Pho was decent. It hit the spot the day I went into restaurant to grab a quick lunch with friends. There are many types of Pho so I probably need to try a different type. Atmosphere is open and clean. Servers were young and not so attentive but that's not a deal breaker for me. Bottom line is it's a decent lunch so I'd give it a try. read more

Driven by this place many times on my way home and finally took the time to stop. So glad I did. The pho was delicious. My wife had a bami ni that was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back for more. read more

I would give it zero stars! When you order Pho you expect it to be hot. The soup was ice cold like they took it out of the fridge and packed it. When I called they said it's not a big deal, heat it in the microwave!!!!??? Disgusting, unsure how this place has a 4.5 star rating. read more

When you walked up to the restaurant, you'd see pretty plants and a bench before the door. The bench is perfect for waiting for your friends to show up. I was greeted by a server when my husband and I walked in. I ordered the shrimp rice plate and he ordered the combination pho. I had a coconut juice and he had the Vietnamese iced coffee. The shrimp plate was good. I added sunny side up egg for more protein. My husband thought the pho was pretty good. I like how the server didn't have to be asked to refill our water. I'd come back to try other dishes from the menu. read more

The husband and I stopped here for lunch. It's a pretty small place but very cute. I believe it use to be a Chinese restaurant before Pholicious took over. We both ordered the combination pho and shrimp and pork spring rolls. Honestly, I didn't have high hopes but to my surprise the pho broth was very very good. Perfect flavor. The spring rolls were also really good. It was a little different than the ones we usually get as this one had pickles carrots and daikons in it. I like the extra crunch and flavor it gave. Not to mention service was excellent too. They were attentive and friendly. Definitely a spot that we'll be back to! read more

Delicious. Everything we tried has been so good. I love their veggie Pho, the tofu is delicious and the chicken broth is so flavorful yet no greasy or grainy like other restaurants. Their drinks are very yummy, and they have specialty plates every weekend. The restaurant is very clean and has great customer service. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem and my new go-to Pho spot. Its been years since I wrote a review and for me to come out of retirement to write one up just shows how amazing this place is. The ambience is great and decorations were simple but still paid homage to the Vietnamese culture. Food - On the table displayed their special Hu Tieu. It was tempting and I almost ordered it but saw that they have Bun Bo Hue. I ordered that and their crispy egg roll. BBH was delicious! It was hot (temperature) and broth was flavorful. They give you a lot of meat (I didn't finish all of it ). Oh man, and the crispy eggroll. They are smart for that! Crispy and it just melts well in your mouth (if that makes sense). Service - 100% - Server visited me at least 2-3x to make sure I was okay. Highly recommend and would come back again :) read more

I really hate to bring this up, but I believe the owner should be aware while they are not present. I stopped by today around 6 PM for dinner. I had the P1 Pho, which was quite good, and I also gave the Bun Bo Hue another try. It wasn't bad, but the broth seemed to be missing something compared to my previous visit. My main concern, however, wasn't the food--it was the service. Two younger ladies were working as servers, and unfortunately, both came across as indifferent and somewhat dismissive. When I asked for straws for our ice waters, one of them dropped them on the table without a word--not even a simple "here you go." Later, I requested some extra lime for my soup. The other server brought a few small lime wedges and dropped them on the table with the same silent, abrupt demeanor. No acknowledgment, no smile--just a cold delivery. What made it more noticeable was that I could hear them chatting and laughing near the kitchen, so it's not that they were having a bad day. It just seemed like that friendly energy didn't extend to our table. The attitude and body language were a bit off-putting, to be honest. Despite the lackluster service, I still left a tip out of respect--especially knowing it's a family-run business. I truly want to support local places like yours. I hope this feedback is received in the spirit of improvement. Elk Grove is full of food lovers, and first impressions matter, especially for a new restaurant. I look forward to seeing how your team continues to grow and improve. read more

Good pho, but the experience was overshadowed by strong cleaning chemicals and staff starting closing procedures while customers were still dining. I ordered the #2 pho. It was good, but not great. The service at the beginning was fine; we arrived around 7:00 PM, ordered within a few minutes, and our waiter was friendly. Around 7:15 PM there was a very strong cleaning product smell (possibly bleach) coming from the bathroom. We were seated near it and the restaurant is small, so the smell quickly filled the dining area. An employee had just finished cleaning the bathroom and left the door open to air it out. The smell was strong enough that I actually had to get up and close the door myself. Our food came out shortly after, but before I even started prepping my pho, the same employee who cleaned the bathroom began mopping the restaurant floors while several customers were still eating. By about 7:30 PM the staff started shutting things down, turning off the TV, music, some lights, and stacking chairs on empty tables. We were almost finished with our meal but it definitely made us feel rushed. I also felt bad for a woman who had just walked in to eat and ended up sitting between tables with chairs already stacked on them. The restaurant closes at 8:00 PM, so starting strong chemical cleaning and closing procedures while customers are still dining feels unprofessional and takes away from the experience. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Last night, I door dashed from here. I ordered 4 items. One of those items was an order of Bun Bo hue. When the door dasher dropped off my order, I went to open and bag, and noticed the broth for the bun bo hue was missing. I called pholicious and spoke to a young lady. Not sure what her name was but I let her know that I was missing my broth and all she said was "ok do you want a refund of $5 for the broth or you can come pick it up". Why would I drive to go pick it up, what's the point of DoorDash my food then??? It did not make sense. I actually called about 3 times and each time, she would hang up on me!! You think I want to go pick up a $5 soup broth after I've been hung up on & being spoken very rudely to? This employee definitely needs to learn some better customer service skills. I will never order from here again. And I actually liked their food & ordered from here multiple times in the past. But not anymore. read more

Delicious! We got the pork and shrimp spring rolls and they were huge and so good! The pork and shrimp vermicelli bowl could have had a few more pickled veggies but besides that, it was also fabulous. Oh and the egg roll on the vermicelli bowl was out of this world. I never like egg rolls but this was a crazy different type and I'm all about it. I'll definitely be back! read more

I heard about this place from social media and decided to check it out. I ordered bun bo hue, my go to at a pho restaurant. It was perfectly seasoned and not too spicy. There was a generous amount of meat. My dish came with a side of lime and cabbage that you can add to your soup as well. I also ordered a Thai iced tea, which was the perfect complement to my meal. The service was excellent. The staff checked on me regularly and asked if I needed anything else. I will definitely be back! read more

Service was great. They are very attentive to their customers. Pho was phonomenal. I had the P1 which was the Pholicious Dac Biet. The broth was clean (not oily) and the flavor was deep. Also tried the crispy egg rolls and that was delicious as well. They don't rush you. When you are ready to pay, you simply walk to the cashier and pay for your food. Definitely will be back to try chicken pho and their rice plates. read more

Came with the family during their soft opening. We arrived around 5:30pm and the restaurant was already bustling! We had a small wait, but understandable as a large party was seated right before us. I tried their pho dac biet. The soup was piping hot, flavorful and had depth. It was star anise forward and a tad sweeter than other restaurants. Meat was tender and there was a generous portion of noodles. 5/5 We also ordered their crispy egg rolls (cha gio). These were amazing! Crispy on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. The egg roll skin is unique, very few places make it like this in the Sacramento area. Overall, the egg rolls were very delicious and I would come back just eat them! 5/5 The rest of my family ordered various items. Husband got the pholicious dac biet with filet mignon, he said the meat was very tender. Everyone also liked their vermicelli bowls and BBH. Staff was attentive, we had multiple staff members come by and ask how things were going. After you're done eating, customers go up to the cashier to pay. Overall, I am very excited a quality and delicious Vietnamese restaurant opened close by. I definitely plan to come back, I saw some pictures posted by the owner that had banh mi chao and am eager to try that!! read more

Man this place is terrible. Placed an order on door dash, once got my order and there is no broth for my bun Bo hue. Called and they told me to come pick up the broth. I used door dash for a reason. Is it my fault that I forgot the broth? You want to refund me the broth $ and what am I going to do with the bun Bo hue without the broth? On top of that, spoke to a girl and got hung up 3 times. Terrible service!!! Never again read more

I came in with a party of 7 and we were greeted and seated immediately. The food was delicious ! I ordered the chicken pho and the broth was super flavorful. Every person in our party loved their order. The inside is small, but still spacious enough for bigger parts of 6+. I would come back again! read more

Charming new pho restaurant that we just had to try. Smallish size but cozy and got busy quickly when we came for lunch today (Saturday). Service was great and food came out fairly quickly (we had a party of 8). The pho broth was really good! I liked it but it was a little peppery for some people in our party. The egg rolls had a great crunch. Price was a little steep (but on par with most restaurants nowadays) but portions were big. Would return when we come back to the area! read more

We were greeted by a young girl right when we walked in. Her name is Haley. She was very thoughtful and asked if we wanted iced water or hot water (because the weather was so cold outside). She let us choose where we want to sit, so we chose a corner away from the door. I ordered bun bo hue, and my husband and cousin ordered pho dac biet. We were all hungry so we didn't get a chance to take a picture of our foods. Our first thought on my bun bo hue was it looked different because it lacks the red color from the annato seed oil/extract. DON'T LET THAT DISCOURAGE YOU!!! The broth was on point and everything was cooked to perfection! It's not spicy but they do have the chili sate and mam ruoc sate on the side to add in yourself to your own liking. Both my husband and cousin said pho was good too! My cousin made some bomb pho herself, so for her to say that it's good, it must be good! Next time when I come back, I'll add some photos. read more

Pho broth is rich and delicious, but what I appreciate the most is the quality of the steak/ filet.

Warm and invite atmosphere with clean and updated decor. I originally came in to pick up a Togo order and when I got home it wasn't correct. I called to let them know and they said to come back in when I'm in the area so they can make it right. They made good on their promise and the Pho is amazing. read more

I came for the Pho but was convinced to get the Banh Mi Chao special. It was incredible! That toasty crispy french bread lathered in the golden butter and stacked with pate, steak and sunny fried egg made me do a happy dance. You ever have food so good it gives you the shivers? This was a home-run dish. I got a side of Pho broth to satisfy the soup craving and I'll probably do that every time now. Thank you to Tehran for the excellent service! read more

I'll start by saying i picked this up for takeout and live about 15 mins away. This place is amazing! We got two different pho options, i got the pholicious special and I got my mom the Pho ga(chicken breast). The broths were still piping hot when I got home and they gave very generous portions of the meat, noodles, and toppings! They were extremely friendly when I picked it up and the way they renovated the old Happy Garden made it feel more open and inviting. We also got two orders of they're spring rolls, one order of pork, and one of shrimp. They were so good and they're huge! The peanut sauce is a nice accompaniment to it as well. The pho was delicious! Honestly one of the best broths I've had. It was good without adding anything but i still put some hoisin and chili oil in it as per my preference. This place is totally worth every penny, from the friendly service and delicious food ill definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Staff was friendly and welcoming but that's the only great thing about them. Ordered a pho dac biet for it to only come with half a meatball, 3 slices of beef, 1 tendon, and 95% noodles that just absorbed the broth very quickly, the broth was so sweet (did they just only put rock sugar in it) the lack of cilantros and onions as well it was pretty disappointing. Bun bo Hue's broth was lacking the flavor of lemongrass and only had shrimp paste and anchovies with not enough spice it was overall bland. I overheard the owner saying he hired the best chef and that just confuses me because where??? Did he take the day off? Hope they improve but probably wont be coming back read more

I don't recommend this place. The pho is bland and water down. I rather eat Top Raman at home.

I've tried every single pho in the Sacramento area. It's safe to say this is one of my favorites now! The broth was great, noodles were perfectly cooked, the meat was tender and that's all that matters! Fast and portions were great. My sister had the BBH and i heard no complaints. Pickled jalapeños were spicy with the perfect tart. The Thai tea OMG! Our server was amazing! Tahari I believe, very attentive and exceeded all our needed! I'm coming back to try the BBH! read more

UPDATE: We tried again the next day for dinner and food was really good and fresh. They gave estimated wait of half hour but was shorter than that. Really enjoyed the egg rolls (liked that it included crab meat), friendly service, young coconut juice drink, and the Viet coffee. I liked the blood cubes of the bun bo hue as it was more bouncy and tender in texture and not overcooked. The kids portion of pho was very generous and my husband enjoyed grilled pork, grilled shrimp, and noodle dish. Very homey and they kept checking on us and gave us napkins, utensils, and everything we needed or asked for. I really liked the extra spice and pickled jalapeños. Overall, would recommend once we got to try the food and service! They also gave us 20% off for our troubles the day before. Old review: Unfortunately didn't get to eat the food or experience the service. My husband and I went for the soft opening at 6pm (came right after work) and we were sadly greeted with this sign. There were people inside but no one opened the door up even say "sorry but please come back tomorrow" or "here's a coupon or discount for next time you visit, sorry for the inconvenience." We came hungry and had hungry kids and drove 25 minutes and I had this restaurant bookmarked for a couple weeks. We were disappointed that it wasn't just some items out of stock but the entire restaurant ran out of food. I know this is a soft opening but we've never been to a soft opening where there's just no food and a sign during prime dinner hours. The parking is limited and I guess maybe the lack of cars in the lot should've been the first red flag to us before we parked. We ended up eating at the Sheldon Inn instead. read more
