We went in and were promptly seated, and I agree it's a well decorated and clean environment with helpful staff. The dining area features beautiful wood work and Asian pottery in display cubbies along the walls. The Chinese lanterns were also beautiful. The food was delicious and served family style. The servings are large. We ordered the pork fried rice, specialty menu walnut prawns and the Wor wonton soup. The prawns were massive, true prawns! the food was great, I love the Wor wonton and the rice is always a hit. We ate to satisfaction and then had plenty to bring home to my boys. Of note, the food is excellent at the El Dorado Hills location, and my son liked it so much he ordered the same items at the Folsom location and was disappointed. The prawns were regular sized shrimp sliced in half, with only 5 half sliced shrimp in his order, over a soggy salad. The dish looked completely different. the shrimp were not breaded, and served in a thin sauce. My recommendation since learning this and seeing his to go order is to stick with the EDH location.

EXQUISITE FOOD WITH A VIEW…read more This is one of the few restaurants in Tahoe City I hadn't been to, so my sister made reservations for my birthday. Since we arrived fifteen minutes early, the hostess sent us upstairs to the rooftop bar to wait. The view was gorgeous, and we perused the menu. Our hostess returned at the exact time of our reservation and escorted us downstairs to our window table where there was a cute Happy Birthday sign, along with a lake view. So many tempting items were on the menu! We started with PNW Oysters ($4 each). Since we were skeptical because it was still August, we only ordered 4. What a mistake! I could easily have eaten more of these fantastic and fresh ocean delicacies. Next we had the Gyoza Dumplings ($18) - 6 Chicken and Vegetable flavorful pastries with a creamy ginger dip. My sister was still craving the Ahi Poke Cones ($14), which I had originally vetoed, so I succumbed to requesting them at the last minute. Fortunately, our helpful server could accommodate this sudden change. Like everything we selected, these light and crispy cones were beautifully plated. We both opted for the same entree - Grilled Filet Mignon ($59), and the chef was kind enough to make mine medium. Every tender morsel with the demi glaze was a scrumptious delight. So were the Yukon Mashed Potatoes. We were so satiated, that we took a brief look at the dessert menu and passed. That didn't stop the waiter from bringing us a pretty Dark Chocolate Mousse with a candle and a birthday greeting. Of course, we couldn't resist sharing this thoughtful treat. By the time we were done with this feast, we were so full we had to get some exercise, so we took a look at the Bacci Ball court and the fire pit below the restaurant. When we popped by the bar, we ran into people we knew and had a great time reconnecting. All in all, it was a stellar evening. Adding dinner at Wolfdale's to my unique "musts" whenever I'm in Tahoe.

The service, staff, and overall evening were wonderful. The children were well behaved and acting exactly as you would expect at a family-friendly restaurant. Wolfdale's has always been a place where families are welcomed, and that was certainly our experience. What we did witness was the complaining party confronting and harassing the family with children, which was unnecessary, rude, and completely uncalled for. We have been coming to Wolfdale's since we were children ourselves, and it has always been one of our favorite restaurants because of its warm, welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service. Unfortunately, every now and then, there are people who seem to believe the world should cater exclusively to them. Thank you to the entire Wolfdale's team for handling the situation with professionalism, grace, and kindness while making all of your guests feel welcome. That is exactly why we will continue to return.

We always order our usual from her and the food is always great. My husband loves her combination pho. Yes, it's not your typical hearty full beef flavor but the broth is still flavorful and light. The spicy raw beef laab (not bitter) is one of the best we've ever had. The meat is so soft it melts in your mouth. The kapoon is very flavorful and I love that it is very coconutty as I like my broth thick and sweet. The kapiek has its days of good and bad, I don't like the texture of the chicken but the thickness of the homemade noodles is perfect. And our final dish, is the Thai basil, love the flavor of the basil, it is not too strong but enough to give it a great taste, I love that she uses ground chicken instead of strips of chicken like most places I've tried.

The flavor was all in the sauce for the mapo tofu, but not in the tofu itself. I didn't mind the ambiance too much inside but it was kind of dark inside. Seems like a great place for family dinners though!

So there I was... sitting on an oil rig in Alaska, talking to a sheriff's deputy with over 20 years…read moreon the job. He says, "My buddies keep telling me about this place called Pho King Good." Funny part? Even he had never been there. Well, that little story stuck with me. Fast forward a few weeks. My road trip partner, Koda, and I are heading home from Disneyland, cutting through Sacramento toward Grass Valley. We roll into Auburn and BOOM there it is. Pho King Good. Now let's just take a second to appreciate that name. If you're gonna swing for the fences with a name like Pho King Good, you've set the bar about as high as Mount Everest. You don't get to be "pretty decent." You'd better make me question every bowl of pho I've ever eaten. The sign? Absolutely iconic. It practically jumps out and hollers at you from the side of the road. Easy in, easy out. Road-tripper approved. Walking inside, though, I was expecting a little more "Pho King Palace" and a little less "we've been meaning to remodel since the Clinton administration." The marble counter looked nice enough, but the place just felt like it needed a little love. If I owned a restaurant with a name that good, I'd lean into it. Give me lanterns. Give me atmosphere. Make me feel like the King just walked in. Charge me another couple bucks if you have to I wouldn't mind if the experience matched the name. Then came the menu. It felt a little like Dysfunction Junction. They had everything listed, but it wasn't organized in a way that made ordering easy. Give me sections. House Pho. Beef Pho. Chicken Pho. Special Pho. Help a hungry traveler out. The food? Solid... right down the middle of the road. After hours in the car, a hot bowl of pho hits the spot no matter what. Koda really enjoyed his chicken dish, and our vegetable egg rolls with the peanut sauce were decent, although the wrapper was just a touch on the rubbery side. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which always counts for something. My only real disappointment was this: with a name like Pho King Good, I expected to leave saying, "That's the best pho I've ever had." Instead, I left saying, "That was... good." And then came the plot twist. Time to pay. Cash only. So now I'm walking out to the ATM like I'm making a withdrawal for a back-alley poker game or a dispensary run. I'm standing there thinking, "Well... this tip just took a hit because I wasn't planning on paying an ATM fee for my noodles." I still don't quite understand it. You're giving change, printing receipts, running a business... we're already 95% of the way to taking cards! Overall, this wasn't about whether the food was amazing or terrible. It was about the experience. Sometimes that's the story worth telling. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably. Because sometimes a bowl of pho, your best buddy Koda riding shotgun, and a restaurant with the greatest pun in California are all you really need. And if they ever decide to polish the place up and make it live up to that legendary name... It might just become Pho King Great.

VEGAN SIGHTING!!! I…read moredon't even know where to start my fellow vegans. This quirky, Vietnamese restaurant in the city of Auburn, CA, has by far the best vegan Banh Mi sandwich. The tofu was prepared so it did not take up the whole sandwich. The pickled radish and carrots had the perfect and balanced of sour and sweet. Of course, can't leave out the herbs of cilantro and fresh jalapinjoes. The french bread was crispy outside but still soft and hearty as you take a bite. My earth was it a 2 thumbs up!!! Then their vegan pho with veggies and tofu did not disappoint. Their veggie broth was perfectly blended and made wonderfully that I was not even thinking this was vegan. The staff was kind and informative. They were attentive and friendly. Then comes the merch. If you like a play on the word Pho, then come and check out their shirts for sale. All I have to say is "Life is Pho king good." With this said, another gem in Auburn, CA.
