Came on a Saturday, about a 30 minute wait for a table of 2. Plenty of menu options and great spritzers, I've never had spring rolls with the egg roll inside. I was very pleased about that! I got a green Thai tea, less sweet since I feel they are way too sugary when I order out, and the drink was somewhat bitter but I was able to drink it. The wontons were perfect, nothing they could've done better! The hopes I had for this pho was to the moon and stars, a Michelin star SEA with affordable prices? Hell yeah! The beef pho #3 was so underwhelming.... The broth was much lighter than I expected and I did add garnishments to doctor up the pho but if the broth isn't flavorful and hearty from the first sip then it's not a win in my book. The gentleman serving me was very nice, good customer service but did not check on us or refill water. Butttt tbf it was a full house in there! I would come back to try other recommended menu items (I've been craving vermicelli!) but for pho, definitely not. read more

We arrived on Sunday night around 7pm and were on the waitlist for about an hour. The service was good and prompt. We got our food 15 minutes after ordering. Both food that we ordered were excellent but I would come back during less busy time. - pho #4 (lean beef, flank, brisket) medium: good. The broth was savory, good, and not too greasy. The bowl itself had lots of meat slices but the noodles portion was too little imo. - chicken wings & rice: my favorite! The chicken wings had crispy coatings and perfectly seasoned (not too salty but very umami). The meat was tender and flavorful. read more

Okay, okay... so I can why this place is popular the Pho here is pretty good. I met up with a girlfriend of mine for lunch and Pho Momma was the perfect spot because she loves Viet food too! First and foremost, y'all know I had to try the bone marrow toast and of course, a hot bowl of fresh pho. So as far as the Bone Marrow Toast, if I'm being completely honest it's not all that and a bag of chips, sorry not sorry. I have had much better bone marrow at other spots and even at my house homemade. The crostini bread that the marrow is spread over, was also stale in my opinion. Quite disappointing about the bone marrow especially because everyone talks about it like its the best thing since sliced bread. Otherwise, the pho here is pretty good and the customer service is legit. Be prepared to wait for a table because this spot is not that big and since it was on the news, business has definitely increased so wait times are real. read more

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. read more

I know I'm a bit late in trying Pho Momma. When I heard they made it in MICHELIN Guide Restaurant list, I called my dear Vietnamese friend and schedule a lunch date right away. We probably came here at the busiest time on Saturday at around 1:30 pm. They don't take reservation and it's a small restaurant. The wait was about 15-20 minutes but gave us time to look at the menu. By the time we sat down, we knew exactly what we want. Obviously, we have to order the Pho. We got the lean beef, flank, brisket. The long-simmered broth is excellent and very flavorful. The ingredients are fresh. Most importantly, approved by my Vietnamese friend. We also try the Momma's Garlic Noodles and Beef Marrow Toast from Momma's Specials section. I would skip the toast. I expected it to be on a nice toasted baguette instead of a regular slice of bread. The beef was good and I never pass on beef marrow or bone marrow whenever I see it on the menu. The Garlic Noodles was savory but the spotlight is still on the Pho. I was drooling over the picture of Pork Sausage with crispy layers spring roll and had to get it. It was so darn good and I'm getting my veggies in for the day. They also have a good beverage menu with Vietnamese coffee, shakes, sweet teas and milk teas. Quick service because they want to be able to serve more waiting customers. This is not the place to have a relaxing chatty lunch/meal. It's eat and go unless you come at a less busy time. We had a nice meal and worth the hype. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pho Momma - Lean beef pho - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

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. read more

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.... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

With the recent awards they've gotten, you can tell why this hole in the wall is always busy! There was a self sign up sheet to check in while you wait, which for us was about 20 minutes. The tables for 2 people do tend to be smaller, so if you're looking to order a lot of food you may want to ask for a bigger table. The pho was amazing, and perfect for the colder weather.

If you're someone who doesnt want pho, they have a variety of other options from noodles to meat based dishes. read more

What appears to be a hole in the wall, actually is one of those secret want to be places located in one of the strangest parts of Sacramento. In this unassuming restaurant that doesn't take reservations, you'll find some delicious eats! Diners Tip: go with an odd hour, but regardless of when you go, be prepared to wait for a table. Large of the group the longer the wait. There's a sign in sheet when you walk in. We ordered what felt like everything on the menu, and we would definitely do it again. Service is rather spotty, but it's because the places really small inside and most of the staff seems to be working in the kitchen with only one or two people on the floor. Just go with it. Spring rolls: they are fresh, they are tasty, they just need to come with more dipping sauce. Nothing out of the ordinary just a tasty bite. Egg rolls: perfectly crispy, perfectly delicious, and filled with tasty meat and veggies. I could make these into a meal just by themselves. Chili wontons: yes please! These wontons are incredibly perfect. They are light, filled with a perfect amount of meat, and the chili sauce was so tasty. How is it possible to have yet? Another tasty bite at the same restaurant?! It's possible!! You want these! Chicken wings: these make me wanna cry. The fry on these were light and crispy, the meat just like the outer part of the chicken, nicely seasoned, I absolutely will be going back to have these all over again. The pho: the reason why everyone stands in line. I love the fact that the bowl was filled with so many wonderful different ingredients. This is my least favorite dish. I didn't really care for the broth. It wasn't as deep and rich as I wanted it to be, and I just needed to have frankly more flavor. This is one of those places in Sacramento that absolutely is worth the drive and standing in line for. This will hit all of your yum spots! read more

This is the best pho I've had in sac. It beats Pho City, Pho Xe Lau, Saigon Alley, Hanoi, and everywhere else I've tried. Went at 3pm on a Saturday and there was a line! Always a great sign. Small little place with a more urban vibe. Service was okay they didn't check in much but I don't care at all I'm there for the food Food did NOT disappoint. I got a large number one and added meat balls, everything was great. Ratings: Large number 1: 9.2/10 Fish sauce chicken wings: 8.7/10 Pork egg rolls: 9.8/10 Vietnamese coffee latte 6.5/10 Get the egg rolls and wings no matter what. Can skip the coffee. Wings were crispy but had a sweet glaze. Egg rolls were freakin amazing... I'd order 6 next time CAs they're a little small. Had some nice pickled veggies with it and cilantro but no lettuce wrap. All the meat in the pho was the best part along with the clean broth. Noodles were the only thing I thought was just okay. Next time gonna try the garlic noodles, maybe the fried calimari, and spring rolls. read more

After all the hype on social media, I had to visit this place! I've been there twice and both times there has been a line. You write your name on a list and they will call you when the table is ready. The second time I went (on a Thursday evening) we had to wait outside as the restaurant has limited waiting area. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The service was okay the first time and better the second time. The second time we went out Pho took a very long time to come out. The Pho was good. I really like that they have different size options, starting with an x-small, which is plenty for me! My favorite appetizer was the shrimp Egg roll. Overall it's a solid place, not sure if it's substantially better than other pho restaurants I frequent. read more

Pho Momma - Seating area - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

3/5 Overhyped. My first impression at the door was...small place with only a few tables. No wonder there was a line of people. Also, the staff was just standing around at the front with a packed restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes since there was three parties ahead of us and it was a packed house so we waited outside. Once we got seated, the menu was pretty straight forward. Everyone in our party knew we were going to get Pho since it's part of the name, we just have to tried the pho. There's different size, depending on how hungry you are. I personally ordered #1 size Medium with everything. Pho - Our order came out pretty quick with the amount of guests in the restaurant, which was great for services. However, when I taste the broth, it wasn't piping hot like how other pho places in Sac. It was just hot-warm. You know if a pho is hot, when it can cook the veggies. When it doesn't cook your veggies, then it's not hot enough, but that's my preferences. Also, the broth was flavorful salty, and didn't have much bone flavor that typically in pho. When I say the pho is flavorful, it is flavorful but not from the beef bones. Overall, it was too salty for me and didn't live up the hype or the drive/wait for this bowl of pho. I didn't try their other dishes, which seems like a go to for the customers like their wings. I mainly went to Pho Momma for their pho, which I was disappointed in. I probably will stick with the pho places in Laguna or Stockton blvd. for pho. read more

The beef spring rolls, 6.5/10 Will definitely be back for the fish sauce wings again. read more

You might notice a long line out the door for this nondescript pho spot on Folsom Boulevard and wonder if this is just another trendy restaurant brought to you by the algorithm and/or Michelin guide. Buy into the trend and brave the line because this restaurant might be serving the most delicious bowl of pho in the area. Before highlighting the best dish of the night I feel it's worthwhile to say a few nice words about the appetizers. The pork sausage with crispy layer was crunchy and the sauce was perfect for dipping because it added a savory and salty addition to the bite. The crunch on the salt and pepper wings reminded me of the Popeye's extra crispy chicken and the jalapeños gave it some heat. I skipped the dipping sauce for this one because I didn't want anything messing with my crunch. The star of the night was the pho. It was flavorful and the sweetness from the star anise was well balanced with the aromatics and savory broth. I did very little to change the flavor of the broth. A few sprigs of basil and some pickled jalapeños did the trick for me. A hearty meal fit for rainy weather. Trust the hype for this one and keep your place in line. The end result is worth it. read more

I've been to Pho Momma HOW many times and haven't left a review?! And now they're on the Michelin guide! One of my favorite spots for a comforting bowl of pho. This was originally recommended to me by my friend from Vietnam, so I knew it had to be good! The space is pretty small, but they do turnover very efficiently. If it's full inside, there's a sheet for you to write your name on the waitlist. Menu is packed with classic favorites and exciting new items. They have teas, boba, and coffee, and all sorts of delicious Vietnamese dishes! I always get their #1 with everything and their fish sauce chicken wings- my favorite! Service is super sweet and they use the good pebble ice in their water. I recommend going just before opening if you don't want to wait! Plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

The shrimp pho is superb! From the chicken broth to the fresh herbaceous vegetables everything about it is delicious. The butter shrimp spring roll was average, nothing too memorable. The salt and pepper chicken wings lacked flavor and was skimpy on the onion and pepper mixture. The garlic noodles were a bit dry and lacking garlic flavor. The lychee passion tea was delicious. The service is great and staff is friendly! The ambience is clean and low noise so you can hold a conversation easily. I'd return for the pho and drinks! read more

Pho Momma is worth the hype! We came on a Thursday night around 6. We put our name on the list with our party number and because there was small waiting area with limited seats inside, we waited outside until our names were called (little less than 30 min.). Because of our wait and the menu posted on the outside window, we were ready to order soon after we sat down. The restaurant is fairly small, but not too cramped. Now my thoughts on what we ordered: - Chili-Oil Wontons: beautiful presentation, delicious filling, great texture, and not too spicy - Momma's Garlic Noodles w/ Chicken: noodles are thick with a great texture, sauce coated them well; bold flavor and the chicken complimented it well - #4 Lean Beef Pho (small): love the cut size of the meat and there was plenty of it, the noodles were plentiful even for the small size, the broth was flavorful, however I wish it was hotter when it came to my table- it was only warm - Pork Eggrolls: delicious, crispy, no complaints - Brown sugar vanilla swirl & Sunrise lemonade tea: Brown sugar was sweet but not too sweet, super tasty. I loved the Sunrise tea it was sweet and the jelly at the bottom made it so good Excited to return to try more and get another bowl of pho! read more

10/10! Finally had a chance to try Pho Momma (and went back again a week later) and it certainly lives up to the hype. I've ordered the #12 (chicken pho with pork wontons) and my partner loves the #1 pho (beef with tripe and other deliciousness). Portions and quality are fantastic for the price point. Have also tried the garlic noodles, grilled pork spring rolls, and fried pork rolls and everything was so tasty. Will be back again and again especially during this cozy winter! read more

This place really exceeded my expectations! An unassuming spot on a strip mall in a suburban neighborhood has some of the best pho that I've ever had! It was packed when we arrived a little after opening on a Saturday and we were not able to be in the first seating. The staff were working hard here and did their best to manage the crowd. There are only 10-15 tables overall and a small indoor waiting area. I really love that they have a size XSmall when it comes to pho bowl sizes. It really allowed us to order more things! Offerings: - Bone Marrow Toast: Great flavor and texture but the visual was a little off putting. Serving it on sliced white bread is a choice. And the meat could almost be mistaken for pulled pork. But close your eyes and it's a treat! - Pho with Flank Steak: the meat and noodles were pretty par for the course but the broth was very good. I think it may lean slightly saltier than usual but sooo delicious. Served with all the regular accoutrements. My partner did add chili oil that was available on the table and it was pretty good too! - Garlic noodles: these were fine. Great texture and plenty of chopped garlic. Creamy sauce. There is a 15% automatic charge for large parties so look out for that! read more

Pho Momma - Momma's Garlic Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place is okay. Not worth the Michelin hype. We both got the #1 pho (pho dac biet) and chilled shrimp spring rolls. The vermicelli was very al dente. Broth was ok. We got a little bit of thai basil just before they ran out fairly early into dinner service. The spring rolls again were alright. I've had better viet food off Stockton Blvd. I would give one more star if service was better. Right after sitting down, we were approached by 4 different servers asking if we were ready to order within 2 minutes of being sat. We felt very rushed. I understand there's lots of people waiting to be seated, but we had just been sat. Overall, this place is alright. Just not what we were expecting. read more

Over-hyped. Meat quality was good but the broth was too salty. They only gave 1 plate of garnishes for 2 bowls of pho and it didn't seem like they doubled up unless they normally give a small amount. I also got their coco green thai milk tea but I could hardly taste any of the tea since the coconut was overpowering. Our server was nice and had a smile but I noticed another employee with basically a permanent frown even after making eye contact. We waited around 30-40 min on a Saturday afternoon for 2. They have 2 waiting areas inside. read more

Pho Momma - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here with my friend for dinner after reading all the great reviews raving about this place. The restaurant is very cute, nicely decorated, clean, and on the smaller side. The restaurant is bright, lively, and has a good atmosphere. There was a lot of people when we came, so we did have to wait a bit for a table. The parking right in front of the restaurant is limited but you can park next to the other shops. I ordered the lean beef, flank, and brisket pho. The broth was flavorful and I liked how many onions they put. The portion was filling and was great on the rainy day we came. The soup was tasty, but I have had better. I would come again to try other times, they have some really good looking items on the menu. read more

We were excited to come to this location and try it out from all of the hype we've heard about it. The food was decent, but was much more expensive than what you typically pay at pho restaurants. The wait does get long and the restaurant is fairly small so I'd recommend showing up 10 minutes before opening to be seated in the first wave. The biggest complaint I have is that they auto charged 15% service and accepted an additional 20% on top because I didn't realize we were already charged a service fee. I do recognize that it's my fault for not seeing it on the bill, but it just feels a bit shady to me that they really accepted another 20% on top of what they auto charged at a pho restaurant where our server didn't even come check on us or refill our water. When I noticed that evening, I tried calling the restaurant the next day, but they don't answer their phone so you can't get ahold of them. Other reviewers have also mentioned that they do not pick up their phone. read more

So glad I was finally able to try this place! We arrived around 1:30 on a Sunday. The wait for a table for 2 was about 40-45 mins, not too bad. We ordered the 1/2 portion each of Pork and Shrimp Eggrolls. Both really good, lots of filing in the Egg Roll. Chili Wontons were good. Not too spicy. Chicken Wings w/salt and pepper. They were good, nice and crispy with every bite. The sautéed onions on top was a nice touch for added flavor. I ordered the Medium sized bowl of Pho with Flank Brisket and Meatball. Soooo good. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The noodles were on the thinner side which i loved. The broth was amazing. This place was worth the wait. The service was great for being as busy as they were. Restrooms were clean! Would definitely return! We also ordered Momma's Garlic Noodles w/chicken and Momma's fried rice to go. Can't wait to try it! read more
