order to you. Since it's a lovely and sunny day, we had chose to sit outdoors. Our meal arrived within five minutes after ordering. Very fast service. I order the Pho Chicken, very flavorful. Delicious broth. Enjoy my meal, affordable and delicious. I would highly recommend. Will likely return in the future.

    I first went to Pho Ivy when they first changed names, but hadn't returned since. Maybe I wasn't impressed when the first opened years ago, but I really enjoyed my recent visit. I had the B8 (pho). Good portion, lots of meat. Broth was flavorful; seemed to be high in fat content. They do get busy. Service was pretty quick and friendly. As Elk Grove has gone through more and more development in recent years, parking in this lot has become not so easy to find at times.

    This place seems to be very popular and always busy every time I come here. None of the food disappoints and everything I had so far was very tasty! The ambience is ok but not great and I dislike the A/C and fans blowing even on a cold cloudy day! I definitely will be back! Enjoy

    We Ordered through DoorDash this time Ordered rare steak pho And rare steak with meatball pho The broth is very tasty - the portions are a good size for a large, I got full off half. I was able to request extra hoisin packets and they actually honored my request which I very much appreciated! The to go order comes with a box of the noodles, the protein and the greens (cilantro, green onion and sliced white onion) Then the broth comes in a separate container And then they give a bag of basil, bean sprouts, a slice of lemon and sliced jalapeño with one hoisin and one sriracha packet. The rare steak was good quality as well. Very happy with our order especially the taste of the broth! Will definitely be ordering from here again!

    Very good solid spot for Pho! If you're craving pho I'd definitely recommend coming here. The portions are big and priced pretty fair. We got the B1 (combination) and B2 (rare steak). The broth came out piping hot and has good flavors. There was also a good amount of meat and toppings. Only downside is that service isn't the fastest and there's usually a wait.

    Came here for dinner and it was super busy. No one greeted us or told us that there is a sheet to put your name down so some time was wasted standing around. The restruant is pretty small and feels cramped especially when full. When seated we didn't get menus or anything until after we asked. They took our order and the food came out. But we still didn't have any utensils so we had to wait again for them to ask them to bring it. The pho is pretty standard nothing stood out or amazed me. I do like that they load it with green onions/cilantro and don't skimp like other places. Overall an acceptable place for pho.

    We got here right when it opened. The place is contemporary, decorated beautifully with light-medium tone wood, and gives you a relaxing vibe. The service was good giving we were there right when they opened, menus came out, water, then ordered. It was a bit early for me to eat as I tend to not eat until afternoon. I got the Combination Pho B1. The broth was clear foggy, done right, however not as flavorful nor fragrant as I could not taste some of the key spices, specifically star anise. I tend to like my pho a bit more rich in beef flavor, whereas this place was a little less so.

    Pho ivy is a decent pho restaurant. The restaurant was full with a quick rotation of people waiting and leaving. A sign of a good pho restaurant. I ordered the combination pho, which arrived with a generous assortment of meats was plentiful and satisfying. The noodles were springy and well-cooked. The broth itself was just okay but unremarkable. It did its job, warm and comforting but not as flavorful and delicious as I wanted it to be.

    It was my first time back here after some time, and we were craving some good, hearty food for lunch, so we decided to eat at Pho Ivy. The dining room was a bit busy, so we waited a few minutes for a booth to become available. Once the table was cleaned, we were warmly greeted by the staff and given menus to place our order. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and very satisfying. I love the large portions for the price--definitely enough leftovers to take home. This place really hits the spot when you're craving good Vietnamese food in Elk Grove.

    B4. Rare Steak & Tripe Soup
    Eva W.

    I thought this place was pretty good. The staff are nice and friendly. Good customer serve. The dining area was medium size. The place looked clean. I ordered B4, Rare steak and tripe. The soup was tasty. The steak and tripe was fresh. Tripe can sometimes be chewy, but it wasn't. We also order some fries. I just had a craving for some. It came out nice and hot. It tasted like Mc D fries. My husband wanted an appetizer, we ordered salt and pepper pork. I couldn't eat it. It was too spicy for me. After the first bite, I was dying. I never grew up eating spicy foods and I can't handle it, even if I want to eat it.

    So I have been wanting to try this place and finally got to last night. It's in a little strip mall with a lot of parking. We went for dinner and there were a few tables full but still seating for us. When I went inside I was a little confused. It looked like a order at the counter and then go to your table place. A worked said to pick a table and they will take our order which I was good with. I don't really like the places that you have to wait in line to order then find a table. I started off with the salt and pepper spareribs. It came with onions and peppers mixed in. It was really spicy and my wife couldn't eat them. It was alot. Next we got the fries. Wow what a big portion and they were crispy. liked them but once they got cold they didn't taste the same. good buy. Lastly I got a large B1. The combination. Usually at places the large isn't really that much bigger in stuff they put in it but not here. It was huge with big portion of noodles and other stuff. My wife got a Small B2 and it was much smaller. The broth was nice and so were all the cuts of meat in it. I really enjoyed it. I couldn't even finish my soup. I asked for a container and the server offered me a cup of broth to go home with me. Such great customer service. I have never seen this before. I will be coming back to try more food here for sure.

    Salt and A17. Salt & Pepper Calamari
    Amabel Y.

    First time trying this pho spot and I have to say quick service, large portions and good prices! I ordered C8 with rice noodles (assorted seafood) and my husband ordered B1 large. Both bowls had a ton of toppings! They're really generous with the meat here! Broth was very flavorful that I did t need to use hoisin and sriracha sauce. We also ordered the salt and pepper calamari. Not the flavor I was expecting, it was tossed with a ton of onion, jalapeño, and green onion. The calamari wasn't very flavorful but it came with sweet chili sauce. It was crispy on the outside but not my favorite. Next time I'll stick with the spring rolls! Overall, I would come here again to try the Bo bun hue next time!

It arrives piping hot, so give it a minute to cool before digging in. It's packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The staff is always welcoming, and friendly, making my visits a pleasant experience.

The menu had a bit too much going on and in my opinion -- restaurants should have a speciality rather than offer so many items because taste and quality loses itself somewhere in the middle of 100 different menu options. I know my partner and I are pho snobs but what we had wasn't even pho. The broth was basically hot water with a tad of salt or chicken bouillon. There were no hints of star anise, cinnamon (often referred to as Saigon cinnamon), cloves, black cardamom, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds -- nada. And the noodles were way too overcooked making my dish so difficult to eat. I ordered pho and it looked like pho -- but it tasted nothing close to it. I need to share that as a reality to the owner and staff so they can make changes to the quality of their food -- otherwise, I don't know if this place will survive the competition. Also, I observed a staff member behind the counter blending a smoothie of some sort, tasting it with a spoon, and then putting back said spoon into the smoothie to stir before pouring it into a cup (and I saw the cup delivered to a party a few tables down from us). That probably isn't very hygienic and it's sad to see that's how things are handled behind the scenes here. I just happened to look over from our table and was pretty disgusted. Moving on, I hope these guys shape up because the quality and taste of food was actually bad. And, I can rarely say that about restaurants I patronize because I love supporting local small businesses. Best of luck to these guys.

When we asked to give it back for a refund we were given one, but we were also told that it had been made recently since people order them all the time. At least put it in the fridge, maybe. Then while we were eating another worker was mopping the floors all around us, and she actually bumped into me twice with her elbow, that's how close she was. Maybe don't mop the lobby while folks are eating. All that on top of seeing the person making food grab a broom with gloved hands that then prepared sandwiches without changing gloves or washing hands made me decide never to come back again.
