Good cuts of meat and fresh veggies not wilted
Halin S.

Clean fresh ingredients in the food. Relaxing vibe. Music clean space. Waiter and staff were efficient. Good real flavor you want in pho. I got the chicken pho. Thanks! Tran family, I will be back.

Fish Sauce Wings
Tremaine R.

We were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant that serves cơm thịt nướng and we found our new spot. Get the fish sauce wings, they were perfect!

Spring Rolls
Heath S.

What a great find in an old shopping center in Folsom. As soon as we walked in, we were seated and served waters.. The place is clean and I love the woodwork on the tables. There are three TVs playing different content. We shared our dishes to see how our favorites and something we hadn't heard of stacked up against our years eating Vietnamese in the Bay Area. Here's what we thought of the food: Thai Tea - 9 Flavorful without being too sweet. Probably the best balance I've had! Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls - 9 Fresh shrimp (no fishiness) and wonderful herbs with a warmed peanut sauce. Grilled Betel Leaf Beef over rice - 10 Wow...so much flavor in these meatloaf sausage wrapped treasures. The salad is kinda of plain but the rice is well cooked and fish sauce is pretty good (could use more flavor but I love that it isn't overly sweet). Grilled Meat over Vermicelli- 9 Very flavorful pork that was perfectly cooked. Mixed with vermicelli, lettuce and fish sauce makes this light and flavorful. We were amazed at the quality of food here in this nondescript strip mall restaurant. They will be taking a lot of business from the other Vietnamese restaurants in Folsom. I highly recommend a visit!

Tran Kitchen is one of the better Vietnamese food options in the area, and I'm giving it 4 stars for the exceptional service, clean restaurant, convenient location, and ample parking. The food is good for the local clientele, so expect flavors that are a bit milder and more approachable. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine can be bold and complex, which may not appeal to everyone who is new to it. The egg rolls were a standout. They were seasoned well and won me over from the very first bite. We ordered several classics: Pho Dac Biet, Bo Kho, and Bun Bo Hue. The beef broth was well prepared, but all three soups tasted very similar to me. While that worked well for the pho, it was somewhat disappointing for the Bo Kho and Bun Bo Hue, which traditionally have their own distinct flavor profiles and seasonings. The dishes seemed tailored more toward American palates, and I found myself adding extra saté while still craving more lemongrass and traditional mam-based seasoning. The Bun Bo Hue, in particular, would benefit from optional authentic additions such as pork blood, cha hue, and pork shoulder. I spoke with the owner about this, and he agreed that offering these ingredients upon request could be a great option. I believe this would attract more Asian customers looking for a more authentic experience. There is a sizable Asian community in the area, and many of us are often hesitant to try new Asian restaurants because authenticity can vary widely. That said, if you're new to Vietnamese food, Tran Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. They offer all the classic favorites, the service is excellent, and you won't have to travel far to enjoy a solid Vietnamese meal.

Vietnamese Flan with iced coffee on top

FINALLY. Folsom has a Vietnamese restaurant that gets it right! Wow, did Folsom need this. I was honestly getting pretty disappointed with some of the local Vietnamese restaurants. It felt like the focus was on pumping out huge quantities of pho rather than actually caring about the quality of the food. Then Tran Vietnamese opened its doors, and it has completely changed my opinion. First off, the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their customer service and actually care about the experience they're providing. But let's talk about the pho. I've ordered the rare beef pho multiple times now, and it is outstanding. The broth comes out piping hot, the noodles are fresh, and the steak is actually fresh rather than tasting like it came straight from the freezer. The basil is incredibly aromatic, the limes are always juicy, and all those little details make a huge difference. I usually stick with pho, but Henry, one of the owners, convinced me to branch out and try the shaken beef. I'm glad I listened because WOW. The beef was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Definitely worth ordering. The Vietnamese egg rolls are another winner. Super crispy on the outside, with fresh carrots and lettuce, plus the dipping sauce ties everything together. More recently, I started ordering the grilled pork spring rolls, and WOW again. Fresh, flavorful, and packed with great texture. Another easy recommendation. And then there's dessert, something I've honestly never really ventured into with Vietnamese food before. I tried their Vietnamese flan with coffee on top, and I didn't know what I was missing! The coffee is rich but still smooth and creamy, while the flan is silky and packed with flavor. The combination is seriously delicious. I'll definitely be ordering this again. What I really appreciate about Tran Vietnamese is that they clearly take pride in what they're serving. The food tastes fresh, the flavors are there, and the whole experience feels authentic rather than mass-produced. Folsom has needed a place like this for a while. I'm genuinely thankful they opened here. I'll definitely keep coming back. If you haven't tried Tran Vietnamese yet, put it on your list. Start with the rare beef pho... and then let Henry talk you into something else.

New place in Folsom and we were not disappointed! Everything was fantastic. Food came out quickly and fresh. Their fried egg rolls are the best in town, and I've had others at many Vietnamese places. Nice friendly service. We will be back and highly recommend trying them out.

Bahn mi & Com Thit Nuong chicken
Mel J.

We visited the restaurant during Grand opening for lunch. It was packed and it took a while to get our food. The service was friendly and they checked several time on us and to refill the water. We visited again the following week for a to-go order. The restaurant wasn't busy but we still had to wait quite a while for our food. - H4. Bo Kho with bun: the soup broth was good (tomatoey with a hint of sweetness). The beef pieces were tender and they were lots of pieces. The bun was super good: crunchy on the outside yet soft inside. It was the perfect combo to dipped into the broth. - P2. Pho Tai Bo Vien: the portion was generous. The broth wasn't too fatty and tasted clean yet savory. The noodle was cooked perfectly and they were quite generous for the meatball & sliced steak. - S1. Bahn Mi Thit Nuong chicken: it was okay. It didn't have the pate as in other Bahn mi places. However, the pickled vegetables were crunchy and fresh. The chicken pieces were tender and flavorful. - R2. Com Thit Nuong chicken: the portion was good. The chicken was juicy and flavorful but I wish it was more charred.

Chicken combo noodle plate
Teishetta H.

I ordered the combo noodle plate with chicken. I wish I had a better picture, but it was so good. I could not stop eating.! I called the order over the phone. The guy was very nice and patient with me. I did a pick up and the food is 100 out of 10. Extremely good. I would not fix anything about this plate. I also got a side of eggrolls the rice bowl, aside of egg rolls and. Pho was $49! But everything is expensive these days so I'm OK with it! Great food, and amazing service

H2. Shaken Beef over Rice
Lori L.

Clean restaurant in an old strip mall but the food was good. Service was friendly and fast. Shaken beef was flavorful but the pieces of meat could've been cut a little bigger. Served on a bed of lettuce with tomatoes and sautéed onions, plus pickled onions on top. Egg rolls were average but the bread that came with my cohort's beef stew was delicious with good texture.

Dine in experience
Hau N.

Ordered the spicy lemon grass beef soup to go and it was tasty. Very good customer service and has a nice and efficient menu to tailor all taste buds. Come hungry. They also do dine in too.

Thai Tea
Gardena P.

We were greeted immediately after we arrived. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Food was AMAZING! The best Thai Tea I've had in a while and their pho was just what I needed. Savory broth and great meat. Can't wait to come back

pho
Leilani S.

Very good will be back! The hospitality was great they were checking up making sure service and food was good. The place felt clean and has a good ambiance. The pho and wings were very good. The food felt home cooked and not processed. I really enjoyed my pho. This place is really new so I took a chance and happy I went. I was very impressed in the quality of food and the attentive service.

Refreshing coconut water with large amounts of meaty coconut
Sarah M.

How does one express pure joy and satisfaction that there's finally a LEGIT, local Vietnamese kitchen that prides itself on 24-hour slow cooked broth -that is so well balanced and not overly salted that it brings a watery-eyed level of gratitude?? I'll try to do them justice but do yourself a favor and pull up ASAP. Everything we've had thus far (3 visits in 2 weeks and counting) has been phenomenal. My kids and I love the steak pho because that broth is a proper slow cooked, full-flavor bowl of goodness and the generous protein that it's packed with actually has my son say next time he'll do kid's portion (and he can put it away!). The bahn mi sandwich is a knock out with tender charred meat, all the picked veggies and crunchy yet soft French baguette. You can taste the family tradition in their egg rolls (and I learned the owner's mom makes them), that's the secret ingredient, made with love. The team is so welcoming and warm and attentive. We celebrated our son's bday and they had a fun spinning wheel to gift him a little treat. Guys, I no longer have to make the trek to deep South Sac or wait for the next trip to San Jose to satisfy the craving. Tran Kitchen fills a missing piece of Southeast Asian cuisine that's been missing in the Folsom/EDH area. Please patronize them soon! Don't let the dated strip mall fool you. It just means lots of parking! It's nicely updated, clean, modern and ready to delight.

What items can be made gluten free besides Pho?

Hi Fabi, you can go with the pork and shrimp spring rolls, beef stew served with pho noodles, the shaken beef rice plate (ask for no soy sauce, use vegan oyster sauce instead), or the grilled shrimps vermicelli bowl.

Someone in our family wanted pho. Someone else in our family wanted Chinese food…read more Lo and behold, there was a place that could satisfy both: pho n roll. The service was very friendly. Flexible. Bathrooms are clean. The pho: everyone in the family loved it and ate it up. But the one thing that was very awesome was that peking spare ribs. It's like the Buffalo Wing equivalent of this restaurant. The meat is on the bone but it is a very satisfying texture to rip off the bone. You will need dental floss after this meal but you will leave so happy and satisfied. I am still jonesing for these many days later. And also the green vegetables that they served underneath the spare ribs were amazingly fresh and crunchy. My wife was totally skeptical when I handed her the mini bok choy or whatever it was. But in the end, she was won over but how good the vegetable tasted. I think maybe the vegetables taste so good because the restaurant is in the same mall as ranch 99. Strategic advantage! Other things we appreciate it was the water was ice cold. And if you have little kids, the staff let you get a pizza next door or a little outside food for the toddler if that helps your kids settle in for a meal the rest of the grown ups deserve.

Remodeled to a modern ambience which I thought was simple and nice compared to other pho establishments. We started with Goi Nem Nuong (grilled pork spring rolls) - this was actually really good and served warm. We also grabbed the salt and pepper calamari. Batter was crispy, calamari was chewy but was a tad oily. Flavor was there. Pho N Roll noodles came up short. We order (2) special Pho (Dac Biet) and BBH in large size. Ordered a small Pho Tai Gan for our little one. While there was ample noodles and broth in portions, the flavor was lacking. Pho and BBH were both on the bland side. BBH was not spicy or savory. Most noodle options have 4 sizes (XS, S, L and XL) however the specials only have 3 leaving out XS which makes sense. Conveniently located with ample parking as it shares a center with ranch 99, Starbucks, etc. They have a really large menu! While we may not have loved the pho, there are so many other rice dishes to try! Until next time.

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.

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!
