No frills, great food. You order and pay before you sit down. Only beef pho on menu, handful of variations of beef cuts and meat balls. Self serve cold water and ice tea station. Food comes fast and it's delicious. My go to place in davis for Pho. Please remember they ONLY serve beef pho here, it's what they're known for and that's how they make it so well! It's really annoying standing behind someone asking for things clearly not on the menu: "do you have chicken pho? What about egg noodle? How about eggrolls?" C'mon! If it's not on the limited menu, they're not going to make it for you out of thin air. Come hungry, leave happy. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious Pho (I had the short rib), great service, and great extra items to put on the pho like pickled onions and chili oil!

Get the fresh noodles if available with your pho. The broth was delicious. And the service was super fast. Our go to place for pho.

Very big chunks of meat. I had flank, brisket tendon combo, and it was really good. Recently I've had really weak soup at other pho places, but this soup was pretty tasty. We paid in advance at the counter, and bowls were served quick. Fresh lime and sprouts to add, just how I like mine. On a corner with a long row of windows. Need to walk outside to reach restroom. read more

The food overall was great! We were seated quickly and the self serve water and tea station was convenient. I ordered the premium pho which includes oxtail short rib and tendon. I loved the tendon and the short rib. The short rib in particular was very tender and the broth overall was fairly good as well. The only reason for knocking down a star was that the oxtail had too much fat and not very much meat. 2 of the people I went with ordered the oxtail pho which was just oxtail and they also had a lot of pieces with excessive fat. Would've been nice to have it trimmed or potentially more meatier pieces but outside of that after trimming the fat the oxtail was delicious as well. Would've definitely recommend! read more

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

First time at Sit Lo Saigon today (of either of their locations), but I was impressed! I knew it was recently new to Davis but wasn't quite sure where it was. I was surprised to find it next to the old Davis Regal theater where another Asian restaurant used to be - its name escapes me but I believe the former restaurant used to be there for quite some time! I arrived around noon today and was greeted by an employee at the front counter/cash register. It looks like they do pick up/to go orders from there, and they also have the menu available. Almost all options were pho, which doesn't seem weather appropriate for the 107+ weather we're having this weekend, but the day was going and not quite that hot yet and the restaurant was cool and not too crowded. I looked over the menu above the front counter and went for the Pho Chin, Bo Vien which is their classic pho with meatballs and brisket. I also ordered a Diet Coke, paid, and the employee directed me to table number 5, which was a two-top in the middle of the restaurant. Almost immediately after sitting down, another employee brought me a plate of veggies (onion, jalapeño, Thai basil, and bean sprouts) and the original employee that helped me out brought over a canned Diet Coke with a glass of ice. Very shortly after, my pho came out from the kitchen. Fast service! The bowl was big and hand a lot of meat in it. I snapped a pic and added all of the veggies from the veggie plate to my pho. There were also condiments including sauces, chili paste, black peppercorn, and pickled veggies on the table. I took a few slurps, as is, and then added some hot sauce into the broth to spice things up. The meatballs were the winner to me, here. Plentiful, super flavorful, and all around just a great addition to pho. I'd definitely get another soup with those. The pho broth was also flavorful, as is, but I appreciated the hot sauce to add, as needed. The meal was a big one and while I ate all of the meat, noodles, and veggies, I was unable to finish all of the broth. I think this speaks to the portion sizes here! From there, I finished up and was on my way! The whole experience was just about 25 minutes and most of that went to me eating my pho, which is not a quick meal to eat. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the mood for pho and a quick, affordable meal! read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Pho Chin, Bo Vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

this pho place only has beef broths and i ordered the pho tai which has brisket! the atmosphere, company, and food were all solid especially with it being on the "newish" side. the presentation of the food was great. if you come during the week, you get seated quickly and the food comes out fast. HOWEVER, misfortune has struck on my body and i did not handle the brisket well. based on this update, it's a 5/10 but while eating it was a 7/10. read more

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

If you're looking for a good bowl of pho in Davis, Sit Lol Saigon is the spot! The meat is good quality compared to the cheaper Vietnamese restaurants I've been too and the broth is very tasty as they simmer it for days. With the addition of mint, lime juice, jalapeno and onions there is a lot of fresh flavor. I also tried the side of Chinese donut but it was not freshly fried so I would not recommend it. read more

I didn't have high expectations for Sit Lo but it's actually so good. The fresh noodles are so soft and delicious. The broth is super flavorful! I also love the meat selection. Each meal comes with a tray of fresh veggies as well. Food comes out super fast which is great! My only Critiques are that the restroom is only accessible by going outside and I wish they also had rice dishes! read more

I'm not a huge pho fan- but this place never misses. The restaurant provides every meal with free water, tea and toppings (onions, Thai basil, beansprouts) for your pho. The table includes salt, pepper, hoisin, sriracha, homemade chili oil, and pickled jalapeños. The broth tastes very clean and flavored. Definitely a go to spot in Davis. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - #11: Brisket, Flank and Tendon with Fresh Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Lots of seating including indoors and outdoor seating areas. Food is always good and service is quick as well!

food is good, would come back for it, the service on the other hand is just okay, I understand it's a college town but the three times i've come i have been greeted with the most awkward, confused host. Once i asked if there was currently a waiting list for tables ( there were a few people standing around but also a couple empty tables) and the response i got was a stare, that's it. she also definitely heard me ask. when we did place our order she also forgot to tell us which table to sit at and shooed us away read more

Sit Lo Saigon is my favorite pho place in Davis. As a somewhat new restaurant, the menu offerings are limited to pho with various beef offerings and sweet drinks, but you can't go wrong with any choice. After all, the portions are delightfully generous and tasty. Note that each customer pays before they sit down to enjoy their food and free tea or water. Additionally, the staff are friendly and patient. The peaceful ambiance and small table arrangements make every visit a pleasant opportunity to dine with a close friend. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Sitlo Saigon in Davis, I got a one size bowl of Pho Bo (beef noodle soup). Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations, due to this being a new opening in Davis . From the lackluster taste of the pho to the lack of meat provided I felt as if I was paying for broth and veggie . I was immediately disappointed by the lack of depth and flavor in the broth. It was disappointingly bland, lacking the aromatic richness and savory notes that make a good bowl of pho truly memorable. The overall composition of the soup left me longing for the vibrant and authentic flavors I've come to expect from a great pho, my friend also felt the same way and we love pho ! When considering the best pho spots in Davis, Sitlo Saigon unfortunately finds itself at the bottom of the list. Pho Tasty takes the crown for its superb broth and authentic flavors, followed closely by Mu Pho, then Pho King. Ranking 1)Pho tasty then 2)Mu pho then 3)Pho king then 4)Sitlo Saigon . Will most definitely be back perhaps we came at the soft launch , happy to give another review in the future . read more

When we came in, Wes took our orders patiently, brought out our orders pretty quick. Beef ribs pho was gigantic and my gigantic husband couldn't finish it. My kids love the ribeye pho, the meat was tender. Oxtail pho has fat all over the oxtail, it was so so. The fresh noodles and the broth were delicious! The restaurant was small but nice and clean. We'll definitely come again when we pass by Davis! read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Got the regular pho with brisket and flank with thin noodles. Broth was VERY flavorful and meat and noodles were both delicious and had the perfect texture. I also got the HK lemon tea which was just the right blend of sweet and tart. I enjoyed it immensely. Service is simple but good. You order at the front and are brought your order at your seat, and they have a self serve water station with both ice water and tea. My order came out within five minutes and was piping hot. This is definitely the best pho restaurant in Davis. Portions are huge and filling, and it's more flavorful than any other place I've had. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

FINALLY. A REALLY GOOD pho place in Davis! Davis-ites (college students and residents alike) have had to suffer for years without any decent pho for as long as I can remember (20+ years for me) and although I was sad to see Thai Nakorn leave, Sit Lo Saigon is NOT a bad trade off! The concept is simple. You order and pay upfront, you get seated, and in 5 minutes (I mean, assuming they aren't slammed), you are served a super aromatic and flavorful pho. They have a few sides like the fried donut sticks (A MUST HAVE, order two, you won't want to share) and drinks (iced tea and hot green tea are on the house!). Simple done VERY well. Quick service, and colorful modern ambiance. Five stars! read more

The restaurant has bits of food on the floor and seats, and the bathrooms are dirty too. If it's this dirty imagine what goes on in the kitchen. The condiments are wilted except a sweet cabbage. The rib bone soups with thin noodles are decent but are overshadowed by the minimal cleaning throughout the establishment. We will not return. read more

Sit Lo Saigon is a casual Vietnamese place we dined at while passing by on highway 80. The food is nothing special. They make you order and pay before sitting down. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Pho Tai ($14.95) was average. Broth was fair as was meat quality. 7/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - No read more

All I have to say is I wish this was around when I was in undergrad. 5/5 - cannot miss Reasonable price, portions, and very good service read more

Surprised at the high reviews for this place. Maybe the large portions of (not great quality) meat appeals to local college students. Extra cost for fresh noodles was not worth it. Broth was salty and did not taste authentic. Beef for pho is generally thinly sliced but they leave it in big chunks here with a lot of fat attached. They did not have the soup spoons that are usually used for pho. They did not have any spoon option for taking leftovers to-go. Disappointed that Yelp misled me to eat here. read more

Second time around, the food is amazing, staff is very welcoming and helpful, and the choice of music is great. read more

Sit Lo Saigon - Coconut juice, bone marrow, Ribeye Pho, & wok fried ribeye and garlic. - Vietnamese Near Me - Davis, California

Great service, setting, suggestions, and staff. Can't wait to go back and still can't believe how quick food was ready.

Today was Sit Lo Saigon's soft opening in Davis and I'm so thankful for another Vietnamese restaurant in town. It's located on G street (formally where Thai Nakorn used to be) near the movie theater. The staff there were really nice and informative, you walk up and order when you enter the restaurant and then get seated once you've payed. The restaurant is seems like a great place to have a lunch meeting or go out with a group of friends on the weekend. I ordered the signature Saigon Pho, a doughnut and a Vietnamese coffee - all were awesome. The Pho broth was so flavorful and as their menu notes, had been simmering for 72 hours. Chefs kiss. The variety of meats were tasty, my favorite being the meatballs! I appreciated that along with the side plate with your basic pho necessities, they also provided a plate of pickled onions! The doughnut brought me back to when I was a kid and we'd get these donuts at Chinese restaurants. For those who've never had one, they are not sugary, but more like a light fried piece of dough. For the coffee lovers, the Vietnamese coffee packs a punch. It has the sweetened condensed milk in it, but the coffee definitely comes through. Their menu is pretty much just pho, so I hope they can expand their menu in the future, but this broth is 10/10. read more

The broth was too salty. Usually I like to enjoy the broth but I couldn't with this one because it was so overly salted and lacked flavor. The broth is very important for a good pho and i'm disappointed that I didn't have the experience I hoped for. read more

The meat was well cooked and fell of the bone, however the broth was lacking flavor and it was really salty. If there was a option to give it a 3.5 I would but since there is not I am leaning towards a 3/5. The staff was friendly but it felt like I was eating in a taco bell off the highway. read more

Are you f#*&ing kidding me? This place blows every Pho place in Davis out of the water! I mean, it holds its own with any pho I've gotten, anywhere! Broth is insane, meat quality is insane, service is quick, water dispenser is primed and ready to blast your cup full of cold water, so take it easy with that one. I'm not crazy about the warmed-up bean sprouts but they have a whole set up for that so maybe that's a legit thing? Idk. Also the cilantro was added already and not part of the toppings but maybe that's another stylistic choice? But I could forgive much, much more. I would have paid twice as much for this. Also had an option for "fresh noodles". I got those and they were excellent. Look at my history, I've written like 7 reviews in 15 years. I would not come on yelp if the restaurant hadn't knocked my socks off. You have to try Sit Lo. It's a true gem in Davis. I hope it sticks around and doesn't change anything. Edit: I read some reviews after posting this and have to say to the few people who claim "the broth isn't flavorful" - you need to go to the ER now. Something is very wrong with your taste buds if you think this broth is bland. This broth is so deeply rich and satisfying. If you can't taste this broth, what the $#@% do you eat everyday? How rich is your diet? Anyway, that's all. Like I said, I'm not some nerd reviewing every place I eat because I kind of hate Yelp but Sit Lo was that good. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch and conersation. We both had Pho and were deeply impressed with the quality of the food, the presentation and the service. We had plenty of time to talk - no one hovered to get us to leave. We both took food home as well. Generous portions, at least for Old Guys. I will be back for sure and look forward to trying other dishes. Not to be missed! read more

I give this place a 7.5/10 We walked in and thankfully there was no line. You order up front first and then they seat you. The place is a small cute dining area. Drinks are self serve, they have water, iced tea and I think hot tea. My boyfriend and I ordered the pho with the rib and ox tail. Total was about $40 which is a little expensive. The food came out pretty fast because we ordered sat down and I got up to get water and the food arrived before I got my water. The first thing I usually do is taste the broth first and I felt like it was good broth. It tasted soft compared to pho in sac where it has a crispy broth taste so basically it was a light broth. The noodles they used weren't the traditional pho noodles, they were more on the wider end of the rice noodles and they were definitely way over cooked. The noodle portion was pretty up setting because it was small. I would say less then 1 cup of a size. But there was plenty of meat considering the ox tail and rib had a good amount of meat on it. I was really happy they had chili oil and the pickled jalapeños/onions because those are the staple of pho. The veggie portion I feel like they could've given more, it felt more of a 1 serving to me but I do enjoy more veggies so it might be different from everyone. Otherwise I did leave happy and full, my boyfriend said it was good but it didn't fill him up because the noodle portion. But I probably will be coming back to try the traditional pho! Can't wait. read more

The service was very fast. Lots of people in the restaurant. Dude I got that spicy #14 pho. It was way too spicy. I mean gut-busting spicy. I was sweating profusely and my wife (who got the pho with meatballs) was embarassed to be seated with me. Kept hiding herself behind a dangling bunch of thin noodles. But like, why couldn't I stop eating it? I just kept eating and eating. It was so hot my goodness. I think I'm just getting older and I'm a white dude lol. WHEN we go next time, I'm gonna take a Pepcid and get something simple with double noodles (I'ma try the thick noodles). That broth was KILLER! Afterwards we went to have a beer and I could barely fit one glass of beer in my belly because I ate so much of that spicy-azz pho! I overestimated myself that night. It was like the pho put me under a spell. I needed to towel off, both from sweat and from the broth I flung upon my entirety. Buddy give this place a whirl. Delicious! read more

super friendly customer service, brought our food super quickly! they do have big portions, so come with an appetite

This is really 3.5 stars. I thought it was a little overpriced but after seeing how huge the bowl was, I'd say it's fair. The broth wasn't very salty, which is a great thing. I like that they offer two options for noodles. The only downside is that they don't offer plain steak and tripe like other places. I'd rather not pay the little extra for meat I don't want. The restaurant is also a little on the smaller side. Floors are slippery so be careful when you walk and while you're sliding in and out of your chair. They do a pay before you sit process. Nothing special, but not terrible. Would come back if I was already in the area and craving pho. read more

My "go to" pho place in Davis. I order the Saigon special #13 which has the mixed meat and a side of beef marrow bone. Vietnamese filter coffee with condensed milk over ice. It's all about the broth.

The pickled jalapeños have plenty of garlic! read more

This is the best pho I have had! The flavor is absolutely amazing! The service is alright, the inside of the place is okay! I got the #1s and I would highly recommend it! I also got the coconut water and it was 90% ice... for the price I wouldn't recommend it.... read more
