I arrived and I wasn't greeted, however my friend was already seated at a table, so I walked right on over. She had already ordered, so I was looking over the menu to see what I wanted. When the waitress came to take my order she wasn't very personable at all. I ordered the vegan calamari, seafood egg noodle soup and a Thai Tea. The waitress did bring me a glass of water as well. The prices are pretty good considering the amount of food you get and the food is actually really delicious! The inside is spacious with plenty of seating. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the mediocre service we received from the waitress. While we were still eating she came and took the sauces from our table, but didn't remove them from the other tables, which I thought was odd as though it was her way of telling us to leave. She then came to our table with the check, so I asked to boxes to pack my food. She took out payment at table. She then told customers at a table they are closed and sent them on their way. Once we paid I told my friend let's go before we get kicked out! Lol I'm hoping I came on an off day. I'll come back again I just hope the service with be better. For this reason I gave them a solid 3.5 stars

This place has the best pho broth in the area! It is rich, flavorful and savory. I personally think…read moreit's better than Pho Mama and the other pho restaurants in the area. I usually come for lunch and it looks like they've made some changes. Lunch is takeout style but you are able to eat in their restaurant, if desired. Menu is smaller, prices slightly cheaper but also reflected in smaller portions. If looking for full service and larger portions, I would recommend coming for dinner. They also have this ?secret sauce. It looks and tastes like roasted garlic in a red chili oil. It pairs so good with their chili sauce and beef pho. I recommend asking to try this special sauce.

You know when you have a STRONG craving for pho from ONE specific restaurant, and absolutely…read morenowhere else will satisfy it? Well, that's been me for the past few months! I've attempted to come here several times, but the timing just hasn't been on my side. A few weeks ago, we stopped by only to find them closed, with no updated business hours posted. Last week, I came across a recent Yelp review mentioning a lunch menu, and the owner had even responded to that review! So naturally, I assumed they were open earlier in the day. A few days ago, my boyfriend finally got tired of hearing me talk about how badly I was craving THEIR pho and ONLY their pho! No substitutions, no negotiations! So we decided to give it another try. We arrived around 4:30 PM, only to discover their hours had changed to 5:30 PM-12 AM. (The sign in my photo actually says 5:30 PM-12 PM, but I'm assuming they meant 12 AM.) An entire hour too early! I was SO bummed! Since we were already hungry, we ended up going next door for Mongolian BBQ. Mind you, I'm not even a big fan, but hunger won that battle. The entire time, I felt like I was CHEATING on my favorite pho spot! And to make matters worse, as we were leaving around 5:15 PM, we actually walked right past the owners with their dogs! OMG, talk about feeling guilty and almost ashamed! Like I had just been caught cheating! I've since noticed that they've recently updated their business hours on Yelp, which is definitely helpful! Hopefully, this will save me from another unsuccessful pho mission. I'm determined to get my pho fix soon! Weekends might be my best bet since their later opening hours make it a little challenging for us to visit during the week. Until then, the craving continues! And trust me, NO other pho will do!

He lost his fantasy football league and that was the losers bet- food challenge! So what does your supportive sister do? Come and watch of course. The challenge is to eat 4 pounds of Pho with 2 pounds of meat and 2 pounds of noodles- broth is not required, but you do need to finish in one hour. I thought he had a chance, but once that bowl came out and I saw Just how incredibly gigantic it was-I had very little hope That did not stop the staff from being extremely gracious and attentive. We also got to try more than just their delicious pho. I had the bahn mi sandwich 8/10, my son got chicken chow mein, which was 11 out of 10. The mango and coffee tea shakes were also the best I've ever had. Looking forward to going again.

Relaxed Vibe, Great Food & a Fun Pho Challenge!…read more I recommended this location over the other locations because I really like the vibe here: it's quieter, more relaxed, and open until midnight on weekends. There's a beautiful cherry blossom mural on the parking lot wall. Inside, it's bright, spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. Seating is indoors only. Service: Friendly, fast, and efficient. Food & drinks: Good quality, generous portions, and great value. I recommend: * Combination Appetizer: fried shrimp, egg rolls, cream cheese, wontons & potstickers * Traditional Vietnamese banh mi * Boba milk tea * Fried rice They also have a birthday wheel where you can spin for a free gift! And for the adventurous: PHO KING CHALLENGE! 2 lbs of noodles + 2 lbs of meat + 60 minutes. Win and your pho is FREE, you get a free T-shirt, and your photo goes on the Hall of Fame! Lose, and the $60 challenge fee applies, and your photo goes on the Wall of Shame. I also love that they have a frequent diner rewards program. Sign up, earn points, and redeem them for free food, including birthday rewards. Definitely worth joining!

Huong Lan is one of my favorite fast-casual places to grab a bite in Folsom and, without a doubt,…read morethe best Vietnamese eats you're going to find in this area - especially if you skip meat. For the plant-based or vegetarians out there it's worth noting that the staff is very knowledgeable about their meatless options and they were quick to let me know that not only do they carry their own vegan fish sauce in-house, but that all of the veggie banh mi sandwiches are made using vegan butter. Yes! There's also multiple choices for a veggie banh mi - all veggie, vegan chikn, or vegan bbq chikn. I've tried them all and the vegan bbq chikn is my hands down favorite. Want pho? The vegan pho with fried tofu (veggie pho with rice noodles on the menu) is pretty tasty. Pro Tip: Off menu you can also request vegan fresh rolls with tofu

I will say that "Huong Lan" has consistently been one of my main go-to spots for their Vietnamese…read moreBánh Mì sandwiches ever since I started going to their South Sacramento (65th St/Stockton Blvd) location back in the early-2000s. This takes me to their Folsom location which opened its doors back in late-2021. Situated in a decent sized outdoor strip mall with a mix of boutiques and retail business, this Huong Lan is located directly off of East Bidwell St and adjacent to Wales Dr. Parking is fairly easy to find on any given day and they have very reasonable hours of operation being open weekdays from 10am-9pm and weekends from 10am-8pm. Since I live in the suburbs, this location is actually easier for me and is very convenient for those that live in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and other neighboring communities. One really unique thing about this location is that they have a drive-thru for those that don't wish to exit their vehicles. However, if you're not in a rush, I do recommend dining inside as the interior dining area is quite open, inviting, and spacious. And one really positive thing about this location is that they are not nearly as busy as their other locations. More often than not, I am waiting in line (sometimes up to 30 minutes) just to place an order at the South Sacramento location. I also noticed how much of a variety this location offers including 15 different Bánh Mì variations, Phở, noodle soups, Vermicelli bows, rice plates, and a nice assortment of appetizers. They also carry several types of pearl teas, milk teas, and boba drinks. At this location, I literally entered the restaurant, walked up to the front counter, and placed my order. I ended up coming here during the afternoon on Saturday 5/30/2026 at around 2:00pm. My Bánh Mì sandwich of choice was their B7 "Grilled Pork" aka "Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng" and was priced at $9.25 (after tax). After making my payment, I sat down and within 5 minutes, my sandwich was brought out to me. I am going to be honest with everything, the bread was soft while the veggies (cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and daikon) were all laid out very proportionally. But what this Bánh Mì was seriously lacking was the grilled pork! I love a good Bánh Mì sandwich but just ONE strip of pork? C'mon guys, I've been to your other locations and they have been very generous with the proteins. However, everything tasted great and I will still give this place an above average rating based on the service, location, ambiance, quality/freshness of food, and overall experience. I also wanted to add that the inside was very clean and sanitary while the public restroom was spotless. When you factor in a very spacious interior with a convenient drive-thru at the exterior and a pleasant dining experience in a quiet part of town, I am giving the Folsom "Huong Lan" location a respectable and above average four stars.

The Michelin Bib Gourmand award Pho Mama has earned has been well rewarded. If you are looking for…read morethe most exceptional pho broth in the Sacramento area, you've come to the right place. The line moves fast, but the fact that there is a line and waitlist most nights proves the flavor here is no joke. The pho was the clear standout for me. The other appetizers I had were good, but nothing to break the mold in particular. It is the soup that will keep you coming back here. With exceptional service and intense umami, I would certainly reccomend you give this place a shot for your next pho night out.

This place is Michelin Guide-recognized for a reason! I first started coming here almost two years…read moreago after my brother introduced me to it, and it has been one of my go-to spots ever since. I really enjoy the small, cozy atmosphere because you get to enjoy the experience and the company of the people you came with. We came in with a group of about 9 people, and surprisingly, the wait wasn't too long. The staff are always super friendly, welcoming, and inviting! We usually get the salt & pepper wings and spring rolls, which are both SO good. This last time, I was so caught up enjoying my food that I completely forgot to take pictures! I ended up getting the #7, and the small size was honestly the perfect portion for me. you definitely can't forget the shakes and tea..they're bomb too! Definitely a spot I'll continue coming back to!

You also have the option to make them on your own, but I am always lazy to make the rolls myself. I ordered the grilled marinated chicken with rice as my entree.

There are still other menu items I would like to try, so I'll definitely be back. There is plenty of seating for large groups and the prices are average.

Perfectly balanced in flavors and textures. You could taste each element, and everything worked so well together--the crunchy veggies, fried wonton wrapper and soft pork patty meat rolled tightly in one. Even loved the dipping sauce! We were tempted to get another order to take for later, but felt like this should really be eaten fresh. This standout dish is a MUST try! 5/5 THIT NUONG CUON (#7) ~ grilled marinated pork roll. All I could taste was the BBQ pork. I think the flavor of the pork took over the roll. It was still good, but #2 was definitely better. 4/5 GOI TOM THIT (#8) ~ Shrimp and pork belly salad. Very flavorful and refreshing! Though I think the salad dressing was a bit spicy. A little goes a long way! Loved the crunchy cracker that came with the salads! 4/5 HEN XUC BANH TRANG (#9) ~ Clam salad. This was a bit too salty for me with the side dressing. I liked the clams, but ended up using the other dressing from the shrimp salad instead. 4/5 We had thought the appetizers would be smaller and that we'd be able to find another spot to complete our meal, but that definitely wasn't the case! Four items could have easily fed 5-6 hungry people! So many fun flavors and textures--it was an exciting party in our mouths! Everything we had was abundant and way more than we expected, so we had to pack up some leftovers. Thankfully, we had a cooler chest in the car! This spot has reasonable prices and generous portions, so come hungry and expect to leave completely satisfied!

The disappointment has truly set in. I've been eating at Pho ABC off and on for many years, but the…read morequality continues to decline. For years, they've been the only consistent game in town, so they've had the market cornered. Unfortunately, it feels like they've gotten comfortable. The pho noodles routinely come out stiff, and when I request my steak on the side, it often arrives brown and partially frozen--sometimes still thawing from the freezer. The broth is weak and tastes mass-produced, they skimp on the limes, and the basil has virtually no flavor. The staff is friendly, but the service often feels rushed, like they're more interested in getting you in and out than creating a memorable experience. Even after seeing the same customers for years, there's little sense of recognition or personal connection. With Tran Kitchen Vietnamese now serving traditional, flavorful Vietnamese food in town, Pho ABC really needs to wake up and step up its game. Competition is a good thing, and hopefully it pushes them to bring the quality back to where it used to be.
