Deon deserves a raise immediately. I'm so serious. If this man quits, I'm filing a missing person's report because the vibes at Pho Royal will never recover. Customer service? Elite. Aura? +1000. Hospitality? Absolutely cracked. He treated us like family without making it weird and somehow made waiting for food feel like part of the entertainment. Pho was fire, but Deon is the secret ingredient. I'll be back 100%, and if Deon's working, I already know the experience is gonna be immaculate. W employee. W restaurant. W everything. ‍‍‍ read more

First of all, the food is incredible, especially considering that this restaurant is located in the whitest of white towns ever I always get the C2 meal (pho with rare beef slices), and every time it is absolutely delicious. The interior of the restaurant is lovely; clean and sturdy wooden tables with a nice, cushiony bench lining one side of the wall, peaceful instrumental music, natural light from large windows, and gorgeous, healthy indoor plants. The service is just wonderful. The vibe is calm, relaxed, casual yet professionally structured, and authentically unique to the people who keep the restaurant running. The lovely family who owns this restaurant is attentive, kind, and welcoming. I'm always so happy to go there and be greeted with smiles and a genuine family atmosphere. read more

Pho Royal - Pho with brisket and shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

Very good food and service. Very nice restaurant and quick service. Very generous portions.

A spacious, clean restaurant that my friends and I found to be a great lunch spot on our way back to San Francisco. Wonderful service, and we appreciated that they covered the windows to prevent the restaurant from getting too hot. Pho was pretty good although a bit pricier than expected (comparable to sf prices!). I preferred the vermicelli bowl and thought the egg roll was perfection. Great place for a meal, the food will definitely hit the spot. read more

Been wanting to try here for a little while now. Either they close when we go or something happens and we go elsewhere Finally got to try it and got their combo or special pho cause it includes a beef rib! Not many places offer beef rib soup/pho. Overall impression was not bad here. Lots of flavor off the beef rib, some places it's so bland. Broth was ok, I think it could use more depth and flavor as it was a little too light for me. Portions was good, prices are fair considering where it's located. Smaller mom and pop style so friendly 1 on 1 service. read more

Pho Royal - Beef rib in pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

My husband and I have been here a few times and every time the food is good. The bun bo hue is our new favorite item to get here. You can ask for a side of chili oil or it comes with chili oil, so be ready for some heat! The service is fast and they are attentive to water refills. It's the perfect cozy local spot for us if we are not keen on driving to Sacramento for Vietnamese food. We have yet to try the rice plates but we would love to in the future. Would definitely recommend if you are in Amador county and want to stop for some delicious soup! read more

We are vegan and have been coming here for about 3 years now. I chose this for my 20 year anniversary meal with my wife. The food is always excellent, the staff is very polite and friendly, the area is clean. We love the Lemon Grass Tofu. It's amazing! I highly recommend this place. read more

Pho Royal - Lemon Grass Tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

The food and flavors are so fresh and delicious- the tofu is a perfect combination of crunchy and creamy. Dinner was amazing

Awesome pho spot in Jackson. Place was clean and staffs were welcoming. I tried the rib pho the rave every pho place is doing. I was expecting the meat to fall off the bone. Instead the meat was cold, and tough to chew. pretty evident this rib is not cooked today. Cold rib served with the hot pho. Nice try. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Pho Royal! The staff were courteous, kind, and very professional. The restaurant looked very nice and had a really calm atmosphere with nice music. The food was tasty and looked beautiful. The cuts of meat were nice (not overly fatty). We will probably visit again the next time we are in the area! read more

My friends wanted to try this place out since they just opened. So went there yesterday for lunch. It wasn't busy so it was nice to be able to be seated quickly. The ambiance was really cute and friendly, as well as playing some quiet music. They have a promotion on free sodas until the end of October which was nice to hear. So we ordered our food. And lemme just say that my chow mein was good and my friends loved their Pho so much! The egg rolls were so good, I wanted more but I got full. We are definitely coming back here more often! The reason for a 4 star review was because the waiter didn't fill my water at all after checking in on us a few times, so I had to ask. I know I know, I shouldn't be so hard on them since they just opened but it's constructive criticism and to help them improve on their service. I did however leave a nice big tip for them because the food was amazing and we were satisfied. read more

When my fiancé, her mom, and I visited on Wednesday, we had a great experience. The service was outstanding--the man who helped us was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was just as impressive. This is easily one of the best pho spots I've been to. My soon-to-be mother-in-law ordered the pork chops, and they were absolutely amazing--tender, flavorful, and practically melted in your mouth. We had the regular pho, and it was delicious as well. If I could give this place 6 stars, I definitely would. read more

Me and my husband come here weekly. Amazing food. Amazing service. I never EVER leave disappointed. The best food in town. I'm not loyal to any other restaurant like I am to this one. read more

This place is one of my husband and I's favorite restaurants! Besides their delicious food, their customer service is always so great and so welcoming. Deon has been greeting us and serving us the past few times and he is great!! The place is always very clean and the kitchen is usually very prompt with our food, even if they're super busy. Our favorite go-to on the menu is the A10 appetizer (spicy fish sauce garlic chicken wings) SO good. And our main courses are usually the C2 (rare steak pho soup) and C8 (spicy lemongrass beef soup). This place is fantastic! read more

We're visiting from out of town and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We all ordered the vermicelli on the menu. It is D9 grilled beef grilled shrimp and egg roll. It was so tasty we all couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We've even had a chance to meet the chef. We definitely will come back next time. We're in Jackson. read more

Pho Royal - Grilled &Beef Grilled shrimp & egg-roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

Tried the curry and the pho here and both were delicious. The curry sauce was light, in contrast to the thickness of sauce you get with Thai curries, and very flavorful. The ingredients here are always fresh and the service is great. read more

This pho restaurant has been here for about a year now, and it has never disappointed me! Each visit is a delightful experience with delicious, flavorful food and excellent customer service. The service is always quick, and the restaurant is impeccably clean. I especially appreciate how they always wipe down the sauce condiments that attention to detail is a big plus for me! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I highly recommend everyone stop by if you're in the area. Thank you to Manager Trang for always taking care of my family and me when we dine in. read more

This is my second time coming to this establishment and each time has been great! Grew up eating a lot of pho and going to a bunch of different pho locations so this place is legit. The owner used to own and manage a pho restaurant in the Sacramento area but retired and closed it down. He is now out of retirement and running this restaurant now. This time around, we ordered the rare steak and beef ball pho, fried egg rolls, and crispy squid. All items came out fast and were all hot and tasty. The pho here always hits the spot - the broth is flavorful and clean. The location is prime as it is in the Safeway plaza so tons of parking, gas station near by, and other restaurants in the vicinity. Inside is clean and the service was great! I will say, this place is a little pricy for pho compared to other pho restaurants but it is still worth the pay since this is the only pho joint in Amador County. read more

My husband and I come here pretty often and the food is always great and fresh! The service is always great! Today I wasn't feeling well and I knew I needed some pho to help me feel better! I called in an order it was a couple minutes before they opened and they answered and took my order. My husband picked it up a few minutes after they opened. They packaged up all noodles, beef, toppings and broth separately so nothing got soggy. It really hit the spot. Can't wait to go back! read more

Edit: Owner, thanks for the reply. No need to stay off his phone completely, just maybe pop his head up a little more often. He might be looking at online orders or how to market the business. Unrelated to him, the overlapping music is more concerning. --- We love this place. The food is fresh, flavorful, and fairly priced. The staff is pretty friendly, but not fake. The teenager is on his phone a lot so it takes a bit to get your bill if he's working, but it's not bad. The atmosphere is good but not anything special. The worst thing is that they sometimes forget to fully turn off the building speakers so you end up listening to overlapping music when they play their Bluetooth speaker over the other. Kind of mind numbing in a charming way of that makes sense. We go here anytime we're nearby and you should too. read more

After a scenic drive from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe, we stopped at a small Vietnamese restaurant and had this amazing bowl of pho. The broth was incredibly rich, the beef tender, and the bone-in rib added extra flavor. Perfect comfort food to refuel after our long road trip! Highly recommended!! read more

Pho Royal - House Special Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

Very little noodles in the pho. Charge more than the menu price. I won't eat here again.

Was craving a pork bahn mi. First time trying this place for bahn mi. Usually have to go to Folsom and after tasting this VERY HIGHLY overpriced sandwich I will make the drive to Folsom. I have been eating pork bahn mi for the last 30 years all over Sac County and had never had such a strange tasting bahn mi before. 1 litttle sprig of cilantro, 2 little slices of jalapeno, no flavor of pickled dicon or carrots. Left a very odd flavor in your mouth 20 minutws after eating it. Was there at about noon thru the week and the place was empty with no lunch crowd at all. The bahn mi in folsom is half the price of this place and has 3 times the expected flavor!!! read more

I have been craving Pho and was so happy to see that there's a Pho spot in Jackson. Everything was delicious. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is very clean. My boyfriend and I will definitely become regulars here! read more

Great food. Fast and friendly service. Stopped here with family at visiting the caves (due to good reviews) and it didn't disappoint!

Love this place. Best place in Jackson. Services is most amazing The grandson is sooo nice , respectful and very friendly. Definitely my go to if I want to to out and eat read more

This place is great. We really enjoy the food and the service is top notch! We have never had a bad meal or bad experience here. You have to try the Bahn mi, spring rolls, fried shrimp with sweet chili, and definitely the pho! read more

This has been my favorite take out restaurant for chicken pho until tonight! The soup base was no longer tasty but more watery, no chicken flavor, and a TON of flat no flavor noodles! WHAT HAPPENED? read more

So I decided to give this place another shot since it's been months since I tried it. I will say, I'd give less than one star if possible. The staff is friendly and fast, but....This place advertises Vietnamese food and has potential but falls flat. We ordered two vermicelli plates and a bahn mi to go. When I got home, My vermicelli had a live fly under the shrimp, only three shrimp and had, literally, one piece of daikon. Their fish sauce for the vermicelli is disgusting!! Doesn't taste anything like it should, it's like dish water. A complete joke and beyond overpriced!! $60 for me and my lady to eat lunch. Don't go here!! read more

Delicious food with great service! We ordered Pho and chicken salad. Highly recommend! read more

Pho Royal - a bowl of soup with meat and vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Jackson, California

Second review. Had my same sandwich, still awesome, steamed pork roll with pate. Can't go wrong! Tried the shrimp spring roll and while the sauce was good, the rolls were just average. It is only shrimp, lettuce, bean sprouts, and rice noodles. They need to add some herbs like mint, cilantro, and green onion, but I will still go back for my sandwich! I would love to see the sausage spring roll on the menu. The owner remembered me, so that was unexpectedly nice. read more

Great pan fried noodles, great banh mi. Great pho. Wonderful people. What's not to like?

The pho was amazing. So glad we have this option for dining! Very sweet staff as well! :)

I really don't get all the great reviews for this restaurant. I spent $20 for a large Pho. Already 4 or 5 dollars more than went a large costs any other restaurant but with half the portions. Sure the broth is plentiful but that's about it. Besides the insanely large amount of noodles. Very small portion of actual meat. Even the amount of scallions, cilantro and basil they give you is miniscule. And one tiny pack of sriracha and a one tiny pack of hoisin. For a large? Basically paid $20 for broth and noodles. Total ripoff read more

Absolutely terrible service. Little "thug" was in his cell phone from the moment walked in till the moment we walked out. He had not checked on us the entire time. He looked about 14 and it seemed quite illegal to me for him to be working. I expect water be refilled and questions asked like " would you like anything else?". Entirely disappointed it was my first time trying the place and I am not at all satisfied. Will NOT be coming back, unfortunately. read more

The chicken pho is my go-to meal here, and is so delicious . Tonight I thought I'd try something different and had the spicy lemongrass beef pho. I'm so glad I did. Very complex flavors and a satisfying spiciness. My wife had the Tofu Lemongrass Vermicelli which she really enjoyed. Hot tea and fried egg rolls rounded out a very fulfilling meal. Many thanks to the super attentive owner and staff read more
