    Beef Stew
    Kellie C.

    Saw that this restaurant was on the Michelin guide so I wanted to check it out! I honestly thought the pho was fine, nothing extraordinary, but good value. I like that they have multiple sizes at difference price points to choose from. The beef stew was spicier than I expected! It had a strong ginger flavor but it was still good. I would recommend trying the fish sauce chicken wings! The flavor was great and the chicken wings were perfectly crispy. We came in on a Saturday around 7pm and didn't have to wait for a table.

    Beef stew- worth ordering again
    Mary Jae L.

    I had the chance to try out Pho Momma for the first time for dinner. Thanks to reading the Yelp reviews I knew that there were no reservations so we arrived early, around 5:30 PM. We were pleasantly surprised to not have to wait for very long, just a few minutes. The restaurant is on the small side so getting there early is definitely recommended. The service was friendly and attentive. I appreciate that the menu reminded diners to let the staff know about any allergies. The food did not take long to come out after ordering. The beef stew noodle soup was pleasantly spicy and flavorful. The shrimp eggroll was overly fried and hard to bite into. The regular egg rolls were tasty, but did not particularly stand out from other Vietnamese, eggrolls we have had. The Pho with beef balls was fine but not better than other Pho places we have tried. The garlic noodles were average in terms of flavor but the chicken that came with it did not have much seasoning. The curry vermicelli noodles with tofu dish did not work for me. The curry was bland. The dish came with pickled vegetables and lettuce with a side of what tasted like a typical fish sauce/vinegar dipping sauce. Portion sizes were good. Parking was plentiful. I would come back, but I would try different dishes with the exception of the beef stew.

    Saturday Pho date with my girls
    Meena P.

    3rd times the charm! My girlfriends and I FINALLY made it into this famous pho haven here in Sacramento! And it was my FIRST TIME! 01/24/26 This place gets super busy! I attempted to come twice before and it way too busy and there was a wait outside and the place is small compared to other pho locations which are generally bigger in space and capacity. Ambience is nice chill and very homey! The people working there are VERY NICE AND ATTENTIVE! My girlfriends were able to secure a nice big booth while I was still enroute. Imma keep it real, EVERYTHING WE TRIED WAS GOOD! I had water, my girls got Thai Green Tea and Mango Milk and they loved it! I got a Mocha latte to go and it was BOMB! Nice and strong! And I believe the owner came gave it to me, she was soooo nice! Appetizers we got the sweet garlic chicken wings, so crispy and flavorful, fried to perfection. Crispy pork spring rolls were fresh and every bite you get a nice crunch! I ordered a small flank pho with steamed pork wontons with added Napa cabbage and carrots! Their picked jalapeños have a good kick! The small was a perfect size! Perfect for a cold day! And I was able to finish it all for once! I have a lot more to conquer on the menu next time! I think I will order more appetizers because the list was nice long one and I have heard it's all very good! Pho Momma, thank you so much for your kind service hospitality and good food! I'll be back!

    Lean beef pho
    Harbir A.

    First time here and definitely will be back. Small hole in the wall little place. Very easy to miss but the food did not miss at all! Ordered the small pho with lean beef and the portion was still very generous. The meat and broth were so delicious. With a splash of the chili oil it was perfect. Finished it all and that normally doesn't happen for me. I like that they have various size options for their pho. Saw people ordering their beverages too, will be back to try those and their wontons. Service was decent, servers nice and quick.

    That meat marrow toast was amazing
    Alan C.

    I had an unpleasant experience the last time I was here, but based on all of the wonderful reviews, I wanted to give the place another try. I'm glad I did. This restaurant received a Michelin bib gourmand, which recognizes high-quality food at a great value. This award is one step below a Michelin star. I walked in at 1:30 PM on a Thursday. The place was still busy, but there were a few tables left. The space is relatively small. I was seated right away. Everybody was friendly. I decided to start with the meat marrow toast. It was a-mazing! There was some finely shredded meat mixed in with the bone marrow, but I didn't mind it at all, because it added a little bit of texture. It was so rich, and yet savory at the same time. They gave me six generous pieces. How they could do that for only $10, I have no idea.... For $13, I ordered a small number 1 pho with everything. It came with lime, bean, sprouts and mint, the usual fixin's. It was beyond amazing. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were just the right texture, and the meats were melt in your mouth tender. Even the fatty meats were not overly fatty. Just enough to add some flavor. For a small, it didn't look very big, but was an extremely generous portion. I saw somebody order a large, and that thing was *HUGE!*. I waddled out the door stuffed, and beyond satisfied. I'm glad I came, this place definitely lives up to the hype. If I came again, and the place was extremely busy, the next time I would just do to go order and take my food home. I was extremely happy with my visit, and I will be back. Thank you! UPDATE: I had such a good meal yesterday, I came back today to try a couple of different things on the menu. It was even better than yesterday, if that is possible. It was at 1:30 on a Friday, and again, I got right in. I started out with the sausage/shrimp spring rolls. They are also known as fresh rolls. They were so amazing. The rice paper and veggies gave it a wonderful freshness that cut the richness of the proteins, and the shrimp and the sausage played very well together. The peanut dipping sauce was savory with just a tiny bit of a "zip" to it. Just enough that I noticed that it was there. I also had the garlic noodles, and I had to have them with that meat marrow again. OMG, the faces I must've been making while I ate that. It was beyond amazing. The noodles were the perfect texture, that meat marrow was again, both rich and savory, it has become my favorite item at this restaurant. You could smell the garlic when they brought the food, and it kept the Dish from being too rich. It was just the right combination. I also had a jasmine hot tea, which was very good, and I had enough of the spring rolls and the garlic noodles to take home for a second meal. The price was a bit higher this time, but again for the extremely high-quality and quantity of the food, absolutely worth it. I love this place. Thank you again.

    #1 large- not so large, needs more meat
    Yao C.

    All the Hype of Pho Momma! I heard Pho mamma was so good and it received a Michelin star mention, so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. We came for lunch on a Saturday, parking was fine, parking lot was small, and there was a wait, had to wait roughly 15-20 minutes. Also this spot is only open Thursday-Sunday from 11:00-8:30! Inside was pretty crowded, decor is nothing special but it does get busy! This spot serves drinks such as boba and Vietnamese coffee. I was excited to try the pho, I got a combo large or #1!The combo included lean beef, flank, brisket, tripe and tendon! We also ordered a #3 which is lean beef and brisket, and a Beef Stew egg noodle! My large #1 wasn't so large to me! Honestly, it needed more meat, I was still hungry, needed more tendon, more tripe, more beef! Also, noodles were overcooked! And the broth, the broth was the MOST disappointing, broth had good flavor BUT it was tooooo fatty, you can taste and feel the fat and grease when you swallow the broth, which is not a good thing..... The #3 had the same issue, broth tasted fatty and greasy. Noodles overcooked.... The e beef stew egg noodle was okay, slight spicy flavor but the noodles was the biggest bust, it was the flat egg noodle and not the skinny egg noodle.... They only had one option. Boba- blah.... Tasted artificial, the lychee boba was too icy with no lychee flavor, also got a strawberry shake, tasted like powder, Vietnamese coffee was flat.... Honestly, this spot was a huge disappointment, maybe it was an off day for them, but we were not impressed whatsoever. Sit Lo, Saigon alley, we feel is much better, but everyone has their own opinion. Respect to this spot for getting a Michelin star mention. Will not return though....

    I'm from out of town and my people brought me here because Pho Momma received the Michelin Bib Gourmand for great value and quality. I mean the meal was affordable and the pho was good. But to be honest, nothing on their menu stood out. In my opinion the broth wasn't deep and savory enough for my taste. Dressing up the soup with the condiments helped a lot. I really don't care about awards and etc. I love hole in the wall spots because it's all about the food for me. Pho Momma for me was just another random pho shop out of the many in Sac for me. The line here is about 15 mins long. So not too bad.

    Spring roll  Chili oil wontons Crab wontons Pho
    Abby C.

    I wouldn't call this my favorite pho spot, but it's definitely worth checking out! I loved all of their dishes they had that weren't pho. The crab wontons, in particular, was their standout item to me during our trip here. I liked that you could actually taste a bit of the crab in there-- a lot of restaurants skimp out and mostly fill it with the cream cheese mixture. The spring rolls honestly surprised me as well, and I'm glad that we ordered these! The sauce that comes with it pairs perfectly with it. The pho was good, just not my favorite. Even after adding condiments, I felt like the broth was still lacking in flavor. However, I enjoyed all the meats they provided in it. I'd recommend eating this right away, because once the noodles get too soft and mushy, it's not enjoyable anymore. The service here was amazing, considering we ordered these crab wontons based on our waiter's recommendation. There are a good amount of tables and seats, but because they're so busy, it can feel a bit cramped and stuffy at times. I would come early if you have a big party so they can get you situated.

    Rare large pho
    Rachel L.

    I had to check out this restaurant because I heard it was Michelin guided. My friend and I walked in on a Saturday afternoon. It was super hot so it wasn't too busy. We were quickly sat and everything on the menu looked so yummy. We ordered the rare beef pho, the chicken pho, cream cheese wontons green Thai tea and regular Thai tea. Everything was reasonably priced and it all came out super fast. The cream cheese wonton had lots of flavor and it was super crispy. Both pho were super delicious and super big. Overall everything was reasonably priced and I would go back.

    fish sauce chicken wings
    Liz C.

    We were looking for some food on the way to Tahoe and saw this Michelin Guide spot on the map so we decided to give it a try. Service was interesting...they were on the slower side to get us our food, but were quick to place the bill down when they're was no one waiting for a table nor was it closing time. We were maybe halfway through our food, but this is just more of a pet peeve. We ordered the classic beef pho and the beef stew. The beef stew had a very tangy and gingery flavor to it that isn't common with beef stews I've had in the past. The beef pho was average. The kicker was definitely the fish sauce chicken wings. New unique flavor profile that I've never tried with wings but was executed very well. It's a must-order; so delicious.

    #1 pho
    Rachel K.

    There's a reason why Pho Momma is a favorite to so many. This small restaurant offers delicious food with friendly and efficient service. It's located next so a small business plaza off of Folsom Boulevard, and can be very busy. When you walk in you can add your name and party size to the list and they seat people as tables open. There are a few seats to wait off to the side, but it is a very small space. Once you get a table you have a hard decision to make- what will you order? I ordered the small #1 ($13), and we ended up getting more items to share like the pork sausage with crispy layers spring rolls ($13), the crab cream cheese wontons ($9 for 8 pieces), and chili oil wontons ($9 for 8 pieces). All of the food was so flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. You can tell there's care put into each menu item, the ingredients, and the presentation. We ended up having a good amount of leftovers to bring home and were so happy and full when we left. It's a little out of the way for me, but well worth the drive for delicious food.

    Vermicelli Noodle Bowl with Crispy Tofu - ask for the vegan menu
    Bridget W.

    The only thing bad about Pho Momma is the wait time. This unassuming restaurant in a La Riviera strip-mall won a nod from Michelin with a Bib Gourmand, which means great value and quality. And they deserve it. I've been here many times and am happy that they maintain the separate vegan menu (ask for it) which hits all the high notes: *Veggie Pho loaded with tofu and all of the fixings. A medium could easily serve two people *Vermicelli Bowls with several add-ins to choose from *Spring Rolls that are loaded with tofu and topped with peanut sauce and spicy mayo. Sounds strange, but the combo works. This place is no nonsense and packed with a line out the door every time I've stopped by. Hopefully they expand soon!

    Garnishes
    Andrew Y.

    TLDR: Honestly, it is just an okay pho spot. Maybe their other dishes are better, so I may give them a try if in the area in the future as prices are somewhat reasonable. Came in on a Saturday evening with a friend to give this pho spot a try since it was featured on the Michelin Guide and it was freezing that night, which is great weather for a hot bowl of pho. Was somewhat excited, but disappointed in the end. There was a pretty long line around 7:20pm when we arrived. Roughly 10 groups ahead of us, but it did go by semi-quickly. Took maybe around 20-25mins for us to get a table. Service overall was decent and they were efficient! Prices are okay...comparatively to the Bay Area, they were decently priced. But maybe in Sac, it would be considered a bit high. Ambiance was overall clean, modern and simplistic. They have a few tables for 2 seats and a majority are for 4+ groups/families.There was seating on the inside for waiting as well. I ordered: 1) #1 Pho(Medium) - w/Rare Beef(6.6/10) - It was a decent bowl of pho. The beef was rare like I asked, but the soup was just warm when me and my friend received our bowls....a bit disappointing. This was before I threw in the garnishes of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos. The soup was decent - it was clear broth with beef umami throughout, without being too oily or murky. The noodles were cooked perfectly. But overall, it didn't wow me....it was just a decent bowl of pho....just wish it came to us hot instead. The stainless steel bowls were cool...more of a gimmick I guess. There was a decent amount of beef toppings and garnishes. 2) Vietnamese Iced Coffee(Regular)(5.5/10) - A bit weaker than the usual Vietnamese iced coffee that I like. I liked that they used crushed iced instead of regular ice, which doesn't dilute the coffee as much. The evaporated milk was more forward in this drink for me. I would suggest adding a double shot if you like your coffee strong as well. Overall, feels a bit over-hyped. I would say it is a decent pho spot in the area, but I wouldn't make the drive here for the pho as there are better pho spots in the city.

That said, the menu offers a wide variety of broken rice dishes, so it seems like that might be more of their specialty. If I were to return, I'd probably try one of those instead of the pho.

It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.

    You really can't beat the consistent price and the great quality banh mis! Still $6 for a large and…read more$3.25 for a small impressively. From Sac to SJ, I'm loyal to this banh mi spot! They've mastered their bread, always fresh, crispy outside, and soft inside. They're generous with their fillings too. My all-time fave is the grilled pork banh mi. The pork is so tasty and juicy, levels above any of the other pork banh mis I've tried elsewhere. Their (relatively) new fish patty banh mi is also up there! Literally got 1 small grilled pork and 1 small fish patty today because I couldn't decide lol. You'll more than likely find a line here, but it moves fast and the wait isn't too bad considering how busy they are. Came right before the lunch rush on a Thursday and waited about 15 minutes for our food (6 sandwiches). It's a made-to-order takeout structure, so order and pay for any grab-and-go items at the register, then wait for your number to be called/displayed on the screen to pick up at the windows next to the register. So glad to have this spot in Sac and to now be closer to one in SJ.

    There's no sitting area inside or outside. It's a quick To-go ready made food and banh mi place…read more Their banh mi is the best. I ordered #2 special (cold cut) and #13 pork belly. The bread is crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The vegetables are fresh, pickled vegetables are crunchy and the meat is just delicious. The sandwish just hit the spot. The portion is generous and full of toppings. The staff is helpful and efficient. Although there was a long line, the line for ordering went very quickly. However, the line to pick up sandwishes had a wait. I waited about 30 minutes after ordering before my sandwishes were ready. But the sandwishes were freshly made. Just be aware of the wait time. I give 5 stars for the banh mi, but drop it to 4 stars for the whole experience (long wait time). I would definitely come back everytime I'm in the area.
