Our favorite pho spot! We've been coming here what feels like weekly. They only serve pho and drinks. Service is friendly and fast! Place is tidy and clean. They are very very generous with their noodles and protein quantities. Thanks Sit Lo for being so great. read more

I won't lie, I expected subpar pho due to how Americanized the restaurant felt upon immediate first impression. The restaurant's interior doesn't look bad by any means, but it's been colorfully designed to appeal the college crowd at the sacrifice of authenticity. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (also called Pho Saigon on the menu) and the cashier gave me a confused look, asking if I could point out a photo or an item number instead. I'm glad to be wrong. The Pho Dac Biet comes in a gigantic portion size for $16.50+tax. All the different proteins that come with it (ribeye, meatball, flank, tripe, etc) tasted delicious in a well-seasoned broth. I particularly enjoyed the tendon for its soft, chewy texture. This branch in Davis offers satisfying pho for incredible value. Their Elk Grove location has now made its way on to my bookmarked list. read more

When I'm in the mood for soup, this is the place. The Pho is excellent -- I like the Pho Tai Nam. Tea comes with your order, which is a nice touch. One option worth knowing about: they offer a fresh noodle upgrade. I don't always get it, but it's worth trying if you haven't. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely LOVE that this is opened till midnight. Came here after a concert and was craving pho because of the cold breezy weather and soup was just perfect for the vibe. It was busy and there was a line out the door but i feel like it went by pretty quick like 10-15 min wait maybe? They have indoor and outdoor seating. I got the ribeye and brisket pho while my friends ordered the ribeye and meatball pho. Our food was delicious and i really enjoy the meat to noodle ratio. Love it love love. Keep it up. Also just a side disclaimer: bathrooms are located outside of the building and not inside. I really need to use one but i didnt know if this place even had bathrooms because i couldnt find it anywhere on their page but its not WITHIN the building. read more

It's fine for pho, a little pricier but it is bigger. They pretty much only have pho, not much to say except it's the strangest ambience I've ever had for a Vietnamese place. Metal bowls and pay before you eat. Very busy. Line to order and when we went around 6pm in January, the only available table was outside. They had outdoor heaters and the soup was warm so it was not too cold. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Pho beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Got Pho recommendations by a few Vietnamese students at UC Davis, we came here for a quick lunch. Have to say they hit out of the park on the quantity and quality department! Every bowl of Pho is jumbo sized, broth is rich and savory, and the meats are very tender and fresh! Definitely one of the best food spots in downtown Davis. read more

HAVE AGAIN: The #2 Pho Tai with rib and meatballs was good, but needed the extra sauces since it was plain. Good service. Comfortable.

So delicious! You won't be disappointed. Broth of rich and savory. Comes out piping hot, how it should be! Small menu but very tasty options of pho. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of parking. read more

If you are ever craving Pho and want it FAST-- this is the place to go. More often than not, your bowl of pho will be ready within 5 minutes-- you can wash ur hands, get some water, prep your sauce bowl-- and your pho will be ready. My favorite dish is the #13 and the only one I have tried. It consists of all the meats like tripe, tendon, ribeye, flank, meatball, etc. The meat can sometimes be really tough (especially if you go early in the morning) or really nice and tender, which is why I am giving it a 4/5 for overall consistency in the quality of food. The broth is slightly less flavorful than I would like but it is still very enjoyable and is a great comforting bowl of Pho, at the end of the day. I also think their menu only consists of variations of pho and chicken soup. When you first walk in, you order and pay in the front and you will be seated inside or outside. It is self serve water and hot tea (the last time I went there was no ice tea). The inside can get a little crowded and loud during their rush hours so I enjoy sitting outside. Overall, this is a solid Pho location in Davis! read more

Sit Lo Saigon - #13 Signature Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Great pho spot when you're craving something soupy for the colder weather. You order first and then get seated! Portions are generous and it's cool they have pickled onions as a side. Their chili sauce is spicy so definitely go on the lighter side! The broth is flavorful and slightly sweet with a clean finish. This hit the spot and prices are reasonable too. Water is self serve, they also have iced tea. It's casual and great for friend hangouts, casual dates, or coming with family! read more

The pho is so comforting that it healed me. Sit Lo never misses and remains my top 1 pho place in Davis read more

Went here for the first time and there were already people waiting before it opened. They take your order right away before sitting down and water is self serve. The pho came out piping hot with fresh noodles (extra $1.50). The fresh noodles are definitely worth getting and they already give a side of vinegar onions for free which is nice. The broth however was a bit heavy for me and the ribeye meat was clumped together during the stir fry process. It would've been nicer to have thinner pieces of the meat in their pho for better texture. Overall it is still worth a try but they only have beef based phos and they are fatty and on the heavier side. read more

Was this one of my favorite pho places ever? So I recently flew through Sacramento for a wedding in Napa Valley. Almost everyone else in the wedding group went through San Fran, but Sacramento was actually about an hr shorter drive with traffic. Also, it was a smaller airport and easier to navigate in and out of. So on the way back, this was a perfect stop for lunch. It was delicious! Probably a bit overpriced but delicious none the less. We had both of their Signature phos and opted for the fresh thick noodles. We also added on an order of the beef short rib. So their Pho Saigon, is basically their specialty, so it had a little bit of everything. It was solid, especially adding in some of the meat from the beef rib. But the star of the show was the Pho Hanoi. The garlic and peppers made this one of the best tasting pho broths, I have ever had and that is saying a lot! Their thick fresh noodles brought back memories from pho in Vietnam. I want to fly back through Sacramento just to eat here again! read more

Quick, simple, and tastes pretty good. Came back from a road trip and thought I'd give this place a try. I ordered at the register, sat down, and about 10 minutes later my food was served. The broth was very tasty but I think that if I come next time I'll get a pho without brisket. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Beef and Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Sit Lo Saigon is an amazing addition to Davis' Vietnamese food scene. Specializing primarily in pho, their menu is very simple & everything is one size. My friend and I ordered the #2 and #13 (Pho Tai Bo Vien and Saigon Pho aka Pho Dac Biet). Within 2-3 minutes of ordering, our pho arrived. For $16 & $17, the portion is definitely justified for the price in this economy. The broth here was just perfect; clean but full of beef flavor with the perfect hint of sweetness, saltiness, and aroma from the spices. Compared to many pho's I've had in SJ and OC, Sit Lo's is among one of the best I've had. 9.6/10* *Tried this while hungover, so bias might skewed since pho tastes 1000% better after a day of drinking. read more

I ordered the number one with the ribeye raw and on the side. My daughter ordered the number 14. It is served with bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime and jalapeños. My daughter comes here often and really enjoys it. I found it quite filling and the rib eye was very tender. read more

Came across Sit-Lo whenever I'd grab Taco Bell and thought why not give it a shot. I ordered #4 (brisket and meatball) and thought that the meat was very tender and flavorful. The broth also had an incredibly good mixture of tanginess and savory flavor. It was also my birthday and when the staff saw us celebrating, they kindly played birthday music and took pictures for us out of their own will! Definitely see myself becoming a regular here. read more

Our go-to pho place in Davis!! The portion size is such a good bang for your buck. I ordered the flank pho while my boyfriend ordered the ribeye and brisket pho and we loved it!

This is without a doubt the best pho restaurant in Davis. The beef rib pho is a must try for first-timers, and all bowls have generous portions of meat, noodles, and soup.

Sit Lo Saigon - #13 - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

We were on the way to Sacramento when we got hungry so we looked up a quick pho spot in Davis and Sit Lo Saigon came up. We found street parking right outside the restaurant which was convenient. Solid pho restaurant if you're in the area. When you walk in, you place your order in front then pay then they'll take you to a table. My husband and I wanted to try their signature pho's so we got Saigon Pho & Pho Hanoi. We didn't think Pho Hanoi would be that spicy even know it had a fire sign lol. We were wrong and it was super duper spicy. My husband had a hard time finishing but after 25 minute or so, he killed it. He said there was a lot of chili so if you're into the spicy pho then this one is definitely for you! Noodles were also chewy and the soup was flavorful for both. The Saigon Pho was decent, it was still flavorful. The meat was big so it was a bit hard to eat for kids so definitely ask for some scissors! I don't think there was anything special but I still enjoyed it regardless. Looking forward to visiting again next time! read more

I always question why I feel the need to tip on Togo when I really get boned every time. So the pho is rich. Like grass fed beef which I'm not a fan of. I wish they had flank steak and not only ribeye. I had tripe in mine which was nasty. Got mixed in the ribeye. I asked for the picked veggies and added them two times on my order for them to NOT be added to my order. I called and the guy said, that is the bean sprouts and basil bag. Are your fn kidding me? It's pickled. Those are not pickled and are standard with any pho. LOL Then the chop sticks were moist and low and behind black mold on them. Nasty!! read more

This place used to be good and we we're regulars but the price has gone up while the quality has gone down. The broth doesn't taste good anymore, the noodles are more grainy now, and the meat is tougher. Unfortunate cuz now we have to go to the bay or sac for good pho again thought it was a one time thing but it's been consistently bad recently. read more

The food was amazing! Generous portions and reasonably priced. The broth was the right temperature and very flavorful. The service was good and fast. The ambiance was clean and inviting. If you're looking for casual pho go to, this is the place I would recommend. The only downside is that there's no option of chicken pho. read more

First time here and won't be our last! Definitely going to bring some people back here to try their flavorful pho! I tried the Ha Noi pho with FRESH NOODLES which is a must try! Makes pho so much better! (additional cost $1.50) The bowls with loaded with lots of meat too! It's a order and pay first and they will seat your party. Good handful even at opening hour. Cashier was very patient with us deciding what to order as it was our first time there. It's located in the middle of Davis so it's nice to walk around before grabbing pho or after and grabbing dessert! Nice and clean place overall! read more

Came here after visiting a friend and ordered a Pho Tai, Gau. There were a lot of people and there were no seats so we were offered outdoor seating but it was 100° outside so we decided to sit inside. The service was a little bit iffy but we had to pay before we sat down. When the bowl came out, the flank was so fatty and the pieces of meat were super thick. The portion is big but it is on the pricier side. read more

I was in town for a visit and was craving Pho and heard a lot of great things about Sit Lo. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward. I ordered #13, the Saigon Pho, and I was very happy with this dish. I've been to many pho restaurants and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of meat served. It was A LOT with extra to take home. The size of the soup was pretty generous and the broth was very tasty. They also served a side of pickled white onions that added a good kick with the soup. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. I look forward to coming back again to try other dishes. Definitely a must try if you are in the Davis downtown area. read more

I'm a little shocked I haven't reviewed Sit Lo yet after coming here 10+ times. This place is THE pho place to go to in Davis. Price for value is definitely best in town. I've been to a few pho places in town that were similar priced but you got way less stuff in your bowl. You order up front and then get seated, food comes out REALLY fast. Like I've never waited for more than 5 minutes. There is both inside and outside seating with a self serve water/tea station. Pho comes with these delicious pickled onions as well as the usual pho toppings. I always get the short rib, they come with so much meat on these giant bones. Very satisfiying if you're willing to eat meat off the bone. If you're a pho fan, come check this place out. read more

I went to UCD for 4 years and lived in Davis for about 6 years and before this restaurant existed there was no "good" pho in Davis. I can confidently say that Sit Lo has changed that! The pho here is really great and is even comparable to pho in San Jose which is really surprising. Their prices are fairly reasonable for the portions they give (and they give A LOT of meat). Highly recommend the short rib pho with fresh (thick) noodle. read more

Tried this place on our way back to the Bay Area from Tahoe, and we're so glad we stopped. After a couple of days in the snow, the pho warmed us right up. We ordered the combo pho and the pho with ribs, and they both were amazing. The broth really stood out, rich, hearty, and clean-tasting with no strong MSG aftertaste. We also appreciated the complimentary hot tea available in the shop. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Now where was Sit Lo Saigon while I was a student in Davis?! This would most likely age me, but back when I was a student, we only had Pho King to help curb our hangovers so this was such a nice surprise to find when my group of friends decided to do a weekend trip down memory lane. After a night of drinking, a hot bowl of noodle soup always hits the spot and Sit Lo Saigon definitely delivered. They are located on G St. where the Thai restaurant used to be near Wingstop. You order and pay at the counter first and they bring your food to the table. I got a pho tai chin with fresh noodles and the amount of meat it came with was insane! The brisket was fatty and delicious and I loved that they had different types of spices at the table, like the pickled jalapeños. The rest of my friends enjoyed their bowls of pho and were so surprised Davis now had a place like this compared to when we were students. All in all, solid place for any Davis student that desperately needs something for their hangover. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Pho tai kids meal - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Delicious food and great service; probably the best pho in Davis. Good portions, maybe a bit more expensive than other comparable spots. Still 100% worth though. Food (9.5/10) - I got a Pho Hanoi with extra fresh noodle on the side. I am usually a massive noodle consumer so I can usually comfortably finish both the bowl and the subsequent addition. However, the portions here are actually really big and I was honestly questioning whether or not the extra noodles were necessary (I still finished it though). Overall, the beef broth had a super rich flavor depth and is the kind of soup that warms your soul on a cold day. The soup has a super nice salty flavor that really brings the whole dish together. The beef is tender and super flavorful; I think the wok-fried flavor with the garlic really shines through. My only slight desire on this bowl is that it was spicier without needing to add chili oil but still loved the overall flavor. On a separate note, I absolutely recommend that you try the fresh noodle. It does cost a little bit more but it just has this super silky texture and delicious spring. The overall mouth feel just elevates the bowl as a whole and I think it's definitely worth the charge. Service (9.5/10) - Super fast service and they bring you your food almost instantly after you sit down. The food is brought hot and delicious and I just have this vibe that they have a super efficient kitchen back there. The only dock on service is that the server gave us incorrect information... but I don't fault her too much for it. I asked if a side of extra fresh noodles would be a double charge (i.e. the extra fresh noodles cost more than extra regular noodles) and she said yes it was an extra charge. Note: It was not an extra charge. If you're hungry, I would recommend getting both since it's not a double charge! Extra $5.50 for two servings of fresh noodles. This would make a meal for ~$22 but you'll probably have leftovers. Overall, delicious food and probably going to my go-to Vietnamese restaurant in Davis. Great for a cold day and 100% recommend. read more
